Prelude


Don Graham had spent three dollars for a lottery ticket. He was at the store, buying bread and milk on his way home from his job. He didn't usually buy the tickets, feeling the odds were far too great, but the change from the ten-dollar bill he had given the clerk at the convenience store came to three dollars and some change.

When the clerk asked if he wanted any tickets, he shook his head. She was handing him the change when he said, "What the hell, give me three dollars worth. Easy picks."

It was a few days later when the news announced the winning ticket had been sold in the neighborhood where Don lived with his family. A week later, Don checked the numbers on his ticket to the ones in the paper.

"What's the matter?" Marge, Don's wife, asked. "You look like you saw a ghost."

Don checked and rechecked the numbers. Each time he did, they matched one of the lines on his ticket.

"Marge, call Marc and Anne. Tell them to get over here," Don said.

"Why, what's wrong?"

"Honey, nothing is wrong, nothing at all. I just need you to call Marc and my sister."

While Marge called Marc and Anne's house, Don sat in his chair staring at the ticket. He read the back, took out a pen and signed it.

Marc, Anne and their two children, Tom and Sally came over a few minutes later. Don called his own two children to join the families in the living room.

"We just won the lottery," Don said.

Marc shook his head, accusing his brother in law of pulling his leg. Anne and Marge looked at Don, knowing immediately he was serious. Once the reality of what was happening set in, the two families began hooting and hollering.

"You lucky shit!" Marc said, slapping Don on the back.

Don told everyone to sit down. He looked at his family, smiling as he gathered his thoughts.

Marc and Marge were siblings, just like Don and Anne. They began dating in high school and married, brothers marrying sisters. Times were difficult as the two young couples began their families. They had moved to Michigan in hopes of finding jobs in the auto plants, but settled for work in a small shop.

As their families grew, the two couples remained close. They shared the bad times as well as the good. So, when Don realized he had the winning ticket, he never considered not sharing the good fortune.

"Marc, Anne, Marge, we all won. We will share the money," Don said.

Anne and Marc were spellbound at first, but knew they would have done the same thing.

After a few days, Marc and Don found an attorney and a money manager. They listened as the two men laid out a plan for them, paying close attention to the suggestions they offered.

When all was said and done, the amount of money they received was just over thirty two million dollars. They went on a spending spree, moving from their small homes to large houses. The money manager made sound investments, parlaying the money into many more millions of dollars.

The families remained close and even became closer. Over the months after winning the money, Don, Marge, Anne and Marc began enjoying life to its fullest—so did their children.

Now, the teens were on their way to Florida. Their parents had purchased a yacht and the four teens were going to be in the charter business. Jack, his sister Kim and Tom and his sister Sally had packed their things into the Suburban and, as the new owners, were heading south for the first meeting with the builder and the captain they had hired.

-------

Harry Shockley worked as an engineer for Bowman boats, a custom yacht builder. One of the boatyard's customers had traded in a use boat, a Luhrs convertible. Harry worked out a deal to buy the boat for his family. His children took an interest in fishing and were soon winning tournaments.

Harry and his wife, Ellen, encouraged their children and made it possible for them to peruse their sport. The teens and their friends practiced fishing every chance they could. It wasn't long until they had local notoriety and were written about in the sports section of the newspaper.

When the owner, Bill Bowman, decided to retire, Harry bought the business from him. He worked hard at his craft, making the business continue its successful history. While he had orders for several new yachts, he was stuck with a boat the owner abandoned.

When Harry heard about a possible buyer, he did everything he could to make the yacht presentable. He didn't hold much hope of selling the yacht; its design was different than most people wanted. When he found out it was being looked at by four teenagers the same age as his own children, his hopes diminished even more. The last thing he needed was to have to spend time showing rich brats the yacht.

The day he sold the boat, Harry was speechless. He was also shocked that it was the teens that made the decision, not their parents. The more he learned about the families, the more he liked them. Like he and his wife, the parents of the teens were very close to their children.

Jack had asked about fishing and Harry was quick to offer his children's services. He asked Eddie and Jenny if they would take the teens fishing and they agreed. As the date got closer, Jenny began to resent Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally before even meeting them.

Jenny and her brother Eddie were close friends with Brad and Kathy Waters, very close friends. Jenny and Brad were dating, as were Eddie and Kathy. The four of them spent most of their time together.

It was a day before Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally would arrive. They would have to spend a day on the boat, serving as guides for the teens. Even though Jenny had gotten over her unfounded resentment, she wasn't happy about having to go.

Chapter 1


Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally had been in the truck for twelve hours. Just outside of Atlanta, they were about half way to their destination. Jack was driving while Tom napped in the backseat. Kim leaned against the door, her hand gently rubbing Tom's head as he used her leg as a makeshift pillow.

Sally stared out the front window. She had just woken from brief nap. Once she was completely awake, she stretched her arms back, shaking her head from side to side.

"Where are we, Jack?" Sally asked.

"Atlanta, Georgia, about twelve hours from Fort Lauderdale," Jack replied, glancing at his cousin.

Sally nodded, looking behind her at Kim and her brother. "How long has Tom been sleeping?"

"A few hours I guess. I was sleeping too," Kim replied.

"Poor Jack, he was the only one awake. I'm sorry," Sally said.

"No problem, it wasn't that bad. Not too much traffic at night so driving was pretty easy. Gave me a chance to think."

"What were you thinking about?" Sally asked.

"I don't know—lots of things."

"Megan?"

"Yeah."

"Do you miss her?"

"A little. I'll get over it."

Sally nodded.

"I did a lot of thinking about the yacht too. It's scary. I hope we know what we're getting ourselves into. We're taking on a lot of responsibility you know."

"I know, but we can handle it. We just have to learn to work smart, like Mr. Stone and Mr. Mitchell said. We have to hire people that know the things we don't know, at least until we learn."

Jack smiled as he glanced at Sally. "Yup. Dad says it's important to know what you don't know. Maybe more important than what you do know. If we admit to ourselves we don't know everything we'll be better off."

"There's something I do know, I have to pee. Can we stop pretty soon?"

"Sure, we'll be through Atlanta in a little while. Can you wait?"

Nodding her head, Sally told Jack she could wait. A half hour later, Jack pulled into a truck stop. Once the truck was parked, he and Sally got out. Kim woke Tom and they got out of the truck too.

"It's really nice out. I wonder how warm it is?" Kim said.

It was five in the morning. It was still cool, but much warmer than it was when they left Michigan the night before. After stretching for a moment, the four of them headed for the building.

Jack and Tom finished first, waiting outside for their sisters. There were several men coming and going from the restroom building, most of them truckers.

"I wonder what it's like to drive one of those big trucks," Tom said, pointing at the row of eighteen-wheelers parked in the rest area.

Jack shrugged his shoulders.

Kim and Sally came out of the building. They both crossed their arms across their chests, shivering a little in the cool air. "Let's go, it's chilly out here," Sally said as she started toward the Suburban.

Tom took over the driving. Jack and Sally sat in the backseat. Once they were on the road again, Jack stretched out on the seat with his feet on Sally's legs. Sally told him to turn around so he could rest his head on her leg.

Jack lay on his back, his knees bent and his feet flat on the seat. Looking up, he smiled at Sally. "This is much more comfortable, thanks."

Sally grinned as she brushed a few stray hairs off Jack's forehead. "No problem."

Jack closed his eyes. He was tired, but didn't really feel like sleeping. Rolling onto his side, he faced his cousin, putting his arm under his head. Sally put her hand on his shoulder, gently stoking him until Jack began to doze.

It was just after ten o'clock when Tom pulled off the interstate. Kim and Sally had been complaining they were hungry and wanted to eat. He found a family style restaurant near the exit and pulled into the lot.

Sally shook Jack's arm, waking him. When they got out of the truck, Kim said, "Wow, it's really warm out."

"Where are we?" Jack asked.

"In Lake City, Florida. We get on ten here and take that to ninety-five," Tom said.

After having breakfast, the four teens were on the road again. Tom drove again while Jack sat up front with him. Kim and Sally shared the backseat. They looked at the scenery as they traveled along the highway. They pointed out the different things they saw to one another, making comments about how beautiful the citrus groves looked.

"I want to change into shorts," Kim said as she leaned over the seat. She pulled a small duffel bag she and Sally had packed for the trip so they wouldn't have to open the suitcases. "Do you want your shorts too, Sally?"

"Yes please. I want to get out of these jeans and this flannel shirt. It's way to hot for these things."

Tom offered to stop at a rest area so the two girls could change, but they said it wasn't necessary. Helping each other, Kim and Sally changed their tops. They removed their jeans, pulling on their shorts. Jack glanced over the seat, chuckling when he saw his sister and cousin sitting in their panties.

"That's much better," Sally said after zipping her shorts. She folded her jeans, putting them into the duffel bag.

"I liked it better when you guys were in your panties," Jack said as he laughed.

"Sorry, but I don't think we can do that. I don't want to give the truckers a show," Kim said.

The remainder of the trip went fairly fast. They made one stop so Jack and Tom could trade places and they all could take a break. It was a little before five o'clock when Jack parked in the hotel parking lot.

"Wow, this place is really nice. I thought we were staying in a motel, not a resort," Sally said.

"Dad made reservations for us, but he told me we shouldn't get used to it. He said this was a treat because it's our first trip down alone," Jack said.

"Maybe next time the new house will be ready," Kim said. "Mom said they were going to close on the house in a couple weeks."

"There is still a lot of work that has to be done before we can start staying at the house," Sally said. "I heard our moms talking to Mrs. Mitchell about it. They are going to completely redo the inside."

The teens got out of the Suburban. They all went into the lobby to register and find out about their room. Once they had the paperwork completed, the clerk told them to pull the truck up to the door so the bellhop could tend to their bags.

Jack went to get the truck while the rest of them waited at the front door with a man in a uniform. When Jack pulled up, the man opened the tailgate and began removing the suitcases, placing them on a cart. Once the bags were loaded, Jack parked the truck again.

Following the bellhop to the elevator, Kim and Sally looked around at the shops along one wall of the spacious lobby. They made a comment about the swim shop, telling their brothers they wanted to go shopping later.

"This is your room," the man said with a heavy Spanish accent. He opened the door, pushed his cart in and began to off load the suitcases, placing them on the stands near the front door.

The man handed Jack the keycard and Jack handed him a five-dollar bill.

"Look at the view of the ocean," Sally said. "It's great!"

Kim and Sally stepped out onto the balcony. Jack and Tom followed them, looking down at the beach and other sights. After a few moments, they went back in to check out the room.

The large room had two double beds, a couch, a table with four chairs around it, and a desk. The bathroom was finished in marble with a two-person whirlpool tub and a good size shower stall. Kim opened the clear glass door and looked into the shower.

"I can't wait to get into the shower, I feel grungy," Kim said.

"Neither can I," Sally said. "I'm going to soak in that tub while we're here too."

"Let's get cleaned up and go look around," Tom said. "I want to get some fish or shrimp for dinner."

Jack left the bathroom. Sitting on the couch, he looked through the room service menu. "We could eat in the room tonight. They have a lot of good looking dinners on the menu."

Sally sat next to Jack, leaning close so she could read the menu. "I think that's a great idea, Jack. If Tom and Kim want to go out, I'll stay here and eat with you." Sally giggled. "I'll even have you for dessert," she whispered in Jack's ear.

Jack laughed, shaking his head. "Okay, we'll have dinner in the room tonight."

Sally and Kim began unpacking the suitcases, putting the clothing into drawers and hanging them on the clothes bar. Once the suitcases were empty, they carried the toiletries to the bathroom. The two girls placed the shampoo in the shower and the other things on the marble counter.

Kim began to undress. She got into the shower, started the water and sighed as the warm spray cascaded down her body. Sally also stripped, joining Kim in the shower stall.

When the two girls finished in the shower, Kim stuck her head out the door, telling her brother and Tom they could get into the shower. Jack came in, removed his clothes and got in the stall. Once he finished, Tom took his shower.

The four teens made room for one another at the sink counter. Jack and Tom took turns brushing their teeth while the girls stood behind them fixing their hair. Once they were all finished in the bathroom, they went to the bedroom to get dressed.

Kim and Sally decided to wear sundresses and sandals. Jack and Tom put on shorts and Polo shirts, wearing boating shoes on their bare feet. After making sure they had a keycard for the room, they left to explore the hotel.

"Tom and I called home while you two were in the shower," Jack said as they rode the elevator to the lobby.

"Is everything okay?" Kim asked.

"Yeah. Our parents are coming down on Thursday. I guess Mr. Stone was able to move the closing up for the house," Jack said.

"Do we have to pick them up at the airport?" Sally asked.

"No, they're going to rent a car. Our parents are staying in West Palm Beach, but they said they'd see up while they're here." Jack stepped off the elevator, followed by the rest of the group.

The teens looked around the hotel. They found the pool and the exercise room along with several of the other things the facility had to offer. They used the skywalk to go to the beach. Removing their shoes, they walked on the white sand. When they reached the ocean, they all walked in the wet sand, letting the surf wash over their feet.

They walked on the beach for a while. Kim said she was hungry and tired, so they made their way back to the hotel. Sally told Kim and Tom that she and Jack planned on eating in the room. Tom thought it was a good idea, but Kim was reluctant. Kim said she wanted to go to the restaurant, but Tom convinced her to eat in the room with everyone else.

"I want the coconut shrimp, a salad and rice," Kim said, handing the menu to Sally.

"Mmmm, that sounds so good. I'll have the same thing," Sally told her.

Jack ordered a steak with baked potato and salad. Tom ordered grouper. After calling in the order, Jack turned on the television to check the weather.

"Looks like it's going to be nice tomorrow. Calm winds and close to eighty degrees," Jack said as he watched the weather channel.

"Cool, we can wear our bikinis and work on our tans," Sally said. "Mine is starting to fade."

"Make sure you pack sunscreen, I don't want to get burnt," Tom said.

There was a knock on the door. Jack got up, opening it for the girl delivering the food. After placing the covered plates on the table, Tom signed the check, including a tip.

Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally sat at the table eating their dinner. Kim told everyone she was glad they talked her into having room service. The food was excellent and they all enjoyed the meal.

When they finished, Kim and Sally put the dishes in the hallway as the girl had told them too. Jack and Tom stretched out on the beds, propping their heads with folded pillows so they could see the television.

Kim and Sally changed out of their sundresses, putting on tee shirts to sleep in. They went to the balcony, looking at the ocean as they relaxed in the chairs.

"This has been a long day," Kim said. "I'm glad we don't have to drive down here again."

"It wasn't bad, I liked it. If we do it again, I want to make sure we stop for the night. You can't see the scenery in the dark."

"Yeah, and sleeping in the truck sucks!"

"Why don't we go to bed, Kim?"

"Okay, let's go."

Kim and Sally went into the room. Jack and Tom were asleep on the beds. Looking at each other, Kim and Sally giggled.

"They look cute, don't they?" Kim said.

"They look tired to me." Sally moved closer to the bed Jack was sleeping in.

"What do you think you're doing?" Kim asked as Sally got in bed next to Jack.

"I'm going to bed."

"With my brother?"

"Sure, you can sleep with mine." Sally giggled. "Just don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"That leaves about everything open, doesn't it?" Kim laughed as she climbed in next to Tom.

"Maybe we should take their shorts off for them," Sally said.

"Are you trying to get into Jack's pants?"

"Yup!"

Sally sat up, reached for Jack's shorts and unbuttoned them. She tugged the zipper down before pulling them down his legs. After tossing the shorts onto the couch, Sally stretched out next to Jack, pulling the covers over both of them.

When Kim began to remove Tom's short, he woke up. She told him what she was doing, giggling as she tugged at his shorts. Tom helped her, fell back and rolled on his side. Kim snuggled up with her cousin, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

The room went dark when Sally turned off the lamp. She cuddled against Jack, enjoying the feeling of his body against hers. Jack put his arm over Sally, drawing her closer to his body.

In the other bed, Kim spooned against Tom's back. Draping her arm over him, she began to rub his chest. She slowly moved her hand down to his stomach. When Kim began fondling Tom's penis, he let out a muffled groan. Fishing his penis out of the fly in his boxers, Kim began to stroke his growing erection.

After several moments, Kim stopped stroking Tom, letting her hand rest with her fingers lightly holding his penis.

-------

It was after ten in the morning when the teens began to stir. Jack was the first one to wake up. He was a little disorientated as he sat up rubbing his eyes. Glancing down, expecting to see Kim, Jack was surprised to see his cousin lying in the bed with him.

Moving as carefully as he could, Jack slipped out of bed. He looked at his sister and Tom sleeping in the other bed, their arms around one another. Smiling, Jack went to the bathroom to relieve the pressure in his bladder.

Jack went out on the balcony. He breathed deeply, smelling the salt air. Gazing at the beach across the road from the hotel, he watched several people running along the edge of the water. He looked at the skywalk that connected the resort to the beach, wondering where you entered it from within the building.

A warm breeze was coming off the ocean. He watched the palm trees gently swaying in the wind and the small waves lapping at the shoreline. Memories of being on the beach, and at the resort with Megan flowed into his mind. He thought about all of the great times he had when they dated.

The weeks that had passed since Megan professed her love for Lisa did a lot to ease the pain of losing her. While he presented himself as being able to deal with the break up, deep inside he missed her. Jack realized there was very little he could do about what happened and that all the wishing in the world couldn't change things. He just hoped she was happy.

It had only been a little more than six months since his father had won the lottery and his life changed in ways he could have never imagined. He had tried to maintain who he was even if the things he and his family were able to do was way beyond his wildest dreams.

Jack thought back to the vacation on Lake Michigan and how the events that transpired, changed the direction of his life. He smiled as he recalled the things he and Kim had done together. Jack wondered if his father hadn't won the money, would things between him and Kim be the same.

Thinking about the night on the porch of the house they rented for the vacation, Jack felt his penis stir. He could remember every detail of Kim's aggressive behavior and his first blowjob. The events of that stormy night had been the catalyst for all the things that followed.

While taboo, his relationship with Kim was one of love. Jack had overcome any feelings of guilt he felt a short time after he and Kim made love the first time. His feelings for his cousins were almost as strong as they were for his sister. Tom was his best friend as well as a relative. He loved Sally almost as much as he loved his sister.

Chuckling, Jack though about the night on the beach when he, Kim, Sally, and Tom hid in the brush watching their parents carrying on by the bond fire. He realized that he and the others were so much like their parents it was almost uncanny.

Jack felt a pair of hands on his sides. He glanced back to see Sally standing behind him, smiling up at him.

"Morning, Jack."

"Good morning. I didn't wake you up did I?"

"No. What are you doing?"

"Nothing really, just thinking."

Sally giggled as she moved next to Jack. "Do you realize we slept together last night and didn't do anything?"

Jack nodded.

"You aren't mad because Kim and I kind of changed places, are you?"

"No, why would I be?"

"I don't know—I just thought you might be."

Jack turned to Sally, putting his arms around her waist. "Sally, I love you too you know."

Stretching up, Sally kissed Jack. She rested her head against his chest, holding him tightly.

"We're a strange lot, aren't we?" Sally said.

"I don't think so. Why do you say that?"

Sally shrugged her shoulders.

"Is something wrong?" Jack pulled his head back so he could look into Sally's eyes.

"No, nothing's wrong." Sally smiled. "Let's order some breakfast. I want juice and a muffin."

"Sounds good, I could use a cup of coffee."

Jack and Sally went back into the room. Kim and Tom were awake, sitting on the bed with their legs hanging over the edge. Sally asked them what they wanted from room service.

"I want cereal and juice," Kim said.

Tom picked up the menu. He looked it over and then said, "Coffee, eggs, bacon and toast."

Sally giggled as she wrote Tom's order on the paper. "We could just get something to drink while we get dressed and then go out for breakfast."

"We could just get dressed and go too," Kim said.

The four of then chatted about their options for a moment, deciding to get dressed and go out for breakfast. Kim grabbed Tom's arm, pulling him toward the bathroom.

"Come with me, you can wash my back," Kim said, winking at Sally.

"Hey, what about me?" Jack said.

"Sally can wash your back," Kim said with a giggle.

Tom looked at Jack, shrugging his shoulders. He let Kim pull him into the bathroom, chuckling when she began tugging his boxers down. When they were both naked, they climbed into the shower.

Kim handed Tom the shampoo, turned her back to him and wet her hair. Tom poured some of the fragrant liquid on her head, put the bottle down and began to work the shampoo into her hair.

"Mmmm, that feels so good," Kim said as Tom's fingers worked the suds through her hair.

"What's going on between you and my sister?"

"Nothing's going on. What are you talking about?"

"Last night, you slept with me and Sally slept with Jack. Now, we're in the shower together."

"So, isn't that okay?"

"Hell yes! I just thought you and Kim decided to..."

"We're girls, we can change our minds anytime we want to." Kim giggled as she moved under the spray to rinse the shampoo from her hair.

"What about Jack and me? Do we have anything to say about it?"

"Of course you do." Kim turned around. She put her arms around Tom's neck, pulling his mouth to hers. After a tender kiss, Kim pulled back.

Tom grinned, feeling his penis reacting to Kim's kiss and her body against his. She giggled as she wiggled against him.

Reaching for the bar of soap, Kim began to wash Tom's chest. She knelt on one knee as she rubbed the soap over his legs. When she moved to his genitals, Kim took her time washing and fondling him.

"Turn around so I can do your back."

Kim stood up so she could finish washing Tom. Once she was finished, she moved him under the spray to rinse him off. Kim handed the soap to Tom, holding her arms out from her sides so he could wash her.

"We're finished," Kim yelled after she and Tom got out of the shower stall.

Sally and Jack got into the shower, washing one another while Kim and Tom dried themselves.

Once they were all dressed, the teens left the room to find a place to eat breakfast. After checking out the restaurant in the hotel, they decided to see what else was near by. They walked down the street checking out the shops. When they got to a small café, they went in.

After breakfast, Kim suggested they call Jeri and Mr. Shockley to confirm their appointment the next day. They headed back to their room where Kim had the phone numbers. Kim made the calls, talking to Jeri first.

"Hi, Jeri, it's Kim."

"Well hello there. How was the trip down?"

"Fine, long but it was okay. Are we all set for tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, I'll meet you guys there at nine. They are making great progress on Tamika. Harry and Jack have made sure they had plenty of workers on the project."

"Great, I'm going to call Mr. Shockley to confirm everything."

Kim and Jeri chatted for a few moments before hanging up. When Kim called the boat yard, the receptionist confirmed the meeting.

"We're all set," Kim said. "Jeri said they're doing great on the yacht."

"Cool, can we hit the beach now?" Sally said.

"Sure." Tom said.

The four of them changed into their suits. Kim and Sally put shorts on over the bottoms of their bikinis. Jack and Tom wore trunks and tee shirts. Leaving the room, Jack carried the large beach bag the girls had packed while Tom carried his camera. They went across the skywalk to the beach, searching for a place to spread out the blanket they brought with them.

Kim and Sally walked ahead of Tom and Jack. When they found the place they wanted to sit, Kim took the blanket out of the bag. Sally helped Kim spread the blanket over the sand before they removed their shorts.

Sally handed Jack the bottle of sunscreen, asking him to put some on her back. When Jack was finished with Sally, Tom spread the lotion on Kim. The girls put sunscreen on Tom and Jack before they stretched out in the sun.

After lying in the sun for about forty-five minutes, Tom decided to take a walk so he could take some pictures. Jack agreed to go with Tom, leaving the girls on the blanket.

"This is great," Tom said as he walked toward the ocean with Jack. "Beats the crap out of snow and cold weather."

"It sure does. The scenery is much better too." Jack used his head to draw Tom's attention to two girls walking in the sand.

Chuckling, Tom nodded his head. He waited until the girls were walking away from them before taking a couple of pictures of them from behind. Both of them were laughing as they made comments about the girls. They began walking along the shoreline, looking at the other people on the beach.

Kim sat up, shielding her eyes as she watched Tom and Jack walking in the surf. She giggled when she saw Tom taking pictures of girls.

"Do you know how lucky we are, Sally?" Kim asked, stretching her legs out in front of her while leaning back on her arms.

"What do you mean?"

"We have the greatest parents in the world and two hot guys for brothers. I'm kind of glad I broke up with Paul. I can get laid when I want and don't have to deal with all the crap."

Sally laughed. "I guess you're right, but having Brad choose another guy over me was a bit hard to take."

"Have you thought about finding another boyfriend, Sally?"

"I don't know, have you?"

Kim shrugged her shoulders. "I like the way things are—you know between Jack and me, but I think about other guys too. It's not like I can go on dates with my brother, not where people know us."

"Can I tell you something without you getting all pissed off at me?" Sally asked as she sat up, folding her legs under her bottom.

Kim nodded.

"I've been thinking about Jack lately—I've been thinking about him a lot. I'm just afraid you'll get mad at me if I..."

"I won't get mad at you. I know you like Jack."

"I love him, Kim. I mean, I've always loved him, but this is different. Lately, I've been having feelings about him."

Kim giggled. "Are you telling me you want to fuck my brother? You know I don't mind."

"No, I'm telling you I want to make love to him." Sally smiled. "I want to make love to him all the time—not just have sex."

"That's up to you and Jack. You know how I feel about my brother. I want him to be happy and do what he wants."

"I think Tom likes you, Kim. We've talked about this a few times."

"I love Tom, Sally—just like you love Jack. I could do a lot worse than Tom—I have in fact. I kind of thought something was going on when you got in bed with Jack last night." Kim sat up, putting her hand on Sally's arm. "I liked sleeping with Tom last night."

"What are we going to do?"

Kim shrugged her shoulders. "I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. It's not like we can think for our brothers. They might not want to change things—they might want to find new girlfriends."

Sally began to laugh. "Well, I don't think they're going to find girlfriends while we're down here for the next two weeks."

"Not if we can help it!" Kim joined in the laughter.

Stretching back out on their stomachs, Kim and Sally began to plan how to see if Jack and Tom were interested in making a few small changed to the current arrangement. While the girls had had sex with both of the boys, Sally wanted something a bit more permanent between her and Jack. Kim was torn between her brother and Tom, but also realized it would be easier for all of them if she and Tom were a couple. She had no intention of stopping her sexual activities with Jack, but she knew she would have to really limit them if Sally had her way.

Kim knew the relationships she and Sally were thinking about were still incest, but not as taboo as they could be—it was different if it were between cousins.

-------

Jack and Tom had walked down the beach for about a mile before they decided to turn around. They stood at the water's edge, feeling the ocean wash over their feet. Glancing toward the street, Jack saw two girls walking their way.

"Take a look at those two," Jack said, nudging Tom.

"Wow, they're hot! I wonder if they live here or they're visiting like we are."

"I would guess they're visitors. If they lived here, they would be in school—wouldn't they?"

Tom nodded. He put his camera to his eye, focusing on the two girls. Tom snapped a shot just as the girls waved at him.

"Busted! They caught me taking their picture," Tom said.

"They aren't running away, maybe they don't mind."

The two girls made their way to the ocean. They giggled as they glanced at Tom and Jack and walked into the water. While the girls tested the water, Jack and Tom stayed where they were.

"Hi, how's the water?" Tom asked.

"It's nice, this is the first time we've ever been in the ocean," one of the girls said.

"Are you guys here on vacation?" Jack asked.

"Yes, our parents brought us down," the other girl said as she moved closer to Jack and Tom. "My name is Angie, this is my friend Sabrina. We're from New York."

"I'm Jack, this is Tom. We're from Michigan."

The two girls grinned as they shared glances.

"Are you here with your parents too?" Angie asked.

"No, we came down with our sisters." Tom pointed up the beach. "They're over there."

The girls looked in the direction Tom pointed, but Kim and Sally were too far away to be seen.

"Where are your parents?" Jack asked.

"They're at the hotel. Over there," Sabrina pointed to a hotel across the road from the beach.

Jack and Tom talked with the girls for a few minutes. When the girls told then they were only thirteen, Tom's forehead furrowed.

"Well, it was nice meeting you two, but we have to go meet our sisters. Maybe we'll see you on the beach later this week," Tom said.

The four teens said goodbye. When Jack and Tom were out of earshot of the girls, they began to laugh.

"I can't believe those two are only thirteen. Did you see the tits on them?" Tom said.

"Yeah, I sure did. They're almost as big as Kim and Sally's boobs."

"They had nice asses too."

Tom and Jack chatted about the two young girls until they got close to Kim and Sally, but they were still chuckling.

"What's so funny?" Kim asked.

"Nothing, we were just laughing about a couple of girls we met on the beach," Tom said. "We talked to them until we learned they were only thirteen. When we found out, we split."

Sally giggled as she smacked Jack's leg. "We can't leave you two alone for a minute, can we?"

Laughing, Jack scooped Sally into his arms. He started toward the ocean, holding her with one hand under her back and the other under her bent knees. Sally began to squirm, but Jack was able to hold onto her.

"What are you doing?" Sally screamed as she kicked her feet and twisted in Jack's arms.

"I'm going to cool you off."

"Who said I was hot?"

Jack stopped at the edge of the surf. Leaning his head down, he kissed Sally. She gasped at the kiss and Jack slid his tongue into her mouth. Still in his arms, Sally circled Jack's neck with her arms. She returned the kiss, moaning into his mouth. With his mouth still locked to hers, Jack carried Sally out into the water. When the surf was hitting her butt, he let her legs drop, but held onto her upper body.

When Jack broke the kiss, he gazed into Sally's eyes. She giggled and said, "Now I'm hot! What was that for?"

"Because I wanted to."

Sally smiled, rubbing against Jack. "Do you want to do it again?"

Jack answered her question by moving one of his hands up her back to her head. He pushed their heads together, kissing her full on the mouth. Sally let her hands drop to Jack's butt, pulling them closer together. They kissed for a few moments before moving apart and diving into the cool water. When they came up, Sally closed the gap between them. After another kiss, they frolicked in the water for a few minutes.

Sally took Jack's hand in hers as they walked toward shore. Hand in hand, they went to the freshwater shower to rinse the salt off their bodies. When they returned to the blanket, Kim winked at Sally.

"Watch my camera for me," Tom said. "Kim and I are going for a swim."

"We are?" Kim said.

"Yes, you can walk or I can carry you—your choice."

Giggling, Kim stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm not walking!"

Laughing, Tom pulled Kim to her feet, he lifted her, putting her over his shoulder. Kim playfully hit Tom's back as he carried her toward the ocean. Her legs flailed in the air as Tom held her to his shoulder, his hand on her bottom.

When they reached the water, Tom walked out a ways. He turned Kim so she was cradled in his arms. Grinning, Tom dropped her into the water. Kim came up sputtering. She attacked Tom, trying to dunk him. After wrestling with each other for a few moments, Kim stopped struggling.

"Sally got kissed when Jack brought her out here."

Grinning, Tom took Kim in his arms. He placed his lips to hers, kissing her. When he began to move his mouth from hers, Kim grabbed the back of his head so he couldn't escape. The kiss heated and their mouths opened to accept the other's tongue. Tom reached into the water, cupping Kim's bottom in both hands. She jumped up, wrapping her legs around his waist and gripping his neck.

Kim wiggled against Tom, feeling his penis against her vulva. When she humped up and down, Tom moaned into her mouth.

"If you keep that up, I'm going to pull the bottom of your suit off," Tom said.

Kim giggled and said, "Promises, promises."

Laughing, Kim untangled her legs from around Tom's waist. She stood close to him, giving him another kiss. They went for a swim, pausing to hug and kiss every few minutes. Kim started toward shore with Tom right behind her. They rinsed off under one of the showers before retuning to the blanket.

The four of them stretched out on the blanket, letting the sun dry them.

"I've had enough sun for one day," Kim said. "I'm going back to the room."

"Sounds good to me," Tom said. "How about you guys, are you coming too?"

"Yeah, we're coming. I think Jack and I have had enough sun for one day too," Sally replied for both of them.

Jack thought about the fact Sally had answered for him, but realized he didn't mind.

Kim and Sally put their shorts on, packed up the blanket and towels. Jack grabbed the beach bag, carrying it with his left hand. He put his right arm around Sally, resting his hand on her waist. Tom and Kim held hands as they went to the skywalk and then to the hotel.

Once they were in the room, Kim took out her notebook computer. She set it up on the desk, plugging into the high-speed Internet connection the hotel provided.

"I think we should go over our notes," Kim said as the computer booted. "I want to make sure we cover everything while we're down here."

"Sounds like a good idea, Kim. Do you have a printed list of the things we've talked about so far?" Jack asked.

"No, I left it home. We could buy a printer. They don't cost very much, do they?"

"Not really. I guess we could use one when we're down here. Want Tom and me to go buy one?"

"Would you mind? Sally and I can work on the list while you guys are gone."

Tom and Jack got dressed. They left the room, telling the girls they would be back as soon as they could. On the way to the truck, Jack stopped at the front desk to find out where they could find a printer.

The desk clerk told Jack and Tom about a mall on Federal highway. She also said there were several stores in the same area. After getting the directions, Jack and Tom left.

"I think we need to talk, Jack."

"About what?"

"About Kim and Sally. I think something is going on between them."

"Don't you mean there's something going on between you and Kim?"

"Maybe, how about you and Sally? From the looks of things, something is going on there too."

"It would appear," Jack said. "Things could be worse."

"Things are changing again, Jack. I'm so confused about it all. A week ago, I thought Sally was the only girl I ever wanted to be with, but now I'm not sure. When Lisa and I split up, I wanted—no, I needed, someone to love me, someone to reassure me. Sally was there for me. She loved me and made love to me.

"Jack, Kim did the same thing for you. I know you love Kim just like I love my sister, but we both know we can't always be together like we want to. It's cool right now, but what about later—when we're older? How can we expect Kim and Sally to live happily while we keep our relationships secret? How can they expect us to do the same thing?"

"You're right, but what can we do about it? I guess we can find other girls and they can find other guys," Jack said.

"None of us want that, Jack, and you know it. Why are we beating around the bush about this? Why can't we just come out and say what I think we're both thinking—what I think the girls are thinking too?"

"Fear," Jack said softly as he pulled into the parking lot of the mall.

"Fear? What do we have to be afraid of?"

"Tom, I'm still not over Megan, not completely. I just can't stand the idea of being hurt like that again. I know Kim can't stop being my sister so I feel safe."

"Kim can stop screwing you."

"True, but that's not what my love for her is about, Tom. I would hope that's true about you and Sally too."

"You know it is! I care for Sally, and whether we have sex or not, has nothing to do with it. I wouldn't touch her again if she told me not to, but I would never stop loving her."

Jack chuckled as he parked the truck and turned it off. "Now all we have to do is convince our sisters. I don't know how Kim will react, not after the things we've talked about."

"Maybe we should just play it by ear and see what happens," Tom said.

"That's one hell of an idea."

Jack and Tom got out of the truck. They went into the mall, found a computer store and bought an inkjet printer. They also bought a package of paper and a set of spare ink cartridges. Once they were on the way back to the hotel, Jack thought about the things he and Tom had talked about as well as the way Sally had been acting toward him.

"We have the printer," Tom said as he carried the box into the room.

"We bought paper and spare ink cartridges too," Jack said as he placed the bag on the desk. "How are you two doing on the list?"

"I think we're all set. Set up the printer so we can all look at it," Kim said.

Jack and Tom set up the printer, connected it to the computer and printed a test page. Kim printed out two copies of the list so they could review it. Once the printer spit out the last page, they went out on the balcony. Sitting at the table, they began to go over the items on the list.

Sally got up to get a pencil so she could make a few changes to the list. They agreed on almost everything, working out the things they didn't agree on. By the time they had finished and Kim edited the list, it was dinnertime.

"Do you guys want room service again tonight?" Jack asked.

"No, you and Tom are taking us out tonight," Sally said. "Kim and I want to go someplace nice."

"Okay, how about the Rustic for Crab? That's a nice place," Jack said.

Sally opened one of the brochures she had found in the room. She pointed to an advertisement for a dinner cruise. "We want to on the Jungle Queen Riverboat," Sally said. "They have an 'all you can eat' barbeque rib and shrimp dinner. They even have their own island."

"It's five thirty. The boat leaves at seven so we have to get ready," Kim said.

"That's an hour and a half. Where is the boat docked?" Tom asked.

"Right here in the marina. We don't even have to drive," Kim replied.

Tom knew better than to say anything about the amount of time the girls required getting ready to go anywhere. He'd learned a long time ago that it just wasn't worth it. Instead, he just chuckled.

"Well then, you two better get going. We wouldn't want to be late now would we?"

Kim detected the sarcasm in Tom's voice. She stuck out her tongue and then giggled. "You want us to look nice, don't you?"

"You two always look nice. Get ready," Tom replied, grinning at her.

Kim and Sally went into the bathroom, leaving Jack and Tom in the room. While they waited, Jack read the brochure, telling Tom about the dinner cruise the girls had selected.

About forty minutes later, Kim and Sally came out of the bathroom. They were naked with their hair done and their makeup on. Tom went into the bathroom to shower while Jack watched the girls getting dressed.

Kim and Sally were dressed by the time Tom had finished in the bathroom. Jack went in while Tom put on a pair of slacks and a shirt. A few minutes later, Jack came out and also dressed.

The four teens went down to where the boat was docked. After purchasing tickets, they went aboard to find seats. Jack led the group to the bow area of the top deck. He and the others sat in the chairs, settling in for the ride.

At seven o'clock sharp, the horn blew and the boat began to pull away from the pier. The captain came on the paging system, welcoming the guests. As the riverboat made its way upstream, the captain pointed out several of the interesting sights.

Sally reached for Jack's hand, holding it in hers as the boat meandered up the river. When she did, a breeze caught her sundress, blowing it up. Giggling, Sally quickly pushed the dress back into place, clamping it between her legs.

"Oops," Sally said with a giggle.

"I didn't mind," Jack said.

"I don't care if you see, but I don't want to flash all these other people."

The boat docked at the island. A steward on the top deck asked everyone to wait until the lower decks had been emptied before getting off the boat. Once they were in the building, Kim, Sally, Jack and Tom were shown to a table.

The food was endless as well as delicious. Servers kept the platters on the tables full of tender barbeque ribs, chicken and shrimp. The meal also included salad, rice, potatoes, baked beans, and breadsticks.

Once everyone had their fill, the tables were cleared. A floorshow followed with singing, dancing and comic acts. When the show ended, the guests headed back to the boat for the ride back to the marina.

"That was great," Jack said. "I'm glad you guys suggested it."

"I'm so full I can hardly move," Tom said, rubbing his stomach.

"Maybe we should go for a walk when we get back so you can work it off," Kim said.

The boat headed back, traveling along the river under the moonlit sky. It was a bit cooler than it had been on the ride to the island. Sally hugged Jack's arm to her side, trying to fight off the chilly night air.

"We can go inside where it's warmer," Jack said.

"You can keep me warm," Sally whispered.

Nodding, Jack put his arm around Sally's shoulders. Glancing at Tom and Kim, he noticed they were cuddling together too. The four teens settled in for the ride, exchanging brief kisses and rubbing their hands over one another.

The boat docked at nine o'clock. Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally decided to go for a short walk before going to the room for the night. As they strolled down the street, handholding turned into walking with their arms around each other's waists. Kim and Tom walked ahead of Jack and Sally, their hips bumping against one another's.

Crossing the road, the four teens walked on the beach. It was chilly, but no one seemed to care. Kim and Sally removed their shoes, walking barefoot in the sand. The breeze coming in off the ocean, flirted with the girls' dresses.

As they walked, a gap grew between Kim and Tom and Jack and Sally. Sally began to slow her steps, keeping Jack at her side. Stopping, Sally turned to Jack. She put her arms around his neck, pulling him down into a soulful kiss. As they kissed, Jack moved his hands up and down Sally's back. When he moved one of his hands over her breast, Sally leaned against his hand, moaning in his open mouth.

About fifty feet from where Jack and Sally stood in one another's embrace, Tom and Kim sat on a picnic table. Like their siblings, they were engaged in tender kissing and gentle fondling. Kim felt her body warm as Tom stroked her thigh under her short dress. He teased her, avoiding any contact with her sex. In her frustration, Kim grabbed his arm, pushing his hand against her vulva.

Tom rubbed the gusset of Kim's panties while they darted their tongues in and out of each other's mouths. Kim's moaning increased, as did Tom's. After several minutes, they reluctantly parted.

"Let's go to the room, Kim." Tom said softly, kissing her ear as he spoke.

Kim nodded, slipping off the table to her feet. On their way back to the hotel, Tom and Kim told Sally and Jack they were going to the room. Jack and Sally stopped what they were doing, following them to the skywalk.

The walk back to the room was in silence. Kim hung on Tom's arm while Sally kept her arm around Jack's waist. When they entered the room, no one said a word. When they left for the evening, they had left the curtains to the balcony open. Moonlight bathed the room in a soft glow.

With the moonlight the only illumination the four of them milled around the room. Jack removed his shoes, kicking them out of the way. Kim left, going into the bathroom. Sally followed Kim, closing the door behind her.

While they waited for the two girls, Jack and Tom traded glances. Neither of them seemed willing to speak or had nothing to say. After a few minutes, Tom stretched out on the bed with his hands locked behind his head.

Jack sat on the edge of the bed he had shared with Sally the night before, his back to Tom. His thoughts were of what was to come and what seemed to be yet another change in the relationship he and the others shared.

The door to the bathroom opened, causing both Tom and Jack to jump. Kim and Sally came out, carrying their dresses in their hands. Wearing only their panties, the two girls put their dresses on hangers and their bras into a dresser drawer. Standing side-by-side, Kim and Sally looked at their brothers. Tom raised his head, his eyes locking with his sisters. Jack twisted so he could see Kim and his cousin Sally.

With their eyes locked with their brother's, Kim and Sally moved slowly toward the beds.

Chapter 2


"Come on, we have to get going," Eddie told his sister Jenny. "Kathy and Brad are waiting for us."

"I'm coming. Just keep your pants on," Jenny replied as she grabbed the duffle bag she'd packed. "Where are we going to eat tonight?"

"Is that all you think of? Food?"

"No, I think of other things. I'm hungry, that's all."

"Hungry or horny?" Eddie asked as he chuckled.

"Both, but I want to eat before I eat!"

"You're a nut. Let's go."

Eddie and Jenny stopped in the living room to tell their parents goodbye.

"Do you have everything you need?" Harry, Eddie and Jenny's dad, asked.

"Yeah, I guess so," Jenny replied.

"Are you sure you don't want me to meet you at the boat tomorrow morning so I can introduce you to Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally?"

"No, that won't be necessary, Dad," Eddie said. "We'll be fine."

"Okay. I really appreciate this. It's still not too late to change your minds if you don't want to take them fishing."

"We're going to take them," Jenny said. "I can put up with most anything for a day." Giggling, Jenny said, "After all, I've put up with Eddie for years."

"Who's put up with who?" Eddie said.

"It's whom, Eddie. Don't you know anything?"

"I know you can be a pain in the butt when you want to be." Eddie smacked Jenny playfully on her bottom.

"We're going." Jenny gave Eddie a dirty look, sticking her tongue out at her brother.

"Have fun, kids," Ellen said. "We'll see you tomorrow afternoon."

"Maybe, we might fish on Sunday too, Mom," Jenny said.

"Okay, call us and let us know what's going on."

Eddie and Jenny left the house. Jenny got into the front seat of the van after tossing the duffle bag into the back.

"I'm ready. Let's get over to Brad and Kathy's house," Jenny said as she fastened her seatbelt.

Eddie drove to Brad and Kathy's house, parking in the driveway and blowing the horn to let them know he and Jenny were there. While waiting for them to come out, Jenny moved to the seat behind her brother.

Brad tossed his duffle bag in the back of the van as he climbed in the side door. He gave Jenny a kiss before settling into his seat.

"Hi, Little-bit. Still love me?" Brad asked.

"More than ever. How are you doing?"

"Great! I'm really looking forward to tomorrow."

"I'm glad someone is." Jenny twisted in her seat so she was facing Brad. "I just want to get it over with."

Kathy kissed Eddie. She glanced back at Jenny and smiled at her. "You still ragging about having to take them fishing?"

"I know, I sound like a bitch. I don't know why it bothers me so much."

"You're just scared, that's all," Eddie said as he backed out of the driveway.

"I'm not scared—not of a bunch of rich kids. I just hope they aren't bratty."

"I've never seen you like this, Jenny. You've never been judgmental before." Brad put his hand on her knee. "You're going to ruin your day before it even starts."

Putting her hand on Brad's, Jenny rubbed the back of it. "Maybe you can make me feel better."

Brad grinned. "How would you propose I do that?"

"Well, you could screw my brains out."

"That won't be hard," Eddie said from the front seat.

"Shut up!" Jenny said, ruffling her brother's hair.

The four of them laughed. Kathy told Eddie he could do the same thing to her.

"Where are we going to eat tonight?" Eddie asked.

"I want ribs. Can we go to the Bone Yard tonight?" Jenny asked.

"Are you saying you want to gnaw on a bone?" Kathy said.

"Yeah, and I want ribs too."

Eddie drove to the restaurant. The four of them went inside to eat dinner before going to the boat to get it ready for the next morning. During dinner, they talked about what they planned to do and where they planned to fish.

"What do you think, Eddie, want to go out for sails tomorrow?" Brad asked.

"Might as well, we have the club tournament in two weeks and the practice wouldn't hurt."

"Are we going to use the kites?" Kathy asked.

"Maybe, it depends on the conditions. I'd like to use them," Eddie said. "We need a lot of practice using the kites. Remember last time? It took us an hour to untangle the mess we made when we got the things crossed."

"That was our fault, Kathy and I didn't realize there was a starboard and port kite. We won't make that mistake again, will we Kathy?" Jenny said. Turning to Brad, she asked, "Are we still going to the movies tonight?"

"I guess so, we do have the boat to get ready for tomorrow."

"We could go to a later show—after we get things ready. The boat doesn't really need too much," Eddie said.

"I have an idea, we could rent a movie and just watch it on the boat," Kathy offered.

"I want to go to the show, I like the big screen better than watching television. You and Eddie can stay if you want to, but Brad owes me a date."

"Why do I owe you a date?"

Jenny giggled. "You'll see."

After dinner, the teens went to the boat. They stowed their gear in the staterooms before gathering in the salon to decide what they needed to do to get the boat ready for their guests. Jenny and Kathy went to work, wiping down the flat surfaces and vacuuming, while Brad and Eddie went out to give the outside a quick rinse.

"We have a club meeting next Thursday," Eddie said as he pointed the spray from the hose at the foredeck.

"I know, we also have a tournament in two weeks," Brad replied while scrubbing the deck with a brush. "We should smoke the other boats. It's a youth tournament."

"Maybe, some of the other teams are getting pretty good, Brad. I wouldn't get too cocky."

"Yeah, but we're better. We do pretty good considering how long we've been fishing."

Eddie nodded. "What movie were you and Jenny planning to see tonight?"

"I don't know. I usually let her pick what she wants when we get to the theater."

"Don't you end up seeing some chick flick?"

Brad laughed, nodding his head. "Yes, but I don't care. It makes her happy. Besides, sometimes she picks a movie that I really like."

Eddie and Brad worked their way to the cockpit. Glancing into the cabin, they saw their sisters cleaning the salon.

Jenny knelt next to the coffee table, cleaning the smoked glass top. Kathy was putting the vacuum away, having just finished doing the carpet.

"Are you sure you wouldn't rather just stay here tonight? We could get comfortable and cuddle with Eddie and Brad," Kathy said, looking down at Jenny.

"You can stay if you want to. I want to go to the movies tonight."

"What are you going to see?"

Jenny shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know."

Eddie and Brad came into the cabin. They sat on the settee, watching the girls. Jenny walked over to Brad on her knees. Placing her hands on his knees, she looked up. "You better get ready to go. The movie starts in a little while."

"How about you, are you going to change?"

Jenny nodded as she pushed herself up, using Brad's legs for leverage. She reached for his hand, pulling him to his feet. After a quick kiss and hug, Jenny glanced at Kathy.

"Are you guys going to the movies too?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Kathy stood up. "What are you wearing tonight?"

Jenny giggled. Squeezing Brad she said, "I'm wearing a skirt. Who knows—I might find someone who wants to play with me."

"Sounds like a plan. We better go," Kathy said.

They went below to shower and change. Eddie and Kathy went into the head first, sharing the shower stall. While they showered, Jenny and Brad waited in the guest stateroom.

Jenny removed her clothing, went over to Brad and wrapped her arms around his neck. Standing on her toes, she gave him a kiss. She let go of him, reaching for the snap on his pants.

"Get naked," Jenny said. "I want to hold you."

"I may not be able to control myself if I do."

"Who wants you to control yourself?" Jenny giggled as she worked his pant down his legs. Dropping to her knees, she nuzzled his penis with her nose. "Mmmm, I love the feeling of your cock against my face."

Brad stumbled as he tried to kick his pants off his left foot. Jenny continued to rub her head and face against him as she helped Brad get the slacks off. Once she had removed his socks, she concentrated on his penis.

Jenny held his testicles in her palm, kissing them tenderly. Taking one in her mouth, she pushed it around with her tongue. Brad tangled his fingers in her hair, moaning as he rotated his hips. Gripping his penis, she rubbed the head over her face and then kissed it.

"Hey you two, get into the shower. We're going to be late," Kathy said as she stood in the doorway.

Jenny waved her hand over her head as she licked Brad's shaft from the base to the tip. She giggled as she stood up and turned around.

"Maybe you're right and we should stay here tonight," Jenny said.

"Bullshit! Get your butts in the shower!"

Brad and Jenny laughed as they pushed past Kathy on the way to the head. They showered quickly, but took enough time to fondle each other. Finished in the head, Brad and Jenny went to get dressed.

Jenny put on a short denim skirt with brass buttons up the front. After pulling a red tank top on, she was ready to go. She and Brad went to the salon, told Eddie and Kathy they were ready and the four of them left.

Brad held the back door of the van for Jenny, patting her bottom as she climbed in. When she was in her seat, she opened her legs, flashing her panties for Brad to see. Kathy saw Jenny and laughed. Like Jenny, Kathy had worn a skirt. Hers was short and pleated, with a four-inch band that rode on her hips. She wore a button down sleeveless top with the top two buttons left undone. Brad and Eddie both wore Dockers and tee shirts.

At the theater, Jenny and Kathy picked the movie. It was a romantic comedy, not what the guys would have chosen. After getting popcorn and sodas, they went to find seats. Kathy pointed at four empty seats along the wall near the back of the theater. Brad went in first, followed by Jenny, Kathy and then Eddie. Once they were settled in, Brad put his right arm around Jenny's shoulders.

Brad held the small bucket of popcorn on his lap so both he and Jenny could reach it. When the lights went down, and the movie began, Jenny purposely missed the container. She groped around, fondling Brad through the thin material of his Dockers, and then removed her hand. The next time she did it, Brad moved his hand to her breast.

Brad and Jenny took turns touching one another. The play wasn't obvious to anyone around them except Kathy who giggled as she glanced at her brother and friend. As the movie progressed, so did the fondling Brad and Jenny were enjoying. Brad removed his arm from Jenny's shoulders, moving so his hand was on her lap. He worked his index finger into an opening between two buttons of Jenny's skirt, moving his fingertip against her thigh.

Because Eddie was sitting in the aisle seat, he and Kathy couldn't be as bold as Brad and Jenny, but they found a way to have some fun too. With the popcorn container hiding her hand, Kathy stroked Eddie's penis through his pants. It extended down his pant leg as Kathy squeezed and rubbed him. Kathy kept glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention to what she was doing. She took Eddie's wrist in her other hand, placing his hand on her knee.

Eddie shifted in his seat, twisting his body toward Kathy. He moved his hand up her leg and under her skirt until his fingers were against the gusset of her panties. Eddie leaned closer, kissing Kathy on the cheek as he pressed against her sex.

A woman, with a small child in tow, walked up the aisle. All four of the teens quickly removed their hands from one another and chuckled as they watched the woman and small boy walk by. For the rest of the movie, they all curtailed their activities.

The movie ended and the four of them got up. They left the theater, went to the van and got in. Brad sat behind Eddie and Jenny plopped on his lap. She put her arms around his neck, pressing her mouth to his. While Eddie drove, Brad and Jenny kissed one another.

"Hey, that's not fair you two!" Kathy said, looking back at her brother and Jenny. "Eddie has to drive so we can't fool around."

Jenny giggled and glanced at Kathy. "You're just jealous." Jenny got off Brad's legs, moved to the other seat and fastened her seatbelt.

"Thanks for taking me to the movie, Brad. I had a good time tonight," Jenny said. "We don't go out enough."

"When do we have time? Between school and fishing, we're always busy."

"We just have to make time if we want to go out and do other things," Eddie said as he glanced in the mirror.

"I like it the way it is," Kathy said. "We get to do the things we really enjoy. I like fishing and being on the boat. Going out is okay once in a while, but other than the movies, what is there to do?"

"There are parties we get invited to," Jenny replied. "We could go to a few of them, couldn't we?"

"Some of them would be okay, but I don't want to go to the ones where there's drinking and drugs. Our parents let us do things that most of our friends can only dream of—I don't want to mess that up. Even though we don't drink or do drugs, if we were at a party where it was going on, we could get into trouble," Brad said.

"I have to go along with Brad. Losing our privileges isn't worth it, not to me. I heard one of those parties, I think it was at Lyle's house, was busted because of the noise. When the cops got there they arrested everyone because they found pot," Eddie said. "I think our parents would believe us if we told them we weren't doing anything, but why take the chance?"

"Why don't we have a party? We could have one and just invite kids we know don't do drugs," Kathy said, and then she giggled. "We just have to make sure we have it when Frank is down here so he can take care of anyone that messes up—like he did at Erin's party."

"I like that idea, Kathy. We could invite some of the kids from the club. Maybe we would even pick up a few new members if the kids from school talked to the kids from the club. I think we should plan a party," Jenny said. "I'm going to ask Mom and Dad if we can have it at our house."

Eddie parked in the lot at the marina. The four of them went to the boat and into the cabin. Jenny turned on the stereo before sitting on the settee next to Brad. Eddie asked if anyone wanted a soda. He took four cans from the refrigerator when everyone said they wanted one.

"So, when are we going to throw a party? I like the idea," Eddie said, glancing at Kathy while taking a seat next to her. "We could invite the kids from the club at the next meeting if we had a date."

"Next weekend is too soon and we have a tournament the following weekend. How about four weeks from tomorrow?" Kathy said. "Jenny and I could make invitations on the computer so we can hand them out."

Jenny got up to get her purse. She pulled her date book out and went back to the settee. Sitting with her legs crossed Indian style, she opened the book. "Do we want to have it on Friday night or Saturday?"

"I think Saturday would be better. We could start it in the afternoon and make it a pool party," Kathy said.

Eddie laughed and said, "We'll have to wear suits you know. I don't think we can swim the way we normally do."

Jenny gave her brother a look and then grinned at him. "Okay, we'll have it on Saturday. How about food? Should we have hotdogs and hamburgers or something else?"

"I think burgers and dogs will be great. Maybe we could ask some of the girls to bring a dish to pass too," Kathy said. "The guys can bring munchies."

Brad chuckled, put his hand on Jenny's leg and ran it up to her vulva. "I have my munchies."

"Yeah, but what about everyone else?" Jenny said, wiggling against his hand.

"They can bring their own, Little-bit."

Kathy giggled. She put her hand on Eddie's crotch and said, "I've got mine."

"Munch away, Baby!" Eddie said.

"Take it out if you want me to."

Eddie stood up, turned to face Kathy and lowered his zipper. He fished his penis out through his fly, waggling it at her. Kathy wrapped her hand around the shaft, leaned forward and kissed the tip. She took the head of his penis in her mouth, sucking it as her tongue swirled around the tip. Kathy pulled back and Eddie's penis came out of her mouth with a pop.

"Now put it away until later."

Laughing, Eddie tucked his member into his pants, zipping them up before he sat down. He put his arm around Kathy's shoulders, pulling her to him. "You're crazy, Baby."

"Maybe, but you still love me."

"You're right about that! I love you to death."

"Those two are so mushy," Jenny said as she rolled onto her back and put her head on Brad's leg. Looking up at him, she giggled.

"Like you're not?" Brad said. He put his hand on her cheek, stroking it with his fingertips.

"I can't help it—I fell in love with you, Sweetie."

Brad nodded. "I love you too."

Bending her knees, Jenny planted her feet on the cushion of the settee. When he skirt slipped down her legs, she made no effort to cover herself. "Okay, who are we going to invite to the party?"

"Well, Cindy, Kevin and Erin for sure," Kathy said.

Jenny began making the guest list while the others called off names of their friends and kids they wanted to invite. Along with kids from school, they listed members of the club's youth group. When they ran out of names, Jenny counted the names on the list.

"That's twenty three, not counting us," Jenny said. "I don't think everyone will be able to come though. We should plan on twenty five."

"We should go to bed. It's getting late and we have to be up early tomorrow," Brad said.

They all got off the settees. Jenny turned off the stereo while Eddie locked the door to the cockpit. Once everything was secure in the cabin, they went below to the staterooms. In the passageway, they told each other goodnight. Eddie and Kathy went into the guest stateroom while Brad and Jenny went into the master.

Kathy moved into Eddie's arms. They hugged for a moment before Eddie put his hand under her chin, tilting her head up so he could kiss her. Their mouths opened and their tongues darted in and out of each other's mouths. Eddie rubbed Kathy's back, moving them down to her butt. He pulled her skirt up so he could hold her panty-covered bottom. Kathy ground her pelvis against his as she moaned.

Reaching between them, Kathy unfastened Eddie's pants. She lowered the zipper, slid her hands inside and rubbed his hips. With their lips locked together, they slowly undressed each other. Eddie broke their kiss, pulling back so he could unbutton Kathy's top. He pushed it off her shoulders, letting it slip off her arms to the floor. Reaching behind her, Eddie unhooked her bra.

Eddie dropped the bra, leaned forward and began kissing Kathy's shoulder. He moved his lips across her warm skin, moving lower. Kathy held his head as Eddie kissed her breasts and the gap between the firm mounds. Sucking on one of her nipples, Eddie guided Kathy to the berth. Her legs hit the edge of the bed, causing her to sit on the mattress. Kneeling, Eddie removed her panties.

Kathy watched Eddie as he kissed the tops of her knees. His hands slid up her legs to her hips. He continued to kiss her legs, moving closer to her sex. Kathy opened her legs so he could cover her vulva with his mouth.

"Mmmm, that's so nice, Baby. Eat my pussy," Kathy moaned as his tongue stroked her labia.

Eddie moved his hands between her legs. Using his thumbs, he parted her labia and licked the length of her sex. Kathy wiggled her body, trying to increase the pleasure. After a few moments, Eddie stood up. He removed his boxers and climbed into bed.

They kissed for a few minutes, running their hands over each other's bodies. Eddie hovered over Kathy, gazing into her eyes. She put her hands on his face, stroking his cheeks. Kathy and Eddie smiled. He kissed her eyes, her nose and then her mouth. She rolled them onto their sides, moving her hand to his back.

Kathy squirmed against Eddie. She pushed him onto his back, covering his body with hers. Kissing her way down his chest, she knelt between his legs and began to stroke his penis. Kathy leaned forward. Opening her mouth she took his member in until it hit the back of her throat. She closed her lips around his shaft, moaning around his throbbing penis.

Eddie groaned when Kathy began to slowly move her mouth up and down the length of his penis. He began to lift his hips off the bed, pushing into her sucking mouth.

"Turn around so I can eat you while you suck my cock," Eddie said.

Keeping her mouth on his penis, Kathy turned around. She straddled his head, lowering her sex to his waiting tongue and mouth. Eddie gripped her hips, pulling her to him. The two of them kisses, licked and sucked one another, moaning in pleasure.

Kathy lifted her head, letting Eddie's penis slap against his stomach. She threw her head back, groaning out loud as her climax ripped through her. Rocking her hips, she rubbed her sex against Eddie's face. Eddie screwed his tongue into her, feeling her juices flow into his mouth. He moved his chin, rubbing it against her clitoris.

Clutching her breasts, Kathy began chanting, "Yes, yes, yes." She continued to grind herself into Eddie's face as her orgasm peeked. Kathy told Eddie she was coming as her body began to quiver. As her climax began to subside, Kathy fell forward. She rolled off Eddie, keeping her head on his thigh. Eddie gasped for breath once she had removed her sex from his head. In the final moments, Kathy had pushed down so hard she had cut off his breathing.

Eddie rolled onto his side, facing Kathy. She began fondling his erection, scooting closer so she could put it in her mouth. Kathy held him between her lips, rubbing the underside of his penis with her tongue. When he began to move his hips, Kathy put one arm over him and stroked his butt. She began to moan as his member slid in and out of her mouth, pulling him deeper on each thrust.

Looking down, Eddie watched his penis moving in and out of Kathy's sucking mouth. He put a hand on her hip, pushing on her back. As she rolled, so did he. Kathy kept his penis in her mouth as Eddie knelt above her. She wrapped her hand around his shaft to prevent him from going too deep in her throat.

Eddie moved above Kathy, watching his penis glide between her lips. After a few moments, he pulled back. Turning around, Eddie moved between her legs. He guided his penis into her vagina, rocking his hips until he was completely inside her. Supporting himself on his forearms, Eddie lowered his head so he could kiss Kathy. She pulled her legs back, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.

When Eddie began to slowly move, Kathy moaned into his mouth. They quickly developed a rhythm, as she moved up to meet his thrusts. It didn't take long for Eddie to reach the point of no return. He lifted his head, shoved his penis into Kathy and began to ejaculate. Kathy hooked her legs over him, pulling him to her. Eddie lowered his body to hers as his pulses diminished.

"I love you, Eddie," Kathy whispered as she stroked his sweaty back.

"I love you too."

Sated, they held one another until they drifted to sleep.

"Sounds like they're finished," Jenny said as she looked up at Brad from her kneeling position.

Brad nodded, smiling as Jenny took his penis back into her mouth. ""Mmmm, that's so good—how long are you going to tease me?"

Jenny and Brad had stripped when they got into the stateroom. She knelt on the deck and had been using her mouth, tongue and hands to bring him to the point he was going to cum, only to stop and let him cool down. Jenny loved teasing Brad, making him tell her when he couldn't take anymore.

Brad knew her game. He knew what she was doing and did everything in his power to last as long as he could. Most of the time, Jenny won and he begged for relief, but other times, he was able to hold off. Jenny had been teasing him while they listened to their siblings making love in the next cabin. She knew how to make him beg her to let him cum, but she hadn't played any of her little tricks yet. One of her favorites was to wet her finger and play with his anus.

Feeling Brad's legs begin to quiver again, Jenny pulled back. She nuzzled her nose against his scrotum, before getting up. Sitting on the bed, she pulled her legs up, splaying them.

"Your turn, Baby," Jenny said.

Brad looked down at her, smiled and said, "What if I don't want to?"

Moving one hand between her legs, Jenny began to rub herself. She gazed into Brad's eyes and grinned. "I've been sucking your cock for almost an hour and you won't eat my pussy? I guess I'll just have to do myself." Jenny parted her labia with two fingers, exposing the pink inner folds. Wetting the middle finger of her other hand in her mouth, she began to toy with her clit. Moving the finger lower, she slid it into her opening.

Brad knelt in front of Jenny, watching her finger herself. He began kissing the thigh of her right leg, moving up to where her hands were playing. "You have the most beautiful pussy in the world." He pushed her hands away, leaned closer and kissed her.

"Mmmm, I love that. I could just sit here and let you eat me for hours." Jenny pulled her labia open so Brad could get his tongue against sex. Rolling his tongue, he pushed it into her vagina as far as he could. His nose brushed against her clitoris, causing Jenny to moan.

Brad kissed and licked her for several minutes. He stood up, moved closer and pushed his penis into her opening. Jenny fell back on the bed as he began to move. She lifted her legs, resting her calves against his shoulders as he pumped his penis in and out of her vagina. When he pulled out, Jenny let out a groan.

"I guess two can play the same game," Jenny said, watching Brad get on the bed.

"Yup." Brad moved Jenny so her head was on the pillows. "You like it as much as I do."

"I know. I love you so much—please make love to me."

Brad moved between her spread legs. He lowered his head, kissing her breasts and the warm soft flesh around them. Jenny held his head in her hands, guiding him to her nipple. She moaned softly as he suckled first one, then the other stiff nub. When he put his penis back into her vagina, Jenny began thrashing beneath him. She wrapped her legs around his waist, digging her heels into his butt as she bounced up against him. Brad slid his arms under her, gripping her shoulders while increasing the speed of his hips.

They both moaned and grunted as their bodies slapped together. Jenny raked her fingertips across his back, begging for him to do it harder. Her wild movement and throaty groans sent Brad over the edge. He slammed into her, holding on as his penis sent several strong surges of semen into her vagina. When he was spent, Brad collapsed on top of Jenny. She listened to his ragged breathing while stroking his back.

Even though she hadn't reached an orgasm, Jenny wasn't disappointed. She relished the feeling of Brad's hot body against hers and the feeling of his semi erect penis in her vagina. She also knew he would be able to go again after a short rest.

"That was so good." Jenny sighed.

"I'm sorry—I couldn't hold out any longer."

"You don't have to be sorry, Baby."

"I didn't get you off though."

Jenny continued to rub his back. She kissed his neck while he lay on her body, catching his breath. While they cuddled together, Jenny realized she didn't mind that she hadn't had an orgasm. For the first time since she had started having sex, her partner's satisfaction was more important than her own pleasure. In the past, she had concentrated on reaching her climax, knowing her partner would get off. This time, she didn't even think about it while they made love.

Up until that point, it didn't really matter who was having sex with her; she loved it. Now, she thought, it was important it was Brad. Jenny wiggled against his heavy body as she tried to sort out her feelings. She wondered if she was reaching a point in her life where who it was was more important than what she did. She thought about her brother and Kathy. While they had enjoyed many wonderful hours together, she never felt like she did at that moment.

Jenny remembered talking with Brad about being monogamous unless it was one of their group flings. She also remembered neither of them could remain true to their word and they both ended up having sex with their siblings again. Now, as she lay with Brad, she wondered what she really wanted.

"Am I too heavy for you?" Brad asked.

"No, you're fine. I like feeling you like this." Jenny flexed her vaginal muscles. "I love being close to you, Brad."

"Hmm, I love being close to you too. We could switch. You could lay on me."

"In a minute maybe. I just want to stay like we are—forever." Jenny kissed his neck and then his shoulder.

"Brad, do you think about other girls?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know, do you think about having sex with other girls?"

Brad rolled off of her, propping his head on his hand. "No, why do you even ask?"

"How about Kathy, you have sex with her."

"Sometimes, but it's different with you, Little-bit."

"What about those girls that we're taking fishing tomorrow? They're rich—what if they're cute too? Will you want to go out with one of them?"

"Jenny, what's gotten into you? I've never met them and I've certainly never thought about them."

Brad sat up so he could look into Jenny's eyes. "Is that why you've been acting like you have? Do you think I'm going to want to go out with one of them?"

Jenny shrugged her shoulders.

Brad took her chin in his hand. He turned her head so she was facing him. "Jenny, how can you even think I'm that shallow? I don't care about their money or them! I love you and that's all there is to it. If you've been all twisted in knots because that's what you're thinking, you're nuts."

"Then why do you still have sex with Kathy?"

"We've talked about this, Jenny. If you remember, it's because you still do it with Eddie."

"Would you stop having sex with your sister if I stopped having sex with Eddie?"

"Jenny, if you asked me to, I would stop having sex with her even if you didn't stop with Eddie."

Jenny sprang up. She threw her arms around Brad, hugging him so tightly he had trouble breathing. "I'll stop having sex with Eddie if you want me to. I love you with all my heart."

"I don't want you to do something you don't want to do just because of me. I love you too much to ask you to do that."

"Maybe if you really loved me, you would ask!"

"I really love you, Jenny."

"Then it's settled. I'm not going to have sex with anyone except you—any guy anyway."

Brad chuckled. "Still have a thing for my sister?"

"I love you, but once in a while I get the urge to be with Kathy. It's a girl thing I guess."

"How about when we all get to fooling around."

"Okay, I'm not going to have sex with any other guys when you're not there—how's that?"

Brad laughed, leaned over and kissed Jenny hard on the mouth. She hugged him, kissing him back with the same enthusiasm. They wallowed together, kissing, fondling and muttering their love for one another. Brad rolled Jenny on her back, got between her legs and began to move. She squealed in delight as his penis bottomed out in her vagina.

"Brad."

"What baby?"

"Would you do something for me?"

"Anything."

"I want you to fuck me! I want you to fuck me like it was the first time and the last time."

"How about if I make love to you?"

"Later, I want my boyfriend to screw me right now. We can make love next time."

Brad moved, pumping his penis in and out of her a couple times before stopping again.

"Maybe I should take you out to the cockpit and bend you over the transom."

Jenny giggled, squirming out from under Brad. She got out of bed and walked to the door. Glancing over her shoulder, she said, "Well—are you coming?"

Brad began laughing. He jumped up, running behind Jenny as she charged up the steps to the cabin. She paused to unlock the door and then went outside. When Brad caught up with her, Jenny was leaning over the transom, wiggling her bottom.

"Come on, stud, get to it."

Brad gripped her hip with one hand as he used his other hand to guide his penis into her. Jenny let out a giggle when his hips hit hers.

"No messing around, I want to be fucked like you mean it!"

Brad pulled back and slammed into her. After repeating the move several times, he said, "Like this?"

"Yeah! Just like that. Give me that big cock. You can shove it into me anyplace you want to."

"In here?" Brad shoved into her, moving his hips from side to side.

"Yup!"

He reached around, putting his finger in her mouth. "In here?"

Jenny sucked his finger for a moment. "Yup, anytime you want to. I love to suck your cock."

"I think you just like to suck cock."

"I do, but I like sucking yours the best."

Brad moved his finger to her anus. He circled it a few times before applying pressure to the tight puckered opening. "Here?"

"Yup, you can fuck my ass if you want to. Just be gentle."

Brad removed his hand from her bottom. He didn't penetrate her, but he did think about it. Placing both hands on her sides, he moved them up and then cupped her hanging breasts. Gripping her breasts, Brad began to move. Jenny held onto the transom, shoving back against Brad's thrusting penis. She let out a groan when he moved one hand between her legs, rubbing her clit with his fingertip.

Their coupling was anything but loving, although they both loved what they were doing. Jenny closed her eyes; feeling jolts of pleasure rocket through her body as Brad played with her clitoris and breasts while moving his penis in her vagina.

Jenny's steady groaning turned into grunts, accented by "yes" each time Brad's hips slapped against her bottom. When she began to cum, Jenny let out a mournful cry. It started deep in her throat, rising until she was screaming out loud. Fortunately, there weren't any other boaters to hear her, not that she cared if any did.

Brad felt Jenny's vagina convulsing around his penis. Her vaginal walls gripped and released him, milking his shaft like a velvet hand. While her orgasm ripped though her, Brad held her with an arm around her waist. She quivered in his arms as she had one climax right after another. Jenny didn't even notice when Brad came, shooting semen into her vagina.

Jenny's body went limp in Brad's arm. He tried to support her, but her sweat slick body slid out of his grip. She knelt on the deck, holding one hand against her chest as she gasped for breath. Brad shifted, but Jenny hooked her arm around his leg. She hugged him, resting her head against his thigh. Once she caught her breath, she looked up.

Brad's semen covered penis hung near her face. Smiling, Jenny took it into her mouth, sucking it until her nose was against his trimmed pubic hair. She used her tongue and suction to clean it, releasing him a few moments later.

"Help me up, my legs are still wobbly," Jenny said with a grin as she reached her hand up to Brad.

Once she was on her feet, Jenny hugged Brad and kissed him tenderly. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"For making love to me like no one ever has before."

Brad got a strange look on his face. He raised his eyebrows as he stared into Jenny's eyes. She smiled, stretching up to kiss him.

"Sweetie, you may feel like we just fucked, but to me it was so much more. You didn't hold back, you gave me everything you had—or at least that's how I felt. I know it wasn't in a big bed with candles and soft music, but in my mind it was. There was nothing in the whole world except you and me."

Brad didn't know what to say to Jenny. He just held her against him, feeling her softness. Her breathing had returned to normal and she was calm.

"We should go to bed now, Baby. We have guests to entertain tomorrow morning," Jenny said. "Brad, I love you!"

"I love you too, Jenny. I may not understand you, but I do love you."

"There's nothing to understand. We love each other and that's all that matters. I just hope Eddie understands."

Brad gave Jenny another kiss. "I hope Kathy does too."

Brad and Jenny went back to their stateroom. They cuddled together, kissing and professing their love for one another. Before falling asleep, they made love again. This time it was tender and slow. Jenny didn't reach an orgasm, but the sated look on Brad when he rolled off of her was more satisfying than an orgasm could have ever been, at least at the moment.

Chapter 3


Tom woke up to the feeling of a hand moving up and down the shaft of his morning erection. When he let out a moan, he felt a warm wet mouth engulf him.

"Looks like someone is having an early breakfast," Sally said. "I think I want to have a snack too. Would you like to join me?"

Sally giggled as she flipped around. She straddled Jack's head, lowering herself as she leaned over to take his penis into her mouth. Jack swiped her vulva with his tongue, wincing slightly at the tangy flavor of the remnants from a night of passionate lovemaking. Sally moaned, taking him to the back of her throat.

"Hey, that's no fair, Sally's getting her pussy licked while she sucks Jack's cock."

"Well, turn around if you want me to lick yours," Tom said.

After a few moments for frolicking together, Sally sat up, removing her crotch from Jack's face. "Sorry, Honey, I have to pee," she said as she got out of bed.

Jack chuckled and said, "I'm glad you got up first."

"Come take a shower with me. We have to get ready to go anyway."

Jack bounded out of bed, following Sally into the bathroom. They took turns using the toilet before getting into the shower together. While they rubbed soap over each other's bodies and shampooed each other's hair, Tom and Kim came into the bathroom.

"Hurry up you guys, we have to get in there too," Kim said.

"Keep your pants on," Sally said.

"I don't have any pants on, silly. Hurry!"

Jack and Sally traded places with Kim and Tom. They dried off while their siblings showered together. After shaving, Jack went out to get dressed while Sally fixed her hair.

Standing in the bedroom, Jack glanced at the two messy beds. He took a pair of clean boxers out of a drawer, sitting on the bed to put them on. Sitting with his arms resting his knees, Jack thought about what had happened the night before.

Tom was in the bed next to him and the girls were walking toward them. At the last moment, Kim climbed into bed with Tom and Sally climbed in next to Jack. For the next hour or so, Jack and Sally made love while Tom and Kim did the same thing in the next bed.

While Jack was pulling his boxers up, Tom came into the room. He put on clean underwear and then sat across from Jack.

"Weird shit going on, isn't there?" Tom said.

"I guess! What the hell is going on?"

"From what Kim told me, she and Sally decided they want to change things. You know, the way things are between the four of us. Kim said she wants to be my girlfriend."

"How do you feel about that?"

"To be truthful, I think it's a good idea. I love Kim; she's a great girl. I love Sally too, but our relationship has been bothering me lately."

Jack nodded as he thought about what Tom was saying. While the relationship with his sister didn't bother him, Jack knew it wasn't something that could go on forever. He also had feelings for Sally and the prospect of being with her wasn't the least bit unpleasant.

Kim and Sally came out of the bathroom laughing. They went over to where Tom and Jack were sitting on the bed. Kim leaned over to kiss Tom while Sally plopped on Jack's lap. She put her arms around his neck, pulling him into a kiss. Sally wiggled her tongue into Jack's mouth as she squirmed on his legs.

Tom put his arms around Kim, pulling her to the bed. They both fell back and continued kissing each other. Tom rubbed Kim's stomach, moving his hand between her legs. He pressed his fingers against her, causing her to moan in his mouth.

Kim closed her legs as she pulled Tom's hand away from her sex. "Later, Honey, I don't want to be all wet." Kim kissed his nose. "You make me so wet when you touch me."

"You seem to have an effect on me too," Tom said while he adjusted his hard penis.

Kim giggled, wrapped her hand around his penis and stroked it through his boxers. "I'm going to have this thing for lunch today." She giggled again. "I already had it for breakfast."

Sally laughed at what Kim said. She kissed Jack's cheek and whispered in his ear. "Let Tom drive to the boatyard and I'll have your cock for dessert after breakfast."

Jack hugged Sally. He gave her a kiss and then said, "You and Kim are crazy!"

"I know, we're crazy about you two." Sally got off Jack, giggling as she went to the dresser and pulled out clean panties and a bra.

Kim also started getting dressed. Jack and Tom pulled on the slacks they'd worn the night before and clean shirts. Once they were all ready, the four teens left the room. They decided to find someplace other than the hotel to have breakfast. Jack told Tom to drive while he studied the map to Bowman's boatyard. Kim pointed out a small café and Tom pulled into the lot.

While they ate breakfast, they went over the list of questions they planned to ask. Jack and Tom talked about the mechanical items while the girls talked about how the yacht should be equipped with linens and dishes. After breakfast, they headed to the boatyard.

Jack and Sally sat next to each other in the back seat. Sally began fondling him as she kissed his ear and flicked at his earlobe with her tongue. She tugged Jack's zipper down, reached into his slacks and began playing with his penis.

Sally pulled his member out through his fly, leaned over and took him in her mouth. She began to bob her head, feeling his penis swelling in her mouth. Jack put his hand on the back of Sally's head, ran his fingers through her hair and then pulled her up.

"You don't have to do that," Jack whispered to her.

"I know, but I want to."

"I want you to. Later, okay?"

Sally nodded, took him in her hand and began to move her fist up and down. Jack shook his head as he chuckled and removed her hand. He put his penis back in his slacks, zipping them before putting his arm around Sally's shoulders.

"Are you always going to be like this?" Jack asked.

"Like what?" Sally grinned as she batted her eyelashes at him.

"Like you're being right now. All goofy and stuff."

"I'm not being goofy, unless you think getting a blowjob is goofy."

Jack shook his head. "What am I going to do with you?"

Leaning close, Sally said, "What ever you want to do with me. Baby, you're stuck with me."

"I don't feel like I'm stuck with you, not at all. In fact, I know I'm going to really enjoy this."

"Enjoy what? Being my boyfriend?"

"Is that what you want?"

Sally nodded. "Yes, more than anything. It's kind of funny, Kim and I were afraid to tell each other how we really felt because we were afraid we'd make each other mad. It turns out we both felt the same way about you and Tom."

Kim nodded her head, turning to look into the back seat. "Kind of dumb, isn't it?"

"What? The fact you like Tom and Sally likes me?" Jack replied.

"No, not that. We all know we love each other. It's funny how Sally and I were scared of telling each other how we really felt. We've always been able to talk about anything."

"Just when did you two decide this?" Tom asked.

"I don't know, for me it was when Lisa and Megan decided they were gay and wanted to be together," Kim said. "It really hurt me to see you two guys the way you were."

Tom looked in the review mirror. "How about you, Sally?"

"Ever since the night of the dance. Ever since Jack and I had sex the first time."

"Why didn't you say something before now?" Jack asked Sally.

Shrugging her shoulders, Sally said, "I don't know. I wanted to a bunch of times, but something always came up. You know, like Megan, Brad..."

Jack hugged Sally to his side. While he hadn't felt that way about her as long as she had for him, Jack did care for Sally. Kissing her cheek, he whispered, "I guess things work out the way they're supposed to."

"For the better I hope."

"Things couldn't be better, Sweetie."

Tom pulled into Bowman's boatyard, parking near the building. They got out of the suburban, straightened their clothes and walked toward the door. In the office, the woman they'd met before greeted them.

"Hi, Harry is expecting you," She said. "I'll call him and let him know you're here. I think he's on Tomiko with Jeri and April."

"We can walk over there," Kim said.

"If you'd like. I'll call Harry on the radio to let him know you guys are on the way."

"Thanks," Jack said as he opened the door.

Harry, Jeri, April and Jack Waters came out of the shed the yacht was in. They greeted the teens when they walked up. Harry introduced Jack Waters, chuckling when he introduced him to Jack.

After handshakes, the group went into the shed to walk through the yacht. Jeri walked with Harry as they showed the teens what had been done since the last time they were there. Tom took pictures while listening to Harry explain how things were going.

"We're waiting for Joanne Mitchell to come down before we start on the interior. I have talked to her several times and she has sent some information." Harry led the group down to the engine room. "We don't need to deal with the designer down here. The engines have been retuned and tested. Both generators are ready to go and so are the heating and air conditioning plants."

After touring the mechanical area, the group went up to the pilothouse. Jeri showed Jack and Tom the new electronics she had installed, explaining the benefits of the updated units.

"The yacht looks like it's a long way from being finished," Kim said.

"Yes, I know it does, but you'll be surprised how fast things will come together. Jeri and April have been here almost every day since you all went back up to Michigan. They are real task masters," Harry Shockley said with a chuckle.

"That's what we're being paid for," April said.

Harry and Jack Waters both laughed out loud. "You're certainly earning your money. Seriously, Jeri and April have been very helpful. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was their yacht," Harry said.

The group spent most of the morning on the yacht. Tom shot three rolls of film, recording almost every nook and cranny. Harry invited the group to the office for lunch and to go over the Gantt chart.

"What is a Gantt chart?" Sally asked.

"It's a chart that lists all of the tasks required to finish the project. We set goals and dates, and then measure our performance against it. The chart helps up stay on track and make sure we do things in order," Harry said.

Harry started the projector in the conference room. He displayed the Gantt chart on the screen and began explaining each task listed as well as the timeline involved in its completion. Kim asked Tom to get her notebook out of the Suburban so she could update the information.

The woman that worked in the front office came in the conference room and handed out menus for a deli. She took the orders from the group, telling them she would go get lunch.

Harry resumed his explanations of the chart. Jeri offered input on several different areas, telling the teens her ideas. Jack Waters talked about the woodwork. He told the group his goals for finishing the interior and went over some of the things he had changed.

"How can we help?" Jack asked.

"Well, owners normally don't get as involved as you guys seem to want to be," Harry said. "However, it is your yacht so you can be as involved as you want to be."

"Because you guys want to be hands-on owners, I would suggest you spend some time learning about every aspect of the yacht," Jeri said. "Tom and Jack can learn how to maintain the mechanical equipment. Kim and Sally can work with April to learn about how things will run once the yacht is delivered. I would also suggest you all switch and learn about everything to some degree."

Tom nodded his head. Looking at Harry, he said, "We wouldn't be in the way, would we?"

"No, not at all. I would only ask you listen to the engineer," Harry replied.

"Let the engineer know that we will take orders just like any of his workers," Sally said. "We want to learn, but we don't want to interfere."

Harry got up from the table, heading out of the room. He returned a few minutes later with Manuel, the engineer, with him.

"You remember Tom, Jack, Kim and Sally, don't you, Manuel?" Harry said.

"Yes, how are all of you?"

The teens told Manuel they were doing great.

"Manuel, the owners want to be involved in the completion as well as learn about the operations of Tomiko," Harry said, causing Manuel to raise an eyebrow.

"Yes, and we want you to treat us just like anyone else that's working on the yacht," Sally said. "We don't want to get in the way, but we do want to learn. You're the boss."

Manuel glanced at Harry, smiling when Harry nodded. "Sounds good to me. Jeri, April and I have developed a good working relationship. If it isn't too much to ask, would you please make any suggestions through them? If we get too many hands in the pot, we'll spoil the soup."

"No problem. Like Sally said, you're the boss. We'll run everything through Jeri and April if that's what you want," Jack said.

Harry asked Manuel to join them. Calling his secretary, he told her to get something for Manuel.

Lunch arrived, but the group continued to work while they ate. For the most part, Jack, Tom, Sally and Kim listened to what was going on, asking questions only when they didn't understand something.

"Do you have any idea when Joanne will be down?" Harry asked. "We need to work out a few things pretty soon if we're going to maintain our schedule."

Kim excused herself, took out her cell phone and made a call. She chatted with her dad, telling him how things were going so far. She told Don what Harry had said about Joanne, asking if he could find out when she would be in Florida.

"Mrs. Michelle will be here on Thursday. She is coming down with our parents," Kim said when she returned to the table.

"Thanks, Kim. That will really help," Harry said. "Now, Jeri mentioned a larger tender. Is that something you're considering?"

"If Jeri thinks we need one, we'll get it," Tom said.

"Okay, we'll need to decide fairly soon so we can make any modifications to the davits and the cradle," Manuel said.

"We'll tow the larger tender," Jeri said. "I'd like to carry the tender you have already."

"That will make it easy, but why not carry the larger tender? You can just sell the smaller one," Harry said.

"To be perfectly honest, I'd rather not carry a tender at all. They are hard to clean around and can be a pain to put them on and off. Most of the time the smaller tender will be fine, but if we have a large group that wants to go somewhere we can't dock, we'll need the larger one."

"Jeri, would you tow the large tender if we had guests that wanted to do some fishing or diving?" Kim asked.

"Yes, that's another reason to have two tenders," Jeri replied.

"Do you have something in mind?" Jack asked.

"No, not really. We have time to decide on another tender because we don't have to deal with davits or a cradle. We really don't need it until we have a charter that will require it."

"Okay, let us know when we have to start shopping, Jeri," Tom said. "I think we should look for something we can use in the ICW and canals around the house. It would be nice to have something to fish out of when we're down here."

Jeri nodded. Manuel asked if there was anything else needed from him, leaving when Harry said there wasn't. Kim pulled out the list of questions so the group could go over them.

As the questions were reviewed and answered, Kim entered the information into the spreadsheet she had developed. Harry offered to load a copy of the Gantt chart on her computer so the teens could keep up with the progress on the yacht.

It was four in the afternoon when the meeting wrapped up. Once they were outside, Kim asked Jeri and April to join them for dinner. They agreed on a restaurant and a time to meet. Jack, Tom, Sally and Kim said goodbye to Harry and Jack Waters, telling them they would see them on Monday morning.

"I hope you have fun fishing with our kids tomorrow," Harry said as they all walked to the Suburban.

"We're all looking forward to it, Mr. Shockley. I know we'll have a great time," Kim said.

"Do you have directions to the marina?"

"Yes, we have a map." Kim patted the side of her case.

"Great, the Lady Guinevere is in slip fifty-six. You won't have any trouble finding it."

The four teens got into the Suburban, waving as Tom pulled away.

"That was so interesting," Sally said. "I had no idea that there was so much involved in building a yacht."

Nodding, Jack said, "Neither did I. I'm really looking forward to being on the yacht next week and learning about the engines and stuff. I still can't get over how big they are."

"I want to work with Mrs. Mitchell and April on the decorating," Kim said. "Sally and I have been talking about it."

"Are we still planning on having Megan do the bookkeeping?" Jack asked.

"That's up to you, Sweetie. If you're okay with it, so am I," Sally said, reaching over and putting her hand on his knee.

"I don't have a problem with her of having her doing the books," Kim said. "How about you, Tom?"

"Fine by me."

Tom pulled into the hotel parking lot. The four of them went up to the room, Tom and Jack, flopping on the beds to relax before they had to get ready for dinner. Kim and Sally took off the slacks and tops they were wearing, hanging their clothes up before joining the guys on the beds.

"You guys are going to wrinkle your clothes if you don't take them off," Kim said as she tugged at Tom's belt.

"Awe, you just want to get into my pants." Tom chuckled as Kim unbuttoned his slacks.

"That's true, but not right now. I just don't want to have to do laundry."

"We're going to have to do some laundry, Kim. I don't think we brought enough clothing for the week," Sally said. She got up and went to the desk, picking up the list of services the hotel offered. "They have a laundry here. We can have the hotel do it for us."

"Cool. We just need to pick up some Woolite so we can do our undies," Kim said. "We can hand wash them in the bathroom."

Jack got up to take off his slacks and shirt after Sally asked him to. As he undressed, he chuckled, thinking about how she was acting. For some reason, it seemed like he and Sally had been together for a long time. Jack didn't mind her telling him what he should do; his sister had been doing it for quite a while.

They all relaxed, talking about the meeting and the yacht. Jack sat on the bed with his back against the headboard while Sally sat between his legs, leaning back against his chest. Tom was stretched out on his back with Kim resting her head on his stomach.

"From what I read on the chart, Tomiko should be ready to go in a couple months," Tom said. "I'm really getting excited about it."

"It would be cool if we could take her on her maiden voyage in May, wouldn't it?" Sally said. "We could take it up to Michigan for the summer."

Tom laughed. "Yeah, then all we'd have to do is put downriggers on her so we could fish for salmon. Jack, have you decided what you're going to do with your boat yet?"

"Not really. I haven't really thought about it. What do you think we should do with it?"

"Keeping it seems silly, doesn't it? Our dads have been talking about buying another boat for Michigan," Sally said. "Couldn't we rig that one for salmon fishing?"

"That's a good idea, Sally. After all, how many boats can we really use? If we get something like the Viking for Michigan we wouldn't need the Lucky Lady," Kim said.

"If we get a boat like the Viking, I'd want to bring it down to Florida in the winter. We can't really take the yacht out if we just want to go for a boat ride. Besides that, we wouldn't have anything if Tomiko was on a charter," Jack said.

Sally patted Jack's knee. "Come on, we need to take a shower and get ready for dinner, Honey."

"I don't need a shower, I took one this morning."

"Okay, but I'm going to take one. I feel grungy from being on the yacht." Sally wiggled against Jack's chest and giggled. "Are you sure you don't want to take one with me? I'll wash your back."

"If you want me to. I guess it wouldn't hurt."

Sally moved away, turned around and pinched her nose. "It wouldn't hurt you at all."

As she got off the bed, Jack reached out, smacking her bottom. Sally laughed, wiggling her butt at him. She and Jack went into the bathroom to shower while Kim and Tom waited on the bed.

Jack and Sally finished in the shower. She told her brother and Kim they could take their shower while she and Jack finished in the bathroom. Once they were all dressed, they left for dinner.

Jeri had recommended a restaurant close to the hotel. The teens checked with the front desk, deciding to walk when they found out it was only a couple blocks away. When they arrived, they found Jeri and April waiting for them.

"Hi, Jeri, hi, April. How are you guys tonight?" Kim said.

"Great, how about you guys? Are you settled in at the hotel?" Jeri asked.

"Yeah, it's a nice place," Sally said.

"They cater to yachts there. I have crewed on a few that stayed at that hotel," April said.

The hostess seated the group at a large round table. After ordering their beverages, they began to discuss the yacht.

"We were thinking we could take Tomiko up to Michigan as her maiden voyage," Tom said. "What do you think, Jeri?"

"That's fine with me. If everything goes well, we should take delivery sometime in May or the first of June."

"From what I saw today, the yacht should be finished by mid May," Sally said.

"Maybe, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. That chart represents a best-case scenario. Things tend to come up in the final stages."

"So, you don't think they'll have it finished when they say they will?" Kim asked.

"I don't know. That's a few months from now. There is still a lot of work to be done on her. Once we settle on the décor, things will speed up, but there are things that just take time. I would rather have it right than have to keep taking her back to the boatyard."

"I think you guys will have a better feel for it at the end of next week," April said. "I've never been involved with this stage of a yacht, but I've really learned a lot about it. It's the littlest details that take the extra time."

"Like what?" Tom asked.

April smiled. "Like the linen lockers. I didn't like the way they were finished so we had Mr. Waters redo them. The shelving wasn't right and would have snagged the sheets and towels. Jack had to have all the shelving removed and then replaced with the right materials."

"What were they made of?" Jack asked.

"Wood with a Formica covering. I had them replaced with powder coated wire shelves. They are much easier to keep clean and won't snag the things we'll stow in the lockers. I also had them make the shelves adjustable."

"The wire shelves are lighter too," Jeri said. "We have changed several things to reduce weight. A few pounds here and there start to add up. By the way, we had the electronics replaced in the pilothouse, but not on the flying bridge. I would recommend we make them match."

"That's fine with me, what do you guys think?" Jack said.

Kim, Sally and Tom agreed. "We're looking to you to tell us what we need to do," Sally said. "I think all of us want the yacht to be the best."

"How are we doing as far as money is concerned?" Tom asked.

"Okay for now. The letter of credit you gave Harry has been very helpful because we don't have to keep coming to you for funds." Jeri took a notebook out of her purse. "We still have three hundred forty six thousand, five hundred sixty five dollars and seventy eight cents left on the credit line."

"You've been keeping track?" Kim said.

"Yes, of every penny. I trust Bowman's, but I still want to know what's going on. When they say they need something, and give me the cost, I check it our to be sure we're getting a good deal. I make sure you're not being over charged. I also make sure the supplier is good. Getting it for less money isn't a bargain if you can't get it fixed."

The server interrupted the conversation when he came over to take the orders from the table. Once he was gone, they resumed.

"When are we going to start shopping for linens, towels and things like that?" Sally asked.

"In a month or so. We have to wait for the interior decorator before we can buy those things. I'm glad she's going to be down here next week," April said. "I didn't know your parents were coming down this trip."

"They are going to close on the house," Jack said. "You guys will probably be able to move in soon. A week or two, at the most, after the closing is what Dad said."

"Really? Wow, that's great news," Jeri said. "April and I are so ready to move. We already have a lot of our things packed. Not having to work charters has been wonderful. We have been able to spend our time on Tomiko and getting ready to move."

"Moving sucks," Sally said. "Tom and I are moving too. We're going to move into Jack and Kim's house. Our parents are selling our house in Michigan. I'm looking forward to living together, but not moving. Mom said she wants to see if you guys want some of the furniture from our house. It's brand new and we don't have room for it at our new house."

"That would be great. Our things are old. Most of the things we have we bought used. Wouldn't they use that furniture in the house down here though?" Jeri asked.

"No, Mrs. Mitchell is going to match the house to the yacht as far as décor goes. It's going to be contemporary Japanese from what they said. That may change though. I don't really know," Kim said.

"I can't wait to see what the decorator has in mind. I just hope she doesn't go overboard with it," April said.

"I do too. I think she is going to use decorations to accent the furniture. I don't think she is planning on using too much Japanese furniture. I wouldn't want to eat sitting on the floor or anything like that," Sally said. "I do think that silk sheets and stuff like that would be cool though."

"We're planning on supplying our guests with kimonos with the yacht's logo on them," Kim said.

"That would be a nice touch. Have you decided on a logo yet?" April asked.

"No, not yet. I want something different though. Sally and I will start looking when we get back to Michigan." Kim chuckled. "I don't think Jack and Tom really care too much about our logo."

"I do," Tom said. "I don't want something lame."

Jack nodded. "Neither do I. I want to make sure our logo doesn't look stupid."

The server came to the table with the meals. While the group ate, they began talking about chartering the yacht.

"Have you found a charter broker yet, Jeri?" Jack asked.

"No, not yet. I've requested information from a few of them, but until we can show them the yacht, it's going to be hard to decide on one. I'm hoping we can start interviewing brokers by the end of April or the first of May. Once we select one, we have to have brochures printed. The broker will take care of advertising in the travel publications, but we'll need something to send to the interested parties." Jeri took a bite of her food. "We can talk about that later. Right now we have to concentrate on completing the yacht."

"Have you guys given any thought to a crew?" Kim asked.

"April has been talking to some of the people she knows and so have I. We think we'll be able to crew Tomiko fairly easily." Jeri chuckled. "When we tell them about the owners, they call us liars. They can't believe we have such great bosses."

"They can't believe it when we tell they how old you are either," April added. "It's fun to watch the looks on their faces. I did talk to someone that's very interested in working on the yacht. He's a wonderful chef."

"Can he cook Japanese food? We want to be able to offer our guests a menu that goes along with the theme of the yacht," Sally said.

"Yes, in fact, he is Japanese. He works at a local Japanese restaurant right now, but he said he would be interested in working on the yacht. Maybe we can go to dinner there before you go back to Michigan," April said. "I would like you guys to meet Yoshiro."

"Okay, let us know when you want to go," Kim said.

"Does he know how to make regular food too?" Tom asked.

"Yes he does, Tom. He is very skilled as a chef. I think he studied in Europe after he left Japan. Yoshiro has been here for about six or seven years now. He likes his job, but he would rather be a head chef," April said.

"How many crew members do you think we need?" Jack asked.

"It will depend on the charter. We will have up to four besides Jeri, me and the chef."

"Will we have enough space for them?" Kim asked.

"Yes, if you remember, we changed the layout for the crew's quarters. I had Harry add two berths in the captain's quarters so we can sleep six. Jeri and I will sleep in the room in the pilothouse. That means we can accommodate up to eight crew members," Jeri said.

"We also added two more washing machines and another dryer to the laundry. On a yacht that size, one of each isn't enough. If we have a full charter, we'll have a lot of sheets and towels to wash everyday," April said. "We want our guests to have the best of everything so they'll tell their friends."

"I guess anyone that can afford to charter the yacht will have friends that can too," Jack said.

"That's the idea. If the guests on a charter have a good time, they will tell their friends. If they have a bad time, they will tell their friends that too. Recommendations from happy guests will get us more business than the broker will," Jeri said.

"Cool, then we won't have to pay the broker a commission," Sally said.

"Yes we will, Sally. If you do that to a broker, they'll stop trying to book your yacht. It's much better to have a happy broker than to try and save a few dollars." Jeri smiled as Sally nodded her head.

"Guess we have a lot to learn," Sally said.

"Don't worry about it. Are you guys still planning to act as crew on the charters?" April asked.

"I don't know, maybe," Jack said. "We haven't really talked about it lately. What do you and Jeri think?"

"It all depends on you guys. If you want to change beds, serve food, clean and cater to the guests, go for it. I just want you to know it isn't easy and it certainly isn't glamorous work. I would suggest you try it before making a decision." April glanced at Jeri and winked. "I think you'd have more fun taking trips when the yacht isn't booked. We wouldn't need a full crew then."

"One thing you'll all need are passports," Jeri said. "You may need them if we go to some of the Caribbean ports. Most of the islands only require a birth certificate, but there are places that require passports."

The group finished dinner and had dessert. They talked for another half hour before leaving the restaurant. The teens told Jeri and April they would see them on Monday morning and said goodbye.

"There is so much to know," Tom said as the four of them walked back to the hotel. "I had no idea."

Kim took Tom's hand, swinging their arms as they walked. Sally hugged Jack's arm and chattered about the things they had learned.

"What do you guys think about working on our yacht? Should we do it?" Sally asked.

"I think we should, at least enough to know what has to be done. Someday we may have to replace April and Jeri," Tom said. "I think the more we know, the better off we'll be."

The teens went to their room and changed their clothes. They decided to watch television for a little while before going to bed. Jack searched the channels until he found a program on the Travel Channel that looked interesting. He and Sally settled on their bed, sitting with their backs against the headboard. Sally scooted closer, took Jack's arm and put it around her shoulders. She rested her head against him, putting her arm around his middle.

Jack moved his hand along Sally's side, his fingertips brushing the side of her breast through her tee shirt. She looked up smiling and shifted so Jack's hand covered her mound. "I like it when you touch me. It feels so good."

Jack gave Sally's breast a gentle squeeze. She giggled, squirming closer to him. They cuddled together watching the program about log homes.

Kim didn't bother with a tee shirt. She climbed into bed next to Tom with only her panties on. Tom propped his head up with a couple of pillows and Kim rested her head on his chest. She made lazy circles around his navel, watching his stomach jump at her touch. Tom ran his fingers through Kim's hair as he watched her playing with the hair on his belly.

It seemed they were all talked out, choosing to remain silent as they rested. Sally moved her hand to Jack's leg, moving it up until she covered his genitals. She didn't move her hand; she just let it lay motionless. When Jack's penis flexed, Sally snickered and looked up at him. Jack lowered his head, kissed her tenderly and then went back to watching television. Sally nuzzled her nose against his chest, kissing him.

"We have to get up early tomorrow morning, don't we?" Kim said.

"Yes, we have to be at the boat at seven," Tom replied.

"I hope it's a nice day. I'd love to get some sun tomorrow. Hey, Sally, what are you planning to wear?"

"Jeans I guess. I think we should take shorts and tops along with our bikinis. I wonder what those kids are like."

"I don't know, but if they're like their dads, they'll be nice. The two guys looked cute in the pictures Mr. Shockley has on his walls."

Sally rolled over so she was facing Kim and Tom's bed. She slid down to the mattress, propping her head in her hand. "Yeah, but not as cute as these two." Reaching for the nightstand between the beds, Sally picked up the alarm clock so she could set it. "What time should we get up?"

"Set it for six. That will give us an hour to get ready and get to the marina," Jack said.

"I'll set it for five thirty, Kim and I need more time than you two."

"What for? We're just going fishing," Tom said.

"So, we still want to take showers and fix our hair," Kim said, squeezing Tom's penis gently. "You want us to look good, don't you?"

"You two would look good if you just got up and left," Tom said.

"What, like this?" Kim said.

"Yeah, just like that, Sweetie." Tom rubbed his hand up and down Kim's back.

"I don't think so. I'm not going to run around naked—not in front of strangers anyway."

"You didn't seem to mind running around like that when we were at the resort, there were strangers there."

"Everyone was naked you ninny!"

"We should offer naked charters," Sally said. "I'll bet we could book a few."

Jack tugged at Sally's tee shirt. "You should practice."

Giggling, Sally sat up. She pulled her tee shirt over her head, tossing it on the foot of the bed. She stood up, took Jack's hand and pulled him to his feet. "I want to go look at the ocean from the balcony."

Jack and Sally went out on the balcony. She stood in front of Jack, pulling his arms around her. Together, they stared across the street and beach at the ocean.

Resting his chin on the top of Sally's head, Jack moved his hands up to cover her breasts. She wiggled her butt against him as she pressed back. Jack kissed the top of her head and then her neck. Sally tilted her head, giving him access to her neck and ear. He nibbled on her earlobe for a moment before turning her around. Their lips met in a tender kiss and their tongues searched each other's mouths.

Sliding his hands down her back, Jack gripped Sally's butt. When he lifted her from the floor, she wrapped her legs around him. They were still kissing as Jack carried Sally into the room. He took Sally to their bed, lying her down on her back.

The room went dark as they held their loving embrace. Jack rolled off Sally and they got under the covers.

"Goodnight, you two," Jack said.

"Night all." Sally cuddled up to Jack. "You're not real tired—are you?" she whispered.

Tom and Kim said good night. Jack began running his hands over Sally's body. When he got to her panties, he tugged at them.

"Want me to take them off?"

Jack answered by scooting down and pulling her panties down her legs. Once they cleared Sally's feet, he kissed her thighs. When she opened her legs, he moved his mouth between them. He lingered for a moment, kissing and licking her sex, before kissing his way up. He paused at Sally's breasts, sucking each nipple. When their mouths met, she moaned into his.

Rolling him onto his back, Sally moved down to remove Jack's boxers. Before coming back up, she kissed and licked his penis. Sally worked her way up Jack's body, kissing him on the mouth when her head was even with his.

Sally wiggled down until she felt Jack's penis against her vulva. Reaching behind her, she positioned it at her entrance and then wiggled back until he was inside her vagina. Jack began to push up while Sally pushed down. When Jack was fully embedded in her, Sally stopped moving.

"Mmmm, I feel so nice and full when you're inside my pussy," Sally whispered in Jack's ear.

"You feel good to me too, Baby."

The sound of slapping flesh echoed through the room. Jack and Sally chuckled as they listened to the activities in the next bed.

"Sounds like someone is getting laid," Jack whispered.

"Yeah, let's make it two." Sally began to move. She lifted up until Jack's member was almost out of her, then she reversed her motion.

Jack and Sally made love slowly while Tom and Kim were very active and vocal. Even with the grunts and groans coming from the bed next to them, Jack and Sally became lost in their own passion.

When Kim reached her orgasm, she let out a yell. When Sally climaxed, she moaned in Jack's mouth. Jack came, pumping his semen into Sally while her vagina contracted around him. Once they were sated, Jack and Sally drifted asleep with her still on top of him.

"That was good, Honey," Kim said as she snuggled next to Tom. "I love it when you fuck me like that."

Tom chuckled. "Good night, Kim. I love you, Baby."

"Mmmm, I love you too, Tom. I have a feeling things are going to work out great for us, all four of us."

"Me too."

Kim and Tom spooned together. Kim lay against Tom's back, her arm over his side. She rubbed his stomach as they fell asleep.

Chapter 4


"Eddie, I'm going to make some coffee. I don't know if they drink it, but we should have some ready in case they do," Kathy said as she kissed Eddie's cheek. "After I make the coffee, we can get ready."

"Okay, Honey. I'll get up too."

Eddie and Kathy got out of bed. Neither of them dressed, leaving the stateroom buck-naked. Kathy went up to the galley to make coffee while Eddie used the head. He was adjusting the water in the shower when Kathy joined him.

"I knocked on Jenny and Brad's door. They're getting up," Kathy said as she got into the shower with Eddie. "Are you ready for our big day?"

"We're just going fishing, nothing special. We've taken strangers out before. I don't see what the big deal is."

"These kids aren't your normal teenagers, Honey, they're rich."

"Most of the people we take out are rich—at least their parents are. I think you and Jenny are blowing this way out of proportion."

"None of the kids we've taken out bought a yacht from your dad."

"So, what's that got to do with anything? Dad's business is his, it has nothing to do with us."

Kathy turned her back to Eddie so he could wash her back. "I guess you're right. I think Jenny has got me all worried about it."

Eddie rubbed the soap over Kathy's back. She leaned her head back, turning so she could kiss him.

"Hurry up you guys, Brad and I have to shower too," Jenny said, as she stuck her head in the shower. "Quit fooling around!"

"I was just kissing him while he washed my back. We'll be finished in a couple of minutes."

Eddie and Kathy finished in the shower. They got out to dry off, leaving the water running for Brad and Jenny. While they were trading places, Jenny grinned at Kathy.

"I didn't mean to rush you. I'm just a little nervous—sorry."

"No problem. I'll start breakfast so it's ready when they get here. Eddie can help me. What are you wearing today?"

"Jeans and a tank top."

"Okay, that's what I was going to wear too."

Jenny closed the shower door. She and Brad began shampooing one another's hair and washing each other's bodies. Eddie and Kathy left the head, going to their room to get dressed. Kathy put her bra around her, fastening the clasp in front before twisting it around. Eddie covered her breasts with his hands, preventing her from pulling the cups over them. She slipped her arms into the straps and stood still, waiting for Eddie to remove his hands.

"Um, it's hard to put this thing on when you're doing that."

"So, don't wear a bra today. I like to watch your boobs jiggle when you don't."

Kathy giggled. "Sorry, but not today."

Eddie gave her breasts a gentle squeeze. He released her, watching as Kathy covered her breasts with the lacy bra. Once she had it adjusted, Kathy put on a pair of matching panties. Eddie also dressed, putting on a pair of blue jeans and a button-down short sleeve shirt. When they were dressed, Eddie and Kathy made the bed and straightened the stateroom.

"What are you making for breakfast?" Eddie asked. He followed Kathy into the galley, putting his arms around her waist.

"I was thinking we'd make French toast and bacon."

"Okay, what do you want me to do?"

"If you'll start the bacon, I'll take care of the French toast."

Kathy and Eddie began preparing breakfast. Jenny and Brad came up to the galley and Jenny offered to take over what Eddie was doing.

"You and Brad go get the rods ready. Kathy and I will make breakfast."

-------

"Hurry up, we're going to be late," Jack said.

"We'll be ready in a minute, Sally and I have to finish packing first."

Tom laughed. "We're only going for the day you know."

Kim looked up from the bag she was putting clothing in. "Sure, and when you ask for a pair of shorts later and I tell you I didn't pack them because I was rushed, you'll be mad at me."

"Okay, just hurry."

Sally and Kim finished packing their things. Sally gave the bag to Jack and then put on a hooded sweatshirt. After zipping it up, Sally said she was ready to go. Tom and Jack grabbed jackets. Kim put on a sweatshirt like the one Sally was wearing and they all left.

On the way to the marina, Jack pulled into a donut shop. Tom ran in, coming back with a bag in his hand.

"I got a few different kinds of donuts and some bagels. Do you think that will be enough?"

"It should be. Mr. Shockley said we didn't need to bring anything except our clothes," Kim said.

Tom sat in the front seat with Jack, telling him when and where to turn as he read the directions. The trip only took a few minutes. Jack pulled into the parking lot of the marina, found a place to park and then shut off the Suburban.

"Wow, look at the boats they have in here," Jack said. "Grab the food, camera and clothes so we can go find the Lady Guinevere."

The four teens walked down one of the finger piers, looking for the slip number the boat was supposed to be in. When Tom spotted the Lady Guinevere, he pointed at it.

They walked up to the boat, watching Brad and Eddie working on the rods. Jack stepped up to the starboard side, looking down into the cockpit.

"Hi. I'm Jack Graham. This is my sister Kim and our cousins, Tom and Sally Lewis."

Eddie and Brad put the rods in holders. Eddie moved over to where they stood on the pier and said, "Hi. I'm Eddie Shockley. That's Brad Waters, welcome aboard."

Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally stepped into the cockpit. After shaking hands, Eddie led them into the cabin. They followed Eddie through the cabin to the galley.

Pointing, Eddie said, "Kathy, Jenny, these are our guests. Jack and Kim Graham and Tom and Sally Lewis." Eddie turned to the group. "Did I get it right?"

"Yes," Sally said. "Hi, Jenny, hi Kathy."

Jenny and Kathy came around the counter and shook hands with the teens. Everyone went silent as they stood and glanced at each other.

"This is a great looking boat," Kim said.

"Thanks," Jenny replied. "Kathy and I are fixing breakfast. I hope French toast and bacon is okay."

"We brought donuts and bagels, if anyone wants any. French toast and bacon sounds a lot better to me. What can we do to help?" Sally said as she gave the duffle bag and Tom's camera bag to Jack. "Why don't you find a place to put this? Kim and I are going to help Kathy and Jenny fix breakfast."

Jack looked at Sally, raising an eyebrow.

"Please."

Jack chuckled. "Where can I put this?" he asked Eddie.

Brad took the bag from Jack. "I'll take it below for you, Jack."

"Thanks, Brad. Don't mind Sally, she can be a little bossy."

It seemed like the ice had been cracked, if not broken. Everyone laughed as Sally stuck her tongue out at Jack. Kim and Sally took off their sweatshirts, tossing them to Tom.

"What do you want us to do?" Kim asked.

"We really have it under control," Jenny said, her voice showing a bit of surprise.

"Where are the dishes, we can set the table," Sally said.

"You're our guests, you don't have to do anything," Kathy told the girls.

"Thanks, but we want to help," Kim said. "Now, where are the dishes?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Kathy pointed to a cabinet. Kim and Sally took out plates, set them around the table and then asked where they could find the silverware. Kathy and Jenny went back to the stove and began cooking the French toast.

"We usually have orange juice with breakfast, the glasses are up there, the juice is in the refrigerator," Jenny said, smiling sincerely, for the first time since Kim and Sally arrived.

"How has your trip been so far?" Jenny asked.

"Okay, we really haven't had much time to do anything yet. We went to the beach and on the riverboat," Kathy said. "Yesterday was busy with meetings."

"How was that riverboat dinner thing? I've never been on it," Jenny said.

"It was really cool. They take you to an island, feed you and then bring you back. We had a great time and the food was great," Kim told her. "I'd do it again someday."

"Want to check out the fishing tackle?" Eddie asked Jack and Tom.

"Sure, I'd love to," Jack replied.

"Breakfast will be ready in about ten minutes," Jenny said as the guys left for the cockpit.

"We're planning on fishing for sailfish today," Brad said. "We'll be using live bait and teasers."

"Jack and I went out a few times, but we don't really know a lot about saltwater fishing. We fish for salmon in the Great Lakes. Salmon, walleye and perch." Tom took the rod Eddie handed him, looking it over carefully. "This is the drag?"

"Yes, it's a lever drag. These reels are two-speed. That little lever changes the speed," Eddie said. "The drag is adjusted by moving the other lever."

"Do you guys catch your own bait?" Jack asked.

"No, we buy it. We have a cast-net, but it's kind of hard to get this boat into where the baitfish are and throw the net from her. We could probably do it if we were better with the net though." Eddie took the rod back when Jack handed it to him. "Buying bait is much easier."

"I hear the salmon fishing is good on Lake Michigan. Is that where you go?" Brad asked.

"Yes, we have a boat we trailer across the state to fish. We have also fished in Lake Huron. It's pretty good, but not as good as Lake Michigan," Tom said.

"What kind of boat do you have?" Brad asked.

"It's a twenty-seven foot sport fisherman with a hardtop," Jack replied. He glanced around the cockpit. "Nothing like this."

Kim stuck her head out the cabin door. "Come in and have breakfast, you can play later." Giggling, Kim went back inside.

The four guys went into the cabin. They washed their hands and then sat at the table. Kim and Jenny brought the platters to the table, placing them in the center. Once everyone was seated, they began to eat.

"This is really good," Tom said. "The French toast tastes different than I'm used to."

"I put a little vanilla extract and a touch of real maple syrup in the eggs," Kathy said. "I don't use milk though."

"It really makes it tasty," Tom said. "Would you please pass the plate?"

"Where are we going today?" Jack asked.

"On the ocean, where do you think?" Sally said with a chuckle.

"You're in rare form today, Sally. What's up with you?" Jack said.

"I intend to have fun—that's what's up. What's the matter, can't you take a joke?"

Jack laughed, turning to face Eddie and Brad. "Do we have time to pick up a couple of cement blocks and a piece of line?"

Everyone cracked up, laughing out loud. "I keep those things in the engine room, you never know when you're going to need to get rid of a yappy girl."

"You're a dork, Eddie! We're not yappy girls," Jenny said.

"I didn't say you were. I just said you never know when you might have to get rid of a yappy girl."

The group finished their breakfast. Jenny and Kathy got up, telling Sally and Kim to follow them. The four girls went below so Jenny could show them the staterooms. When they came up, Jenny stopped at the table.

"We're going to get going."

"Okay, we'll be out in a few minutes," Eddie said.

Kim and Sally grabbed their sweatshirts. They followed Jenny and Kathy out to the cockpit and up to the flying bridge. Jenny turned on the electronics, ran the blowers, and then fired up the engines. While the engines warmed, Jenny pulled up their route on the chart plotter.

"We get to do the dishes," Brad said. "When the girls cook, we clean. When we cook, they clean up."

"Sounds fair, Tom and I will wash and dry so you guys can put the dishes and stuff away. We don't know where it goes."

Jack and Tom went to the sink. Eddie told them where the dish soap and towels were kept. Brad began carrying the dishes to the sink while Tom washed. Jack dried them, giving them to Eddie to put away. While they worked, the boat began to move.

Kim and Sally had helped with the lines while Jenny sat at the helm. Once the boat was out of the slip, the three girls went up to the flying bridge.

"Mind if I sit here?" Kim asked, pointing to the mate's chair.

"Not at all. Have you ever driven a boat?" Jenny asked.

"I've driven my brother's boat—well, mostly just steered it. I haven't really learned how to do much more. My brother and Tom have had a little practice. They got to drive the boat we had when we were down here in December."

"What kind of boat is it?"

"A Viking. It was really nice—like your boat," Kim said.

"Thanks, we really like this boat," Jenny said. "By the way, I really like your jeans too."

Kim stuck her leg out. "Sally and I got them at Target. They were on sale for seven bucks."

Jenny was a bit surprised by the fact Kim and Sally shopped at a discount store for their clothes. She had bought things from Target as well as other stores like that, but she didn't understand why someone with so much money would shop there. The more they talked, the less intimidated Jenny felt.

"Does anyone want something to drink? I'm going down for a soda," Kathy said.

Jenny and Kim said they didn't want anything, but Sally told Kathy she would like a diet coke. When Kathy got up, so did Sally. They went down to the cabin, stopping to see what the guys were up to.

"Did you and Tom get to see the staterooms?" Kathy asked Jack. "Isn't this a great boat?"

"It's beautiful. I really like the way it's laid out. What's my sister doing?"

"Kim is talking with Jenny. We came down for sodas."

"Okay, we'll be up in a few minutes, I want to see the flying bridge while we're underway."

Sally winked at Jack as she walked past him. While they didn't talk about it before arriving at the boat, Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally hadn't said anything about their relationships. It wasn't they were ashamed; they just didn't know how strangers would react.

It was hard for Jack to conceal his feelings for Sally. She looked so cute dressed in her tight jeans and sweatshirt he wanted to take her in his arms and hug her. While they made love the night before, Jack fell deeper in love with Sally. It was the first time he'd had sex since the breakup that he didn't think of Megan at least once.

"Do you guys want something?" Kathy asked.

"No thanks, I have a cup of coffee," Jack replied.

"I'd like a glass of orange juice, please," Tom said.

Eddie and Brad asked for sodas. The girls got the drinks for the guys. They gave them the drinks on their way back to the flying bridge. When Eddie said, "Nice ass," Jack and Tom jerked their heads toward him.

"I meant Kathy's ass," Eddie said. "She's my girlfriend."

Jack and Tom glanced at each other and then began to chuckle.

"Does that mean Sally doesn't have a nice ass?" Jack asked.

"No, she does—damn, when am I going to learn to keep my mouth shut," Eddie said.

Jack and Tom's chuckling turned to laughter. Brad and Eddie joined in when they realized they were just goofing around.

"You know, this is kind of weird. All of us are brothers and sisters," Brad said.

"Want to hear something even weirder? Tom and I are cousins too," Jack said.

"No kidding, that is weird," Eddie said. "Want to finish getting the gear ready? Jenny should be getting close to the guy we buy our bait from."

The four guys went out to the cockpit. Eddie ran up the steps to see how long it would be before they got to the boat where they would buy bait. He came back down and told Brad, Tom and Jack it would be a few minutes.

"Where are we going to fish today?" Tom asked.

"Up near Boca Rotan. There's a reef there where we hope to find sailfish today," Eddie said.

"Cool, I caught a sailfish once, but it wasn't very big," Jack said. "We caught dolphin and wahoo too."

"The dolphin and wahoo are great eating, but the sails and marlin are more fun to catch," Brad said.

They finished rigging the rods, setting up four teaser rods and two for live baits. Once the rods were in the holders, they went up to the flying bridge. Before he went up, Tom went into the cabin to get his camera.

"Hey, look over here," Tom said, pointing his camera at the group on the flying bridge. "Sally, you and Kathy have to get closer."

Tom took a few shots, lowered his camera and then sat on a bench next to Kim. He moved his leg against hers; glancing at the others to make sure they weren't watching.

"There's the man we get our bait from," Jenny said, pointing at a small boat anchored near the edge of the channel. "I'm going to need someone to go down and tie us to his boat."

"Come with me, Tom, we can take care of it," Brad said.

Brad threw a line to the man in the boat. Once they were along side, they bought some of the small baitfish. Tom gave the man money, telling Brad he wanted to pay for the bait. Once the live well was half full of baitfish, Brad pulled the line back and Jenny headed away. Tom and Brad returned to the flying bridge to enjoy the ride.

Jenny headed through the inlet into the ocean. Once she cleared the choppy water, she sped up, bringing the boat up on plane. Jenny set the autopilot and sat back. She checked the plot charter to make sure they were on course before turning to face Kim and the others.

"ETA is about thirty minutes," Jenny said. "Are you guys ready to fish?"

"No, we still have to rig the live baits. We'll go down and get started," Eddie said.

Eddie, Brad, Tom and Jack left the girls on the flying bridge and went to the cockpit to rig live baits. Eddie showed Tom and Jack how to do it and they helped. Once they had a dozen of the small fish wired to large hooks, they finished getting the teaser rods ready to go. When they finished, they relaxed against the bulkhead, watching the ocean behind them.

Jenny slowed the boat, made a turn and started on the track she would follow while trolling for sailfish. Kathy called down to the guys, telling them they could drop the teasers.

Brad and Tom took the port side while Eddie and Jack set up the starboard rods. Tom and Jack were shown how to lower the outriggers and place the lines in the releases. Once the lines were out and the teasers were dancing just under the surface, they stood at the transom to watch.

On the flying bridge, Kathy moved to the rail to watch for a fish to rise. Sally joined her, asking what to look for.

"We watch for shadows, Sally. When a fish comes up and starts following one of the teasers, the guys will send a live bait out. They will try to get the fish to switch its attention from the teaser to the bait."

Kathy kept her eyes scanning the water, watching for activity. Sally also watched, even though she really didn't know what she was looking for. A half hour later, she found out.

"Look, there's a fish," Kathy said pointing at the water. "See the dark shape underwater?"

Sally strained to see what Kathy was pointing at. When she finally saw it, she let out a screech. "I see it! It looks huge!"

"Brad, there's a fish following the starboard teaser," Kathy yelled down to the guys.

Eddie grabbed one of the rods they had prepared. He handed it to Jack, telling him what to do.

"Okay, lower the bait to the water and start letting line out. Listen for Kathy, she'll tell you what to do."

Jack did as he was told while Eddie grabbed the rod with the teaser the fish was following. Kathy yelled out instructions as the bait fell back even with the plastic lure. Jack held the rod, controlling the line with his thumb on the reel.

"He switched," Kathy yelled. "Get ready to set the hook."

"Flip the lever to stop free spooling, Jack. When Kathy tells you the fish took the bait, set the hook," Eddie said as he reeled the teaser in. "When the fish runs, let it go. Feather the reel with your thumb, but not too much. Let the drag do most of the work."

Jack waited, anticipating the strike. He pointed the rod tip toward the water so he would have some leverage to set the hook.

"Start reeling Jack," Kathy shouted to him. After a moment, she yelled, "He ate it!"

Jack pulled back on the rod, reeling in the slack line. When he felt the resistance of the fish, he pumped the rod several times. The fish made its first run, stripping line off the screaming reel.

"Keep the rod up," Eddie said. "Get ready to start reeling. When the fish stops running, crank like mad."

The fish slowed and Jack began to regain some of the line it had taken. After making a few surges, the fish made another long run. Jack battled the fish for twenty minutes before he began to gain on it.

"He's coming up!" Kathy yelled.

"Make sure he doesn't get too much slack," Eddie said. "You don't want it to throw the hook."

The fish came out of the water, shaking its head as it danced on its tail. Jack watched, starting to reel when Eddie reminded him to. He cranked on the reel as the fish made a couple more jumps.

Kim had moved to the rail, standing next to Sally so she could watch her brother battle the fish. Brad got the harness out, fastening it around Jack's waist. He clipped the straps to the reel so Jack could get some leverage.

"Use your legs and back," Brad said. "Just remember the fish weighs a lot more than the strength of the line."

It took forty minutes for Jack to bring the fish to the back of the boat. Tom had grabbed his camera and was snapping pictures of the fish and Jack. Brad put on gloves, leaned over the transom and grabbed the fish by its long bill. While Brad held it, Eddie tagged the fish. He managed to remove the hook from the fish's mouth with a long tool.

Tom pulled the fish to the starboard side, holding it in the water to revive it. When he felt it was ready, Tom released it.

"That was a nice sail, Jack. I'd say eighty pounds or more," Eddie said.

"I feel like I've had a workout. That was great!" Jack replied as he removed the harness. "I caught a sailfish before, but it wasn't nearly that big and it didn't fight that hard."

"Our turn," Kathy said from the flying bridge. "You guys come up here so we can catch the next one."

Eddie reset the teaser before he and the other guys went up to the flying bridge. When he passed Jenny, she told her brother how deep the water was when the fish came up.

Sally stopped Jack on the steps to the flying bridge. She put her hand on his forearm and smiled at him.

"Having fun, Sweetie?" Sally said softly.

"I'm having a blast. How about you?"

"I'm having a good time. I like these guys."

Jack wanted to hug Sally and give her a kiss, but he didn't. He touched her hand as she pulled it from his arm, smiling at her. Sally winked at him and then went to the cockpit.

When Jack got to the top of the steps, he noticed Brad had been watching him and Sally. Brad smiled at Jack, turned around and went to sit down. Tom sat next to Eddie, watching him run the boat with his back to the helm.

"Sometimes, when we get a big fish on, we have to chase it. It's easier to do when you can see what's going on," Eddie said when Tom asked why he was standing like he was.

"Is it hard to learn to control the boat when you're standing backwards?" Tom asked.

"It takes some getting used to, but it isn't bad."

Brad and Jack stood facing the stern, watching the teasers swim through the water. Brad told Jack what to watch for, just as Kathy had told Sally earlier. The two of them looked at the blue ocean, letting it mesmerize them.

"You did a nice job on that fish," Brad said.

"It was a lot of fun, much more fun than catching the salmon we fish for up north."

"Wait until you tie into a good sized marlin, they fight ever harder. Sometimes, it takes over an hour to get one tagged and released."

"Jeri told us not many people keep the bill fish. I'd love to have a mount of one someday."

"That's no problem, you just take pictures, measure the fish and have a replica made. They look real and don't kill the fish."

Jack glanced down at Sally and his sister. They were leaning against the port gunwale, talking to the other two girls.

"How long have you and Jenny been together?" Jack turned to look at Brad.

"I don't know, a while now. It seems like we've been together a long time. Kathy and Eddie have been a couple as long as we have. We all get along great."

Brad pointed at the water. "Look, there's a fish following a teaser."

Jack saw the fish. He leaned over the rail, telling the girls about it. Jenny looked up and asked, "Where?"

"Port rigger," Brad said. "It's about fifty yards back, but is gaining on it."

Kathy took one of the baited rods. She held it up, asking, "Who's first?"

Sally reached for the rod, taking it from Kathy. Jack watched Kathy as she told Sally what to do. He smiled when Sally lowered the bait into the water, knowing what was going to happen if the fish took the offering.

Brad shouted out the fish's position while Jenny reeled in the teaser. Kathy put the harness on Sally, telling her what to expect. The fish took the bait and the fight was on. Sally pulled back on the rod, setting the hook,

Jack's chest swelled as he watched Sally battle the fish. She followed Kathy and Jenny's instructions, keeping the rod tip high and reeling against the running fish. Tom came to the rail, camera in hand, and began taking pictures of his sister.

Twenty minutes later, Sally brought the fish to the boat. Jenny grabbed the leader with a gloved hand, guiding the sailfish into tagging range. Tom had gone down to the cockpit to take some close-ups of the action. After the fish was tagged and released, Jenny reset the teaser.

Sally bounced around, shrieking out her joy. She hugged the other three girls, one at time as she quivered with excitement. Giggling, Sally charged up the steps to the flying bridge. She threw her arms around Jack's neck; hugging him so tight he almost stumbled.

"Did you see me? Did you watch me catch that fish?"

"Yeah, I saw you. You did great!" Jack put his hands on her shoulders, pushing Sally away, but she maintained her vice-like grip. In her excitement, she put her mouth to Jack's, kissing him.

Jack's body stiffened, but he soon gave into her kiss. He put his arm around her waist, hugging Sally to him. His love for her overcame any reluctance to hide the way he felt. When they finally broke their embrace, Jack and Sally stared into one another's eyes.

"Oops," Sally said and then she giggled. She stretched up, kissed Jack again. "Oh well!"

Blushing, Sally went down to the cockpit. Brad began chuckling and shaking his head.

"Kissin-cousins?" Brad said with a smirk.

Jack nodded, feeling his face warm as he blushed.

"That's cool, she's cute." Brad didn't seem to be shocked by the display.

Even though it was the guys turn in the cockpit, Brad let the girls take the next fish. It had come up while he and Jack were still standing at the rail, watching the girls.

Kim took the rod and caught the fish. It was small so the fight didn't last very long. Nonetheless, Kim was as excited as she could be. She hugged Sally and then Tom.

The girls went up to the flying bridge and the guys came down. They trolled for an hour and a half, but didn't raise another fish. The sun was shining brightly, warming the teens. They had all removed their jackets and sweatshirts.

"Looks like the fish shut down," Eddie said. "We can take a break, get some lunch and try again later if you want to."

"What ever you say," Jack replied. "Just being out here is great."

"We'll pull the lines and head in so we can anchor," Eddie said. "It's way too deep here."

Tom and Jack helped reel in the teasers and stand the outriggers up, locking them into position. Once everything was in order, Brad went up to tell Kathy to head in. The boat sped up as she pointed it toward shore. When she was in eight feet of water, Kathy slowed the boat. It coasted to a stop and she lowered the anchor. Kathy slowly backed against the anchor, letting it dig into the sandy bottom.

Eddie began getting the deckchairs out while Kathy shut down the engines. Tom helped, opening the folding chairs and placing them around the cockpit. Jack asked what he could do. Brad told him everything was all set so they both sat down.

"Off your butts, boys, you're making lunch," Jenny said as she came down to the cockpit. "We made breakfast."

The four guys went into the cabin. Tom and Jack followed Eddie and Brad to the galley, asking them what they could do.

"I hope you guys like hotdogs, that's what's on the menu today. You can get the plates and chips out of the cabinet," Eddie said. "Brad, why don't you go see what the girls want to drink?"

Brad chuckled. "Why don't I just take them sodas?"

"Kim and Sally like diet if you have it," Tom said.

"So do Jenny and Kathy. I'm going to take four cans out to them. If someone doesn't want one, I can always bring it back." Brad took four cans of diet Coke from the refrigerator and headed outside.

"Jack, there's canned pork and beans in that cabinet. The pan's under here," Eddie pointed at the two cabinets. "Why don't you heat up a couple of cans while I boil the dogs."

Jack did as he was asked, finding the beans and pans where Eddie told him they were. When everything was ready, Tom asked if they were going to take the food out to the girls.

"No, they can come in and fix their own plates," Brad said. "I'll let them know things are ready."

The girls came into the cabin, fixed their plates and went back out to the cockpit. The guys fixed their lunch, going out to join the girls. While they ate their lunch, they recapped the morning's fishing.

"Do you think we'll catch more fish today? Tom hasn't caught one yet," Kim said.

"We're going to try. It's really calm today, it's better if the water is a little rougher," Jenny replied. "Are you guys having a good time?"

"I'm having a great time!" Sally said. "I never met anyone that was famous before."

"Who's famous?" Kathy asked.

"You guys are. We heard about how you win the tournaments and get your names in the newspapers," Sally said.

Jenny, Kathy, Brad and Eddie chuckled. "We're not famous," Eddie said.

Jenny was a bit shocked at the statement. She had worked herself into a tizzy, worrying about meeting the teens and now they were praising her and the rest of the group about getting their names in the local paper.

They finished their lunches. The guys had all gone back for seconds, but the girls didn't. Jenny got up and began to gather the dirty dishes. The rest of the girls got up to help, taking the dishes into the cabin to wash them.

After washing the dishes and cleaning up the galley, Kathy said, "I'm going to change. It's getting too warm for jeans."

All of the girls decided to put on something cooler. They went below to change their clothing. When they got to the staterooms, Jenny told Kim and Sally their bag was on the bed in the master stateroom.

"You can change in the head or the other stateroom if you want to," Jenny said.

Sally gripped the hem of her tee shirt, pulling it over her head. "We're not really shy."

When Sally removed her bra, Kathy noticed her breasts were as tan as the rest of her upper body.

Giggling, Kathy said, "I guess not. Where did you get to tan topless?"

"We spent a few weeks down here at Christmas time. Our families spent a week at a clothing optional resort and then we stayed at a mansion. None of us spent much time dressed," Kim said.

Jenny and Kathy grinned. "Your family would love my mom, she thinks women should be able to go topfree just like guys can," Jenny said.

"I agree, we should," Sally said. "It's so unfair."

While they chatted, the girls changed into their swimsuits. They put shorts on over their bikini bottoms, but wore the tops without a shirt.

"Wasn't it weird getting naked in front of your brothers and dads at first?" Kathy asked.

"Yeah, especially my dad," Kim said. "It didn't take long to get used to it though."

"Kim and Jack's house has a built in pool. It has a glass room around it so we can use it all year long," Sally said. "Our families hardly ever wear bathing suits when we go swimming."

"We go skinny dipping in our pool too," Jenny said. "Ours isn't covered, but our backyard is very private."

The girls went out to the cockpit to sit in the sun with the guys. When they saw the girls, the guys all grinned.

"So, where do you guys go to school?" Kathy asked.

"We used to go to a private school, but when our brothers got kicked out for fighting, Kim and I decided we didn't want to go there anymore. We went to public school before that. Now we're home schooled by a friend of the family," Sally said.

"Fighting?" Brad said.

"Yeah, Kim and I met these two guys and were dating them. They turned out to be real assholes—one of the guys tried to rape Kim. They came to our school and started calling us names so Jack and Tom kicked the crap out of them. The school has a zero tolerance policy so our brothers got kicked out," Sally told them.

"Now we're studying to get our GED. This is going to be our last year at school," Jack said.

"You guys are going to quit school?" Jenny asked.

The four teens nodded.

"That's dumb!" Jenny said.

"Why? We don't really need our high school diplomas," Tom said.

"Maybe, but school is the first important thing we do. It would seem to me that if you quit school just because you don't need to graduate, you might find it easy to quit something else, something more important, just because you can," Jenny said.

"Besides that, school is fun," Kathy said. "You get to do things with your friends. You can go to parties and dances too."

"It may be fun for you guys, but it isn't that much fun for us. We didn't really have many friends at our last school and now we're home schooled so we don't get to meet anyone. Kim and Sally used to date the two guys we school with, Tom dated their sister," Jack said.

"Why did you break up with them?" Brad asked.

"This may sound really strange, but my old girlfriend is dating Tom's. Sally's ex boyfriend is gay and I guess Kim and Paul just decided to be friends. All in all, it was kind of weird," Jack said as he chuckled.

"Why don't you guys tell your parents you want to go to another school?" Eddie said. He took a deep breath and added, "I mean you're rich, aren't you?"

"Our parents are, not us," Tom said.

"How about the yacht? Our dad has told us about it and we've seen it," Jenny said.

"The yacht is a business," Jack said. "It isn't like this boat, we can't just take it out when we want to. We have a captain and will have a crew so we can charter it. We have to make money doing it at some point. Our dads are using it for tax purposes, but not forever."

"We also heard your parents bought a mansion in West Palm Beach," Kathy said.

"Yes, they did. We will probably live down here in the winters and in Michigan during the summers," Tom said.

"Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you're all crazy to quit school. You could go to school down here if you wanted to," Jenny said.

"It would be the same as going to school in Michigan, we wouldn't know anyone," Sally said.

"You'd know us. We can introduce you to other kids, kids we hang around with," Kathy offered. "We have a great group of friends. No one drinks or does drugs so we don't get into trouble. You might even like our fishing club. We have a youth division."

"Jeri, our captain, told us you guys are responsible for youth groups at several clubs," Tom said.

"We just want to make sure our sport has a future. We figure that if kids are fishing with their parents, or at least adults, they won't get into as much trouble," Eddie said. "I guess some clubs have followed our club in forming youth divisions."

"Is it hard running a charter business?" Brad asked.

"We don't know yet. We're just getting started. I think we'll do okay because we're going to depend on people that know the business to guide us. None of us thinks we know how to do it on our own," Kim said. "We have an accountant, a lawyer, a captain and a steward so far. We're going to depend on them to help us."

"Jeri told us we had to be twenty-one to get a captain's license so we can charter Tomiko," Jack said. "That's three and a half years for Tom and me. Until then, we have to have a licensed captain to run the yacht. I plan on learning how to operate it though."

"We all do," Tom said. "We're going to know her inside and out. The girls are going to learn how to take care of the guests. Jack and I are going to learn how to maintain the yacht and we're all going to learn how to operate it."

"That's smart," Jenny said. "We can do almost everything on our boat. Brad and Eddie know about the engines and stuff, but Kathy and I are learning. We're going to help change the oil and filters next time."

"Do you guys ever get to take trips on this boat?" Sally asked.

"Sure, all the time. We travel to tournaments and stay on the boat," Kathy replied. "It's a blast!"

"Your parents don't say anything?" Sally giggled, along with Kathy and Jenny.

"No, they don't. I mean they know we sleep together, but they don't try to make us stop or anything. What can they really do?" Jenny said and then she winked at Brad.

"Not much. Our parents are cool about things like that too. They said they would rather not make us sneak around or lie," Kim told her newfound friends.

"That's funny. Our parents are the same way. My mom wasn't always like that, but something happened and she really changed," Kathy said. "She's really cool now."

"I think Mom's getting laid regularly now; I know that makes me happy," Brad said.

"Bradley, don't be a pig!" Kathy said.

"Well, it's true."

"That may be true, but you don't have to say it." Kathy began to giggle, causing the rest of them to laugh.

"Are we ready to catch some more fish?" Eddie said.

"You bet! Let's go," Jack replied as he jumped up. "What can I do to help get ready?"

"Just sit and relax. The girls are driving, we're fishing," Eddie said. "We need to see if we can get Tom a fish this afternoon."

Jenny, Kathy, Kim and Sally went up to the flying bridge. Placing her hand on Kim's shoulder, Jenny said, "You can drive."

"I don't know how," Kim said.

"It's easy, just listen to me and I'll help you."

Jenny moved Kim to the helm, telling her to take a seat. Kathy and Sally sat down on the bench seat to watch Kim. Jenny told Kim about the blowers and sequence for starting the engines. Kim was nervous at first, but when the engines roared to life, she relaxed a little.

"When the temperature reaches this point, we can go," Jenny said while pointing at the gauges.

Kim asked about the chart plotter. Jenny showed her how to turn it, as well as the other electronics on. When the engines were warmed, Jenny said the boat was ready to go.

"This switch raises and lowers the anchor. Push it up until the anchor is seated in the bracket. If the anchor has dug in too deep, you may have to use the boat to dislodge it."

Kim pushed the switch up like Jenny told her to. Standing, Kim watched for the anchor to come up out of the water. Once it was secure in the bracket, Jenny told Kim how to put the boat in gear.

"Take it easy until we get turned around, Kim. Once we're going the right way, we can speed up. Try not to over-steer and don't speed up too fast."

Kim gripped the chrome wheel so tight her knuckles began to turn white. Jenny giggled, telling her to relax. Once the boat was pointed out to sea, Jenny told Kim to push the throttles forward.

"Someone is learning to drive the boat," Brad said pointing at the zigzag of the boat's wake. "Whoever it is is over-steering. It takes a little getting used to."

"Must be Sally or Kim," Tom said and then he laughed. "That sounded pretty stupid, didn't it?"

"Just a little. Who else would it be?" Jack replied. "Unless there's someone up there with them."

The guys laughed, making jokes. The wake behind the boat straitened out as Kim got the hang of steering.

"This isn't bad," Kim said. "It's fun."

"You can set the auto pilot if you want to, Kim," Jenny told her.

"I'd rather steer if it's okay."

Jenny leaned closer to Kim. "Brad said Jack and Sally are going together. Are you and Tom?"

Kim grinned as she nodded her head.

"That's cool."

"Please don't tell anyone. It's not really legal you know."

"It is here in Florida. First cousins can even get married if they want to."

"Really? How do you know?"

"I've done some research on the subject."

"Is Brad your cousin?"

Jenny laughed. "No, Brad and I aren't related to one another. I was doing the research for another reason."

Kim nodded her head, turning her attention back to steering the boat. She asked a few questions about the different gauges and other things on the helm. Jenny told her what each of them was used for.

Pointing at the chart plotter, Kim said, "We're almost there, aren't we?"

"Yes, you can start slowing down in a few minutes. When we get to where we're going, turn the boat north."

Kim remembered learning about the compass on Jack's boat. She also knew north was to her left. When Jenny told her to, Kim backed off the throttles and started her turn. When the boat slowed to trolling speed, the guys started to set the lines.

After an hour of trolling, Eddie decided to fly one of the kites. Jack and Tom watched as Brad and Eddie unfolded the kite, attached it to the special rod and prepared it for fishing. Brad took out another teaser rod, attached it to the kite's line and free-spooled the reel while Eddie let the kite out behind the boat. Once it was where he wanted it, Eddie set the rod in a holder. Tom reeled in the slack on the rod, placing it into a holder near the kite rod.

"The kite causes the teaser to bounce on the surface. Sometimes it will attract fish when the other teasers aren't working," Eddie said to Jack and Tom. "We haven't really used this method very often, but we want to get better so we can use the kites when we fish tournaments."

Thirty minutes later, Kathy shouted down to tell the guys a fish was charging the teaser on the kite line. Brad gave Tom one of the rods with live bait rigged on it, telling him what to do.

The sailfish fought hard, making a series of spectacular leaps and long runs. Tom fought with the fish, gaining line only to have the fish take it back. On the flying bridge, Jenny took over at the helm so she could maneuver the boat closer to the fish.

It took Tom forty-five minutes to tire the fish and get it to the stern. Eddie coached Jack, telling him how to handle the leader and guide the sailfish to the starboard side of the boat. Once Brad had tagged the fish, Jack removed the hook. He held the fish in the water, letting the water revitalize it before releasing it.

"That was the biggest one today, so far," Eddie said. "You guys are pretty good at this for new comers."

"It's a lot like salmon fishing. If you horse them, they'll break off too. I have to admit this is much more fun though. Not only catching the bigger fish, but also being on the ocean. Being with you guys is also great. Thanks for taking us," Jack said.

"No problem, we'll have to do this again while you guys are down here," Eddie said.

"We'll take you up on that, Eddie. We'll be down here a lot while our yacht is being finished, and during the winters."

"That's cool, we'll have to get together. Maybe if you guys are here when we have one of our fishing club meetings, you can come with us."

"Sure, I'd really like that, Eddie. Should we change places with the girls so they can take a turn fishing?"

"Yeah, I'll go tell them," Eddie said as he headed to the steps.

"You guys are up," Eddie told the girls.

"Okay, take the helm and we'll go down," Kathy said. She got up, went to Eddie and gave him a quick kiss.

The girls went to the cockpit while the guys went up to the flying bridge. After checking the lines, the four girls moved the deckchairs against the bulkhead and sat down.

"I think I'm going to take my shorts off so I can get a better tan," Kim said as she stood up. She unfastened her shorts, pulled down the zipper and then removed them. After fixing the bottoms of her bikini, she sat back down. "I wish I had brought another suit, this one covers way too much."

Jenny laughed and then said, "You can take it off if you want to."

"Do you and Kathy ever fish when you're naked?"

"Yeah, sometimes. We do it so the guys will let us take an extra turn. Boys are so easy when you want to get your own way." Jenny giggled and got up to take her shorts off.

Sally and Kathy decided to remove their shorts too. The girls relaxed in the deckchairs, stretching their legs out in front of them.

"This is the life," Sally said as she wiggled her toes. "I could really get used to this."

"We really like it," Kathy said. "It's cool doing it with our boyfriends too."

"Listen," Jenny said, "we're going out again tomorrow—want to come with us?"

"Really? I'd really like that. I wasn't really looking forward to hanging around the hotel all day. How about you, Sally? Do you want to go tomorrow?" Kim glanced at her cousin, waiting for an answer.

"If Jack and Tom want to."

"If they don't want to go, we'll go without them. I think they'll want to though. I know how much my brother loves to fish."

"Great, I'll tell Eddie and Brad that you guys are going with us," Jenny said.

"On one condition," Kim said. "If you'll let us take you out for dinner tonight."

Kathy laughed. "Okay, that's easy enough."

"Good, where's a good place to eat where we don't have to get too dressed up?" Kim asked.

"What do you like?"

Kim giggled. "Um, they don't serve it at restaurants, but I'll settle for shrimp tonight."

The girls all laughed out loud. Jenny said, "Well, you can have that for dessert. There's a great shrimp house not too far from the marina. We can dock the boat there before we go back to our slip. It isn't fancy, but they have the best garlic shrimp in town."

"I have to go back to the hotel so I can shower and change," Sally said. "I didn't really bring clothes to go out in."

"Yeah, me too," Kim said. "All I have is my jeans and a couple of tops with me. We can meet you guys at the restaurant after we get ready."

"Okay, where are you staying?" Jenny asked.

"We're staying at the Bahia Mar resort," Sally said.

"I know where that is. It's a nice place from the outside," Jenny said. "I've never been inside."

"It is nice, much nicer than we needed, but our parents made the reservations. Next trip we'll probably stay someplace a little more reasonable," Kim said.

Jenny nodded, "We can pull into the marina there and wait for you guys. We can get cleaned up on the boat and change into nicer clothes while you're in your room. Then we can all go to the restaurant together."

"Do you keep clothes on the boat?" Sally asked.

Kathy and Jenny both nodded. "We keep several changes of clothes on the boat," Kathy said. "We never know what's going to come up."

The girls began talking about what outfits they would wear to dinner. They all decided to wear skirts and nice tops. Jenny went up to the flying bridge to let her brother and the other guys know about the plans for the evening as well as the following day.

"We're going to dinner with these guys tonight," Jenny said. "I invited them to fish tomorrow and Kim said they want to take us out for shrimp. When we go in, we need to stop at the Bahia Mar so they can change."

Jenny glanced at Jack and Tom. "Is that okay with you two?"

"Hell yes! I'd love to fish again tomorrow," Jack said while Tom nodded in agreement.

"Let's fish for another hour or so. It looks like the fish have turned off anyway," Jenny said.

"We can pull the lines and head in now if you want to. We're an hour from Lauderdale and it's already three o'clock," Eddie told his sister.

Jenny nodded, smiled and headed down to the cockpit. She and the other girls began reeling in the lines, removing the teasers, rinsing them in fresh water and then hanging them to dry. Once the rods were tended to, they put them away.

Kathy yelled up to Eddie, telling him the boat was ready to go. She stumbled slightly as Eddie pushed the throttles forward, causing the boat to surge. Once she regained her footing, Kathy sat down to enjoy the ride back to the resort.

Chapter 5


Eddie docked in one of the guest slips. Brad, Jack and Tom helped secure the boat while Eddie shut it down. The girls went into the cabin to put their shorts on while they waited for the guys.

"Would you guys like to come up to our room with us?" Kim asked. "You could get ready there if you want to."

"We'll be okay here, but I would like to see the room if you don't mind," Jenny said.

"Grab your clothes, you can use the shower in the room," Sally said insistently. "We have a lot of room. We could even take a swim in the pool first if you want to."

The four guys came into the cabin. Eddie asked what was going on and Jenny told him.

"Kim and Sally said we could go in the pool if we want to. I think I'm going to take her up on the offer. How about the rest of you?"

"Sounds good to me," Brad said. "It's still early."

"Cool, let's go," Kim said. "You guys need to put on your suits." She giggled and then said, "I don't think they'll let us go skinny dipping."

"No, they would definitely frown on that," Brad said with a chuckle. "We should have gone in the ocean at lunchtime if you wanted to go skinny dipping."

Kim grinned. "There's always tomorrow."

Laughing, the guys went below to change. Jack and Tom came back with their bags, telling their sisters they wanted to go to the room first. Kim and Sally ran down to the staterooms, gathered their things and went back up to the cabin. The group left the boat, heading into the hotel.

Jack stopped at the front desk to let them know about the boat. Because they weren't going to be there all night, the hotel didn't charge them to dock. They went to the elevators and up to the floor the room was on.

"This place is beautiful," Kathy said as they walked down the hallway toward the room.

Jack put the card in the door, unlocking it. Holding the door open, he invited the group into the room.

"This room is huge," Jenny said. "I really like it." She went out on the balcony and looked down. "I can see our boat from here."

Brad came out, stood behind Jenny and looked where she was pointing. He put his arms around her waist, pulling her back against him.

"So, they aren't as bad as you thought they were going to be—are they?" Brad kissed Jenny on top of her head.

"No, not at all. I was pretty stupid, wasn't I?"

"I wouldn't say stupid. I just think you judged them before you met them. That isn't like you."

Jenny put her hands on Brad's arms, rubbing them lightly. "I really like them, all of them. Kim and Sally are really nice and they're not the least bit stuck up. I would really like to be their friend."

"That's cool. Jack and Tom are cool too. I can't believe how well we're all getting along."

Sally came out on the balcony, followed by Jack. They stood next to Jenny and Brad, looking down at the marina.

"That's your boat, isn't it?" Sally asked.

"Yes. Nice view of the beach from up here, isn't it?" Jenny said.

"Yeah, it's really nice in the morning. You can see the sun rising over the ocean," Sally replied.

"I'm going to call home," Jack said. "I want to let our parents know about our day and our plans for the weekend."

Jack went into the room, sat at the desk and called home. Tom had changed into his swimsuit. He sat on the bed next to Kim while waiting for Jack to make the telephone call. Jenny, Brad and Sally came back in the room just as Don answered the phone.

Jack began telling his dad about the fishing trip. As he spoke, his excitement showed. After he told Don the plans for the evening, and next day, Jack hung up.

"Would you mind if I called home?" Jenny asked. "I'd like to let my parents know what's up."

"Help yourself," Jack replied pointing at the telephone.

While Jenny called home, Jack went into the bathroom to change into his suit. He returned as Jenny was finishing her call. The group left the room to go down to the pool.

Jack pointed at a group of lounges along the side of the pool. They went over and tossed their towels on the lounges. The girls removed the tee shirts and shorts they were wearing, placing their clothes on the lounges with the towels.

The group went to the edge of the pool and jumped into the warm water. They all stayed close and soon began to splash water at one another. As their play intensified, they started to dunk each other. At first, the couples only frolicked with their mates, but that changed when Jenny jumped on Jack's back. He was too strong for Jenny, easily dislodging her from his back.

Sally saw what Jenny did so she tried to dunk Eddie. Before long, the teens were trying to dunk whoever was closest to them. The play went on for a few minutes. They finally called a truce, deciding to rest. All of them were laughing as they moved into shallow water and sat on the steps of the pool.

The group hung around in the water for a little while. They recapped their play and then began talking about the games of chicken they played in their own pools. They were all laughing out loud when they realized they had all played the game while naked.

"I think it's more fun when we start with our suits on," Jenny said. "I like pulling the tops off my opponents."

"That's because you like grabbing Kathy's boobs," Eddie said.

Everyone went silent while they waited for Jenny to respond to her brother's reveling statement.

When Kim said, "Who wouldn't?" They all started laughing again.

Jenny looked at Kim, grinning as she raised an eyebrow. Kim smiled back. Both girls wondered if the other had ever done anything with another girl before. Kim wondered if Jenny would.

"I bet Jack would," Sally said. "I think he's a boob man as it is."

"What! Why do you say that?" Jack replied.

"Because you can't seem to keep your hands off my boobs—that's why!"

Jack chuckled. "Well, can you blame me?"

"Hell no!" Eddie said, laughing out loud as he blushed.

"You just like girls with big boobs, don't you?" Kathy asked Eddie.

"No, I don't just like girls with big boobs—I like all boobs."

"It seems my brother is a boob man too, not that all guys aren't," Jenny said.

"What can we say?" Tom said. "It isn't like you girls mind us looking at you."

"True, I love it," Kathy said with a giggle. "I guess it's the exhibitionist in me."

"You too?" Sally said.

"Yeah, at least around people I know. It isn't like I show off for strangers or anything."

"My mom says we shouldn't be ashamed of our bodies. I think Mom would go topfree all the time if she could."

"Topfree?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, that's what Mom calls it. She says topless is for the dancers at those men's bars. She says a woman should be able to go topfree just like guys can," Jenny said. "Have you ever noticed that after you're around a girl that isn't wearing her top it seems almost normal?"

"Yes I have. In fact, it's easy to forget you're naked when you're around other naked people. It's natural after all," Jack said. "When we spent the week at the resort, I forgot all about it—well most of the time anyway."

"We've all been to nude beaches before, but not anywhere you could go naked all the time. I'd like to check out one of those resorts someday," Kathy said.

"When we first got there, I thought it was going to be real embarrassing, but it wasn't. I liked it, but it got to be kind of boring after a week," Kim said and then she giggled. "I like checking out guys and wondering what they look like—if you know what I mean."

"I didn't know girls did that too," Brad said. "I had always thought that was a guy thing."

"You're so wrong, Baby," Jenny said. "Girls do it too."

Tom laughed and said, "I guess I should start wearing different pants—something tighter."

"You look good in what you wear. Personally, I check out a guy's ass more than anything," Kim said.

Sally, Kathy and Jenny all agreed in unison. They giggled, making comments about how guys' butts looked in tight jeans. Jack made a comment about how much better it was for guys because girls had butts and boobs, causing everyone to laugh.

Jenny decided to get out of the water, complaining she was becoming waterlogged. When she got out, so did the rest of the group. The guys lagged behind the girls, letting out low wolf whistles. All four of the girls wiggled their bottoms and then scurried to the lounges. They all sat together, leaving the guys in a group of their own.

Kim, Sally, Kathy and Jenny talked, lowering their voices and giggling once in a while. The four guys sat on the lounges, near the girls, talking about fishing and the boat.

"Kim and Sally seem really cool," Eddie said. "A lot of girls would get all bent out of shape if we talked like that in front of them."

"Same for Jenny and Kathy," Jack said. "I can't believe how well we all get along and how much alike we seem to be."

"I have to tell you, Jenny was really worried about meeting you guys. I think she was intimidated or something," Brad said, glancing over at the giggling girls. "Now I think she really likes Kim and Sally."

"Why would she feel that way?" Tom asked.

Brad shrugged his shoulders. "I guess it was because you guys are rich. You sure don't act like it though. We know some kids that come from wealthy families that are so spoiled I can't stand to be around them. Maybe Jenny felt the same way."

"We didn't have money a lot longer than we have—or our parents have. Our parents don't act all snooty, and I'm pretty sure they'd whip us if we did. We're very fortunate to have great parents," Jack said.

"How did they make all of their money?" Brad asked.

"Luck! Just plain dumb luck is how. They won the lottery," Tom said. "Before that, our dads worked in a shop and our moms were waitresses. We lived in small houses, in a nice neighborhood, in a suburb of Detroit. When they won they hired people to help them with the money. Now we live in bigger houses and do more things, but we have tried to remember how it was before.

"Having money is no excuse for being assholes. Our dads have done a lot for their friends too. They aren't the least bit selfish."

"That's cool. Like I said, you guys don't act like rich kids," Brad said.

"You mean rich spoiled brats, don't you?" Tom asked.

"Yeah, I guess that's what I meant."

"If we ever act that way, just tell us to shut the fuck up," Jack said. "We went to a school with prissy brats like that and I couldn't stand them. I hope I never get that way."

Next to the guys, the girls were having a similar conversation. Jenny had asked Kim and Sally about the stores they shopped in and the clothes they wore.

"I just can't see spending a lot of money for clothes just because they have a tag or come from a fancy store. I can get a lot more for my money at Target, Wal-Mart, or stores like that," Kim said. "I'm not trying to impress anyone."

"Before, we were lucky to get a few new outfits a year. Kim and I used to baby sit to make extra money and we learned how to make it go a long way. We were lucky because we wear the same size and can swap clothes," Sally said.

"You don't have to do that anymore, do you?" Kathy said.

"I guess not, but we still do. We both like the same things so it just makes sense for us to buy different things and share," Kim said. "Sometimes we dress more like twin sisters than cousins—you know, matching."

"That's too funny," Jenny said. "There are a lot of times that Kathy and I will dress almost the same without even talking about it before we do. It's like we can read each other's minds."

"We should think about getting ready for dinner," Kathy said. "I'm starved!"

"You're always hungry, I don't know how you stay thin," Jenny said.

"I exercise," Kathy said as she giggled.

"Yeah, I know what kind of exercise you do."

Kathy laughed and said, "It works, doesn't it? Besides, it isn't like you don't get your fair share of the same thing."

"Are you two talking about what I think you are?" Sally asked.

"If you think we're talking about sex it is," Jenny replied. "Do you guys—um..."

"How do you think we keep our figures?" Sally said, covering her face with her hands to hide the fact she was blushing.

The four girls began to laugh hysterically. They had tears running down their cheeks and clutched at their sides.

"What's so funny?" Jack asked, chuckling right along with them.

"We're just discussing our exercise routines," Sally said.

"Yeah, and our diets," Jenny added before beginning to laugh out of control.

"I think we're all on the same protein diet," Kim said between her fits of laughter.

"Mmmm, I love a good protein shake," Kathy said.

Jack and the other guys shook their heads. The innuendos had gone over their heads and they all thought the girls were being silly.

"Stop, stop, I'm going to pee my pants," Sally said.

"Are you into that?" Kathy asked, laughing ever harder.

"I'm into almost anything. I'm not shy about sex," Sally said bluntly. "If Jack wants to try something, I'm game."

"We better get going before this gets out of control," Jenny said.

"What do you mean before it gets out of control? I think it already has," Kim said.

"I can't believe we're talking like this, we just met," Kathy said.

"I know, but it seems like we've been friends forever," Kim said. "I guess we're all alike in a lot of ways. We like the same things at least. This has been one of the best days I've had in a long time."

"Me too, and the day isn't over yet," Jenny said. "I'm going to go take a shower and get dressed now."

The other girls agreed. Kim and Sally offered Jenny and Kathy the use of the room, but they said they would get ready on the boat. Jenny got up, putting on her shorts and top before telling Brad it was time to go. The group decided to meet at the boat in an hour. Kim, Sally, Jack and Tom went to their room while the others went to the boat.

"You guys were sure acting strange," Jack said as they rode up on the elevator.

"We were just having fun, that's all. Kathy and Jenny are so much fun!" Sally said.

"Just what were you talking about that was so funny?" Tom asked.

"Sex! What else?" Kim replied.

"I might have known." Tom put his arm around Kim's waist. "What else would four girls talk about?"

"We talked about clothes and other stuff too, Honey. Somehow, the conversation just got around to sex, that's all."

Sally leaned against Jack. She stretched up, kissing him on his ear. "Do we have time to fool around before dinner?" she whispered.

Jack chuckled as he shrugged his shoulders.

When they got into the room, Kim and Sally quickly removed their clothes. Kim grabbed Tom, pulling him into the bathroom so they could get into the shower first. Sally hugged Jack and then began to remove his trunks. When his suit was off, she pulled him to the bed. They climbed on top of the covers and into one another's arms.

Sally began kissing Jack. He rolled her onto her back, putting one hand on her breast while probing her mouth with his tongue. Sally reached between them, gripping his growing erection. The two of them kissed and fondled each other, rolling around on the bed and keeping their bodies in contact.

"I want you so bad, Sweetie," Sally said hoarsely.

"Mmmm, I want you too, but I don't want a quickie—I want to take our time and make love."

"I know. I wish we had our own room." Sally pulled back so she could look into Jack's eyes. "I really want to be alone with you. It's okay doing it with Kim and Tom in the room, but..."

"I agree, I want to be alone with you too, Sweetie. Ever since we—you know, I have wanted to be alone with you." Jack propped his head on his hand, rubbing Sally's stomach and breasts with his other hand.

"I'm glad Kim and I had our little chat after we all broke up with Megan, Lisa, Brad and Paul. We knew we couldn't really have our brothers for boyfriends. I felt so betrayed by Brad, even though I knew there was something going on with him. I tried to understand, but really couldn't. When Kim suggested we try something new, I was all for it."

"You don't know how glad I am that you did. I love you so much and now things are really getting great. We have the yacht, new friends and each other—I don't think it could get much better." Jack leaned down and kissed Sally's nose.

"I love you too, Jack. I'll do anything for you—you know that don't you?"

"I thought you got over that, Sweetie. I thought that was just about Brad."

Sally shook her head. "I want a guy that's strong—someone that will take charge. I want you to be that guy, Jack."

"I don't know if I can. I'd rather ask you, not tell you, Sweetie."

"Ask, tell, what's the difference? If you want something just let me know. Whatever it is, I'll do it for you. If you want a blowjob, just whip it out and push me to my knees."

Jack moved his hand up, covering Sally's breast. He massaged if for a moment and then said, "How about if I want to screw?"

"Bend me over, Baby. As long as we're not somewhere we'll get in trouble, just go for it. If you want, I'll wear skirts all the time to make it easier for you."

"Will you go without panties?" Jack decided to test her and see how willing she really was.

"If you tell me not to wear panties, I won't. If you feel I've been a bad girl, you can put me over your knee and give me a spanking."

"I could never hurt you, Sally."

Sally giggled. "Maybe I wouldn't think it hurts! Maybe I'd like it." She slowly stroked his penis. "I did the last time I got a spanking."

"You did? When was that?"

"One night Tom and I played a game, sort of. I pretended I was a bad girl and he spanked me." Sally grinned, squeezing Jack's penis firmly. "It really turned me on."

Kim and Tom came out of the bathroom. When Kim saw Sally's hand around her brother's penis, she giggled and asked, "Is that for me?"

"Not anymore—it's mine now." Sally moved quickly, covering Jack's member with her body. "You have one of your own to play with—Tom's!"

Kim giggled and nodded her head. "You two better get going, we are supposed to meet them in a little while. I hope you don't mind if I fix my hair and put on my makeup while you're in the shower."

"I don't care," Jack said as he wiggled out from under Sally.

Sally and Jack got into the shower together. They washed each other while Kim used the blow dryer on her hair. Finishing quickly, they got out to dry off. Jack hung his towel over the top of the shower stall. Sally bent over to dry her feet and Jack couldn't resist giving her a playful smack on her upturned bottom. Sally looked up at him and grinned. She winked as she wiggled her bottom, inviting Jack to do it again.

Shaking his head, Jack left the bathroom. He could hear Sally giggling as he walked out. After putting on his boxers and slacks, Jack sat on the bed to put on his socks.

"Tom, I want to ask you something. You can tell me to butt out if you want to. What's with Sally and getting spanked?"

"She loves it, Jack. At least she did the time I spanked her. She got so turned on I thought she was going to hurt me when we made love afterwards."

"I guess I don't understand why someone would want to be hurt."

"I didn't hurt her, not at all. I could never do that to Sally or any other girl for that matter. It was just a game. If you ever want a wild woman on your hands, try it."

"Thanks. We talked about it and I didn't know if she was serious or not."

"She was, like I said, it drove her wild the time we did it."

"Are you sorry things are working out like they are? I mean are you going to miss having sex with Sally if she doesn't want to do it with you anymore?"

"Kim asked me the same thing."

"What did you tell her?"

"I told her I loved her and was happy with her as far as that goes. I don't know what's going to happen between Sally and me any more than I know what's going to happen between you and Kim. I sure wouldn't feel any different about her if she made love with you. I would hope you'd feel the same."

Jack thought for a moment. "I would. What about the four of us fooling around together like we have before?"

"I'd sure like that. We always had fun when we did something like that. This is something new for all of us. I guess we'll just have to see how it goes. If we keep our heads on straight, we'll be fine."

Jack stood up, went to the closet and picked out a shirt. He put it on, buttoning it up. Kim and Sally came out of the bathroom and began getting dressed. Jack watched Sally and his sister pull their thongs on and then finish dressing. Sally put on a halter sundress, tying it behind her neck and buttoning it up the front. Kim wore a skirt and top. Both of the girls put on their boat shoes.

"We're ready," Kim said. "Let's go."

"Give me a minute." Sally excused herself and went into the bathroom. She came out a few moments later, took Jack's arm and said, "I'm ready to go."

The four of them went down to the lobby and then out to the marina. When they got to the boat, Jack called out, asking permission to come aboard. Brad opened the door, smiling as he invited them in.

Jenny and Kathy came up from below as Kim and Sally stepped into the cabin. Both of the girls had skirts and tank tops on. Jenny and Kathy went over to Kim and Sally. They stood next to them, all of them facing the guys.

"Well, do we look cute or what?" Jenny said.

"You all look great," Brad said.

Eddie, Jack and Tom complemented them too, telling the girls how good they all looked. After a few moments of chatting, Eddie went up to the flying bridge to start the boat. Jack and Tom gave Brad a hand with the lines once the boat was warmed. Eddie pulled out of the slip, making his way out to the ICW. Jack, Tom and Brad went up to the flying bridge to be with Eddie.

"The restaurant isn't too far. I hope we can find a spot to tie up when we get there," Eddie said. "Usually, there isn't a problem, but you never know."

"If we can't find a place to tie up, we can take the boat back to the marina and drive to the restaurant, can't we?" Jack asked.

"Sure, but I think we'll be okay. We might have to hold in the canal for a little while, but that isn't all bad." Eddie glanced behind the boat to make sure no one was coming up on him.

Down in the cockpit, the girls sat in deckchairs, watching the scenery as the boat moved through the Intracoastal Waterway. There were beautiful homes lining the shore, most with a boat of some sort at the seawall. The boats ranged from small center-console fishing boats to large yachts.

"I don't think I could ever get tired of this," Sally said. "It's so beautiful."

Kim nodded. She pointed at one of the larger homes and said, "Look at the size of that place. I wonder who lives there?"

"How big is the house your parents bought down here?" Kathy asked.

"I don't know. It's pretty big," Kim replied. "It has to be for our two families. I wasn't really sure about staying in Florida at first, but now I know I'm going to like it."

"Why weren't you sure about it?" Jenny asked.

"I don't know. I guess it was because we didn't know anyone. It would have really sucked to be down here half the year and not have anyone to hang around with."

Jenny smiled. "How about the yacht? Won't that keep you guys busy?"

"Some of the time, but I want to do more than just work on the yacht though." Kim looked at Jenny and Kathy. "Now we know you guys. I hope we can get together and do things."

"I'd like that, Kim. We can do things together when you're down here in the winter. At least on the weekends, we have school during the week. I think you'll like our other friends and have fun hanging around with us."

"I can't wait to meet them. Maybe someday you guys can come up to Michigan. We could take you salmon fishing on Lake Michigan." Kim giggled. "It isn't as big as the ocean, but you can get out far enough that all you see is water."

"I've seen pictures and learned about the Great Lakes in geography class, but it's hard to imagine a lake that big. Down here, you can see across most of the lakes," Jenny said.

"We have a lot of small lakes too, but the Great Lakes are huge. We can go to the sand dunes too. They're really nice," Kim told her new friends.

Sally leaned forward so she could see Jenny and Kathy better. "Do your moms work?"

"My mom is a secretary for a law firm, Jenny's mom manages a lingerie store in West Palm," Kathy said. "One of these days we should go to the store, they have really great stuff there. Jenny's mom got our fishing outfits for us."

"What fishing outfits?" Sally asked.

"We have matching shirts, pants, shorts and skirts. The shirts have the boat's name on them. Want to go below and see them?" Kathy replied.

"Sure," Sally said.

The girls went to the master stateroom. Jenny opened the hanging locker, reached in and pulled out one of the short-sleeved shirts. Kim took the shirt from her, looking it over carefully. Kathy showed Kim and Sally the matching skirts, shorts and long pants.

"These are so cool! Do you wear them when you fish in the tournaments?" Kim asked.

"Yes, and to the meetings at the tournaments," Kathy told her. "Our brothers have the same outfits."

Sally started to giggle. "I'd love to see Eddie and Brad in the skirts."

All of them laughed at what Sally had said. Kathy grinned and said, "Eddie gets into my skirt once in a while."

"Once in a while?" Jenny said with a giggle. "When we wear the skirts, they both have their hands under them every chance they get."

"Isn't that why we wear skirts and dresses?" Sally asked and then she laughed.

"That's one of the reasons I wear them," Jenny said. "The most important reason!"

The girls giggled as Jenny put the outfits back into the hanging locker. They went back to the cockpit and then up to the flying bridge to see the guys. It was a bit crowded with eight of them on the flying bridge, but they managed.

"You should see the cute outfits they have to fish in," Kim said. "Jenny's mom got them for them. She works in a lingerie store."

"I can't wait to see them," Tom said. "Fishing outfits from a lingerie store have to be hot!"

"The outfits aren't lingerie, silly," Kim said as she playfully punched Tom in the arm.

"Too bad," Tom replied, receiving another punch in the arm as he said it.

"Maybe we should talk to Jenny's mom about the uniforms for Tomiko," Sally said, and then she turned to Jenny. "Do you think she could help us?"

"I don't know, but I'll ask her. She works with someone that makes the outfits. They sell a lot more than lingerie at her store. The store used to just sell lingerie, but Mom convinced them to expand the things they offer. Now they carry tops, bikinis, skirts, shorts and slacks. They don't have jeans or tee shirts, not yet anyway," Jenny said.

Eddie slowed the boat. He pointed at the shoreline and said, "There's the restaurant. It looks like there's a place on the seawall. I'll need some help with this. We need to get a couple of fenders out and get a spring line attached to the mid-ship cleat. There's usually a dock hand to help."

Brad, Tom and Jack went down to the cockpit. Brad told Jack and Tom what to do and where to find the fenders. Moving along the starboard side, Brad attached a line to the cleat midway between the bow and stern. As he approached the seawall, Eddie nosed the boat toward the shore. A guy came out and caught the line Brad threw to him.

Once the line was secured onshore, Eddie backed against it, swinging the stern onto the seawall. The space between the two boats where he docked the boat was only about six feet longer that the Lady Guinevere. Jack and Tom watched in awe as Eddie masterfully placed the boat against the seawall. Brad told them where to hang the fenders to protect the boat from getting scrapped.

Eddie shut down the boat. The four girls came down the steps to the cockpit to wait until the guys had the boat secured. Jenny opened the transom door so they could step onto the swim platform and then onto the pier. Brad got off the boat first, offering his hand to the girls as they made the step up to the pier. Once the girls were onshore, the rest of the guys got off the boat.

Brad reached into his pocket, pulled out his money and gave the dockhand a five. "Please keep an eye on her for us."

The dockhand nodded as he put the folded bill in his pocket.

"Is it busy in there?" Eddie asked.

"No, not yet. It's still early for a Saturday night," the dockhand said. "You won't have any trouble getting a table."

The group went to the door of the restaurant. Eddie held it open as the others filed into the lobby. Jack went up to the hostess stand and told the woman they needed a table for eight. She led them to a large round table near the windows overlooking the ICW.

The teens took their seats. Sally sat next between Jack and Tom, moving her chair closer to Jack as she scooted it under the table. Once they were settled, a server came over to take their drink orders.

After chatting with the others, Eddie said, "We'll have a pitcher of diet, regular Coke and ice tea, please."

The server left to get the drinks. Jenny reached out, gently turning the large lazy Susan in the middle of the table. "The house specialty is steamed shrimp. We usually get a couple of large bowls of shrimp. We also get coleslaw, redskin potatoes and a relish tray if that's okay with you guys."

"Sounds good to me," Kim said.

The rest of the group agreed to the items Jenny had listed. When the server returned with the beverages and glasses of ice, Jenny gave her the order for food.

"Are you sure two bowls of shrimp are going to be enough?" Tom asked. "I can eat a lot of shrimp and I'm starved."

"It should be, Tom. If not, we can order more," Brad said.

"What are we going to fish for tomorrow?" Jack asked. "Sailfish like we did today?"

"We can fish for whatever you want to. We can target the sails or go out for dolphin and wahoo." Eddie chuckled. "We can do both if you want to."

"Cool, I really liked fishing for the sailfish. I can't believe how hard they fight," Jack said. "Do you guys ever go after bonefish? I've seen programs on television and read about them."

"We're not equipped for bonefish. That's more like hunting than fishing. The people that fish for them use skiffs in shallow water and sight-fish. They throw bait or flies at feeding fish. The Lady Guinevere is too big," Eddie replied. "I'd like to do it someday, but I'd have to go out on a charter or rent a boat."

"Could we use our tender?" Sally asked.

"Maybe, what kind of boat is it?" Eddie said.

"It's a twenty-two foot center-console," Jack replied.

"Maybe we could use it. Most of the boats they use for bonefish are skiffs with poling platforms. Someone stands on the platform and looks for the fish while they move the boat with a long pole. Fishing for bones is very specialized," Eddie said.

"How much would it cost to rent one?" Tom asked. "Maybe we could all pitch in and rent one for a day."

"I don't know, but I can find out. That sounds like a good idea to me. We could go up to Stewart or down to the Keys on the Lady Guinevere and rent a skiff to fish from. Maybe we could make it a weekend trip," Brad offered.

"That would be cool! We could work on our tans while you guys fish," Kathy said. "I vote for the Keys. The water and sand down there is the best."

"When is the best time of the year to fish for bonefish?" Tom asked.

"I'm not sure, I never really studied them, but I can find out. We know a charter captain that can tell us when and where to go," Eddie said. "We worked for Nate last summer. That's how we learned about fishing for billfish."

The server came to the table, along with two other guys. They carried large bowls of shrimp as well as the other items the group had ordered. When they placed the food on the lazy Susan, Tom chuckled.

"I guess that should be enough food," Tom said as he stared at the bowls of shrimp.

The server put plates in front of each of the teens. She also put bowls for the shells around the table. After asking if they needed anything else, she left. The teens filled their plates with the steamed shrimp and other items. Jenny and Kathy showed Kim, Sally, Tom and Jack how to remove the shells. While they dipped the shrimp into sauce and ate them, they continued to talk.

"How many can you sleep on your boat?" Kim asked.

"We can sleep ten if we have to, but eight is more comfortable. We have the two staterooms and one of the settees folds out. We also have an airbed we can set up in the salon," Jenny replied.

"It's cozy to say the least," Kathy said. "Not much room for modesty."

"We're not very modest," Kim said with a giggle. "I don't think it would be a problem for us."

"I would like to see if we could plan something like that," Kathy said. "I think we'd have a blast. Maybe we girls could do some bone fishing too."

"Sure you could, Sweetie," Eddie said. "We all would have a chance to try it. Like I said, I don't know much about it, but we could sure learn. Even if we don't do well, we could have fun."

There was a lull in the conversation while everyone munched on the succulent shrimp and other items. While they ate, Jenny glanced at Kim and Sally, realizing just how much she really liked them. If she had not been told they came from rich families, she wouldn't have known. In every way, the two girls seemed to be more like her and Kathy than some of the kids from the club. Smiling to herself, Jenny resolved to never prejudge anyone again.

Glancing at Brad, Jenny thought about later that night when they would cuddle in bed together. She was anxious to feel his hands and lips caressing her body, and doing the same to him. Brad noticed Jenny looking at him and he winked, causing her heart to jump in her chest.

Brad leaned closer to Jenny. "I love you," he whispered in her ear and then he kissed her cheek.

Jenny sighed, thinking about how much she loved Brad. Smiling, she cocked her head, resting it against his shoulder before whispering that she loved him too. Sally sat across from Brad and Jenny, watching them as they interacted. Smiling, Sally leaned against Jack, just to let him know she was there.

"How about a boat ride tonight?" Brad said, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "The moon is supposed to be full tonight."

"I'd like that," Sally said, moving her leg against Jack's. "It sounds romantic."

"How do you know there's going to be a full moon, Brad?" Kim asked.

"We study the tides and moon for fishing. There are times that are better than others. We keep a log of our catches and record as much information as we can. We're learning there's a pattern to the way fish behave."

"Do you guys ever go fishing for swordfish?" Tom asked. "Jeri told us the swordfish are making a comeback after a long time of being down."

"They are. We haven't fished for them, but I have read about it. After the state stopped the commercial fishing, the fish started to come back. You have to go out at night for them, and fish in very deep water," Brad said.

"Swordfish are really good to eat," Jack said. "I wouldn't mind catching some of them."

"We've talked about it, but we're kind of leery about going so far out in our boat," Eddie said. "You can get into trouble real fast out there at night. A storm can come up and the next thing you know, you're in rough seas. Your new boat would be much better for it, that is if you plan on fishing from it."

"Hell yes, we sure plan on fishing on Tomiko," Jack said. "What's the use in having a boat you can't fish from?"

Eddie, Jenny, Brad and Kathy all laughed. "Not much use to me," Eddie said. "I just thought you guys might not want to fish from your yacht—that's all."

"I'll tell you what, as soon as we can after the yacht is delivered, we'll go sword fishing. We can stay out as long as it takes to catch some," Tom said. "I think it would be fun."

"Me too," Kim added. "We'll have a blast. You guys can invite some of your friends to go with us. We'll make it a fishing party."

"When the time to deliver gets closer, maybe you and Brad can help us outfit the yacht for fishing," Jack said to Eddie. "I have no idea what kind of rods and reels we'll need or what kind of fishing we'll be able to do from her, but I want to be able to offer our clients the chance to fish. I know we're going to have diving equipment on the boat, but we haven't talked about fishing equipment."

"No problem, we'll be glad to help you guys, won't we, Brad?"

"Sure, I love shopping with other peoples money."

"You may not be able to set up for trolling, but you can do a lot of different kinds of fishing from your yacht," Eddie said. "Besides swordfish, you can fish for grouper and other bottom fish. You can fish for jacks and Permit too. If you use the tender, it will open a lot of opportunities."

"Our captain wants to get a second tender, a bigger one. She said that there will be times when the yacht can't dock at a given destination and the larger tender will make it easier to transport the guests to and from shore," Sally said.

"We want something we can cruse around in when we're down here too," Jack said. "Jeri said she would tow the tender so I guess it doesn't matter how big it is."

"You have to think about how towing will affect the performance of the yacht," Eddie said. "Anytime you add drag, it can cause problems. I would talk with the engineer at Dad's yard to see how big and what kind of boat you should look at."

"Thanks, that's a great idea, Eddie. We'll check with him on Monday," Tom said. "I never really thought about the fact it would add drag to the yacht."

By the time they had finished eating, all of the teens were groaning and complaining that they had eaten too much. When the server came to the table, asking if they wanted dessert, they all refused. Jack asked for the bill, handing the server his credit card after he reviewed it.

"I'm going to wash up before we go," Sally said. "My hands are all sticky from peeling the shrimp."

Sally stood up. Kim, Jenny and Kathy also got up, following Sally to the restroom. The guys chuckled, making jokes about the fact girls seemed to have to go to the bathroom as a group.

The server brought the credit card slip back to the table. Jack checked it, added a tip and then signed it. The four guys got up and headed toward the front of the restaurant to wait for the girls.

They went into the restroom, washed their hands and came out before the girls appeared from the ladies' room. Once again, they chuckled and made remarks. When the girls finally came out, the group headed for the boat.

Eddie went up to the flying bridge to fire up the engines. The girls went into the cabin to get light jackets before going up and sitting down for the boat ride they planned. Tom, Jack and Brad tended to the lines, holding the boat to the seawall while the engines warmed. Once the boat was ready, they shoved it off. Eddie guided it into the ICW while Brad and Jack coiled and stowed the lines. Tom took care of the fenders, putting them into the holders along the bow-rail.

The group gathered on the flying bridge to take in the sights while Eddie piloted the boat through the water. They all sat as couples. Kathy sat next to Eddie at the helm while the other girls sat on the guys' laps to make room.

Sally snuggled against Jack's chest, resting her head on his shoulder. He put one arm around her waist and placed his other hand on her leg. As the boat moved along, he began to stroke her thigh. Wiggling, Sally opened her legs slightly, letting Jack's hand move between them. When he approached her junction, she opened them a bit more.

Jack continued to stroke her soft flesh, moving his hand higher with each upward move. When his fingers touched her bare vulva, he froze. Sally closed her legs, flexing her thigh muscles against his hand. When she released him, Jack removed his hand from under her dress. He gripped the hem, tugging it down as far as it would go.

Looking into her eyes, Jack scrunched his forehead. Sally grinned, put her mouth to his ear, and said, "You said you didn't want me to wear panties, so I didn't."

Jack moved his head so he could whisper back to her. "I didn't say that. I just asked if you would go without if I asked you to."

Sally giggled. "The answer is yes."

"Obviously, you're not wearing any." Jack kissed her ear. "What am I going to do with you?"

"Like I told you, anything you want to. Just tell me."

Jack grinned, deciding to see just how serious Sally was about what she was saying. Moving his mouth back to her ear, he whispered, "How about a blowjob?"

Much to Jack's surprise, Sally giggled and started to get off his lap. He was going to stop her, but decided to see what she would do. Standing in front of him, Sally put her hands on his knees and began to go down to her knees. Jack grabbed her, pulling her back onto his legs.

Sally snuggled against Jack's chest and then whispered in his ear. "Don't tell me to do something if you don't mean it, Honey. I'm serious about what I said."

"I guess you are, Sweetie. Next time, I'll be a bit more careful when I ask you to do something."

"I would have done it if you hadn't stopped me you know."

"I do now," Jack said and then he kissed her cheek. He took Sally's chin in his hand, turned her head and gave her a kiss on the lips, not caring who was watching him. He decided if she was that dedicated to him, he could be that dedicated to her.

"There're beds you know," Jenny said. "Feel free to use one."

"Thanks, we're fine for now," Sally said.

Jack held Sally with his arms around her. He kissed her neck and pulled at the strands of hair that escaped her ponytail, with his lips. She wiggled on his legs, trying to get closer to him.

The boat ride lasted an hour. Eddie made his way back to the marina, backing the boat into the slip while Jack, Tom and Brad tended the lines. Once the boat was tied to the pilings, they connected the water and electrical.

It was still nice out, but a bit cool. The group gathered in the cabin, none of them wanting the day to end. Jenny turned on the stereo, filling the cabin with music. After adjusting the volume so they could talk, she sat next to Brad.

"Would you guys like to stay on the boat with us tonight?" Jenny asked. "We'd love to have you."

"Thanks, but maybe some other time. We don't have anything with us," Kim said.

"What do you need? We have toothbrushes and tee shirts you can sleep in," Jenny told Kim.

"I'd really like to, but I think we'll do it another time," Kim said, her resolve diminishing.

"You guys can have the staterooms. We'll sleep in the cabin tonight," Jenny said. "We can get up early, have breakfast and go fishing."

"I don't know. We need things for tomorrow, too. If we would have known, we could have packed what we needed." Kim glanced at Tom.

"We could go get the things we need if you want to stay, Honey," Tom said. "What do you guys think?" Tom looked at Jack and his sister.

"We don't want to be any trouble," Sally said, secretly hoping they would stay.

"No trouble at all," Eddie said. "Why don't you run to the hotel and get the things you'll need. We'll make up the beds in the salon while you're gone. Really, we'd love to have you guys stay."

"If you're sure you don't mind. I think it would be great," Jack said.

"It will be. Go get your things, we'll take care of things here," Kathy said.

Jack stood up. Reaching for Sally's hand, he pulled her to her feet. Tom and Kim also got up so they could go to the hotel.

"Can we pick up anything while we're out?" Kim asked.

"No, I think we have everything we need. We still have the donuts and bagels you brought this morning. We have eggs, bacon, coffee, bread..." Jenny giggled. "We have everything. Hurry back, we'll be waiting for you guys.

Jack and the others left the boat. They went to the truck and got in. Kim and Sally sat in the back seat while Jack drove and Tom sat up front.

"Remind me to call home when we get to the room," Kim said. "We have to tell our parents what were doing."

"This is the best!" Sally said. "It's going to be so nice having friends down here. I hope we can hang around with them while we're here and when we come back."

"I don't see why not," Kim said. "They're really nice."

Jack and Tom listened to the girls talking about the day on the boat and the new friends they all had met. Jack pulled into the hotel parking lot and they all went up to their room.

Kim and Sally began packing a bag, asking their brothers what they wanted to take.

Sally took her Wicked Weasel bikini out of a drawer. Holding it up, she said, "Do you want me to take this, Jack?"

Jack glanced at the micro suit, nodding while he grinned. Tom spoke up, telling Kim she should take hers too. Kim found her bikini as well as the Speedo suits for her brother and Tom. She packed them in the bag, chuckling to herself as she showed Sally what she was doing.

The girls also packed shorts, long pants and tee shirts for everyone. Once the bag was packed with clothing, the girls went to the bathroom to get their toiletries.

"We're ready," Kim said. "We can go as soon as I call home."

Kim called the house. Her mom answered the telephone and Kim began to babble, telling her mom about their day and that they were staying on the boat over night.

"What are you guys doing, Mom?" Kim asked.

"Not much, Honey. Mr. and Mrs. Stone and Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are visiting tonight. We're going over a few things for the new house."

"Okay, are you guys still coming down on Thursday?"

"Yes, we land in West Palm Beach at eleven o'clock in the morning. We plan on checking into the hotel and then going to the boat yard to look at the yacht. We should be there by two in the afternoon."

"We'll be there, Mom. We sure have a lot to learn about the yacht."

"Yes, I'm sure you do. Joanne has some fabric samples and some sketches to go over when we get there. She's doing a great job, I think you kids will really like what she's done."

"I can't wait, Mom. We have to go now. I have my cell phone if you need to call us for anything. Have a good time, we'll talk to you tomorrow evening."

Kim and Marge hung up. Kim told the others what her mom had said and about their arrival time.

"Sounds like they're having a party," Kim said. "I could hear music and laughing."

"Are you ready to go?" Tom asked as he gave Kim a hug.

"Yup, I sure am." Kim kissed him. "I love you—you know that, don't you?"

"Yes, I love you too."

Kim, Sally, Jack and Tom left the room. Jack carried the bag the girls had packed and Tom carried his camera case. They went to the truck and put the bags in the back.

"Would you mind driving, Tom? I want to sit in back with Jack," Sally said.

"No problem, I'll drive. Let's go."

Jack and Sally got into the back seat. She scooted next to Jack, taking his hand in hers. She put his hand on her leg, smiling as she pulled it under her dress. "I can't wait until we get into bed, Sweetie. The things I'm going to do to you!" Sally whispered.

Smiling, Jack pressed his fingers against her sex. Sally spread her legs, giving him complete access to her vagina. Jack moved his fingers over her labia and then pressed one into her opening. Sally gripped his arm, holding it tightly as he began to move.

Kim glanced over the seat, grinning when she saw what was going on. She winked at her brother and he smiled back at her. Sally had her eyes closed so she couldn't see the exchange. Turning around, Kim reached over and placed her hand on Tom's leg.

Jack continued to finger Sally until Tom pulled into the marina. When she heard the truck's engine stop, Sally let out a groan. She wiggled against Jack's hand, wishing he could keep doing what he was doing. When Jack removed his hand, Sally pulled his finger to her mouth and sucked on it. She moaned softly, sending vibrations through Jack's arm.

Pulling his finger from Sally's mouth, he reached for the door handle. He opened the door, turning on the interior light. When he glanced at Sally, she faked a pout and then smiled.

"Come on, let's go to the boat," Tom said.

They took the bags out of the back of the Suburban and headed for the boat to spend the night with their friends.

Chapter 6


"That was Kim," Marge said as she slipped back into the hot tub with Don, Marc, Anne, Liz, Jerry, Joanne and Sam. "It sounds like they're having a ball down there. They are going to stay on the boat with their friends tonight."

Don and Marge had invited Jerry and Liz Stone and Sam and Joanne Mitchell over for dinner. Marc and Anne were also there, as they were almost every night. Don and Marc wanted to discuss the sale of Marc and Anne's house and the re-decorating of the house the two families would soon share.

Joanne Mitchell had already made several suggestions to Marge and Anne on changes to the house. She was working with an architect on the renovations the house would require and coordinating the way she wanted the new interior to look.

After meeting for a couple hours, they had dinner. Marge and Anne had prepared baked chicken breasts with all the trimmings. Once dinner was finished and the clean up was complete, they had gone out to the pool area for drinks.

The group enjoyed a few after dinner drinks and then decided to go for a dip. Like they usually did, they swam naked. After enjoying the pool, they sat in the hot tub to relax, have a drink and talk.

This was the first time they had all gotten together for anything other than work since they came back from Florida. All of the other gatherings were to talk about the houses and decorating. That night, they decided to have a relaxing evening and enjoy one another's company, even though most of the talk was about the things they wanted to do regarding the houses.

"It looks like everything is in order for the closing next week," Jerry said. "It seems the previous owner is very anxious to get the money so he doesn't have to go to jail. I would expect we'll get the keys on Friday morning."

"I was thinking about the guest house," Marge said. "All in all it's not in bad shape. I think we could use it until the work is finished on the main house."

"What do we need it for?" Marc asked.

"The kids. I think it would be better for them if they didn't have to stay in hotels when they go down there. I was also thinking about the apartment for Jeri and April. If we could get that done first, there would be adults on the property. I would feel better if that were possible," Marge said.

"I guess almost anything is possible, Honey," Don said. "You aren't worried about the kids, are you?"

"Not worried, I know they can take care of themselves. I would just feel better if they were in the house instead of a hotel." Marge put her hand on Joanne's knee. "What do you think, how long would it take to get the guest house ready?"

"I don't know, it depends on how much you want to do to it. If you want to make major changes it could take a couple months. If you just paint and furnish it, much sooner. If it were up to me, I would do as little as you can. Make it livable for now and then make any major changes after the main house is finished."

"I agree," Anne said. "The guest house had new built in appliances so you wouldn't have to do much in the kitchen. We're going to have some furniture we can move down there from our house. All the kids really need are beds and some living room furniture."

"Are you planning to maintain the same theme in the guest house as the main house?" Joanne asked.

"Maybe, but that can wait—can't it?" Anne said.

"Yes, of course it can wait. Like I said, I would recommend it," Joanne said. "That being said, with the right crew, it would only take a week or two to get the house ready. That would leave the furniture."

"I'm going to see if we can make it happen when we're down there," Marge said.

"I was thinking of suggesting you redo the guest house. With a little planning, you could make another bedroom. The master is way too big for a guesthouse. I think you could end up with six bedrooms and three baths," Joanne said. "The rooms wouldn't be very big, but you could always add on to the house if you wanted to."

"We're going to make it so we can use it right now. Let's plan on painting and new carpet. Once the main house is completed, we can discuss the guesthouse," Marge said. She turned to Don. "What do you think?"

"It doesn't matter to me, Honey. Marc and I already told you to do what you want down there."

Liz smiled at Joanne and said, "This must be very exciting for you, Jo."

"You have no idea how exciting it is for me. I still think I'm dreaming at times."

"She works long into the night," Sam said.

Joanne chuckled, smiling at her husband. "You aren't suffering, are you?"

"No, not at all. I never thought there was such a thing as too much sex, but now I'm beginning to wonder."

Joanne reached under the churning water. She found Sam's penis and began to fondle it. "Is your poor cock getting worn out? If it is, I think I could find someone to take care of me while you recuperate." Joanne had whispered in her husband's ear so the others couldn't hear her.

Ever since her awaking in Florida, Joanne's sexual urges seemed to be unquenchable. She was always ready to make love with Sam, even when he wasn't really in the mood. Joanne had bought some new clothing so she could dress sexier for Sam. She gave up her business attire for short skirts and revealing tops. Her new lingerie was less functional and more provocative. Pantyhose had been replaced with stockings and garters. When she dressed for her husband, it was all he could do to keep his hands off her.

There were nights when Sam was tired, but after a sensual massage, Joanne usually got her way. One of her favorite activities had become oral sex—she couldn't seem to get enough of it. Many nights, Joanne would lay on the couch with her husband. She loved to pull his penis out and smother it with soft kisses. While she wasn't able to take his entire length all the time, she would try. Most nights, they would end up making love, but on many occasions, Joanne was treated to his semen.

One of the things that continued to churn in Joanne's mind was the night in Florida she had sex with the other men and watched her husband with the other women. It was like the last of her inhibitions and fears were removed that night—driven away by the unending parade of penises that drilled her. She had not had the opportunity to repeat the act, but she wanted to. Smiling to herself, she fondled her husband and wondered if this would be the night.

"Who needs a fresh drink?" Don asked as he rose.

Joanne glanced at his swaying penis and said, "I'd like one; want some help?"

Joanne got out of the tub, following Don inside to help with the drinks. They stopped for a moment to dry themselves before going through the doorway. After preparing the drinks, they carried them out to the pool area.

While Don and Joanne were in the house, the rest of the group had gotten out of the hot tub. They sat around the tables, accepting the drinks that were offered. Joanne began to pull a chair close, but Sam pulled her onto his lap.

"Where are we staying in Florida?" Sam asked.

"We have rooms at a hotel in West Palm, Sam. I didn't want to stay at the same hotel the kids are staying at," Don replied. "I didn't want them to feel like we were checking up on them. Besides that, I thought it would be better to be close to the house."

"I want to go to that lingerie shop again," Joanne said. "I haven't found anyplace around here that I like as well. I can get the same brands, but it isn't the same."

"We can go shopping when we're there," Liz said. "There are a few stores I liked too."

"When are we going to start the work on this house?" Marge asked.

"The architect said he would have the drawings finished by Tuesday. Once you approve them, we can hire a contractor," Joanne said. "After that—mess and mayhem."

"Why don't you, Don and the kids stay with us while the construction is going on?" Anne asked Marge. "That way you won't have to put up with the workers."

"I don't know if I want to leave the house, Anne. Let me think about it," Marge replied.

"Okay, but you guys know you're welcome to stay."

"Maybe we'll let Jack and Kim stay with you. Their bedrooms are close to where the construction will be going on. Don and I are at the opposite end of the house."

"How are Bob and Dianne doing? I haven't talked to them in over a week," Liz said. "I see Lisa, but she and Megan spend most of their time upstairs."

"Bob is working his ass off on the golf course. He has workers in the house painting and fixing a few things. Bob has been changing the pro shop, getting it ready for his new inventory. I think he's over doing it, but that's up to him I guess," Marc said.

"How are Lisa and Megan doing?" Marge asked. "They seemed very happy the last time I saw them."

"Megan says they're doing fine. They are talking about getting a place together. Jerry and I told Megan they could live with us, but they seem to want to be on their own. Between school and Lisa, Megan has been very busy," Liz said.

"I'll help them if they decide to get a place," Jerry said. "I can still remember how hard it was when Liz and I setup housekeeping."

Sam chuckled and then said, "I'm going to have a house for sale in the near future. Want to buy it, Jerry?"

"Maybe, that's not really a bad idea. I'll talk to Megan. If she is hell bent on moving, we'll talk about it," Jerry said.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you guys. Do you remember Crystal? She's the friend of the kids that used to come over here," Liz said. "She was at the house the other day. It seems Megan and Lisa ran into her at a party."

"I remember her. She's the one that had the little Asian girlfriend, the one that was sent back to Japan when her father found out she was a lesbian," Marge said.

"Yes, that's her. She's doing great now. Apparently Yuko has returned to the states. She came back a month ago after she turned eighteen. Megan said her father won't talk to her, but she decided to come back anyway," Liz said. "I guess love conquers all."

"You know, when Sam and I have children, I hope we can be like you guys are with yours. You accept them for who they are no matter what," Joanne said.

"It wasn't always like that for Jerry and me, Jo. We had to have our eyes opened before we realized we were more concerned about ourselves than Megan. That's true of a lot of things," Liz said.

"Yes, I know it is for me. I think we will be able to keep an open mind when we raise our children." Joanne giggled like a teenager and wiggled on her husband's lap. "My mind has been opened to a lot of things lately."

Sam put his hands on Joanne's hips, lifting her slightly. "If you don't stop moving, something else is going to be opened—and then filled."

Joanne leaned back. She put her hand behind Sam's head, drawing his lips to hers. After kissing him, she said, "Promises, promises, promises."

"Do you need help keeping that hot little wife of yours happy, Sam?" Don asked. "If you do, let me know."

"Sammy makes me happy, Don. Sometimes he doesn't make me happy often enough though."

"If I did, I wouldn't be able to walk, Jo."

"There are worse things in life, Sam," Marge said.

"He knows; he used to have a shy wife that wasn't the least bit adventurous. I guess I could go back to being like that."

"Don't you even think about it! I'll start taking double vitamins if I have to," Sam said with a chuckle.

"There is no way I could ever go back, Darling. Not after tasting life on the wild side. It isn't just sex; it's the way I feel about myself now. I'm not the same person anymore and I can't even imagine returning to the way I was."

"How's everyone's drink? Anyone want another one?" Don asked.

"I would, but I have to drive home tonight," Sam said.

"Stay here, we have plenty of room, and the kids are gone," Marge said. "Why don't we all take a nice hot shower and go into the house where we can be more comfortable. Don can build a fire for us."

The four couples went to the pool house to shower. Standing under the hot spray, Joanne glanced at the others. She smiled as she thought about her few days in Florida and how she had changed in such a short time. Joanne chuckled to herself as she remembered how shy and reserved she used to be and how carefree she now felt.

A pair of soapy hands came around Joanne's body. She sighed as the hands began to coat her breasts with soap and then toy with her nipples. Joanne closed her eyes, enjoying the wonderful sensation. Leaning back, she felt someone's breasts against her back. The old Joanne would have been repulsed. The old Joanne would have moved away. The old Joanne was gone forever.

The hands moved away from Joanne's breasts, leaving her feeling a bit unfulfilled. She turned around to see Anne standing close to her and smiling. Without a word, Joanne took the bar of soap from Anne and began to rub it over her chest. Anne put her hands on Joanne's shoulders, staring into her eyes.

"I should be doing this for Sam," Joanne said with a grin.

Anne cocked her head toward Sam. "I think he's being taken care of."

Joanne chuckled when she saw her husband being bathed by Liz. "I guess you're right."

The communal bathing wasn't intended to be sexual, but to Joanne it was arousing. She loved the feeling of Anne's slippery skin as her hands moved over her stomach and down to her mons. Anne opened her legs so Joanne could stroke her vulva with her soapy hand.

The two women took turns washing each other. When they, as well as the others, were finished, they left the shower. There was little conversation as they dried themselves before retiring to the house. Marge passed out clean white towels for each of them to sit on when they gathered in the living room.

Marc and Sam refreshed the cocktails while Don built a roaring fire. Marge turned on the stereo, sending soft music into the room. They all made themselves comfortable on the leather couches, sitting with their spouses. Two table lamps and the orange glow of the fire was the only light in the room.

Joanne took a sip of her wine and then lifted her glass. "I'd like to toast all of you for helping me."

The rest of the group raised their glasses, saying, "Here! Here!" before taking a drink.

"How do you like being a full time interior decorator?" Marge asked.

"It's wonderful. I never thought I would be able to fulfill my dream," Joanne replied. "Everything has happened so fast. It's just now sinking in. That's not the only thing I want to thank you for. I also want to thank you for helping me overcome my hang-ups. They all seem so silly now."

"We're glad we could help, Jo," Liz said. "Its kind of fun—isn't it?"

Joanne grinned and nodded. "I still have a hard time believing it's me. I would have never thought it was possible for me to sit around in the nude, let alone enjoy it." She put her hand on Sam's knee. "I'm also very lucky to have a man that's so understanding and loving. He put up with me when I was a bitch and now he is supporting me as I'm discovering who I am."

"I never thought you were a bitch, Honey," Sam said, patting her hand with his.

"Well, I was! I wasn't a very understanding wife either. You never made unreasonable demands, but I refused to try to do anything to really please you."

"You're just a late bloomer, like me," Liz said. "One of the best lessons I've learned is I don't have to live in the past. No matter how things were, they never have to be that way again. You're lucky, Jo, you're realizing it while you and Sam are still young."

"Jo isn't the only one that has made changes. It wasn't all that easy for me to let go when she started to spread her wings. Having great sex together is one thing, but seeing Jo with another guy or woman was a little unsettling for me at first. I had to get past my own feelings of insecurity first," Sam said.

Joanne chuckled and squeezed Sam's knee. "You? How do you think I felt? I thought I was a bad lover as it was. When I saw you, I thought I was going to lose you."

"No way, you're stuck with me," Sam said with a big grin.

When Joanne said, "I'd rather be stuck BY you." Everyone laughed.

"I guess we both learned, didn't we, Baby? It's almost funny when I think about just how little we really knew about each other. We may not know everything yet, but we're going to have a good time finding out." Joanne leaned close, kissing Sam tenderly on the lips.

"Just be honest and open. Don't push one another to do something the other may not want to do and you'll be fine. One of the greatest gifts you two can give one another is love, unconditional love," Don said. "Don't be afraid to ask and don't be afraid to say no. When either of you does say no, make sure you respect the other's wishes."

Sam and Joanne nodded as Don talked. They held hands, both of them thinking about what was said.

"You'll soon learn this isn't about sex," Don continued. "While we all love sex, it isn't why we're so close. We're close because we enjoy being together as friends as well as sexual partners. I love Marge with all my heart. I wouldn't do anything to hurt her. If she asked me to stop doing some of the things we do, I'd stop without question."

"What if you still wanted to have sex with other people, Don?" Joanne asked.

"Relationships are a series of compromises, Jo. No one can be right all the time. If I wanted to and Marge didn't, we'd talk. I know she wouldn't ask me to stop doing something, whether it is sex or golf, if she didn't have a good reason. We would work it out together, and we'd do it without fighting.

"It's very easy to lose your cool and start saying things you don't mean when things aren't going your way. It's easier to lash out than to be honest and reasonable. If I wanted Marge to stop, it would be easy to call her a slut and rant and rave about how she behaves, but it wouldn't be fair. If I was serious about it, I would explain why I felt that way and give her a chance to tell me how she feels."

"Our group is very small, we want it that way," Anne said. "We don't just invite anyone to join us. I wouldn't have sex with someone I couldn't trust and respect. Like my brother said, our group is about more than sex."

"This may sound dumb, but what's the difference between swinging and swapping?" Joanne asked.

"We don't consider what we do swinging or swapping," Marc said. "What we do is share. When I think of swinging, I think of parties where people have sex with each other regardless of how they may feel about the other person. I don't think any of us are like that.

"As far as swapping goes, I guess what we do is close at times, but I don't like the way it sounds. To me, it sounds like an exchange—you know, I'll have sex with your spouse and you have sex with mine. While it may end up that way, it isn't necessarily because it was planned—it's just the way it worked out.

"For Don, Anne, Marge and me, it's a little different. We have spent the night with each other and planned it. As you all know, we have a very special relationship and always have. I think swapping, in the true sense of the word, removes choice. If Sam and Jerry decided to swap, you may not feel you had a choice in it. You, or Liz, may feel you had to do it."

"Most of the time, after we have a party, we go to bed with our spouse," Marge said. "Sometimes two couples may end up in the same bed. Other times, we sleep with someone that isn't our spouse. I've woken up with Anne or Liz in bed with me before."

"How about when you just feel horny? Is it okay to start fooling around with someone else in the group and have sex even if there isn't a party going on?" Sam asked.

Sam's question drew chuckles and laughter from the rest of the group. He began to blush, feeling embarrassed by his ignorance.

"Sam, that's usually how a party starts," Jerry said. "If you start fooling around with Liz, chances are I'm not going to sit around and watch. Although I do like to watch her enjoying herself, at least for a few minutes."

"Yeah, I guess I see what you mean, Jerry. Sorry for the dumb question."

"It wasn't a dumb question, Sam. You don't have to feel anything you want to ask is dumb. It's better to ask than to make a mistake. That's true in most cases, not just sex," Jerry said.

Joanne leaned close to Sam and whispered in his ear. When he nodded, Joanne giggled.

"Sam and I have something to tell all of you. We have decided to try to have a baby," Joanne said.

Before they knew what was happening, Don, Jerry and Marc were on their feet. They all shook hands with Sam, congratulating him. The girls jumped up and began hugging Joanne. They switched and the men hugged Joanne while the women hugged Sam.

"When?" Liz asked.

"When I'm finished with my pills, Liz. We want to start as soon as we can." Joanne grinned. "I won't be able to screw any of you guys for a while, not until I'm pregnant at least."

Don put his arms around Joanne, picked her up and placed her back on the couch. Kneeling in front of her, he pushed her knees apart. Don looked up at Joanne, smiled and said, "This is for good luck." Leaning forward, he kissed her sex.

Joanne giggled and said, "Thank you, Don."

One by one, the men knelt between her legs. They kissed her vulva, wished her good luck and got up. Once the men were finished, Liz did the same thing. Marge and Anne also kissed Joanne between the legs.

When Anne finished kissing Joanne's sex, she walked on her knees to Sam. Taking his penis in her hand, she kissed the end and then took it in her mouth. She drew his flaccid member into her mouth, rubbing her nose in his pubic hair. Anne released him and stood up.

"Good luck, Sam," Anne said and then she kissed his lips.

Liz and Marge also kissed his penis and wished him luck. By the time Liz released his member Sam was hard. Joanne scrambled off the couch, leaned over and took her husband's penis in her mouth. She bobbed her head up and down, moaning around his shaft.

"Was that for good luck, Jo?" Marge asked when Joanne stood up.

"No, that was because I love sucking cock!"

"Just his cock?" Marc asked.

Joanne began fondling Marc's penis. She knelt, took him into her mouth and began sucking him until he was getting erect. Pulling back, she looked up and smiled. "No, I like sucking any of your cocks. I love sucking Sam's cock!"

Anne sat on the edge of the couch. She put her hands under her knees, pulling her legs back and apart. "If you're going to suck Marc's cock, I want Sam to eat my pussy!"

"My pleasure," Sam said as he knelt next to his wife. He leaned forward and licked the length of Anne's vulva as Joanne watched.

Sam lifted his head, turned to Joanne and they kissed. Their arms went around one another as their tongues darted in and out of each other's mouths. After several moments, they parted. Smiling at one another, they rose and returned to the couch.

Marge straightened her towel before she sat next to Joanne. She winked at Anne as she put her hand on the younger woman's leg.

"So tell us, how long before you start trying?" Marge asked Joanne.

"I have fourteen pills left, so in about a month."

"That's wonderful. You do know about healthy sperm count, don't you?"

Anne and Liz looked at Marge, wondering what she was talking about. Joanne just shrugged her shoulders.

"It's important to make sure Sam's sperm count is high when you start trying to get pregnant. It's best if he refrains from ejaculating for five or six weeks before you two begin." Marge was having a hard time keeping a straight face as she talked to Joanne.

Anne caught on and nodded. "Marge is right, you have to make sure he's potent so you get pregnant quickly." Anne nudged Liz.

"When Jerry and I decided to have Megan, we didn't have sex for two months," Liz added, joining in on the charade.

Joanne's eyes opened wide as she glanced from one of the women to the other. "You mean Sam and I have to stop having sex?" Her voice shuttered as she asked the question.

"Well, Sam should, but you don't really have to. I'm sure Don, Marc and Jerry will be happy to help you," Marge said and then she giggled. "Of course, you know I'm more than willing to satisfy your needs, dear."

"Are you guys pulling our leg?" Sam asked.

"No we're not," Don said. "Having a strong sperm count is important to make sure the baby is healthy. Don't worry about your pretty wife, we'll be more than happy to make sure she doesn't get too horny. We know how difficult it can be for a woman if she isn't getting enough sex. We don't want Joanne to attack you."

"Having to start over is a pain in the ass," Marc said. "It took Anne and I several tries before we conceived Sally."

"Joanne? What about me?" Sam said.

"I found cold showers helpful," Don said.

"You can start sleeping in another bedroom too. It'll be better if you don't see Joanne naked or have too much contact with her," Marge said.

Joanne's mouth curled into a smile. She turned away so Sam couldn't see her grinning when she realized their friends were kidding. Composing herself, Joanne got up and went to Don. She pressed her naked body against his, stretched up and kissed him. Extending one of her hands, Joanne invited Marc and Jerry to join the hug.

The three men held Joanne, running their hands over her body. She gave each of them a kiss, hiding her face from Sam so he wouldn't see her grinning.

"You guys are the best friends we could ever ask for," Joanne said. "Sam and I really appreciate your offer to keep me happy. I don't know if I'd be able to make it without your help."

"Just let us know when you need to get some relief," Liz said as she joined the hug. She rubbed her hand over Joanne's butt, giving it a squeeze.

Looking over her shoulder at her husband, Joanne said, "Honey, what would we do without these guys? Aren't they wonderful?"

"Yeah, they're just great," Sam said sarcastically. "Just great."

"You know, being naked with you guys for so long has me horny as hell. Would one of you please help me?" Joanne asked, looking right into Don's eyes.

"Of course we will, Sweetie. Anytime you want," Sam told her.

It was all Joanne could do to keep from laughing as she reached for Don's penis. She fondled him for a moment, feeling his member respond. Marc put his hand between Joanne's legs, rubbing her as she played with Don.

"If I get this nice and hard will you fuck me?" Joanne asked. "Marc is getting my pussy ready."

"If you need it I will, Jo," Don replied. He began massaging her breasts while she stroked him.

"Oh thank you!" Joanne lowered herself to her knees. "Are you sure you don't mind?"

"No, we're all willing to help a friend," Don replied as Joanne took his semi rigid penis in her mouth.

Marc stretched out on his back, gripped Joanne's hips and pulled her crotch to his mouth. She wiggled as she settled on his face, moaning around Don's penis. Sam sat on the couch watching his wife. His penis stood up and began to throb as he watched Joanne sliding her mouth up and down Don's thick shaft.

Marge and Liz sat next to Sam. Marge took one of his arms, smiled and put it around her shoulders. Liz took his other arm, putting it around her shoulders. The two women pulled Sam's hands to their breasts, holding them against their soft mounds.

"Isn't that beautiful, Sam? I think Don and Marc are just so understanding," Liz said.

Sam squirmed as he continued to watch his wife and the two men. When Joanne removed her mouth from Don's penis and began rubbing it against her face, Sam tightened his grip on Marge and Liz's breasts. Joanne lifted Don's penis, pushed her face against him and began to lick and kiss his scrotum.

Joanne shifted so she was facing her husband. She put her hands on the floor and wiggled her bottom at Don while smiling at Sam. Don knelt behind her and guided his erection into her wet vagina. Joanne closed her eyes, groaning as Don's member filled her.

Marc moved so he was kneeling in front of Joanne. He waggled his penis near her face. Joanne grinned, opened her mouth and moaned as Marc slid his member over her lips.

Sam couldn't hold still while he stared at his wife sucking on Marc and being screwed by Don. Joanne was noisy, grunting and moaning as the two penises moved in and out of her. When Sam tried to remove his hand from Marge's shoulders and reach for his throbbing erection, Marge grabbed his wrist.

"You'll get used to it, Sam. Maybe it would help if you played with my pussy. Just don't watch her and you'll do fine," Marge said.

Sam tried to divert his attention, but it was fruitless. He couldn't keep his eyes off his wife while Don and Marc were servicing her. He ran his fingers through Marge's labia, but it didn't help.

"Hey, Jerry, want to give me a hand here, I need to take a break," Don said as he pulled his penis out of Joanne.

"Sure, anything for our friends." Jerry smiled at Sam while he took Don's place behind Joanne.

For the next twenty minutes, Don, Marc and Jerry took turns with Joanne. When one of them felt they were going to cum, they would switch with one another. Marge, Anne and Liz tried to distract Sam, but he was just getting more and more excited.

Looking up at her husband, Joanne could see his discomfort. Feeling sorry for him, she moved away from Marc, who was behind her, and rose up on her knees. She went to Sam, placed her hands on his knees and fixed her eyes on his. Sam's face was contorted with lust as he stared down at his wife.

"Sam, would you please play with my boobs while these guys fuck me? You know how much I love that," Joanne said.

"What?" Sam asked in a surprised voice.

Joanne moved up, rubbing her breasts against his legs and then his chest. She put her mouth to his, kissing him tenderly. She put her knees on either side of his legs. Leaning forward, she pushed one of her breasts against his mouth. She could feel his penis against her mons as she wiggled her shoulders, rubbing her breast against his face.

Liz stood behind Joanne, running her hands over her back and sides. She moved one hand to Joanne's breast, feeding it to Sam. Liz kissed Joanne's neck and then whispered in her ear. When Joanne nodded, Liz reached between her legs.

Wrapping her hand around Sam's throbbing penis, Liz stroked him a couple of times. Joanne moved her body against her husband's as Liz aligned Sam's member with her vagina. When she sank down on him, Sam let out a groan.

Sam put his hands on his wife's shoulders. He pushed her back, looking up at her. "What are you doing? I thought I had to..."

Joanne and the others began laughing. Sam glanced around, realizing he had been hoodwinked. When he began to smile, Joanne started to move up and down.

"Got you, didn't we?" Joanne said.

"You sure did. I thought you were serious."

Joanne settled on Sam. She gave him a deep kiss, pushing her tongue into his mouth. Sam wrapped his arms around her, hugging her to his body.

"Honey, there is no way in the world I could go without having your big cock in my pussy for a week, let alone a month. I love these guys, but no one fucks me like you do." Joanne kissed him again. "Now—are you going to fuck me or not?"

Sam began laughing. He gripped Joanne's hips, lifted her up and began pushing up into her. She moaned as he pumped his penis in and out of her. After a few moments, Sam lifted Joanne off of him. He flipped her onto the couch and stood over her.

Marge and Anne were sitting next to Joanne, one on either side of her. Sam glanced at Marge, moved between her legs and slid into her vagina. While he pushed in and out of her, he smiled at Joanne. Sam wanted to show her what if felt like to watch, but when Joanne mouthed, "I love you," he pulled out of Marge and kissed his wife.

Sam scooped Joanne off the couch, putting her on his shoulder like a sack of grain. As Sam carried her toward the stairs to the bedrooms, Joanne waved at her friends. She relaxed, reaching down to stroke Sam's butt as he carried her up the steps.

When he got to one of the guest rooms, Sam pushed the door open with his foot. He carried Joanne to the bed, flipped her onto her back and pulled at the covers before he climbed on top of her. She lifted herself so he could work the covers out from their bodies. Joanne put her arms around his neck, pulled him down and began to kiss him.

"You're not mad at me are you?" Joanne asked between kisses.

"No, not at all. I like a good joke as much as the next guy."

"Did you really think you couldn't cum for a month?" Joanne rolled Sam onto his side next to her.

"Yes, you guys had me convinced."

Reaching between them, Joanne began fondling his erection. "I'm sorry. It wasn't meant to hurt you, Sammy. We were just having a little fun at your expense."

Sam nodded. "I thought you just wanted the other guys to fuck you instead of me. Maybe I can't give you what you need."

"Sam! How could you say such a thing? You know I love you."

Sam kissed her nose. He chuckled and said, "Got you!"

Joanne squeezed his penis firmly. "Are we even now?"

"No, I still have to screw Marge, Anne and Liz."

Joanne giggled. "Will you? You can do whatever you want with me."

"Anything?"

Joanne nodded.

Sam moved his hand between Joanne's legs. He probed her vagina with his finger, feeling her slick juices. When he moved his finger to her tight anus, he asked her again. "Anything?"

Joanne's body stiffened when her husband's finger pressed against her. He moved in a small circular motion, feeling her anus flinch uncontrollably. Sam continued to touch her, moving from her vagina to her anus, coating her with her own juices. Each time his finger touched her; Joanne felt her stomach clutch as she anticipated his next move.

While curious about it, Joanne felt anal sex wasn't something she would enjoy. She thought back to her childhood and the things her mother had told her about her body. She had been taught that a girl's body was to remain covered. That sex was for reproduction and not pleasure. The relentless lectures had made Joanne think sex was dirty.

Over the past weeks, she had realized just how wrong her mother had been. How she had been lead to believe things that just weren't true. Joanne had been overcoming the things that had kept her from enjoying sex in the past, but she wasn't sure about what her husband was asking her to do.

Sam moved around on the bed so his head was at her mons. He stretched out with his feet above Joanne's head. While he continued to use his fingers on her labia and anus, Joanne began stroking his penis.

Joanne looked at his member as her hand moved slowly over its length. She pulled the velvety head to her lips, kissing it softly. Sam's penis jerked when her tongue flicked out to collect the drop of fluid that oozed from the slit. She smiled, kissing it again.

Using her lips and tongue, Joanne toyed with the bulbous head. She traced the ridge where the mushroom met the shaft, feeling the change in texture. Joanne thought about the first time she tasted a penis and how much different she felt about it now.

Joanne had been dating a boy in high school. They went out together for most of her senior year. It was two weeks before the prom when she and her boyfriend had stopped in their favorite place to make out. Joanne had prevented him from touching her below her waist. On occasion, she would let him fondle her breasts. This was one of those occasions.

The boy gripped and released her breasts over her top while they kissed each other. He moved his hand to the hem of her shirt, slipping under it. It was a move he tried many times, but was turned away when Joanne removed his hand. This night, she let his hand remain under her top.

When she felt the boy's hand cover her breast, insulated only by her bra, she stiffened, but didn't stop him. As their play progressed, Joanne allowed him to touch her bare breast for the first time. He worked his fingers into the cup of her bra and found her nipple. Joanne fought with the feelings of guilt and pleasure—pleasure won. Surprising herself, she didn't protest when he unhooked her bra.

The boy took one of Joanne's hands and placed it on his crotch. She remained motionless as she felt his erect penis through his jeans. The boy began begging, asking her to play with him as he rolled her nipples between his fingers.

Joanne refused at first, but once again the pleasure of his hands on her breasts and his hot kisses clouded her thinking. She didn't realize the boy had unzipped his pants until she felt his naked penis against her hand. The boy used his hand to wrap hers around his shaft. He moved her hand up and down his penis, showing Joanne what he wanted her to do. She complied, moving her hand after he removed his.

The boy lifted her top, exposing her breasts. Leaning over, he began to kiss them. When he took one of her nipples in his mouth, Joanne tightened her grip on his member. She didn't move her hand as he suckled her, flicking his tongue against her hardened nipple. Joanne moaned out loud while the boy drove her crazy.

When he put his hand between her legs and rubbed her though her jeans, Joanne allowed it for a few moments. She could feel herself losing control so she stopped him from touching her there, but let him continue to suck on her nipples. She began to move her hand again, feeling his penis throb in her hand.

The next few minutes were still fuzzy in her mind. She could remember the boy talking in her ear, but couldn't remember the words. Before she knew what was happening, she found herself bent over and his penis against her lips. The boy begged her to kiss it—she did. He begged her to suck it, and against her better judgment, she opened her mouth. The moment she let his penis past her lips, he bucked his hips. His penis erupted as he shoved it in as far as he could.

Joanne recoiled, gagged and then threw up when his semen filled her mouth. She managed to wrench her head out of his hands, moved across the seat and leaned against the door. Crying, she fixed her clothing while the boy cussed at her for puking on him. He called her names, telling her she was a slut. Joanne opened the door of the car, got out and walked home. She never dated him again and didn't go to her prom.

Joanne realized she was daydreaming. She took Sam's penis into her mouth, sucking it in as far as she could. When she felt herself begin to gag, she stopped, but didn't remove it. She had been trying to learn to relax and overcome the reflex. Sam was still probing her vagina and playing around her anus. She moaned around his member as he applied pressure to her puckered rectum.

Sam pressed against her anus once again. His finger penetrated her, causing Joanne to gasp. Wanting to please her husband, and see if she liked what he was doing, she tried to relax. She didn't think of what he was doing, instead, she tried to concentrate on how she felt. Sam's finger moved deeper. She pulled her mouth off his penis and waited.

Joanne felt like Sam had something much larger than his finger up her butt. She fought the urge to push and try to expel his finger. As he wiggled the digit, pushing it deeper into her rectum, Joanne felt her body respond. Much to her surprise, it was pleasure, rather than pain she felt. Her thoughts weren't of a nasty act like she thought they would be.

After a few minutes, Joanne wiggled away from Sam. She turned around so her head was even with his so she could kiss him. Joanne gave him several tender kisses as she snuggled against his body.

"Did I hurt you?" Sam asked.

"No."

"Did it bother you when I put my finger in your ass?"

"No."

"Do you want to try it—anal sex?"

"Yes, but not tonight, okay? I want to make love with you tonight. I want you to touch me there, but I don't want you to put your cock in me, not in my butt. Please give me some time to get used to the idea."

"No problem, Sweetie. If you don't want to do it, we won't. Not just tonight, but forever it that's what you want." Sam kissed her. "Deal?"

Joanne nodded. She pulled him on top of her as she rolled onto her back. Sam positioned himself between her legs. He moved until his penis was at her opening and then slid it into her vagina. Joanne lifted her legs, wrapping them around his hips.

Sam moved slowly at first. He slid in and out of Joanne, using the full length of his penis to stroke the inner walls of her vagina. They moved as one, meeting each other's thrusts. Sam didn't touch her anus again. They made love together while trading words of endearment.

Joanne reached her orgasm first. She clutched at her husband with her legs, arms and vagina. Sam maintained his steady pace, plunging in and out as her climax peaked. Joanne had another orgasm when Sam's penis began to throb and shoot his semen into her vagina.

Sated, they lay together on the bed. Sam held Joanne as he rolled onto his side. They caught their breath, kissing between their gasps for air. Their breathing began to return to normal. Joanne cuddled against him, feeling the warmth of his body against hers. They fell asleep in each other's arms.

In the living room, Marc, Anne, Don, Marge, Liz and Jerry sat talking. They had all had sex after Joanne and Sam left them, each of them with their spouse. Don got up, went to the fireplace and closed the glass doors.

"That was a pretty rotten thing we did to poor Sam," Don said as he went back to the couch to sit with Marge. "Funny, but rotten."

"I think it was hilarious! The look on Sam's face when we told him he couldn't have sex for a month was priceless," Marge said.

Liz chuckled and said, "From what Jo has told me, she was really looking forward to having a little fun with the rest of us."

"I have a feeling she had a limited sex life," Anne said. "I get the feeling that up until the trip to Florida, Sam was the only man she had ever screwed. Not that it's a bad thing."

"Sam was her only lover before. After the night in Florida, Jo told me she loved having all the attention she received. Jo loves Sam to pieces, but I think she wants to experiment a little," Liz said. "We have become pretty close lately."

"I just hope those two can handle it. It takes a special kind of person to be able to do what we do without getting jealous," Marc said.

"Well, speaking from experience, I can tell you it's much easier with you guys. I don't feel the least bit threatened when we have our get-togethers. I always thought I'd go nuts if I ever saw Liz with another man, but the opposite is true. It really turns me on," Jerry said. "At first, I felt weird about it, but not anymore."

"I think that once you realize your wife isn't leaving you, it lets you really enjoy seeing her so turned on—I know I love to watch Marge. Jealousy is just an emotion. I think we get jealous for several reasons; one is fear of the unknown. Once we can conquer that fear, or jealousy, we can have fun and not worry," Don said. "Right now, I'm going to take my wife to bed."

Everyone agreed it was time to call it a night. They went upstairs, said goodnight and headed to the bedrooms. Jerry and Liz took one of the guest rooms while Marge, Don, Anne and Marc went to the master bedroom. They all got into the king-sized bed, cuddling together. Anne faced her husband. She reached across his body and put her hand on Marge's side. When Marc noticed Anne was stroking his sister, he switched places with Anne.

Anne and Marge turned so they were facing one another. They kissed briefly as they wiggled closer together. Don and Marc spooned against the two women, holding them in their lovers' sandwich.

When Marge woke up the next morning, she worked her way out of bed, trying not to disturb the others. She went into the bathroom, took a shower and put on a terrycloth robe. Marge went downstairs to the kitchen to make coffee, but found the pot full. Glancing out to the pool, she saw Joanne and Sam were swimming.

Marge poured a cup of coffee. She went out to the covered pool area, holding the warm cup in both hands. Pulling a chair out, she sat at one of the tables to watch her young friends playing in the pool.

Joanne saw Marge. She chuckled as she waved and then hugged Sam. Joanne said something to her husband, leaving the pool when Sam nodded. After climbing out of the water, Joanne dried off, wrapped the towel around her waist, and joined Marge at the table.

"Good morning, Jo. Did you sleep well last night?" Marge asked.

"I sure did! Thanks for last night. I had a good time. Sam isn't mad at all."

"I didn't really expect him to take us seriously. He was a good sport about it though."

Joanna nodded and then giggled. "He was a madman in bed last night. I love it when he makes love to me like that!"

"When did you two decide to start your family?" Marge took a sip of her coffee, glancing past Joanne to watch Sam swimming laps.

"We started talking about it when we got home from Florida."

"I'm so happy for you and Sam. It's very exciting, isn't it?"

"Exciting and scary, Marge. It's a big step as you well know."

"You'll be surprised how much fun it can be raising a family. I didn't plan on getting pregnant with Jack, but I'm not sorry I did."

"I hope our kids will be like yours and Anne's. You guys have great kids!"

"We try to be understanding parents, Jo. I still remember how it was to be a teenager. My parents were very straight-laced and it made it hard on Marc and me. They weren't supportive of us at all. When Jack, and then Kim were born, Don and I decided we weren't going to be like that."

"When I first met you and your families, I thought you guys were way too laidback where the kids were concerned. Once I got to know them and talked to you guys, I realized that you were anything but. What you guys told me about not being able to stop them from doing some of the things they do makes sense to me now.

"I had never thought about the fact parents almost force their children to lie. They preach that sex is bad and then ask them what they did when they went out with so and so. I know when I was a teen I didn't tell my parents what I did, even though my sexual experiences were very limited. I could never talk to my parents about things like sex."

"We want our kids to feel they can talk to us about anything. If Kim wants me to tell her how to have anal sex, I'll tell her. Anne is the same way with Sally and Tom. Neither of us believes in a double standard where the kids are concerned. We don't tell the girls they can't do something the boys can."

"I have an older brother. He could get away with murder, but I wasn't allowed much freedom at all. My dad would have skinned me if he knew I had even kissed a boy while I was young." Joanne laughed out loud. "I can't wait to see my dad's face when I'm pregnant. He may not be able to handle the fact I actually fucked."

Sam climbed out of the pool. He stood at the pool's edge, drying himself. After wrapping the towel around his waist, he came over to the table. Sam asked if anyone wanted a fresh cup of coffee. Joanne nodded and Marge handed him her cup.

Anne came out to the pool area with a cup of coffee. She sat at the table with Joanne and Marge, wishing them a good morning.

"Where are our husbands?" Marge asked.

"They're getting up. Don was in the shower and Marc was waiting for him to finish. I think Liz and Jerry are up too," Anne said.

Sam came back with coffee for Joanne and Marge. After setting the cups on the table, he greeted Anne.

"Good morning, Anne," Sam said. "Cute practical joke last night."

"I thought so," Anne said. "Sometimes men are so gullible. Did you really believe us?"

Sam nodded. "Yeah, I sure did."

"Well, Jo, you are one lucky girl. Not many men would let their wife do what Sam was willing to let you do."

"I know, that's why I love him so much." Joanne reached out, taking Sam's hand in hers. "He's such a sweetie."

Don came into the room with Bob and Dianne following behind him. After everyone said hi, Joanne got up.

"I'm going to go put something on," Joanne said. "I have to learn to bring extra clothes when I come over here."

"You can help yourself to anything in my room, Jo," Marge said. "There are clean undies in the dresser. I have pants, tops and dresses in the closet."

"Thanks, I'll take you up on your offer."

Joanne went up to Marge's room. She removed her towel, folding it before she placed it on a chair. While she was looking in the dresser for a pair of panties, Marc came out of the bathroom.

"Morning, Jo," Marc said.

"Oh! You scared me, Marc. Good morning." Joanne glanced at his naked body. "I'm looking for clean underwear, Marge said they were in the dresser."

"Try over there, this is Don's dresser." Marc opened a drawer, pulled out a pair of boxers and put them on.

Joanne went to the dresser. Marc came over and pointed at one of the drawers, telling Joanne she could find what she was looking for in it. She found a pair of bikini panties and put them on.

Joanne began to chuckle. Marc asked her what was so funny.

"Up until a few weeks ago, I didn't like to dress or undress in front of my husband. Now, for some strange reason, I find dressing in front of you perfectly normal. Weird, isn't it?"

"No, not to me anyway."

Joanne went to the closet she looked through the clothes hanging there, picking a simple cotton dress. Back in the bedroom, she slipped it over her head. Don had put on a pair of sweatpants and a tee shirt. The two of them left to go downstairs.

"Paul and Brad are painting at the new house. I'm having them prime the interior walls," Bob was saying when Joanne and Marc came out to the pool area. "They have been working their butts off the past week."

"How is Lisa?" Joanne asked as she sat next to Dianne.

"She's doing fine. Lisa had Megan, Crystal and Yuko over at our house last night," Dianne said. "They're planning a trip this summer. Lisa said they want to go camping up north somewhere for a week."

"That sounds like fun. I've never been camping," Joanne said. "Are we still getting together on Tuesday to go over the color charts and fabrics for your house, Dianne?"

"Yes, I can't wait. I know Bob is anxious to have you get started on the clubhouse too. He decided to start from scratch—carpeting and all."

Bob slid his chair close to Dianne. "Maybe we can get started next weekend, Jo."

"Sorry, I have to go down to Florida to start on the house and the yacht. I'll be back the following weekend. We can get started then if that's okay."

"It depends on how long it's going to take. I'd like to open on May first. That only gives us three months to complete the clubhouse," Bob said.

Nodding, Joanne said, "I'll stop at the clubhouse after I meet with Dianne on Tuesday. You can give me an idea of what you have in mind. I'll work on it while I'm in Florida so we'll have something to look at when I get back."

"It looks like you're going to be busy, Jo. I hope you have time to decorate your new house," Dianne said.

"She sure is going to be busy," Marge said. "Did she tell you the good news?"

Dianne shook her head and then looked at Joanne.

"Sam and I have decided to have a baby. We're going to get started in about a month."

"Congratulations!" Dianne said loud enough for everyone to hear her.

"Well, I'm not sure congratulations are in order yet. Sam still has to knock me up." Joanne giggled and yelled, "Hey, Sam, want to go practice?"

Sam shook his head. "Sorry, Baby, I can't cum until you're ready to conceive."

Joanne stuck her tongue out at Sam. They both laughed and then Dianne asked what was going on. When Joanne told her about the joke they had played on Sam, Dianne began to laugh too.

"Is anyone hungry?" Marge asked. "I'm going to make breakfast."

Anne, Liz, Joanne and Dianne said they'd help Marge in the kitchen. They went into the house to cook bacon and eggs for the group. The men stayed out on the enclosed patio, talking about the golf course.

Thirty minutes later, Marge called the men in to eat. The group sat at the dinning room table, eating breakfast and talking. The men continued to talk about the golf course while the women talked about the Florida house.

Liz interrupted her husband, asking him when he thought Marge, Don, Anne and Marc would close on the house.

"We're closing next Friday, Honey. Why?"

"We were just wondering how long it would be before we could go down for a vacation," Liz told Jerry.

"It all depends on the construction I guess. I would think it'd take a couple of months. Jo will be going down to work with the contractor before that."

"The guest house will be ready before the main house is, we can always stay there," Anne said.

"That's very true. We'll know more when we get down there and talk to a contractor. I understand Jack Waters, the guy that's working on the kid's yacht, used work on homes as a cabinetmaker. We can ask him if he can recommend a good contractor to do the work," Don said.

"You and Don should buy an airline," Anne said to Marc. "We could pay for it with the money we'd spend on flying back and forth to Florida."

Marc laughed as he shook his head. "That's just what we need."

"Anne may not be too far off," Sam said. "I don't think buying an airline is smart, but there are groups that you can invest in that do lease planes for private and corporate travel."

"Would there be any advantage to getting involved in a group like that?" Don asked.

"I'll do some investigation. There may be some tax advantages for you. We would have to put the partnership in the charter company's name, but that wouldn't be all bad. Give me a few weeks to check it out," Sam said.

"Don't spend a lot of time on it. It sounds like it would be very expensive," Don told Sam.

"Don't worry about it, I'll do it in my spare time," Sam said.

The group finished their breakfast. The men went back out by the pool to drink coffee while the women cleaned up. When they were finished in the kitchen, the women joined their husbands.

Chapter 7


"Ahoy there, permission to come aboard," Jack said as he and the others came up to the boat.

"Hi, come aboard," Eddie said.

Eddie was in the cockpit working on the tackle. He helped Kim and Sally aboard, holding their hands as they stepped into the cockpit. Once the two girls were onboard, he took the bags from Jack and Tom, handing them back to them when they were onboard.

"Let's go inside, I've just been fiddling around while I waited for you guys," Eddie said.

When they went into the cabin, Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally saw that the settee was made into a bed and the airbed was set up. Jenny and Kathy were finishing putting sheets on the airbed.

"Hi," Jenny said, looking up from what she was doing.

"Hi, guys. We could have done that," Kim said.

"Why? We don't expect you to make our beds," Kathy said. "You guys are sleeping in the staterooms tonight."

"We can sleep here," Kim waved her hand, pointing at the two beds. "We don't want to take your rooms."

"Don't be silly! You're our guests. We insist you sleep in the staterooms tonight," Jenny said, standing with her hands on her hips. "Put your things away. We'll get ready for bed, make some popcorn and chill out for a little while."

"Come on," Kathy said. "We'll get ready and then the guys can change."

Kim and Sally followed the two girls down to the staterooms. Kim took the bag with their clothing into the guest stateroom. She put it on the bed, unzipped it and began to pull out a few things. Kim handed Sally the small case with the toiletries, asking her to take it to the head. Jenny stuck her head in the room and Kim invited her in.

"What do you guys wear to sleep in?" Kim asked.

Jenny giggled. "Nothing, but Kathy and I usually wear shirts and panties to lounge around in. We can wear more if that would make you uncomfortable."

"It doesn't bother me," Kim said. "Are you sure you don't want to sleep down here?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Make yourselves at home. Just don't be surprised if you see us running around half undressed. It gets pretty busy in the head in the morning." Jenny left the stateroom to get ready for bed too.

Sally came back. Kim had removed her clothes, and was putting on a Detroit Lions jersey. When Sally realized Kim wasn't going to put anything else on, she grinned.

"I guess I better put on a pair of panties or something," Sally said as she removed her sundress. "I hope Jack doesn't mind."

"Why would he mind?" Kim asked.

"He liked it when I didn't wear any tonight."

Kim laughed. "I'm sure he did. From what I saw you two doing in the back seat, you liked it too."

Sally giggled and nodded her head. She took a pair of bikini panties out of the bag and pulled them on. After she found a jersey like Kim's, she put it on too.

Kim and Sally put away the clothes they had been wearing. Sally opened the door for Kim, following her into the passageway. When they met Jenny and Kathy, they all began to laugh. Jenny and Kathy were also wearing jerseys; theirs were Miami Dolphins.

"I guess great minds think alike," Jenny said.

Kim nodded. "I love these things for lounging around in. You just have to be careful when you bend over." Kim leaned forward, letting the oversized V-neck jersey fall away from her chest. "See what I mean? Anyone that's looking gets a show."

The girls went up to the salon. Jack, Tom, Eddie and Brad were sitting at the table. Eddie had a chart spread out, showing Jack and Tom some of the places they fished along the southern coast.

"Want to listen to music or watch television?" Jenny asked as the girls walked past the table.

"Whatever you want to do is fine with me," Kim replied.

Kathy went to the stereo, turned it on and adjusted the volume to a comfortable level. "We'll listen to quiet music so we can talk."

Kim and Sally stood close to one another, waiting to see what Jenny and Kathy were going to do. Jenny got onto the folded out settee, inviting the other girls to join her. The four of them formed a circle on the bed, sitting with their legs crossed Indian style.

"How long are you guys going to be down here?" Kathy asked. "I forgot what you told me."

"We go back next Monday unless our parents change it. They're going to be here next Thursday for a few days," Kim replied.

"That's right, something about your new house. I remember now. Where did you say the house was?" Jenny asked.

"In West Palm Beach. We've only been there twice; I'm not really sure where it is. Our parents' lawyer found it. He said something about it being a good investment for our parents," Kim said. "It used to be owned by some rock star or something like that. The owner got into trouble with taxes and had to sell it."

"The band was Dragon Fire," Sally said. "I have a couple of their CDs."

"I heard about that house, it was on the news a little while ago. The cops busted a bunch of people at a party there because of drugs," Kathy said. "That's a huge house as I remember from the pictures on television."

"Yeah, it's big," Jenny said, "very big. I think one of the reasons our parents bought it is because we can keep the yacht there."

"That'll be cool, you can use the yacht like a guest house," Kathy said.

"There's a guest house on the property too. There's also an apartment above the garage for the help, but we're going to let our captain stay in it. It's a pretty cool house," Kim said. "Maybe we can have a party when we're down here."

"We have a fishing club meeting next Thursday, would you guys like to go with us?" Jenny asked. "You could meet some of our friends."

"I'd like to go. I think it would be fun," Kim said as she twisted around to look at the table. "Hey you guys, want to go to a fishing club meeting next Thursday? Jenny invited us."

"We were just talking about it," Jack replied. "Don't forget Mom and Dad are going be coming in on Thursday."

"That's right. Maybe we can see them before the meeting and still go," Kim said. "I'll check with them when I call tomorrow."

Kim turned around. "I don't think it will be a problem for us. Our parents are cool."

"You can invite them to the meeting if you want to," Jenny said. "It's a youth division meeting, but a lot of the parents will be there."

"I'll ask, but they may be busy. I don't really know what they have planned except for the closing on the house," Kim said.

"We have to meet with Mrs. Mitchell too," Sally said.

"Maybe we can have her come to the boatyard on Friday while our parents take care of what they need to do," Kim said.

"It sounds like you guys are so busy! It must be hard," Kathy said.

"Not really. We mostly listen to what other people are telling us. We don't really know too much about having a yacht built or chartering it. We'll learn in time, but for now we're just sort of following along," Kim said.

"What are you going to be doing at the boatyard next week?" Jenny asked.

"The guys are going to learn about the mechanical systems. Sally and I are supposed to learn about the operations from April, our chief steward. We want to learn about everything on the yacht." Kim glanced back to see what the guys were doing. When she caught Tom's eye, she winked at him.

Jenny saw the brief exchange and smiled. Whispering, she said, "Your brothers are cute."

Sally nodded, grinning from ear to ear. Kim chuckled and said, "So are Eddie and Brad. It's cool that you guys all get along so well."

"You guys seem to be very close, too," Kathy said.

"We always have been," Sally said softly. "We're more like brothers and sisters than cousins. Now that we've moved and none of us have boyfriends or girlfriends, we're even closer."

"You guys have friends too, don't you?" Jenny said.

"Yeah, but like we told you guys before, not many. Our friends used to be our boyfriends and girlfriends. We haven't seen them too much since we all broke up," Kim said. "Our parents are partners in a golf course with the parents of Sally's and my old boyfriends. Their sister, Lisa, used to go with Tom and Megan, Jack's old girlfriend is the daughter of our parents' lawyer. Megan and Lisa are together now."

"I remember you telling us about that—that's weird if you ask me," Kathy said. "It must have been hard on your brothers."

"Jack and Tom wanted them to be happy. I know it hurt them, but they have been really cool about it. Neither of them has said a bad word about Lisa or Megan," Sally said.

The girls became silent for a few moments, glancing from one to the other.

"It takes quite a guy to do something like that," Jenny said. "Most guys call their ex-girlfriends names and stuff—most girls do the same thing."

"Jack and Tom don't hate Lisa or Megan. I don't think they hate our brothers either. They just fell in love, that's all. I really hope things workout for them," Kim said. "I'm still friends with Paul, but we're not dating or anything."

"Brad is the only boyfriend I've ever had," Jenny said.

"Yeah, Eddie is my first boyfriend." Kathy glanced at Jenny, exchanging smiles with her. "I never even went out with another guy."

"What was it like going to that private school?" Jenny asked.

"To be honest, it sucked! We had to wear uniforms and it was really hard. Most of the kids were so stuck-up, they wouldn't have anything to do with us. Just because our parents could afford to send us there didn't mean we fit in. I liked our old school much better," Sally said.

"Most of the kids at the Academy went to grade school together. They all had their own little groups, groups we didn't fit in with. I'm glad we don't go there anymore. Home school is kind of fun," Kim said.

"I can see how it would be. You could go to school in your pajamas if you wanted to," Kathy said.

"Not really. Mrs. Phillips makes us dress like we were in regular school. It's very structured. It is a little weird because our old boyfriends are her sons," Kim said. "We have to see them everyday."

"That would suck!" Kathy said. "Were you guys really in love with them?"

"I used to think I was, but after we broke up, I realized I didn't care about Brad as much as I thought I did," Sally said. "When he decided he was gay, I didn't really care if we broke up. Once we went our own way, I started to think about how much of a risk I might be taking. He said he always used a condom with other guys, but I know that wasn't true. I saw him with another guy and they didn't use condoms."

"That must have been weird—seeing him having sex with another guy," Jenny said.

Sally shrugged her shoulders. "It wasn't that bad. I don't have any hang-ups about same sex sex. I just want to make sure I'm safe. There are things out there that will kill you and I sure don't want to die from getting laid."

"Me either, not unless the sex is so good it kills me," Jenny said, causing the girls to laugh.

"Are you guys going to be anti-social all night?" Kathy shouted at the guys.

"We're talking about guy stuff," Brad said. "We'll be over there in a little while. Eddie and I are showing Tom and Jack some of the places we've fished."

"Have you shown them the log?" Kathy asked.

"No, but that's a good idea, I'll get it," Brad replied as he slid out of the booth.

"What log is that?" Kim asked.

"We log all of our trips. We record where we went, what we caught and how we caught the fish. We also log who was with us, and details of the trip. It's fun to read about some of our trips," Jenny said. "It really helps with our fishing too. We keep notes on the weather, water temperature, seas, tackle—just about everything."

Kathy laughed. "Well, not everything. Our parents read it too."

"Hey, look over here!" Tom said. When the girls turned to look, the flash from Tom's camera blinded them. "Why don't you move closer so I can get a good picture of you guys?"

The girls shifted on the bed. They knelt, facing Tom. Kim and Sally were in between Kathy and Jenny as they posed for the photo. Tom took a few shots of the girls, moving to get several different angles. "How about a little leg?" Tom said with a chuckle.

The girls giggled and sat with their legs straight out in front of them. They put their arms around each other after pulling their jerseys up to expose their legs. Tom took a couple more shots as the girls sat together. Placing the camera on the counter, Tom composed a shot. He told the other guys to join the girls so he could get a shot of the whole group.

Jack, Brad and Eddie went to the bed. They got on, kneeling behind the girls. When Tom was ready, he set the timer and scurried to join them. He knelt behind Kim, putting his hands on her shoulders. They all smiled, waiting for the flash to go off. Tom jumped up after the picture was taken, resetting the camera for another.

The teens posed for several more pictures before Tom said he was set.

"That's enough for now, unless you girls want to pose nude," Tom said with a chuckle.

"Thomas! Don't be a pig," Kim said and then she giggled. "You already have enough pictures of Sally and me like that."

"There's no such thing as enough, Kim," Tom replied. "You know you and Sally love to showoff anyway."

Jenny and Kathy laughed out loud. "Boys! They're all the same, aren't they?" Kathy said. "Brad and Eddie are always taking pictures of Jenny and me, too."

"Cool, we'll have to compare albums someday," Jack said.

Sally looked at Jack and giggled. She leaned close to him, kissing his neck just under his ear. "You want to show them pictures of me naked?" she whispered.

Jack chuckled, turned his head and kissed Sally firmly on the mouth. "No, I'm just kidding around, Sweetie."

Hugging Jack, Sally whispered, "I don't mind if you do—not if that's what you want."

Jack hugged her close, kissing her again. He moved his mouth from her lips to her ear, kissing her cheek along the way. "You're all mine."

Sally's arms tightened around Jack. She rested her head on his shoulder, squeezing him even tighter. After a moment, she pulled her head back so she could kiss him again.

"Okay you two, go to your room if you're going to make out," Jenny said with a giggle.

"We're just fine," Jack said, kissing Sally's nose. "What time are we planning to get underway in the morning?"

"It doesn't matter to us," Eddie said. "We can get going early or we can sleep in if you guys want to. We normally get going pretty early. Six or so."

"That's fine with me," Kim said. "I like to get up early anyway. Who's making breakfast?"

"The guys, we made breakfast this morning," Kathy said. "I like my eggs over easy and my bacon crisp. Not too dark on the toast if you don't mind."

The rest of the girls told the guys how they wanted their eggs, ordering as if they were in a restaurant. They laughed as their orders became more and more complicated. The guys laughed along with them and then Eddie said, "Okay, let me make sure I've got this right. Scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and juice—right?"

"That'll be great," Sally said. She smiled at Jack. "I'll help if you want me to."

"That won't be necessary, they can do it," Kathy said. "It'll give us time to get ready for the day."

The group sat around talking for another half hour. It was ten o'clock when Jenny said, "Okay, I don't know about you guys, but I have to get to bed. Six o'clock will be here before you know it."

"It's only ten," Kim said.

Jenny giggled and whispered to Kim, "I didn't say I was going to sleep right away."

Kim giggled as she nodded her head. Getting off the bed, she grabbed Tom's arm. "Let's go, Honey."

The teens all said good night to each other. Kim asked if they were sure about the sleeping arrangements and Jenny assured they were. Before they went below, Jenny took Kim aside. "Don't worry about the sheets, we have a washer and dryer."

Kim blushed. Jenny giggled and winked at her.

Jack, Sally, Kim and Tom said good night again before going below. When they got to the staterooms, Kim pulled Tom into the guest room. "You guys can have the master stateroom tonight."

Sally giggled. She hugged Jack's arm and told Kim and Tom goodnight. When she got into the stateroom Sally took Jack in her arms. "You know, I can't remember the last time you and I were alone together. I'm so happy we can be tonight."

"Me too, Sweetie, me too." Jack lifted Sally's face by the chin. He kissed her lightly on the lips and then her nose. Sally hugged him tighter, pressing her body against his.

"Do you really love me, Jack?"

"You bet I do."

"I love you too. This is just so right—you know, you and me." Sally looked up into Jack's eyes.

"Yes it is. Let's go to bed."

Sally gave Jack another kiss. She pulled away, went to the bed and pulled the covers back. Removing his pants and shirt, Jack got into bed with Sally. They lay on their sides, facing each other. Jack stroked Sally's cheek with the backs of his fingertips, leaning in to kiss her as he did.

Jack and Sally began to kiss more passionately. Their lips parted and their tongues darted in and out of one another's mouths. Jack moved one of his hands to her breast, causing Sally to moan. When Jack began to tug at her jersey, Sally helped him remove it.

Sally stretched out on her back. Jack propped himself up on one arm, using his other hand to gently stroke her stomach. Dropping his head, Jack kissed her lips. He moved his hand to her breast, circling her nipple with his fingertip. Sally put her hand behind his head, running her fingers through his hair. She stared into his bright blue eyes, feeling her love for him flow through her body. Sally shivered slightly as Jack moved his finger back and forth across her hardening nipple.

"Mmmm, that feel nice," Sally said, and then she pulled his head to her breast.

Jack sucked her nipple firmly as she stroked the back of his head. His hand moved from her breast and began to stroke her toward her sex. Jack ran his fingers over Sally's mons, feeling her rise up to meet him. He moved his mouth to her other breast, kissing, licking and sucking her nipple.

Sally held Jack tightly as he slipped his fingers into her panties. She opened her legs, letting out a groan when his fingers touched her hot vulva. Jack used two fingers to stroke her, pressing her engorged labia between them.

"You taste so good. I love your tits."

"I like boobs."

"Me too, that's what I just said."

"No, I like the word boobs better that tits." Sally pulled his head up so she could kiss him. "You can call them tits if that's what you want though."

"I won't call them tits if you don't want me to, Sweetie."

"Jack, you can call my boobs anything you want to—you can do anything you want to do with me."

"I want to make love with you."

"I want you to."

Jack and Sally began kissing again. They helped one another remove the last of their clothing and snuggled against each other. Sally kissed her way down, taking Jack's penis in her mouth. After several minutes, Jack pulled her up. He rolled her on her back, moved between her legs and aligned his penis at the opening to her vagina.

Pushing against her, Jack moved slowly until his member was enveloped in the warmth of her tight vagina. He let out a soft moan, rubbing his pubic mound against hers. Sally hooked her feet over his calves, pushing her hips up against him.

Supporting himself on his out stretched arms, Jack gazed into Sally's eyes. He dropped his head, covering her face with tender pecks. Sally kissed him back whenever she could. Jack began to move. He pulled his penis back until it was almost out of her and then pushed back in. When he was deep inside her, he wiggled his hips.

"I love you, Sally." Jack continued to move at his slow steady pace.

As they made love, something began to change in both of them. While the coupling of their genitals was sensual, their hearts also coupled. Neither of them needed to say a word. They gazed into each other's eyes, communicating their love. Sally and Jack moved as one, their connection becoming more and more intense.

While Jack moved, Sally stroked his back with her hands. She moved from his back to his arms, feeling the strength of his muscles. Tears began to form in Sally's eyes, running out of the corners and down her cheeks. She blinked, but never broke contact with Jack's eyes.

Jack didn't have to ask if Sally was okay, he could tell the tears were from joy, not pain. The soulful look on her face told Jack everything he needed to know. Time stood still for the two lovers. Jack's movements became erratic, but not faster. Each time he pushed into Sally, he stopped for a moment to savor the feeling of her velvety vaginal walls.

Sally blinked again, forcing the tears out of her eyes. Her past sexual encounters replayed through her mind like she was fast-forwarding a movie. The memories were blurred as she unconsciously remembered each and every time she had had sex in the past. While most of her experiences had been enjoyable, none could compare with the way she felt at that moment.

Jack bent down, kissing the tears away from the corners of Sally's eyes. When their lips met, their bodies melded into one living mass of love. Neither of them hurried. Neither of them wanted the loving connection to end. Jack felt himself getting close to ejaculating several times but he was able to stop before he did. Sally began to feel her body quiver as mini orgasms started to rumble through her.

Sally didn't try to squash the orgasms. She let them course through her body. Jack felt her vagina contract as she reached one peak after the other. None of the orgasms were earth shattering, but each one was better than any Sally could remember. As the orgasms grew in intensity, Sally found it impossible to remain still.

"Ohhh, yes!" Sally moaned as her entire body quivered under Jack. "So good, so good—yes, yes, yes."

Jack punctuated each of her throaty 'yeses' by pushing into her. Sally pushed up, meeting his thrusts. She raked his back with her fingertips, feeling the perspiration that coated Jack's body. Unable to control himself any longer, Jack pushed into Sally. He dropped his body onto hers, reaching down and grabbing her bottom. Letting out a groan against her neck, Jack exploded into Sally's convulsing vagina.

Pressing against her as hard as he could, Jack felt his semen rip though his penis. His muscles contracted to the point he thought they would cramp as he experienced the most powerful climax of his life. His testicles ached as his penis continued to throb in Sally's vagina.

Jack's body went limp. He gasped for breath as he lay on top of Sally, recuperating from his orgasm. His breathlessness wasn't because of physical activity, it was because of the emotional intensity of the lovemaking he and Sally had just experienced. Like Jack, Sally was emotionally spent as well as sated.

While Jack's body was heavy on her, Sally didn't complain. She relished the closeness and feeling of love. Her hands moved lazily over his back as she basked in the afterglow.

Jack finally regained some of his composure. He lifted his head, found Sally's soft lips with his and kissed her.

"It's never been like that before, Sweetie—never." Jack kissed her again.

"I know, not for me either. Now I really know what making love is. Jack, I can't explain what happened, but it was very special for me."

"You felt it too? My God, it was like nothing I ever felt before. I was part of you, Sally—we were one."

"We are one, Baby, we are one. I love you so much. I've always liked sex, but this was so different, so much better than it's ever been before. Please don't get mad at me, but until now, I didn't think anyone could make me happy except Tom. Now I know I was wrong, Tom has never, and could never, make me feel like I do now."

Jack nodded, thinking about the times he'd been with Kim. He also realized that all of the times with Kim, or anyone else, were pale in comparison to the way he felt at the moment.

Sally squirmed beneath Jack, feeling his flaccid penis slip from her vagina. She could feel his semen leaking into the crack of her bottom, but didn't care. She would gladly sleep in the wet spot in order to remain close to Jack.

Jack slowly moved off of Sally, resting on his side next to her. He gazed into her eyes, kissing her cheek several times before moving his mouth to hers. They shared a kiss—a kiss they felt would seal their love for eternity.

Pulling his head up, Jack looked at Sally's body. He had seen her naked many times, but she never looked more beautiful to him than she did at the moment. He put his hand on her chest, running his fingertip through the moisture under her breasts. His gaze changed as he began to study her. He saw a few small dark birthmarks he hadn't noticed before. The spots were just below her breasts and he touched each one.

"They're ugly, aren't they?" Sally said when she realized what he was looking at.

"No, they're not ugly, Sweetie—there isn't anything ugly about you. Sally, I just never really looked at you, not like this. You are the most beautiful thing in the world."

Jack continued his exploration. He studied her chest, her breasts, and her neck. He touched her, and then kissed Sally where he touched. When his fingertip traced over the small bumps on her areola, Sally giggled.

"Do you know what those bumps are?" Jack shook his head. "Their brails for 'suck me.' That's what they say."

"Mmmm, I guess I'll have to learn brail then." Jack gently kissed and then sucked each of her nipples. "Anything else I should know?"

"Yes, you should know how much I love you. You should know I'd do anything for you. You should know I need you. Jack, I know you're uncomfortable with it, but I do need you."

"I need you too. I'm not uncomfortable with it at all."

Sally rolled onto her side so she could look into Jack's eyes. She touched his cheek, leaned close and kissed him. "That's not what I meant, Baby. I mean I need you to help me be the girl you want me to be. I'm not like Kim; I'm not as strong as she is. I need more from our relationship than she needs from hers. Kim knows what she wants and she isn't afraid to go after it. I'm not sure and I need someone to tell me, I need you to be the one to tell me what you want from me."

"I want you to love me, Sally—that's all."

"I do love you! I love you more than anything in the world."

"Why can't we just be in love? Can't we talk about things and make decisions together."

"Yes. Jack, have you ever felt lost? Have you ever felt like you didn't know what to do?"

"Not really."

"That's the way I feel most of the time. I feel like my life is going in circles and there's no one that will help me find—and stay, on course. Jack, I want that person to be you. I want, no, I need you to do it for me. You're strong and you know what you want and where you're going. Please take me with you."

"I will, but I want you by my side, Sweetie. I don't know if I can do what I think you're asking me to do."

"You can do anything you want to do, Jack. Isn't a relationship supposed to be two people doing things for the other?"

"Yes, part of it is."

"Isn't what I want important to our relationship?"

"Of course it is. To me it's the most important part."

"Then why won't you do want I'm asking you to do? It's what will make me happy—if that matters to you."

Jack pulled Sally to him. He hugged her as his hand moved up and down her spine. When his hand reached her bottom, he pulled her crotch to his.

"I guess you might be afraid of what Tom or Kim might think about it, aren't you?" Sally whispered. "It doesn't matter to me. I don't want to tell them how to feel or what to do and I don't want them to tell us. This is OUR relationship—OUR love. We should be able to do what WE want."

Sally was right, Jack thought to himself. It is their relationship. While he wasn't completely comfortable with what she was asking him to do, he was willing to try if it would please her. If Sally wanted someone to dominate her, he would rather it be him than anyone else.

"It didn't work for you and Brad," Jack said, trying to make sure Sally was sure of what she wanted.

"Brad didn't love me, not like I think you do—I didn't love him like I love you. To Brad, it was all about him. I know in my heart it isn't that way for you. You aren't that kind of guy. In the end, Brad treated me like one of his boyfriends. He didn't really care about me. He just wanted my ass because there wasn't a boy's ass to fuck."

"Why didn't you just tell him no?"

Sally shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know—because it was better than nothing at the time I guess. While I don't think he really loved me, I do think he needed me. Even if it was just to satisfy his weird needs."

"I need you, Sally. I need you to love and to love me. Because I do love you as much as I do, I'll try to do what you're asking. If I step out of line, you have to promise to tell me."

"I will, but you won't do that because you love me. Jack, I trust you. I know you won't hurt me and I know you'll watch over me. I really mean it when I say I'll do anything you want me to—that is if I can. I also know this isn't just about sex, but if that's what you want..."

Jack cut Sally off by kissing her. He pushed his tongue into her mouth, moaning when she began to suck on it. Her hand went to his penis, fondling it gently. They kissed for a few moments. Jack could feel Sally's body trembling against his and he held her tighter.

Pulling his mouth away from hers, Jack looked into her eyes. "Sally, suck my cock!"

The corners of Sally's mouth turned up into a big smile. She giggled as she got up so she could do what she was told. Without saying a word, she shifted so she could take Jack's penis into her mouth. She began to lick and suck his member, savoring the tangy flavor of the juices that coated it. The more she sucked on him, the more she got into it.

"That's it, Sweetie, suck my cock. Take it all!"

Sally increased her efforts. She opened her mouth wide, lowering it over his rigid penis. When it hit the opening of her throat and she gagged, Sally didn't stop. She pressed on until his entire member disappeared into her mouth and throat. After a moment, Sally lifted her head.

"Mmmm, I forgot just how big you are. Am I doing it right?"

"Oh yeah! Now get it back in your mouth." Jack put his hand on Sally's head, pushing her down to his penis.

Sally moaned as his penis slid past her lips and over her tongue. She bobbed her head, letting Jack's member into her throat. The sensation was driving Jack wild and his hips began to move. He humped up into her sucking mouth, feeling her work even harder on him.

It didn't take long for Sally to excite Jack to the point he could no longer hold back. Wrapping her hair around his hand, he held her head in place.

"I'm going to cum!"

Sally pulled back until only the head of his member was between her lips. She used her hand to stroke his shaft, milking his semen out of his penis and into her waiting mouth. She let his cum collect in her mouth, keeping her hand moving until he stopped pulsing. When his penis stopped sending his semen into her mouth, Sally sat up. She looked into Jack's eyes as she played with the thick fluid. Sally pushed his semen out between her lips; sucking it back in before it ran down her chin. Opening her mouth, she let Jack see the pool of cum in her mouth. Sally closed her mouth; she swallowed, and then showed Jack her mouth was empty.

Stretching out next to him, Sally wiggled against Jack. "Thank you, Baby."

"Mmmm, thank you," Jack said.

"Anytime you want me to blow you, just let me know. I love your cum—it's so tasty!"

Jack chuckled. "I'm glad you like it. Now, sit on my face so I can eat your sweet pussy."

"You don't..."

"Now!"

Sally scrambled to her knees. She put her leg over Jack's chest, scooting up until her vagina was over his mouth. She sighed as she lowered herself, feeling Jack's tongue snake between her labia. Looking down, she stared into Jack's eyes. The fact he had told her what to do was more exciting to her than what he was doing with his mouth and tongue. Sally began to rock her hips, rubbing herself against Jack's face. When he sucked her clitoris, she gripped her breasts and climaxed. Jack held her hips, pulling her down to his mouth. He swallowed her juices as they ran down his throat.

Unable to take anymore, Sally said, "Can I get up? I'm too sensitive for anymore."

Jack pushed her up, kissing her vulva before moving her off of him. She found his mouth with hers, kissing him tenderly. She licked his chin, cleaning it.

They kissed and hugged for a few minutes. Sally squirmed against Jack, trying to get as close to him as she could.

"This is perfect, Baby—you're perfect," Sally said.

"Sweetie, we don't have to tell anyone about this—about how we feel."

"Are you ashamed of me because of the way I am?"

"Hell no! It's no one's business how we choose to live and love, Sweetie. I could never be ashamed of you or anything about you." Jack kissed Sally's forehead. "We should get some sleep, Sweetie. You're going to be tired tomorrow if we don't."

"So will you. I'll try to go to sleep, but I'm so happy I don't know if I can." Sally reached over Jack to turn off the lamp. "You go to sleep, Honey. I'll be right here next to you—loving you."

Jack found her lips in the dark. He kissed her tenderly; letting his lips linger against Sally's for a moment. "Good night, my love," he whispered.

"Mmmm, good night. I love you." Sally kissed Jack. "I hope you don't get tired of hearing me tell you I love you."

"Never."

Jack lay on his back. Sally rested her head on his chest, cooing as his arm came around her. She smiled as she felt Jack's chest rise and fall with each breath he took. Within a few minutes, his breathing changed and he was asleep.

Sally remained still. She tried to close her eyes, but she was so excited she couldn't. Feeling her dreams were finally going to come true made sleep the furthest thing from her mind. Sally felt Jack's arm fall away from her body. She considered putting it back, but she didn't want to disturb his sleep.

Thinking about the lovemaking she and Jack had enjoyed, she felt her body tingle. Never had sex been so complete or fulfilling. While she had had orgasms before, some of them much more intense, she had never felt the love that accompanied the series of climaxes she experienced with Jack.

While lying on his chest, Sally wondered if Jack would take her request seriously. Would he really be the driving force in her life she was looking for or would he back off? It wasn't that Sally wanted feel the way she did, it's just the way it was. She had needs and desires that could only be fulfilled by a man that would take charge.

Sally knew about submissive women and girls. She had done a lot of reading on the subject over the past few months. While she didn't want to be humiliated, she did want to be controlled. Sally wanted to please Jack, no matter what it took. She decided she was willing to do almost anything and had told him so. Now, she would have to wait to see how things turned out.

After lying restlessly for a half hour, Sally got up to use the head. Once she was finished, she stood in the passageway, listening for any sign someone else was awake. She moved close to the door of her brother's and Kim's stateroom. Sally could hear Tom snoring.

Back in the master stateroom, Sally carefully removed one of the two light blankets from the bed. She made sure Jack was covered and asleep before she wrapped the blanket around her naked body and left. Moving as quietly as she could, Sally went out of the cabin. She climbed the steps to the flying bridge and sat on the bench seat with the blanket wrapped around her.

Staring into the night, she sighed and then grinned. Sally remembered how she was received when she announced her relationship with Brad while they were at the resort. She also remembered how Kim, her brother and Jack, received it. She didn't care then and she didn't care now. If they didn't like it—oh well. Sally liked it and from what he said, Jack was willing to do what she needed. Nothing else mattered—not to her.

While she sat and thought about the things that had transpired, Sally heard a noise. A couple moments later, Kathy came up to the flying bridge.

"Hi, Sally. Is everything okay?" Kathy asked as she sat next to Sally.

Nodding her head, Sally said, "Yes, everything is wonderful. I couldn't sleep and I didn't want to disturb Jack so I came out here."

"I like sitting outside at night too. Maybe I'll get a blanket and join you, if you don't mind." Kathy pulled at her jersey. "This isn't very warm and it's a little cool out tonight."

Sally smiled. "I'll share mine if you want to."

"Sure, I don't mind of you don't."

Sally shook her head. She giggled as she opened the blanket so Kathy could wrap it around her too. "I hope you don't care if I'm naked," Sally said.

Before covering up, Kathy glanced at Sally. She grinned, shook her head and pulled the blanket around her. They scooted closer together so the blanket would cover both of them.

"I take it you and Jack had some fun tonight," Kathy said. "I know Eddie and I did. I just love sex!"

Sally giggled. "We had the most mind-blowing night you could ever imagine. I love him so much!"

"I can tell. You can't seem to keep your eyes off of Jack. How long have you two been together?"

"Together together? Not very long, but I've loved him forever."

"Was he your first?"

"No, but he's the best."

"Eddie wasn't my first either, but I really love him."

Sally nodded. She turned so she could look into Kathy's eyes and smiled. "It was Brad, wasn't it?"

"What?"

"Your first lover—it was your brother." Sally watched Kathy's expression change.

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't know, I guess I can tell. My brother was the first guy I had sex with."

"Really?"

Sally nodded. "I'm not sorry we did it, not at all. It was really great."

"How about Kim and Jack?"

"Yeah, them too. My guess is Jenny and Eddie have fooled around too."

"We all have, we've even done it together."

"So have we, it's fun. We haven't done it in a while though."

Kathy giggled. "We have. I was so worried you guys would hear us."

Sally giggled. "No, I was busy myself. How about you and Jenny?"

Kathy grinned.

"Kim and I have messed around too."

"This is so weird! What are the chances of this happening?" Kathy asked.

"I don't know."

Both girls sat quietly for a moment, each of them thinking about what they had learned about the other. Sally suddenly became very aware of Kathy's body being pressed against her side.

"I really like you guys," Sally said, breaking the silence. "I'm so glad you invited us to go fishing with you."

"That's cool, I like you guys too. It's fun meeting new people."

"I hope we can be friends. It'll be nice to know someone down here."

"We already talked about it, Jenny and I are looking forward to it. I just know you'll like our friends too. It's too bad you can't go to school with us."

"I know! I don't like being home schooled. Jack, Tom and Kim want to get their GED diplomas so we don't have to go to school, but I would rather graduate."

"Why don't you go to school then? If the others don't want to, let then get their GEDs, that doesn't mean you have to."

"Maybe I'll ask Jack about it."

Kathy gave Sally a strange look, but didn't say anything. "Maybe someday we'll all get together—if you know what I mean."

"Maybe, but right now I'm going to remain true to Jack."

"The four of us keep trying that, but for some reason Jenny and I can't keep our hands off our brothers. I know it's weird, but that's just what happens."

"I know, it happens to us too. This time, I'm going to try really hard though. If Jack wants to, then I will, but not unless he is cool with it."

Kathy giggled. "Does that go for girls too?" Moving her hand to Sally's breast, Kathy gave it gently squeeze. "You have great boobs, Sally. Do you mind if I touch you like this?"

Sally put her hand over Kathy's. After pressing it to her breast, she removed Kathy's hand from her chest. "I like it, but I'm not really in the mood tonight. Maybe some other time."

"Sorry, I just think you have the most beautiful breasts. They're even better than Jenny's."

"Thanks. You don't have to be sorry, Kathy. I liked it when you touched me."

Sally and Kathy sat on the flying bridge talking for another hour. The longer they talked, the closer Sally felt to Kathy. She began talking about her relationship with Brad and how much it hurt when she realized that he was using her as a replacement for sex with another guy.

"Why didn't you just stop? How could you let him do that to you?" Kathy asked.

"I don't know, I really don't. Looking back, I wish I had. I wish I had told Jack how I felt about him too. He is so sweet to me. I love him more than anything in the world."

"Sometimes things happen when they're supposed to, not when we want them to—I truly believe that. Every time I try to rush things, they turn out wrong for some reason. Like tonight when I tried to touch you."

Sally smiled. "I think I'm going to go to bed now. Thanks for talking to me."

"Anytime, I enjoyed it too." Kathy got up, watching as Sally stood and wrapped the blanket around her. "I hope we can get some sun tomorrow. It's supposed to be sunny and hot."

"Me too, I brought my micro bikini. Do you think it would be okay to wear it tomorrow?"

"Sure it will. Jenny and I have micros too. We'll drive the guys nuts."

"That sounds fun." Sally stood still, looking at Kathy. She moved closer, putting her arms around the girl while trying to keep the blanket on. After giving Kathy a hug, Sally adjusted the blanket. "I just know we're going to be good friends."

"I think you're right." Kathy hugged Sally, kissing her cheek before releasing her.

"I like girls, Kathy. I like fooling around with girls too, but not as much as I love Jack."

"Girls are fun, but just for fooling around. I would rather have a guy any day, especially Eddie."

"You're in love with him?"

"Yeah, I love him. I don't know if I'm as in love with him as you are with Jack, but I'm not sure anyone could love someone as much as you seem to love him."

"It shows?"

Kathy laughed. She held her hands up, opening and closing her fingers. "Neon sign!"

Sally blushed. "Things could be worse you know."

"From what you said tonight, they were, at least for you. You're lucky to have a nice guy like Jack. Is Kim as crazy about your brother as you are about hers?"

"I know Tom is in love with her, but it's hard to say how Kim feels. Sometimes she is very hard to read. I was really worried she would be pissed because of the way I feel about Jack."

"Is she?"

Sally shook her head. "No, I don't think so. I also know Kim loves her brother and wants him to be happy. Let's face it; no matter how we feel about our brothers, we can't really have a permanent relationship with them. Someday, I want a family. I love kids and want a few of my own. It's not like Tom and I can do that."

"Too true! Our society won't allow it."

"That, and the fact it's against the law. I would hate if my brother went to jail just because he loves me."

"If we don't get some sleep, we're not going to. It'll be six o'clock before you know it. We can talk more tomorrow."

Kathy and Sally walked down to the cockpit. They went into the cabin, whispering good night before Kathy got into bed with Eddie and Sally went below. When she slipped into bed next to Jack, he stirred.

"Hi, darling, is it time to get up?" Jack put his arms around Sally, pulling her to him.

"No, Honey, go back to sleep."

"Hmmm, you feel so good. Cuddle with me."

There were very few things Jack could have said that would have made Sally any happier. She snuggled in his arms; kissing him anywhere her lips could touch his skin. When she put her lips to his, she realized he was sleeping.

"Good night, my prince," she whispered as she nested her head against his chest and forearm. "I love you."

Jack's arm tightened around her, but he remained asleep. Sally let out a sigh, settling in to get a couple hours of rest before it was time to get up.

It seemed like it was only a moment later when Sally heard a knock on the door and it swung open. Kim stood in the doorway, looking at Sally and her brother.

"Time to get up, sleepyhead. It's six in the morning and we have to get going."

"Okay, I'll be up in a minute," Sally replied with a groggy voice.

Kim closed the door. Sally rose up and then kissed Jack. "Wake up, Baby. Time to go fishing."

Jack groaned, opened his eyes and looked up at her. He put his arms around her neck, pulling Sally down to him. They kissed for a moment before Jack said, "I have to take a leak."

Giggling, Sally said, "What some help?"

"Yeah, but if you help, I'll pee on the ceiling. You excite me too much when you touch me."

"I hope you don't think that's a bad thing."

"No, not at all. I love it when you play with my cock."

Sally giggled and kissed him. After pulling the covers back, she leaned down and gave his morning erection a kiss. She got up and waited for Jack to get out of bed.

Jack and Sally went to the head. It was vacant so they went in to take care of their morning business and shower. While they were in the shower, someone knocked on the door.

"Are you going to be long? I have to pee really bad," Kathy said through the door.

"Come on in, Jack and I are in the shower," Sally yelled back.

The door opened and Kathy came in. She grinned at Sally and Jack as she backed up to the toilet. Pulling her jersey up, Kathy sat down. Jack diverted his eyes as Kathy went to the bathroom. Sally hugged him, pressing her breasts against his wet body. She ignored Kathy as she rubbed the bar of soap over Jack.

When Kathy was finished, she left. Brad came in and used the toilet as if he was alone in the room. Jack and Sally chuckled after he left.

"Nothing like taking a shower in Grand Central Station, is there, Honey?" Sally said.

"What are you going to do? Eight people and one head make this a busy place."

Jack and Sally hurried in the shower. When they got out to dry off, Jenny and Brad jumped in the shower. Standing in front of the mirror, Sally pulled her wet light brown hair into a ponytail. She secured it with a scrunchy, pulling her hair to tighten it. Jack went to the stateroom to dress. Sally came in right behind him.

"Oops, we don't have any clothes in here. Our bag is in the other stateroom," Sally said.

"I'll go get it," Jack told her.

"We could just go there to get dressed."

Jack nodded. They went to the other stateroom and found Kim and Tom embracing. Neither of them disturbed their sibling as Sally began digging clean clothes out of the bag. She found a pair of boxers for Jack, handing them to him. Sally pulled a pair of panties out of the bag and stepped into them.

"Do you two mind? Can't you see I'm trying to convince Tom to screw me," Kim said with a giggle. "He got tired and fell asleep last night."

"Poor Kim, she didn't get laid," Sally said, grinning at her.

"Yes I did, he passed out after the third time. Boys! They just can't go the distance."

Sally ran her hand over Jack's butt. "Some can."

"I didn't hear you complaining last night," Tom said.

"I'm not complaining now—I'm just teasing you. Come on, let's take our shower," Kim said as she pulled Tom out of the room.

Sally pulled a bra out of the bag. She put it on backwards, fastened it and then spun it around her body. Jack watched her pull the cups over her breasts and then slipped her arms through the straps.

"Nice boobs," Jack said as he covered her breasts with both hands.

"They're all yours, Honey." Sally leaned into his hands, moaning softly. She stepped back, moving her hands to her thighs. "This is all yours too you know. Anytime you want me, just take me."

Jack didn't comment, he knew it was no use. He had agreed to what she wanted so now he had to just listen to her offer herself to him. Smiling, he slid his hand into her panties. Jack rubbed Sally for a moment before removing his hand. Putting his hand to his mouth, he sucked each of his fingers as if they were coated with sauce.

"Mmmm, nothing like a little pussy before breakfast."

Sally's giggling was infectious. Jack laughed, taking her into his arms and hugging her. "I love you so much, Sweetie."

While they finished dressing, Sally told Jack about talking with Kathy on the flying bridge. She told him about Kathy touching her breast and watched for a reaction. When Jack didn't say anything, Sally did.

"If she wants to, may I fool around with Kathy someday?"

Jack's first reaction was to tell Sally she could, but instead, he said, "We'll see."

The grin on her face said volumes. He knew Sally was happy with his answer.

"I'm going to go to the galley and help with breakfast. Why don't you go make the bed?"

"Okay," Sally kissed him. "I'll be up in a few minutes."

"Don't dawdle."

Sally nodded. She went to the stateroom and began stripping the soiled sheets from the mattresses. Once the sheets were balled up, Sally carried them out into the passageway. She opened the doors to the laundry and placed the sheets on the washing machine.

"There's clean sheets up there," Jenny pointed above the washing machine. "The ones on the right are for the master."

"I didn't know if I should put these in the washer yet. I was coming to find you," Sally said.

"It's almost the same as the washing machine you'd have at home, just a little smaller. We can do two sets of sheets at a time."

Sally nodded. "Did you talk to Kathy this morning?"

"About what?"

"About what Kathy and I talked about last night."

"No, not really. She said she heard you so she followed you outside. Kathy said you are so in love with Jack."

"I am. Did she tell you anything else?"

"Not really, why?"

"Just wondering, that's all."

"Kathy wouldn't say anything about something you told her in confidence, Sally. One of the things you'll discover is we don't gossip."

"I don't either. Where is the laundry detergent?"

"In there," Jenny pointed at a plastic bin. "We keep it in there in case it breaks in rough seas."

Sally started the washer and put the sheets in it. When the water reached the right level, she poured a capful of detergent into the machine. Jenny left to finish with the salon. Sally went to the galley and stood at the counter, watching Jack and Tom cooking breakfast. When it looked like he could take a break, Sally reached out and touched Jack's arm.

"Can I borrow Jack for a minute? I have to talk to him about something," Sally said.

"Sure, take him away," Brad said as he took the wooden spoon from Jack's hand.

"Thanks, we'll be right back." Sally took Jack's hand in hers.

Sally took Jack outside. She wrapped her arms around him, putting her head against his chest. "Honey, I have to tell you something. If you get pissed at me, I'll understand."

"What is it?"

"Well, when I was talking with Kathy last night, I told her about Tom and me. She knows about you and Kim too."

"You told her about us having sex?"

"Yes, I'm sorry. We were just talking and it came out. Please don't hate me, Jack. I know I shouldn't have said anything."

Jack was a bit stunned. The secret of his family's incest was out in the open with people they hardly knew. Nonetheless, he couldn't be mad at Sally, his love overrode his anger.

"Well, we can't un-ring the bell, can we?"

"It was me, not us, Jack."

"Sweetie, as long as we're together, it's us."

Sally hugged Jack. Looking up, she mouthed, "I'm so sorry."

Jack lifted her face and kissed her. "I better get back to work before they make me walk the plank."

Sally forced a giggle. She nodded, gave him a kiss and led him back to the galley. Jack picked up where he left off, taking the spoon from Brad. Once the food was ready, the guys took it to the table. The group crowed around the table and began to eat.

Kathy caught Sally's eye. When Kathy winked, Sally smiled.

"Okay, I have a question. How many girls at this table have screwed their brother?"

The group went silent. Kathy raised her hand, smiling at Sally. Sally blushed as she raised her hand. Suddenly, Kim and Jenny's hands went up and the table broke out in laughter.

Jack put his hand on Sally's leg. He gave her a firm squeeze just above her knee and began to chuckle. Looking right at Kim, Jack said, "You did? When did you do that Kim?"

Kim threw her napkin at her brother. "You brat!"

"Okay, now that we all know each other's secrets, I want to know how it happened," Kathy said. "I remember when Brad and I did it the first time."

Jenny giggled. "So do I. I watched you guys from the bushes."

While the teens finished their breakfast, they each shared their experiences. The girls did most of the talking while the guys did most of the blushing. After breakfast, the girls began to clear the table and do the dishes while their brothers went out to get the boat ready to go.

Chapter 8

"How bizarre is that?" Eddie said as he started the engines. "Although I'm glad it's out in the open. It's hard to keep from playing grab ass with Jenny. I grabbed her once yesterday and almost got my arm ripped off."

"Hey, keep your hands off my girl," Brad said.

"No, you don't keep yours off mine," Eddie replied and then they both laughed.

"I guess Sally and Kathy talked last night," Jack said.

"Kathy told me, but she wouldn't tell me what they talked about. Not all of it anyway. It gets a bit confusing sometimes. We don't like to tell anyone something that was said to us, but we don't like the idea of lying either. When I asked Kathy what she and Sally talked about, she said it was girl stuff," Brad said. "That's their code for 'it's none of my business' so I back off."

Jack laughed. "That must be universal code amongst girls. I've heard it from my sister and Sally."

"Have Kim and Sally ever gotten into it over you two?" Brad asked.

"No, not as far as I know. Kim and I have just hooked up so there wasn't any competition between them. I don't think there will be any problems though. Sally is so hung up on Jack I doubt she wants anything to do with me anymore," Tom said.

"Don't be too sure, Tom. Sally still really cares about you," Jack told his cousin.

"She might, but not like she does about you. Open your eyes, buddy! Sally is head over heels in love with you. I've never seen her act like this before."

"What are you talking about, Tom?"

"Haven't you noticed how she acts when she's around you? She can't take her eyes off you or say your name without grinning. I know my sister; at least I thought I did. I've never seen her so enamored before."

"How about Brad?" Jack asked. He knew what Sally told him, but wanted to know what Tom knew.

"She tried to love him, but you've had her heart for a long time. I think she just went out with him so she could be around you. I know she resented Megan," Tom said. "Sally didn't dislike her, but she was very envious."

"I never knew," Jack said.

"Of course not, she loves you so much she couldn't do anything to hurt you, Jack. My sister would rather cut off her head than hurt you."

Brad and Eddie listened to the exchange, both of them feeling a bit uncomfortable. They weren't used to hearing anyone speak so candidly, not from people they really didn't know that well.

"Um, would you guys feel better if you were alone?" Eddie asked.

"Not really. We don't have anything to hide," Jack said. "I'm sure you guys have had similar conversations. Besides, we're all friends here, aren't we? I guess we all share a secret that is dear to us, but we can't really talk about."

"Some of our friends know about our relationships with our sisters. They are friends we can trust not to say anything to anyone about it." Brad chuckled. "By the way, Jack, Tom's right about Sally, even I can see how much she adores you. It's not a bad thing you know. You should embrace it. A lot of people would give their right arm for someone that loves them like that."

Tom put his hand on Jack's shoulder. "Buddy, I can't tell you how happy I am that Sally fell in love with you. She deserves a guy like you. I know you'll never treat her like the other guys she dated."

"If I'd have known how Brad treated her I would have kicked his ass—I still might!"

"It won't do any good, you know that, Jack. That's history; let it go. It would just hurt Sally."

"I know, but it still pisses me off."

"Feeling helpless is what pisses you off. You'd have to ask Sally how she really feels about her old boyfriend," Eddie said. "The boat's ready to go. How about taking care of the lines and power. I have to top off before we head out."

"Okay, but we're buying the fuel," Jack said. "I know we're guests, but we insist."

Jack, Tom and Brad went down to the cockpit. They worked together, releasing the lines and disconnecting the water and power. Once the boat was free, Brad yelled up to Eddie.

The three guys waited in the cockpit while Eddie motored to the gas dock. When the boat was against the pier, Brad and Tom grabbed the lines the dockhands threw to them. Once the boat was fueled and pumped out, Jack went inside to pay for it. He returned, jumped into the cockpit and they were underway.

"Beds are all made," Kim said as she and Sally came up from below. "The sheets should be ready for the dryer in a few minutes."

"I wish you two would relax and enjoy yourselves. Kathy and I should be doing the work, not you guys," Jenny said.

"That's bull. When we take you out, we'll expect you to help," Kim said, and then she giggled. "Really, we don't mind, do we, Sally?"

"No, not at all. It's fun. Besides, we messed up the beds." Sally grinned. "That was fun, too."

"You're just a horny little devil," Kim said.

"Like you're not?"

"I think we all are," Kathy said. "I can't imagine going without sex anymore. I hate it when I have my period. I don't feel comfortable screwing then, but Eddie doesn't really mind, he still gets his."

Sally giggled. "Yum, tube steak!"

"Do you like giving head too?" Kathy asked.

"Doesn't everyone?"

"No, we have a friend that doesn't really like it. She has done it, but she won't let her boyfriend cum in her mouth," Kathy said.

"To each their own, I love it. I love the way a guy reacts when I do it to him," Kim said. "It makes me feel like I'm in control."

"It should, all you have to do is bite down and the guy's pecker is toast! Not that I would ever do anything like that," Kathy said.

"We should go out and get the rods ready," Jenny said. "It's our turn today."

The girls went out to the cockpit to rig the rods. Jenny and Kathy showed Kim and Sally what to do, teaching them how to tie the knots they used. Once the teaser rods were set, Jenny and Kathy began fixing live bait. They put the large hooks in the small fish, securing the hooks with wire. Once they had a dozen baits ready, they relaxed.

"Wow, can you believe how calm it is out here?" Kim said as Eddie piloted the boat out of the inlet and into the ocean. "It's so pretty this morning."

The boat came up on plane, cutting through the water without any bounce. The sun was up and the ocean was as blue as it could be. Sally leaned over the gunwale, letting the wind blow in her face. Kathy came over, standing next to her.

"Thanks for this morning, Kathy. I thought I had really screwed up," Sally said. "You were funny."

"Hey, what are friends for? I didn't want to say anything to Eddie about you guys, and I guessed you didn't want to say anything to Jack about us. I just thought we might as well get it out in the open."

"That was so cool how you did it. I thought I was going to piss my pants when you asked the question. I laughed so hard!"

Sally turned around, leaning against the gunwale. She grinned at Kathy and said, "I asked Jack about—you know, what you wanted to do last night. He said it might be okay."

Kathy furrowed her brow. "What do you mean you asked him if it would be okay? Isn't it up to you?"

"Yes, but I wouldn't do anything unless he approved."

"Why not?"

"Because I wouldn't. Would you?"

"I do what I want to do, Sally. Eddie doesn't have anything to do with it."

"It's cheating, isn't it? I mean, would you have sex with another guy behind his back?"

"No, of course not, but this is different."

"Not to me," Sally said. "I know it's my body, but I gave Jack control over it. If he says I can't fool around with you, or any other girl, I won't do it."

"I could never do that."

Sally shrugged her shoulders. "I can and do. It's what I want. Isn't that what we all want, to be happy? Please don't judge me."

"I'm not judging you, Sally. It's just hard for me to understand. You're right though, if it makes you happy, who am I to say?"

"Jack will never hurt me. He would never tell me to do something that I really didn't want to do either. I tell him what I'm willing to do. If I ever said no, he would respect me and not ask me to do it." Sally reached out, putting her hand on Kathy's arm. "Do you have any idea how it feels to be able to trust someone so completely? To feel so safe you can give that someone complete control?"

Kathy shook her head.

"It is so liberating, at least to me it is. I can be so free."

"If you don't mind me asking, what kind of things does he tell you to do?"

Sally giggled. "He hasn't really told me to do anything, not yet. Well, he did tell me to give him a blowjob last night."

Kathy laughed. "Hell, I do that when Eddie asks me to."

"Jack didn't ask, he told me to. I guess it's the same, but I wouldn't refuse him, that's the real difference."

What Sally was saying began to interest Kathy. Not because she wanted to be like her, but because Kathy wanted to try to understand.

"So, is it like one of those master slave relationships I've read about?" Kathy asked.

"No, not at all. I'm not going to sit at Jack's feet or walk behind him. I just want him to be the strong member of the relationship. Jack will make the decisions and I will do what he decides. I'm perfectly comfortable asking Jack if I can do something. I'm also comfortable with being told no. If it's really important to me, we'll discuss it, but the ultimate decision is his."

Kathy shook her head, trying to put herself in Sally's shoes. Sally smiled at her.

"You said you have a micro bikini, right?"

"Yes."

"I don't know how small yours is, but mine doesn't leave much to the imagination."

Kathy giggled, nodding her head.

"Let's say you and Eddie were going to the beach, or maybe a party and you wanted to wear your micro. If he told you he didn't what you to wear it, would you?"

"Probably not."

"How about if you didn't want to wear it, but he wanted you to? Would you wear it then?"

"Not if I really didn't want to."

"I would. If Jack told me to wear it, I would. If he told me not to, I wouldn't. It's as simple as that. I trust him not to hurt or humiliate me."

"That's a lot of trust."

"It's a lot of love. I love him and he loves me. I couldn't really love someone I didn't trust."

"You aren't afraid he'll tell you to do something you don't really want to do, are you."

"Nope, not at all."

"Well, I hope things work out for you, Sally."

"They will."

"How do Kim and Tom feel about this?"

"I don't care. I'm not asking them to do it. This is what I want and that's all that matters. Let's say you like a certain food and Brad didn't. Would you not eat it because they won't?"

"No, if I liked it, I'd eat it. It's none of his business what I like and dislike."

"Exactly!"

"You are one strange girl, sexy, but strange." Kathy giggled.

"Kids that run around with green hair and a bunch of piercings are strange too. I don't want green hair, but I don't care if they want it—it's up to them. I'm not going to live my life the way someone else lives theirs just because they don't like the way I want things. I'm not telling anyone they should feel like I do, so no one should tell me what I should feel like."

"You're right. No one has the right to tell you to do something you don't want to do. I guess if it's cool between you and Jack, it should be cool to your friends and family," Kathy said.

Kim and Jenny came over to where Kathy and Sally were talking. When they asked what was going on, Kathy said, "Sally and I are just getting to know one another better. What are you guys up to?"

"The same, just talking," Jenny said.

Jack came down from the flying bridge. He went over to Sally, put his arm around her and gave her a quick kiss. "How's my girl doing?"

"We're talking, what are you guys doing up there?"

"Eddie and Brad have been telling us about fishing in the Keys. Someday I'd like to go down there." Jack held up two coffee cups.

Sally took the cups from Jack, smiled and said, "More?"

"Yes, one black for me, one with cream for Eddie."

"Okay, I'll bring them up to you guys." Sally started to leave, but Jack pulled her close to kiss her.

"Thanks, love you."

Sally smiled at Jack and then went into the cabin. Kim looked at her brother, raising an eyebrow. When Jack shrugged his shoulders, Kim smiled and shook her head.

Jack went back up to the flying bridge. Sally came up a few moments later with two cups of hot coffee. After handing the cups to Jack and Eddie, she stood facing Jack.

"Anything else, Baby?" Sally asked.

"No. Thanks for the coffee." Jack gave her a kiss on her cheek.

"Yeah, thanks, Sally," Eddie said.

"Let me know if you need anything else. I'm going back down with the girls." Sally didn't move, waiting for Jack to respond.

"Okay, Sweetie, thanks again."

Sally left the flying bridge. When she rejoined the other girls, Kim moved next to Sally.

"Again?"

"Please don't start on me, Kim. It's what I want," Sally said.

Kim held both hands up, showing her palms to Sally. "I'm not going to say a thing." Kim lowered her hands, stepped closer and put her arms around Sally. After a brief hug, Kim said. "As long as you're happy, so am I."

Sally hugged Kim. "You have no idea just how happy I am. Jack is the best!"

Kim and Sally released one another. They began talking to Jenny and Kathy about clothes and the things they liked to wear.

"Want to take the helm, Tom?" Eddie asked.

"Sure." Tom took over steering the boat toward the destination Eddie showed him on the chart plotter.

Eddie sat next to Tom, watching him at the helm. "Do you know how much time you and your family are going to spend down here after the yacht is finished?" Eddie asked.

"Not really. I think we'll spend the winters in Florida. You never know what our parents have in mind. If I had my way, I think I'd live down here all the time. Michigan is nice, but this is great—especially the beaches."

"Yeah, the scenery is pretty good on the beaches. The scenery isn't too bad on the boat either. Kim and Sally are really cute."

"Jenny and Kathy are hot too, Eddie. I guess we're all pretty lucky guys."

"No doubt! When you guys are down here, you and Jack will get to live in the same house as the girls—that would be cool."

"We're going to live together in Michigan too. My parents are selling our house and we're moving in with Jack and Kim. I guess our parents decided they didn't need three houses."

"Do you have a big house in Michigan?"

"My uncle Don and Aunt Marge have a very big house. They're going to do some remodeling to make a bedroom out of the recreation room for my mom and dad. Our house is almost as big, but we don't have an enclosed pool."

"You guys have an enclosed pool?"

Tom gave Eddie a description of the house, telling him about the pool, main floor and the bedrooms. As Tom talked, Eddie shook his head.

"Sounds nice," Eddie said.

"Someday you guys will have to come up for a visit. I think you and Brad would like salmon fishing."

"I like any kind of fishing. It's really cool that my sister is into it, too."

"I think it's cool to be close with my sister. I knew kids from our old school that didn't get along with their sisters."

"I know kids like that too. The four of us, Brad, Kathy, Jenny and me really get along. It's fun when we travel to tournaments on the boat. We hardly ever get into arguments with each other."

"What do you plan to do after you graduate?" Tom asked.

"I want to go to college to learn to design boats like my dad does. I hope to work with him someday."

"Why don't you work at the boatyard now?"

"I might work there this summer. Brad and I have been talking to my dad about it. Our sisters might work with my mom. She manages a shop in West Palm. Dad said he wants us to concentrate on our school work so he doesn't want us working while we're in school."

"Jack and I are really looking forward to working at the boatyard this week. I don't know what to expect, but I'm sure we'll keep busy. Our sisters are going to be working with April, our steward."

"How many people is it going to take to crew your yacht?"

"I really don't know yet. Jeri says at least four, but probably six when we have a charter. Oh, plus the chef."

"I've read some about the yacht charters. They sound like fun, expensive, but fun."

"The yacht is going to be cool, but to tell you the truth, Jack and I would like to have a boat like this. We love fishing and Tomiko is way too big for that. Our dads have talked about buying another boat, a fishing boat, so Jack and I can learn how to operate something a little bigger than Jack's boat."

"If you get one, we could go to tournaments together. It would be a blast."

"I think we'd get smoked! We don't know anything about this kind of fishing except what we're learning from you guys."

"We didn't know that much when we started. Jenny and I worked for a fishing charter last summer and learned a lot from Nate, the captain. I read everything I can get my hands on about fishing and we practice when we can. We learned a lot by joining the fishing club too."

Eddie pointed at the chart plotter. "We need to slow down. We're almost to where we want to start fishing." Standing up, Eddie began scanning the water for birds or debris. "I'm looking for birds or something floating in the water. Anything that will tell us there's baitfish."

Jack and Brad got up. They began looking out over the water, helping Eddie search for signs of life. Brad saw something and asked Eddie for the binoculars. Holding them to his eyes, Brad focused on what he had seen.

"There's birds diving over there," Brad said, pointing in the general direction of the birds.

Tom made a slight course adjustment when Eddie told him to. Brad went to the rail, looked down and told the girls what was going on. Jenny and Kathy took the rods that Brad handed them from the rocker launchers, placing them in the rod holders in the top rail.

When Tom had the boat close to the flock of feeding birds, Eddie told him to slow to eight knots. Tom pulled back on the throttles, slowing the boat to the speed Eddie told him to achieve.

In the cockpit, the girls began setting the lines. Jenny and Kim lowered the outrigger on the port side of the boat while Sally and Kathy attended to the starboard side, sending teasers out behind the boat. Once the lines were out, the girls stepped back to watch. Kathy took the harness out of a locker, getting it ready in the event they hooked a fish.

Tom followed Eddie's instructions as he told Tom what to do. They trolled for a half hour; making three passes though the birds, without a bite.

"I think we should re-rig for wahoo and dolphin," Brad said. "I don't think there are any sails here."

"Works for me," Eddie said. "Let the girls know we're changing up."

Brad yelled down to Jenny, telling her about the change in plans. The girls reeled in the teasers, replacing them with lures and live baits. When the lines were back in the water, Tom made another pass.

"If we were fishing a tournament, we'd move. Because we're just out here to have some fun, we're going to try for different fish," Eddie said.

Brad's idea to change was fruitful. The first fish hit after another fifteen minutes of trolling. Sally fought the first fish, landing a nice wahoo. While the girls removed the hooks from the fish so they could stow it in the hold, another rod went off. Kim grabbed the rod after Brad told her there was a fish on. She set the hook and began the fight.

Kim's fish, a small dolphin, was released to fight another day. Kim reset the line and put the rod in its holder.

"Well, we could let the guys have their turn or we could take another turn for ourselves," Jenny said. She giggled and added, "It isn't free though."

"What do you mean?" Sally asked.

"Sometimes, the guys will let us have another turn if we flash our boobs at them," Jenny said.

Kim giggled. "I like fishing."

"Hey, Eddie, we're going to keep fishing," Jenny yelled as she, and the other girls, stood with their backs to the transom.

Eddie started to laugh. He told Tom to set the autopilot and get up. The four guys stood at the rail, looking down at the girls. "This is always fun," Eddie said.

"What do you mean you're going to take another turn? It's our turn to fish," Eddie said.

"We know, but we want to take another turn," Kathy said.

The game was always the same, as were the results. After a few moments of bantering back and forth, the girls pulled their tops up and showed the guys their breasts. They giggled as they shook their shoulders, making their breasts jiggle.

Eddie, Brad, Tom and Jack laughed as they watched the girls. When the girls pulled their tops down, Eddie told them they had won and could take another turn.

Tom returned to the helmsman chair while Eddie sat next to him. Brad and Jack stayed at the rail, watching for the next fish.

"Do they do that often?" Jack asked Brad.

"All the time. It's a game we play. When it's just the four of us, Jenny and Kathy will take their tops off. There have been times when they got naked so they could keep fishing," Brad said.

"Would you guys let them fish if they didn't flash you?"

"Sure, but this more fun."

"I can't argue with that. Nothing like bare boobs to make your heart get going."

"We don't do it because we're perverts." Brad sounded like he was trying to justify what happened. "Like I said, we do it because it's fun."

Sally took the next fish. She fought the dolphin to the back of the boat and Kathy gaffed it. Once the fish was in the hold, Sally reset the line.

"I guess we should let the guys fish now, shouldn't we," Sally said. "I know Jack really wants to."

"We could flash them again and take another turn," Kathy said.

"Maybe later, I'd really like Jack and Tom to have their turn." Sally giggled. "They see our boobs all the time. I'm pretty sure fishing is more important right now."

"I've got an idea, why don't you and Kim fish with Jack and Tom? Jenny and I will go up with Brad and Eddie," Kathy said.

"Really? That would be so cool," Sally replied, her excitement was very obvious.

Jenny and Kathy checked the lines before heading up to the flying bridge. They sent Tom and Jack down to fish with their sisters.

"Jack gets to reel in the next fish," Sally said.

"Why don't we take the starboard side? Kim and Tom can take the port side," Jack said.

"Okay, that'll work," Sally said as she slipped her arm around Jack's waist.

Tom hugged Kim, kissing her on the forehead. "I'm having a great time, are you?"

"Yes, this is so much fun. I wish we could live like this all the time." Kim placed her hands on Tom's butt, pulling him closer to her. "You were an animal last night, Honey. I hope you saved some for tonight."

Tom chuckled. "You liked what we did then?"

"Baby, I loved it—I love you." Kim stretched up, kissing Tom. "I wish you could bend me over the side of the boat and screw me like you did last night. Just thinking about it makes me tingle inside."

Tom chuckled. He hugged Kim to him, kissing the top of her head. "This sun is making your hair even blonder than it already is."

Kim felt her heart jump. She had never realized Tom paid that much attention to her. While she had agreed to be with Tom so Sally could be with her brother, Kim hadn't felt the connection she wanted—not until just then.

"I didn't know you paid that much attention to me," Kim said.

"You're wrong, Honey. I pay very close attention to you." Tom chuckled. "Did you know your right boob is slightly bigger than your left boob?"

"Yes, but not that much bigger."

"No, it's very slight, but it is bigger. You also have a small birthmark on your pussy. Where your left leg meets your crotch."

"I didn't know that, it must be pretty small."

"It's very tiny."

Kim giggled. "Is there anything else wrong with me?"

"Kim, there isn't a thing wrong with you."

"I was just teasing." Kim turned her face up so she could kiss Tom again. "You're very sweet, do you know that?"

"I'm glad you think so." Tom glanced at the rods and then at his sister and Jack.

"Kim—um, you know I care about you for more than sex, don't you?"

"I do now. Thanks."

"Do you have any idea how happy I am that Sally and Jack are together?" Tom asked.

"Why does that make you so happy? I'm pleased for them too, I want my brother to be happy."

"It makes me happy because it gives me a chance to be with you. I can only hope that someday you'll feel the same about me as I feel about you, Kim."

"Tom! I love you, you know that."

Tom nodded, "I know, but lately, my feelings for you are changing, they're becoming much more intense. When you smile at me, I get butterflies in my stomach. Lisa never made me feel that way, not as much as you do."

Kim didn't know what to say. While she was fond of Tom, and loved him, she didn't feel as strongly about him as he said he felt about her. She still had very strong feelings for her brother, but she could see that she would be hurt if she didn't control those feelings.

Jack and Sally were visibly in love, to the point it was mushy. Kim had been watching them interact. She watched her brother's eyes follow Sally's every move and heard them exchanging words of endearment. Kim wanted to feel like that. She wanted to feel the love she thought her brother felt. The love Jack had told her he had for her.

The cry of, "Fish on!" interrupted Kim's thoughts. She looked at the rods to see which one was going. Jack grabbed the rod that was jumping and began to reel against the charging fish. When the fight ended, Tom gaffed a nice wahoo.

Jack put fresh bait on the line and then lowered it into the water. When it was back at the right distance, he locked the reel and put the rod in a holder. Sally jumped into his arms, kissing and congratulating him.

The group trolled for another two hours, landing a dolphin and another wahoo. Jenny came down to the cockpit and asked if Jack, Tom, Sally and Kim were ready to have lunch.

"Sure, I'm getting hungry," Tom said.

"We can stay out here or go in for a little while and relax, it's up to you guys," Jenny said.

Kim put her arm around Tom's waist. "I'd like to take a break if it's alright with everyone else," she looked up at Tom and smiled.

Tom nodded his head. Jenny helped clear the rods to get ready for the run into shallow water. Once everything was secure, Jenny took Sally's hand in hers. "Come on, it's your turn to drive."

Sally glanced at Jack, giggling when he nodded his head. She followed Jenny up to the flying bridge so she could take the helm.

"I haven't done this much, you'll have to help me," Sally said as she took the wheel in her hands.

"Don't hold the wheel too tight and relax," Jenny said. "It's really easy—just keep this pointer in the highway on the chart plotter." Jenny pointed out what she was referring to.

Jack went up to watch Sally, standing behind her. Once she had the boat on plane and relaxed a little, Jack put his hands on her shoulders.

"You're doing great, Sweetie," Jack said.

Sally giggled and said, "Thanks, this is fun."

"Just wait until you get behind the wheel on Tomiko."

"Do you really think I will be able to drive our yacht, Jack?"

"Of course—why wouldn't you be able to?"

"I don't know."

Jack squeezed her shoulders. Sally wiggled in the seat, enjoying the feeling of his strong hands. After a moment, Jack lightened his grip, but he didn't remove his hands.

Tom leaned against the bulkhead of the cockpit. Kim moved in front of Tom, leaning back against him. She reached behind her, found his hands and brought them around her body. Tom hugged her from behind, dropping his head to kiss the top of Kim's head.

Kim settled into Tom's arms. She stared at the white wake the boat caused in the blue ocean, feeling mesmerizedby it. Tom gently rubbed one hand on her stomach, making small circles.

The combination of the boat's motion, the blue water, and Tom's hand made Kim feel very relaxed. She sighed, thinking about the past few days and all that had transpired. Kim tried to decide just when things changed as well as why. Before they had left for Florida, she had thought she and Jack would be together as boyfriend and girlfriend, but now that seemed distant.

Kim remembered the whispered conversation she and Sally had in the truck while Tom drove and Jack slept in the front seat. Sally had told Kim how she felt about Jack and asked Kim if she would be upset if they got together. Kim told Sally she wouldn't be upset, but she didn't really know why she said it.

Her father's words rang in her head. "Go along to get along," he would tell her and her brother. He told her it wasn't always important to be right. She could remember some of the other things her father had told her. "People don't own other people" was one of the things she was taught long before she had sex with Jack, long before the families had money.

Thinking about her relationship with Paul, and how many times they had disagreed, made her realize she never loved him, not the way she loved Jack—not the way she wanted to love someone. With Jack, it was always easy. They were together more than they were apart. He never made demands of her. He was never cruel to her. She thought for a moment and recognize the fact the same was true of Tom.

Another of her father's sayings popped into Kim's head. "You will only receive as much as you give." Don was always reminding her and Jack that giving was much more important than receiving. Kim knew he practiced what he preached; she had seen it over and over again. Her dad had always been willing to help someone, giving of his time before he had won the money. Since winning the lottery, her parents and Tom's parents had done many things for many people, they were making dreams come true.

Tom was sweet. He always treated Kim with respect and love. Maybe she was the one that had the problem; maybe she was the one that wasn't willing to give. Maybe if she just quit worrying, things would work out for her. She wanted love and she had someone that seemed more than willing to give it to her. Kim took a deep breath. She knew what she had to do—she had to give and not expect anything in return.

Turning in Tom's arms, Kim looked up into his eyes. She watched his eyes light up and the smile form on his face. Stretching up, she gave Tom a kiss.

"Tom, how would you feel about me if we didn't have sex?" Kim asked, keeping her eyes locked with his.

"The same way I do now, Kim. I'd love you. I like sex, but I love you. Given the choice I would rather have you with no sex than to have sex and no you." Tom kissed her tenderly. "Kim, I know you don't feel the same way about me as I feel about you. It doesn't matter to me. I'll settle for what you're willing to give me."

Kim felt the tears filling her eyes. She leaned her head against Tom's chest, trying to hide the fact she was crying. Tom's arms tightened around her, holding her securely against him.

"You deserve so much more than me, Tom. You are so sweet and loving."

"I think I should be the one to decide what I want or deserve. I just want you to know that I'm willing to wait—no matter how long it may take. As long as there is hope, I'll be here." Tom hugged her even tighter. "Kim, is there hope?"

Looking up, Kim smiled and nodded. She wiped her eyes with her sleeve and then gave Tom a kiss. "Tom, there's hope. I hope I can quit being a selfish little brat and give back to the people that give to me. I don't just mean you, but everyone. I know I can be a bitch at times, but maybe I can change. Tom, will you please help me change?"

"Sure, what do you want me to do?"

"Just keep loving me—can you do that?"

"Kim, I can't stop loving you. I have never been able to stop loving you. Remember when we were small and we played on the swings at the park? Remember how I always wanted to push you and how Jack and I would argue sometimes."

Kim sighed and nodded. "I thought you just wanted to touch my butt." She giggled, trying to lighten the mood.

Tom saw she was kidding and laughed. "Well, I did, but I also wanted to show you how much I cared. I've had a crush on you for a very long time."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I just did, didn't I?"

"Yes, but you could have told me before you know."

Tom shook his head. "Not really, the time just never seemed right before. I didn't want to drive you away. I was afraid you would think I was being silly because I loved my cousin more than just as a cousin."

"Maybe you're right, Tom. Maybe it's time now though, now that I'm not a little kid."

"You haven't been a little kid for a long time, Kim."

"You're so wrong, I'm just starting to grow up. I need someone to guide me—will you do that for me, will you guide me—help me grow up?"

Tom nodded and then kissed her.

"Tom, there's something I'd really like you to do. I want you to make love to me. Not just sex, but really make love to me."

"Nothing would make me happier—nothing in the world."

The boat began to slow. Tom and Kim locked in a passionate kiss, hugging one another like their lives depended on it. For Kim, it just might. They were still hugging and kissing when the boat coasted to a stop. The steady drone of the engines disappeared and then the sound of the anchor being dropped echoed across the water.

"I think we there," Tom said.

"Maybe, but I know we're very close. Tom, I really do love you. Thanks for loving me."

"You make it very easy." Tom gave Kim a light pat on her bottom. "Even if you are a brat."

"I want to be your brat, Tom. Is that okay with you?"

"You bet it is."

The clamor of the other teens coming down the steps from the flying bridge brought Kim and Tom out of the little world they had drifted into. Sally, with Jack at her side, went over to Kim and her brother. She began telling them about driving the boat, but she stopped.

"What's going on?" Sally asked.

Kim hugged Tom. "I'm growing up and your brother is helping me. I'm hoping you and Jack will help me too."

Sally hugged Kim, whispering in her ear. "You can count on it—you know we all love you, don't you?"

"Yes, I know. I just hope I can give back as much as you guys give me."

"It's easy. All you have to do is start trusting, Kim. None of us want to hurt you, or see you hurt."

"Come on, girls, we have lunch detail today. How does chicken salad sound?" Jenny said.

"Sounds great to me," Kim said and then she moved her mouth to Tom's ear. "I'd rather have a hotdog."

Tom chuckled and said, "Yeah, and I've rather have a tuna taco."

Kim gave Tom a strange look. She thought about what he said and then smacked his arm. "I don't taste like fish—do I?"

"No, Honey. It's just a guy joke. You know, like eating at the Y, or having hair pie."

"Boys! You're so disgusting sometimes." Kim giggled and then kissed him.

Kim, Sally, Jenny and Kathy went into the cabin. The four guys stayed in the cockpit, looking at the fish in the hold.

"It's getting hot outside," Kathy said. She glanced at Sally and grinned. "Maybe we should put our suits on."

"I think you're right, Kathy," Sally said.

The girls went down to the staterooms. They put on their micro bikinis and looked at each other. Giggling, they went back up to the galley to fix lunch.

"You guys have real Wicked Weasel bikinis, ours are knockoffs. You can find them at the shops by the beach for half the price," Jenny said.

"Our moms bought these for us," Kim said. "They also bought suits for themselves. We all walked on the beach at Lake Michigan with them on."

The girls giggled and goofed around as they prepared lunch. They put chicken salad in pita bread pockets and placed the sandwiches on a platter. Once lunch was ready, they each grabbed something to carry out to the cockpit.

"Lunch is ready," Kathy said as she, and the other girls, stepped though the doorway.

The guys turned around and their jaws dropped when they saw the girls in the tiny bikinis. Tom and Jack gawked at Kathy and Jenny, while Eddie and Brad checked Kim and Sally out. Once they were over the initial shock, the guys started to whistle.

"Okay, you guys act like you've never seen four hot chicks in bikinis before," Kathy said.

"Well what did you expect? Did you really think you guys could come out here looking like that and not have us all drooling over you?" Eddie said.

"Get the chairs out so we can sit down and eat," Jenny said. "You guys can stare at us later."

Brad and Eddie pulled the deckchairs out. Tom and Jack set them up, arranging them in a circle. Once the chairs were in place, they all sat down to eat.

"This is great," Jack said after swallowing the mouth full of food he was eating.

"What, the lunch or the scenery?" Kim asked her brother.

"Both, but lunch will be finished and the scenery will still be here."

They all laughed. The guys nodded their heads. None of the boys were able to keep his eyes off the girls. After lunch, the guys took the dishes into the galley. They washed them and put them into the cabinets before cleaning up the counters. When they were finished, they started for the cockpit.

"I think we may be a little over dressed," Brad said. "I'm going to put my suit on before I go outside."

The other guys agreed. They went below to change into their bathing suits. When Jack pulled his and Tom's suits out of the bag, Jack said, "Shit, I forgot the girls packed these things." He held the suits up to show Tom.

"Is everything okay?" Eddie asked as he stuck his head in the stateroom.

Jack held up the suits. "Yeah, Kim and Sally packed these for us."

Eddie stepped into the room wearing a Speedo much like the ones Jack was holding. "So, what's the problem?"

Jack and Tom broke out laughing. They quickly changed into their suits and went up to the salon. Brad and Eddie were already there and Brad held a stack of towels.

"We might want to go for a swim," Brad said holding the towels up.

The four of them went out to the cockpit. The girls giggled and made catcalls as the guys took their seats. They all sat in the warm sun, enjoying each other's company. After an hour, Jenny got up.

"I'm going to jump in the water to cool off," Jenny said. "We're in about four feet of water so don't dive. I'll get the swim ladder and attach it to the swim platform so we can get out."

Eddie told his sister he would take care of the ladder. He went into the engine room, retrieved the ladder and brought it out. Once it was in the clips, Eddie flipped it into the water.

Jenny started to giggle. She shrugged her shoulders, reached behind her back and removed the top of her suit. While she removed the bottoms, she said. "I don't swim in this suit. The saltwater is hard on it."

When she was naked, Jenny went through the transom door. She turned around, smiled and then went down the ladder. Kathy got up to join Jenny, removing her suit before she jumped into the water.

Sally and Kim were next. They stripped and jumped into the water holding hands.

"Let me see, I could get into the water with four naked girls or sit here and look at you guys—hmmm." Jack laughed, stood up and pulled his suit off. "You know what they say, when in Rome..." Jack jumped into the water next to Sally.

Brad, Tom and Eddie scrambled out of their chairs. They removed their suits, went to the swim platform and jumped in. It only took a moment for the teens to couple up and begin playing in the warm ocean.

They splashed water at each other, swam and frolicked in the water, laughing all the time. Sally went to Jack, hugged him and then gave him a kiss.

"Want to play chicken?" Eddie asked.

Sally giggled and pushed on Jack's shoulders. When he stooped in the water, she climbed on his shoulders. The others did the same thing and the battle began. Kathy was the first to be dislodged from Eddie's shoulders.

Kathy and Sally began dueling, grabbing at one another in an attempt to knock the other into the water. Kim and Tom came over and helped Sally pull Kathy off Eddie's shoulders.

"We won," Kim said.

"Like hell, this isn't teams," Sally replied as she grabbed Kim's arm. Kim fell backwards, falling off Tom.

The group played a few more games with each of them winning at least one bout. They decided they had enough and got out of the water. Jenny used the wash down hose to rinse the saltwater off the others and then Kathy held it for her. They toweled off before flopping in the chairs.

Kim giggled and said, "This is great! I never thought I'd have so much fun while we were down here."

"No kidding, I didn't think it would be this much fun either," Jenny said. "I'm really glad we got to do this. I also hope we can do it again sometime, sometime soon."

"Wait until you guys meet Cindy, Kevin and Erin. They're fun to have along too. It would be too many to sleep on the boat, but we can go out to fish and swim," Kathy said.

"Do they get naked too? I really love being naked in the sun," Sally said.

"We love seeing you naked," Jack said. "At least I do."

Sally giggled and then winked at Jack.

"Yeah, they like to do it, too," Kathy said.

The teens sat in the sun, talking and goofing around. Jack told the group about getting caught in the storm on Lake Michigan and having to spend the night on his small boat.

"That was pretty quick thinking," Eddie said. "A lot of people would have tried to make it back to port. That's how they get into trouble on the water."

"He was so cool when we were in the storm," Sally said. "I was scared half to death, but Jack got us into the cove safely."

"Having a cool head is very important when you're boating," Eddie said. "We're very careful about paying attention to the weather when we're planning to go out. If you're not careful, you can get caught in a storm. I always try to keep an eye to the sky and watch the radar."

"Is that why you always have a radio to the weather station?" Tom asked.

"Yes. I know it isn't very interesting, but getting caught off guard isn't either," Brad said.

It was close to four in the afternoon when they decided to head back to port. They had talked about fishing, but decided relaxing in the sun was more appealing to the girls. Once they had dressed, they pulled the anchor and headed to the marina.

Jenny docked the boat in the slip. The four guys tied it off and took care of the power and water. Once everything was shut down, Eddie and Brad began to wash the boat down with fresh water and a brush. Tom and Jack helped them and it didn't take very long to complete the task.

The girls cleaned the inside of the boat and finished the laundry. Kim packed the bag and took it up to the salon. Sally carried Tom's camera bag up to the salon, placing it by the duffle bag.

None of the teens wanted the day to end. Jack invited Eddie, Brad, Jenny and Kathy to dinner, but they said they had homework to finish. Finally, they all said goodbye and left.

Jack and Sally sat in the back seat while Tom drove. When the got back to the hotel, they went up to their room, dropping the bag on the floor. Kim grabbed Tom's arm, pulled him to the bed and then down on it. They kicked off their shoes before snuggling together.

Sally took off her shoes and the shorts she was wearing. She stretched out on the bed she and Jack shared, watching, as Jack got ready to join her.

"We should go to dinner before we fall asleep," Jack said.

"Can't we just take a short nap? I'm too tired to eat right now," Kim said.

Jack looked at the clock. It was already six in the evening and he knew that if they fell asleep, they probably wouldn't get up. Getting off the bed, Jack checked the room service menu to see what time they stopped serving.

"We can get room service until ten o'clock. Why don't I set the alarm for eight so we get a two-hour nap? When we get up, we can order food and eat in the room."

"That sounds perfect. If I'm going to take a nap, I'm going to be comfortable," Kim said as she sat up and began undressing. When the only thing she had on were her panties, she snuggled next to Tom.

Sally also stripped to her panties. She pulled back the covers before getting back into the bed. Jack set the alarm, removed everything except his boxers and slid in next to Sally. They cuddled together, trading soft kisses before they closed their eyes.

Tom spooned against Kim's back, rubbing her stomach as he wiggled to get comfortable. Taking his hand in hers, Kim put it on her breast. She twisted her head so they could kiss before she fell asleep.

Chapter 9


The phone rang, waking Jack from his peaceful nap. He groped around until he located the receiver, picked it up and said hello into the mouthpiece.

"Hi, Mom, what's up?" Jack asked, falling back on the pillow and covering his eyes with his forearm.

"What's going on? We haven't heard from you kids today," Marge said.

Jack sat up, hanging his feet over the edge of the bed. "Sorry, when we got back to the hotel, we all took a nap." Jack looked at the clock. "It's almost ten o'clock!"

"I know, that's why I called. I was starting to get worried."

"I'm sorry, Mom. I set the clock for eight, but I guess I didn't do it right. Can I call you back in a few minutes? We only have fifteen minutes to order dinner."

"Okay, call me back. Are you sure everything is okay?"

"It's great, Mom. We had a great time today. I'll tell you all about it later."

Jack and his mom hung up. He shook Sally and then woke Tom and Kim. They were still half asleep, but managed to order something light before it was too late.

"It's a good thing Mom called or we would have had to go out to dinner," Jack said. "I must have set the clock wrong."

"It went off, but I hit the snooze button," Tom said. He sat up and looked at the clock. "Shit, I turned the alarm off."

"No big deal, we got our order in. I guess we should put something on before they get here with the food," Jack said.

Sally pulled the sheet up under her chin. "Can I just stay in bed?"

"If you want to." Jack looked at her and smiled. "Just keep yourself covered."

Sally nodded, tightening the sheet. Jack chuckled, found a pair of cotton shorts and pulled them on. Tom got up, putting on the jeans he had been wearing earlier, while Kim snuggled under the covers.

Jack opened the door to the room when he heard a knock. A young girl pushed a cart into the room, trying hard not to glance at the two girls in the beds. She handed Jack the bill so he could sign it, leaving quietly after he did.

The teens had ordered a snack tray. The tray had cheese, crackers, fruit, fresh shrimp and an assortment of vegetables. After removing the foil cover from the tray, Jack picked up one of the plates.

"What would you like?" Jack asked Sally.

Sally got out of bed. She stood near the cart, looking at the food arranged on the tray. As she pointed, Jack put the items on her plate. Sally took the full plate from Jack, thanking him. She sat on the bed, balancing the plate on her outstretched legs. After filling his plate, Jack joined Sally on the bed.

"This looks yummy," Kim said as she put pieces of cheese on her plate. She added some of the shrimp, a few crackers and some of the raw vegetables. Tom stood next to Kim, putting food on his plate.

"This was a great idea, Jack," Tom said as he ate an olive. "Eating something like burgers wouldn't be too smart—not at this time of night."

Sally held a grape up to Jack. He smiled, opening his mouth so Sally could put it on his tongue. Kim had watched her cousin feed her brother. She was about to make a comment about how silly Sally was acting, but she didn't. When Jack offered Sally a carrot stick, Kim smiled.

Picking up a shrimp, Kim dipped it in the red sauce on her plate. With one hand under the shrimp to catch any of the sauce that dripped, she offered the shrimp to Tom. When he took it from her, Tom kissed Kim's fingertips.

The two couples fed themselves as well as each other. Kim felt giddy as she and Tom exchanged bites of cheese and crackers. What she started out thinking was lame, turned out to be fun. One of the things that really surprised Kim was how Tom's eyes would stare into hers as she fed him the small morsels of food. She could see how they sparkled, as he gazed lovingly into her eyes.

"You have pretty eyes," Kim said softly. She smiled when Tom winked at her.

"You're beautiful period."

Kim giggled. She had never really looked at Tom's eyes, not like she was doing at the moment. When she thought about the times she and Tom had had sex, she felt shallow. Kim realized that she had thought of her cousin as just another guy that she had sex with—sex with little or no emotional attachment. Taking the shrimp Tom offered, Kim felt a chill run down her spine.

"Would you like me to get you a robe or something? You look like you're shivering," Tom said.

"I'm okay, thanks," Kim told him. She grinned and added, "You can warm me up in a few minutes."

Jack finished his snack. He called home, talking with his mother for a few minutes and telling her about the great time everyone had on the boat. After apologizing for failing to call, he told Marge he would be sure to call the next day when they got back to the hotel. Jack said goodbye and handed the phone to Kim.

"Hi, Mom," Kim said. "How are you?"

"I'm fine, Honey. Jack said you kids had a good time."

"Mom, it was one of the best days ever."

"Really? Why?"

"It just was. I'll tell you all about it when I see you on Thursday. We're eating right now." Kim giggled. "Tom is trying to put a piece of cheese in my mouth right now." Kim opened her mouth, taking the cheese on her tongue.

"Okay, I'll let you kids finish your dinner. We'll see you Thursday afternoon."

"See you then. Oh, we have a meeting on Thursday night. We're going to go to a fishing club meeting with Jenny, Kathy, Brad and Eddie."

"Goodnight, talk to you tomorrow. Make sure Sally and Tom call home before it gets too late."

Kim and her mom hung up. "Call your mom, Tom. My mom said she's waiting to hear from you and Sally."

Tom nodded. "Sally, do you want to call Mom?"

Sally nodded. She called home, talking to her mom for a few minutes. When she was finished, she handed the telephone to her brother. Tom told his mom about the fishing trip and how much he liked the new friends they had met. After chatting for a few moments, Tom said, "Well, I have to go. Kim is trying to stuff a shrimp in my mouth."

Tom and Anne hung up. Leaning back on the bed, he accepted a shrimp from Kim. Instead of using her fingers, Kim held the shrimp between her lips. When Tom took it from her, they kissed.

The tray was almost empty when everyone said they were full. They took turns washing up before settling on the beds. They sat up, talking for a few minutes. Sally stretched out, resting her head on Jack's leg. He ran his fingers through her light brown hair, feeling its silkiness.

Looking up at Jack, Sally said, "I'm so tired. I didn't get much sleep last night."

Jack glanced at the bed Tom and Kim were in. He was expecting a remark about what Sally said, but there wasn't one. Kim and Tom weren't paying any attention to them.

Kim sat with her legs folded to her side, her fingers stroking the top of Tom's thigh. Tom had his hand on her naked back, moving his fingers slowly. They gazed into one another's eyes, neither of them saying a word.

Jack smiled, returning his attention to Sally. "Want to go back to sleep?"

"Maybe in a little while." Sally leaned close to whisper. "Do you want to fool around first?"

Jack slid out from under Sally's head. He removed his shorts and pulled back the covers. When Sally moved under the covers, Jack got in the bed. He pulled the sheet and blanket over them before taking Sally into his arms. She snuggled against him, putting her arm over his chest. Jack worked his arm under her, resting his hand on her bottom. He rubbed her, feeling the slippery texture of her panties against his hand.

Sally wiggled, trying to get closer to Jack. Her hand drifted down his chest, coming to rest on his penis. She began fondling him, causing his penis to expand. When Sally tried to move her head lower, Jack pulled her against him, stopping her.

"Let's just cuddle for a few minutes, Sweetie," Jack whispered.

Sally nodded, rubbing her cheek against his chest. Her hand stopped moving on his member and then her breathing changed. Jack bent his head down, kissing Sally on top of her head. Shifting slightly, Jack got comfortable without waking her. A few minutes later, he was asleep too.

"Looks like the kids are sleeping," Kim whispered, giggling softly as she did.

"Yeah, they're lightweights." Tom kissed Kim's cheek. "I guess we should turn off the lights."

"Mmmm, do you want to get me in the dark?"

"Not really, I'd rather look at you." Tom kissed her again, this time on the lips.

Kim put her hand behind Tom's head, holding his lips to hers. She opened her mouth, welcoming his tongue. While they kissed, Kim squirmed against him. With their mouths locked in a passionate kiss, one of the most passionate Kim had ever experienced, they realigned themselves so they were lying on their sides, facing each other.

Tom removed his mouth from Kim's. He kissed her chin, and when she lifted her head, he kissed her neck. Kim moaned softly as his lips and tongue moved over her warming flesh. She squirmed against him, pressing her pelvis into his. Tom shifted to reduce the pressure of Kim's undulating crotch. His penis was swollen, poking out of the fly in his boxers. Tom kept his mouth moving, covering Kim's neck and shoulders with soft wet kisses. She moaned as he came closer to her breasts.

Kim ran her hand up and down Tom's side. When she approached his penis, he managed to redirect her hand. "Just relax, Baby," Tom whispered, placing his hand against her shoulder and pushing her on her back.

Tom continued to kiss Kim, avoiding her breasts. She tried to guide his head, but he rebuffed her, centering his tender kisses a couple inches above her mounds. Tom leaned back, propped his head on his hand and gazed at Kim's body. With his other hand, he stroked her, using his fingertips. He moved across her collarbones and then down between her breasts. Kim shivered as his fingers moved over her stomach and around her navel. The closer he came to her sex, the more excited she became.

Kim lifted her bottom off the bed as Tom's fingers approached her mons. Sliding his hand into her panties, he toyed with the thin strip of light pubic hair that adorned her mons, moving his fingertip in a tight circle. Lowering his head, he kissed her. Kim put her hand behind his head, pulling it tightly to her open mouth. She pushed her tongue into Tom's mouth, moaning when he gently sucked it.

Tom removed his hand from Kim's mons, putting it against her cheek. Kim wiggled on the bed, her body trying to increase the contact with his. Once again she tried to play with his penis, and once again, he stopped her.

"Don't you want me to touch you?" Kim asked.

"Sure, but there's no hurry."

"You are making me so hot, Tom. I want to make you feel good too."

"I feel great, Baby. Can't we just cuddle and kiss for a while?"

Kim sighed, nodding her head. Tom shifted so his head was on the pillow, his arm across her chest. He rubbed her side for a moment, reached over to the nightstand and turned off the lamp. Tom found Kim's lips in the dark, kissed her and then snuggled against her side.

"Goodnight, Baby—I love you," Tom whispered, and then he kissed her again.

"Goodnight? Don't you want to... ?"

"I want to hold you and fall asleep with you in my arms."

Kim took a deep breath. Letting it out slowly, she rolled away from Tom, lying on her side. Tom scooted against her back, put his arm over her and pulled Kim to his chest. Her breasts rested on top of his forearm and his rigid penis pressed against her bottom.

Tom nuzzled his nose in her hair, kissed the back of her head. He told Kim he loved her again and closed his eyes. Kim put her hand on his arm, pushing it up against her breasts. She slid her hand along Tom's arm, interlacing her fingers with his when she felt his hand.

"I love you too," Kim said under her breath.

Tom smiled when he heard her, but he didn't let her know he had heard what she said. He closed his eyes, relishing the warmth of her body against his.

Kim felt Tom against her back. She could feel his chest rise and fall with each breath he took. While being in Tom's arms was soothing, Kim was frustrated and confused. She wasn't used to having her sexual advances refused. Most of the time she got what she wanted when she was horny and in need of satisfaction. Even her own brother would usually give in to her when she wanted sex.

As she thought about her sexual encounters of the past, Kim realized most of the time she did it for her and didn't really think too much about who she was having sex with. At least not their pleasure. Kim usually concentrated on her pleasure and the ultimate goal of reaching an orgasm. Tears filled her eyes while she thought about just how selfish and shallow she had been in the past.

Tom tightened his arm around Kim. She wept silently, wishing she could relive the past months. Kim decided right then and there she was going to change — change for the better. She decided that she would be more sensitive to others and pay more attention to how she behaved. Sighing, Kim realized Tom was more interested in her as a person than just someone to have sex with. Feeling better, Kim settled into a deep sleep.

-------

"Wake up," Sally said as she shook her brother's arm. "Time to get up."

Tom rolled onto his back, removing his arm from Kim for the first time since he fell asleep the night before. Looking up, he nodded at Sally.

"Jack and I are going to take a shower. You two can have the bathroom when we're finished," Sally told Tom.

"Okay, I'll make coffee," Tom replied.

"Jack already made a pot. We've been up for a few minutes."

Sally left for the bathroom. Tom rolled onto his side, shaking Kim's shoulder gently as he gazed at her. When she rolled on her back, stretching her arms over her head, Tom kissed her.

"Morning, Sweetie." Tom kissed Kim again. "Time to get up."

"Mmmm, good morning." Kim put her hand behind Tom's head, pulling it down so she could kiss him.

Tom got up and stood next to the bed. He reached for Kim's hand, but she wouldn't let him get a hold of it. Chuckling, Tom leaned over and kissed her neck.

"Good morning, neck." Tom kissed her again, causing Kim to giggle.

"Good morning shoulder." Kim continued to giggle as Tom kissed her, saying good morning to each spot his lips touched.

"Good morning, right boob. Good morning, left boob. Good morning, left nipple. Good morning, right nipple." Kim stopped giggling. She gently stroked the back of Tom's head as he kissed and greeted body party.

"Mmmm," Kim moaned as Tom's lips journeyed down her chest to her navel.

"Good morning, bellybutton," Tom said. He poked his tongue into the indentation, making Kim's stomach quiver.

While kissing around her waist and hips, Tom worked her panties down. Kim lifted up, letting him remove the garment while his lips grazed over her skin.

"Mmmm, good morning, pussy." Tom pushed Kim's legs opened so he could touch her vulva with his lips. "Good morning, right thigh. Good morning, pussy. Good morning, left thigh. Good morning, pussy."

"Don't you think my pussy knows it's morning yet?" Kim asked, watching Tom.

"Not yet. Your pussy doesn't hear too well." Tom kissed her sex again. "It has nice lips, but no ears."

"Maybe you should kiss my pussy's lips some more; it really likes that."

Tom stood up. He bent over to kiss her mouth and Kim pulled his head down to hers. When their lips met, Kim moaned into Tom's mouth. After the heated kiss, Kim sat up on the edge of the bed. She fished Tom's erection out of his boxers and kissed the tip of it.

"Good morning, cock."

Tom and Kim chuckled. She kissed his testicles, wishing each of them good morning. Kim stood up, sliding her body against Tom's as she did. They kissed again, wrapping their arms around each other.

"You're a nut; you know that, don't you?" Kim said, looking up into Tom's eyes.

"Yeah, I know. I'm your nut if you want me."

Kim kissed Tom. "More than anything in the world."

"Okay, you two can have the shower," Sally said as she walked out of the bathroom. "We have to get going if we're going to get to the boatyard on time."

"All right, we're going, we're going," Kim said and then she looked up at Tom. "Want a cup of coffee?"

"Sure."

"Okay, I'll get it for you, Baby." Kim kissed his chin before releasing Tom and getting him a cup of coffee.

Kim gave Tom his coffee. They went into the bathroom, glancing away as each of them used the toilet. Tom took a few sips of his coffee as he watched Kim adjusting the water in the shower. When she got in the stall, Tom put his cup on the counter and joined her.

Tom and Kim took turns washing each other; stealing brief kisses as they rubbed the soap on one another. When they finished, they got out to dry themselves. Kim was quiet, watching Tom as he rubbed his towel across his back.

"Is everything okay?" Tom asked.

Kim nodded.

"You're very quiet this morning. Is something bothering you?"

Kim shook her head, but Tom knew something was on her mind. He tossed his towel on the wet towels left by Jack and Sally. Taking Kim in his arms, he held her tightly. Tom didn't say any thing as he hugged Kim. She took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. Tom kissed her wet hair, rubbing his hand up and down her back.

Tom let his hand drift down to Kim's bottom. He brushed over it lightly, causing Kim to wiggle against him. She sighed, feeling safe and secure in Tom's arms. Kim kissed his chest, feeling his muscles respond to her lips. She looked up into his eyes, smiling at him.

As they stood in the bathroom, locked in a firm embrace, Kim felt the warmth of their closeness flowing through her body. Her heart pounded in her chest and her throat felt choked with emotion. Kim could tell something was happening to her, but she wasn't really sure of what it was. The feelings she was experiencing were new to her.

"We're going to be late if we don't get going," Kim said, her voice almost a whisper.

"I know, but I like holding you like this."

Kim stretched up so she could kiss Tom. The kiss began as a light meeting of their lips, but quickly escalated into an all out passionate kiss. Their mouths opened and their tongues dueled as they increased the tempo. Kim's body began to tingle, not like it did when she became aroused, this was different. She felt she could feel Tom's love for her fill her body and mind. Tears began to run out of her eyes while she hoped she could return the love he showed for her.

When they finally separated their mouths, Kim hugged Tom as tightly as she could. She kissed his chest, stepped back and looked at him as she held both Tom's hands.

"That was the best kiss I've ever had," Kim said. For the first time, she really meant it.

"There's plenty more where that came from, Sweetie."

Kim nodded. Glancing down, she was surprised to see Tom wasn't excited; at least his penis wasn't erect. For a moment, she thought he didn't find her attractive, but quickly realized she wasn't sexually excited either. Kim smiled when she thought that what they had shared must be love.

Tom and Kim began finishing their morning routine. They stood next to one another at the sink, brushing their teeth and doing the things they normally did alone. When Tom coated his face with shaving gel and began to shave, Kim watched his every move.

Jack and Sally were finished dressing when Tom and Kim came out of the bathroom. Kim looked at her brother, smiling from ear to ear at the look on his face. Jack could tell something was different about his sister, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Sally noticed too. She went over to Kim, put her mouth near her ear and whispered to her.

"I think someone is falling in love with my brother," Sally said.

Kim could only grin and nod her head. She surprised Sally when she gave her a hug. Neither of them said anything when they separated. Kim began to dress. She knew Sally was right about how she felt about Tom.

When the four of them left the room, Kim took Tom's hand in hers. She rubbed her thumb across the back of his hand as she swung their arms. In the elevator, she leaned against him.

"I wonder what we're going to do today?" Sally asked while they sat at a table in the restaurant waiting for their breakfast.

"Tom and I are going to be in the engine room most of the day," Jack said. "We're going to be learning how to operate all of the machinery and about the engines."

"Should we talk to April about the uniforms today?" Kim asked. "Maybe we can even go to Jenny's mom's shop this week."

"I think we should. It might take a while to have them made once we decide on what we want," Sally said.

"Don't we need to know what sizes we need?" Tom asked.

Kim giggled. "We'll just get them in size twelve and then hire girls to fit them. That way you guys won't be chasing after the help."

Tom looked at Kim. He smiled at her and said, "That won't be a problem, Sweetie."

Kim felt her heartbeat increase when Tom said what he did. She smiled at him—and believed him.

Finished with breakfast, they left for Bowman's boatyard. It was ten to eight when Tom pulled into the lot and parked the truck. Dressed in their jeans and tee shirts, the four teens prepared for their first day of working on the yacht—their yacht.

Harry Shockley met the teens as they walked toward the office. He asked them if they wanted coffee or sodas before heading to the yacht. Tom and Jack both asked for coffee. Kim and Sally told him they were okay for moment. Harry led them into the office and then to the small kitchen. He showed them where everything was, telling them to help themselves whenever they want to.

"I heard you guys had a good time on the boat," Harry said as he filled three paper cups with coffee.

"We had a great time, Mr. Shockley," Kim said. "We hope we're able to do it again."

"Look, I appreciate the fact you call me Mr. Shockley, but it seems a little strange to me. I'm not used to having my customers refer to me that way."

"Thanks, but we're not used to calling adults by their first names," Tom said and then he chuckled. "Our parents would be very upset if we did."

Harry nodded. He felt the same way about his children and had always taught them to respect adults. Harry's clients included families with teenage children, but most of them were spoiled and treated adults around them with disrespect. He never liked it, but knew it wasn't his place to say anything to the parents of the brats.

"Are you ready to get started?" Harry asked. "Jeri and April are on the yacht."

"I think we're ready," Jack said. "How long have they been here?"

"We start at six most mornings. In the summer it gets hot early so we try to work in the mornings when it's cool. The crews usually knock off at about three in the afternoon unless we're trying to meet a deadline."

"Tomorrow, we'll be here at six then," Tom said.

Shaking his head, Harry led the teens out of the office building. They walked to the shed where Tomiko was being finished and went inside. The boat was buzzing with workers, each of them busy at their task. Jeri was in the pilothouse, talking to one of the technicians that were installing the electronics.

After a brief greeting, Jeri told Kim and Sally where April was working. The two girls said goodbye to their brothers, left the pilothouse and went to find April.

"What's going on with you and Tom?" Sally asked as they worked their way down to the guest staterooms.

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. I know you agreed to hang out with Tom because I wanted to be with Jack, but this morning I could tell something changed."

"I'm falling in love with him, Sally."

"I thought you did love him."

"Oh I did, but not like now. I mean I'm falling head over heals in love with him. Sally, it's all new to me." Kim grinned at her cousin. "Last night, Tom didn't want to have sex with me. I was shocked at first, but I found it was nice to just have him hold me. I've done that before, but only when I wanted it that way."

"It is nice, isn't it? I mean it's wonderful to know that someone cares about you for something other than sex."

"Sally, it's even nicer to care about someone for something other than sex. Before, I did things because I wanted to be satisfied. I didn't think about how the guy felt—not even Jack. Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but I didn't do it for them, I did it for me and me alone."

"Maybe you can understand how I feel now. Maybe, you can accept the way I am. I'll do anything for Jack, anything."

Kim nodded, thinking about what Sally said. While she wasn't submissive, Kim could accept how Sally felt even if she didn't completely agree with her. After all, if that was what Sally wanted, who was she to say she was wrong.

"That's cool," Kim said, causing Sally to stop walking.

Looking at Kim, Sally said, "Thanks, Kim."

Kim and Sally found April in one of the guest staterooms. She was talking to a worker, telling him something about the head. When she saw the two girls, April stopped talking to the worker.

"Hi, Kim, Sally. How are you guys this morning?" April said.

"Good morning, April, I'm doing great," Kim said. "What do you want us to do?"

Sally greeted April, and then asked what was going on.

"I was telling the tile man how I wanted the grout sealed. On a yacht, you have a problem with mold and mildew if you don't keep up with the cleaning. Mold will grow in the grout if it's not sealed properly," April replied.

"Don't they seal it properly?" Kim asked.

"Yes, they put two coats of sealant on the grout, but I want four or five coats. These guys are real good, but there are things I know, from working on other yachts, that will make the mates' jobs easier."

"How often do they clean the heads?" Kim asked.

"Everyday, twice a day or more when we're out," April said. "When our clients are paying for a charter, we want the yacht to be spotless at all times. If one of our guests takes a shower, we'll come in and clean the head when they're finished."

"It sounds like the yacht will never get dirty," Sally said.

"It won't. It's my job to make sure it doesn't." April chuckled. "If the bed gets used in during the day, we'll change the sheets before it gets used again."

"Don't the mates get in the way at times?" Kim asked.

"Not really. When our guests come aboard, we'll talk to them about how things are done on the yacht. Most of the time, everything is fine, but sometimes they have requests that break the normal routines. We do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't mean neglecting the yacht."

"It's their charter, right?" Sally said.

"Yes, but it's my yacht. I'm responsible for making sure everything in the way of guest services is taken care of. If the guests are unreasonable, I have to work around them, but not so it affects the way things are done."

"It sounds like being a mate is hard work," Kim said.

"It can be, but it can be fun too. When we book a seven-day charter, there's twelve days of work for the crew. It takes at least three days to get the yacht ready for the charter and another two days to go through her after the charter ends. Before the guests arrive, we have to do the shopping for food and anything else the guests have requested. After the food stores are full, we wash all the bedding and towels. Then we do an extra good job of cleaning the yacht."

"How can you get it any cleaner than you keep it?" Sally asked. "From what you're saying, you clean it everyday."

"We'll wipe down all the light fixtures and the headliners, something that doesn't get done everyday. All of the lounges and deckchairs are scrubbed down. We'll do cleaning that we just can't do while we have guests onboard."

"How about the toys, you know, the wave runners and things like that?" Sally said.

"Anything that has an engine or goes in the water is Jeri's responsibility. The mates do the work, but those things don't fall under my responsibility. I take care of the inside and the sundecks."

"How do you divide up the chores?" Kim asked.

"Jeri is the captain, she will make up the duty roster for everyone. She'll ask me what I think, but she has the ultimate say. On a boat, there can only be one captain, one person in complete charge."

"We know, we've all talked about it before," Sally said.

April began going over the staterooms with the two girls. She showed them where things were going to be kept and talked about how what she would be doing while on a charter and when the yacht was in port.

Kim and Sally stayed with April, listening to her and asking questions. While the girls went through the yacht, Jack and Tom were in the engine room with Jeri and the engineer.

The engineer took the time to explain the engine room to Jack and Tom in great detail. As he went over each piece of equipment, he showed the two boys where to find information in the library of manuals kept in a fireproof cabinet. Jeri stayed with them, leaving for short stints to answer questions about things in other parts of the yacht.

-------

"Hi, Little-bit, how are you this morning?" Brad asked as he got in the van.

Eddie and Jenny had stopped to pick up Brad and Kathy on their way to school.

"Great, how are you?"

Jenny and Brad kissed before he took his seat and fastened his seatbelt.

Kathy knelt on her seat, leaning over to hug and kiss Eddie before she settled in for the short ride to school. She looked in back, smiling at Jenny.

"Okay, before any of you say it—I was wrong. There, are you satisfied?" Jenny said. "They were really nice and I like them, all of them—so there!"

Kathy, Brad and Eddie laughed. Reaching over, Brad put his hand on Jenny's leg.

"I'm glad you had a good time," Brad said. "I think they were fun to hang around with."

"I can't get over how willing they were to pitch in and help. A lot of the kids we've taken out never did nearly as much as they did. Jack and Tom are pretty good fisherman too," Eddie said as he drove to school. "I would definitely ask them out again."

"Me too. I think Kim and Sally are cool. They sure don't seem to mind anything we do," Kathy said. "I was floored when I found out they all messed around—you know?"

"It is weird, isn't it? "What are the chances of meeting someone like us?" Brad said. "I can't imagine how Tom and Jack must have felt when their girlfriends hooked up with each other. Losing a girl to another guy would be bad, but to another girl? That really had to suck."

"Who knows, maybe they will get together again," Eddie said.

"Not if Sally has anything to say about it. She is so in love with Jack! I think she would try to scratch another girl's eyes out if they tried to take him away from her," Kathy said. "We had a really nice talk."

"I think they are crazy for wanting to quit school. I guess if you never have to worry about money it's okay, but I would never do it. I like school way too much," Jenny said.

Brad chuckled. "I thought they were going to be pissed when you told them they were wrong."

"I just said what was on my mind. Is there anything wrong with that?" Jenny replied.

"No, not at all. Then again, you never have trouble saying what's on your mind, Jenny. I think that's one of the things that really turns me on about you," Brad said.

Jenny reached across the seat, placing her hand on Brad's leg. She rubbed his thigh, moving her hand up to his crotch. "Is there anything else that turns you on, Sweetie?"

Chuckling, Brad said, "You bet there is! If you keep that up, I'll have to stay in the van for a while before I can go into school."

"Well, we wouldn't want that to happen," Jenny said as she gave him a squeeze and then pulled her hand away.

Eddie parked in the school's lot. The four of them got out, heading to the building to start their day.

-------

On Tuesday, Harry Shockley met Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally on the yacht. He asked how things were going and if they needed anything. Jack assured him everything was fine.

"Mrs. Shockley and I would like to invite you to our house for dinner tomorrow evening. I'm sure you are getting tired of restaurant food by now. We're going to cook steaks on the grill," Harry told the teens.

"Thank you, that would be great," Kim said before even asking the others. "I would love some home cooked food."

"Great, we'll see you at the house at six then. Bring your suits so you can go for a swim. By the way, Brad, Kathy and their parents will be there too. I'll get you a map before you leave today." Harry left, walking down the ramp to the pier.

"Don't you think you should have asked if we wanted to go?" Jack said to Kim.

"I'm sorry, but it just sounded so good. Don't you want to?" Kim replied.

"Sure, but you should have asked first."

"Okay, I will ask next time. Besides, if you don't want to go, you can stay in the room."

"Not likely! I could use a good meal too." Jack laughed, smacking his sister on the butt. "Let's get to work."

Jack and Tom found Jeri while Kim and Sally went to look for April. Jeri was in the pilothouse, talking to one of the men working on the electronics. Jack and Tom stood close, listening to them. Once Jeri had told the man what she wanted, she turned to the two boys.

"Good morning. How are you guys today? I was just going over a few things I want added to the navigation systems. Are you ready to go back to the engine room and pick up where we left off yesterday?" Jeri said.

Jack and Tom nodded, following Jeri down to the engine room. When they arrived, Jeri began reviewing the things they had learned the day before. She went over how the water-makers worked and the maintenance schedule for the units. Next they reviewed the two large generators.

When lunchtime rolled around, Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally joined Harry in the conference room. Jeri and April were there along with Jack Waters. During lunch, they talked about the progress on the yacht. Jack told the group the joinery was coming along as planned and on schedule. Harry told the teens he didn't foresee any problems and that the yacht should be ready for delivery in a couple months, adding it would depend on the decorator.

"April, we would like to get started on picking out the uniforms for the crew," Kim said.

"We saw the uniforms Jenny and Kathy have for the Lady Guinevere and we really like them. Jenny said they got them the store her mom manages," Sally said.

"We can go look if you two want to. Have you thought about what you want?" April said.

"Not really, but Jenny said her mom has some catalogs we can look at," Kim said. "I think the uniforms should be comfortable for the crew. What do you think, April?"

"There are many styles available. Some crews wear nice polos with shorts or slacks. Some owners require formal uniforms with button down shirts matching pants. I would like to see the crew look professional, but also be a little less formal. We could have a couple different styles for the crew," April said.

"I like that idea. That way the crew can dress according to the client," Sally said as she looked at April. "Right?"

"Yes. Many of the yachts do the same thing. If they book a charter with older clients they wear the formal uniforms. If the clients are younger or don't care, the crew can dress casually. It really doesn't matter to me, I will expect the crew to work the same way no matter what they have on," April said.

Harry and Jack Waters listened to the girls, smiling as they talked about the uniforms for the crewmembers. "You can talk to my wife about the uniforms tomorrow night," Harry offered.

Kim and Sally nodded when Harry told them. During the discussion, they hadn't put two and two together; forgetting for a moment Harry was Jenny and Eddie's father. The lunch ended and all of them went back to work.

When they had finished for the day, Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally left for the hotel. They put on their bathing suits to go swimming in the ocean. On the beach, they played in the surf, taking breaks to sit on the soft sand and relax.

Sally sat close to Jack or was at his side when they were in the water. Kim and Tom also stayed close, but Kim didn't cling to Tom like Sally seemed to do with Jack. When they got up to go into the water, Sally would take Jack's hand in hers, holding it as long as she could.

Back in their room, the teens took turns in the shower. After Kim and Tom had finished, Sally and Jack got into the shower stall together. Sally stood facing Jack as he lovingly shampooed her hair. His fingers massaged her scalp as he worked the fragrant shampoo into her tresses.

"I can't wait until we can be alone," Sally said, placing her hands on Jack's hips.

Jack smiled, bent down and kissed Sally. "We will, Baby. I want to be alone with you too."

"Jack, I love you and I want to be alone with you. I want to make love when there isn't anyone listening to us—or watching. You know, like we did on the boat." Sally moved her hand from his hip to his penis. "I want to have you put this in me," she giggled. "Everywhere!"

Chuckling, Jack kissed her again. He put his hands on her bottom, pulling her close to his body. "How about here?" he asked, sliding his finger between the cheeks of her butt.

"Mmmm, I like it there, especially if you—um, you know, do it kind of rough."

"I wouldn't want to hurt you, Sweetie."

"It's okay if it hurts a little." Sally rested her head against his chest.

"Is that how Brad used to do it?"

"I don't want to talk about him, but, yeah, he was rough—too rough. He seemed to only care about him, not me. I think he was thinking of someone else when he did it." Sally sighed.

Jack knew what she meant, Sally had told him she felt Brad was thinking about another guy when they had sex. He hugged her tightly, feeling her body relax against his. After a moment, Jack said, "Wash me."

Sally perked up. She moved out of his arms, picked up the soap and began rubbing it over his body. Looking up, she smiled at Jack as she covered his body with soap. Sally finished his front, kneeling to wash his legs, but avoided his genitals. She had him turn around, rubbing the bar of soap over his back. Jack wiggled his hips when she fondled his butt with her soapy hands.

"Okay, turn around and I'll finish washing you," Sally said, her face aglow with a big smile.

When Jack turned to face her, Sally knelt on the shower stall floor. She soaped her hands, placing the bar on the floor next to her. Looking straight at his genitals, Sally began to slowly rub her hands over him. She fondled his scrotum, watching his penis grow. Jack's throbbing erection bobbed up and down with his breathing as she washed his testicles. Leaning forward, Sally kissed the head of his penis. She moved her hands from his sac, rubbing them over the length of his member.

Jack began moving his hips, sliding his penis through Sally's soapy hands. She glanced up at him, grinning as she tightened her grip around his shaft. He put his left hand on her head, tangling his fingers in her wet hair. Sally's grin got bigger as Jack pulled on her hair. Pushing her hands away from his penis, Jack began to stroke himself. He held Sally's face in front of him as he jacked off.

Sally waited for his semen, rubbing herself as she did. Her mouth was open and her tongue extended as she watched Jack's hand pounding on his member. Stopping for a moment, he slapped his penis against her cheeks. It only took a few moments for him to begin ejaculating after he resumed pumping his shaft. His cum splattered against Sally's face, dripping from her chin to her breasts. When he finished, Jack relaxed the grip on Sally's hair.

Staring up at Jack, Sally couldn't help giggling. His thick semen was warm on her skin, and she loved the feeling. Using one hand, Sally began to smear the slippery cum over her face, chest and breasts. Jack watched as she tried to rub the semen into her flesh as if it was lotion.

"Stand up," Jack said.

Sally scrambled to her feet, keeping her eyes locked with his. He leaned over, picked up the soap and started to wash his semen off her body.

"Thank you, Honey. I love that," Sally said as Jack soaped her breasts.

Jack had thought of the act as humiliating, but Sally seemed to relish it. She continued to giggle as Jack washed her, cleaning the substance from her face. After she rinsed herself, she hugged Jack.

Sally kissed Jack, standing on her toes to reach his mouth. She pressed her breasts against him, moving them across his chest, as they remained lip-locked for a moment.

Giggling, Sally said, "I came too! While you were jacking off, I played with my pussy and had an orgasm. I like to watch you do that—I loved it when you came on my face!"

Jack nodded, but his thoughts were elsewhere. He had seen pictures and videos of guy ejaculating on girls before. While he found it exciting, he also felt the girls were being humiliated. Sally and Jack finished in the shower, got out and began to dry off.

"Is something wrong, Honey?" Sally asked.

Jack shrugged his shoulders. He was having a bit of a problem with what happened and how he behaved. Sally's grin disappeared as she looked at Jack's troubled expression.

"You didn't like what we did, did you?"

"Sweetie, didn't you feel it was degrading?"

"No, not at all. I thought it was what you wanted to do."

"Well, maybe, but..."

Sally hugged Jack, her arms around his waist. Looking up, she smiled again. "I want you to do whatever you want with me, Baby. I love and trust you. I know you'll never hurt me. Like I told you before, this is what I want—please?"

Jack held Sally in his arms. He was still confused by her demeanor, but he was at least willing to try to do what she asked of him. While Jack could never do anything that would harm her, he could try to understand Sally's needs, no matter how peculiar they seemed.

Moving away from Sally, Jack took her chin in his hand. He tilted her face up, leaned close and gave her a kiss. "Let's get finished, I'm hungry, Baby."

Jack stayed in the bathroom, watching Sally fix her hair. When she took out her makeup bag, he said, "You don't need that." She put the bag back on the counter and picked up her toothbrush.

Finished in the bathroom, they went out to get dressed. There was a note on the bed from Kim, telling them she and Tom had gone down to the lobby to look in the shops.

"Wear a sundress tonight, I like you in those," Jack said.

Sally giggled, went to the clothes bar and picked out one of the sundresses that were hanging there. She slipped it over her head, tugging it in place. Jack had his back turned while putting on his boxers. He didn't notice that Sally had not bothered putting on any underwear at all. Once they were ready, they left the room to go find their siblings.

In the elevator, Sally wrapped her arms around Jack's arm. She held it to her side, pressing it against her breast. Jack chuckled, moving his arm against her. "I'm not wearing any underwear," Sally announced and then she giggled.

Jack put his hand under her dress, feeling her naked bottom. "Nope, you're not. Why?"

Giggling, Sally said, "You told me to wear the sundress, you didn't tell me to wear underwear."

Just before the elevator stopped at the main floor, Jack turned Sally around. He pulled the back of her short dress up, smacking her bare bottom. Sally giggled as she looked over her shoulder at him. When the car stopped, Jack put her dress down, covering her butt just before the doors opened. They got out, giggling as they held hands.

Sally and Jack walked around until they found Tom and Kim. They were coming out of one of the shops chatting about some of the things they had seen. When they saw Jack and Sally, Tom and Kim walked over to them.

"Where are we going to eat tonight?" Tom asked. "Want to try one of the restaurants we can walk to?"

"Sounds good to me," Jack said. "Why don't we go see what we can find? There are several restaurants close to the hotel."

"Are you guys learning everything you needed to know about the engine room?" Kim asked as they walked along the street.

"We're learning, but we still have a long way to go," Tom said. "There is so much to know about it that it's going to take a long time. I can't believe how much Jeri knows about the engines and other equipment."

"Why, because she's a girl?" Kim asked.

"No, not because she's a girl! It's just a lot to learn, that's all," Tom replied. "How are you and Sally doing?"

"Good, April has been telling us about what she expects from the crew." Kim giggled. "I don't think I'd want to work for her—she's very demanding."

"That's good. We want to have happy clients so we get referrals," Jack said. "Service is the name of the game from what April and Jeri have been saying. I think we're going to be glad we hired them."

"I still can't believe people are willing to spend so much money to charter a yacht. I guess it takes all kinds," Sally said.

"It's a lot cheaper to charter one than it is to own one, Honey," Jack said as he gave her hand a firm squeeze. "If someone pays a hundred grand for a charter, they could go many times before they even came close to the cost of a yacht like ours, let alone operating one."

"April said she and Jeri have been working on the operating budget for Tomiko. She wants us to take a look at it before we leave for home. She also said we'll get to meet the chef they have in mind next time we come down," Sally said.

"Good, I want to have something to show Megan when we get back," Jack said. "That is if she still wants to do the accounting for us."

Sally's gleeful mood changed when she heard Jack mention Megan. She wasn't sure if she wanted Jack to see Megan that often, but she also knew they had asked her to do the bookkeeping for the yacht.

Tom pointed at a restaurant. "How about here? This place looks okay."

"That's fine with me. I'm starved!" Kim said.

In the restaurant, the four sat in a booth looking over the menu. After ordering their meals, Kim asked Sally to go to the bathroom with her. The two of them got up, leaving Jack and Tom at the table.

"What's wrong, Sally? You look like something is bothering you," Kim said once they were in the restroom.

"I don't know—Megan."

"What? Why?"

"I don't want Jack to spend too much time with her, that's all. What if she changes her mind and wants him back? I love Jack and I don't want to lose him."

"I wouldn't worry about it, Sally. I think Jack is, or is very close to being over her. They may still be friends, but I don't think he'll ever go back to her. I don't' think Tom will go back to Lisa either." Kim gave her cousin a hug. "We just have to make sure they don't!"

"I hope you're right. I will do anything to keep Jack. I don't care if we are cousins, I love him and always want to be with him."

"Don't worry, between the two of us, we can keep them happy. I'm really falling for Tom. I never really felt like this about a guy before. I thought I was in love with Paul, but the way I feel about Tom is much deeper. He doesn't even care about sex—not more than he cares about me."

Once they finished in the restroom, Kim and Sally went back to the table. Their drinks and salads were waiting for them when they sat down. As she ate, Sally thought about what Kim had said about keeping Jack happy so he wouldn't want to go back with Megan. She didn't even know if Megan would want to, but she decided to do whatever she could to make sure Jack didn't want to rekindle the relationship.

Sally knew she had a little over a week left with him in Florida and she was going to put the time to good use. By the time they got back to Michigan, Megan would be the furthest thing from Jack's mind.

"Have April and Jeri determined what size crew they want yet?" Jack asked.

"April thinks there will be six or seven all together. She wants to talk to us about it when we go over the budget," Kim said. "The fewer crew members, the less we have to spend."

"That's true, Baby, but we don't want to sacrifice good service to try to save a few bucks. If they want seven or even eight crewmembers, we should listen to them. I'm sure they know better than we do," Tom said.

"You're right, Tom. I guess I'm thinking about how much everything costs."

Sally pushed her leg against Jack's, smiling when he pushed back. She liked the contact and knowing he did too. "What are we going to do tonight?" Sally asked.

"What would you like to do, Sweetie?" Jack replied. "We could rent one of the movies they show in the rooms if you want to."

Sally nodded. "Okay, if that's what you want to do it's fine with me. How about you guys, what do you want to do?"

"A movie sounds good to me," Kim said. "I'd like to kick back and snuggle tonight. Don't forget we're going to dinner at Jenny and Eddie's tomorrow night."

The server brought the meals to the table. After refreshing the drinks, she left the teens to eat. All of them had ordered crab salads, the house specialty. While they ate, the conversation shifted from the yacht to fishing. Jack and Tom talked about the trip they had taken with Jenny, Eddie, Kathy and Brad. They also mentioned how much they were looking forward to doing it again.

"Are we still planning on going to the fishing club meeting with Jenny, Kathy and their brothers on Thursday?" Sally asked, looking at Jack for an answer.

"Sure, as long as our parents don't have other plans for us. Kim, did you tell Mom we were planning to go?" Jack replied.

"Yeah, she said it was okay. They have something planned for Thursday night anyway. Mom said she and Aunt Anne were going to take Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Stone somewhere that night. I guess our dad is going to hang with the other men."

"Do you think we should consider joining the fishing club?" Tom asked. "It may be a way to meet people who can help with the charter business."

"I don't see where it could hurt. If nothing else, it will help support the club and deep-sea fishing. Who knows, maybe someday our dads will buy a fishing boat like they talked about before. The more I learn about the charter business, the more I realize we won't be going out with Tomiko as often as I thought we would, not on charters anyway," Jack replied.

"It isn't nearly a glamorous as we thought it would be, is it?" Sally said. "I don't know about the rest of you, but my perception has changed a lot. We'll probably use the yacht when it isn't chartered, but I don't think we'll be going on that many charters."

"I still think we should work on the crew a few times so we know how it's done. We don't want to depend on someone else all the time. Like we've said, the more we learn, the better it will be for us. Besides that, I think our parents would be disappointed if we didn't work on the yacht," Tom said.

"Disappointed? I think they would be pissed!" Kim said. "We had a lot of long talks about the yacht before we decided to get her and if we don't do what we said we were going to do, they will be upset."

Everyone agreed, although they didn't really know what they would have to do as crewmembers of their yacht. Each of them had different ideas, but none of them were really sure.

After dinner, the four teens left the restaurant. They walked along the street, watching the other people and looking into some of the small shops along the way. It was still warm, but not as warm as it had been in the evenings since they arrived. When Sally shivered, Jack put his arm around her shoulders. She put her arm around his waist, holding him close to her side.

"Look, isn't that outfit cute?" Kim said as she pointed at a shop window. "Let's go look at the clothes, Sally. We need more Florida clothes."

Sally looked at the short shorts and top Kim was pointing at. She looked up at Jack, giggling when he nodded. She and Kim went into the shop, leaving Jack and Tom on the sidewalk.

"Those two are really something else, aren't they?" Tom said.

"To say the least! I think they're the best though." Jack lowered his voice as if someone was listening in on them. "I hardly think about Megan anymore."

"Lisa is becoming a distant memory too. My time with her was great, but I think I'll be a lot happier with Kim—that is if she ever feels the same about me as I feel about her. Sometimes she is very hard to read."

"Who, my sister? Nah, she's not hard to read. You just have to ask her—trust me, she'll have no problem telling you right out."

"That's what I'm afraid of."

"Look, don't worry about it, Tom. I don't think you have a thing to worry about. Kim really likes you—she loves you as much as she has loved anyone before. She may not show it, but if you ask her, she'll tell you where you stand."

"That's what I'm afraid of. She might tell me something I don't want to hear, Jack. It's easy for you to say, Sally makes no secret of how she feels about you. Shit, I think she would shout it from the top of the highest building around if you asked her to. What if Kim tells me she doesn't feel the same way about me as I do about her?"

"At least you'd know, wouldn't you?"

"Yeah, I guess I would. Here they come, we can talk about this later, okay?"

"Sure, anytime."

Kim and Sally came out of the shop carrying bags. They told their brothers they found a couple cute outfits and couldn't wait to try them on for them. Both of them were giggling as they took the hands of their new mates.

About half way back to the hotel, Jack stopped walking. Standing in front of an ice cream shop, he said, "Who wants dessert?"

"I do, I want an ice cream sundae with whipped cream and nuts," Sally said.

Laughing, they went into the shop. Each of them ordered a sundae, taking the ice cream outside to eat it. While they sat at a small table, Jack and Sally traded spoonfuls of their sundaes. Kim made a comment about how they were acting, but shut up when Tom fed her a spoonful of his.

While they were eating, Jack looked up at his sister. He glanced at Tom and then said, "Kim, Tom wants to know how you feel about him."

Kim looked up at her brother. She pushed her ice cream around the plastic bowl with her spoon, seemingly in deep thought. After glancing at Tom, she said, "To tell you the truth..."

Chapter 10


Kim paused, looking into Tom's eyes. "To tell the truth, I love you, Tom—I mean really love you. I don't know what it is, but you make me feel so much different than—never mind, it doesn't matter. The fact is, I guess I've always known that Jack and I couldn't be together, not as lovers."

Kim smiled at her brother as they both nodded. "Jack, I love you with all my heart. I wouldn't trade the times we've had together for the world. Please understand that I would love to be able to have fun, but only if we're all there."

Tom's eyes opened as wide as they could. He stared at Kim for a moment before saying anything. His startled look turned into a smile. "I love you too, but you already knew that, Kim."

"Yup! I sure did. Now, I think we should finish our ice cream so we can go back to the hotel. I want to lay in bed and watch television while you hold me." Kim leaned over, giving Tom a quick kiss.

Sally squeezed Jack's leg under the table. Gazing in his eyes, she said, "This is so great! I hope we can always be together."

The four of them went back to the hotel. Kim and Sally took their bags into the bathroom so they could model the skimpy shorts and tops they had bought. When Sally removed her sundress, Kim giggled.

"Have you decided to quit wearing panties?" Kim asked.

"No, but when I asked Jack what he wanted me to wear tonight, he said a sundress so that's what I wore." Sally giggled. "He didn't say anything about panties."

"You're nuts, Sally."

"I know, but I don't care. I'm having a great time. So, you really love Tom?"

"I do. He is so sweet to me. I guess I never really knew how I felt, but now I do." Kim stripped her clothes off and then hugged Sally. "He gives me butterflies in my stomach just like you did when we first fooled around."

"Do you miss that? I do sometimes. I wonder what our brothers would say if we told them we wanted to fool around with each other."

"Sally, I don't think we should bring that up, not right now. I think what happened between Lisa and Megan still stings and we would just be opening healing wounds. I want to fool around again, but I think we should wait." Kim giggled. "That or include them."

Kim and Sally wiggled into the stretchy shorts and then put on the tops. They went out to show Tom and Jack the new outfits, hoping they would like them. When the two boys whistled, Kim and Sally giggled. They put on a show, turning and bending to show Tom and Jack how they looked in the tight clothes. They gave Tom and Jack hugs, listening to them say how much they liked the outfits.

Tom found a movie on television they all agreed to watch. Kim and Sally changed into tee shirts, climbed onto their beds. Jack removed everything but his boxers before climbing into bed with Sally. Tom striped naked and slid under the sheets with Kim.

"Kim, what did you mean when you said you'd still like to have fun with Jack" Tom asked as he worked his arm under her shoulders.

"Well, you know how much I love sex—right?"

Chuckling, Tom nodded his head. Next to them, Jack and Sally also laughed.

"Really, Kim? I hadn't noticed," Sally quipped.

"Anyway, I really liked it when the four of us fooled around before and I would like to think we can still do that once in a while."

"Sounds good to me," Jack said, sitting up so he could lean against the headboard of the bed. "Now?"

"No, not now. I think that I need some time to get to know Tom better and for him to get to know me. We've all been together forever, but never like this." Kim turned to look at Tom, gazing into his eyes as she continued. "I feel Tom and I have a lot to learn about each other's needs and wants. For the time being, I want to give all my love to Tom—and take all the love he's willing to give me."

"It isn't about sex you know," Tom said, stroking her cheek with the back of his hand. "I already told you I would love you even if we never had sex again."

"You're so sweet, full of crap, but sweet. I want to make love with you, Tom. I want to feel us connect intimately as well as intellectually." Kim giggled. "I want you to love me with both heads!"

"What about good old knock down, drag out sucking and fucking?" Sally asked, drawing laughter from all of them.

"You bet! I want that too. I just want to stick with Tom when we do it for now," Kim replied with a giggle. "We've all been on an emotional rollercoaster for a while now. I don't know about you guys, but things are starting to catch up with me. I've made too many mistakes thinking with my libido and I want that to change. Now I know what they mean when they say guys think with their cocks—girls can do it too, sort of."

"There's nothing wrong with having a little lust in your life, Kim," Jack said.

"There's nothing wrong with having love either. I've done way too much lusting and not enough loving, even if I thought it was love." Kim wiggled against Tom. "I learned someone can love you without having sex all the time."

"I still lust after you, Kim—as well as love you. You're hot and being close to you makes me nuts," Tom said.

"I know, Sweetie, I feel the same way. When you didn't want to have sex the other night, I did some thinking. I realized that I felt the same about you even though you didn't give in and do what I wanted you to do. Jack, you're the same way, but it's different if that makes any sense."

Sally giggled. "We're fifteen, we don't have to make sense, Kim. I'm really happy for you though, you and my brother."

"Thanks, I'm happy for us too. I just hope this lug will smack me along side the head if I start acting like a spoiled brat." Kim grinned at Tom.

"I don't think he'll do that, but I do know he will spank you," Sally said, and then she giggled.

"Would you do that? Would you spank me if I were bad?" Kim asked Tom.

Tom sat up, flipped Kim over his legs and pulled her panties down to expose her bottom. Before she knew what was happening, Tom gave her a couple playful smacks on her butt. Kim squirmed and giggled, but she didn't try to get away.

"That didn't hurt!"

Tom gave her a couple more smacks, harder than the last ones. Kim continued to wiggle around, but once again, she didn't try to move away. Taunting him, Kim received more. When she reached around to block his hand, Tom began rubbing her pink bottom. Kim relaxed, enjoying the feeling of Tom's hand on her warm butt.

"I didn't hurt you, did I?" Tom asked Kim, speaking softly.

Reaching behind her, Kim guided Tom's hand between her legs. He felt her wetness as he stroked her sex.

"What do you think?" Kim moved so her head was near Tom's and kissed him.

"That turned you on?" Tom whispered.

"Mmmm."

"I'll have to remember that."

"Uh huh."

Kim kissed Tom tenderly. They held the kiss for a moment before settling next to one another. Kim reached under the covers, removing her panties from around her knees. Tossing the garment on the floor next to the bed, she cuddled with Tom.

Sally nuzzled Jack's neck with her nose. "I think your sister liked having her ass spanked—just like I do."

"What is it with you and spankings?" Jack whispered back.

"It turns me on—okay?" Sally snickered and then gently nibbled at his earlobe.

"If you say so."

"Mmmm, I sure do. Maybe someday you'll find out just how much."

Jack shook his head, not really understanding why Sally felt the way she did about being spanked. While she had told him she really liked it, Jack wasn't sure it was something he could do. He didn't respond to her last statement about finding out.

While the movie played, Jack and Sally snuggled together. In the next bed, Kim tried to get as close to Tom as she could.

-------

"What time are they going to be here?" Jenny asked her brother.

"Who? Kim, Sally, Tom and Jack or Kathy and Brad?"

"Any of them. It's almost four thirty. I thought they would be here already."

"Didn't Dad say Jack, Tom and their sisters were going to be here around six or something?"

"Yeah, I forgot. Brad and Kathy should be here soon though."

Sally and Eddie were in the living room, finishing their homework. They had been studying for an hour and had almost finished the night's assignments. Jenny sat on the floor with her back against the couch. She had her history book balanced on her bent knees while her brother sat with his back against the armrest of the couch, reading the required chapters of his English book.

Eddie moved his leg, feeling it bump against the back of his sister's head. Jenny leaned back, resting her head against his thigh. Reaching down, Eddie began gently stroking her hair. Jenny closed her eyes, enjoying the attention. It had been a while since she and Eddie had shared any real intimately. In the past when Eddie would start touching her, even her hair, she would have become excited, but now she was just enjoying it.

Jenny began to wonder what she would do if her brother moved his hand to her neck, or her breast. Would it rekindle the feelings? Would she shun him? Eddie began moving his hand on her shoulder. Soon, his hand moved over her chest, coming to rest on her breast. Eddie casually flexed his fingers, massaging her breast through the tank top she was wearing.

The old feelings she used to have when they played and studied came flowing back. Jenny used to love it when her brother touched her—she still did. Reaching back, she put her hand on his thigh, sliding it up until she could feel his genitals through his shorts. As she fondled him, she felt his penis growing in her hand. Jenny shifted it, knowing if she didn't it would be uncomfortable to him.

Eddie put his book aside. He moved his hips, pushing up against Jenny's hand. After a moment, he slid his hand into her top and bra. He found her nipple, brushing his fingertip over the rigid nub. Jenny let out a moan, squeezing his penis as she felt the jolts of pleasure rocket from her nipple to her vagina.

Jenny realized where things were headed. While she wanted to, she also didn't feel right about it. Removing her hand from her brother's penis, she moved away from the couch.

"What's wrong?" Eddie asked.

Jenny turned around, kneeling near the couch and facing Eddie. She shrugged her shoulders, reconsidering what she wanted to do.

"Brad?"

Jenny nodded.

"Sorry, I just..."

"It's okay. I'm not mad or anything."

"Does this mean you and I aren't going to be messing around anymore?"

"I don't know. Part of me really wants to, Eddie." Jenny moved closer, resting her head on his chest. He put his arms around her, hugging her. "Sometimes I really miss it."

"I do too, but I guess it makes you feel guilty—like it does me."

Jenny looked at her brother. Nodding her head, she said, "Yeah, it does make me feel like I'm cheating on Brad. I know we all have agreed it's okay, but is it? I mean how can I be so in love with Brad and still want to have sex with you?"

"I don't know, Jen. I kind of feel the same way. Kathy is really great and I wouldn't want to do anything to hurt her, but I love you too."

"Why can't we come to terms with this, Eddie? Why do we say we're going to be true to Brad and Kathy, but then we can't keep our hands off each other?"

"You're just too sexy, that's why I can't stop," Eddie replied and then smiled. "I'm just teasing, Jen. I don't know either."

"Does that mean you don't think I'm sexy?"

"No, I think you're sexy—you know what I mean!"

Jenny giggled, went over to her brother and gave him a hug. She put her hand on his crotch, squeezing him gently. "I think you're sexy too!" Jenny removed her hand and kissed Eddie's cheek.

Eddie watched Jenny leave the room. She went to her bedroom, changing into a leotard so she could workout in the backyard. As she walked through the living room, on the way to the patio doors, Eddie whistled at her. She wiggled her bottom, giggling as she scurried through the room.

Jenny stretched out to warm up before going into a handstand. She opened her legs, lowering herself into the splits. Feeling the muscles pulling in her legs, she let out a groan. It had been a few days since her last workout and she was a little stiff. After a few minutes of twisting, turning and running around the backyard, she began to loosen up.

Kathy and Brad showed up. They talked to Eddie for a moment and then Brad asked where Jenny was. When Eddie told him, he went out to the yard.

"Hi, Little-bit, how you doing?" Brad said, watching Jenny go into a handstand.

"Hi. I'm just working out, how are you?"

Brad went to where Jenny was doing her handstand. When she opened her legs in an inverted split, Brad put his hand on her crotch. Giggling, Jenny lowered herself so she could stand up. She gave Brad a hug and kissed him tenderly. He held her, gripping her scantly covered bottom.

"I love these things on you. They make you look so hot!" Brad said as he kneaded her butt.

"Mmmm, I get hot when you play with my butt."

Brad and Jenny kissed again before releasing one another. They went into the house to see what Eddie and Kathy were doing. Eddie and Kathy were on the couch, sitting close while they talked. Brad sat on the far end of the couch, pulling Jenny onto his lap.

"Anything new going on?" Brad asked, looking past his sister at Eddie.

"Not really. How about you?"

"Nope. We need to find something to do when we're not fishing," Brad said. "It seems all we do is go to school, do homework, sleep and spend time on the boat."

"So, what's wrong with that? Look at our parents; they do the same things everyday, except they work instead of going to school. How much can we fit in? It isn't like we have an unlimited supply of money. Frankly, I think we get to do a lot more than some of the other kids we know," Eddie replied. "I'd rather be doing the things we do than hanging around at the mall or shit like that."

"Did you guys hear about those two girls that went to one of those rave parties? I heard they got drugged and ended up having sex with a bunch of guys," Jenny said.

"Yeah, I heard about that," Kathy said. "They were like fourteen or something like that. Cindy told me about it today, but I heard they took the drugs willingly. They were trying to be cool or something like that. I'm so glad we don't hang around with those losers!"

"I think we've already made our choices. We fish and fool around—what's wrong with that? It's a lot better than drinking, drugging and stuff like that. Our parents let us do things most other kids could only dream of," Jenny said, wiggling in Brad's lap. She turned to him, kissing his nose. "If you're bored, I think I know what we can to take your mind off it."

"Do you think sex is the only thing I want to do with you?" Brad asked.

"No, I know it isn't. I can't help it if I like having sex though," Jenny said. "I better get changed before our friends get here."

Jenny kissed Brad, slid off his lap and headed for her room. Kathy got up, following Jenny. They went into the bedroom so Jenny could shuck her leotard before taking a quick shower. Kathy sat on the bed, chatting while Jenny undressed.

Eddie grabbed one of his fishing magazines, thumbing the pages. "I saw something in here that looks interesting. I want to see what you think about it."

Finding the page he was looking for, Eddie handed the magazine to Brad. "What do you think about heading up to North Carolina for a tuna tournament? I think we could make the run in a couple of days if we have good weather."

"I don't know, do you think our parents will let us take the boat that far? I'd like to go, it looks like it pays well, forty thousand for first place," Brad replied.

"We can ask. The trip would be about ten days. Two to get there, three days of practice, two days for the tournament and two days to get back. If we plan for ten days, we have an extra day for weather or problems with the boat."

"Do you thing we can compete? We've never fished for tuna."

"There are tuna in Florida waters, we've just never targeted them. We could practice here. There are tournaments closer, but I thought it would be a fun trip," Eddie said.

"I guess we could see what Jenny and Kathy think. If they want to go, we can ask our parents." Brad glanced at the magazine, reading the details of the tournament.

"I worked out today," Jenny told Kathy as she peeled the tight leotard off. "I'm way out of shape! I need to get back into a routine."

"You aren't doing gymnastics anymore, why do you want to workout?" Kathy asked.

"It's good exercise and it keeps me flexible. It also makes me stronger."

Jenny padded out of her room, telling Kathy she would be right back. Kathy decided to wait in the living room with the guys.

"Brad and I are thinking of entering a tournament in North Carolina. What do you think?"

"I don't know, Honey. What kind of tournament?"

"Tuna. It pays forty thousand for first place," Eddie replied.

"Here, look at the article," Brad said as he handed the magazine to his sister. "I'm going to talk to Jenny about it."

While Kathy looked at the information, Brad went to Jenny's room. She was putting on a pair of shorts when Brad came in. He told her about the tournament, watching Jenny put on her bra and top.

"I don't care, the tournament sounds like fun." Jenny put her arms around Brad, hugging him. "Spending ten days with you sounds like even more fun!"

Brad and Jenny went out to sit with Eddie and Kathy. The four of them discussed the tournament, questioning whether or not they would even be able to go. Kathy wanted to start planning the trip, but Eddie said they should wait until they talked with their parents.

They all went out to the patio, sitting around the table. A half hour later, their parents began arriving. Once all the adults were there and had a chance to change, Eddie brought up the tournament.

"We'll have to think about that," Harry said to his son. "You kids haven't fished for tuna before."

"I think a ten day trip that far away is a bit much," Sarah Waters said.

"Mom, we're old enough to go—aren't we?" Kathy asked.

"I don't know. Let us have some time to think about it." Kathy's mom smiled at her daughter. "We should get started on dinner, your friends will be here any minute."

Jenny and Kathy went to the kitchen with their moms. Eddie and Brad got out the grill, setting it up on the patio. A few minutes later, Ellen escorted Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally out to the patio. Jenny and Kathy came out too.

After a quick greeting, the teens began talking about the fishing trip they had shared. Harry and Jack Waters went in the house to prepare the steaks for the grill.

"How are things coming on your yacht?" Jenny asked.

"Okay, the more time I spend on her, the more I realize just how little I know," Kim said. "We're learning though. You guys should stop by and take a look around."

"I'd like to see it," Kathy said. "You don't mind?"

"Not at all. Come by anytime you want to," Kim replied.

Mrs. Shockley came out to ask for help with setting the tables. When Jenny and Kathy got up, so did Kim and Sally. While they set the tables on the patio, Jack, Tom, Eddie and Brad talked about the upcoming club tournament.

"We're fishing in a youth tournament next Saturday," Eddie said. "Would you guys like to come with us? We have a lot of fun."

"Sounds good to me. What do you think, Tom?" Jack said.

"Sure, I'd love to. We better check with Kim and Sally though."

The next time the girls came out with dishes, Jack said, "We were invited go with these guys on a tournament next Saturday. Tom and I said yes, but we want to make sure it's okay with you two."

"I want to go," Sally said as she distributed the silverware around the tables.

"Sounds great," Kim said. "We promise to stay out of the way."

"What do you mean stay out of the way?" Eddie said. "On the Lady Guinevere everyone fishes when we're out."

"Really? We get to fish too?" Tom asked.

"Yup, we all fish. If we get into the fish, we'll all get a turn," Brad replied. "We should do okay, we're fishing for dolphin and wahoo as well as bills."

"When we started having youth tournaments, we decided we would include several species instead of targeting a certain specie. We thought it would be more interesting and we'd get more participants. So far, it's working out pretty well for the club," Jenny said.

While they were talking, Jeri and April showed up. "Hi, guys, how's it going this evening?" Jeri said.

"Hi, we didn't know you and April were going to be here too," Jack said.

"Mr. Shockley invited us. He said you guys might want to talk about uniforms for Tomiko," April said.

The group sat around the tables, chatting while they enjoyed the thick steaks and the trimmings. The teens sat at one table, talking about the fishing club while the adults sat at the other table. After dinner, the girls helped clean up.

Once the tables were cleared, the women gathered around one while the guys sat at the other. Ellen brought a small stack of catalogs out to the table so Kim and Sally could look at the various options for uniforms.

"First, you have to decide how you want the crew to dress," April said. "It can be very formal, or very casual. The formal uniforms usually consist of white button down shirts and slacks. White during the day and dark pants for evenings or at night."

"What do you suggest?" Kim asked.

"It's up to you and Sally," April replied.

"Can we have both?" Kim asked. "We could have formal uniforms for some charters and casual for others, depending on our clients."

April chuckled. "Sure, it's your yacht and you can do whatever you want to."

"We don't really know, that's why we're asking you," Sally said. "I like Kim's idea though."

"Okay, why don't we take a look at some of our options and go from there. Ellen, I think we should start with the casual uniforms first because they will be the easiest to decide on. I would suggest pull-over collared shits with a two or three button neck for the men and four button for the women," April said.

Ellen took out one of the catalogs. She opened to a page of polo shirts, pointing out several different options. Kim and Sally looked over the selections, asking April for her opinion. They looked through several catalogs before deciding on the causal uniforms for the crew.

"Okay, we're going to have two different shirts, white and navy blue. The women will have white and navy skorts, shorts and slacks. The men will have shorts and slacks. For the formal uniforms, we can just change the shirt style. We can have button down white shirts, both short and long sleeve," April said.

"Sounds good to me, how about you Sally?" Kim said.

"I like it."

"Jeri and I will have the same thing as well as dress uniforms with epaulets on the shirts. We'll also have jackets for formal evenings," April continued. "We want to have jackets for cool weather as well as foul weather gear for the crew. The chef is going to wear a typical uniform, but have shorts too. We want the chef to be comfortable when cooking outside."

"Do you want the polo shirts embroidered?" Ellen asked.

"I would, the jackets too. I don't think we should embroider the dress shirts unless Kim and Sally want to," April said. "I also think we should have ties for formal evening parties."

Ellen made notes while April went over the options. She said she could have samples ready the next time Kim and Sally came down. April told Ellen they would have to wait until they hired a crew before placing an order.

"How about towels, sheets, robes and things like that? Can we get them through you too, Mrs. Shockley?" Sally asked.

"I would think I could get anything along those lines you'd like. I don't have any catalogs, but I will get some from my distributors."

"We want the towels, napkins and pillow cases embroidered too," April said. "I think we should count on our guests taking a towel or two as a memento of their trip and order accordingly. We can select the colors after we meet with the decorator."

"I want big towels for the sundeck," Kim said. "Something our clients can use on the lounges. Don't forget about robes. I think we still want to provide kimonos."

"Kim and I didn't bring our notebook. Would you please give us a copy of your notes when you can, April?" Sally asked.

"No problem, I can make copies for you tomorrow at the boatyard." April jotted down a few more things before closing the notebook.

At the other table, the guys talked about the mechanical equipment on the yacht. Jack and Tom asked questions about some of the things they'd learned and Harry answered them. The conversation shifted when Jack started talking about the hull he had seen in one of the sheds.

"That hull was going to be a raised pilothouse motor yacht. The owner passed away, leaving me with the hull unfinished. I hope to find someone that is interested in it," Harry said.

"Why don't you just complete it and then sell the yacht?" Tom asked.

"Most owners like to be involved from start to finish. Finding you guys was a lark—although I'm very happy you decided to purchase Tomiko," Harry said.

"I think you should build a long range convertible, Dad. I'll bet there is someone out there that would buy it. It could be a luxury fishing machine," Eddie said. "Viking makes them and from what I read, they have no trouble selling them."

"Not a bad idea, Eddie, but we really don't build that type of boat. Bowmen has always been known for our custom motor yachts. I'm sure someone will decide to have it finished someday. The man that ordered it paid for the work to date so I'm not really out anything at this point," Harry said.

Jenny, Kathy, Kim and Sally came over to the table where the guys were talking. They said they were going to put on their suits so they could go swimming. The guys told them they would change in a few minutes and join them.

Jeri and April decided to leave. After saying goodbye to everyone, they went to their car and drove off.

-------

"It sounds like you have the uniform issue settled, April," Jeri said.

"I think so, we'll have to wait until I see the samples before making a finial decision. This has been fun so far, Kim and Sally are letting me put in a lot of my ideas."

"They don't know much about it."

"True, but you and I both know that usually doesn't make a difference to owners. Most of them want to run the show even if they don't have a clue," April said. "I think we're very lucky to have landed this gig."

"I think so, too. I really like them, and the way they are so willing to accept input from us." Jeri reached across the console of the small car, putting her hand on April's leg. "Sometimes it still feels like a dream, Sweetheart."

Removing her hand from the steering wheel, April began rubbing the back of Jeri's hand. "I know. It's hard to believe that we'll be moving out of that tiny apartment. If we play our cards right, we should be set for a long time."

"Do you think we'll have to work at the house when we're not working on Tomiko?"

"I don't know, but then it doesn't really matter to me. If Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Lewis want us to take care of the house, I think we should. They already told us we could use the main house when they're not there so helping keep it clean is no big deal." April squeezed Jeri's hand. "I can't wait until I get into that kitchen, I'm going to cook you a feast!"

"Speaking of cooking, when are we going to introduce Yoshiro to the kids?"

April chuckled. "I don't think it would be a good idea to call them kids. I know they're young, but..."

"Okay, you're right. It's just hard for me to think of them as our bosses sometimes."

"Because they're so young?"

"No, because they're so nice. Anyhow, when are we going to introduce them? I really think Yoshi will be a good chef for Tomiko. Do you think we should take them to the restaurant he works for?"

"That's a great idea. What would you think of having a hibachi installed on the sundeck if they decide to hire him? I think that being able to offer teppanyaki style cooking would be something our clients would enjoy," April said.

"Maybe, we have to see if they are interested in hiring Yoshi before making that decision. If they want to hire him, or another teppanyaki chef, it would be a great idea. It would certainly add to the Japanese theme they are trying to achieve."

Jeri thought about the idea for a few moments, visualizing the sundeck in her mind. "You know, that could work. We could use the grill as a table when it's not being used for cooking. I'll bet Jack Waters could build a cover for the grill that would protect it from the weather as well as serve as a table."

"I don't know if it would work, but maybe it could be incorporated into the grill. All we would have to do is have a plate made that would go over the grill and we would have the hibachi too. It wouldn't be as large as the ones in the restaurants, but it might work."

"Maybe we can take them to meet Yoshi over the weekend when their parents are down here. That way everyone can meet him. I don't think Mr. Graham or Mr. Lewis really cares what their children do regarding the yacht, but it would be a nice night out for them. I'm going to call Yoshi."

April pulled into the parking lot of the apartment complex. While they walked toward the building, Jeri looked around. "I'm not going to miss this place, April."

"Neither am I. I'm getting tired of the thin walls and the way they keep this dump." April pointed at an overflowing dumpster.

Once they were in their apartment, Jeri and April put down their things. April took Jeri in her arms, hugging her. After a tender kiss, April said, "I have to type up the notes for tomorrow. Why don't you pour us a glass of wine and we'll get comfortable."

"Okay, tee shirt comfortable or nightie comfortable?" Jeri asked.

April moved her hands to Jeri's bottom, gripping her firmly. She kissed Jeri's ear, whispering, "Naked comfortable."

Giggling, Jeri wiggled against April. They moved apart so they could begin undressing one another. Once they were nude, April gave Jeri a pat on her butt.

"Go pour the wine. I'm going to get the notes typed before we get carried away. Jeri, I love you," April said.

"Love you too, Sweetheart. Hurry with your notes, I have a need that only you can satisfy." Jeri put her hand between April's legs, stroking her gently.

"Mmmm, if you don't stop, you know what's going to happen, don't you?"

"Yes." Jeri kissed April, moving her tongue into her mouth. "I'm counting on it."

"Get the wine, I'm going to get started. When I'm finished, I'm going to scratch that itch of yours."

Jeri went to the kitchen to get the wine. April took out her notebook computer, sat on the couch and began typing the notes she'd taken that night. April maintained a journal for the yacht, keeping track of things she needed to do as well as things that had been accomplished.

When Jeri came onto the room with two glasses of wine, April looked up smiling. Jeri placed April's wine on the coffee table, holding hers while she sat on the couch near April. Leaning close, Jeri watched April record the notes from the impromptu meeting.

April saved her work, shut down the computer and put it on the coffee table. Picking up her wine, she took a sip. Jeri moved even closer so their bodies were in contact with one another. Holding her glass in one hand, April put her other hand on Jeri's cheek, stroking her gently. They looked into one another's eyes, smiling as the feeling of closeness and love flowed through them.

Jeri and April communicated with their eyes, smiles and gentle caresses. When the wine glasses were empty, they got up. Holding hands, they headed for the bedroom, turning off the lights as they went.

-------

"That was fun," Kim said after another game of jousting.

The teens were in the pool. The girls had been mounting the guys' shoulders, trying to dislodge each other as they played.

"I think we're all about even," Jenny said. "Want to get out and get sodas or something?"

"I'd like a soda. Can we get out, Baby?" Sally asked Jack.

Jack nodded. Taking Sally's hand, they walked toward the shallow end of the pool. The rest of the group also got out. Everyone toweled dry before taking seats around a table. Jenny and Kathy went inside, returning with a tray of sodas.

"This is great," Tom said. "Thanks for having us over. The restaurant food was getting a little tiring."

"No problem," Eddie said.

"What's your school like?" Sally asked.

"It's cool. I like it there," Jenny said. "I used to be in gymnastics, but I don't do it anymore. I wasn't very good because I didn't practice as much as I should have. It's hard to find time for that and fishing."

"You were good, Jen," Kathy said. "Jen still works out with the team. She can tie herself in knots."

"I like it when she puts her feet behind her head," Brad said with a chuckle.

Jenny smacked Brad's arm. "Shut up!"

"Can you really do that?" Kim asked.

"Yes. I'm kind of flexible. I can do handstands, splits, inverted-splits, and things like that."

"What are inverted splits?" Sally asked.

"It's the splits while you're in a handstand."

"That sounds really hard."

Giggling, Jenny got up. She went to the grass, moving into a handstand, she spread her legs until they were perpendicular to her body. After holding the position for a moment, she lowered herself until she was doing the splits on the ground. Closing her legs so they pointed strait out, Jenny leaned forward. She flattened her body against her legs, grabbed her ankles and then opened her legs a little.

Sliding her arms under her legs, Jenny put them behind her shoulder. She rocked until she was on her back with her feet behind her head. Jenny held the pose for a moment before untangling her legs and getting up.

"That looks like it hurts!" Kim said.

"Not once you get used to it."

Kim giggled. "I can see why Brad likes it when you do that. Maybe I should learn."

"The handstands take a lot of strength, but the splits and putting your legs behind you only takes flexibility. You just have to keep stretching until you can do it." Jenny grinned. "If you decide to try, make sure you take your time or you can get hurt. It's real easy to pull a muscle."

"There's a lot of nice kids at our school," Kathy said, changing the subject. "There's a lot of drugies and other assholes too. We don't hang around with that crowd."

"Our parents let us do a lot of things, things other kids don't get to do. None of us are going to mess that up by getting involved with drugs or drinking. Our parents trust us until we show them we can't be trusted," Eddie said. "Having the boat and being able to fish is way more important to us than partying."

"Our parents are the same way. None of us get involved with that crap either," Jack said. "How about sports, do any of you play sports, other than Jenny's gymnastics?"

"No, I was going to try out for the swim team, but when I started fishing, I didn't. Our meets are on Fridays so it would interfere with the tournaments. I guess I could participate, but I would have to miss some meets and that wouldn't be fair to the team," Brad said.

"You guys really take your fishing seriously, don't you?" Sally said. "I can see why, it's a lot of fun."

"It is fun, but we learn a lot too. We learn about the fishery, biology, weather, tidal movement, mechanics and a lot of other things. I plan on going to college to become a biologist so I can work for Florida Fish and Wildlife," Jenny said. "I want to insure the sport is healthy and continues to give sportsmen the same enjoyment we get out of it."

"Our fishing club does a lot for the fishery. We raise money for different projects that learn about the different game fish. One of the things our club, and other clubs like ours, have done is bring back the swordfish. The fish aren't as big as they were before they were fished out by the commercial fisherman, but they're making a strong comeback," Kathy said.

"I remember you talking about swordfish and fishing for them. Don't you have to go way out to catch them?" Jack asked.

"Yes. You have to go at night too. Someday, I want to give it a try," Eddie said. "You have to make sure there is no bad weather predicted because of how far out you have to go."

"Do you know how to fish for swordfish?" Tom asked.

"Just what I've read. You don't troll for them like we do for billfish, you use live bait," Eddie said. "We have all the equipment we need to do it, we just have to learn a little more about it and then get permission to go out that far all night."

"Could we do that kind of fishing from Tomiko?" Kim asked.

"Sure, your yacht would be great for it. It's large enough to stand rough weather," Eddie said.

"Maybe we can take Tomiko out sometime and fish for swordfish," Kim said. "We don't have any tackle, but we could take yours or buy some."

"Tom and I plan on equipping Tomiko for fishing," Jack said. "Eddie and Brad said they would help us. We plan on using the tenders for excursions."

"I remember you and Tom talking about that. What else do you guys do at school?" Sally asked.

"Besides studying? We have been to a few parties," Kathy said. "We have gone to a few football and basketball games too. Our school doesn't have a real good football team, but our basketball team won our division this year."

"The swim team did pretty good this season too. I think they took second overall," Jenny said. "We didn't make any of the meets."

"Do you guys belong to any clubs?" Sally asked.

"No, we don't have time for those either. Like we said, we like fishing and the boat," Kathy said.

"It sounds like you liked school, Sally," Jenny said.

Sally nodded. Jack noticed her, watching as her smile grew.

Mrs. Shockley came out to tell the group it was time to break up. She reminded them they had school the next morning and it was getting late.

The teens went into the house to change out of their suits. Once everyone was dressed, Jack, Tom, Sally and Kim said goodbye. They thanked the adults for a great evening and told Eddie, Brad, Jenny and Kathy they would see them at the fishing club meeting the next night.

On the way back to the hotel, Tom drove while Jack and Sally cuddled in the backseat. They talked about the fun they had and the great meal.

"They are really nice, aren't they?" Sally said. "I like hanging around with them and their parents."

"They are cool," Jack said. "We all seem to get along well, too. I hope you don't get bored with all of the talk about fishing, Baby."

"Not at all. I'm interested in it too—maybe not as passionately as you are, but I like it. I like anything that lets me spend time with you," Sally said softly.

"Are we supposed to meet our parents at the airport or the hotel tomorrow?" Kim asked, twisting so she could look into the backseat.

"Shit, we forgot to call!" Tom said. "You better give your parents a call right now, Kim."

Kim took out her cell phone, dialing the number for home. When her dad answered, she told him she was sorry she called late.

"We went to Mr. and Mrs. Shockley's house for a barbeque tonight. We had a great time, but kind of lost track of the time," Kim said.

"No problem. How is everyone doing?" Don said.

Kim told her dad about the things they had done on the yacht that day. She also told him about picking out uniforms for the crew.

"Are we supposed to meet you at the airport or the hotel, Dad. We forgot."

"The hotel will be fine, Honey. We should be there by three or so. Do you remember which hotel we're staying in?"

"Um, not really."

Don chuckled and told Kim where they would be staying.

"Well, I better go so Tom can call home," Kim said. "We'll see you tomorrow afternoon."

"Aunt Anne and Uncle Marc are here. Who does Tom want to talk to?"

Kim handed the phone to Tom. "Hi, Uncle Don, is my mom available?"

"Hang on, I'll get her."

Tom and Anne talked for a moment. Tom told her they would see her tomorrow, said bye and then hung up.

At the hotel, Jack and Sally shared a shower, washing the chlorine out of their hair and off their bodies. While Kim and Tom showered, Jack and Sally went out on the balcony, wrapped in towels. Then looked out into the night, standing with their arms around one another's waists.

Jack moved Sally in front of him, wrapping his arms around her body. When he moved his hands to her breasts, Sally let her towel fall, pooling at her feet. Jack kissed the top of her head, inhaling the fragrance of her shampoo. He released Sally, reaching down to retrieve her towel.

"I don't want you to get chilled," Jack said, wrapping the towel around her.

"You can keep me warm."

Smiling, Jack hugged her back to him again. "My pleasure, Sweetie."

Sally cooed as Jack held her. She leaned her head back, resting it against his chest. Dropping his head, Jack kissed Sally's neck and then her ear.

"I love you," Jack said.

"I know. I love you too. You make me so happy!"

"I hope so. I'm trying to do the things you want, Honey, I really am. It's just kind of hard for me."

Turning in his arms, Sally faced Jack. She stretched up, kissing him tenderly. "I know, you're so wonderful! I love you to pieces and can't imagine being without you."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Hugging him, Sally said, "You know that if you want to have sex with someone else it's okay with me—don't you?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Jack moved Sally back so he could look into her eyes.

"I just want you to be happy, Honey. If you want to have sex with someone, go ahead, I'll understand."

"Sometimes you don't make a bit of sense, Sally! I told you I love you and I mean it. I don't want to make love with anyone except you."

"How about Kim? Don't you want to do it with her anymore?"

"I don't know, but if we do, you're going to be there—like we used to do."

"What about Jenny or Kathy? Do you want to have sex with them?" Sally asked.

"No, why would you say that?"

"Because of the way you look at them. You think they're sexy."

"They are, but not half as sexy as you are, Baby! Look, I don't want to talk about this—okay?"

Sally cuddled against Jack, nodding her head against his chest. They stayed on the balcony for a few minutes before going inside to go to bed. Tom and Kim were in their bed, hugging and kissing one another. Holding the covers for her, Jack watched Sally drop her towel before sliding into bed. He removed his towel, taking it to the bathroom along with the one Sally dropped on the floor. When he returned, Jack slid into bed next to Sally.

Rolling to face him, Sally put her arm over Jack. She wiggled close, rubbing her body against his. Sally kissed his lips, accepting his tongue when he offered it to her. After a few moments, she removed her mouth from his. She began kissing his chin, moving to his neck. Sally's hand slid down his body, coming to rest on his penis. While she gently stroked him, she kissed her way down his body.

Pushing Jack onto his back, Sally kissed and licked his genitals. She finally took his erection in her mouth, slowly moving her lips over the length of it. It didn't take long for her to bring Jack to his peak. Sally licked him clean after ingesting his semen. She kissed her way back up, snuggling next to him.

Jack took Sally's chin in his hand, turning her face to his so he could kiss her. They kissed for a few moments, moving their tongues in and out of one another's mouths. As they kissed, Sally moved so she was lying on his body. She moved her mons against his semi hard penis, moaning when it rubbed against her clitoris.

When he was fully erect again, Jack whispered, "Fuck me, Baby."

Sally stifled a giggle as she mounted his penis, guiding it into her vagina. Starting slowly, she rocked herself against him, feeling his penis filling her. Jack remained as still as he could while she moved on him.

"I love the feeling of your pussy around my cock, Sweetie," Jack whispered in her ear. "You are so warm, wet and tight!"

"My pussy loves the feeling of being filled with your big cock. You make me feel so wonderful," Sally whispered back.

Jack and Sally made love for the next half hour. They maintained their slow movement, speeding up every once in a while. When he sensed Sally was getting close, Jack held her hips, driving up into her. Sally covered Jack's mouth with hers, moaning as she reached her peak. Her vagina contracted around his shaft, causing him to climax along with her.

"Mmmm, that was so good. I love making love with you," Sally whispered as she lay on Jack with his penis still in her vagina.

"The best. When you're ready, clean me up," Jack replied.

Sally giggled as she slipped under the covers. She used her mouth and tongue to clean the remnants of their lovemaking from his penis. When she was finished, she moved back up.

Jack gripped her hips, moving her up until her sex was over his head. He pulled her down to his mouth, moving his tongue between her labia. With her hands against the wall, Sally moaned out her pleasure as Jack drilled his tongue into her vagina. Sally came again, pressing herself down against Jack's face. When she recovered, she slid down to lick her juices from his face.

"Wow, that was awesome!" Sally said. "You are such a good lover."

"We make good lovers, Sweetie—you and me."

Sally sighed as she snuggled next to Jack. She couldn't seem to get close enough to him as she wiggled against his body. Jack rolled on his side, put his arm around her and gave her a kiss.

"Goodnight, Honey. I love you with all my heart," Sally said.

"Night, Darling, I love you too."

In the bed next to Jack and Sally, Kim and Tom also made love. Tom lay on top of Kim, moving his penis in and out of her. Whenever he got close to ejaculating, Tom stopped until he calmed down. Kim whispered in his ear, begging him to make her cum. Tom finally began moving faster, giving Kim her second climax of the night. After he came, he remained on her, his penis buried in her hot vagina.

"That was so nice, Baby," Kim said. "I love it when you eat me and when you fuck me. If you have anything left, I'll suck your cock for you."

"Not tonight, Honey. I'm wiped out. That blowjob you gave me in the shower and then this has drained me."

"Okay, but if you change your mind, just wake me up."

Tom chuckled. "I will. Goodnight, Kim. I hope you know how much it means to me knowing you love me."

"I do love you—I really do! I never knew what it was like to be so much in love. Goodnight, Sweetheart."

Soon the room was still. While the two couples had made love only a few feet apart, they felt they were alone. Neither of the couples paid any attention to what the other couple was doing or saying.

-------

Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally left the boatyard at noon. They had spent the day learning more about the yacht's operations. While Kim and Sally worked with April, Tom and Jack learned how to maintain the desalinization plant. They were taught the importance of cleaning the plates and keeping any salt formations cleaned from the machines.

Jack drove to West Palm Beach, parking in the lot at the hotel their parents would be staying in. They checked with the front desk to see if their parents had checked in, deciding to get lunch when the found out they hadn't.

During lunch, Tom and Jack talked about what they had learned while Kim and Sally talked about the things April had taught them that day. The two girls looked over the printed notes April gave them, commenting about the choice of uniforms.

After lunch, they went outside to wait for their parents to arrive. The four of them sat on a bench at the front entrance, watching the cars that pulled into the lot. When they heard a horn, they got up and went over to the van Don was driving.

Everyone greeted each other. Jack asked his dad about their flight and was told it was uneventful. Tom and Jack helped with the suitcases, carrying them into the hotel lobby. Once they had checked in and received their keys, the group headed up to the rooms.

Don, Marge, Marc and Anne shared one suite while Jerry, Liz, Joanne and Sam shared one across the hall. They placed their bags in the rooms, gathering in Don's room to get a game plan together.

The teens brought their parents and the others up to date on what they had been doing. Kim and Sally told the women about picking out uniforms while the men talked about the yacht.

"We have to meet the realtor at the house in twenty minutes," Don said. "We're going to walk through the houses once more before we close tomorrow. We can talk about the yacht later."

The group left the hotel, driving to the property they would soon own. The realtor was in the drive, waiting for them. After saying hello, they all began the tour of the main house. Don, Marc, Jerry and Sam checked out the heat pump as well as the large water heaters in the utility room. The women checked out the rooms while Joanne took pictures and made notes. After going through the apartment over the garage, they all went to the guesthouse.

"I think that we can get away with cleaning the carpeting and painting the rooms for now," Joanne said. "We still have to decide if we're going to decorate the guesthouse the same as the main house. I don't see why we can't have this house livable in a week or two."

"How about furniture?" Marge asked.

"We can get bed frames and mattresses for the bedrooms. We can pick the headboards later if you want to. That, or we can get something in black lacquer. We can get the same furniture for all of the bedrooms. Because the master is so large, we could put two queen size beds in there so you could accommodate more guests. We could use a screen to divide the room," Joanne said as she snapped more pictures.

Turning to the realtor, Joanne asked, "Do you have the blueprints for the houses?"

"Yes, they're in the main house. I can have them copied for you if you'd like."

"Yes please. When do you think you can have them?"

"I'll have them ready for you tomorrow. I will bring them to the closing." Cynthia made a note in her PDA.

The women remained in the guesthouse, making decisions on what they wanted to do in the short term. Don and the rest of the guys went out to check out the patio, pool and cabana. The pool was set lengthwise in the yard. At the deep end was a diving board. The shallow end was adjacent to a kidney shaped hot tub large enough for more than a dozen people. The patio was made of white pavers with a three-foot tile border around the pool and hot tub.

The group went into the cabana to check it out. The building had an awning that ran the length of the rectangular building with a sliding glass door that led into a common area. In the common area, there was white wicker furniture. Two couches, four chairs and several small tables sat in the room. When sitting on the couches, there was a view of the pool. Thin rattan blinds, which could be lowered for privacy, were rolled up near the ceiling. Marc found a switch on one wall, pushed it down and watched the blinds lowering. After rolling them back up, they checked out the dressing rooms and showers.

A door led into hallway that ran the length of the cabana. Three other doors led into two small dressing room, shower and bathroom combinations. In between the smaller rooms was a large room with the same amenities. All of the showers and bathrooms were done in tile, as were the ceilings. The smaller showers had two showerheads while the larger one had four on the walls and another in the ceiling. All of the dressing rooms had ample closet space as well as pegs on the walls.

In the rear of the cabana were the pool filters and water heaters. Everything was labeled with etched plastic plates. On the wall a set of instructions for the equipment was secured behind a glass pane.

Once the inspection was complete, the men went out to the patio. They checked out the large grill, commenting about the fact it used real charcoal instead of gas. Next to the grill was a bar with a refrigerator and icemaker.

"I think we should think about a building for the yacht equipment, Dad," Jack said, pointing toward the canal. "Maybe on that side of the yard. We will need a place to keep the things we don't carry as well as a large freezer and refrigerator to store food in."

"Maybe we could have a covered patio too. It would give our clients somewhere to wait while their bags are loaded on the yacht. We could put in a walk so we can roll carts down to the seawall," Tom said.

"Sounds like a good idea to me," Marc said. "What do you think, Don?"

"Sure. I like the idea too," Don said. "Why don't you boys draw something up so we can talk a look at it?"

The women came out to the patio along with the realtor. They looked around the yard, chatting about the work the gardens needed. After a half hour, everyone sat on the patio.

Jack twitched nervously in his chair. He had something on his mind, something he didn't want to wait to talk about. Mustering up his courage, Jack got up and walked over to his aunt.

"Aunt Anne, can I talk to you for a few minutes?" Jack asked.

Chapter 11

Anne looked up at Jack, smiling as she got up from her chair. They walked toward the cabana, neither of them saying a word. Anne waited for Jack to tell her what was on his mind. They walked to the seawall, sitting on the pier with their feet hanging over the edge.

Taking a deep breath, Jack said, "Aunt Anne, I don't know if you know what's going on, but things kind of changed over the past few days."

Anne glanced at her nephew, smiling as she waited for him to continue.

"Sally and I have realized we're in love with each other. Tom and Kim have come to the same realization about them, too. I don't know what happened, but it just worked out that way. I really love Sally—more than just as a cousin. She says she loves me the same way."

"Is there a problem with it, Jack?"

"No, none at all. Well, maybe one small one. It's the way Sally acts with me. She is so, um..."

"Submissive?"

"Yeah." Jack gazed out at the water, watching a small boat moving through the canal.

"Is that a problem for you?"

"I don't know. I'm just not used to it I guess."

"Jack, I've felt that Sally has loved you for quite some time. She hasn't come out and told me, but a mother can tell. As for her being a little submissive, I don't know what to tell you."

"It's more than a little. She really wants me to control her life, or so it seems."

"Then do it if that's what she wants. It isn't like you're forcing her to do anything she doesn't want to do, is it? There are women that are what's known as a healthy submissive. Those women need to be nurtured. It isn't really control they seek; rather they're looking for being accepted for what they are—inside. I think it would do you some good to research the subject before you judge Sally."

"No, I don't force her to do anything. I'll look into it; maybe it will help me understand. There's another thing, I think she wants to finish school. She has been hinting at it."

"Jack, that's up to Sally. If she wants to finish school, you should let her."

"I know. I have been thinking about it a lot lately. When we were out on the boat with our friends, Jenny said something that makes a lot of sense to me. She said getting our GEDs is stupid. Jenny feels that school is the first important thing we do in life and quitting is the wrong thing to do. She thinks it will just making quitting in the future easier for us."

"What do you and the others think about it?"

"We really haven't talked about it, but I think I agree with her. I'm thinking of finishing too."

"Jack, you are so much like your father it's kind of scary."

"What do you mean, Aunt Anne?"

Anne swung her legs up, bending them at the knees. She wrapped her arms around them while looking at Jack.

"I don't know if you've noticed it or not, but my brother is the unnamed leader of our families. Your father is the one we all look to when important decisions are to be made. It's been that way since we were kids—all of us.

"We all have our input, but when push comes to shove, it's what my brother says that goes. Jack, you are a leader like your father is. Like him, it isn't something you asked for; it's just the way it is. I know this because I've listened to Tom and Sally. They are always saying that you said this or that. They also usually agree with what you've said."

"I'm not sure I want that."

"Sorry, but unless you do something really drastic, that's the way it is. Your mom and dad realize it too, so does Uncle Marc. We've talked about you kids and can see what's happening. I'd be willing to bet almost anything that if you decide to finish school, the rest of them will follow you.

"Jack, this isn't an easy cross to bear. You have a lot of responsibilities that I'm sure you never bargained for. Be that as it may, you are the next in line—like it or not. What you do with this is up to you. I hope you can be as level headed as your father and guide Tom, Sally and Kim. They all look up to you.

"I think you're up to the task, we all do. We were really vacillating on whether to let you kids get the yacht until we knew you were committed to the project. If you didn't really want to undertake it, we didn't think it would be successful. When you said you were excited and wanted to do it, we decided to purchase the yacht."

Jack was stunned. He had no idea that his sister and cousins looked up to him the way his aunt said they did. After thinking for a moment, Jack cleared his throat.

"If we—make that when we go back to school next year, I would like to go down here. I think it would be better for all of us. We would be close to the yacht and we've made new friends. I know you, Uncle Marc and my parents are planning on spending winters down here."

"That's up to you kids. If you want to go to school in Florida, I'm sure we can work it out. You and Tom will be eighteen soon and able to be on your own if you want to be."

"Thanks, Aunt Anne. What about Sally?"

"What about her? If you love her, do what she asks. It's what will make her the happiest. I know it's hard for you to understand, but trust me; Sally is more than fine with it. I've seen it coming for a long time now. I'm very happy that you and Sally feel like you say you do about each other. It's very easy for a girl like Sally to get hooked up with the wrong guy—a guy that would take advantage of the fact she's submissive. At least with you, I know she'll never be hurt."

"That's for sure! I could never hurt Sally, or any other girl. You don't have to worry about that."

"I know and it's very comforting. Like I said, I have suspected that Sally felt strongly about you for a long time, Jack. While I know the fact you two are related makes it a bit unconventional, I don't think it's wrong. I want all of you to be happy, no matter how things turn out in the future. Having a relationship with Sally is much different because you two are cousins. Even if you two decide you aren't meant for one another, you'll still be family."

Jack nodded. "So, you think we should finish school?"

"I think you kids should make the decision. When you guys decided to get your GEDs, we all supported you. If you decide to finish school, we'll support you too. Just remember what I said about your roll as the leader. Make sure you're level headed when you make a decision or things could get messy."

"Thanks, I'll remember that, Aunt Sally."

Jack got up, offering his hand to his aunt. Anne took his hand, letting him pull her to her feet. As they walked back, Anne stopped him.

"Don't be surprised at anything Sally asks you to do. It may seem far-fetched to you, but to her it is as normal as can be. Who knows, you may find you really enjoy it."

"I don't know."

"I do, trust me on this. My daughter isn't a lot different than I am. While I may not be as submissive as Sally, I take orders much better than I give them."

Jack was shocked, but didn't respond. He never knew his aunt felt like that—Jack wasn't sure he wanted to know. They went back to the tables and took their seats, listening to what was being said.

"I think we're finished here," Don said. "Let's all go to dinner so the kids can get to their meeting on time."

Jerry Stone chatted with the realtor for a few moments before shaking her hand. The group left the house, knowing they would own it tomorrow. Don led the way to a restaurant while Jack followed him.

During dinner, Joanne talked about the apartment and the guesthouse. She told the families the apartment was fine and could be occupied right after the closing. Joanne said it would probably take a couple weeks to get the guesthouse ready, depending on how fast Don, Marc, Anne and Marge wanted to move.

"I'd like it ready before the kids come back down next time," Don said. "I think it would be better than having to stay in a hotel."

"Can do, but we have several decisions to make first. The guesthouse needs to be painted and furnished before it will be ready," Joanne said.

"I think Anne and I like your idea about the black lacquer bedroom furniture. You can do what you want with the rest of the house as long as we maintain the theme we've decided on. I'd like to see the guesthouse match the main house," Marge said.

"How about accessories? Should I completely decorate the guesthouse?"

"I don't see why not. We have to do it at one point or another. We can always add things or make changes as we go," Anne said.

"We're going to need dishes and kitchen stuff too," Jack said.

Anne smiled at Jack. "We'll take care of it unless you guys want to go shopping for what you'll need."

"Sally, why don't you and Kim go with your moms and Joanne to get the things we need," Jack said.

Sally grinned as she nodded. Kim said, "Okay, we can take care of it. Just don't expect me to do all the cooking." Kim giggled as she winked at Sally.

After dinner, the group went out to the cars. They stood in the parking lot for a few minutes, talking about what was going to happen the next day. Don told the teens they could attend the closing if they wanted to. Jack told his dad he would like to see the process so the rest agreed to go too.

Anne took Sally aside to talk to her. After a few moments, they hugged and then returned to the group. Jack told his parent they should get going so they wouldn't be late for the meeting. Once their goodbyes were taken care of, Don told Jack what time to be at the hotel. Jack and Sally got into the front seat of the suburban while Tom and Kim got in back.

On the way to their hotel to change for the meeting, Kim's cell phone rang. Answering it, she talked with Jenny for a moment before hanging up.

"Eddie, Brad, Jenny and Kathy are going to pick us up at the hotel in an hour. Jenny said we could ride with them."

"That's cool, I'm not really sure where the place is anyway," Jack said. "Although I'm sure we could find it if we had to."

In their room the teens took quick showers. Sally gave Jack a hug while Tom and Kim were in the shower.

"What do you want me to wear tonight?" Sally asked.

"A skirt and top," Jack replied. "Oh, panties too."

Jack and Sally laughed. She picked out a lacy thong, holding it up for Jack. When he nodded, she put it on.

"Mom said you and she talked today," Sally said. She gave him a kiss. "She said you told her you loved me."

"I did. I told her I loved you a lot!"

"Thank you, I was wondering how to tell her about how I feel about you. She thinks it's wonderful—just like me."

Jack kissed Sally's forehead. "My pleasure. Finish dressing, Tom and Kim will be out in an minute and we have to go."

Jack answered the door when he heard a knock. Jenny and Kathy were there so he invited them in. The two girls said their brothers were waiting in the van for them.

The group left the room and headed for the fishing club's meeting.

-------

"What did Jack want?" Marge asked Anne while they sat in their room.

"He told me that he and Sally are a couple and that they're in love."

Marge chuckled. "It's about time, isn't it?"

"Yes, I think so. He's having a little trouble with her submissiveness, but I think he'll be okay. Jack said Kim and Tom are together too."

"Really? I didn't think she would ever settle down. Kim is a bit footloose if you know what I mean."

"Maybe she just needs someone to love her—or for her to love. We'll just have to wait that one out. As for Sally and Jack, I've always felt they would end up together at some point in their lives." Anne chuckled. "I hope they don't have too many bumps to get over."

"They'll do fine, Anne. Things could be a lot worse you know."

"Don't I! I told Jack I was happy because I know he won't take advantage of Sally or hurt her. The truth be told, I'm ecstatic."

Liz and Joanne came into the suite. They sat down, relaxing after the busy day they had.

"The guys are wrapping up a few legal things so we decided to see what you two are up to," Liz said.

"Just relaxing. I could use one of those fruity drinks that have the little umbrellas in them," Marge said. "What do you say to a trip down to the bar?"

All of the women agreed that a cold drink sounded good. Marge called her husband, telling him the plan. The four women left the suite, heading down to the outside bar by the pool.

"This is great," Joanne said as she stretched out on one of the poolside lounges with a drink in hand. "I could get used to this."

"It is nice not having to deal with the cold," Marge said. "It won't be long until we're doing this at the new house."

"I'm trying to get Jerry to increase the amount of business he does in Florida so we can get down here often," Liz said.

"How are you and Sam doing with the baby making?" Anne asked Joanne.

"We still practicing, Anne. I plan to quit taking the pill soon. Do you think we should use something else for a little while?" Joanne asked.

"I don't know, maybe you should ask your doctor about that," Marge said. "Have you and Sam thought about when you want the baby to be born?"

"No, we figure we'll just let it come when it does. It doesn't really matter to us when the baby is born. Sam and I know it's going to change the way we live, but we're ready. We don't want to wait much longer so we can start our family while were still young."

"We planned it so the girls were born the same month the boys were," Marge said.

"Yeah, the boys were a surprise," Anne said with a giggle. "They were all born in August."

"It must make it easy for birthdays," Joanne said.

"In some ways it does, but in others it isn't all that good for the kids. They have to share their birthdays with one another," Marge said.

Anne chuckled and then said, "I don't think it's a problem, they seem to share just about everything else these days."

"True enough, Anne," Marge replied.

"Jack said that he's thinking of finishing school instead of getting a GED. He said Sally wants to go too," Anne said.

"That would be great. I was never all that keen on their decision to quit. Don seemed to be okay with it so I went along, but I would rather see them graduate," Marge said. "How about Tom and Kim?"

"Marge, if Jack decided to finish school, the rest of them will too—you know that. He's following in his father's footsteps. Haven't you been paying attention?" Anne said sarcastically.

"Yes, I've been watching. It's almost scary, isn't it?"

"What are you talking about, if you don't mind me asking," Joanne said.

"Jack is becoming the leader for the rest of the kids, just like Don is the top dog for us," Anne said.

Joanne nodded, but wasn't really sure what the two women were talking about. She hadn't realized Don was the one that they all looked up to, not the way they were saying they did.

The men came down from the room, got drinks and joined the women at poolside. Don told his wife and sister they were all set for the closing and expected to get the keys then.

"When are you going to tell Jeri and April they can move into the apartment?" Marge asked.

"I'm not going to tell them, I'm going to leave that up to the kids. I think it will help cement the boss, employee relationship they're establishing. I can remember when the shop hired a superintendent that was younger than me. It took some time to accept him as my boss, but once he proved he wasn't an asshole things were fine," Don said.

Marc laughed. "I remember that, you were so pissed you couldn't see straight."

"Yeah, but I didn't stay that way. He treated us with respect and didn't try to make us believe he knew about things he didn't. I can work for someone like that no matter how old they are."

"You don't have to work for anyone," Sam said.

Don laughed. "No, I guess I don't, but that doesn't mean I can be an asshole. We may have a few bucks, but I hope it never makes me act like I'm better than anyone else."

"I know people that don't have near the money you guys do and are real jerks. I hate having to sit and listen to them tell me how much better they are than I am. Shit, if they're so hot, why do they want me to handle their money?" Sam said.

"Because you're very good at what you do," Jerry said. "That's one of the reasons you're making partner next month."

"Really? It was approved?" Sam said.

"Yes, at the last partner's meeting. We had to vote on it and you were confirmed unanimously. When we get back, it will be announced to the rest of the firm. Sam, you have earned this," Jerry said.

By the time he finished his sentence, Joanne was on Jerry's lap, kissing him. She thanked Jerry several times before getting up.

"What does this mean?" Joanne asked.

"It means Sam will share in the profits of the firm as well as get a larger cut of the money he brings in. The attorneys are measured on billable hours. Sam, along with the other money managers, is measured on the commissions they make on the transactions they handle. As a partner, he will get more of the money he makes for the firm."

"How much more?" Joanne asked.

"Jo, that's not an appropriate question," Sam said.

"Sure it is. Right now he gets twenty percent of his as commissions. As a partner, he will receive fifty percent. With his salary and bonuses, Sam should do very well as long as he keeps being as successful as he has been," Jerry said.

Giggling, Joanne moved to Sam's lap. She kissed him, congratulating him on the pending partnership. While she ground her butt against him, Don, Marc, Anne and Marge also congratulated him, shaking his hand.

"Okay, Sammy, you have to get out there and get more clients. For each new client you get, you get my ass." Joanne covered her mouth when she realized how loud she had said what she did.

Sam laughed, hugging his embarrassed wife to him. "What are you going to do if I don't sign on new clients? I think you really like that."

Joanne thought for a moment. She started giggling again and then laughed. "I think I can talk one of these guys into making me happy."

"Okay, but to be fair, I think that I will only eat your pussy when you get a new client," Sam said.

"Hmmm, maybe we better rethink this." Joanne kissed Sam. "I don't think I can wait for either one."

Turning to Anne, Joanne said, "When are you guys going to be moving? Sam and I need a new house soon."

"Just as soon as our decorator gets with the architect and the plans are finalized. We're waiting to get started on the construction," Anne said.

"Oops, I guess I better get going. How about if Sam and I move in with you until the construction is completed?" Joanne laughed at herself for making the joke.

"That's fine with me," Anne said. "I have a feeling Tom and Sally are going to want to move in with Jack and Kim soon. It's not like we don't have the room."

"Tom and Sally are going to move first?" Joanne asked.

Marge and Anne chuckled. "If they have their way I think they will," Anne said. "It's going to be hard on them to sleep alone after this trip."

"Are you and Liz still thinking about buying Bob and Dianne's house?" Marc asked.

"Yes, in fact, we decided to buy it. Megan and Lisa said they would really like to have a place of their own. Lisa spends as many nights at our house as she does hers," Jerry said. "Bob said he and Dianne should be ready to move in a month or so."

"I met with them the other day. We have decided on the décor so things should move along for them," Joanne said. "It's really going to be nice when it's finished."

"Bob is spending too much time on the golf course and too little on the house," Don said. "Marc and I were over there on Tuesday and we told him so. He is hell bent on opening the course by Memorial Day, but I don't think it will be ready. Brad and Paul are helping him along with several other men he has hired."

"We should have rented two cars," Joanne said as if she was jolted. "How am I going to get to the boatyard in the morning?"

"We can take you, Jo. The realtor's office is close to Bowman's. You can wait until after the closing and we'll all go if you want," Jerry said.

"I want to get started. I have so much to go over that one day may not be enough. I hope April and Jack Waters are there in the morning," Joanne said.

"I'm sure they will be. We want to talk to Jack about the new house too. We're hoping he can recommend someone to do the renovations," Don said.

The group had another drink. They sat near the pool until nine before deciding to call it a night. Once in their rooms, the couples relaxed, watching the local news before going to bed.

-------

Jack, Sally, Tom and Kim were introduced to some of the other members of the youth division of the fishing club. Jenny was a perfect hostess, leading the group from one table to another.

When the meeting was called to order, everyone sat around a large table. Jenny was at the podium, going over several things the club members needed to know. She talked about the upcoming tournament, asking for volunteers to be observers on the boats that were fishing. She asked for a show of hands of the boats that were going to fish, counting the hands when they were raised.

"It looks like we're going to have twelve boats on Saturday. That's a good turnout. If anyone else wants to fish, be at the captain's meeting Friday night. I would love to see fifteen boats for one of our youth events.

"Now, if there's no other business, I'd like to introduce our guest speaker. Mr. Kettering is the sales manager for Melton Tackle and will talk about what's new, as well as how to improve your fishing. Mr. Kettering, welcome."

Jenny let the man take her place at the podium. He had a slideshow set up to show the members what new tackle was available. Jenny sat at the table with the rest of her group, listening to the presentation.

Once Mr. Kettering was finished, Jenny thanked him. Everyone in the room gave him a round of applause. Jenny announced a short break before continuing the meeting.

"That was really interesting," Kim said. "I didn't know there were so much different types tackle or types of rods and reels. How do you find your speakers?"

"It gets hard sometimes. We've had a lot of good speakers in the past, but they are getting harder to find," Jenny said.

"You should ask your dad to be a speaker. I'll bet he could give a great talk about how boats are built and the differences between the different types," Jack said. "I know Tom and I have learned a bunch of things."

"That's not a bad idea, Jenny. I think we should ask dad if he would do it," Eddie said.

Kathy left the table, returning a moment later with information on the tournament. She gave it to Tom, telling him it might help explain some things. Tom thanked her.

Brad, Jack and Eddie went to get sodas for everyone. After a few minutes, Jenny announced the drawings and asked if anyone wanted to buy tickets. Jack raised his hand and a girl about his age came to the table. Jack bought a string of the tickets, dividing them between his sister, Sally and Tom.

When it was time for the drawing, Jenny asked Sally to come up to pull the tickets out of the bucket. Sally drew a ticket, handing it to Jenny.

Jenny called off the number. Someone in the back of the room called out and then came up to claim his prize. The club gave away several different things, all related to fishing, to help raise money. Jenny had the winner draw the next ticket.

Each time Jenny called out the number, Jack and the rest would check their tickets. The last draw, Jenny called out a number that was on one of Sally's tickets. Sally jumped up, squealing and waving her ticket over her head. When she reached Jenny, Sally was told she was receiving a box of tackle that was donated by Melton tackle.

Sally took the box to the table. She was still excited as she sat down and began looking through the contents. There was an assortment of lures, leaders, hooks and other things for fishing.

Jenny closed the meeting, telling the members she would see them at the tournament or the next meeting. She came to the table, asking to see what was in the box. Sally took everything out again, showing it to Jenny.

"That's a great start on some of the things you'll need for your yacht," Jenny said.

Sally put the tackle away. After closing the box, she leaned over and whispered something to Jack. When he nodded, Sally grinned.

"Here, you guys take this for your boat," Sally said pushing the box toward Jenny. "We want you to have it."

"We can't take this, you won it," Jenny said, trying to push the box back to Sally.

"Please take it, we really want you to have it," Jack said.

"Well, I guess so. Thank you," Jenny said.

Eddie, Brad and Kathy also thanked them for the tackle. Tom assured them he agreed with Jack and Sally. Kim giggled and said, "We can use it when we fish with you guys."

"Anytime you can," Jenny said. "We're staying on the boat tomorrow night if you want to join us. We have a captain's meeting at seven thirty, but after that we're free. We usually get things rigged for the morning."

"That would be great," Jack said. He glanced at Tom and Kim. "What do you guys think?"

"Sounds good to me," Tom said.

Kim agreed, saying she was looking forward to it. Jenny asked Sally what she thought.

"I'll do whatever Jack wants to do. I really like staying on the boat, but this time you guys get the staterooms, okay?" Sally said.

Jenny smiled. She didn't say anything about the staterooms or where anyone would sleep. The teens helped clean up the room before heading for home. They all agreed to meet at the boat and ride to the captain's meeting together. Eddie drove them back to the hotel, dropping them off at the front door.

Don called the room the teens were staying in the next morning. He told Sally that he would be picking them up in an hour. After hanging up, Sally woke the rest of the group.

They took showers, dressed and went down to the lobby. When Don pulled up in front, they went out to greet him. Jack said he would follow his dad in case they needed an extra car and they headed to the realtor's office. An hour later, they emerged the proud owners of the West Palm property. Don offered to buy breakfast to celebrate.

While they were eating, Don gave Jack a set of keys. "These are keys to the new house. The two on the small ring are for the apartment. You kids can give them to Jeri and April when you're ready."

"Is there any reason we shouldn't give them the keys?" Jack asked.

"Not as far as I'm concerned. They work for you guys."

"Okay, we'll talk about it. I'd kind of like to make it special if we can."

Joanne began talking about the guesthouse. She said they could go shopping for furniture on Saturday if Marge and Anne wanted to. The women agreed, telling her they were anxious to get started.

After breakfast, the group went to the boatyard. Kim and Sally led the group through the yacht, showing them what had been done since the last time they saw it. After the tour, Don, Marc, Jerry and Sam went to find Jack Waters.

Jeri came over to the group when they got up to the top deck. Using a two-way radio, she called April, telling her to come up to the top deck.

When April arrived, she greeted the others. Joanne told her she was ready to get started, asking where they should go. April led Joanne, Kim and Sally to the salon, pointing to one of the blueprint tables that were there.

Joanne opened her portfolio, removed the sketches and spread them on the table. Starting with the staterooms, she went over her vision for the yacht. Kim, Sally and April looked at the colorful drawings, making comments as to how good they were. Joanne had used oriental wall hangings and other accessories to complement the yacht's interior. The only major changes were the beds. She recommended replacing the beds with new ones that fit the theme better.

For the next hour, they went over the drawings. Joanne made notes when April, Kim or Sally made a comment about her design. When they decided to take a break, they had agreed on the staterooms and heads.

The group gathered in the salon. Kim and Sally showed their brothers what they had decided on for the staterooms. Don told them Jack Waters had suggested a contractor and even called on their behalf.

"Jeri and I would like to invite all of you to dinner this evening," April said.

"We are supposed to meet Eddie, Jenny, Brad and Kathy tonight. We're staying on the boat and fishing in a tournament tomorrow," Tom said.

"You'd be able to make the captain's meeting at seven o'clock with no problem. We have reservations at four this afternoon. We know it's early, but we have our reasons," April said.

"Can't you call your friends and tell them you'll meet them later?" Don asked.

"Yes, that'll work just fine for us," Jack said. "Where are we going for dinner?"

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you," Jeri said and then laughed. "It's sort of a surprise, if that's okay."

"That's cool. Where should we all meet?" Kim asked.

"We can meet at your hotel, Kim. The restaurant isn't far from there," Jeri said. "Let's meet at three thirty."

The group agreed on the meeting time. Joanne took April, Kim and Sally back to the blueprint table so they could continue. Marge, Anne and Liz watched as Joanne went over her ideas for the salon and dinning room.

At two o'clock, Harry walked over to the table. He asked how it was going, smiling when April said, "Just great, Harry. There's nothing I can see that will delay construction. Take a look at what Joanne has in mind."

Harry watched as Joanne flipped through the drawings, showing him the things she planned to do. When she finished, she looked up at Harry.

"That looks like it's going to be beautiful, Joanne. You've done a marvelous job. I was so afraid you would want major changes to the yacht's woodwork."

"No, I wouldn't do anything to the Birdseye maple. It's gorgeous and it would be a shame to remove a single square inch. I tried to use furnishings and art to achieve the look I was going for."

"You surely have done that. I think everyone will really love it when you're finished. Do you have any idea where you'll get the beds?"

"Actually, I was thinking of having Mr. Waters build the beds. We can use the frames that are in place if he can do it."

Harry called Jack Waters on his radio, telling him to come to the salon. When he got there, Harry showed him what Joanne had designed. "Can you build the beds?" Harry asked.

"I don't see why not. It's just head and foot boards, right?"

"Yes, that and the side trim. I didn't want to have to throw out the frames that are already there. I can purchase the nightstands in Miami. I've talked to a distributor that promised he could have them in a few weeks," Joanne said.

"Looks like we're right on schedule then. Barring any major problems, we should be able to deliver Tomiko in two or two and a half months. The first of May is our new target date," Harry said.

Joanne, April, Kim and Sally began talking about dishes, glasses and other things to go along with the Japanese theme. Harry went to find Jack and Tom so he could give them the news about the target date.

It was close to two in the afternoon when the group gathered outside the covered yacht. Don told the teens he and the rest of the adults were going to go to their hotel to change. He said he would meet them at three thirty in the parking lot.

Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally went to their hotel to pack for the weekend and change for dinner. After cleaning up, they put the things they would need into small bags to be taken to the boat. When it was time, they went downstairs to wait for their parents.

Jeri and April pulled into the parking lot a few moments before Don and the rest of the adults. Leading the way, they headed to a restaurant on one of the major streets. As they walked in, Marge looked at the building.

"Is this one of those Japanese steak houses?" Marge asked.

"Yes, one of the best in town," Jeri said. "Have you ever eaten in one?"

"No, but I've always wanted to."

When they got into the building, they were led to a private room. In the center of the room was a very large hibachi with chairs on three sides of it. Most of the stations in the restaurant sat eight people, but this one was setup for sixteen. Jeri and April made sure they sat near Kim and Sally. The rest of the group took seats and began looking over the menus.

"If I may, I would suggest the chef's special. It gives you a taste of the most popular items on the menu," April said.

Two oriental girls came into the room wearing traditional dresses. They moved around the table, taking drink orders from everyone. While they were gone, the group decided to take April's suggestion. The girls returned, passing out the drinks. When they began to take the food orders, April told one of them they were all having the chef's special.

A few minutes later, a tall Japanese man came into the room, taking his place behind the large hotplate. He turned it on and began getting ready to prepare the shrimp appetizers. One of the girls brought a cart to the chef, placing it to one side of him.

"Good evening. I'm Yoshiro. I'll be your chef this evening. We will begin with Hibachi Shrimp, a house specialty."

The chef began by pulling a large knife out of a scabbard hanging from his belt. He picked up a steel, whipping the blade against it to sharpen the knife. When he began cleaning and de-veining the shrimp, everyone at the table watched in awe. His hands and the knife moved so fast they were blurred. He seasoned the shrimp by holding a shaker over them while banging on the side with his knife.

The two girls returned, each of them bringing small bowls of soup with strange looking spoons in the bowls. They told the group it was Japanese onion soup as they placed the bowls in front of each of them. While they sipped the flavorful soup, the chef continued to prepare their meals, making a show of every move.

He served the shrimp by flipping the morsels onto the plated in front of everyone with his knife. The girls passed out sauce for dipping and chopsticks. They assisted the guests with the chopsticks, showing them how to hold and use them.

"Wow, this is delicious!" Marge said. "I don't think I've ever had better shrimp."

The rest of the group agreed the shrimp was very tasty as they picked up the bite size pieces with the chopsticks and ate them.

Yoshiro placed a pile of bean sprouts on the grill. He cut several pieces of butter from a stick, placing the butter on the sprouts. While the vegetables steamed, he sliced onions, adding them to the bean sprouts.

Using his knife, he kept the vegetables moving so they would cook evenly. He put chicken breasts on the grill, cutting them into small pieces in the wink of an eye. While the chicken cooked, Yoshiro began cutting up the filets of beef. Starting at one end of the table, he asked each of them how they wanted their steak cooked. He didn't take any notes as he sliced the filets into small pieces.

By the time the plates were full, everyone was clapping. The chef bowed, thanked them and then cleaned the grill before taking the cart and leaving.

The comments around the table made April smile. It seemed everyone was thoroughly enjoying the meal that had been so skillfully prepared.

"When the chef finishes, the meal is almost anticlimactic," Jerry said. "I could have watched him all night."

"What did you guys think?" April asked, glancing at the teens.

"The food is great and watching him was really fun," Sally said.

"No kidding, this is great food," Jack added, mimicking what Sally had said.

Kim and Tom also agreed that they were enjoying the meal.

"Jeri and I know Yoshi. He's the one we've been thinking about for our chef on Tomiko. He does very well here, but he's looking for a head chef position. We felt he would fit in with what you're doing with the yacht," April said.

Don chuckled when he heard what April said. "That has to be one of the most unique interviews in history. Very clever of you two to think of it."

"Can he cook anything else?" Kim asked.

"Yes, he studied in Europe before coming to America. He is skilled in many different cuisines, but this is his specialty," April said. "When we talked to him, he said he could continue to work here until we needed him full time."

"I think we should think about it," Tom said.

"So do I," Kim said. "I think we should seriously consider hiring him. I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity."

"Do you think he can prepare a few other things for us?" Sally asked. "Something other than Japanese food?"

"I'm sure he will be more than happy to do that. I'll try to find someplace for him to cook," April said. "We can plan it for the next time you're down."

Jack glanced at Tom and then his sister. Taking Sally by the hand, Jack led her out of the room with Tom and Kim close behind. When he had them alone, Jack started to talk.

"We have the keys to the new house. Dad said we could give them to Jeri and April whenever we're ready. Do you guys think now would be cool?"

"Why not?" Kim said. "I think they would really like it if we did."

Tom and Sally agreed that they should tell April and Jeri about the apartment. They returned to the dinning room, taking their seats.

"April, Jeri, I think we may have a place Yoshiro can prepare another meal for us to try." Jack reached into his pocket, removing the keys to the apartment. He winked at his dad as he handed the keys to Jeri.

"What's this?" Jeri asked as he looked at the keys.

"Those are the keys to your new apartment and the house. Maybe we could have Yoshiro fix a dinner for us there." Jack said, trying not to grin too much.

Jeri and April looked at each other for a moment. When she turned back to Jack, Jeri had tears in her eyes.

"Is this for real? We can move in?" Jeri said, her voice cracking with excitement.

"Yup, anytime you want to," Kim said, giggling at the look on the two girls faces.

"Oh my God!" April screeched. "Thank you so much."

"There will be workers in the main house," Marge said. "We would really appreciate it if you two would keep an eye on them. In addition, Joanne will be coming down to supervise the workers. She may need a place to stay while she's here. We hope to get the guesthouse ready in a couple weeks, but if it isn't finished could you two put her up?"

"We'd be more than happy to have Joanne, or anyone else, stay with us. If necessary, April and I can sleep on the couches in the living room."

"I don't think we will be putting you two out of your bed, but thanks for the offer," Anne said.

"If you remember, I asked if you'd keep an eye on the house. You two are free to use the pool and the kitchen in the main house if you want to. Just remember we don't want any parties," Don said.

"We have to get going," Jack said. "We're supposed to meet Eddie and the others at the boat soon. We'll talk to you tomorrow and see you on Sunday. April, Jeri, we'll see you on Monday."

Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally said goodbye to everyone. They thanked April and Jeri for dinner and left for the boat.

Once the teens were gone, Don began talking to Jeri and April.

"We plan on having our children stay in the guest house next time they're down here. We would really be grateful if you two would make sure they're okay. The kids are very mature for their age, but it would make us feel better if we knew they were being watched."

"No problem, Mr. Graham. April and I will make sure they are taken care of."

"Good. We will be leaving the suburban at the house. We gave it to the kids to use for the yacht. You two are welcome to use it if you need it. We will need you to pick them, or anyone of us, up at the airport when we come down. I will be getting a couple more vehicles, but until I do, we'll need the suburban while we here."

"Whatever you need," Jeri said. "We have two cars and you're more than welcome to use one when you need it."

"Thank you. When do you think you'll be moving in?" Marge asked.

"I'd like to move in tomorrow if it's okay with you," April said. "We hate it where we're living now. We have a few friends that can give us a hand."

"I'll tell you what, why don't you move in a few days from now. Tomorrow you can go with Joanne and pick out new furniture for the apartment. If I had to guess, what you have is getting old," Marge said.

"Our furniture is old, but we can't afford to buy new things, not yet. Once we get into the apartment we can save what we used to pay for rent and replace it slowly," Jeri said.

"We weren't expecting you to buy the furniture," Anne said. "If I remember, part of the deal was a furnished apartment—wasn't it?"

"Yes," April said meekly. "I wasn't sure if the offer still stood."

"One thing you two will learn is that when we say something, we mean it. No one is going to blow smoke up your butts," Marge said. "We want you two to pick out new furniture for the apartment. We also don't want you to buy junk. Joanne has a budget she's working with. As long as you stay within the budget, you can have whatever you want."

"Can we add furniture as we go too? I've always dreamed of having a queen-size bed," April said.

Joanne chuckled. "I think we can cover that. With the budget they have given me, we can get you a king size bed. I was thinking of something along the lines of a four-poster with a canopy, if you don't think it's too frilly. We can get a queen-size bed for the guest room. I will pass my discount along for you two because I know how hard it is to setup house keeping."

"Are you going to pass your commission on to us too?" Anne asked.

"Um, no, I wasn't planning on it, but I will if you want me to," Joanne said.

"Take care of the apartment first. We can talk about the main house later," Anne said with a chuckle.

Joanne talked with Jeri and April for a while. She made notes in a small notebook as the two girls gave her ideas of what they wanted to do with the apartment. When Joanne suggested they stop at the apartment in the morning before they went shopping, they agreed.

"Can I ask how much we're working with here?" Jeri asked Joanne, keeping her voice low.

"Plenty. Don't worry about a thing. Don and Marc want to make sure their children are well taken care of. They told me to make sure you two are happy," Joanne said.

"We want you two to make sure the kids are safe. Having them jetting back and forth is a bit unnerving for Anne and me," Marge said. "We'll feel much better knowing they have someone to turn to if they need anything. We know you guys work for them, but we're still their moms."

"We'll make sure they're safe. You don't have to buy us things for us to do that for you. April and I are very fond of them and will do anything for them."

"We're not buying the furniture because of that, Jeri. We're buying it because we said we would. We're asking you and April to watch out for our children because we trust you. Our children are very important to us," Don said.

"You don't have to worry about a thing. While they're down here, they'll be fine," Jeri said. "I don't know how to thank all of you for believing in April and me. It isn't very often that a woman gets an opportunity like this. Having our own yacht has been a dream we've shared for a long time."

The group decided to go. Jerry and Sam picked up the check, telling the two girls the meal was worth every penny. In the parking lot, Jeri and April made arrangements to meet with Joanne at the new house on Saturday morning.

-------

Jack pulled into the parking lot at the marina at ten to six. The four of them grabbed their bags and headed for the boat. When they arrived Jack called out to announce they were there.

Eddie came out of the cabin. He welcomed his friends aboard, holding Kim and Sally's hands as they stepped into the cockpit. When Jenny saw the two girls, she scurried over to them.

"Come with me," Jenny said. "We have to get dressed."

Kim and Sally followed Jenny to the staterooms. When they got into the master, they saw Kathy standing in her underwear. "We're wearing skirts tonight. Pick one out," Kathy said, pointing at the hanging locker.

"What? We're going to wear your uniforms tonight?" Sally said.

"Yes, when we fish the tournaments, we all wear them," Jenny said.

Jenny, Kim and Sally stripped down to their underwear. They all put on skirts and shirts with the boat's name on them. Once they were dressed, they took turns in the head doing their hair. They all went up to the salon and told the guys to get dressed.

Jack, Tom, Brad and Eddie went below. Eddie found slacks and shirts for Jack and Tom. They all changed and then went back up to the salon with the girls.

"Don't we look good together?" Sally asked, standing next to Jack and not really speaking to anyone special. "Jack looks so handsome!"

"You look damn hot too, Sally," Brad said. "All of you girls do."

Jenny hugged Brad's arm. "Nice save, Buddy!"

"What, you guys do look hot!"

"Thanks. You look good enough to eat yourself," Jenny said.

"We don't have time—do we?" Brad replied with a chuckle.

Jenny smacked Brad's shoulder. "Is that all you think of? Blowjobs?"

"Hell no, I think of a lot of things. Blowjobs just happen to be close to the top of the list. It's your fault you know. If you weren't so good at it I wouldn't always be thinking about it."

Sally giggled. She looked up at Jack and said, "I'm good at it too, aren't I?"

"One of the best, Baby," Jack said as he put his arm around Sally's shoulders.

"What do you mean one of the best?" Sally asked.

"Well, I haven't had a blowjob from everyone so how would I know?"

The group laughed as Jack kissed Sally on the top of her head. "As far as I'm concerned, you're the best!"

"Are we going to have oral sex or go to the captain's meeting?" Eddie asked.

"What happens if we miss the meeting?" Kathy asked and then giggled.

"We can't fish tomorrow," Eddie replied.

"I think we should get going then," Kim said. "We can take care of the other thing later."

"Is that a promise?" Tom asked.

"If you're a good boy," Kim said.

"How about if I'm bad?"

Kim giggled and said, "I'll knock your socks off!"

Laughing, the group left the boat. They rode together in the van, laughing and making jokes. When they arrived at the marina where the meeting was being held, the couples walked into the building holding hands.

Some of the members that Jack, Tom, Sally and Kim had met at the club meeting came up to say hi. The teens listened as the other members talked about how well Eddie, Brad, Jenny and Kathy did in past tournaments. One of the members, Lee Hillsdale, said he planned on winning.

"I'm going to beat you guys tomorrow," Lee said. "My dad and I have been fishing the past two weekends and have the fish pegged."

"Are you guys fishing for sails, or dolphin and wahoo?" Kathy asked.

"Dolphin and wahoo. The sails have been scarce lately," Lee replied.

"Well, good luck. I hope you do well this time," Kathy said.

Lee smiled and then walked away. Kim moved closer to Kathy and asked, "What are we fishing for?"

"Sails if we can get them. A sailfish is worth one hundred points. Dolphin and wahoo are only worth fifty points. You have to catch two of them for every sail. We get extra points for using circle hooks on all the fish."

"Aren't the dolphin and wahoo easier to catch?" Kim asked.

"Sometimes. We'll start out fishing for sails. If we can't find them, or make them bite, we'll switch to the others. Most of the boats will be going after the dolphin and wahoo so there won't be much pressure on the sails. Winning is as much strategy as skill. One of the reasons we do well is because we think outside the box."

Kim nodded. After a moment, she began to giggle. "How do you get the guys to do that? Think outside the box."

"We all talk about things and..." Kathy saw the look on Kim's face. She paused for a moment and then began to laugh. "You're a nut, Kim!"

"What can I say? I'm sorry about the joke."

"Don't be, I think it was cute. You're right, sometimes they don't—do they?"

"No, and I love them for it! I guess you can tell we like joking around about sex. Sally and I aren't really sluts you know."

"If joking about sex made a girl a slut, I'd be one of the biggest. We goof around too, but it's all in fun. I'm glad you guys are cool; some people don't get it. They think we're sick or something."

"Not us, we think it's fun," Kim said.

The port captain called the meeting to order. The group found seats at one of the tables and waited for the captain to go over the details of the tournament. While they listened, Jack and Sally held hands.

Sally scooted her chair closer to Jack's. She moved their hands so they rested on her leg. Concealed by the table, she released his hand so she could place it on her thigh. Sally held his wrist as she pulled gently on Jack's arm, causing his hand to slide up on her leg. When Jack felt the hem of Sally's skirt, he stopped her from moving his hand any higher.

Jack massaged Sally's thigh, causing her to lean against him. She kissed his neck and then whispered, "I love you," in his ear. Jack squeezed her thigh, letting her know he loved her too.

The port captain told the group that the observers would be assigned. He had two small buckets on the table and drew a slip of paper from one of them. After announcing the name of the boat, he drew the name of the observer from the other bucket.

When the port captain announced the Lady Guinevere, the teens listened for the name of the observer. They learned Vince Rogers would be on the boat with them. Eddie told Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally that Vince didn't have a boat, but crewed on several of the member's boats. He said he had a daughter, Ami, who was a youth member and that she would probably be with him.

Once all the boats had been teamed with observers, the meeting ended. Most of the people stayed, drinking sodas while they talked. Vince brought his daughter over to the table to talk with Eddie about the morning.

"Hi, Mr. Rogers, hi, Ami," Eddie said. "I'd like you to meet our friends from Michigan. This is Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally." Eddie pointed to them as he mentioned their names. "They'll be fishing with us tomorrow."

"Nice to meet all of you. I was going to ask if Ami could come, but I think it may be too crowded."

"Not at all, we'll make room," Eddie said. "The Lady Guinevere has plenty of room for everyone."

"Okay, if you're sure," Vince said.

"We'll be heading out at six in the morning. If you and Ami could be there by five thirty it would be great," Eddie said.

"We'll be there. See you guys tomorrow morning," Vince said.

After Vince and Ami left, Jenny said, "She is so quiet."

"No kidding, she didn't say a word," Kim said. "Do you guys know her very well?"

"Not really. We've talked to her at the meetings, but she is usually quiet. I think she's fourteen or fifteen. She joined the youth group a few months ago, and I think this is her first tournament," Kathy said.

Eddie, Jenny, Kathy and Brad talked to a few more of the youth members, introducing their friends to the ones that didn't meet them at the meeting on Thursday. At eight thirty, the group headed for the boat.

"We should change and get started on the rods and tackle," Brad said. "We like to get it done before we head out in the morning."

The guys went below to change from the white slacks and shirts they wore to the meeting. It was fairly warm so they all put on shorts and tee shirts. While they were dressing, the girls came down to change too. The girls waited until the guys were finished before going into the stateroom to change their clothes. While they were removing their things, the guys went up to get started on the tackle.

"Thanks for letting us wear the skirts and shirts tonight," Kim said. "It was so cool with all of us dressed alike."

"No problem. Tomorrow, we'll wear shorts and polo shirts—so will the guys. We like it when we look like a team," Jenny said. "By the way, we want you guys to sleep in the staterooms tonight."

"We slept in them last time, we can sleep in the salon," Kim said. "What are you and Kathy wearing tonight?"

"Our jerseys, like we always do," Jenny said. "We would really prefer it if you took the staterooms. You guys are our guests after all."

Kim and Sally argued with Kathy and Jenny, but in the end, they lost. Jenny and Kathy wouldn't let them sleep in the salon that night. They did agree to switch the next time Kim, Sally, Tom and Jack stayed on the boat. Once they were in their baggy shirts, the girls went up to the salon. Jenny asked Eddie if the guys wanted help, but Eddie said they were okay.

A few minutes later, Jack stuck his head in the cabin. "Sweetie, we'd like sodas."

Sally scrambled off the settee, went to the galley and took four Cokes out of the refrigerator. She took the sodas out to the cockpit, giving one to each of the guys. Jack thanked her with a kiss and a playful smack on the butt.

"Do you want anything else, Honey?" Sally asked, gazing into Jack's eyes.

"No, thanks for the sodas." Jack kissed her again.

Sally went back into the cabin, flopping down on the settee where she had been sitting.

"Do you always jump when Jack tells you to?" Jenny asked.

Grinning, Sally nodded. "I will do whatever he tells me to."

"Anything?" Jenny asked, rolling her eyes. "Why?"

"Because I want to—because I love him."

Kathy remembered the conversations in the past. Sally had kind of told her about how she felt, even though Kathy didn't really understand.

"If Jack told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?" Kathy asked.

"He would never tell me to do that. Jack would never tell me to do anything that would hurt me."

"How do you know?" Jenny asked.

"Because he loves me!"

Kim, while not fully agreeing with how Sally felt, was beginning to understand her cousin's feelings. She moved closer, letting her leg rest against Sally's.

"I guess I just can't comprehend it," Jenny said. "It would piss me off if a guy told me what to do instead of asking."

"It doesn't make Sally mad, does it?" Kim looked at her cousin, returning the smile Sally gave her. "She likes the way things are—it's her business if that's what she wants."

Taking a deep breath, Sally let it out with a sigh. "I do it because I'm committed to Jack. I love him and I trust him. Maybe it isn't for everyone, but I love being able to give myself to him completely. When he tells me what he wants, it makes me all tingly inside."

"What does he tell you to do?" Jenny asked.

Sally shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, not too much really—not enough to suit me most of the time. I really wish he was more demanding, but it's not his style. Jack is a very loving, tender guy."

"So, if he came in here and told you he wanted a blowjob, you'd do it?" Jenny said, grinning.

"Sure."

"In front of everyone?"

"If that's what he wanted."

"That's weird!" Jenny said, shaking her head.

"Not really, Jen. Like you wouldn't do the same for Brad," Kathy said.

"I would not!"

"Yes you would, and you know it."

"He would have to ask—say please," Jenny replied.

"Right, like you would make him beg for it. I know I do it when Eddie tells me to," Kathy said, realizing that Eddie had actually told her what he wanted in the past.

"It's not just sex with Sally and Jack. She does anything," Kim said. "It really used to bother me, but not anymore. If that's what she wants, it's cool with me. I wouldn't want anyone telling me how to feel or behave."

"Neither would I. That includes Brad telling me what to do. I'm nobody's slave!" Jenny said.

"Neither am I, Jen. Jack isn't forcing me to do anything, and I know I can say no—even though I probably wouldn't. I feel safe and loved when I'm with him. Like I said, it's about trust."

"Does that mean that if we wanted to have a girls day of fishing or just being out on the boat, you'd ask Jack for permission to go?" Jenny asked.

"Yes, and if he said no, I wouldn't go," Sally replied. "Why, are you thinking of having a girls day out on the boat?"

"Kathy and I talked about it. Would you guys like to do it sometime? We could invite some of our friends and have a blast. We were thinking of doing it the next time you came down here," Jenny said.

"Cool, that sounds like fun. Count me in," Kim said.

Sally got up, went out to the cockpit and over to where Jack was standing.

"Jack, Jenny and Kathy are talking about having a girls day out on the boat. Can I go, too?"

Jack was just about to tell Sally she didn't have to ask him, but instead he said, "Yes, you can go."

Sally leaned against Jack, kissing him. "Thank you."

When Sally went into the cabin, she was giggling. Sitting down again, she said, "I can go with you."

Eddie finished with the rod he was working on. After placing it in one of the holders along the edge of the flying bridge, he leaned against the gunwale. "What was that all about, Jack?"

"What? Oh, you mean Sally? She wanted to know if she could go with the girls on the boat. Apparently the girls are planning a trip or something," Jack replied.

"I gathered that, why did Sally ask your permission?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Jack said, "Because she does."

Tom laughed. "You have to know my sister, Eddie. I used to think she was nuts, but that's just the way she is."

"I've read about people like that," Brad said, joining the conversation. "They call it submissiveness or something like that."

"I'm not really sure what it is, but if that's what Sally wants, that's what she'll get. Arguing with her is fruitless," Jack said. "I've tried to tell her I wasn't comfortable with it, but she won't listen. For some reason she wants me to tell her what to do, and approve of the things she wants to do."

"My sister has always been a bit weird. I love her, but sometimes I wonder about her," Tom said.

"Aunt Anne says it's normal and I shouldn't worry about it. She told me to learn more about it before I start judging Sally. There are a few things I know for sure; I really care for Sally and would never hurt her. I know that she cares about me so for now I'm willing to do what she wants. Sally is the sweetest girl a guy could ever want and I'm really happy about the way we are together."

"From what I've read, that kind of lifestyle includes a dominant partner and a submissive partner. When the submissive doesn't do what their told, they get punished. It also has ties to BDSM—you know, bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism. That's some weird shit if you ask me," Brad said.

"That's not going to happen! I'm not into anything like that, and I don't think Sally is either. I would let her go before I'd treat her badly," Jack said.

"I don't know, some of it sounds kind of fun. I'm not talking about torture or causing real pain, but tying up a girl and having sex might be cool," Brad said. "Some of the things I've seen on the internet look like they should be illegal or something. You know, the harnesses and shit like that."

"What do you look at on the Internet?" Tom asked. "I've seen some pretty weird things, but nothing like that."

"It's on there, trust me. If you dig deep enough, you can find things you never wanted to see. I remember one site that showed women chained to the wall while guys in leather hoods whipped them. I don't know if it was real or not, but it almost made me sick," Brad said.

"One time, our sisters and their friends made a video where they tied one of the girls up and ravished her. It was pretty hot as I remember," Tom said.

"Who got tied up?" Eddie asked.

"My ex girlfriend. She didn't know what was happening at first and really tried to fight, but before it was all over, she was loving it!" Tom said.

"That's an understatement!" Jack said.

"Yeah, well I guess it turned out for the best in the long run," Tom said. "I hope she's happy now that she and Megan are together."

"Was she the one that dumped you for the other girl?" Eddie asked.

"Yeah, Megan, Jack's ex girlfriend."

"Looks like things are working out for you guys now," Brad said.

"To say the least! It was a bitch at first, but now things are great," Tom said.

"Well, I guess we're all set out here. Why don't we go in and see what the girls are up to?" Eddie said.

After putting the remaining tackle away, the guys went into the cabin. Kim, Sally, Jenny and Kathy were sprawled out on the settees, listening to music and talking. The guys went over to their respective girlfriends, joining them on the settees. When Jack went to where Sally was reclining, she jumped up so he could sit down. She sat on the floor, resting her head on his leg.

Reaching down, Jack stroked Sally's sun lightened hair. Her normally light brown tresses were almost blonde. She looked up at him, smiling with her mouth and bright green eyes. When Jack asked her if she wanted to sit on the settee with him, she shook her head. Jack continued to run his fingers through her hair while she stroked his knee.

Looking up again, Sally said, "We were talking about going fishing with just the girls. Jenny and Kathy are going to invite some of their friends so we can meet them."

"Sounds like you'll have a great time. When are you going?" Jack asked.

"When you guys come down here next time," Jenny said. "We might even spend the night on the boat."

Jack glanced at Sally. She raised her eyebrows, grinning when Jack nodded. He thought she was asking if she could, confirming it when she smiled at him. Sally hooked her arm around his leg, hugging it to her side.

"Maybe we can have the guys over to the new house while you girls go fishing. We'll have to get the pool opened before then," Tom said.

"Who are you going to invite?" Eddie asked his sister.

"Cindy and Erin for sure, I don't know who else yet," Jenny said.

"I'm going to get the airbed out," Brad said. "It's getting late and we have to get up at four thirty."

"You're right, Brad, it is getting late." Jenny got up to help, giving him a one-arm hug. "I'll get the bedding."

The teens all got up. Jack tried to convince Eddie and Brad take the staterooms, but they wouldn't agree. Kim and Sally helped make the beds before everyone said goodnight.

Jack, Tom, Sally and Kim paused in the passageway. They talked softly, telling each they felt funny sleeping in the staterooms while the others slept in the salon.

"If this was our boat, wouldn't you do the same thing, Honey?" Sally said to Jack.

"Yes, I guess I would. When Tomiko is ready, we'll take them out and we'll all have staterooms. Goodnight, we're going to bed."

Tom and Kim went into the small stateroom while Jack and Sally went into the master. Once the door was closed, Kim took Tom in her arms. She laid her head against his chest, hugging him snuggly. Tom stroked her back, kissing Kim on top of the head.

Shuffling their feet, they moved to the bed. Kim let go of Tom with one arm so she could pull the covers back. They crawled onto the bed, keeping their arms locked around one another.

After kissing for a moment, Kim pulled back so she could look into Tom's eyes. She brushed his hair back as she smiled.

"Baby, I love you," Kim said. "You've been so sweet to me lately."

Tom grinned, nodding his head.

"There's something I need you to do for me," Kim said as she pulled her top over her head.

"What?"

Kim tossed the top aside. She wiggled out of her panties, dropping them on the floor next to the bed. Naked, Kim started to take Tom's house.

"I need you to fuck me! I really like it when we make love, but tonight, I want you to do want you want—what I want." Kim wrapped her hand around his penis, stroking it firmly. "You can put this wonderful cock anywhere you want, as long as you put it in me!"

Chuckling, Tom pushed Kim on her back. He grabbed her legs, spreading them as he pushed them along her sides. Dropping his head, Tom licked the length of her sex. He mouthed her for a moment, moved up and kissed her lips.

"Put it where you want it," Tom said.

Kim reached between them, took his member in her hand, and pressed it against her opening. When he felt her vagina envelope his penis, Tom shoved in, pushing the air out of Kim's lungs.

"Oh yeah, that's what I need. Now fuck me!"

Chapter 12


April and Jeri sat on their couch holding hands. The television was on, but neither of them was watching it. After arriving at the apartment, they had made a list of the things they were going to move as well as what they were throwing away.

"You know, we should put some of this furniture in storage," Jeri said. "What will we do if this gig doesn't work out?"

April shifted so she was kneeling on the couch. She took Jeri's face between her hands and kissed her tenderly on the lips.

"Darling, first of all, this job IS going to work out, I can feel it. Our new bosses are not the kind of people that'll do stupid things. Do you realize that since they hired us, they haven't told us what to do once? I don't know about Jack and Tom, but Kim and Sally are eager to learn. They ask good questions and then listen when I answer them," April said.

"Their brothers are about the same. Sometimes the questions seem a little dumb, but that's only because the things they want to know are second nature to me. They're willing to do what I tell them to do."

"Right, see what I mean? Anyway, look at this crap we call furniture. We've collected everything we have from people that didn't want it anymore. This couch pokes you in the ass if you sit in the wrong place. Our kitchen table and chairs don't match. The bed—well, who the hell knows who's slept in that thing!

"We're making more money than we ever have. We're getting an apartment and utilities as part of our job. Shit, girl, if we save part of the money we make for few months, we'll be able to buy new furniture if we do have to move." April leaned in, kissing Jeri again.

"You're right, April. You are always so level headed about these things. That's one of the reasons I love you so much," Jeri said as she cuddled closer to April. "I can't wait to move in. I can't believe they gave us the keys already."

April began rubbing Jeri's side, moving her hand to her breast. She ran her thumb over Jeri's nipple, smiling as it responded to the stimulation. Like usual, Jeri wasn't wearing a bra. The silk blouse she wore added to the sensation. Jeri let out a throaty moan, clutching April's hand to her chest.

April and Jeri had worn skirts and blouses to dinner. They wanted to look nice for their bosses, and their families—and they wanted to look sexy for each other.

"How soon do you think we can move in?" Jeri asked, her breathing becoming a bit labored.

April slipped off the couch, kneeling on the floor. She pulled Jeri's legs over the edge of the threadbare cushion, pushed her skirt up to her hips, and took hold of the waistband of her panties. Jeri lifted her bottom so April could slip her panties down her legs. Pushing Jeri's knees apart, April kissed Jeri's thigh.

"You have the most beautiful pussy I've ever seen." April ran her thumb over Jeri's labia. "I don't know when we'll be able to move, probably after we get the furniture."

Resting her head on Jeri's thigh, April blew a stream of warm air against Jeri's sex. Jeri opened her legs wider, running her fingers through April's hair. When Jeri tried to pull April to her crotch, April resisted. She kissed Jeri's thigh, flicking her tongue against her flesh.

"You love teasing me, don't you?"

April looked up, grinning as she nodded her head. She moved her face into Jeri's splayed junction, running her tongue up between her labia. When April rubbed her nose against Jeri's clit, Jeri grabbed her by the hair.

"Oh yes! God I love it when you eat my pussy," Jeri said in a shaky voice.

April began working her tongue into Jeri's tender folds. She pushed her legs further apart, shaking her head from side to side. After a few moments, April sat back.

"What time are we supposed to meet Joanne tomorrow, Honey?" April asked.

"Who the fuck cares! Why did you stop?"

April got up, took Jeri's hand, and pulled her to her feet. Standing close, April undid a couple of the buttons on Jeri's blouse. Pulling the blouse open, she kissed Jeri's breasts.

"Come on, I want to do something tonight," April said.

Leaning over, Jeri reached for her panties. Before she could retrieve them, April stepped on the lacy garment. "You don't need those, not tonight."

Giggling, Jeri stood up. She moved closer to April, placing her hands on her hips. Slowly, Jeri pulled April's skirt up so she could remove her underwear. "If I don't, neither do you."

Once April's panties were around her ankles, Jeri flattened her hand against her vulva. Rubbing her firmly, Jeri said, "Hmmm, you're already wet." Hooking her finger, Jeri penetrated her.

April managed to step out of her panties without tripping. She held Jeri's shoulders; yielding to the slow fingering Jeri was treating her to. When April began to rock her hips, Jeri removed her finger.

"Mmmm, that's tasty!" Jeri pulled her finger out of her mouth, smacking her lips.

"Come on, Brat, let's go," April said, hooking her arm through Jeri's.

Jeri and April climbed into their car. April drove while Jeri sat opposite her in the bucket seat of the compact vehicle. Turning her body toward April, Jeri hiked the front of her skirt up. When April noticed, she chuckled.

"Two can play that game, Sweetie!" April put her left foot on the seat, causing her skirt to rise.

"Where are we going?" Jeri asked.

"It's a surprise."

"Will you give me a hint?" Jeri reached between her legs, stroking herself seductively.

"Do you think that will make me tell you?"

"I don't know—maybe this will." Jeri reached over, placing her hand on April's mons.

April removed Jeri's hand as she giggled. "Behave now! You wouldn't want me to get into a wreck would you?"

"Nope! I still want to know what you're up to though."

"You'll see soon enough. I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

April made a few turns, ending up on the interstate. When she pulled onto the exit for West Palm Beach, Jeri laughed.

"You're not going where I think you are, are you?" Jeri asked.

"That all depends on where you think I'm going."

"You're going to our new apartment, aren't you?"

April smiled, nodding her head. Jeri smiled back as she settled into her seat and fixed her skirt. When they arrived at the new house, they both started to giggle. April and Jeri got out of the car. They almost ran to the steps leading to the apartment, laughing as they went. April opened the door, turned around, and grabbed Jeri. With one hand behind her back and the other under her knees, April carried Jeri into the apartment.

Jeri clung to April, her arms around her neck. They kissed briefly before April lowered Jeri to her feet. Facing one another, they embraced. Jeri began kissing April, moaning when April gripped her bottom. Their kissing became hurried as they began to strip each other. Standing naked, April and Jeri pressed their bodies together, trying to maximize the contact.

"We should make a rule about this. We should be naked whenever we're in our new home," Jeri said.

April grinned, moving her shoulders so her breasts rubbed against Jeri's. "What about when we have guests?"

"They can be naked too!" Jeri replied and then giggled.

Holding one another, they began to sway. Soon, the swaying turned into a slow dance. They didn't need music, rather dancing to a rhythm in their heads. April kissed Jeri softly on her lips. Jeri returned the kiss, slipping her tongue into her partner's mouth. After a few moments, they stopped moving to stare out the window.

From the large window in the living room, they could see the canal, but the wing of the large house obscured the pool and backyard. They stood side by side, staring into the night, lit only by the moon.

"We should put the couch over there so we can see outside," April said, turning Jeri so she could see where she was pointing. "The television can go on that wall."

Jeri nodded, visualizing the room with furniture in it. She kept her arm around April's waist as she guided her to the kitchen. They talked about where the table should go and what they would hang on the walls. Finished in the kitchen, they went to the bedroom they would soon share.

While they talked about where they would put the furniture, they began to hug and kiss. April kissed her way down Jeri's body, kneeling in front of her. She pulled Jeri down, hugged her and then they lay on the plush carpeting. Their passion grew until they were making love in the middle of the bedroom floor.

April and Jeri lay next to one another on their backs. They were both sated from the session. Holding hands, the two lovers began to talk about their future. They talked about the yacht as well as the teenagers they worked for. Jeri told April how much she loved her and April responded in kind.

After an hour, they slowly got up so they could dress for the ride home. In the car, they were silent, both lost in the dreams of things to come. The trip back to their apartment seemed short. On the way into the small apartment, Jeri held April's hand.

"I want to move as soon as we can, Sweetheart," April said. "I think we should start packing."

"If we could get boxes tonight, we could start right now. I want to move as bad as you do."

"We should rent a truck when we move. I think we can find a few of our friends to help us."

"Even if we can't, we'll do it ourselves."

April and Jeri went to bed, snuggling together as they continued to make plans for the move. They fell asleep in one another's arms, their bodies pressed together and their legs entwined.

The telephone's ring woke April and Jeri early Saturday morning. Reaching to the telephone, Jeri said, "Who in the hell is calling this early."

Jeri sat up when she heard Joanne's cheerful voice. They talked for a few moments and then Jeri hung up.

"Get up, Baby. We're going shopping!" Jeri said as she leaned over and kissed April. "That was Joanne; she wants us to pick her up in an hour."

April stretched her arms above her head. Jeri got on top of her, straddling her waist. Leaning forward, she kissed April firmly on the lips. When Jeri lifted her head, April sighed.

"If you keep that up we're going to be late," April said. "Let me up so I can pee and then take a shower."

"Okay, but I'd rather stay here and kiss you." Jeri got off April. "Can we shower together?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

In the shower, Jeri and April took turns washing each other. They finished, dried off and began to dress. After fixing their hair, they left to pickup Joanne, deciding to wait for breakfast until they found whether or not she ate.

At the hotel, Joanne answered the door when April knocked. She invited the girls into the suite, telling them she'd be ready in a minute.

"Marge, Anne, and Liz are going to tag along. They want to see what's available for their house while we shop for you guys," Joanne said.

"We haven't had breakfast yet, could we stop at a drive through?" Jeri asked.

"None of us have eaten. The guys are going to meet with a contractor this morning, someone Mr. Waters recommended. We thought we'd grab breakfast before we went shopping," Joanne said.

Marge and Anne came into the suite. Liz came out of her room and the women left. They ate in the hotel before heading for the stores.

"I thought we'd start at Haverty's. I have a few other stores in mind if we can't find anything there," Joanne said.

"Um, isn't that a bit expensive?" April asked.

"No, not for high quality furniture. They have a nice selection from what I've seen on their website."

The group of women went into the exclusive furniture store, arriving at nine o'clock, just as the store opened. Jeri gripped April's arm when she saw the selection of furniture displayed. The displays were set up as rooms, accented with accessories.

"Okay, let's start with the living room. Do you like leather or fabric?" Joanne asked.

April and Jeri didn't answer at first. They looked at one another shrugging their shoulders. Marge noticed they seemed uncomfortable so she went over to talk to them. Stepping between Jeri and April, Marge slipped her arms around their waists.

"I like leather because it cleans up much easier than the fabric does. I also love the feeling against my skin when I'm naked," Marge said quietly.

April and Jeri giggled. "Okay, leather I guess, that is if it isn't too expensive."

"I want you two to look at the style, the color, and anything else except the prices. We aren't going to base our decisions on money—is that clear? Don would skin me if he found out we didn't get you two exactly what you wanted."

Jeri and April nodded, but neither of them really understood what was going on. While they had dealt with the owners of yachts and knew how extravagant they could be when it came to furnishing their pride and joy, the girls had never been involved in furnishing a home.

"Leather!" Marge told Joanne.

The women wandered in and out of the display rooms, looking at the different styles and colors. While the rest of them looked, Joanne went to find the manager so she could introduce herself. Joanne returned, letting Marge and Anne know everything was all set. She said the manager was willing to give her the commission the store offered other decorators.

"Have you thought about how you want to set up the living room?" Joanne asked.

"Yes, we want the couch to face the picture window so we can see the canal. We thought we could put the television on the wall that separated the kitchen from the living room," April said.

Joanne took a drawing out of her portfolio. She found a table and spread the drawing out so Jeri and April could show her what they had in mind. Using a pencil, Joanne sketched on the drawing, drawing in the furniture.

"I'd suggest a sectional so we could cut the living room off from the bedrooms. We can put a chair here and then add a coffee table. I'd put an end table at this end of the couch and a floor lamp here," Joanne drew in the items as she talked.

"Wow, I really like that," Jeri said.

April agreed, saying she thought it would make the best use of the room. Joanne folded the drawing, putting it back into her portfolio. The group walked through the store to see as much as they could before going back to the living room displays.

"What do you think of this?" Joanne asked, showing the two girls a light tan leather sectional.

"It's beautiful," Jeri said. "What do you think, Sweetie?"

"I love it." April sat on the couch, leaning back into the cushions. She giggled and said, "I think we could lay on it together."

"Try it out," Joanne said. "You should make sure it's comfortable."

Giggling, April and Jeri stretched out on the couch. Jeri lay with her back to the cushions while April snuggled against her.

"If we add a few throw pillows, I think it will be perfect," April said.

The two girls sat up. They ran their hands over the smooth leather, feeling the texture. Joanne made a note in her notebook when Jeri and April said they wanted the sectional. Joanne helped them select a matching chair, an ottoman, and tables.

Once the living room furniture was settled, they went to look for a dinette set for the kitchen. They decided on a round glass table with four chrome and black chairs. The seats and back of the chairs were leather webbing.

"Okay, now for the bedroom. Let's go over there, I saw something I think you'll like," Joanne said.

When they stepped into the display room, Jeri and April gasped. They stood side by side; staring at the king-sized bed Joanne showed them. The bed was black lacquer with four posts that supported a mirrored canopy. Jeri and April looked at each other for a moment. They smiled, and then giggled as they moved to the bed and climbed on it. Lying on their backs, they looked up at their reflections in the mirror above them.

"Marge, Anne, this is what I was thinking about for the master suites in the main house. What do you think?" Joanne asked.

Anne and Marge went to the bed, stretching out next to Jeri and April. They glanced across the girls, smiling at each other.

"This works for me," Anne said.

Marge agreed, telling Joanne she thought it would be a great choice for the bedrooms. Jeri and April got off the bed. They stood near Joanne, watching as Marge and Anne chatted about the matching dressers, chests, and armoire.

"Do you guys like it?" Marge asked Jeri and April.

"Yes, in fact, I thought Joanne was thinking about it for our room," Jeri said.

"I was. I also thought it would look nice in the main house," Joanne said.

"You wouldn't care if we had the same furniture?" April asked.

"No, why would we?" Marge replied.

"Um, I don't know—I just thought you would," April replied.

Marge and Anne chuckled, shaking their heads. They assure the two girls they could have the same bedroom sets if that's what they wanted. April and Jeri told them they really liked the furniture so it was settled.

Joanne made more notes in her book. She took the girls to see another bedroom set for the guest bedroom in the apartment. By the time she was ready to talk to the manager about what she wanted, she had picked out the furniture for the apartment and the guesthouse.

Marge, Anne, Liz, April and Jeri looked around while Joanne met with the manager. April and Jeri picked out a few accent items, making note of them to show Joanne. The group went to the table Joanne and the manager were sitting at to add the items.

The manager wrote the order, asking questions about delivery dates. Joanne asked how soon the furniture for the apartment could be delivered. The manager told her the things could be delivered anytime because he had the items in stock.

"Great, how about today?" Joanne asked.

The manager chuckled. "Well, we normally need a couple days."

"Is our order normal?" Joanne asked.

"No, it sure isn't. I'll see what I can do. Give me a few minutes," the manager said.

"They'll do it," Joanne said. "When you walk in and spend over thirty thousand dollars, you get their attention."

"We can have a truck at the house around five," the manager said when he returned.

"That will be fine." Joanne placed check marks next to the furniture for the guesthouse. "We'll need these things soon. I'll call you to set up delivery."

Marge wrote a check for the items. The manager finished the paperwork, giving Joanne copies. He leaned close, telling her he would take care of the commission.

The women left the store. April and Jeri giggled all the way to the car, whispering to each other about how happy they were. They thanked Marge and Anne for getting the furniture and they thanked Joanne for helping them pick it out.

"When do you two plan on moving?" Anne asked.

"As soon as we can," April said. "We stopped at the apartment last night to look around again. Both of us are excited about moving."

"What do you have to do in order to move?" Liz asked.

"We have to pack our stuff, get a truck and find some guys to do the heavy lifting. We need boxes too," Jeri said. "We should be able to get everything finished in a few days."

"What to move today?" Marge asked. "I think the six of us can do it if we all pitch in. We can stop at one of those moving places for boxes."

"Thank you, but we can't ask you guys to do that. You've done more than enough as it is," April said.

"You're not asking, we're offering. Come on, it won't take long. If you have anything that's too heavy, we'll have the guys give us a hand. Don said they'd be finished with the contractor, and the other people they were meeting with early this afternoon," Marge said.

"Are you sure? We wouldn't want to impose on you," April said.

Marge and Anne assured the two girls they wouldn't be imposing. Joanne and Liz said they didn't have any plans so they would be happy to help.

"I don't know what to say," Jeri said, tears filling her eyes. "Why?"

"Because we want to. All of us have been in your shoes before. We know how exciting it is to get a new place to live," Marge said. "We'll also feel much better having someone we know at the house while we're not there."

Marge passed a truck rental. She turned around, driving back so they could rent a truck and buy boxes for the move. Once they had secured the truck, April and Joanne went together while Marge followed them to the old apartment.

"I can't believe how nice all of you are," April said to Joanne.

"I've learned it from Marge and Anne, they're the greatest. They have given me the chance to fulfill my dream of being a decorator. It really sucked having to work in a furniture store. I have my degree, but was never able to use it until now."

"Jeri and I are really excited too. We've always wanted to have an opportunity like this. Both of us have worked on different boats, but this is the first time we've been able to be involved in the delivery."

"How do you two feel about working for the kids?"

"You know, at first we were very leery about working for someone so young, but after spending some time with them, we think they're great. None of them act like they're better than anyone else. That's very rare in this business."

"I think it says a lot about their parents, don't you?"

"To say the least. You can tell they have been taught to respect others and be polite. If you didn't know it, you'd never be able to tell they have money. That goes for the rest of you guys too. Jeri and I know we work for the families, but they make us feel like friends."

"Sam and I aren't rich, but we're doing okay. Sam just made partner at Jerry's firm so that will help. We are going to be moving into a new house soon too. Anne and Marc are moving in with Don and Marge. Sam and I are buying Anne's house."

After a few moments of silence, Joanne said, "How long have you and Jeri been together?"

"A just over three years now. We met on a yacht and started dating. Before too long, we moved in together and have been together ever since."

"No men?"

"Not very often, but once in a while we get an itch. We used to go to what they call SF parties. They're parties on a yacht when the owner is away. Most of the people that attend them are other captains and mates from other yachts. We sort of have a close-knit community in this business. Every once in awhile, we all let our hair down."

"I don't mean to sound stupid, but what is a SF party?"

April giggled. "Sport fucking! It's where a bunch of people get half drunk and have at it. Most of the people at the parties know one another very well. The parties are sex just for the sake of sex with no commitments. In the end, we go home with our partners if we have one."

"How often do you go to one of those parties?" Joanne asked.

"It's been a while for Jeri and me. We prefer to be with one another now. If it were legal, I'd ask Jeri to marry me. I love her dearly."

Joanne smiled. She thought about what April said, realizing that not too long ago the statement would have made her uneasy. Now, after spending time with her new friends, Joanne found it perfectly acceptable.

April pulled into the parking lot of the apartment complex. She parked the small truck near the door, turned it off, and got out. The other women came over to help carry the boxes and tape into the apartment.

"Okay, let's get started. Anne and I will take the kitchen. Jo, you and Liz can pack the books and knickknacks. April, you and Jeri start in the bedroom," Marge said, taking the roll of the supervisor.

The women went to work. Marge and Anne began packing the dishes and other kitchen items while Joanne and Liz worked in the small living room. Jeri and April took a moment to embrace before they began packing their clothing.

"This is unbelievable, Sweetie. I don't think I've ever met anyone as nice as these people. I love you," Jeri said.

"You're right about that. Remember when you talked me into going to dinner the first time I met them? I was so worried about going, but, now, I'm so happy I did."

After a quick kiss, they stripped the sheets and blankets off the bed. They folded the bedding, setting it aside. April and Jeri began emptying their dresser drawers, placing the clothes on the bed in neat piles. Once the dressers were empty, they went out to get boxes.

Marge came into the bedroom to see how things were going. Glancing at the bed, she saw the assortment of adult toys April and Jeri had in a small group. She began chuckling, causing the girls to blush.

"I have this one," Marge said as she picked up a Rabbit vibrator. "I just love it!"

Jeri and April giggled. April picked up a harness with a dildo attached, holding it to her mons. "Jeri likes this one."

Marge grabbed the dildo, stroking it like it was a man's penis. "I'll bet she does, I would too."

Jeri pulled the harness away from April, tossing it on the bed. "You like it as much as I do!"

They all laughed. Jeri and April began packing their things into the boxes, labeling them with a large marker. Once the items on the bed were packed, they started on the closet. Marge went back to the kitchen to help Anne finish in there.

Two hours later, the women sat on the couch. Almost everything was packed and the boxes were stacked in the living room.

"What are you going to do with the furniture?" Marge asked.

"Throw it away I guess. We sure don't need it anymore," April said.

"Maybe you could give it to some of your friends. Most of it is in pretty good shape," Joanne pushed on one of the couch's cushions. "This thing is shot, but the rest is okay."

"How about Becky? Maybe she could use it," Jeri said. "I know she's looking for a place to live since she broke up with that asshole she was dating."

"How long do you have left on your lease?" Marge asked.

"A couple months, but I think we can get out of it. There aren't any empty apartments in the complex so they should be able to lease it pretty easy," April said.

"Maybe Becky could move in here," Jeri said. "I'll call her."

Jeri picked up the telephone to call her friend. After talking to her for a few minutes, Jeri told Becky goodbye and hung up.

"She would love to live here for now. Becky couldn't believe we were moving into the apartment at the house, she used to live there when she worked for Dragon Fire. Becky was the housekeeper," Jeri said. "She's on her way over right now."

The women began carrying boxes to the truck. They had made several trips when they heard a shrill voice scream out, "Ape, Jeri! How the hell are you two?"

Becky hugged both girls, giving them a kiss on the cheek.

"Great, Becky, how are you?" April asked.

"Things are okay. Do you remember Zack? I was with him for a few months, but broke up when I caught him in bed with another girl. It turns out he has a coke habit and is mean when he's high. I'm still at his house, but I want to get out before he gets back from the charter he's on," Becky said.

Jeri introduced Marge, Anne, Liz and Joanne to Becky. They shook hands and then the women went back to the apartment for another load.

"Where did you meet them?" Becky asked once the older women were gone.

"You're not going to believe this, but we work for them—well, we actually work for their kids," April said.

"What?" Becky said.

"Marge and Anne have teenage kids. Marge has Jack and Kim. Anne has Tom and Sally. The boys are seventeen and the girls are fifteen. They bought a one forty and hired April and me. Part of the deal is the apartment at Dragon Fire's old house. They bought the house too," Jeri said. "We'll tell you more about it later, we have to help."

On the way into the apartment Becky said, "Let me get this straight. The people you work for are helping you move?"

"No, the people we work for are fishing right now," April said with a chuckle.

"This is too weird! You two bitches are the luckiest chicks I know," Becky said.

Becky helped move the boxes to the truck. While she worked, Jeri told her they were leaving the furniture and that Becky could have it if she wanted it. When she said it would really help her out, Jeri pointed at the box with the bedding in it. "You might as well keep that stuff, we aren't going to need it anymore."

Once the truck was loaded, April and Jeri took one last look around. They hugged one another and then gave the keys to Becky. Becky thanked them and then offered to help them move into the new apartment.

When they arrived at the house, Don, Marc and the other men were there. Don and Marc were in the backyard, talking to a young man and a girl. When Marge, Anne and the rest of the women came into the yard, Don introduced the couple.

"This is Andy and Paula. They are going to be taking care of the pool for us," Don said. "They were recommended by Gunter Schmitt, the general contractor we hired to do the renovations. We found Gunter through Jack Waters."

"Hi, Andy, Paula," Becky said. "This is like a homecoming, isn't it?"

"Hi, Becky. It sure is. How are you doing?" Andy said.

"Things are looking up." Becky turned to Don. "Andy and Paula used to take care of the pool when I worked here."

"They told me they had worked here before. When did you work here, Becky?" Don asked.

"I was the housekeeper for the old owners, Dragon Fire. When they got into trouble, I lost my job. Jeri is letting me take over the lease on the apartment she and April just moved out of."

Don chuckled. "That didn't take long. Where are your things, Jeri?"

"In the truck that's out front. We went shopping this morning and then Marge and the others talked us into moving," Jeri replied, grinning from ear to ear.

"Well, do you want to get your stuff into the apartment now or wait for the furniture to get here?" Marc asked.

"I guess we could get the kitchen stuff into the apartment. It might be better to wait for the furniture for the rest," April said. "Oh, we could put the things in the closet too."

"Okay, you tell us what you need and we'll move the boxes. We can put the things you want to wait on in the garage so we can empty the truck," Don said.

With the four men helping, the truck was offloaded in less than an hour. They stacked some of the boxes in the garage and carried others up to the apartment. Once the truck was empty, Don and Marc offered to return it while the women began unpacking what they could.

The women took a break after an hour. The kitchen was finished and most of Jeri and April's clothing was hung in the closet of the master bedroom. They went out to the patio to sit down and rest.

Becky began telling the women about some of the parties that had been held at the house in the past. She told them that the police had been there many times because of the noise. Some of the stories she told were funny, others were a bit sick. She mentioned one time they had a bunch of underage girls at the house and that a few of the teenagers were raped. Becky said that was the last party at the house and the beginning of the owner's downfall.

After resting for a bit, Becky took Marge and Anne into the house. She showed the women several of the unique features of the house, things the women hadn't learned from the realtor. There were hidden storage areas in the master suites that had been used to hide drugs. In the recreation room, she showed them how some of the equipment that was left behind worked.

Don, Marc, Jerry, and Sam returned. They brought sodas, offering them to the women.

It was just after one when the wind picked up. A few minutes later, it began to rain. The group went into the house, sitting on the living room floor and watching the sudden storm through the windows. The rain lasted for about forty minutes. The wind died and the sun came out.

At four in the afternoon, the furniture arrived. The two men on the truck unloaded the new furniture, took it up to the apartment and assembled the things that required it. While Jeri, April and Joanne told the men where everything went, Marge and Anne went to the store for cleaning supplies. They stopped at another store, purchasing bedding for the king-size bed.

The men finished putting the furniture together. Joanne signed the order after she carefully inspected each item to make sure it was correct and not damaged. Once the men left, Jeri and April looked at the new furniture. They sat on the couch and chair in the living room. In the kitchen, they sat at their new table, giggling as they talked about eating there.

When they went into the bedroom, they stood in awe as they stared at the huge bed. "Um, we don't have sheets or blankets for the bed yet. We'll have to go shopping before we can go to bed tonight," Jeri said.

"Here, see if these will do," Marge said as she walked into the room and handed the girls a large bag.

"Wow, these are great! Look, Honey, satin sheets!" April said.

"We went to the store and picked up cleaning supplies. We also got paper to line the drawers and some bedding to get you by. You want me to wash the bedding before you make the bed?" Anne said.

"We can do it, but thanks," April said. "I don't know what to say."

"Let's get started on the drawers. I'll have the guys start bringing up the boxes so we can empty them," Marge said.

"I'll go put the bedding in the washers," Becky said. "I noticed the machines are still here."

Becky took the bags of bedding. She headed downstairs to wash the new things after Marge told her she could find detergent and fabric softener in the van. Marge and Jeri began lining the dresser drawers with paper while April helped the men carry boxes from the garage to the apartment.

Two hours later, the apartment was mostly settled. The beds had been made and the extra set of sheets was in the linen closet. Everyone was tired and hungry by the time they finished. Don told the group he was treating for dinner. They left the house, drove to a restaurant and sat around a large table as a group.

April and Jeri babbled about the apartment and how happy they were to be able to spend their first night there. Joanne offered ideas about decorating the apartment with wall hangings and other accessories. The men talked about the meetings they'd had that day with the contractor and pool service.

"How long will it take to get the guest house ready?" Anne asked.

"Gunter said they could have it painted next week. If there is anything else you want done, it will take longer," Marc said.

"I think we should just paint the place for now. Once we get into the main house, we can decide what we want to do. How about the main house, when are they going to get started there?" Anne asked.

"That's up to Jo. Once she tells him what she wants done, he'll get started," Marc replied.

"I don't really foresee major changes to the house. Some painting and wallpaper will be about all we need right now. You have to decide about the recreation room. If you're going to leave it as is for now, the contractor will be able to get started quickly," Joanne said.

"We're planning on having a building put up down by the seawall. Jack and Tom said they wanted a place to store some of the things for the yacht and have a place to entertain clients while they wait to board. Joanne, I'd like you to work with the kids, as well as Jeri and April on the design," Don said.

"We should plan on a walk from the side of the house to the building too. It will make it easier to move the clients' luggage as well as the stores for the yacht. We might want to consider a fuel line from the road to the yacht too. We can get a better deal on fuel if we have it trucked in rather than buy it at the marinas," Jeri said.

"How does that work, Jeri?" Sam asked.

"They can put in a fuel line that a truck can hook up to by the road. On the other end, we will have a filler hose to fuel the yacht. Because it's diesel, it's very dangerous, not like gasoline. If you don't want to put in a line, the trucking companies usually have long hoses."

"Is there anything else we should consider while the contractor is doing work at the house?" Marc asked.

"I think the shore power and water are okay. The only other thing we may want to think about is a deck along the seawall to protect the lawn. We have to be able to put the tide ramp on something," Jeri said.

"Work with Jo and Gunter. Do whatever you think is necessary or would make things better. Have you had a chance to talk with any brokers yet?" Don said.

"Not yet, we want to wait until the yacht is delivered, or at least presentable. Tom is going to take pictures so we can show the brokers we want to talk to what Tomiko looks like," April said.

"Have you thought about what the charter fee is going to be?" Sam asked.

"We think we should start at one hundred twenty thousand plus expenses," Jeri said. "We can see how that goes and make adjustments as necessary."

"I assume the brokers have standard charter contracts," Jerry said. "When you decide on the broker or brokers, I would like to review the contracts. We'll go over these things again with Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally, but I want to make sure we all know what's going on."

The group finished their meal. They left the restaurant, going back to the house to get the cars they left there. Jeri and April made short grocery list, planning to stop for food on their way back to their new home.

-------

While Jeri and April spent the day moving, Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally fished with their friends.

The sound of the engines starting woke Kim. She rolled over, climbing on top of Tom. Kim began kissing him, telling him to wake up.

"Come on, Stud, time to get up," Kim said.

Tom wrapped his arms around Kim, hugging her firmly. He kissed her nose, and said, "Morning, Baby. What time is it?"

"Four thirty, time to get up. We have to get showered and dressed so we can go fishing." Kim wiggled against him, feeling his morning erection against her mons. "You better be careful, that thing is dangerous! You really beat the kitty last night."

"I'm sorry," Tom said sincerely.

"I'm not! I'm a little tender this morning, but I'll live."

Tom gripped her sides. He began so slid her up, kissing her chest and stomach as he did. "Maybe I should kiss the kitty better then."

"Mmmm, maybe you should."

Tom moved Kim up until her mons was against his mouth. He kissed her, moving her up further so he could kiss and lick her puffy labia. Kim knelt on the bed, moaning as Tom gently licked her. Even though she was still coated with the juices of their lovemaking, Tom wasn't fazed. He kissed her, probing her vagina with his tongue. Kim wiggled, but didn't press down too hard. While she was enjoying the attention, she could feel the throbbing in her vagina.

Kim rolled off Tom, scrambling around so she could kiss him. She got out of bed, telling him she needed to use the head. Without knocking, Kim opened the door and went in. She saw Brad in the shower with Jenny, saying good morning when they noticed her. Kim took care of her immediate problem while Brad and Jenny finished in the shower.

Tom came in as Brad and Jenny got out of the stall. He used the head before he and Kim got into the shower and began to wash.

Jack and Sally hugged one another as they came out of their slumber. Sally reached for his penis, fondling it gently as she kissed his ear. Jack ran his fingers through her hair, turned his head and kissed her lips.

"A blowjob would be nice," Jack said.

Sally squirmed down, taking his penis into her mouth. While she bobbed her head up and down, Jack watched her.

"Sally, when you suck my cock, I want you to look into my eyes."

Moving between Jack's legs, Sally looked up at him. She kept his member between her lips, moving them over the length of his shaft. Jack put his hands behind his head, smiling at Sally as she sucked and licked his penis. After a few moments, he reached down and pulled her up so their heads were even. He kissed her as his hand moved over her back.

"Don't you want to know why I want you to look at me when you do that?" Jack asked.

"Because that's what you want."

"Yes, but I want you to look at me so you can see how happy it makes me. So you can see how much pleasure you give me."

Sally giggled. "Okay. It gives me as much pleasure as it does you, you know? I love the feeling of your cock in my mouth. I really love knowing I'm pleasing you too." Sally kissed him tenderly. "Want me to finish?"

"Not now, Honey. We have to get up and get going."

Jack and Sally got out of bed. They went to the head and waited until Tom and Kim finished in the shower. Once they were finished, Jack and Sally went to their room to get dressed.

"We're wearing these today," Kathy said as she pointed to the matching white shirt and short combinations on the bed.

Kathy began putting on her shirt while Sally and Jack put on their underwear. Tom and Kim came in, making it a bit crowed in the stateroom. They began to dress while talking about the day to come.

"We'll have a quick breakfast before we leave," Kathy said. "The coffee is ready for anyone that wants some."

The group dressed without any regard for modesty. There was laughter as they all went up to the cabin to eat and get ready to go. Eddie came in from the cockpit. He said the engines were warming up and that he was going to get dressed.

Jenny and Sally got the cereal, milk and orange juice out while Kathy and Kim set the table. Tom and Jack sat at the table, drinking coffee with Brad. Eddie came up a few moments later, his hair still wet from his shower.

Just as they began to eat, they heard Vince Rogers calling from the pier. Eddie got up to invite him and his daughter aboard. When Vince and Ami came into the cabin, Jenny asked them if they wanted breakfast.

Holding up a bag, Vince said, "I brought donuts."

"Great, want a bowl of cereal and coffee?" Kathy asked.

"May I have cereal please?" Ami asked meekly.

"Sure, the bowls are in the cabinet over there." Jenny pointed at the galley. "Make yourself at home."

Ami found a bowl. Jenny scooted over to make room for the girl at the table. Vince poured a cup of coffee, leaning against the counter while he ate a donut and sipped the hot coffee.

"Where are you guys going to fish this morning? Are you going out for dolphin and wahoo?" Vince asked.

"No, we're going out to the reef. We want to fish for sails this morning," Eddie said. "If we guess right, most of the boats will be trolling for dolphin and wahoo today."

"They can be easier to catch," Vince said.

"True, but we like catching sailfish better. Besides that, the sails are worth twice as many points." Eddie turned to Ami. "How about you, which would you rather catch, Ami?"

"I don't know. I've only caught dolphin and jacks when we go fishing. Mostly jacks in the ICW."

"We don't have a boat yet so we go with a friend of mine. His boat is only a twenty-five foot center console so we can't really get out too far. We spend most of our time in the ditch," Vince said.

After eating, the guys took care of the dishes while the girls got the boat ready to go. At a quarter to six, Jenny eased the boat out of the slip. She made her way to the inlet, powering through the rough waters. Once they were on the ocean, she headed out at cruising speed. The guys finished in the galley and went to the cockpit to get the rods ready for fishing. They had set the rods up the night before so the only thing they had to do is attach the teasers and hooked lures.

Vince Rogers stood in the cockpit, watching the choreographed movements of the four teens. He was amazed at how each of them seemed to know exactly what they were responsible for.

"Would you mind if Ami fished today, Mr. Rogers?" Eddie asked.

"Um, no, I guess not. Are you sure? She doesn't have any experience with this kind of fishing."

"Yes, we're sure. If she never gets a chance, she'll never have any experience." Eddie smiled, backed up, and then yelled up at the flying bridge. "We have another crew member, Kathy. Want to take care of her please."

Kathy looked over the rail, nodding to Eddie. She stepped back and a moment later, the guys heard a gleeful scream. They were laughing when Kathy led Ami down from the flying bridge and into the cabin. Vince raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything. A few minutes later Ami and Kathy came out to the cockpit.

Ami went over to her dad, turning around so he could see the outfit she was wearing. She gave him a hug, giggled, and headed back up to the flying bridge to be with the rest of the girls.

"I think she's happy," Vince said with a chuckle in his voice.

"It looks like it," Brad said.

"Ami is very shy. She doesn't really do too much with her friends. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you guys including her today." Vince had to turn away to mask the emotion in his eyes.

"I've never done this before," Ami said. "You'll have to tell me what to do."

"No problem, Ami. Just listen to what we say. It's not that hard," Kathy said.

Ami sat on the bench seat, her shoulders back, and her head high. She felt like she was on top of the world. She began to ask questions about what she would be doing, listening as Kathy told her the details of catching sailfish.

Jenny took the microphone from its clip. She called for the port captain, telling him they were on the water when he answered. She listened as the other boats checked in, checking off the names on a sheet she had on the dash.

When she reached the point where they would begin fishing, Jenny backed off on the throttles. She turned the boat north, slowing to trolling speed. In the cockpit, the guys got ready to drop the teasers into the water.

Eddie and Tom worked on the starboard side while Brad and Jack set the portside. Once the transom teasers were out, they lowered the outriggers to add another set to the mix. It only took fifteen minutes for the first fish to start chasing one of the teasers. Kathy yelled down, telling her brother the fish was following the portside rigger. Jack grabbed one of the rods with a lure and fed it back to the fish.

The sailfish took the bait and the fight was on. The fish made several jumps and tail walked across the surface before making a long run. Jack kept pressure on the fish and brought it to the stern after a twenty-minute fight. Eddie tagged the fish while Brad wrenched the circle hook out of the corner of its mouth. After reviving the fish, Brad released the bill so it could swim away.

"You guys are up," Brad said as he looked up at the flying bridge.

"Nice job," Vince said after recording the catch on his clipboard. "That's one hundred points for the fish and another ten points for the circle hook."

The girls and guys switched places. Jenny and Kim took the portside, adjusting the teasers. Kathy and Sally did the same on the starboard side while Ami watched. Once the rods were set, Kathy got the harness out of a locker.

"Let's get this on you, Ami. You're going to take the next fish and it's a lot easier to do it now." After helping Ami put the harness on, Kathy showed her how it worked.

Using one of the rods with a lure on it, Kathy showed Ami how to seat the rod butt in the harness. She held the tip of the rod, pulling down to simulate a fish. Jenny told Ami how to use her legs for leverage and when to reel. She also told Ami about the drag and how to adjust it when she was told to.

The girls practiced for a few minutes as Vince watched from the flying bridge. He was grinning as he watched his daughter learning about how to fish. They were still going over some of the finer pointes when Brad announced a fish was chasing a teaser.

Sally jumped into action, grabbing the teaser rod and starting to reel in the hookless lure. Kathy helped a very excited Ami send the lure back to the fish, telling her she could do it when she said she was scared. Kim and Jenny cleared the other rods so Ami wouldn't have to worry about getting tangled in the lines.

The sailfish slapped at the lure twice before hitting it hard. Ami pulled back when Kathy told her to, screeching as the fish stripped off line. Kathy stood next to Ami, coaching her as she gripped the rod for all she was worth. The fish stopped running for a moment. Kathy told Ami to start reeling while keeping the rod tip up.

It was all Vince could do to keep from telling his daughter what to do, but he knew it was against the rules for the observer to help. Tom snapped pictures of the young girl as she battled with her first big billfish.

When the fish came out of the water, making an acrobatic jump, Ami's shrill voice caused the girls to giggle. Her excitement was almost a great as her fathers. Vince stayed back, but shifted nervously while his daughter fought the fish. Three long runs and several jumps later, the fish began to tire.

Kathy cautioned Ami to pay attention to what she was doing until the fish was tagged. Jenny stood ready with the tag pole, waiting for her opportunity to attach the tag to the fish. Kim and Sally worked as a team with Kim grabbing the leader when it was visible. Sally reached over the gunwale, grabbing the fish's bill when she could. Jenny got the tag into the fish while Ami stood staring down at it. The girls managed to get the fish through the transom door and remove the hook.

Jack and Brad came down from the flying bridge to hold the fish while Tom took several pictures of Ami next to it. Vince managed to get into one of the shots before the fish was revived and released.

For the next five hours, the fishing was as good as it had ever been for the Lady Guinevere. Eddie had discovered they only hooked fish when the boat was on a north troll so each time they caught a sailfish, they pulled the lines turned around and headed south so they could re-fish the same area. Each time they made the run, the fish were caught further north.

When the day started, the seas were fairly flat, but as time went on, the waves slowly built. Three-foot seas weren't unusual, and because of the action, it didn't bother any of the crew.

"This is amazing. That last fish makes twelve tagged so far today," Vince said as he glanced at his sheet.

"Yeah, and we only lost two," Eddie said. "That last one wasn't really hooked and the other one was foul hooked. Sometimes sails slap at the lure and get hooked someplace other than the mouth."

"You only lose twenty five points for a lost fish. I don't think it will hurt you guys," Vince said.

Ami was still giddy from catching fish. She repeatedly asked her father if he saw her catch the two fish she had successfully fought. Vince assured her he had watched every moment of her battles.

While they talked, another fish took after one of the teasers. Jack grabbed one of the rods and began to let the lure back toward the fish. Tom pulled the teaser and the sail took the bait. The moment Jack hooked up, another fish rose from the depths. Brad fed the lure to the fish while Eddie pulled the teaser in. The fish hit and Jack and Brad were fighting a rare double.

Jenny stood with her back to the helm, expertly steering the boat. She moved port and starboard, following instructions from the cockpit below. The fish Jack was fighting kept making reel-screaming runs. He would gain line only to have the fish rip it back off the reel. The fish Brad was fighting wasn't nearly as aggressive. Brad was able to bring the sailfish along side the boat so Tom could tag and release it.

Twenty minutes later, Jack won the battle with the sailfish. The fish was the largest of the day as well as having put up the best fight. Eddie tagged the fish before removed the hook. Because of the extended fight, it took a little longer to revive the fish before it was released.

Jack, exhausted from the fight, leaned against the gunwale, rubbing his arms. "My arms feel like they're on fire," Jack told Brad.

"I know how you feel. It's great isn't it?" Brad chuckled. "I live for this kind of fishing."

While Jack regained his composure, Eddie and Tom started getting ready for the run south so they could repeat the troll that had been so successful for them.

Jenny and the other girls talked about the last fish and the fact they had managed to land a double. She had turned around, facing forward as she slowly began her turn. Glancing at the radar, Jenny gasped. She looked at the screen, studying it carefully before she screamed, "STORM!"

Chapter 13


Eddie scrambled up to the flying bridge. Looking over his sister's shoulder, he said, "Holy shit, where did that come from?"

"I don't know, but its coming fast." Jenny turned up the radio, turning it to the weather channel.

"Okay, let's got going," Eddie said. "Do you want me to take the helm?"

"No, I've got it for now. You can get things ready," Jenny replied as she set a course for the inlet.

"Brad, Kathy, you know the drill," Eddie shouted.

Eddie, Brad, Kathy, and Jenny all knew the drill. They had practiced it many times so it would be second nature if they ever needed it. Kathy came up to the flying bridge, lifted the cushion of one of the bench seats and began pulling out the personal floatation devices. Once she had hers on, she helped Jenny with hers. Eddie donned his PFD before grabbing some for the others. Kathy passed out vests to Kim, Sally, and Ami, making sure they put them on properly.

Sally and Kim asked if they could help. They had experienced a storm before on Lake Michigan and knew keeping calm was very important. Kathy pointed at Ami. Sally went over to the frightened, crying girl and tried to comfort her. Sally told Ami to sit with her as she put her arm around her shoulder.

In the cockpit, Eddie gave PFDs to Jack, Tom, and Vince. He began barking out orders, telling Jack and Tom to get the outriggers up and secured. Vince stood back, watching them work.

The wind was coming up fast, causing the boat to roll and surge in the rising waves. Brad helped Kim, Sally and Ami down from the flying bridge, telling them to go into the cabin and make sure everything was secure. Brad asked Vince to help them.

Once the cockpit was taken care of and the tackle was stowed so it wouldn't present unneeded danger to the crew, Brad, Tom and Jack went up to the flying bridge. Eddie took the helm from Jenny, asking her to make sure everything was okay in the cabin.

Brad told Jack and Tom to help him with the side-curtains. The three of them put up the clear plastic panels while Eddie controlled the boat on the worsening conditions. The rain started pelting the plastic windows.

"Where the hell did this storm come from? I thought that tropical depression was supposed to head west, into the Gulf," Brad said.

"I guess it had a mind of its own," Eddie replied. "When I checked the weather this morning, it looked like it wasn't even going to develop into a storm. The weather service said the depression was tracking northwest."

"Why didn't we know sooner?" Jack asked.

"It was a mistake on our part, Jack. We didn't pay attention to the weather channel on the radio. Our radar only has a twelve-mile range so the storm was close when Jenny noticed it."

"Have you thought about a different unit? One with a longer range?" Jack asked.

"Yes, we've talked about it. Normally it isn't an issue because we're a lot more attentive than we were today. It shows you what can happen if you get too caught up in what's going on in the boat and don't keep an eye on the things you should."

Eddie adjusted the trim-tabs, raising the bow a few degrees. The seas had swelled and they were driving into six-foot waves. Eddie had the boat trimmed so it didn't slam too hard as he made headway. Vince came up to the flying bridge, getting soaked by the heavy rains on the way.

"I hope you don't mind if I join you. Not being able to see is driving me nuts," Vince said.

"No problem. How are the girls?" Eddie asked.

"They're fine. Ami is scared spitless, but Sally is taking care of her. I have to tell you that I'm very impressed by the way all of you responded to the weather. I don't think I could have remained as focused as you guys did," Vince said.

"We have practiced our emergency procedures," Brad said. "We know what to do in case of weather, fire, man overboard and loss of power. It doesn't make sense to try to figure it out when you really need it."

"I think a lot of owners could take a lesson from you guys. You should put on a program at one of the fishing club meetings."

"Maybe we will; that's a great idea. We could make a video of what we do and show it at the meeting," Eddie said.

Down in the cabin, the girls sat on the settees. Sally still had her arm around Ami's shoulders. They talked about the storm and how rough the ride was. Kim related the time on Lake Michigan when they encountered a storm in Jack's small boat. She told the group about spending the night in a cove in the very tight quarters.

"I'm not feeling very well," Ami said.

"Want to get some fresh air?" Sally asked. "It will make you feel better."

Ami agreed. The two of them went out to the cockpit and stood against the bulkhead to the cabin.

"Don't watch the water, Ami. Keep your eyes open, but watch the horizon," Sally said.

"Okay. I'm sorry, you're getting all wet."

"Don't worry about it. I've been wet before. We can toss our clothes in the dryer later."

The wind whipped the rain around in the cockpit. Sally and Ami stood next to one another, getting soaked to their skin. When Ami said she was going to be sick, Sally helped her to the gunwale, holding her as she leaned over the rail. Ami lost her breakfast as Sally stood next to her, gripping her long hair behind her head. After a few minutes, Ami straightened up and began to cry.

"I'm sorry. I've never been seasick before."

"It happens. It's nothing to get all upset about. Want to go stand by the cabin again?"

Ami nodded. The two of them went back to the bulkhead, leaning against it for support. Sally opened the door to the cabin and asked for a bottle of water. A moment later, Jenny came out, handing the water to Ami. After Ami took the water, Jenny went up to the flying bridge to see how far they were from the inlet.

"We're about seven miles out, Jenny. Look at the radar. I think this is just a cell, not the tropical storm that we thought it was. I think we're going to pass through it before we get back," Eddie said.

Jenny turned to Vince. "Ami is feeling a little queasy, but she's okay. Sally is taking care of her."

"Should I go down?"

"You can if you want. I think she is doing fine now—I gave her some water."

"She has never been seasick before, but she has never been in rough water like this either."

"A lot of people feel ill when the seas are this rough, people that have never been sick on a boat before. I just hope it doesn't make her want to stop fishing. I think she had fun today."

"That's an understatement! I don't remember the last time Ami was as excited as she was today. I think the thought of catching another sailfish will outweigh her fear of being seasick. I can always get her some of that medicine from the drugstore if she thinks it would help." Vince laughed and then said, "This may be the most expensive fishing trip I've ever been on. This makes me want to look for a boat."

"I think Ami would like that," Brad said.

"That's the only reason I would consider it. It would give us time together. When her little brother is older, he could fish too. Do your parents go out with you guys?" Vince asked.

"Sure, all the time. They don't fish the tournaments with us, but they do come out. We have taken trips together to the Bahamas and other places," Jenny said. "Does Mrs. Rogers like fishing and boating?"

"My wife was killed in an auto accident three years ago."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know," Jenny said softly.

"It's okay, thanks. My wife liked the water. I know she's smiling today, watching Ami having so much fun."

Everyone was silent for a few moments. The teens felt uneasy—Vince sighed in grief. He missed his wife and became melancholy whenever he though about the things they missed doing together. He wished his wife could have been with him and Ami today to share the joy.

"Ami hasn't really gotten over her mom's death—neither have I. I think it's one of the things that contribute to her being so withdrawn. It's hard for her right now. She needs a woman to talk to about—you know. My sister is helping, but I guess it isn't the same. Her brother was too young to realize what happened. He was only ten when she died. Ami was twelve."

The wind began to subside, but the rain continued. In the cockpit, Ami and Sally stood together. Ami was starting to feel better, telling Sally she wasn't as nauseous as she was earlier. Sally asked if she wanted to go inside, but Ami said she didn't think so.

Glancing at her chest, Sally began to giggle. "The cold makes my nipples stick out."

Ami looked at Sally and then at her own breasts. She giggled too when she noticed the small bumps on her chest.

"I should have worn white underwear," Ami said.

"I think the pink looks cute," Sally replied.

The two girls' clothing was so wet their bra and panties could be seen against the white shorts and tops they wore.

"My aunt bought them for me," Ami said. "She helps me shop now. My mom is dead."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Ami."

"Thank you. A drunk driver killed her three years ago. I really miss my mom. I try to be strong for Dad, but it's so hard sometimes."

"Can you talk to your aunt?"

"Yeah, she's really cool. She tells me about boys and stuff. She's more like a sister than an aunt. She is eight years younger than Dad. Aunt Stephanie says she was a surprise."

"Does she live close to you?" Sally asked.

"She lives with us. Aunt Stephanie has never been married. She moved in right after Mom died to help Dad and has been there since. It's nice having someone like her around."

Sally didn't know what to say to Ami. She put her arm around the girl's shoulders, holding her firmly. Ami looked at Sally and smiled.

Vince felt like he was neglecting his daughter so he went down to the cockpit to check on her. When Ami saw her dad, she quickly crossed her arms over her chest. Vince shook his head, chuckling to himself. He went to Ami, stood next to her, and then put his arm around her waist.

"You feeling better, Honey? I heard you were a bit seasick."

"I'm okay now, embarrassed, but okay. I'm kind of wet too," Ami said with a giggle.

"I can see you are."

"Aunt Stephanie bought them, Dad. You're not mad, are you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"My undies!"

"Why would I be mad? Besides, I can't see your underwear. Are you sure you're okay?"

Ami blushed, burying her head against her father's chest. He rubbed her back, chuckling to himself. Teenage girls were not his forte. He was much more comfortable dealing with the men and women that worked for him in his position as a manager for an assisted living corporation. He was in charge of fifty-five facilities in Florida.

"Yes, I'm okay. I'm just feeling a little goofy—that's all. This has been a great day, seasickness and all."

"You liked the fishing?"

Looking up, Ami said, "The fishing was fun, but spending the day with you was even better. We don't get to do it very often."

It was all Vince could do to keep the lump in his throat down. He blinked his eyes, pressing the tears out the corners. His arm tightened around Ami's waist and then he hugged her with both arms. The rain was still coming down, soaking him along with Ami. He didn't care about getting wet. Ami hugged him back, feeling safe in his strong arms.

"We're going to do more together, Honey—I promise. This day has been great for me too."

Sally began to move away, leaving Vince and Ami alone together. She smiled as she made her way up to the flying bridge to see how Jack was doing. Sally went over to where Jack was sitting, plopped onto his lap, and gave him a kiss.

"I love you, Baby," Sally whispered into his ear.

Sally snuggled against Jack, feeling his arms go around her. She thought about Ami. Sally also thought about herself and how lucky she was to have a family that loved her like they did. She thought about Jack and his love for her too. It wasn't easy for Sally to see things through Ami's eyes, having always been close with both of her parents. She couldn't imagine how it would be to lose her mother or father. The thought saddened her, making her wish there was something she could do. Jack felt Sally shudder in his arms. He kissed her head, rubbing her back because he thought she was chilled.

Wiggling in his lap, Sally sighed. The feeling she was enjoying was what she had been seeking for a long time. She felt like she was being taken care of, taken care of by her lover. Jack hadn't made any demands of her as of yet, but she would do whatever he wanted. She giggled when she thought about that morning when he told her he wanted her to look in his eyes when she gave him a blowjob. Sally would have done it because he asked, but the fact he wanted her to see his pleasure made it all that much better.

Jack was talking with Brad, but Sally didn't hear what they were saying. Her thoughts filled her mind, blocking out everything around her.

"Is Ami okay?" Jack asked, repeating himself because Sally didn't respond the first time he asked.

"Um, oh, yeah, she's fine. She's with her dad."

"Did you know her mom was killed in an accident?" Jack asked.

"Yes, she told me. That had to be very hard on her—I think it still is."

"I'm sure it is. Maybe you should go down and make sure she has anything she needs. I'm sure she's as wet as you are and could use some dry clothing."

Sally nodded, kissed Jack, and got up. Glancing down, she saw his wet shorts, wet from her sitting on his lap. Leaning over, Sally said, "Sorry about your shorts."

Jack chuckled. He shook his head, gave Sally a pat on her bottom, and told her to check on Ami. She giggled and went down to the cockpit.

Ami and her dad were still standing in the rain. They were talking about the trip and the fun they had despite the bad weather.

"We're almost to the inlet," Sally said, interrupting Ami and her father. "We should get our clothes in the dryer."

Vince told his daughter to go with Sally, letting her know they would talk later. Ami and Sally went into the cabin, making their way to the staterooms below. Jenny and Kathy asked how she was feeling, both of them smiling when Ami told them she was much better.

When they reached the hatches that hid the washer and dryer in the passageway, Sally opened them. She began to undress, tossing her wet clothes into the dryer. Sally noticed Ami seemed nervous and smiled.

"I think there's a big towel in the head. You can use it until your things are dry," Sally said.

"Thank you, Sally." Ami blushed and went into the head.

When she came out of the head with her wet clothes, Ami saw Sally standing near the dryer. Sally was naked, causing Ami to blush again. Timidly, Ami handed her things to Sally, trying to divert her eyes. Taking the wet clothes, Sally tossed them into the dryer, turning it on before she went to the master stateroom. Sally pulled her jersey over her head, covering her naked body.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you. We don't really think about being modest around here."

"I'm just not used to it. Do all of you run around like that—you know, naked?"

Sally giggled as she nodded.

"Oh my God, even if front of the boys? In front of your brother?"

"Yeah, sometimes," Sally replied, trying to downplay the activity.

"I could never do that!"

Sally giggled. "Um, you kind of get used to it. My brother and Jack caught Kim and I naked once. It really upset me at first, but not anymore."

Ami nodded, but she didn't really understand. She was self-conscious about her body, unsure of her budding sexuality. She had never had a boyfriend, shying away whenever a boy talked to her. While her aunt talked about the joys of dating, her father warned her about the pitfalls. All of the conflicting information only served to deepen her confusion.

"What's it like—I mean dating a boy?"

"It's fun as long as the guy is nice. I went out with a real jerk before and hated it."

"How do you know?"

"The trouble is you don't, not really. Some guys can act all sweet and everything, but they just want to have sex. If you're careful, you'll do okay."

"My dad won't let me date, not yet. It doesn't really matter because guys don't pay any attention to me."

"Sure they do. You're cute and I'll bet guys would really like to be with you."

"Boys make me nervous. When they talk to me, I get all squirmy inside. It's like I can't talk."

"You'll be fine, when you're ready. You don't need to have a boyfriend just because your friends do. You should never do anything just because someone else does."

Ami smiled. She thought about what Sally was telling her. Sally was thinking too. She thought about her willingness to be completely submissive where Jack was concerned. Smiling, she felt okay with it because it was her choice and she wasn't doing it for anyone but her.

Sally felt the boat slowing. She went up to the cabin, looked out the window, and realized they were in the inlet. Going back down to Ami, Sally took the things out of the dryer. The clothes were still damp, but not so damp they couldn't be worn.

Kathy came below, stopping to chat with Sally and Ami on her way to the head.

"I should put my clothes on," Ami said, taking her things from Sally.

"No, you should put the shirt and shorts back on so everyone at the meeting will know you fished on the Lady Guinevere," Kathy said as she went into the head.

"Really?" Ami said.

"I guess so. She's the boss. You can change first if you want," Sally said.

Giggling, Ami pulled the towel off. She tossed into a basket in the laundry locker and headed for the master stateroom. Sally grinned, following her. Once they were dressed, the two girls went to the head to try to fix their hair. They brushed and used a blow dryer, but ended up pulling their hair into ponytails.

Back in the cabin, they sat with the other girls. Jenny told them she thought they would make the meeting in time. She said that the club might allow a little extra time because of the unforeseen weather.

Eddie backed into the slip while Brad and Jack stood ready to tie the boat to the pilings. Once the boat was secure, the group headed for the meeting. Some of the boats had already arrived, but others were still out. Jenny talked to the port captain, asking if he had heard from the missing boats.

"Yes, everyone is accounted for. That storm was a real surprise, wasn't it?" the port captain said.

"Caught us off guard. We were out on the reef about twelve miles north," Jenny said. "I think we should have a grace period today because of the storm. What do you think?"

"I agree. How about thirty minutes?"

"That should be enough time. You need to announce it on the radio so the boats that are on the way in don't try to rush."

Jenny went to the table where the others in the group had sat down. She joined them, telling everyone about the grace period for the boats still out.

"Why don't we get something to eat? We missed lunch today," Kathy said. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm starved."

"Me too. Come on, Tom and I will buy today," Jack said. "Where are Ami and Vince?"

The teens looked around. Sally spotted Ami, pointing at her across the room. Getting up, Sally went over to where Ami and her father were talking to a woman and a teenage boy.

"Hi, Sally. This is my Aunt Stephanie and my brother, Walt. This is Sally, the girl I was telling you about," Ami said.

Stephanie shook Sally's hand while Walt nodded. "It sounds like you guys had quite a day," Stephanie said. "Ami was telling us about the fishing and the storm."

"It was a great day. The storm wasn't that bad, not really. Eddie and Jenny were really cool and took care of everyone," Sally said. "We're going to get something to eat. Please join us."

"We don't want to impose," Vince said.

"You won't be. Ami is part of the team today so she has to come. We'd like the rest of you to have lunch with us too," Sally said.

The family agreed, following Sally to the table. Ami introduced her aunt and brother to the group before they went to the concession stand to get something to eat. Jack waited for everyone else to order before he asked for two hotdogs, a bag of chips, and a soda. He paid for the food while Vince tried to take care of the bill.

Back at the table, the group ate their lunch and talked about the trip. Ami chattered about the fish she caught and how she got sick. Walt asked Eddie questions, including if he could go fishing someday too.

"How did we do today?" Tom asked. "With all the excitement, I lost count."

Vince took out the score sheet. "Well, you caught and released fourteen sails at a hundred points each. That's fourteen hundred points. In addition, you get one hundred forty points for using circle hooks. With the fifty penalty points for the break-offs, you have fourteen hundred ninety points. Not a bad day."

Jenny looked at the sheet, recalculated the score, and then signed it. She gave it back to Vince so he could sign it too. While they were finishing their lunch, Lee Hillsdale came to the table.

"Hi, guys, do any good today?" Lee asked.

"Yeah, we did okay. We went fourteen for sixteen," Eddie replied.

Chuckling, Lee said, "We went twenty for twenty one. Maybe you'll get second place this time."

"Good job, glad you guys found the fish today," Eddie said, not bothering to mention their fish were sailfish. "Have any trouble with the storm?"

"Not really, we weren't that far from port. We got in safely. I see you guys did too."

"Yeah, it was a rough go for a bit, but we did fine," Brad said.

Lee was chuckling when he left the table. Once he was out of earshot, Ami said, "I guess he beat us, huh?"

"I don't think so," Jenny said. "At the meeting he said he was fishing for dolphin and wahoo. The most points he can have is eleven hundred seventy five and that's if he used circle hooks."

The port captain took the stage, announcing that all the boats had made it back safely and within the grace period. He asked for the score sheets, collecting them as the observers brought them to the table next to the podium. Two of the adult members began sorting them according the scores. While the score sheets were being arranged, the port captain talked about the storm.

The port captain took the sheets, placing them on the podium. He said that all twelve of the boats that entered the tournament had caught fish. Starting with the lowest score, he began reading the name of the boat, followed by the points earned.

Because the youth tournaments didn't have the turnout the regular club outings had, only the top five boats were given awards. When the port captain announced Lee Hillsdale's boat as the second place winner, Lee looked over at Eddie's crew. Jenny smiled at him when he held his hands apart, indicating the bill of a sailfish. Giggling, Jenny nodded. Lee shook his head and went to the stage with his crew.

"Once again Lady Guinevere is our first place boat. Jenny, will you and your crew please come up?"

The teens stood up to the applause of the crowd. When Ami stayed in her seat, Kathy took her hand, pulling her to her feet. On stage, Jenny introduced the crew, including Ami.

When asked how they did so well, Jenny said, "We did what we always do. We followed our own program. While we knew it would be easier to catch dolphin and wahoo, we decided to go after sailfish. As it turns out, we had the best day of fishing for sails we've ever had. We found a large school following the Gulfstream north and stayed on them."

A few of the other fishermen asked questions about the decision to fish for sailfish rather than the easier fish. Eddie took the podium to answer.

"We were taught by our good friend and mentor, Nate, to do what we felt was best and not to follow the crowd. Most of the time it pays off for us. We knew we could always run in and fish for dolphin and wahoo if we couldn't find the sailfish."

"What were you using today?" someone asked.

"We used teasers to raise the fish and then hooked lures. We usually use artificial lures, but not always. We also change the hooks to circle hooks. Not because of the points as much as because they are easier on the fish."

After a few more questions, the port captain presented the first place trophy. Ami's dad took pictures of the group before they went back to the table. Back at the table, Ami's family took turns looking at the tall trophy. Jenny told her they would have a plaque made with the names of everyone that fished, including hers.

Several of the other members stopped at the table to congratulate the group. When Lee Hillsdale stopped by, he was laughing.

"Fourteen, huh? You didn't say they were sails," Lee said.

"Sorry, but you didn't ask. You and your crew did great too. You had five hundred points more than third place," Eddie said.

"One of these days I'm going to beat you guys—you know that don't you. Next time, I'm going to fish for sails too."

"I'm sure you will, Lee."

Lee left the table. The meeting was breaking up and most of the other fishermen were leaving. Jenny said that she was tired and wanted to go back to the boat. After saying goodbye to Ami and her family, the group left.

Back at the boat, the group relaxed in the salon. When Jack asked about cleaning the boat, Eddie got up.

"I guess we should get it taken care of. If the salt gets too dry, it's a bear to get off," Eddie said.

The four guys went out and began cleaning the boat. They scrubbed the surfaces as well as the clear plastic curtains. An hour later, they returned to the cabin. The girls had changed their clothes and were sprawled on the settees and deck. Jack and Tom went below to change and get their things. While they wanted to stay, they felt they should go meet up with their parents.

Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim agreed to call the others the next day to see what was going on. They all said goodbye to one another and then left. On the way to the hotel, Jack drove.

Back in their room, Kim called her mom's cell phone. After chatting for a few minutes, she handed the phone to Sally so she could talk to her mom.

"They moved Jeri and April into the apartment today," Kim said. "Mom said they were going to relax at their hotel. She said we could come over or see them tomorrow."

"I think we should take showers and a nap. We can see how we feel after we've rested," Jack said.

It didn't take long for them to take their showers and fall asleep. Jack and Sally hugged and kissed while Tom and Kim were in the bathroom, having showered first. By the time Kim and Tom were finished in the bathroom, Jack and Sally were sound asleep. As soon as Tom and Kim snuggled together under the crisp sheets, they fell asleep too.

-------

"That was Kim," Marge said. "She sounded exhausted. They won the tournament today and were caught in the storm. Everyone is fine though."

"Sally said they had a good time," Anne added. "I don't really think we'll see them tonight. Sally said they were going to take a nap. She told me they got up at four thirty this morning."

"I think you may be right. They'll probably sleep through the night," Marc said.

"Jeri and April seemed pleased to be in their new apartment," Don said. "I didn't know they were going to move in today."

"Neither did they. We sort of pushed them," Marge said. "I'm feeling it now."

"Me too," Joanne said. "I've been thinking about the whirlpool tub in our room. Maybe after we have dinner, I'll take a nice hot bath."

"Did the pool service say when they would take care of the swimming pool at the house?" Anne asked.

"Yes, they said they could start tomorrow. They're going to come once a week to keep it clean and make sure the chemical hoppers are full. I told Jeri and April they were welcome to use it," Marc said.

"Jo, I want you to get together with the kids, Jeri and April before we go back to Michigan. I want Gunter to get started on the new building as soon as he can so we don't have a bunch of workers at the house all summer. I think I understand what they want. I just don't know how big the building has to be," Don said.

Joanne took out a drawing of the backyard. She pointed at it as she began telling Don and the others her ideas.

"If we put the new building here, you can use it for entertaining too. There is no sense in building a single use building—is there?" Joanne said.

"No, not really. I like the idea of having a bar by the pool; it will cut down on the traffic in and out of the house," Don said. "What do you guys think?"

"I agree. I also like the idea of having the outside bar, but would add a nice grill area too," Marc said. "Maybe we should have it built on the same side of the yard as the cabana."

Joanne stared at the drawing. She sketched the building in, using a pencil so she could make changes. "It could work that way. It would be a little less expensive because the utilities are already in the cabana. The covered area could wrap around three sides of the building so it would provide a large shaded area."

Joanne made a few modifications to her sketch. "Do you know if Gunter has an architect he uses?"

"No, but you can ask him on Monday, Jo. I'm sure he will be able to recommend someone. From our conversation today, he seems to know a lot of people in the area," Don said.

"I recommend you treat the building as part of the charter business," Sam said. "We can get some tax breaks if we do. We may be able to amortize the entire cost as well as the upkeep. If you keep a house in Michigan, we can write off even more. The Michigan house will be your primary residence and the house down here will be for business purposes."

"Can we get away with that?" Marc asked.

"We won't be able to write everything off, but enough to make it worthwhile. We just have to be able to prove the property's main use is for the charter business. Having the yacht docked at the house helps."

"Just don't do anything that will put us in jail," Marge said.

Sam chuckled and said, "We won't do anything illegal, Marge. There are things you can take advantage of because of your wealth. There's no reason not to take full advantage of the tax breaks."

Jerry laughed. "They make them; we use them. Don't worry about doing anything wrong; nobody wants to have to deal with the IRS, especially me."

"You know we trust you and Sam. As our advisors, and as our friends. We know you'll look out for us," Don said.

"What would you guys like to do for dinner tonight? I'm not starved yet, but I know I'll be hungry before too much longer," Liz said.

"We could order room service tonight. Maybe some shrimp cocktail, cheese, vegetables and things like that. I don't want to eat anything too heavy after the late lunch we had," Anne said. "In fact, a swim sounds good to me."

The group talked for a few moments before they all decided a trip to the hotel's pool sounded like a good idea. Sam, Liz, Jerry, and Joanne went to their suite to change into their suits, agreeing to meet back in Don's room when they finished.

"Honey, I haven't really had a chance to talk to you about Sally. Jack and I had a nice chat the other day. He wanted to tell me he was in love with Sally and that she was in love with him."

"I'm fine with that, Anne. You know how I feel about Jack. Sally could do a lot worse; in fact, she has."

"That wasn't the only thing he wanted to talk about. He wanted to know how to handle the fact Sally is submissive. She has given herself to him—completely from what Jack said to me."

"What did you tell him?"

"I told him that it was okay and not to worry about it. When he found out I suspected Sally was that way, he seemed to feel better about it. I know Jack would never do anything to hurt her."

Marc smiled. "Do you think he's strong enough?"

"I'm not sure, not yet anyway. I hope so. I don't want Sally to go looking for someone else, someone that will take advantage of her."

"Do you think Jack knows about us or his dad and mom?"

"No, he didn't lead me to believe he knows anything about it. I don't think it will take long for him to catch on though. I don't think Kim will be like her mother and me. I don't think Tom will be like you, but there is a good chance he will."

"If Jack's like his dad, it wouldn't be bad. Don has always been fair and never done a thing that would hurt our families. We all made our choices a long time ago. If fact, we weren't much older than Jack is now."

"You and my brother were about the same age. Marge and I were younger if you remember." Anne chuckled. "We're not as old as you two."

Anne hugged Marc, pressing against his body. He kissed the top of her head and then her lips when she looked up.

"History repeats itself, doesn't it?" Marc whispered. "Have you talked to Don and Marge yet?"

"I mentioned it to Marge, but not to Don, not yet. I wanted to talk to you first. No matter what our arrangement is, you are still my husband. I love you and wouldn't do anything behind your back. You know that, don't you?"

"I think we should have a family meeting. I want everything out in the open."

"With the kids?"

"No, not yet. It should be the four of us first. We'll let Don decide when to talk to the kids."

Anne and Marc finished changing into their suits. They went out to the living room of the suite, finding Don and Marge waiting for them. A moment later, Sam, Joanne, Jerry, and Liz came into the room. All of them were wearing the terrycloth robes the hotel provided as they went to the pool. It was warm, even after the storm, so they decided to go to the outdoor pool. The women sat on lounges while the men went to get drinks for everyone.

Don and Marc lagged behind Sam and Jerry on the way back to the lounged. Before they got to the chairs, Marc said, "Sally has given herself to Jack."

Nodding, Don said, "We can talk about it later. Thanks for letting me know."

The group spent an hour at the pool. They sipped their drinks and went for a swim. While they were in the pool, Don paid a lot of attention to Joanne. He talked to her about the things she had in mind for the Florida house as well as the house in Michigan. Whenever Sam came close, he stopped to listen for a moment, swimming away when he heard what they were talking about.

"I hope you will have time to work on your new house," Don said. "If fact, I want you to make sure you do. I think Anne and Marc are going to move sooner that we thought. I'll take care of it when we get home."

"Really? Oh thank you, Don. You don't know how happy it makes me. I know Sam will be just as excited."

"You two deserve to be happy, Jo. I'm just glad I'm in a position to help."

Joanne smiled at Don. "Just tell me if there is anything I can do for you—okay?"

"I will. Now go have some fun. I think Sam is wondering what we're up to."

"Sam's fine. Thanks for everything."

Joanne flashed a smile before she turned around to find her husband. When she saw Sam talking with Liz, she swam over to him. Don watched as Joanne hugged Sam and talked to him. He couldn't hear, but was fairly sure she was telling him about the house.

Marge and Anne had been watching from the lounges. They grinned at one another and then Anne said, "I think Don is recruiting Jo."

"Wouldn't surprise me if he was. It wouldn't surprise me if he succeeds either," Marge said.

"I don't think I'll ever understand what it is about Don that makes me feel the way I do," Marge said. "I love the man with all my heart and will do anything for him, but sometimes I'll be damned if I know why."

"I can remember the day like it was yesterday, Marge. We were in that small motel in Kentucky. It was the morning after we had slept with Don and Marc for the first time. I mean sleep all night in the same bed with them. When we woke up, the four of us made love again.

"You and I were scared about what was going to happen. We were pregnant, about to be married and didn't know where we were going. Don asked if we trusted him. We said we did, even Marc did. He told us he would take care of us and make sure nothing bad ever happened."

Marge nodded. "I remember. He said if we did what he told us to, he would make us his forever. We agreed and so far, he's been true to his word."

"Don never told us to do anything we really didn't want to do—did he? I mean we went through some weird times, but things always worked out. I often wonder if he had anything to do with the card games when we worked for Cid," Anne said.

Don and Marc came over to where their wives were sitting. They gave the two women fresh drinks before sitting next to them.

"Were you hitting on Joanne?" Marge asked Don.

"No, I was telling her what I wanted her to do about the houses, the one down here, and the one in Michigan. I want Marc and Anne to move in before we start redoing the recreation room. They can sleep in one of the guest rooms until their room is finished."

"Why do you want to do that, Don?" Anne asked.

"I want Joanne and Sam to have your house sooner than we originally talked about. Is there a problem with that?"

"No, of course not. I was just wondering why," Anne said.

"It's an incentive to motivate her to work faster on the Florida house. I'm learning to like it down here and want to be able to spend more time here. Besides that, once the yacht is delivered, the kids will have to be here more often. I don't want them to have to be alone."

"They can be trusted," Marc said.

"It isn't a question of trust. I trust them too. I just think that we should be closer when they start booking charters. I want to make sure no one tries to take advantage of them."

"You don't think Jeri or April would do that, do you, Honey?" Marge asked.

"No, I'm not worried about those two, but there will be a lot of other people with their hands out; people that might think they can take advantage of the kids because of their ages. Better safe than sorry. I've talked to Jerry; he is going to plan on being here for the startup too."

Sam, Joanne, Jerry, and Liz got out of the pool. They sat near the rest of their group, taking sips of their drinks. Don suggested they go up to their suite and order food. Everyone agreed, putting on their robes before leaving the pool area. In the suite Don, Marge, Marc and Anne were staying in, Don called room service to order several different appetizers. He took suggestions from the rest of the group while relaying the order into the telephone.

Marc made cocktails from the well-stocked mini bar, passing them out to the ones that wanted something. Sitting in the living room of the suite in their bathing suits, they chatted while waiting for the food.

Marge answered the door when she heard the knock. A young man came in, pushing a cart laden with their food. Marge gave the check to Don, returning it to the bellhop after Don signed it. They all gathered around the cart, placing their food on the small plates that were provided.

"This shrimp is great," Liz said. "So are the stuffed mushrooms."

"I like the oysters," Sam said and then he winked at Joanne. "I hear they help a man sexually."

"You don't need any help in that area, Sam," Joanne said with a giggle.

"True, but you never know, maybe I'll be even better."

Joanne grinned. She glanced at Don, winked and said, "You don't have to worry about me, Sweetie. If you get worn out, I have all of these handsome men to take care of me."

"Yup! If you wear us out, there are the girls," Don said with a throaty chuckle.

Joanne laughed. She faked a sultry southern accent and said, "Now Donald, what kind of girl do you think I am?"

"I think you're a very sexy girl, Jo. You certainly aren't the innocent little thing you were when we met. You've come a long way—I just hope you're enjoying the journey."

Joanne moved to her husband. She sat on his leg, putting one arm around his neck. After giving Sam a kiss, she said, "I'm having the time of my life—we both are. I never dreamed my dreams and fantasies would all come true. You have given me an opportunity to pursue my dream to be a decorator. All of you have shown Sam and me we can also explore our fantasies.

"I have learned so much in the past few months. Things that required me to completely change the way I think and the things I thought I believed in. Sex is no longer an obligation, it's a joy, and something I look forward to. I never realized intimacy could be so rewarding."

"Yes, you have come a long way, Jo. Both of you have. Speaking for myself, I have truly enjoyed watching as you bloomed into a sensual woman. I have enjoyed watching Sam learn that jealousy is a useless emotion that stunts personal growth. It isn't about sex you know. Sex is just a wonderful release that helps us cope with the day-to-day demands put on us by others and ourselves. Do you know what it is that allows us to do the things we do?" Don asked.

Joanne thought for a moment. Sam moved his hand over her side, letting it come to rest on Joanne's hip. He played with the tie on the bottoms of her bikini as he pondered Don's question.

"Trust," Joanne said as a statement, not a question.

"That's right. Its trust, and trust alone that lets anyone be free. We have to have complete trust in one another. While we have to have trust, we also have to be careful. Not everyone embraces our beliefs; not everyone can be trusted. Our family has friends that have no idea about what we do when we're alone. I never felt they would understand so we didn't try to invite them into our lifestyle.

"What we do permits us to forget the pressures and just enjoy—whether it's our spouse or another. All of us know where our true love lies and no one is trying to break anyone up. People have affairs to satisfy a need, a need they can't seem to fulfill at home. Women want to feel beautiful. Men want to feel virile. Everyone wants to feel appreciated and loved. It's easy to fall into a trap.

"It's easy to go through life in a fog and let our routines become mundane. So many people go through life like they are on a schedule, doing the same things at the same time on the same day. Marc, Anne, Marge, and I have always tried to keep our lives interesting—even when we didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. Money has never, and still isn't, the most important thing in our lives.

"Admittedly, having a few bucks makes things different, but our philosophy remains unchanged. We have always made our quest in life happiness, not money. In order to reach our goal, we have learned to trust unconditionally. We all have done whatever it took to provide for our families, our children."

Everyone in the room listened as Don spoke. Marc, Anne, and Marge knew they all had one voice, Don's. It had been that way for years. Before they married, before they had children, before they were wealthy. Don had been the protector, and as far as the families were concerned, he would remain in that position. He was the one that would give the rest of them hope when things looked grim. His sister, wife and brother in law, were steadfast in the complete trust they had in Don.

"When I learned you and Sam were planning to start a family, I was as happy as I could be. All of us feel privileged to be able to share in your joy. Having children is a big step for anyone and mustn't be taken lightly. Jo, you and Sam will be solely responsible for your child when it is born. Our children are the future and we have to make sure the future is secure.

"All of us who have children have made mistakes in raising them. You two will make mistakes too. It's important to learn from your mistakes so you don't repeat them. Both of you are free to ask us about our mistakes and our successes. I have always believed a smart person learns from their mistakes, but a wise person learns from the mistakes of others. There is a wealth of knowledge in this room and we're all willing to share it with you.

"Most people wouldn't agree with Marge, Anne, Marc, and me about the way we've raised our children. We have tried to give them the tools they would need to exercise their free will. As parents, we have a very narrow window of time we can use to instill values in our children. We have to make sure they understand the difference between right and wrong. We have to teach them to respect the ideals and values of others and not to judge based on another's beliefs.

"Too many parents vow to raise their children differently than they were raised only to realize they have become their parents. Unfortunately, they often realize it when it's too late."

"I don't mean to interrupt, but I know Don is correct. Jerry and I are guilty of doing the wrong things when our children were small. Our son hasn't been home in years because we tried to be too controlling. Megan was fortunate enough to meet Kim, Sally, Tom, and Jack when she did. Through them, and their parents, Megan has changed from a shy withdrawn girl into a wonderful young lady. She carried around a burden for years, unable to feel comfortable enough to tell her father and me about it," Liz said.

"When we learned our daughter had been raped, it almost devastated Liz and me. When we learned she was skinny dipping with boys, I was close to reporting Don and the rest of the families to the police. It was Megan's insistence that made Liz and I look deeper and agree to meet Don, Marge, Marc, Anne, and their children. What we found blew us away," Jerry said.

Liz laughed. "Yeah, in more ways than one. Most importantly was the fact we learned about Megan. She told us about the rape and how Kim, Sally, Tom, Jack, and Dianne's children helped her discover herself—her inner strength. We found our daughter and will forever be indebted to them. We also found ourselves."

"Life is an evolution. It doesn't stand still. We have to take inventory often to make sure what we want isn't passing us by. As new people come into our lives, we have to change somewhat. We have to look things over, make choices as to where we're headed and then adjust. Those choices have to be made by everyone involved. When we brought Jo and Sam into our group, we all agreed they would be welcome.

"If you and Sam remember, no one made you do anything you didn't want to do," Don said.

"I know. You just let us know what we were capable of. You opened our eyes to new things, things we, or at least I, never knew I could consider, let alone enjoy. When I realized Sam wasn't going to hate me, but rather love me even more than he already did, I was able to let my hair down. Knowing that we, I, could always walk away made it easy too. The funny thing is I don't think either of us wants to go back to the way we were. I'm not referring to the sex, not entirely anyway," Joanne said.

Sam continued, "Jo and I have talked about what we are doing. We've talked for hours about starting a family. I have to admit it is a little scary. Raising children isn't something we want to go into with blinders on. We want our child or children to feel they can talk to us—just like your children can talk to you. We don't want them to feel ashamed of their bodies or fear their thoughts.

"We, Jo and I, know that it's not going to be easy, but what in life, that's worth having, is easy? Don, you talked about trust. I fully agree that trust is the most important part of any relationship. Without trust, Jo and I would be destined to the drudgery our marriage was suffering. Because we're learning to trust one another, we're learning we can talk openly without fear the other would take what was said the wrong way," Sam said.

"Trust has also taught me that I can love more than one person. While I love Sam as my husband, partner, and lover, I also love all of you. I can have sex with you guys, or I can make love with you. With Sam, there is something that can't be duplicated—something I feel deep inside that can't be equaled when I'm with someone else," Joanne said.

"As it should be, Jo. I don't think any of us want to have sex without some emotional connection. If it was just about getting off, we could do it ourselves, or any number of other ways. When I'm with someone, I want to know that person wants to be with me—it's human nature. Don't get me wrong, sometimes it's just raw sex, but there is always the knowledge that I have more in common with whoever it is than just sucking and fucking," Don said.

Marge chuckled. Don asked her what was amusing her and she said, "I was just thinking of the times you and I have had that raw hot sex you were talking about. Some of the best sex I've had is when you just take me." Marge grinned while winking at Don. "I just can't say no—not that I ever want to."

The group finished the food they'd ordered. They sat in the living room, drinking and chatting about some of the past experiences they had shared.

"There are several things that really stand out for me," Joanne said. "Giving Sam a blowjob for the first time is something I'll always remember. God was I a fool for waiting for so long. The first time I had sex with Liz is something that will have a special place in my mind."

"You said a few. That was only two," Sam said.

Joanne snuggled against Sam. She glanced at her husband, smiling. Joanne was about to apologize for what she was about to say, but decided not to. The things Don had said about trust were fresh in her mind, making her feel secure that Sam would understand.

"When we were in Florida the first time, I learned things about myself that surprised me. I found that I could be sensual and became opened minded to things that had always been foreign to me. While I struggled with the new feelings I was having, all of you supported me and guided me.

"I enjoyed things that I never knew I could. While the sex was great, that wasn't the thing that really made the difference. All of you accepted me for who and what I was. You helped me discover who I could be too. Without pushing, you let me explore things that were deep inside me, things I didn't know existed until you awakened them.

"One of the things that really made an impression was when we were in the pool playing and Sam tossed me to Don. Don tossed me back, touching my pussy when he did. The second time Don touched me, he touched me with much more than his hand and finger. It was at that point I felt connected to the group.

"It's still amazes me when I think about it. It was as if Don's finger plugged into my soul, freeing me of all of the misconceptions and insecurities I harbored for so long. When Sam wasn't mad at me, when he said everything was okay, I knew I could never look back.

"I know I've said it before, but I want to thank you again." Joanne looked into Don's eyes, but addressed the group. "I want to thank you for the opportunity to pursue my dream. I want to thank you for helping me break out of a shell that could have ultimately destroyed my marriage, or at the least, made my wonderful husband look for the things I wasn't willing to try outside our home.

"Don said life is a journey—he's right. My life is going to be a journey, a journey that includes discovery. The wonderful thing about the journey is that I'm not going alone. I have friends, friends who love me, who are going with me. Because I won't be alone, I can move forward without fear.

"Don, thank you for what you did that day. Thank you for seeing something in me I didn't see in myself. I thank all of you for that. I don't remember where I read it, but I remember a saying that goes something like, 'Let us love you until you learn to love yourself, ' and all of you have done that, you're still doing it. I'll forever be indebted for your love and understanding." Tears rolled down Joanne's cheeks as she finished. Sam tightened his grip around her, feeling her body heave with each breath.

No one said a word. Everyone felt the emotion of Joanne's confession. All of them knew how she felt, having experienced a similar transformation at some point in their lives. Liz knew better than any of them because it hadn't been that long since she had crossed into the bliss her surrender had given her.

Don got up, walking over to where Joanne was sitting on Sam's lap. He took her face between his hands, leaned over and kissed her tenderly. Joanne put her right hand over one of Don's, pressing it against her cheek.

"Joanne, welcome to our growing family. You know you can always talk to me, to any of us, whenever you feel the need." Don straightened up, looking down at Sam and Joanne. "Sam, I think it would be a good idea for you to take this beautiful woman to bed. I think she could use some time alone with you."

Sam smiled as he nodded. Joanne stood up, wrapped her arms around Don's neck, and kissed him. "Thank you, Don," she whispered. "I would really like to make love with you right now."

Don kissed Joanne's neck. "No, not tonight, you need to be with Sam."

Joanne nodded as she kissed Don again. She stepped back when his arms released her, reaching for Sam's hand. Together, they left the suite, going across the hall to their bedroom.

"I think Liz and I are going to go too," Jerry said. "We'll see you guys in the morning."

After hugs and kisses with their friends, Jerry and Liz left the room.

"Does anyone want another drink?" Don asked. "I think I'm going to have a nightcap."

Don fixed himself another cocktail. When Marge asked, he prepared one for her too. Marc fixed drinks for Anne and him before sitting on one of the couches next to his wife.

"That was an interesting evening, wasn't it?" Anne said.

"Yes, very interesting," Marge said. "It looks like you have another one under your spell, Don."

"I don't have anyone under a spell. What do you think I am, a warlock?" Don said sharply.

"No, but you do have a way about you and you know it," Anne said and then she grinned.

"Whatever. Look, I've been doing some thinking lately. I've been thinking about our children. The girls are going to be sixteen this summer and the boys will be eighteen. If you remember, we decided that when the girls were sixteen, we would talk to them about certain things." Don took sip of his drink.

"If you're talking about what I think you are, we haven't mentioned it in years, not since the girls were two or three," Marc said.

"I know, but that doesn't change anything, it has to be addressed. Kim and Sally are sexually active—we all know that. Sally has given herself to Jack, something I had expected for some time now. If I'm right, it won't be long before Kim gives herself to Tom. Even though the girls have only had limited experience, I feel they are wise beyond their years.

"Jack and Tom are going to have to step up to the plate. Those two boys are ready. I'm sure of it. While they may not know it, I know they're strong enough to take on the responsibility," Don said.

"I talked to Jack. He's a little confused right now, but I think he's beginning to understand his role. When we get back to Michigan, we'll know for sure," Anne said. "Sally has asked Jack if she could finish school instead of getting her GED. I really think Jack is going to let her. I think Jack is going to finish school too."

"Kim and Tom will probably do the same thing, won't they?" Marge said.

"Yes, they probably will. If we're right, they will follow Jack. He has clearly established himself as leader," Don said.

"Like father like son," Marc said. "When are we going to sit them down and tell them, Don?"

"Soon. I want to give it a little more thought. I feel we should tell them before the girls' birthdays so they have time to think about it. Do any of you have any misgivings about what we're about to do?" Don asked.

Marge, Anne, and Marc shook their heads.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll let you know when we're going to tell them. Right now, I'm tired and ready for bed." Don finished his drink, put the glass on the cart, and went over to Marge.

Leaning down, Don kissed Marge. He said, "I love you, Baby." Standing up, he took Anne's hand, pulled her to her feet, and led her to the bedroom.

"Looks like it's you and me tonight," Marc said to his sister.

Marge smiled, got up, and took Marc's hand. "Come on, let's get to bed. It's been a while, hasn't it?"

Chuckling, Marc said, "Yeah, a few days anyway."

In the bedroom, Marge removed her suit. She helped Marc remove his trunks before they got into bed. Snuggling together, they kissed each other with rising passion. Marc and Marge moved their hands over the other's body, twisting and turning on the bed.

Marge kissed her way down her brother's chest. Kneeling between Marc's legs, she looked up smiling. She stroked his firm penis, feeling it swell in her hand. Bending over, Marge maintained eye contact while she covered his penis with her mouth. She bobbed her head a few times, taking his member deep into her mouth.

Lifting her head, she grinned at Marc. "Who do you want me to be tonight? Kim or Sally?"

Chapter 14


Marc began rubbing his sister's head. He pulled her up, snuggling against her warm body. Kissing her tenderly, Marc ran his hand up and down Marge's back.

"I would prefer you were yourself. I like the role playing, but not tonight," Marc said.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. I just have a lot on my mind."

"About the kids?"

"Yes, it's about the kids."

"You're having a problem with what Don said, aren't you? Marc, all of us have talked about this before. You know we decided to include our children once the girls turned sixteen."

"I know, I know. Don't you think they should have a say in it?" Marc asked his sister.

"Of course they should—they will. Sally wants to be with you, Marc. Kim wants to be with her dad too."

"They may think that's what they want, but what if it really isn't? I can't stand the thought of hurting my little girl. The kids are very well adjusted amongst themselves. It's easy to see how they feel about each other. If we bring them into the folds of our lifestyle, things may change."

"How so?"

"If we go through with it, they will be our lovers and it will change our standing as parents."

"I see what you mean, but I think they're mature enough to separate the two—don't you?"

"Probably, but what if they're not? How can we be good parents if we're having sex with our children?"

"I'm going to talk to Don. Maybe we should put it off for a few years—until the girls are older," Marge said as she moved her hand to her brother's flaccid penis. She fondled him, feeling his grow in her hand. "I was kind of looking forward to having Jack in my bed, but the more I think about what you said, the more I know you're right. I hope I can make my husband see things the same way we do."

"Don wants the best for our families, Kid. I don't think he will find what we think unreasonable, do you?"

Marge kissed Marc tenderly, letting her lips linger against his. "Do you know how long it's been since you called me, Kid? I used to hate it when you did you know. After we started having sex, I loved to hear you say it. Not because I felt like a kid, because it was a name you only used with me."

Marc chuckled and said, "Like when I used to say, 'How about a blowjob, Kid?'"

"Yup!"

"How about a blowjob, Kid?"

"On one condition, you eat my pussy while I suck your cock," Marge said.

"It would be my pleasure—Kid."

Marge chuckled as she turned around, stretching out on her back next to her brother. Marc straddled her body, starting between her splayed legs. He dropped his head, licking her vulva. Marge reached for her brother's penis, pulling it into her mouth. Keeping her hand around his shaft, she began to rub him with her tongue, taking him deeper into her mouth. Marc's tongue worked against her clitoris, bring his sister closer to her first of many orgasms.

-------

In the next room, Don thrust into his sister's vagina. Anne held her legs, pulling them back and open for her brother's steady assault. They had been going at it for a half hour, both of them thoroughly enjoying the closeness of their coupled bodies.

Their lovemaking began with Anne riding Don, but they soon changed positions so he could take control of the sex. His heavy scrotum slapped against her bottom as he pushed deep in her heated vagina. Anne released one of her legs, put her hand behind Don's head and pulled his mouth to hers. After a long kiss, she let go so she could stare in her brother's eyes.

"I love it when you fuck me, Donny. We don't do it often enough anymore."

"We've been busy, Sis."

"Too busy to keep your little sister happy?"

"It isn't that and you know it, Anne. You know I love fucking you almost as much as I love fucking Marge."

"What about when the kids are involved? You won't have any time for me at all."

Don stopped moving, burying his member deep in her vagina. He put one hand on her cheek, stroking her damp flesh. "We'll have time, Baby. Once you and Marc move in with Marge and me, we'll have plenty of time to make love—all of us will."

Anne flexed her vaginal muscles, gripping Don's thick penis. She wiggled a little, relishing the feeling of being full.

"Do you think Jack will let Sally have sex with her dad?" Anne asked.

"I don't know—it's up to him."

"Kim will do what she wants you know. She isn't going to let Tom, or anyone else, tell her what to do. That girl is as headstrong as you are."

"That's my girl," Don said, pulling back and then thrusting back into his sister.

"I'll bet you can't wait to get your big cock in her tight little pussy, can you?" Anne asked. "I can't wait to get Tom's cock in me."

Don shrugged his shoulders. He began to move again, pumping his penis in and out of Anne's quivering vagina. She pushed up against his thrusts, letting out a muffled, "Yes" each time his body met hers.

Anne's body began to jerk beneath her brother's. She let out a throaty groan, announcing the onset of her climax. When her vagina began convulsing around his member, Don slammed into her as hard as he could. Anne started to have another orgasm as the first subsided. Don's penis swelled and he sent the first of several surges of semen into his sister.

Sated, Don and Anne snuggled together, his penis still in her vagina. Anne used her muscles to massage her brother's member as she kissed him. After a moment, she squirmed out from under him.

"Mmmm, I love sucking your cock after we fuck," Anne said as she moved down his sweaty body.

"You love sucking cock period," Don said, feeling his sister's mouth around his penis.

Anne sucked Don's member into her throat, using her tongue to gather the slick fluids that coated him. She moaned, her throat vibrating around his penis. Anne pulled her mouth off his member, kissing the tip.

"Yes, I love sucking cock—it's your fault you know. You're the one that made me love it so much." Anne returned her mouth to Don's penis, licking and kissing it.

"You didn't seem to mind doing it when we were kids," Don reminded her.

Rubbing his slick member against her cheek, Anne said, "I didn't like it when you gagged me! You used to get so turned on you shoved it down my throat."

"Yeah, but you learned to take it all—didn't you?"

Anne giggled as she winked at her brother. "I had to! It was in self-defense. I hated it when I felt like I was going to puke."

"You sure seemed to learn quick," Don said, chuckling as Anne took his semi hard cock all the way in. She rubbed her nose against his pubic hair, pulled off and grinned.

"Practice makes perfect! You sure didn't mind me practicing on you. Between you and Marc, I must have drunk a half gallon of cum." Anne giggled again. "I love every minute of it!"

Anne continued sucking and licking her brother's penis. It began to grow hard again, making her happy. Once Don's penis was firm again, Anne moved up. She covered his body with hers, wiggling her mons against his member.

"Are you going to sleep with me all night?" Anne asked.

"Yes."

"Are you going to fuck me again?"

Don reached between their bodies. Gripping his shaft, he aligned his penis with the opening to her vagina. Anne wiggled her body, feeling him enter her.

"I guess you are," Anne said.

-------

Don woke Anne the next morning. He took her into the bathroom, washing her in the shower. Anne washed Don, as they talked about the plans for the day. Once they finished, they went out into the living room of the suite. Marge and Marc were already up, drinking coffee at the table.

"Morning, Baby," Don said, leaning down to kiss his wife. "I hope you didn't get much sleep."

Marge laughed, shaking her head. "I hope you two didn't either."

"Your husband kept me up late," Anne said as she settled on Marc's legs. She kissed her husband. "I kept him up too!"

There was a knock on the door to the room. Don answered it, letting Sam, Liz, Joanne, and Jerry. After a brief greeting, the group began discussing the day ahead of them. Joanne said she wanted to go to the house to meet with the contractor that was going to get started on the guesthouse. Marge, Anne, and Liz agreed to go with Joanne while the four men went to the boatyard to talk to Harry.

The group ordered room service. After breakfast, they all headed out for the day. Joanne and the other women took the car while the men took the rented van.

At the new house, Joanne met with the contractor. Marge, Anne, and Liz stood by, listening to the conversation.

"The painting crew will be here tomorrow," Gunter said in his thick accent. "They will have the guesthouse painted in two days, three at the maximum."

"We're going to need an architect, Gunter. Do you know anyone?" Joanne asked.

"Yes, I know a couple of good architects. One that I work with all the time is very good, but a bit more expensive than the other. Gayle Killian is the one I like the best," Gunter said.

"We're not concerned on the cost as much as we are with the ability. If you feel Gayle is the best choice, we'll use her," Joanne said, looking to Marge and Anne for approval.

"I agree with Jo. We want it done correctly," Marge said. "How soon can we meet her?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Gunter took out his cell phone. He made a call, walking away to talk. When he returned, he said, "She'll be here in an hour. It seems she has a break in her schedule."

"If she's so good, why isn't she busy?" Joanne asked.

"She said she is waiting for different things on several different projects. An architect's work depends on many other people doing theirs. If the contractor, decorator, or any number of others falls behind, so does she."

Joanne nodded. "We want to build a building near the seawall. It will serve as storage for the yacht as well as an outside bar for the charter clients or Marge and Anne's guests. We want it to look like the cabana."

"How large a building do you want?" Gunter asked.

"I don't know yet. We'll know more after we talk to the architect—Gayle."

"Don mentioned something about having a pipe put in to fuel the yacht," Marge said. "Is that something you can take care of, Gunter?"

"Yes, Ma'am, it sure is. I will have to check with the city to see where we can put the input connector, but it shouldn't be a problem. I'd suggest we plan to put the hose reel in the new building you're planning. I'll cover it with Gayle," Gunter said.

"Thanks, that will be great. When will you start on the main house?" Joanne asked.

"Soon. I still need your information. Once you and Gayle are set, we can begin."

Joanne nodded; she knew it was up to her to get the ball rolling. All of her work was ready, but some of the work she was planning required permits—permits that would need architectural drawings to secure.

The four women sat near the pool, waiting for Gayle to arrive. When she did, Gunter introduced the young woman. Marge asked her to sit at the table so they could get started. Gunter sat with the women, making notes on a pad as they talked.

When Joanne got up to take Gayle down to the seawall to discuss the new building, the rest of the group followed. Joanne explained what they wanted, her hands animated as she described the building. Gayle started making suggestions while Gunter kept taking notes.

After an hour the group went back to the table. Joanne and Gayle began sketching while the others watched them work. Joanne showed Marge and Anne the drawing, smiling when they gave their approval.

"We'll have to show this to the kids and our husbands before we can go any further, but I think it's great," Marge said. "I really like the idea of having an apartment on the second floor."

"I'll get started on the drawings tonight," Gayle said. "I should have them ready for you to look at in a week."

Joanne talked with Gunter and Gayle for a few minutes. They agreed to get together the following weekend to review the plans as well as the progress on the guesthouse. Before they left, the pool service came into the backyard to begin getting the pool ready.

"This is all so exciting," Liz said as Marge drove away from the house. "I'm really enjoying seeing it happen."

"It is exciting," Marge said. "I can't wait until everything is finished so we can spend some time in the new house."

"Too bad it's going to be hot down here when the house is ready," Anne said.

"It won't be that hot, at least not outside," Marge said with a chuckle.

Marge drove to the boatyard to see what Don, Marc, and the rest of the group were up to. When they arrived, they found everyone on the yacht. April was down below with Kim and Sally. Tom and Jack were in the pilothouse with Jeri. Don, Marc, Jerry, and Sam were on the aft deck, talking with Harry and Jack Waters about the next time the teens would be down.

"Hi, Honey," Marge said as she walked over to Don. "We're all set with the house for now. Wait until you see what Jo and the architect have come up with for the new building."

"We were just talking about the next time the kids would have to come down here," Don said, giving his wife a kiss on the cheek.

"We'd like you guys to come to the house tonight," Harry said. "We can take care of any details then. Ellen and Sarah are planning a feast for all of us."

"We'd love to," Don said. "We're leaving the day after tomorrow and it will give us a nice chance to discuss things."

"Great, I'll call Ellen. She wanted me to confirm our plans for tonight. By the way, Jenny and Eddie have been talking about your kids since the tournament. I guess they all got along great," Harry told them.

"Brad and Kathy are talking about the next tournament," Jack said. "They can't wait until they can all go again."

"That boat must be getting a bit crowded with eight on it," Anne said.

"They're kids, they'll manage," Harry said. "I know Jack's and my kids are very comfortable in close quarters."

"Oh, ours are too, Harry," Marc said. "I'm sure you're right. They'll manage."

"I'm pleased the kids are getting along so well. It's nice knowing our children have friends down here," Don said.

"You know you can depend on Harry and me to watch out for your kids," Jack Waters said. "They can stay with us if it would make you feel better."

"Thanks, but I'm sure they'll be fine at the new house. Jeri and April have moved in so they'll be there. Gunter said the guest house will be ready to live in shortly," Marge said.

"Okay, but the offer still stands. I have to get to work. We're going to cover a hull I have in a shed so I can store it outdoors," Harry said.

"Mind if I watch?" Don asked.

"No, not at all, Don. Come with Jack and me—the rest of you guys are welcome to come along," Harry said.

"Thanks, but I think I'm going to see what Kim and Sally are doing," Marge said.

"The girls are down below with April," Jack Waters said.

Marge, Anne, and the other two women headed into the yacht. The men started for the shed to watch Harry and Jack Waters work on the boat. After Harry opened the large doors, the group went into the shed.

"What's the deal on this boat?" Don asked, looking at the long sleek hull.

"It was ordered by a guy that died. His family didn't want anything to do with it so now it's mine," Harry said and then he chuckled. "It seems like I keep ending up with yachts that aren't finished."

"Why don't you finish it so you can sell it?" Marc asked.

"My specialty is custom yachts. I might find someone that wants a seventy-five footer, but most of the interest is in larger yachts. Bowman built a good reputation as a builder of luxury yachts. Now we don't get many calls for anything under a hundred feet."

"Have you ever considered building production boats, you know, like Viking or the other top names?" Jerry asked.

"No, that's a very different business. Those builders have well established names in the boating community. It would be very hard to break into that market," Harry replied.

Harry grabbed the control of an overhead crane. He moved the trolley to the stern of the yacht and then lowered the hook. Once the hook was near the floor, he attached it to a bracket that held a large roll of canvas. Harry lifted the roll of canvas until it was several feet above the yacht.

Jack and Harry attached the end of the canvas to the transom with several lines. Once the canvas was secured, Harry began moving the crane trolley toward the bow. The hull had pipes installed to support the cover. Once the crane was at the bow Harry and Jack began tying it in place. Everyone pitched in to help.

Two hours later, the hull was ready to be moved and Harry told the group they were finished for the day. He said that the yard workers would move the hull later in the week.

Don found his wife, telling her they were ready to go to the hotel. After telling Harry and Jack Waters they'd see them later that evening, the group left the boatyard. Don followed the women to the hotel and talked with the other men about their day.

"Don, what are you thinking?" Marc asked.

"What are you talking about?" Don replied.

"Don't give me that crap, I can tell you've got something going on in that head of yours."

"I don't know, I was just thinking about that hull Harry has. I'm wondering if there is a way to make a few bucks," Don said.

"Damn, Don, you don't need anymore projects. You have one yacht already, what would you do with another one?" Jerry asked.

"I have no idea, like I said, I was just thinking. Have you heard from Bob lately? I wonder how he's doing with the golf course," Don said.

"I talked to him yesterday. Bob said things are going pretty well. He has met with the architect a few times and they have plans for us to review," Jerry said.

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't have to look at the plans. I wouldn't know what I was looking at anyway," Marc said.

"That's true, Marc. I think Bob is more concerned with the costs than the design. He has some budgetary numbers for us to review," Jerry said. "From what he told me, the costs are within the range we have allocated for the project."

"Tell Bob to make the decision then. I don't want to be involved in every aspect of the course. I want to play golf on it," Marc told Jerry.

Marge pulled into the parking lot of the hotel. Don parked next to her and everyone got out. When they got to their rooms, everyone gathered in the suite Don and Marc were staying in with their wives.

"What time should we be ready to go to Harry and Ellen's house?" Joanne asked.

"They said to come anytime after five thirty. That gives us an hour before we have to leave," Don said. "Just about enough time to shower and get dressed, for some of us." Don glanced at Marge and winked.

"Are you trying to tell me something, Honey?" Marge asked.

"Yeah, I'm trying to tell you that women take too long to get dressed," Don replied.

"We do it so we look good for you guys. If we didn't care, we could get ready as fast as you guys do," Anne said with a chuckle. "That and if you guys didn't want to fool around every time we're naked it would save time."

"I don't mind, I can just start a little earlier," Joanne said as she slipped her arm around Sam's waist.

Sam laughed and gave Joanne a kiss. "In that case, let's get going!"

Joanne giggled and began pulling Sam toward the door. She waved at the others, telling them she and Sam would see them in a little while. When they got to their suite, Joanne hugged Sam.

"This isn't a dream, is it, Baby?" Joanne said as she wiggled against her husband.

"What? What are you talking about?" Sam replied.

"I don't know. All that's been happening seems so surreal. In the past couple weeks I've gone from a furniture sales woman to a decorator. We're going to move into a dream house, we've found some great friends and I feel like I'm floating on a cloud half the time."

Sam moved his hands to Joanne's sides and started pushing her top up, removing it when she raised her arms above her head. He unhooked her bra, pulling it off. He put his hands on her breasts, kneading them gently while he stroked her hardening nipples with his thumbs.

"We deserve this, Jo. You worked hard in school and I have busted my ass at the firm to get where I am. I have to admit that meeting Don, Marc, and their wives has helped, but we're earning everything we're getting. Don and Marc aren't the kind of guys that will just give their money away."

"It seems like they do. When we went shopping for furniture, Marge and Anne bought the best in the store. They want everything I do with the houses to be top of the line too. I think I can do just as much without spending a fortune."

Sam chuckled and said, "There are reasons for what they're spending on the Florida house—tax breaks. Jerry has planned it so they can write off a lot of the money they're spending. In their tax bracket, it's like getting everything half off."

"Maybe someday I'll understand how all that works. All I know is I'm having a ball doing what I'm doing."

"Are you having as much fun doing who you're doing, too?"

Joanne pulled back and looked into Sam's eyes. "Is there something wrong, Sam? Do you want to stop fooling around with the others?" Joanne felt her body tense up, wondering if the sex had gone too far.

"No, there's nothing wrong. It was just a question, Sweetie. I don't want to stop what we're doing, not right now anyway."

"What do you mean by 'not right now, ' Sam? Have you been thinking about stopping?"

"When we decide it's time for you to stop taking the pill I want to stop. I want to make sure the baby is mine. Once you're pregnant, we can do what we want to do."

Joanne threw her arms around Sam's neck and kissed him. "When do you want me to stop taking the pill?"

"I was thinking about when we got back to Michigan, Baby. I figure I could use condoms for a while if we have to. You need to go to the doctor to find out," Sam said.

"If you knock me up in March, we'll have the baby in November. By then, we'll be settled in our new house. Can I tell everyone?" Joanne said.

"If you want, go for it. What the hell, these folks are as close to us as anyone in our lives. I think it's only fair we share our joy with them. Jo, you know I love you, don't you? I also hope you are still okay with the changes we've made lately."

"I love you too, Sammy," Joanne replied, using her pet name for her husband. "Things have changed, but I think they have changed for the better—at least they have for me." Joanne began unfastening Sam's pants. She pushed them down, leaning over so she could take his penis in her mouth. "Mmmm, this is good!"

Joanne knelt in front of Sam. She took his member back into her mouth, applying a gentle suction while moving her lips over the hard shaft. Sam put his hands on her head, guiding her movements.

"Looks like the kids are at it again," Liz said when she and Jerry walked into the suite.

Joanne got up and laughed. "Oops, I didn't expect you two so soon."

Liz laughed and then said, "Don't stop on our account."

Joanne grinned and shook her head. "Sam and I have news, we're going to try to get pregnant."

"Well, Honey, I don't want to tell you two your business, but you're doing it wrong. If you want to get pregnant, you have to put his cock in your pussy, not your mouth," Liz said.

The four of them laughed. Sam kicked off his slacks and picked them up. He put his hand on Joanne's bottom, pushing her toward the bedroom.

"I guess we'll just have to try it the other way then," Sam said.

"Be quick about it. We're going to leave in a half hour," Jerry said. "Liz and I are going to get into the shower and then get dressed."

"What are you wearing tonight, Liz?" Joanne asked.

"I'm wearing a sundress. We're going to be freezing our asses off in a couple days so I'm going to enjoy the weather as long as I can. Marge and Anne are wearing dresses too," Liz said.

Chuckling, Jerry said, "I think I'm going to wear a pair of pants and a shirt, how about you, Sam?"

Liz smacked Jerry's arm. "Get in the bathroom, you fool! Men, what are we going to do with them?"

"I'm going to fuck mine, I don't know what you're going to do with yours," Joanne replied with a giggle.

Jerry and Liz went to their room while Sam and Joanne went to theirs. After they finished undressing, Sam and Joanne got into the shower together. They were frisky, but they decided they didn't have time for what they both really wanted to do. After showering, they dried each other. Sam went to get dressed while Joanne fixed her hair and applied her makeup.

In the next room, Liz and Jerry also showered together. While under the hot water, Liz fondled Jerry's penis.

"I think it's wonderful that Sam and Jo are going to start a family, don't you, Honey?" Liz asked as she moved her soapy hand over his shaft.

"Yes, I do too. They will have to slow down, but I think they're ready."

"Joanne is so excited about the work she's doing. It must be a lot more rewarding for her now." Joanne stopped fondling Jerry and started shampooing her hair. "It will be like being an aunt for me when they have a baby."

"You sound like you're almost as excited as they are, Liz."

"Close. I can't wait until I can help Jo with the baby. I don't know if we'll ever have any grandchildren now. Megan doesn't seem interested in having a relationship with a man anymore."

"I wouldn't worry about Megan, Honey. You never know how things will turn out for her. This might just be a phase or something. Who knows, she and Lisa may decide to have kids and still be together—it wouldn't be the first time something like that was done."

"Jerry, do you ever think about the time you and Megan got together?" Liz asked as she finished rinsing.

Jerry nodded and moved under the water to rinse the soap off his body. Liz rubbed her hands over him as he stood with his eyes closed. Jerry didn't say anything as he shut off the water and opened the glass shower door.

Liz got out behind him, pulling towels off the rack, and handing one to Jerry. She watched him as he dried himself, seemingly deep in thought.

"Liz, that was a bittersweet night. On one hand, it was very erotic, but I still feel guilty about it. I wish I could make what happened disappear and I wish I could do it again, but that will never happen. I won't let it! I love Megan and feel that what I did violated her."

"Honey, Megan still loves you, you know. I kind of feel the same way you do, but I don't have the guilt. I don't think I would ever do anything like that again, but I'm not really sure. I guess it's different for me."

"How so?" Jerry asked.

"I don't really know. It just is. Having sex with another woman is a lot different than having sex with a man—at least it is for me. When I have sex with a woman, it's purely lust. With a man, there is another connection, something more intimate."

"I guess I understand how you feel. I know that my head wasn't screwed on right that night. Like I said, it will never happen again," Jerry said.

"Honey, never say never! Who knows what will happen in the future? Do you think you could really resist Megan if she made up her mind to seduce you?" Liz chuckled. "She can be very persuasive if she wants to."

"I'd rather not even think about it, Liz. I still get a queasy stomach when I think about the time it did happen. Then we did it with Megan and Jack—that was a real mistake if you ask me."

"That I will agree was a big mistake. I don't know why that happened. Do you realize how much trouble we could have gotten into?"

"Hell yes, I'm a lawyer, remember?"

Liz nodded. She put her arms around Jerry, pressing her body against his. "I think we should stick to people our own age, or at least to partners that are over eighteen."

"You liked having sex with Jack, didn't you? You liked the fact he was so young. I don't mind, I think it's natural to want to feel attracted to younger people—I know I like it. Joanne really excites me."

Liz grinned. "Yeah, she excites me too! Let's get dressed before we're late for dinner. You know how Don likes to be punctual."

Jerry and Liz finished getting ready. They went to the living room, finding Sam and Joanne sitting close to each other on a couch. Jerry called Don's room, letting Don know they were ready to leave.

The four couples went downstairs and out to the van. Marc drove to Harry's house while the group listened to Joanne babble about her news. Marge and Anne chuckled at Joanne's excitement, making comments about the responsibilities of raising children. When Marc pulled up in front of the house, he pointed out the fact their children were already there.

Don, Marc, Jerry, Sam, and their wives walked around the house to the backyard. They greeted everyone, accepting Harry and Jack Waters' offer of drinks. The women went into the house to see if they could help Ellen and Sarah with the meal while the men gathered to talk.

The teens sat at one of the tables drinking sodas and talking about the fishing tournament. Eddie and Brad told Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally they wanted to go fishing with the group again.

"I can't wait until we can come back and do more fishing," Jack said. "I know I had a blast at the tournament."

"Are we going to join the club?" Sally asked Jack.

"Do you think we should?" Jack replied. When Sally shrugged her shoulders, Jack said, "Yeah, I think we should join the club. We'll be spend a lot of time down here so we'll be able to make some of the meetings and tournaments."

"Your parents will have to join too. You can't be in the youth club unless your parents are members of the club. Someday that may change, but for now that's the rule," Eddie said.

"We're trying to get the board to agree to allow kids to join the youth division without having a parent as a member, but so far we haven't had much luck. One of these days we're going to have more successful tournaments. When we do, they won't have an excuse to keep kids from joining," Jenny said.

"Do you have any applications here?" Tom asked. "We can get our dads to fill them out if you do."

"Really? I have applications in the house. I'll go get them," Jenny said as she got up.

While Jenny scurried toward the house, Sally noticed Jack was watching the girl's butt. Smiling, Sally nudged Jack. He glanced at Sally, smiling.

Jenny came back with a folder in her hand. She pulled out two applications, giving one to Jack and another to Tom. Jenny also gave the two boys pens. Jack looked over the application for a moment.

"Should we use our Florida address or Michigan?" Jack asked.

"You can use either one I guess," Eddie said.

Jack and Tom began filling out the applications. They had to ask their fathers for the new address, but they were able to complete the rest of the form. Once they were finished, Jack and Tom took the applications to their fathers.

"Dad, could you and Uncle Marc complete these applications and sign them please. They're for the fishing club. We would like to join," Jack said.

Don took the form from his son. After reviewing it, he filled in the missing information and signed it. Marc did the same with other the form.

"How much money do you need?" Don asked, reaching into his pants' pocket for his money clip.

"Membership is forty dollars a year, Dad," Jack said. "I have the money."

Don peeled off four twenty dollar bills, handing them to his son. Jack and Tom thanked their fathers and returned to the table. Jack handed Jenny the applications and money.

"Thanks for joining; here are the youth applications for you guys. Each of you has to fill one out. We're different from the main club. We like to have everyone join the youth division so we can boost our membership," Jenny said.

"That's cool," Kim said as she accepted the application from Jenny. "Do we have to pay too?"

"Yes, we charge ten dollars to cover the cost of mailing the newsletter and stuff like that," Kathy said.

Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim filled out the applications. Once they were finished, Jack gave Jenny the money for all of them.

"I'll turn these in at our next meeting," Jenny said. "Maybe you guys can plan your next trip so you can go to the meeting with us."

"When are the meetings?" Sally asked.

"The youth group meets on the second Thursday of the month. The whole club meets on the forth Thursday. We usually go to all the meetings," Brad said.

"Are we coming down in March, Sweetie?" Sally asked Jack.

"I don't know yet. We'll have to see if we're needed and if our parents will let us come. If we do, we can plan the trip so we can make the meeting or meetings," Jack said.

"Maybe the new house will be to a point we can have you guys over," Tom said. "My dad said the builder is going to try to finish it quickly."

"I can't wait until Tomiko is finished and we can take her out," Kim said. "You guys will have to come out with us as soon as we can go."

"You know, it's kind of funny, but we have never been out on one of the yachts my dad builds. Jenny and I have been on them while they were under construction, but not after they're finished. Your boat would be great for swordfish fishing," Eddie said.

"That would be cool. When we're ready, you can help us buy the fishing tackle we'll need if you don't mind," Jack said.

"No We'll take you to the tackle shop where we buy everything we use. The owner is very cool, gives us a lot of help buying the right stuff," Eddie said.

Ellen came out to say dinner was almost ready. When she asked Jenny and Kathy to set the tables, Kim and Sally got up to help. The guys stayed at the table, talking about fishing.

When the girls began putting the food on the table, everyone started passing around the platters and bowls. While they ate, the teens shared one table while the adults sat at another. After eating, the girls and women cleared the tables. Jack went over to see what his dad was doing, standing behind Don listening to him talk to Harry and Jack Waters. Harry glanced up, acknowledging Jack's presence.

"Hi, Jack, is there something I can do for you?" Harry asked.

"No thanks. I was just seeing what was going on," Jack replied.

"I was just telling your father about the yacht building business."

"Are you thinking of building yachts, Dad?" Jack asked.

"No, I'm just curious about it, Son. It's very interesting. Harry was just telling us about some of his clients and the demands they make," Don said.

"I hope we're not being a pain," Jack said quickly.

"Not in the least. You guys are great. It isn't often we get a client that will listen to us like you guys do. Some of the people we deal with can be down-right unreasonable," Harry said. "They think that having money gives them the right to treat people like crap!"

"I'd get my butt kicked if my dad ever found out I was an asshole," Jack said. "We've always been taught to respect other people."

Grinning, Harry said, "It shows."

"You should help my dad find us a fishing boat. We need something we can use to go out like Eddie and Jenny do on the Lady Guinevere. Who knows, maybe someday we can even get as good as they are at fishing," Jack said.

"You have a boat at home, Jack. Can't you use that one?" Don said, fighting back the urge to laugh.

"Um, sure I guess we could. It's kind of small for the ocean, but we can use it in the ICW and fish for permit and the like," Jack replied.

Don chuckled and then said, "I've already asked Harry to keep an eye out for a boat. Maybe we can do something about a fishing boat for you kids in the future. For now, you need to concentrate on Tomiko though."

"I know, Dad."

Jack stood behind his father for a few more minutes. Sally came over and took his hand. She stood silently, holding Jack's hand in hers. Jack glanced at Sally, flashing a smile at her. She smiled back and tightened her grip.

"Jenny, Kathy, Kim, and I are going to go inside for a while," Sally said.

Jack nodded. Sally stretched up, kissing his cheek and then went to the house. Harry and Jack Waters watched the brief exchange, wondering what was going on. Neither asked.

Jack returned to the table, sitting down across from Eddie and Brad. They were telling Tom about some of their friends from school and other things about the area. After listening for a moment, Jack joined the conversation.

"I guess I would be out on the boat every chance I got if I had the Lady Guinevere," Jack said. "I love fishing for billfish."

"We get out as much as we can, but during school we have to limit the amount of time we fish. If we let our grades slip, we won't be able to fish at all. That, and it takes a lot of money to keep fuel in the boat. We have an account that we put the money we win at tournaments in, but we have to be careful not to drain it," Eddie said.

"When is your next money tournament?" Tom asked.

"There are a few coming up, but I don't know which ones we're going to fish. Two of them, the ones that pay the most, are in the Bahamas. I'm not sure we can take time off school to go to them," Eddie said. "Once school is out for the summer, we'll be able to fish more of the tournaments."

The guys heard giggling and turned to see four very naked girls streaking across the yard for the pool. They all jumped in and began swimming around in the deep water. The adults started laughing at what they had just seen.

"I just can't seem to keep Sally in her clothing when there's a pool around," Anne said and then she chuckled.

"I assume you don't mind them swimming naked then," Ellen said.

"Not at all. They do it all the time back home. Besides, from what Sally told me, this isn't the first time they've all been naked together," Anne said.

"I'm sure it isn't. When our kids are on the boat, they spend a lot of time without their clothing," Sarah said and then she smiled. "Feel free to join them if you'd like."

Marge chuckled. "Do you two skinny dip with your kids?"

"Yes we do. I have this thing about double standards. It just drives me nuts that men can go without shirts while women can't," Ellen said.

"Ellen, don't get started on that tonight," Harry said.

"I happen to agree with you, Ellen. It really sucks that I have to wear a top on the beach, or anywhere else a man can go without his shirt. Someday, I hope women will have the same rights as men do," Marge said.

"That's not going to happen anytime soon, not as long as society as a whole considers tits as sex organs! Being able to go topfree should be something any woman can do if she chooses to," Ellen said.

"Topfree, is that the same as topless?" Joanne asked.

"I used to think so, that is until I read an article about the topfree movement. Topless is what they call dancers in men's clubs. Going without a top because of equality is being topfree. You never hear a man referred to as being topless, do you?" Ellen said.

"I have read about women that have been arrested or asked to leave a place because they were breastfeeding their children. There is nothing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned. In one article, they asked a woman to go into the bathroom at a restaurant to feed her baby. She asked if the rest of the patrons would also be required to eat their meals in the restroom. When they said no, she continued to feed her child," Sarah said.

"If anyone ever asked my wife to go to the restroom to feed one of our children, they'd be eating their teeth!" Sam said. "Jo and I are planning on having a baby very soon and if she decides to breast feed, I may need Jerry's services."

"I certainly plan to breast feed our child if at all possible," Joanne said. "I have never thought about feeding in a public place, but I can see how it could happen. When the baby is hungry, you have to feed it, don't you?"

"Yes you do and you should have the right to," Jerry said. "If Sam gets into trouble, I know of some attorneys that would be much better at defending him than I would. Criminal law isn't my forte."

"I'm not going to hit anyone, but that doesn't mean I'll keep my mouth shut. I think this country is going to hell in a hand bag. I wonder how they treated breastfeeding years ago, before bottles were so popular," Sam said.

"Women weren't as mobile as they are today. When they had small children, they stayed home," Ellen said. "Today, women work and can even vote—as long as they wear a shirt."

Everyone laughed at Ellen's sarcasm. Joanne got up and began removing her clothing. Chuckling, Joanne said, "I'm going swimming!"

Once she was naked, Joanne joined the girls in the pool. She swam for a few moments before going to stand with Kathy, Jenny, Kim, and Sally. The rest of the women also stripped, jumping into the pool with the rest of the group of women.

"You know, a few months ago, Joanne wouldn't even let ME see her naked very often," Sam said.

"No kidding, Sarah was the same way. Ellen got a hold of her while we were on the boat and things changed. Now she is very comfortable being naked," Jack Waters said.

Jerry laughed and told the two men about his wife and his first experience being naked in front of Don and Marc's families. The four men decided to have another beer and Harry went to get the drinks.

"Are we going to go swimming too?" Tom asked.

"I'm game if you guys want to," Brad said. "I take it it's no big deal with your parents either. Our parents don't care one way or the other."

"Our parents don't care either," Jack said. "We have a pool at home and go swimming naked all the time."

The four boys undressed and headed for the pool. They stayed away from the women, gathering at the opposite end of the pool. They relaxed in the refreshing water while talking about the next time Jack, Tom, and their sisters would be back down.

After about twenty minutes, the girls got out of the pool. Ellen went into the house, returning with a stack of towels. After drying themselves the women got dressed. Jack, Tom, Eddie, and Brad stayed in the pool for a little longer before they decided they had enough.

"I guess we better get going," Don said. "Your kids have school in the morning and ours have to be at the boatyard."

"Thank you for a wonderful meal and a great evening," Anne said. "As soon as we get settled in our new house, we'll have all of you over."

The goodbyes took a few minutes. Don and the rest of the adults told their children they would see them the next day and then they left. Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim chatted for a few more minutes before heading to their hotel.

"That was fun," Kim said as Tom headed for the hotel. "I really like those guys."

"Yeah, they are a lot like us," Sally said. "Their parents are cool too."

When they got back to the hotel, Jack told Sally he was going to take a shower. She undressed, telling Jack she was going to take a shower with him. Kim and Tom sat on the couch, waiting until the bathroom was free.

"You seem to like Jenny," Sally said to Jack while they stood in the shower.

"She's nice. I like all of them," Jack replied.

"Do you want to have sex with Jenny?"

"What—no, why do you ask?" Jack replied.

"I don't know, the way you were looking at her tonight I guess. You think she's cute, don't you?"

"Yes, I think she is cute. I think Kathy is cute too. That doesn't mean I want to have sex with them. Sally, I love you," Jack said as he hugged her.

"I love you too, Baby." Sally turned her head up so she could kiss Jack. While they kissed, she began fondling his penis.

Sally knelt in the shower. She took Jack's penis in her hand, stroking it as she looked up into his eyes. Sally opened her mouth, guiding his member over her tongue. Jack sighed, feeling the warmth of Sally's mouth around his penis. He smiled at her, letting Sally know how much he was enjoying what she was doing. After a few moments, Jack pulled Sally to her feet.

"Let's finish in here and go to bed, Sweetie," Jack said.

Sally nodded and began washing him. When she was finished, Jack washed Sally. They got out of the shower, dried off and went out to the bedroom. Kim and Tom had undressed. They were cuddled together on the couch and Tom was playing with one of Kim's breasts. Tom got up, pulling Kim to her feet. They headed for the bathroom to shower while Jack and Sally took their place on the couch.

Jack pulled Sally close, placing his lips to hers. They kissed tenderly at first, but soon their passion grew. Sally slowly moved her hand up and down on his shaft while Jack massaged her breasts.

"Can I give you a blowjob?" Sally asked as she kissed Jack's ear.

Jack nodded and watched Sally lean over. She took his penis into her mouth, clamping her lips around his shaft. Jack reached between Sally's legs and stroked her vulva. She opened her legs, hooking one foot on the back of the couch. Jack found her wet opening and slipped two fingers into her vagina. Sally moaned around his member, taking him even deeper into her mouth.

In the bathroom, Kim and Tom continued their hugging and kissing. Kim turned around, pulling Tom's around her. He snuggled against her back and fondled her breasts while they exchanged glances in the mirror. Reaching between her legs, Kim wrapped her hand around Tom's penis. He bent his knees so Kim could put his member between her legs. She clamped his penis with her legs, feeling it slid against her sex while Tom slowly moved.

"Mmmm, that feel so good," Kim cooed. She pressed his penis against her with the palm of her hand.

Tom kissed the back of Kim's neck. He put a hand on her shoulder, pressing her forward. Kim giggled as she grabbed the edge of the sink counter. Bending at the waist, Kim looked at Tom's reflection in the mirror.

"Are you going to fuck me standing up?" Kim asked.

Tom gripped his penis, guiding it into her vagina. "Mmmm, I guess you are," Kim moaned as he began to move slowly.

After stroking in and out of Kim for a few moments, Tom pulled his member out of her. She looked up at him, wondering why he stopped. Tom turned Kim around and picked her up. He put her on the counter and reentered her vagina with his throbbing member. Kim put her arms around Tom's neck, humping against his slow thrusts.

Kim lifted her legs, wrapping them around Tom's hips. She moaned softly, enjoying how full he made her feel. Tom slipped his hands under her bottom, lifting her off the counter. Locked together limited their movements, but both of them enjoyed the feeling. Kim kissed Tom tenderly, shifting her tongue over his lips.

Tom put Kim back on the counter so he could move his member in her vagina. Kim kept her arms around his neck, but relaxed her legs to make his thrusts longer. They began to move faster and then Tom started to ejaculate inside her. Kim groaned, feeling Tom's penis throb in her vagina. When he was spent, Tom leaned forward to hug Kim.

"I owe you a climax, don't I?" Tom whispered in Kim's ear.

"Yes, and I fully intend to collect before the night's over, Baby. Let's take our shower so we can go to bed."

Tom and Kim got into the shower and began washing each other.

"Yum, I love your cum, Honey," Sally said as she smiled up at Jack. She licked her teeth and then took his wilting penis back into her mouth.

Jack pulled her head up and then pushed her onto her back. He slid down so he could get his head between her wide spread legs. It only took Jack a few minutes to finish what he had started with his fingers. Jack and Sally crawled into bed, both of them sated.

"Are you up to more?" Sally asked. "I want you to make love to me—you know, fuck me."

"Give me a few minutes and I will, Baby.'

Sally and Jack snuggled in each other's arms. Then kissed tenderly, whispering words of love.

"It's okay if you want to fuck Jenny," Sally said.

"What?" Jack replied, rising up so he could see Sally's face.

"If you want to have sex with Jenny, I don't mind."

"Why, do you want to have sex with Brad—Jenny's boyfriend Brad."

"I will if you want me to."

"Sally, how can you say something like that?"

"You still don't really get it, do you? Jack, I love you—I'm yours for as long as you want me. If you told me to have sex with Brad, or anyone else, I would do it for you. Your happiness is the most important thing in the world to me."

"How can you think that having you have sex with someone else would make me happy?"

Sally shrugged her shoulders.

"Baby, I'm very happy being with you. Can't you understand that?"

"Yes, of course I can. I'm happy too, Jack. Belonging to you makes me happy."

Jack was about to tell Sally she didn't belong to him, but didn't. He remembered his talk with his Aunt Anne and decided he needed to talk to her again. Something was going on that he just didn't understand.

"I'm glad you feel that way, Baby." Jack pulled Sally into a hug and kissed her. "I'm very happy that you do. Now, why don't you see what you can do about my limp dick? Get me up so I can show you how much I love you."

Giggling, Sally slid down his body. She nuzzled his penis with her face, feeling its warmth. Using her hand and mouth, Sally started to play with Jack. While she was licking, sucking, and stroking his penis, Tom and Kim came out of the bathroom. Sally didn't stop what she was doing while her brother and Kim got into their bed. She glanced at the couple, grinning around Jack's member when she saw her brother kissing Kim between her legs.

Once Jack was erect, Sally moved up, straddling his body. She guided his penis into her opening, wiggling until he was fully embedded in her vagina. Sally leaned forward, moaning as Jack wrapped his arms around her back.

"I wish we were alone," Sally whispered. "I want you to fuck my ass. Someday, I want you and Tom to do what you did to Megan, both of you at the same time."

"Hmmm, that sounds interesting. Maybe we'll do that someday, Baby. Right now, I want you to fuck me though. I love the feeling of your hot pussy around my cock."

Sally began to move, raising, and lowering herself on Jack's penis. She tightened her vaginal muscles, gripping him when he was deep inside her. Sally rubbed her breasts against Jack's chest while she rode his member.

Kim let out a throaty groan as Tom's tongue and fingers brought her to the crest of her orgasm. She planted her feet on the bed, rubbing her crotch against his face. Tom grabbed her hips so he could maintain contact with Kim's sex. When she reached her peek, Kim bent at the waist and grabbed Tom's head. Her legs shot straight out, flailing uncontrollably. She gripped her breasts, pulling at her turgid nipples while groaning out her low throaty drone. When her body went limp, Tom kissed his way to her face. He placed his lips against Kim's, kissing her with an open mouth.

Tom slid into Kim's vagina, feeling it contracting around his member. He glanced at Sally, sharing a smile with her. Sally returned her attention to Jack, looking into his eyes as she moved. A little while later, the four sated teens fell asleep.

Chapter 15


"I had a good time tonight," Jenny said to Eddie. "I really like them."

"I do too, Jen. I'm glad they joined the fishing club," Eddie told his sister.

Jack, Sarah, Kathy, and Brad Waters had left the Shockley's house. Jenny and Eddie's parents were in their room getting ready for bed. Jenny and Kathy had helped wash the dishes after their guests left. Now, Jenny was talking with her brother before they went to bed.

"When they come back, we can take them out fishing again," Eddie said. "They all seem to really enjoy going out."

"Kim said they did. She and Sally were telling Kathy and me how much fun they had fishing the tournament. I wonder if they will get a fishing boat."

"I don't know, but they might. Jack said his dad was thinking about getting one to have down here."

Jenny stood in her bedroom while her brother leaned against the doorjamb. She began to undress while they continued to talk. Once she was naked, Jenny walked over to Eddie.

"Want to come in for a little while?"

"I don't know. Do you want me to?"

"We haven't done anything together in a while, have we?" Jenny said, smiling at her brother. "Brad said he was going to see if Kathy wanted to fool around tonight."

"I know, she told me. I thought we were going to stop having sex with each other, Jen."

Jenny put her arms around Eddie. Hugging him, she said, "I know, but it's hard for me. You were my first lover and I can't just give it up like that. Remember when we promised each other we would always make love?"

"Yes, I remember, but we've talked about it since then. We both know we can't be sure we'll be able to keep that promise. I thought you loved Brad."

"I do love him, but I love you too. No matter what, I'll always love you. Brad and I are really close, but I don't know if he'll be my last boyfriend. I'm still young—too young to be thinking about the rest of my life."

"Are you and Brad having problems, Jen?"

"No, not at all. In fact, we're getting along better than ever. How about you and Kathy? Are you two still madly in love?" Jenny asked as she pressed against Eddie.

"Why do you ask? Do you know something I don't?" Eddie replied, his hands going around his sister's back.

"No, I'm just checking. Sometimes you two don't seem as close as you used to."

"We are, Jen. We are as close as we ever have been. We're doing just fine."

"Do you ever think about the way we were before we started dating them? I do all the time."

"What are you trying to tell me?" Eddie asked as his hands dropped to her butt.

"I'm trying to tell you I miss being close with you. I'm trying to tell you how much I love you," Jenny said as she stretched up to kiss his chin. "Brad is a wonderful lover, but I never feel the same with him as I do with you."

"Are you thinking of going out with other guys?" Eddie said as he kissed the top of her head.

"Not really, but Brad and I talked about it—well, kind of anyway."

"What do you mean by that?" Eddie asked.

Jenny led her brother to her bed. She sat down, pulling Eddie down next to her. Eddie glanced at her and chuckled. "You know, it's hard sitting here with you naked like you are."

Jenny put her hand on her brother's crotch. She giggled and said, "I can tell. You could get naked, too, you know."

"Yeah, and you could put something on."

"Do you want me to? I will if you would feel better." Jenny began to get up, but Eddie grabbed her arm to stop her.

"No, you're fine the way you are." Eddie stood up and removed his clothes. "There, is that better?"

Giggling, Jenny nodded her head.

"So, what did you and Brad talk about?"

"We talked about being exclusive with each other. He asked about dating other people and I told him he could if he wanted to. Brad told me it would be okay if I dated too."

"Does that include sex?" Eddie asked.

Jenny shrugged her shoulders. "We didn't really talk about that."

"Would you have sex with someone else?"

"With you," Jenny said with a giggle.

"Besides me. How about another guy?"

"Maybe. It would depend on the guy. If he was nice I might."

"It sounds like you and Brad are thinking about breaking up."

"No, not at all, Eddie. We've just been talking about a few things. Do you think you'll spend the rest of your life with Kathy?"

Eddie did not answer his sister's question right away. He had never really thought about it before. The idea of Kathy being his last girlfriend wasn't something he had considered—not until then.

"I don't really know, Jen. Maybe. I love Kathy a lot."

"I know you do, just like I love Brad. How do you know that she's the right one though? I mean neither of us have had other boyfriends or girlfriends. We might meet someone else."

Eddie nodded, knowing what his sister was saying was true. At sixteen, he had a long time to think about life as an adult. He and Kathy hadn't really talked about the future, not long term anyway. Jenny interrupted his thoughts when she began playing with him. Eddie glanced at his sister, returning the smile she gave him.

Putting his arm around Jenny, he kissed her. She moaned into his mouth and tightened her grip on his member. After a moment, Eddie broke the kiss and got up.

"I'm going to bed, Jen. I'll see you in the morning. We can talk tomorrow," Eddie said.

Jenny nodded as her brother turned and walked away. She got into bed, pulling the sheet over her. She reached up and turned off the lamp next to her bed. Hugging her pillow, Jenny tried to sort out her feelings. She had wanted to make love with her brother, but didn't want him to do it if he didn't want to. Jenny thought about past encounters as her hand moved down her body.

Eddie sat on the edge of his bed thinking about what his sister had said. He was still erect and began to stroke himself while thinking about Jenny naked in bed in the next room. After a few moments, Eddie gave in to his love for Jenny.

"Starting without me?" Eddie said as he slid into bed next to Jenny.

"I thought you didn't want to."

Eddie leaned over Jenny, kissing her softly on the lips. She put her hand behind his head, pulling Eddie's mouth to hers. Their tongues met and they moaned into one another's mouths. Suddenly there was an urgency between the two siblings. Eddie moved between Jenny's legs, pushing his penis against her vulva until he found her opening. As he sunk into her vagina, Eddie whispered to Jenny.

"Make sure I'm up and out of here before Mom and Dad catch us."

Jenny moaned. She hooked her legs over his and put her arms around Eddie's neck. Starting slowly, they began to move in the lover's dance they had enjoyed so many times before. Jenny whispered, "I love you, Eddie."

"I love you too, Jen."

-------

"Mmmm, I love the feeling of your cock in my mouth," Kathy said after pulling her mouth off Brad's rigid member. "I wonder if Cindy is watching from the bushes tonight."

"Who know or cares?" Brad said.

"Do you want to cum in my mouth before you fuck my brains out tonight? It's been so long I want you to last a long time," Kathy said.

"Turn around so I can eat your pussy while you suck me, Kathy. We'll cum in each others' mouths."

Kathy shifted until her crotch was above her brother's head. Brad pulled her down, swiping her vulva with his tongue. She took his penis into her mouth again, feeling his member hit the back of her throat. Kathy swallowed several times, trying to control the urge to gag. Once she relaxed, she held Brad's penis at the opening of her throat for a moment. Brad moaned into her sex and pushed his tongue against her tight opening.

"Mmmm," Kathy moaned around his penis. She lifted her head so she could look between their bodies and watch her brother lick at her sex.

Brad gripped Kathy's butt cheeks, pulling her tightly to his face. He moved his head, causing his chin to bump against her clitoris. Kathy let out another moan as she took his penis deep again. They continued to kiss, suck, and lick each other for several minutes. Sliding one hand under his leg, Kathy fondled Brad's testicles while her head bobbed up and down on his shaft.

When Kathy felt her brother's penis swell in her mouth, she pulled back until only an inch or so was between her lips. She applied a firm suction and stroked his member with her hand. Kathy felt Brad sucking her clit and she began to climax. His penis shot a stream of thick semen into her mouth, coating her tongue and the roof of her mouth. Kathy continued to suck and swallow as Brad's penis shot more of the thick fluid into her mouth.

Brad could feel his sister's juices running down his throat while he covered her labia with his mouth. Kathy wiggled her body, rubbing her clitoris against his chin to prolong the orgasm she was having. Brad screwed his tongue into her as far as he could, using it to draw her fluids into his mouth. He sucked on the puffy lips of her labia, while Kathy rubbed his softening penis with her tongue.

Unable to take anymore, Brad pushed Kathy off his body. She scrambled around so they could kiss and taste themselves on the others' lips. Kathy snuggled against Brad trying to catch her breath.

"God, I miss doing that with you, Brad," Kathy said as she wiggled against her brother.

"I have missed it too. I hope Eddie doesn't get pissed at us," Brad said.

"From what you said, I'll bet Eddie and Jenny are doing the same thing we are." Kathy gave Brad a kiss. "I don't really care. I'm loving this. I didn't think we could stop making love with each other. Not that I ever wanted to."

"I know, but we've talked about this before, Kathy. You know how I feel about Jenny and I know how you feel about Eddie," Brad said.

"Yes, but you also know how I feel about you, don't you?" Kathy asked. "I don't feel guilty and I'm not going to. Eddie and I will have sex just like before, and you and Jenny will too. Let's just enjoy this, okay?"

Brad gave Kathy a tender kiss. She reached for his penis, grinning when she felt it respond to her touch.

"Are you going to put this thing into my pussy?" Kathy asked as she waggled his hardening member.

Chuckling, Brad said, "If you insist."

"Mmmm, do I ever! Get your body on top of mine and fuck me, Brad."

Brad rolled onto Kathy. She reached between them, stroking his penis before inserting it in her vagina. Once he was firmly in place, Kathy grabbed his shoulders.

"I want you to screw me like there's no tomorrow." Kathy moaned and wiggled.

Brad began to move. He picked up speed, slamming his hips against Kathy's. Each time their hips met, Kathy let out a grunt. "Yes, yes, yes," Kathy chatted.

The coupling lasted almost a half hour. When Brad felt the pressure of his climax build, he buried his penis in Kathy's vagina and wait until it passed. Even his sister's pleading didn't make him move. Finally, Brad kept moving until he ejaculated in Kathy. She had an orgasm just as Brad finished his. Panting, they lay connected, feeling the warm afterglow of their lovemaking.

"I wish I didn't have to go to my room," Brad whispered into Kathy's ear. "I wish we could just stay like this all night."

"So do I, but there would be hell to pay if we got caught like this," Kathy said. "Mom and Dad are pretty cool, but I don't think they would be happy with us if they knew we were having sex. Even though they know we have, they have never really given us their blessing."

Brad chuckled. "I doubt they ever will, even if they do turn a blind eye to it."

"Do you think there's something going on with Jenny? I find it odd she would agree to us having sex," Kathy said.

"I don't think so. I think she wanted to screw her brother again. I'm kind of glad she did. We got to make love too. You know you'll always have a place in my heart."

Kathy snuggled against Brad, feeling the warmth of his body. "What do you think about Jack and Tom?" Kathy asked her brother. "Better yet, what do you think about Kim and Sally?"

"I think they're all nice, why?"

"I don't know. I like them too. I still find it weird that they have sex with each other, like we do," Kathy said. "I think Sally really likes you. Have you noticed the way she looks at you?"

"Not really. I haven't been paying any attention to that. Besides, I think Sally is really hung up on Jack," Brad said. "I think I better get to my room, Kathy. We have to get up for school tomorrow morning."

Kathy kissed her brother. "I know. I really wish you could stay though. I'll see you in the morning, Brad."

Brad left Kathy's room, walking quietly to his own bedroom. He carefully closed the door, trying not to wake his parents.

"I'm glad those two are finished for the night. I was worried we wouldn't get any sleep," Sarah told her husband. "Doesn't Kathy know how loud she is when she has sex?"

"I guess not, but I know where she gets it, from her mother," Jack said. "Now, weren't you sucking my cock before we were so rudely interrupted?"

Sarah chuckled as she took her husband's penis into her mouth.

-------

"Did you guys have a good night?" Jenny asked as Brad and Kathy got into the van the next morning.

Brad averted his eyes, but Kathy said, "We sure did. How about you two?" Kathy gave Eddie a kiss before she got into her seat. She put her mouth near his ear and whispered, "Its okay you know. I don't mind that you and Jenny fucked last night."

Eddie smiled at Kathy, put his hand behind her head, and gave her a hard kiss. Kathy giggled when Eddie let her go and she sat in her seat. On the way to school, the four of them talked about what they all knew happened.

"We're not very strong, are we?" Jenny said.

"I don't know. I think we're all very strong. How else could we deal with the things we do?" Kathy said. "It's no secret how we all feel about each other, not among the four of us. We have been doing what we did last night since before we met."

"I know, but I really tried not to give in," Brad said.

"Not that hard," Kathy said, causing everyone to laugh.

"What can I say? Who can resist your charms, either of you?" Brad said.

"Luckily, neither of you guys can resist Kathy and me. We love you for it though," Jenny said. She removed her seatbelt and moved onto Brad's lap. "I love you, Sweetie."

Brad and Jenny kissed for a minute before she retuned to her seat. While Eddie drove, Jenny and Brad held hands. Kathy sat sideways in her seat, flipping her skirt to flash Eddie.

"I wish we could cut school today and go to the boat," Kathy said. "It would be fun to just lie around for the day."

"It would, but you know we can't do that," Jenny said. "If our parents found out, we wouldn't be able to use the boat for the rest of the year. As good as it sounds, it isn't worth it."

"I know, but it sounds good!" Kathy said.

"It sounds great. Maybe we can go to the boat after school," Brad said.

Eddie pulled into the parking lot at school. They all got out of the van and headed for the building. While they walked, Jenny and Brad held hands. Eddie put his arm around Kathy's waist and she put her hand in his back pocket.

"What was with the teasing on the way here?" Eddie asked.

"Didn't you like it? I thought you would, Honey," Kathy replied.

"I did, but now I have to go to class and I'm all excited," Eddie said with a chuckle.

Giggling, Kathy whispered to Eddie. "We could go back to the van and I'll take care of that for you."

"You would too, wouldn't you?"

"In a heartbeat, Honey. You know I love sucking your cock for you. I would just love to take it all right now," Kathy teased.

"You're a brat. You know that, don't you?"

"Yes, but I'm a sexy brat."

"That you are, Baby. That you are. I'll tell you what. After school you can blow me twice."

"That sounds like a plan, Honey." Kathy moved faster so she and Eddie could catch up with Brad and Jenny. "We have to go to the boat after school; I have something to do there."

"Okay, we can call our parents to see if it's alright. I don't think there will be a problem," Jenny said.

Once they were in the building, the teens said goodbye and agreed to meet at lunch. They went to their lockers to get their books before heading to their homerooms.

During lunch hour, Jenny and Kathy called their moms to make sure it was okay to go to the boat. Their mothers said it was okay with them, but told them to be home early. Jenny asked if they could eat on the boat and her mom said they could. Jenny's mother said she would call Kathy's mom to let her know what was going on.

"We called our moms and they said we can go to the boat after school," Kathy said. "We can even have dinner there."

"That sounds good. We can pick up a pizza or something," Eddie said.

After lunch, Eddie, Brad, Kathy, and Jenny went to their afternoon classes. They had agreed to meet right after school to go to the boat.

-------

Ellen called Sarah after hanging up with Jenny. The two women talked for a few minutes and decided to get together that afternoon. After hanging up with Sarah, Ellen called her husband, telling him about the plans she and Sarah had made.

Sarah showed up at three thirty. She and Ellen went outside to chat and have a cup of coffee.

"That was a nice dinner last night, wasn't it?" Ellen asked.

"Yes, it sure was. Those folks are so friendly and fun. It's hard to remember they're so wealthy," Sarah replied.

"That's because none of them are snooty, Sarah. Harry told me they didn't act as if they were better than anyone else was. If I hadn't known they were rich, I would have never been able to tell. Their kids are just as nice as the parents are too. I know my kids like them."

"Brad and Kathy said they like them too. Speaking of our kids, Brad and Kathy were fooling around last night. Jack and I heard them while they thought we were asleep," Sarah said.

Ellen laughed and said, "I saw Eddie coming out of Jenny's room this morning. I think they spent the night together."

"I was under the impression Kathy and Brad weren't doing anything together anymore."

"That's what I thought about Jenny and her brother, but it seems we're both mistaken. I guess things could be worse, couldn't they?" Ellen said.

"Yes, I guess I would rather have them fooling around than doing drugs or something that could ruin their futures. The girls are on the pill so the chance of them getting pregnant isn't that great." Sarah smiled and then said, "I think I'm going to talk to Kathy and Brad again. I really don't want them to feel they have to sneak around."

"I don't know. Isn't that part of the fun?" Ellen said.

"Yes, I suppose it is. The kids don't really flaunt the fact they are sexually active."

"Did you overhear the conversation I had with Marge and Anne when we were in the pool last night?" Ellen asked her friend.

"No, I was busy talking to Joanne and Liz. What did they say?" Sarah asked.

"They didn't really come out and say it, but I think they're swingers. Marge and Anne told me how 'close' they all were. I also found out that Marge and Marc are siblings, so are Don and Anne."

"No kidding. No wonder the families are so close. I wonder if the kids are as close as ours are," Sarah said.

"It wouldn't surprise me, but there is very little that surprises me anymore."

"I know what you mean, Ellen. Since I have gotten over being such a prude there aren't many things that shock or surprise me. It's great to feel so alive. I have you to thank for that you know, you and Jack. If my husband hadn't finally gotten fed up with me and if you hadn't helped me learn about myself, I'm pretty sure I would be divorced by now."

Ellen chuckled and said, "You were a little bitchy, weren't you?"

"No, I was a fucking bitch! I still can't believe Jack didn't throw me out a long time ago."

"He loves you, Sarah. He loved you enough to stick by you. It was the way you were treating Brad and Kathy that made him reach his last straw. He was afraid you were going to instill your feelings in them."

"Jack was right. I was trying to turn my kids into me—Kathy at least. Now, I can listen to my kids have sex and laugh about it. I wonder if the kids know about the four of us." Sarah said.

"Eddie and Jenny know Harry and I swing. They caught us once. I don't know if they know that we do though. It wouldn't bother me if they did," Ellen said. "If any of them asked, I would tell them the truth. After all, I can't expect them to be honest with me if I'm not honest with them."

"I think it would be hard for me to admit I have sex with you and Harry, but I guess you're right, I wouldn't want to lie to the kids either." Sarah reached out, running her hand over Ellen's arm. "You and Harry have become wonderful friends, Ellen. You were the first person to really wake me up and make me realize what I was missing. I'm not talking about the sex—well, not just the sex.

"Seeing my kids and husband so happy fuels my desire to remain open and not be so judgmental. Kathy and I have become friends rather than just mom and daughter. We can talk about anything now."

"Isn't it great having that kind of relationship with your kids? I find it hard to believe Jenny and Eddie are as young as they are sometimes. They behave like they're much older." Ellen smiled when Sarah nodded her head. "Remember that day on the boat, the day the old Sarah changed?"

"The old Sarah died that day, Ellen! I have never looked back, not anymore. It was like flipping a switch for me. The first few days I wavered, my old feelings kept creeping in, but I was able to fend them off and move forward. Jack, bless his heart, wasn't about to let me slip back into my old ways.

"You know, the whole blowup was over the way Kathy was dressed and now I'm dressing more like a teen than a woman my age. My daughter and I have almost completely replaced our wardrobes."

"I know. You two have spent a fortune in my shop. As I remember it, one of your greatest fears was reverting to the way you were when you were a teenager. I guess it didn't happen," Ellen said.

"No, but I have thought about it." Sarah giggled. "Jack and Harry keep me happy in that regard. It's funny; I used to give blowjobs to degrade myself—to justify my feelings. I liked sucking cock from the first time I did it, but now that I'm doing it for the right reason, I love it even more."

Chuckling, Ellen said, "So, you wouldn't mind kneeling for a bunch of men as long as it was for the right reason?"

"That's not what I said, but I have to admit the thought has crossed my mind. I just couldn't do it with strangers, not anymore. Like I said, Jack and Harry keep me happy now," Sarah said and then she laughed. "I never thought I would be telling a woman I enjoyed sucking her husband's cock!"

"I can tell you Harry likes it when you do. I think I give pretty good head, but from what Harry tells me, you're a pro."

"I've had a lot of practice, Ellen. I'm not real proud of it, but facts are facts."

"What's it like, giving a bunch of guys head one after the other?"

Sarah thought for a moment. Smiling, she said, "It was fun for me when I was in high school. After that first night under the bleachers, I learned just how much control you have over a guy when you were sucking his cock. The weird thing is that I could never look at a guy's face back then, now I can't keep from watching the expressions they get."

"I talked to Clare the other day," Ellen said, changing the subject. "She and Ted are talking about getting married."

"Who couldn't see that coming? They seem like they're made for each other," Sarah said. "I'm really surprised they aren't living together now."

"Clare said she was making sure she and Ted were compatible. I think she's still smarting from the ordeal with her husband. She did say Erin and Cindy were getting along great. Clare doesn't think there will be any trouble when she and Ted do move in together."

"I wonder if they have ever considered swinging," Sarah said.

"Clare talked about it with me before. She asked if Harry and I had ever thought about it. When I told her we actively participated in swinging, she wasn't the least bit shocked. Clare told me she and Ted have talked about it, but they haven't decided if it was something they would do," Ellen said.

"When are your sister and Frank coming down again?" Sarah asked.

"I'm not sure, but I think they will be visiting soon. I know Sally wants to see Maria and Frank wants to see Erin. I have a feeling those two will be making a move in the near future. From what Sally's told me, Maria flies up to see her every other weekend. When my sister does make the move, I'm sure they will live together."

"Is Sally lesbian or bisexual?"

"She's bi, but she prefers women. She always has. Even when we were kids, she leaned toward girls. Sally dated boys, but if you ask me, it was more for appearance than because she wanted to. Being gay wasn't something that was accepted in the town we grew up in, not when we were young."

"Did you two ever fool around when you were living at home?"

"Sure. All the time. Sally was the first person I kissed or did anything else with sexually. We still get together when we can, but now Harry joins us. I think Sally likes it because she can get laid without being having a relationship with a man. Now with Maria in the picture, I'm not sure what is going to happen," Ellen said with a grin.

"I wouldn't mind having a little fun with either of them," Sarah said with a grin.

"You, the girl that couldn't think about having sex with another woman?"

"Okay, so I was wrong. You're the one that seduced me! How was I to know that I would like it so much? God, I'll never forget that night. There I was blowing Jack when I felt a mouth on my pussy. When I saw it was you, I almost bit my husband's cock."

"It didn't take you long to get used to it, did it?"

Shaking her head, Sarah said, "No, not long at all. What even surprised me more was that I liked returning the favor. Sometimes I don't know who I am anymore. Things that once repulsed me now turn me on."

"You're just coming out of your shell, Sarah. I would think you'd enjoy the change," Ellen told her.

"Enjoy it? I love it!"

"Well, I guess I should get started on dinner. Our husbands will be home soon and I'm sure they will be hungry. Why don't you give Clare a call and invite her and Ted over to join us tonight?" Ellen said.

Sarah called Clare, asking her to come to Ellen's house for dinner. Sarah told Ellen that Clare and Ted would be there.

The two women began preparing dinner. Ellen had taken dolphin out of the freezer earlier and planned to serve the fish with roasted redskin potatoes, southern green beans, and a tossed salad. Sarah snapped the beans while Ellen prepared the potatoes for the oven.

Harry and Jack came in the back door. They were talking about a meeting they had with Don, Marc, Jerry, and Sam.

"How are you, Honey?" Ellen asked Harry as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I don't think I could be much better, Baby. I had a meeting with Don, Mark, Jerry, and Sam today. They're thinking about buying the seventy-five foot hull I have in the shed," Harry said.

"What do they want that boat for?" Ellen asked.

"I'm not sure, but they have something in mind. Don wants to know how much it would cost to finish it as a long-range convertible. I think he wants it for his kids," Harry said.

"They want another boat for their kids?" Sarah asked in surprise. "Isn't the yacht enough?"

"I think they're realizing the yacht will be a bit much for fishing and pleasure cruising. That and if they have a good charter business, it won't be available. The lawyer and money manger did a lot of talking that I couldn't hear. They probably have some tax angle they're looking at," Harry said.

"How long will it take you to finish the boat if they do want it?" Sarah asked.

"It depends on what they want. It could take anywhere from three to twelve months. The hull is complete, that takes the most time. Don and Marc had another request. They want our kids to be involved in the design if they do decide to purchase it," Harry said.

"Our kids, why?" Ellen asked.

"From what Don said, he feels Eddie, Jenny, Brad, and Kathy know what should be included in a fishing boat," Jack said. "I've listened to Eddie and Brad when we've been out. They have some great ideas about how a sport fisherman should be laid out, at least as far as the flying bridge and cockpit goes."

"Have they talked about the cost?" Ellen asked.

"No, I brought it up, but Don and Marc said if they decide to do it, they want it done right. From what I've learned working on Tomiko with them, money isn't an issue. They aren't the kind to pinch pennies."

"Jeri, the captain, asked to have all the electronics in the pilothouse and the flying bridge upgraded. When I told her the cost, she didn't bat an eye. Jeri called the kids and then told me to do it. It cost them over a hundred grand to make the changes," Harry said.

"Wait until you see what Joanne has planned. They're spending a small fortune decorating the yacht. It's going to be very beautiful when she's finished," Jack said. "Joanne is great to work with. She gives me a lot of latitude regarding the finishing touches."

"I can't imagine what it would be like to have that much money," Ellen said.

Sarah chuckled and said, "If those folks keep buying boats, you might find out."

"I don't think so, but they are certainly spending a lot with our company," Harry said. "Don and Marc are supposed to let me know about the seventy-five footer in a day or two."

Ted and Clare showed up and joined the group. Clare pitched in to help Ellen and Sarah finish preparing dinner while Ted talked with Harry and Jack.

Harry fixed all of them drinks and Jack set the table. While they were eating, the telephone rang. Harry answered the phone, talked for a few moments and then returned to the table.

"Speaking of Don and Marc, they're on their way over. They want to talk about the boat," Harry said as he sat down. "From the sounds of it, they are going to buy it." Harry raised his drink. "Here's to what is looking like a great year!"

The group all raised their glasses and congratulated Harry. They finished their meal while talking about what Don and Marc may want. Harry figured they wanted to buy the boat because they were making a trip to the house.

Harry, Jack, and Ted took care of the dishes while the women went to the store for snacks and more booze. An hour later, Don, Marc, Jerry, Sam, and their wives showed up. Harry invited them in, leading the group out to the patio.

"Sorry to bother you at home, Harry, but we're leaving in a couple days and we wanted to take care of a few things before we leave," Don said. "Marc and I have been talking with Jerry and Sam. We're going to have you finish the boat we talked about."

"I don't know what to say, Don. Thank you," Harry said.

"You're welcome. Now, what do we have to do to get started? I don't want the project to take any time away from Tomiko. The yacht is more important than the fishing boat," Don said.

"The finish work on Tomiko is being done by different workers, Don. We have a different crew that will work on the seventy-five footer until it's ready to finish. By then, Tomiko will be ready for delivery. I can put on more men if I have to," Harry said.

Ellen and Sarah served cocktails while the men sat around one of the tables talking. Once everyone had what they wanted to drink, they all sat together and the entire group was able to hear what was going on.

"How about the design? Who will be providing the final plans?" Harry asked.

"We want Eddie and Brad to have input on the design of the flying bridge and the cockpit. Jenny and Kathy should provide ideas for the staterooms, galley, salon, and the interior. You can use your engineers and architects to do the final blueprints," Don said.

"If that's what you want. Do you mind me asking why?" Harry said.

"We've heard your kids talking, and we have talked to our kids. It seems that Eddie and Brad have some good ideas on how a fishing boat's designed. We expect you and your engineers to guide the two boys, but Eddie and Brad should provide the ideas.

"We would also like Jenny and Kathy to be involved. They should take on the interior design. Joanne will help them by providing decorating ideas and making sure the space works," Don said. He took a sip of his drink and went on. "We don't expect them to work for free so I want you to pay them for their time. You can add their wages to the cost of the boat."

"What are you planning to use the boat for?" Ellen asked.

"Fishing of course," Marc said. "We think we can add value to our charters by offering deep sea fishing. Our kids plan to take the clients out on excursions while they're on a charter."

"They could do that with a smaller boat, couldn't they?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, but they want to offer luxury charters. Jeri thinks we can add revenue to the charters by offering fishing. She also said the bigger the boat, the more the clients will pay. When the boat isn't booked it will give the kids something to fish from," Don said.

"Don't forget to tell them about Yoshi," Anne said.

"Yoshi is probably going to be the chef on Tomiko. We'll want him to help with the galley design," Marc said.

"There is one other thing; we don't want Jack, Kim, Tom, and Sally to know about this yet. Please tell your kids to keep it quiet for now," Don said. "Now, what do you need to get started?"

Chuckling, Harry said, "Well, your credit is good so I'm not worried about getting paid. I assume I'll work with Jerry and Sam like I am with Tomiko. As far as getting started, I'll have the architect get started on the layout tomorrow. He has one other project going on and should have plenty of time to work on this boat too. As far as our kids go, do you want me to tell them they have jobs or do you want to do it?"

"We want you to do it, Harry. Maybe we shouldn't even tell them the boat is for us, not yet anyway. You could just tell them you have a client and want their input," Marc offered.

Over the next two hours, the men talked about the boat while the women chatted about other things—mostly their children. Ellen and Sarah made sure everyone had fresh drinks and there were snacks available.

"What you folks are doing for our kids is great," Ellen said. "I'm still a little unsure why you want them involved."

"You have to understand Don and to some degree Marc. They seem to have a need to help people be successful. We have friends back home, Dianne and Bob. Don, Marc, and Jerry bought a golf course and made them partners. Our husbands invest the money. Bob and Dianne provide the sweat equity for their share," Marge said.

"We're very lucky to be in the position we're in. We also remember how it was before we had money. Don likes to share, but he doesn't just give it away—he provides opportunity. He calls it a hand up instead of a hand out," Anne said. "I'm not sure what my brother has up his sleeve."

"You have helped Jack and me. His business was good, but he really loves working on the yachts. If you hadn't bought Tomiko, he'd probably still be redoing kitchens and things like that. Jack used to work twelve hours a day. Now he has more normal hours," Sarah said.

Ellen laughed and said, "I'll bet he isn't too tired to take care of you anymore."

Sarah gave Ellen a look and then she laughed too. "He has all the energy he needs now, Ellen."

"Did you guys bring your suits? We could go for a swim if you'd like to," Ellen said.

Anne, Joanne, Marge, and Liz looked at each other. Anne giggled and said, "We didn't bring suits, but we don't need them if you don't mind us skinny dipping."

"I'll get some towels," Ellen said as she got up from her chair.

The women removed their clothing, placing the garments on the lounges. They entered the pool and began milling around in the water. Harry, Jack, and the rest of the men watched their wives for a few minutes. Don got up, pulling his shirt over his head.

"I don't know about the rest of you, but that looks refreshing. I'm going to join the women—they look a lot better than you guys," Don said.

The rest of the men laughed. They all began removing their clothing. While the men were stripping, the women watched. When Don was naked, Sarah let out a muffled gasp.

"Christ, Marge, that thing is huge!" Sarah said while she watched Don, causing the women to start laughing. "Your husband's cock is very impressive, not that any of them are shabby."

The men jumped into the deep end of the pool. They swam and treaded water for a few minutes before joining the women. The group stood in waist deep water glancing at one another. Jack moved behind Sarah, putting his arms around her waist. Moving his head close to hers, he kissed her neck.

"Are you okay?" Jack whispered to his wife. She nodded as her eyes moved from one male crotch to another. "Bring back memories?"

Sarah turned in Jack's arms. She looked up, smiling at him. "Yeah, it does bring back memories, Honey. It's been a long time since I've been around this many naked men."

"We can go if it bothers you, Sarah," Jack told her.

"No, I'll be fine. You are going to be in trouble later though," Sarah said with a giggle.

"That kind of trouble I can handle!" Jack said with a chuckle.

The group began to get comfortable with one another's nudity. While they had all been naked around others, it still took a few moments of adjustment.

"Anyone need a drink or something?" Ellen asked.

"I could use one," Sarah said.

The group left the pool to get their drinks and returned to the pool, sitting on the steps while enjoying the evening. After a half hour in the pool, they got out and Ellen passed out towels. The group sat around together, chatting about several different subjects.

Ted and Clare shifted nervously. "Are you two new to this, Clare?" Marge asked when she noticed them.

"Um, yeah. Ted and I have been naked before, but not with so many people," Clare said.

"We can get dressed if you're uncomfortable," Marge said.

"Thanks, but I think I'll be okay. It's just going to take some getting used to," Clare said softly. "Ted and I have gone skinny dipping with these guys before." Clare used her hand to point to Ellen, Harry, Jack, and Sarah.

"All of us are very comfortable being naked," Anne said. "Marge, Don, Marc, and I have been doing it since we were kids. Liz, Jerry, Sam, and Jo have joined our group recently."

Ted chuckled and said, "My daughter opened my eyes. She has convinced me there is nothing wrong with being nude."

"Your daughter is right, Ted—there is nothing wrong with it," Anne said. "Our families practice naturalism when we can. We spent a week at a naturist resort recently—we had a blast. I don't know if we'll ever do it again, but I'm glad we did it once."

"Do you guys ever do more than just be nude together?" Ellen asked, causing the group to fall silent. She put her hand on Harry's arm and chuckled. "We've been known to engage in a little extracurricular activity. At least Sarah, Jack, Harry, and I have—I don't know about Ted and Clare."

"I knew it!" Clare said. "I told Ted you guys were close, if you know what I mean. Ted and I have talked about it, but we've never done anything. We haven't been together that long."

"Recreational sex isn't for everyone. In fact it's not for many people. To enjoy it you have to be able to put aside jealousies. It's all about pleasure. Pleasure from doing it and pleasure from watching it," Ellen said calmly.

"You like watching your husband having sex with another woman?" Clare asked.

"I do," Marge said. "Watching Don is very exciting for me."

"Watching you is exciting for me too, Baby," Don said.

"You guys talk like it's a sport or something," Ted said.

"Not a sport. There's no competition involved. No one is trying to out do the other. We all just have fun. Sometimes we're laughing so hard it's hard to finish," Marc said.

"What do you do, just grab someone, and start having sex?" Clare asked.

The group laughed at Clare's question. "Not always, sometimes we just end up with someone other than our spouse," Joanne said. "I used to be one of those women that didn't like sex, but now I love it."

"I can relate to that," Sarah said. She gave the group an abridged version of her story, telling them about her teen years and her destructive behavior. Sarah went on, telling about how she changed after being married to Jack.

"Once the twins were born, I shutdown sexually. Poor Jack had to put up with me, and my prudish thinking. I almost lost Jack and my children because of the way I thought and behaved." Sarah smiled at Ellen. "Finally, Ellen talked some sense into me and helped me change. Now I enjoy sex, my children and husband are much happier and so am I."

When Sarah finished, Clare sat shaking her head. "You were lucky your family stood by you. My ex-husband was a real jerk! He used to beat Cindy and me. We lived in fear until the bastard left me for some chick in Texas. After I met Ted, my life changed for the better. Ted and I are going to get married soon."

"That's great, Clare. When is the wedding?" Ellen asked.

"We haven't set a date yet. Ted and I have decided to sell our houses and buy a larger one. We want Cindy and Erin to have their own rooms. We also want a pool," Clare said. "Once we move, we'll set a date for our wedding."

"How do the girls feel about you two getting married?" Sarah asked.

"Erin and Cindy are happy for us. They're excited about being sisters and living together. It's going to take some adjustment, but I think we'll do fine." Clare put her hand on Ted's arm, smiling at him. "You know, Sarah, you have lived one of my fantasies—being with a group of men at the same time."

"I think a lot of women have that fantasy, Clare," Liz said and then she chuckled. "Some of us get to fulfill our fantasies."

"I would think there would be problems with sleeping with each other, even if everyone agreed. Isn't it human nature to be jealous and possessive?" Ted said.

"Yes, to some degree it is, Ted. Jealousy is an emotion, an emotion that can cause problems in a relationship. Jealousy is born out of fear and insecurity. Left to fester, jealousy can destroy a relationship faster than anything. It can make a person think there are things going on that in fact aren't.

"The next thing you know, you start accusing your spouse or lover of doing things they may not be doing. Those accusations lead to arguments and hurt. Some people just say, 'Fuck it, if I'm going to be accused of it, I may as well do it' and start cheating. What we do isn't cheating. We all know exactly what we're doing. We also know who is involved.

"Our group is able to put those emotions aside and replace jealousy with love and pleasure. Not the love a couple shares, but love nonetheless. I have no desire to have sex without feelings. I wouldn't even consider having sex with a stranger for the sake of having sex," Don said as the rest of the group listened. He took a drink from his glass and smiled.

"I don't like certain foods—I don't eat them. Our lifestyle is the same, if it isn't for you, don't do it, but don't chastise us for doing what we like. Monogamy is defined by society, so is what we do. We have our own society, one that not only approves of what we do, but embraces it. After all, isn't a society just a group of people that share common beliefs and cultures?

"What we do doesn't hurt anyone. Like religion, our lifestyle is up to the individual. If you're not happy with what you've been taught, you can seek alternatives."

"Your views make some sense, but isn't sex without commitment a bit ambiguous?" Ted asked.

"Who says we're not committed to one another? Any of us would do anything for the others. Sex isn't the purpose of our relationships, just one of the pleasures. We are able to enjoy one another's bodies as well as all of the other things that come with friendship," Marge said.

"Marge is so right about that! Having friends you can confide in and be completely open and honest with is the real benefit we enjoy. I can say what's on my mind or how I'm feeling without the fear of being judged. That alone has made my marriage great and maybe even saved it," Joanne said.

"I don't see how having sex with someone other than your partner can make a marriage better," Ted said. "My ex-wife did and it destroyed our marriage."

"If I had to guess, your ex cheated on you, Ted. I don't know why she did it and I doubt you do either, but it probably had something to do with a lack of communications or common interests. We don't have that problem because we can and do talk. We are able to explore our fantasies without feeling guilty about them. We can talk without the fear of reprisal," Marc said.

"That is so true! I know being able to talk about our fantasies, even if we don't do them, makes our marriage stronger. Ellen can point out a guy and tell me she would like to get into his pants—I can tell her the same thing about a woman I find attractive." Harry chuckled. "Sometimes we role play and pretend we're with someone else—sometimes we are. We don't usually get involved with strangers, but we have on a few occasions."

"Jerry, Sam, you two are very quiet. Do you agree with what's being said?" Ted asked.

"I sure do, Ted. I went from a mediocre sex life to one that keeps me hopping—and that doesn't include the things Liz and I do with the rest of these folks. We also talk now, something we hadn't done in years. I became so wrapped up in my work that I put aside the things that are important to me—my family. While sex isn't the most important thing we do, it ranks right up there," Jerry said.

"Joanne wouldn't let me see her naked very often and now I can't keep her clothes on her. I'm not complaining, mind you! Jo has discovered herself and I'm reaping the rewards," Sam said.

"What did you find out about yourself, Joanne?" Clare asked.

"There are so many things I've discovered—I don't know where to start. Finding out how pleasurable sex can be is was one of the best, but not the most important. Being able to talk to Sam is the greatest thing that I've gained. The funny thing was that it took sex to get me to open up and be able to confide in him.

"I think it's because of how I was brought up. I grew up learning that sex wasn't for enjoyment. That changed for me and now I love to have sex and make love." Joanne giggled and took a sip of her drink. "I knew Liz and Jerry but not the rest of the group. When I met them for the first time, their kids were all skinny-dipping. I was shocked and embarrassed.

"I didn't go skinny-dipping with the rest of them. Not that day. Liz talked to me—shit, she shocked me! I never knew anyone did the things she told me about let alone someone I knew, or thought I knew. To make a long story short, my husband made love to me that night—before that, we just had sex. Over the next few days, I changed and I've never looked back.

"My husband went down on me for the first time, teaching me the joy of oral sex. I went down on him and discovered that what I had always considered nasty was anything but. Before I knew it, I was having sex with Liz and then the rest of the group. By the time we went back to Michigan, I was a new person." Liz looked at Don and said, "Can I tell them about my new business?"

"Sure, Liz, if you want to," Don replied with a wink.

Liz grinned, took a drink, and continued. "I know from listening to us it sounds like all we do is have sex, but that's not true. I went to school to become an interior decorator. After I graduated, I wasn't able to find a position in my field so I went to work selling furniture. Don, Marc, Marge, and Anne changed all that and now my dream is finally coming true.

"In order to be successful as a decorator, you have to have references. In order to get references, you have to work as a decorator—it's a vicious circle. These guys have hired me to decorate Tomiko and their new house in West Palm. I now have a chance to get the references I need to get more clients."

"I can relate to that, Joanne. I know that in my own practice it was hard to get started. Being a CPA and not working for a known firm is difficult at best. When I moved down here I had a couple of clients, but it took a couple years to build my business," Ted said.

"By the way, Jo, it seems you have another project. Our husbands have decided one yacht isn't enough so they bought another one," Anne said.

"It's a fishing boat," Marc said.

"A seventy-five foot boat isn't a fishing boat, it's a yacht!" Anne shot back at her husband, causing Marge to chuckle.

"Boys and their toys. What's a woman to do?" Marge said.

Laughing, Anne said, "Shop of course. I know a nice little lingerie shop where we can pick up a few nice things."

"What shop are you talking about? Ellen manages a shop in West Palm called Sheer Delights," Harry said.

"That's the one I like the best," Joanne said. "It cost Sam a small fortune the last time I was there."

"It was worth every penny too!" Sam said. Every one laughed.

"Sally told me she and Kim were going to look for the uniforms at your shop, Ellen. Sally said Jenny told her about it," Anne said.

"Jenny told me she mentioned it to the girls. I think we can take care of anything they need. I have several top-end suppliers. If the normal channels aren't suitable, I also have access to a few custom tailors," Ellen said.

"Um, how soon do you need me to start on the new boat, Don? I'm getting pretty busy," Joanne said.

"Soon I hope. We can talk about it later. I don't want our kids to know about the boat, not yet. You'll be working with Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy on the project," Don said.

Joanne raised her eyebrows. She wasn't too sure about working with the four teens, but Don seemed to know what he was doing so she didn't question him.

The group from Michigan decided to call it a night. Don, Marc, Jerry, Sam, and their wives dressed while thanking Ellen and Harry for the evening. Jerry and Harry agreed to talk to each other the next day to take care of the required paperwork for the new boat.

"What do you think of them?" Ted asked when Harry and Ellen returned to their seats.

"I think they're very nice—maybe a little strange, but nice. To me, they're just regular people like we are," Harry said.

"They do have a different outlook on life, don't they?" Clare said.

"Their outlook isn't that different than ours, Clare. They can afford more, but they don't put on airs. Jenny told me the kids shop at the discount stores just like our kids do. I also heard the women clean their own houses. While I didn't know them before, it doesn't look like having money has made them weird." Ellen chuckled and said, "I wouldn't mind partying with them. I'll bet they're a blast!"

"I can tell you they are great to work with," Harry said. "Their kids are polite to a fault and listen to anyone that offers suggestions about their yacht. It's nice having a client that knows they don't know a lot about what we do and are willing to let us do our job."

"That is so true," Jack said. "Jeri and April have been great to work with. I don't know what those two are being paid but I do know they're earning it."

"It would be nice to get the contract for the uniforms," Ellen said. "I have a feeling they're not going to skimp."

"Not if they address it like they do the things for the yacht. I can't wait to see what they want for the seventy-five," Harry said.

"Are you sure the kids are qualified to design a boat like that?" Sarah asked.

"I don't know, but we're going to find out. I can't wait to tell them what's going on. I know Eddie has many ideas on how a fishing boat should be designed. He keeps making suggestions when we're out on Lady Guinevere—most of them are very good suggestions," Harry said.

"You better keep your eye on Jenny and Kathy. They will make those folks go broke if you don't," Jack said. "They'll be designing the Taj Mahal or something just as extravagant."

"You know, this could change the course of our kids' lives. If they're successful, they may decide to follow a career path in the industry," Ellen said.

"That wouldn't be all that bad. We could pass the business down when I decide to retire," Harry said with a chuckle.

"Do we have any templates that will work for a convertible, Harry?" Jack asked.

"No, but it won't be too hard to create one. I have been thinking about it since Don and Mark mentioned their interest in the hull. I think this is going to be a good year for us. We have Tomiko to finish. We have the one seventy that was ordered to start and now we have the seventy-five—hull number 131," Harry said.

"I wonder what they're going to name the new boat," Ellen said.

"I have no idea, but it doesn't matter right now. They don't need to think about that for a few months," Harry told his wife.

"What will the boat cost them?" Clare asked.

"I don't know yet. It all depends on what they want done. The hull as it sits is just over a million. I don't have that much in it though. When the man that ordered it passed away, his family just walked away from it. He had paid me a million already," Harry said.

"Are you going to pass along any savings to Don and Marc?" Jack asked.

"Probably, they haven't asked about it, but I'm pretty sure Jerry will. They're rich, not stupid. It doesn't matter to me, I'm just happy to get it out of the yard," Harry said. "I'm going to be fair with them."

It began getting cool so the group dressed. They went into the house, gathering in the kitchen. Ellen put on a pot of coffee while Sarah and Clare put away the snack food and placed the glasses in the dishwasher. Harry called Eddie and told him to bring Kathy and Brad to the house because their parents were there.

While they were sitting at the table, Eddie, Jenny, Brad, and Kathy came in. After a brief greeting, Harry asked the teens to sit down.

Chapter 16


"We have decided you kids need to get a job to pay for your fishing," Harry said, trying his best to keep a straight face.

"Okay, Dad, I can apply at a few of the restaurants in town," Jenny said. Kathy agreed, saying she would too.

"Well, I was thinking about having you do something else, something a bit more challenging," Harry said, glancing at his wife, Jack, and Sarah. "I have an order for a boat and need some additional help."

"Working at the boatyard, Mr. Shockley?" Brad asked.

"Yes, working at the boatyard with your dad and me."

"What are we going to be doing?" Kathy asked. "Sweeping and stuff like that?"

"No, I need you kids to help design a fishing boat. I sold the seventy-five foot hull I have in the shed. My client wants a long range convertible."

Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy just sat and stared at Harry. After a moment, Eddie said, "You're kidding, right?"

"No, I'm not kidding. It seems that this client has read about you kids and feels you will be able to offer good suggestions for the boat. You will be working with my architects and engineers on the design. Eddie, I want you and Brad to concentrate on the superstructure, the flying bridge and the cockpit. Jenny and Kathy will work on the interior. I don't have much information on the requirements yet, but I should have them in a few weeks.

"I think it would be a good idea to begin doing some research on large convertibles. Make sketches and notes so you're prepared when you meet with the architects. Once they have the drawings made, they will create the blueprints for the engineers. If this is something you kids don't want to do, you have to let me know so I can make adjustments to the plan," Harry said.

"I can't believe it! I have a lot of ideas, Dad. I don't have to think about it, I'm in," Eddie said. "The four of us are always talking about what the perfect fishing boat would be like."

"Good, but I want you to remember that it's what the client wants, not you guys. We have to take their ideas and requirements into consideration when we start the design. I just found out today so I don't have much more detail that that."

"When can we meet the client and get started?" Eddie asked, his excitement making it hard for him to sit still.

"I don't know, Eddie. As I said, they just agreed to buy the boat today. There are things we have to go over before we begin. In the mean time, learn as much as you can. There are books in my office and at the library that will help," Harry said. "Use what you've learned on our boat and the other boats you've been on. Take the best features from each one and see if they fit."

"Dad, do you have the original plans for the boat? It may help us," Jenny said. "How many staterooms are there going to be? How about heads? How big is the salon?"

Harry laughed as he told his daughter to slow down and take a deep breath.

"Mr. Shockley, how many staterooms can you put on a boat that size?" Kathy asked.

"It all depends on the design, Kathy. If you have large staterooms three or four, if they're smaller, you could put six in the hull. From what the client told me, the boat is going to be for fishing, not cruising. I think they are more interested in function than luxury. I know you kids are excited, but you're going to have to be patient. Trust me, you will be busy before you know it," Harry said.

"I think you kids should get to bed, you have school in the morning," Sarah said. "Jack, we should get going too."

Jack and Sarah told everyone goodbye and left with Brad and Kathy. Ted and Clare left too, telling the rest of them they would see them soon. Jenny and Eddie went to their rooms to get ready for bed.

"Can you believe we're going to be designing a boat?" Eddie said as he walked into his sister's room.

"No, isn't it great? I can't wait to get started, Eddie. You know, we never found out if we were getting paid," Jenny replied as she removed her clothes. "I don't really care if we get paid or not, I still want to do it."

Eddie sat on the edge of Jenny's bed, watching her move around the room. She was wearing a pair of burgundy bikini panties and matching bra. Jenny removed the bra, hanging it on a knob on her dresser. Turning toward her brother, she scratched the underside of her breasts.

"You and Brad have fun this afternoon?"

"Yeah, we did, how about you and Kathy?"

"We did too. I kind of wanted all of us to fool around together though."

Jenny sat next to her brother. She picked up her tank top, pulling it over her head. "Why?"

"So you and I could be together too, Jen. I really miss being close with you—I miss it a lot."

"I know, so do I, Eddie. Why did we decide to stop anyway?"

"Got me, wasn't it you and Brad that wanted to be exclusive?"

"We thought we did, but I think we were wrong. Brad and I talked about it today. He said he wanted to be able to have sex with Kathy—I told him I understood. Eddie, we all love each other and I don't see why we can't go back to the way it was. Brad and I still want to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but we want to..." Jenny leaned her head against Eddie's shoulder.

"I'll talk to Kathy, Jen. I like having sex with her, but I love when we do it. There has always been something there that I never felt when I was Kathy, at least not as strong as I do with you."

"We're all screwed up, aren't we, Eddie?" Jenny said as she wrapped her arms around her brother.

"Not really, we're just in love, Jen—there isn't anything screwed up about that."

"I don't think so, but what about everyone else?" Jenny asked.

Eddie chuckled. "Okay, everyone else is screwed up."

"Do you think Brad and Kathy are as confused as we are?"

"Truthfully, I think it may be worse for them, they're twins. I've read that twins share something special."

Jenny released her brother. She slipped under her sheet, holding it open for Eddie. He removed his shorts, climbing in next to her. They kissed for a moment and then snuggled together, falling asleep in each other's arms.

When she woke up the next morning, Jenny knew what she wanted and what she needed to do. She shook Eddie's shoulders, kissing him when he opened his eyes.

"Get up, we have to go to school," Jenny said as she straddled his body. Sitting on his stomach, she leaned forward and kissed Eddie again.

"What's gotten into you?" Eddie asked.

"Nothing, but we don't have time to fix that right now. I'm going to take a shower, if you don't come in and wash my back, I'll never forgive you."

"What about Mom and Dad?"

"I'd rather have you wash by back," Jenny said and then she giggled. "I'll go tell them we going to shower together, they don't mind."

"You're acting weird this morning, Jenny!"

"So what? Get up!"

Jenny went to the bathroom, striping her tank top off on the way. After using the toilet, she started the shower. Eddie came in to join her. While they showered, Jenny sang. Once they were finished, Eddie and Jenny dressed for school. Jenny picked out a short sundress knowing how much her brother and Brad liked it when she wore a dress or skirt.

"Morning, Mom," Jenny said as she skipped into the kitchen.

"Good morning to you. Why are you in such a good mood this morning?" Ellen said.

"I just am. What's for breakfast?"

"I made eggs and bacon. Your mood wouldn't have anything to do with the fact your brother spent the night in your room would it?"

"Kind of, but not entirely. You're not mad at me are you? It isn't Eddie's fault, I asked him to stay with me last night," Jenny said as she sat at the table.

"No, I'm not mad—just curious. Is everything okay between you and Brad?"

"Yup, just perfect, everything is perfect!"

"Are you going to tell me what's up then?" Ellen asked.

"Yes, but you have to wait until later. I have to do something first. Don't worry, no one is in trouble, Mom," Jenny said.

After breakfast, Eddie and Jenny left to pick up Brad and Kathy. When Brad got into the van, Jenny threw her arms around his neck. She gave him a kiss and then plopped into her seat. Kathy noticed Jenny's mood and asked why she was so happy.

"We have to talk, no, I have to talk and you have to listen," Jenny said.

"About what?" Brad asked.

"About us, all of us. I think we're fooling ourselves and it has to stop. Brad, I love you and I know you love me. I also know Kathy and Eddie love each other. The problem is I also love Eddie and I'm not talking about like a brother.

"Brad, Kathy, did you two have sex last night?" Jenny asked. When she saw their reaction, she said, "I thought so. Look, why should we have to feel guilty when we do what we all love to do? Why can't we just have fun and make love with who we want, when we want? I don't know about you two, but I don't want to feel like I'm doing something wrong when Eddie and I have sex."

Kathy got out of her seat and moved to where Jenny was sitting. The two girls hugged and then Kathy said, "Oh my God, you are so right! I do love Eddie, but I love Brad too. I never wanted to hurt you or Eddie." Kathy giggled, pulled her head back and said, "How about you and me?"

Jenny started giggling too. She put her hand under Kathy's skirt and then into the leg opening of her panties. Kathy let out a moan when Jenny's finger penetrated her. Jenny fingered Kathy for a moment before removing her hand. Holding her moist finger in the air, Jenny said, "Hmmm, it looks like Brad did some banking this morning. It seems he made a deposit!" Jenny sucked her finger clean and giggled. "Yup, I'd know that taste anywhere!"

The four teens broke into laughter. Kathy grinned, her face turning pink from blushing. After giving Jenny a quick kiss, Kathy returned to her seat. While Eddie drove to school, the four of them chatted about the project that lay ahead of them. They decided to get together after school to begin placing their ideas on paper.

Jenny and Kathy met for lunch. They sat at a table away from the other kids so they could talk.

"I wanted to talk to you about Brad and me, but I didn't know how to say it," Kathy said quietly. "I'm so glad you said what you did."

"I'm glad you understand, Kathy," Jenny said. "It isn't that I want to have sex with Eddie all the time, I just don't want to feel bad when I do. To be honest, I want to cool things down for a while. I love Brad, but I'm not ready to be completely committed to the relationship."

"You're right; we're too young to be all tied down. I don't want to date anyone else, but like you, I don't want to feel that I can't have a little fun too." Kathy took a bite of her sandwich. After swallowing the food, she said, "I don't think Brad or Eddie will have a problem with it, Jen. As long as they're having sex, they'll be happy—and so will we."

"So, are you going to tell me what happened this morning?" Jenny asked.

Kathy giggled and said, "Brad bent me over the sink while I was brushing my teeth. He screwed me while I finished brushing."

"That sounds so cool! You didn't care?"

"No, not at all. I didn't even care that he didn't make me get off, it still felt good."

"I'll have to try that, it does sound like fun," Jenny said. "You know what I've missed? I miss the times all four of us fooled around in the same bed."

"I think we should fix that, Jen. Where are we going to go to work on our ideas for the boat, your house?"

"We can go to my house. I think we'll start going to the boatyard once we get started. I'm really looking forward to this."

"So am I. Brad and I talked about it last night on the way home. Brad said we should check the internet and see if we can find some floor plans for boats that size. He said we can look at the boat ads," Kathy said.

Finished with lunch, Jenny and Kathy left the cafeteria. They went through the remainder of their classes eager for the day to end. After school, Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy met at the van. The moment they got in they began talking about their ideas for the boat. Eddie said he had made a few sketches.

When they arrived at Eddie and Jenny's house they grabbed snacks and went to work. Brad and Eddie sat at the kitchen table making sketches and discussing what they thought would be the best design while Jenny and Kathy searched the internet for sites where they could get some ideas.

"Are we okay with what the girls want?" Brad asked, taking a break from the drawings.

"Yeah, we're cool, Brad. I think that we were putting too much pressure on ourselves. If we were to keep going the way we were, we could have ended up hurting the girls or us. Jenny's right you know, it isn't about the sex, it's the guilt."

"I hope you still want to be with Kathy, I know I want to be with Jenny. I really care for her."

"You bet I want to be with Kathy! We get along great and I love having her for my girlfriend," Eddie said.

"How about Kim and Sally, what do you think of them?" Brad asked.

"They're both hotties! I would do either of them if I had a chance."

"No shit, I wonder if Jack and Tom would be cool with all of us fooling around. We could really have a hell of a party, couldn't we?"

Eddie laughed and nodded. "Who knows, they may be hip to it. They will be coming back down here in a month or so. We should plan to go fishing and spend the night on the boat."

"It'll be cool when they get their new boat. Can you believe their parents are having a seventy-five foot fishing boat built for them? I guess a yacht isn't enough," Brad said.

"My dad said they might not to get to use the yacht that much, not if their charter business is successful. Besides, their yacht isn't going to be very good for fishing, not for billfish."

Eddie and Brad went back to making sketches and talking about the boat. Jenny came out of the bedroom, hugged Brad and hung over his shoulder. "When you get a minute, Kathy and I have something to show you guys. We found a bunch of cool boats on the internet."

Jenny led her brother and Brad to the bedroom. The two boys stood behind the girls as Kathy started bringing up the sites she and Jenny had found. After looking at a half dozen boats it was obvious there were many possibilities.

"This is fun, but we don't have a clue about what we're doing," Eddie said. "I'm not saying we should stop, but until we have more information from my dad, we have no idea of what we're dealing with. Maybe we can go to the boatyard tomorrow and take a look at the hull and the original blueprints."

"Eddie's right," Kathy said. "Why don't we do our homework and then go swimming?"

The four teens went to the living room to study. Jenny and Kathy sat on the floor, giving their brothers peeks under their skirts while they did their schoolwork. Brad and Eddie sat on the couch, trying not to be too distracted, but it was very difficult.

-------

Jack and Sally sat next to each other on the plane. Kim and Tom sat in front of them and the adults were nearby, waiting for the plane to take off. They were on their way back to Michigan. Joanne had remained in Florida, along with Liz, to take care of the details of the new home. The two women would return home after approving the drawings for the new building that would serve the yacht.

The trip had been fruitful for Tom, Jack, Kim, and Sally. They all had learned many new things and realized they needed to learn much more. Tom and Jack had copies of the manuals for the electronics. Jeri had told them to study the books so they would be able to operate the equipment. April told Kim and Sally to read a few books on setting tables and other things that the crew would be required to do.

"Are you glad to be going home, Sweetie?" Jack asked Sally.

Shrugging her shoulders, Sally said, "I want to go home, but I don't want to have to sleep without you next to me. I've gotten used to it and I don't want it to stop."

"I know, maybe we can ask our parents if we can stay together a few nights a week. I like sleeping with you too." Jack leaned close, kissing Sally's cheek. "It's nice to have someone to snuggle with."

"At least you have Kim to cuddle with when I'm not there—and I have Tom if you don't mind me sleeping with him once in a while."

"Frankly, I'd rather we slept together. I'm going to see what I can do. You and Tom will be moving in soon you know. We won't have to worry about it then," Jack said.

Sally took Jack's hand, holding it with both of hers. She leaned her head against his shoulder. "Jack, I love you."

"I love you too, Sal."

"When do you think we'll go back to Florida?" Kim asked as she looked over the seat at her brother and Sally.

"In about five or six weeks I think, Kim. Jeri will call if we need to go down any sooner," Jack replied.

A flight attendant came by, telling Kim to put her seatbelt back on. She turned around and sat down, fastening the belt around her waist. Tom put his hand on Kim's knee, rubbing her.

"I hope the guest house is ready when we go back," Tom said. "Staying in a hotel gets old."

Kim giggled and nodded. "I want to be able to hang my bra on the doorknob if I want to, or leave my jeans on the floor. Having a maid clean the room is nice, but it doesn't feel homey to me."

"Is that what I have to look forward to, underwear hanging on the doorknobs and dirty clothes on the floor?" Tom said with a chuckle.

"Yup, I'm going to leave them where ever they land when you undress me, Baby!"

Tom laughed and said, "I can live with that."

"What, my dirty clothes or getting me naked?" Kim asked.

"Both, Honey, I can live with the clothing, and I love getting you naked. Are you ready to go back to Mrs. Phillips' and start studying again? We have a lot of catching up to do."

"I guess so, I'm not really looking forward to all the work, but I know we have to do it. Do you think we'll go back to Florida during spring break? I think it's in March," Kim said as she twisted in her chair so she could see Tom better.

"Maybe, I know Jack wants to go back pretty soon. We talked about it last night. He said there isn't a lot for us to do, but he wants to stay close to the progress. I do too," Tom said.

Leaning close to Tom, Kim whispered in his ear. "Baby, I hope you move into our house soon, I've really gotten used to sleeping with you."

Tom gave Kim a quick kiss and said, "I have too. You always have Jack to sleep with until I move in."

"Yeah, and you have Sally!" Kim responded sharply.

"Take it easy, I was just kidding. Are you telling me you don't want to fool around with Jack anymore?" Tom asked.

"Not unless you're there—you AND Sally. You made me fall in love with you and now you're stuck with me."

Sally, hearing her name, stood up to look over the seat in front of her. "What about me?" she asked.

Kim giggled and said, "We were just talking, Sally." Kim released her seatbelt so she could kneel on the seat and talk to Sally without the two passengers in the aisle seats hearing her. "I told Tom I didn't want to fool around with Jack unless you and he were with us," Kim whispered.

"Really? I thought you'd want to—you know," Sally whispered back.

Kim shook her head. "Not anymore, not since I found out what it's like to be in love with Tom. I would really like it if you and Tom didn't do anything when you're alone either. If we're together it's okay with me though."

Sally grinned at Kim and nodded her head. She sat down, leaning against Jack. After a moment, Sally noticed Jack was glancing down. She giggled when she realized Jack could see into her shirt. Sally hooked her finger in her shirt, pulling it away from her chest.

"Is that better?" Sally asked Jack, watching him grin.

"Yup, much better, Babe," Jack replied.

"You're so funny! I'll get naked for you anytime you want me to you know?" Sally told him.

"I know, but its sexy when I see into your shirt and stuff like that."

Sally hugged Jack's arm and said, "I love you so much!"

They landed in Detroit and once their bags were loaded on a cart, they all went out to catch a shuttle to the offsite lot Don and Jerry had parked their cars in. Jack and Tom loaded the suitcases into the back of the Lincoln Navigator Don had bought to replace the Suburban the teens left in Florida. Jerry and Sam loaded Jerry's car with their bags. Jack and Sally rode in the back seat of Jerry's car because there wasn't room in Don's SUV for them.

It was just after three in the afternoon when the two cars pulled into the driveway at Don and Marge's house. The group removed the luggage from the Navigator, taking it into the house. Jerry and Sam accepted the offer of coffee from Marge and went in.

"Do you want me to put our suitcases in the car, Dad?" Tom asked Marc.

"No, I want you to take them upstairs with Jack, Kim, Uncle Don, and Aunt Marge's bags, Tom," Marc replied. "Put your mom's and mine in the recreation room."

Tom didn't know what was going on, but he did what his dad asked. Jack and the two girls helped carry the suitcases upstairs. When they entered the recreation room, Sally let out a screech. What had been the recreation room was now a large bedroom, void of the pool table that had been in there.

"I think we live here now," Sally said as she looked around the room at her parents' furniture. "Let's go see what else has been done."

The four teens went to the guestroom that adjoined Kim's bedroom, finding Sally's clothes in the closet and the dresser filled with her things. Tom's things were in the other guestroom. Jack and Tom were stunned, Kim and Sally giggled. They headed downstairs to find out what was going on.

"Are we going to live here now?" Sally asked her mom.

"Yes, we moved in before we went down to Florida. We moved the things we felt you'd need and put the rest of our things in storage for now," Anne replied.

"Um, do we have to stay in the rooms where our things are or can we change things around?" Sally asked, holding her breath while she waited for her mom's answer.

"Leave things as they are for now, we'll talk later," Anne told Sally.

"Did you move everything?" Tom asked.

"Almost, we still have the exercise equipment and your darkroom," Marc said. "We're having the basement worked on here to accommodate our new arrangement. You can go downstairs and see how far the construction crews are if you'd like."

When they went to the basement, the teens couldn't believe how much different it looked. The once wide-open space had been divided into several rooms. The first room they went into was almost an exact replica of the exercise room in Tom and Sally's basement, right down to the mirrored walls and the television suspended from the ceiling. A door in the room led to a shower and changing room. The pool table was in another room, decorated to look like an old-time pub.

Tom opened the door to his new darkroom, commenting on how nice it was.

"We used to have some fun in your old darkroom, didn't we Tom?" Sally said with a giggle.

"Used to is right! If you want to have fun in your darkroom, you can have it with me," Kim said.

"What's this? Is my little sister getting possessive?" Jack said with a chuckle.

Kim put her arm around Tom's waist, giggled, and said, "Yeah, what's it to you?"

"Nothing, I just never thought you would ever be a one guy girl. I think it's cool," Jack told Kim.

"Does that mean our days of all of us fooling around are over?" Jack asked.

"No, but I don't want to do anything with anyone unless Tom is there too." Kim giggled, glancing at Sally. "At least with guys—right Sal?"

Sally looked up at Jack. He knew what she wanted and nodded his head, giving his approval. Sally grinned as she nodded her head.

Kim was about to ask Sally if she had to have permission to go to the bathroom, but thought better of it. Sally was happy with her relationship with Jack and how she wanted to live was none of Kim's business. If Sally wanted to be submissive, it was up to her.

The four teens went upstairs. Their parents were in the kitchen, drinking coffee with Jerry and Sam. Sam was talking about the families' investments, stopping when he saw the kids. Don told Sam to go on.

"We should be able to finalize the purchase of the property next week," Sam said. "Once we own it, we can begin having it rezoned for single-family homes."

Don noticed the teens' confusion. "We bought some acreage north of here. We are going to develop it into a couple of upscale subdivisions and build homes on it." Don told the kids. "If everything works out the way Sam thinks it will, we'll make a lot of money."

"How much property did you buy, Dad?" Kim asked.

"When we close on the last parcel, we'll have over three hundred acres. Our plan is to build about two hundred homes and a small shopping center. Sam has several businesses interested in leasing stores," Don replied.

"We plan on building larger homes on half acre lots," Marc said.

"Are we going to move into one of them?" Sally asked.

"No, I don't think so. We've been talking about what we want to do now that we have the Florida house and the yacht. It's one of the things we want to talk to you guys about," Marge said. "We want to know what you'd think about spending summers in Michigan and the rest of the year in Florida."

"We don't want you to make a decision yet, we still have a few things to talk about," Anne said. "I think we'll have a family meeting in a day or two. We have a few things to consider first."

"Like what, Mom?" Tom asked.

"Well, school for one thing. You kids aren't ready to take your GED tests yet," Anne said.

"Um, there's something I want to talk to you guys about concerning the GED. I want to graduate rather than taking the test," Jack said.

Sally moved closer to Jack, wrapping her arms around his right arm. She looked up, smiling brightly.

"When did you change your mind?" Don asked.

"I've been thinking about it since we met Jenny, Eddie, Kathy, and Brad. Jenny said something that got me thinking. She said we shouldn't quit the first important thing in our lives. After thinking about what she said, I decided she was right. How can we be successful if we start taking the easy way now?" Jack said.

Don glanced at Kim and Tom, noticing their surprised look. He looked at Marge, smiling when he saw her grin.

"I want to finish school too," Sally said. "I'd like to go to a real school, not be home schooled by Mrs. Phillips or anyone else. I miss school."

"Baby, you can go to a real school if that's what you want—can't she?" Jack said looking at the parents.

"If course she can," Anne said, her voice cracking with emotion. "It's up to you what you and Sally do, Jack."

"How about you, Kim, do you want to go to school and graduate or take the GED?" Tom asked.

"I don't know, what do you think?" Kim replied.

"I guess going to school wouldn't be bad. I don't think any of us realized what we'd be doing regarding Tomiko. I kind of thought we would be more involved with the charters than it appears we're going to be. The chartering is going to be more business than fun like I thought it would be."

"The charter business will be fun, Tom. So will just going out on the yacht. I still want to get my captain's license and learn to operate Tomiko. We can't get our licenses until we're twenty-one so we'll have to be happy being part of the charters when we can rather than actually running them. Jeri is a good captain and we can learn a lot from her—April too," Jack said.

"Well, I guess finishing school is a good idea. Where would we go to school?" Kim asked looking at her brother.

"I'd like to go in Florida. I think it would be cool to go with Jenny, Eddie, Kathy, and Brad. They're really nice and we'd know someone at the school," Jack said.

"What are you going to do for the rest of the year?" Marge asked.

"I wanted to talk to Mrs. Phillips and find out what our options are. The worse thing that can happen is we have to repeat the second semester of this year. Maybe we could get caught up, but we've missed quite a bit because we've been studying for the GED," Jack said.

"I think you'd be surprised how much catching up you can do if you kids put your minds to it," Marc said looking right at Jack. "Personally, I think you're making a wise choice."

"Dad, why did you guys let us decide to take the GED in the first place?" Sally asked.

"We thought you kids should make the decision, not us. None of us were happy about it, but it wasn't really our decision to make. While we could have insisted you finish school, I think you've learned a valuable lesson," Don said, answering for Marc and the rest of the parents.

Sally, overcome with emotion, was unable to contain her excitement. She threw her arms around Jack's neck, repeatedly thanking him. Jack hugged her, holding Sally's quivering body to his.

"It looks like Sally is happy with the decision," Anne said with a chuckle.

"I am, Mom, I'm very happy! In fact, I can't wait to call Jenny and tell her," Sally said. Taking Jack's hand, Sally pulled him toward the stairs. "I'm going to go call her right now!"

"There's a phone here in the kitchen, Sally," Anne said, snickering because she knew Sally wanted to be alone with Jack for a few minutes.

Sally didn't reply to her mom. She continued toward the stairs with Jack behind her. When they got upstairs, Sally led Jack into his room. She took him in her arms, hugging and kissing Jack.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Sally said between kisses. "You are so good to me."

"I knew you wanted to go to school and I decided I would go too, Baby."

Sally gave Jack another kiss, using her tongue to pry his lips open. She held him as tightly as she could while her tongue flicked against his. When she broke the kiss, Sally walked to the phone next to the bed. Sally dialed Jenny's number while Jack stood behind her with his arms around her waist.

"Hi, Jenny, it's Sally," Sally said when Jenny answered the telephone.

"Hey, how are you doing? Did you guys get home okay?" Jenny said.

"Yeah, we've been home for over an hour. Our flight was great and it's good to be here. How are you guys doing?"

While Sally talked to Jenny, Jack moved his hands up to Sally's breasts. He massaged them through her shirt and top, kissing the back of her neck. Sally giggled, wiggling her butt against Jack.

"It's Jack, he's feeling me up," Sally said into the telephone. "The only problem is he's doing it on the outside of my shirt!"

Chuckling, Jack began unbuttoning Sally's shirt. When he had all of the buttons undone, Jack pulled her bra up over her breasts. Sally reached behind her, undoing the clasp of her bra.

Jack covered Sally's breasts with both hands. She giggled, telling Jenny what he was doing.

"The reason I called is to tell you Jack said we could go to school next fall, to a real school. He said he wants to go to school in Florida—isn't that great?"

"Really, that's so cool! I hope you guys can go to the same school we do. I can introduce you to all our friends."

"Ask Jenny if we can go fishing too," Jack said as he moved his hands to the waistband of Sally's jeans.

"Jack wants to know if we can go fishing, Jenny," Sally said, giggling again when Jack undid the button of her jeans.

"Hell yes! We can go whenever you want to. I can't wait to tell Kathy, Eddie, and Brad the good news," Jenny said. "Does that mean you guys are moving to Florida?"

"I think we're going to be here in the summer and live down there during school. I don't really know yet. How is that stud boyfriend or yours?"

Jenny giggled and said, "Brad's fine. We've decided to cool things down for a while though. I love him, but I don't want to be tied down right now. How about you and Jack?"

"We're great, I do what to be tied down—or up," Sally said giggling.

Jack worked Sally's jeans down so he could get his hand between her legs. He rubbed her crotch causing Sally to open her legs as far as she could with her pants around her knees.

Jenny laughed and said, "You want to be tied up? That sounds kinky, and fun!"

"Doesn't it? Well, I better let you go. I think Jack wants something," Sally said. "I'll call you later—okay?"

"Okay, talk to you later, Sally. Tell everyone I said hi," Jenny said.

Sally hung up the telephone. She leaned over, supporting herself on the bed. Jack moved his hands up to the waistband of her panties, pulling them down. Placing his hand between her legs from behind, Jack worked a finger into Sally's vagina. She began to move, pushing back against Jack's hand.

Jack fingered Sally for a few moments. Removing his finger, he stood her up and turned her around. When he offered his finger to Sally, she sucked it into her mouth.

"Mmmm, are you going to fuck me or just tease me, Honey?" Sally said.

"Just tease you for now."

Moving her hand to Jack's crotch, Sally rubbed his semi erect penis. "Want a blowjob?"

"Later, we should go back downstairs right now," Jack said, and then he kissed Sally.

Faking a pout, Sally pulled her panties and jeans up. She removed her bra before buttoning her shirt. They went back to the kitchen to see what was going on.

"I think Sam and I are going to get going," Jerry said.

"Why don't you two stay for dinner?" Marge asked. "We can order Chinese or something."

"That sounds good. Are you sure we won't be any trouble?" Jerry asked.

"None at all. You two know you're welcome around here. You should call Liz and Joanne though," Marge said.

Jerry and Sam agreed to stay. They called the hotel and talked to their wives. Jerry talked to Liz, handing the telephone to Sam when he was finished. After talking to Joanne for a few moments, Sam hung up.

"Our wives are checking out of the hotel. They're going to stay with Jeri and April for the next few days. Jo said it will be better than the hotel and put her closer to the projects she's working on," Sam said.

"That's a great idea," Anne said. "That way Joanne can keep after the workmen so they finish the guest house quickly. She can also get them going on the main house."

"Don't forget the yacht, Mom," Tom said. "Mrs. Mitchell has a lot to do on Tomiko too."

"Jo knows what she has to do. I wouldn't worry about it, Tom," Anne said. "Okay, what are we going to order for dinner? I'm getting hungry."

Marge took a menu out of a drawer. She also grabbed a pad of paper and pen. Sitting at the table, the group began deciding on what they wanted. Marge wrote down the orders as they passed the menu around the table. Jerry offered to pick up the food when it was ready.

Once everyone had selected what they wanted, Marge called in the order. Jerry and Sam left a few moments later to pick up the food.

"Now, what do you kids have in mind for the bedrooms?" Don asked.

Kim, Jack, Sally, and Tom looked at one another. Don chuckled and said, "I see, if you want to change things around, its okay with us. I do want each of you to have your own room if only for appearance. Sally and Jack can share a bathroom and so can Kim and Tom. Just make sure you kids are ready for this."

Looking at Jack, Sally said, "Is that okay with you, Baby?" Jack nodded. "I'm ready, Uncle Don."

"So am I," Kim told her dad.

"Good, now why don't you get started while Jerry and Sam are gone? I'll call you when they get back," Don told them.

Jack, Kim, Sally, and Tom went up to the bedrooms. Working as a team, the teens swapped the clothing into the rooms Sally and Tom would call theirs. They were about half-finished when Don called up the stairs to tell them dinner was there.

Marge and Anne set the tables in the pool area. The group sat down and began to eat while talking about the trip to Florida. Jerry mentioned he was going to see if Liz would be interested in buying a condominium so they could winter in Florida too.

Once they were finished with dinner and the leftovers were stored in the refrigerator, the teens went upstairs to complete the move. The adults relaxed in the pool area while enjoying an after dinner drink.

-------

"We can't thank you enough for inviting us to stay here," Liz told Jeri and April as they put Joanne and Liz's suitcases in the guest room of the apartment.

"No problem, we love having the company," April said. "We can make dinner or go out, it's up to you."

"To tell you the truth, I would rather have something homemade. Restaurant food is getting old," Joanne said. "Liz and I can cook if you don't want to."

"We can all help. Let's open a bottle of wine and put something together," Jeri said.

The four women went into the kitchen. April removed the cork from a bottle of chilled white wine, filling four glasses. Jeri and Liz stood in front of the refrigerator scanning the things on the shelves. They decided on a large salad with ham, cheese and hard-boiled eggs.

They finished one bottle of wine before the salad was ready and April opened another. Once it was ready, the four of them sat at the table to eat.

"I really love what you're doing with Tomiko, Jo," April said. "It's going to be beautiful when she's finished."

"Thank you, I wanted to accent what was there rather than make a lot of changes. The wood on the yacht is wonderful, it would be a shame to hide it or change too much. I just hope the Japanese theme will be acceptable to the clients you hope to attract," Joanne said.

"I think it will. It's going to be unique, that's something that the clients will enjoy. I think the kids are going to hire Yoshiro as the chef. Yoshi would be a great member of the crew and add to the experience," Jeri said.

"How many more members of the crew will you have?" Liz asked.

"It will depend on the number of guests onboard, Liz. If we have four or six, we'll probably have two mates. If there are more guests, we'll have four mates. We want to make sure we have enough crewmembers to pamper the clients. When someone spends the kind of money our clients will be spending, they expect first class treatment," Jeri said.

April chuckled and said, "Expect it, they demand it! They want their every whim catered too. It isn't unusual for someone to want a meal cooked in the middle of the night. We have to be ready to provide what they want."

The four women finished eating. April and Joanne cleared the table, rinsing the dishes and putting them in the dishwasher. Once they cleaned the kitchen, Jeri suggested they relax in the living room.

"If we're staying in tonight, I'm going to get comfortable," April said. "If it doesn't bother you, Jeri and I usually lounge around in our undies—or less."

April removed her top, shorts and bra. She took her clothes into the bedroom, retuning to the living room in her panties. Jeri also stripped down to her panties. Joanne and Liz chuckled, joining the two women. They all sat on the couch, with Jeri and Joanne next to one another, drinking wine and looking out the window at the canal beyond the lush backyard.

"I can't wait until Tomiko is docked out there," Jeri said. "This is very exciting for April and me."

"I take it you like working for the kids then," Joanne said. "I know I love working with the two families."

"It's great for us too. You have no idea how good they are to work with. April and I have put up with a lot of assholes in the past, but these folks aren't anything like them. We are looking forward to running the yacht," Jeri said.

"I think one of the nicest things is that they respect what we say and suggest," April said. "So many owners make demands about things they know nothing about. They can make you feel like you're a peon and like you're stupid. I've never felt that way about any of them."

"Working with Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally has been okay then?" Liz asked.

"Those kids are so nice! They know they don't know and they want to learn. I don't mind answering their questions because they're so sincere," Jeri said.

April refilled the wine glasses. Taking the empty bottle to the kitchen, she returned with a full one.

"Kim and Sally are so cute! I couldn't believe it when they became excited about learning how to fold a napkin of all things. Too bad they aren't a little older," April said with a giggle.

"You dirty old broad! You'd love to get your hands on those two cuties, wouldn't you?" Jeri said.

"What can I say? Like I said, they're cute—they're sexy too!" April said.

Laughing, Jeri put her right hand on April's thigh. She rubbed her for a moment before moving her hand between April's legs. "I guess you'll have to settle for me, Sweetie."

April playfully swatted at Jeri's hand, but opened her legs a little at the same time. "Behave, we have company, Jeri," April said.

"They know we're a couple." Jeri leaned forward so she could see Liz past Joanne. "It doesn't bother you two if we fool around, does it?"

Chuckling, Liz and Joanne shook their heads. Jeri put her left hand on Joanne's leg, stroking her lightly. "Does this bother you?"

Joanne gripped Liz's wrist, lifting her hand away from her leg. She stood up, removed her panties, and sat down again. Taking Liz's hand, Joanne returned it to her leg.

"Now it doesn't bother me," Joanne said with a chuckle.

Laughing, Jeri moved her hand up against April's slightly splayed crotch. She stroked April's mons and said, "I guess it doesn't."

Liz chuckled, got up, and went over to April. She wiggled between April and Jeri, pushing Jeri's hand away. The four women began to touch each other, giggling while they explored. After a few moments, they took a drink from their wine glasses.

"I think you and April are over dressed," Jeri said as she placed her glass on the coffee table. She gripped April's panties, chuckling as she pulled them down her legs. "We need to fix that!"

"It would be nice to go for a swim," Joanne said. "Is the pool ready yet?"

"It sure is. The pool company was here yesterday. We can go down if you'd like to," Jeri said.

Joanne got up, offering her hand to Jeri. Glancing at Liz and April, she said, "Are you two coming with us?"

Laughing, the four of them headed for the pool. April grabbed towels before leaving the apartment. They jumped into the pool, swimming in the refreshing water. Joanne and Jeri moved into the shallow water so they could stand with their heads above water. When Jeri took Joanne in her arms and kissed her, Joanne responded.

"Your husband is going to kill me if he finds out, Jo," Jeri said.

"No he won't. Sam knows Jo goes both ways now." Liz said as she and April came up to Joanne and Jeri. "In fact, both our husbands know we were going to be having some fun."

"How do they know?" Joanne asked Liz.

"I told Jerry I was going to seduce you if you'd let me. He laughed and said he lost a bet to Sam," Liz said as she stood with her arm around April's waist. "Please don't tell me you weren't thinking the same thing I was when we found out we'd be down here together for a few days."

Joanne giggled. "Well, I was really hoping we could."

"I didn't know you two were bisexual," April said.

"Neither did I until a few months ago. Liz introduced me to it, along with many other things," Joanne said.

"I thought your group was very friendly with each other," April said.

Laughing, Liz said, "That's an understatement!"

The women moved out of the water. Jeri led them into the cabana so they could rinse the chlorine off their bodies and out of their hair. While in the shower stall, they took turns washing each other. Liz and Jeri washed one another while Joanne and April did the same. Once they were finished, they dried off before returning to the apartment.

"It's only eight o'clock, why don't we get dressed and go out for a couple hours?" April said when the four women we back upstairs. "Jeri and I know a great little club I think you'd like."

Jeri giggled as she nodded in agreement. It didn't take much convincing to talk Joanne and Liz into going out. The women dried and styled their hair before getting dressed. At April's suggestion, Liz and Joanne wore mini skirts and tank tops. Once they were ready, Jeri called for a cab. The women went down to the driveway, standing together while they waited for their ride.

When the cab arrived the four of them squeezed into the backseat of the car. Jeri told the driver where they were going, sitting back after she did. The ride to the club took about fifteen minutes. Jeri paid the driver before leading the group into the small building.

Inside, Joanne noticed the other people. There were men coupled with men, and women with women. She gripped April's arm, realizing they were in a gay club. The four women found a table. April ordered wine for the group and sat near Joanne. When the disk jockey began playing music, April asked Joanne to dance.

"I've never been to a club like this before," Joanne said to April as they moved to the music.

"It doesn't bother you, does it?" April asked.

"No, not at all, April. I think I'm going to have fun." Joanne moved her hand up and down April's back, pulling her closer.

"Do you and April come here often?" Liz asked as Jeri led her to the dance floor.

"Not really, in fact, we haven't been here since we got the job with Tomiko," Jeri replied, taking Liz in her arms.

"Well, I guess you don't have to worry about being hit on, do you?" Liz asked with a chuckle.

"Not by men," Jeri replied.

While they danced, Jeri moved her hand down to Liz's bottom. Liz was about to react, but didn't when she noticed most of the other couples were touching each other much like Jeri was touching her. She saw two men share a kiss as they danced closely.

"You're apt to see almost anything in here, Liz. Don't be surprised if you see two people getting very close, if you know what I mean."

"Are you telling me people have sex in here?"

"It's happened before—it isn't all that uncommon in this place. It's mostly kissing and touching, but I have seen some pretty wild things before."

"Like what?" Liz asked.

"I've seen one girl put another on a table and go down on her. I've also seen two guys fooling around—you know, one guy giving another a head job or a hand job in a corner. After a while, you learn to ignore it," Jeri said as she kneaded Liz's ass.

Giggling, Liz said, "If you keep that up, you might find yourself on a table!"

"Not me, you're going to have to wait until we get home. I'll do a lot of things in public, but not that," Jeri said. She giggled, kissing Liz on the cheek. "I know you're just kidding, Hon."

Jeri turned Liz around. "It looks like April and Jo are getting along, doesn't it?"

Liz watched Joanne and April kissing, their tongues obviously in each other's mouths. Joanne's hand was on April's breast while April's hand was under the back of Joanne's short skirt. Dancing closer to Joanne, Liz bumped against her.

"Get a room you two," Liz said with a chuckle.

"Why, this is so much fun!" Joanne replied.

The women danced to a few songs, several of them fast. While they danced, their short skirts flipped up, exposing their butts at times. Liz headed to the table to rest and the rest of the group followed.

"I haven't danced like that in a long time," Joanne said. "I'm glad you and Jeri asked us out."

"We don't have to stay real late. Jeri and I have to be at work in the morning," April said.

Liz was going to mention leaving time to fool around, but figured it wasn't necessary. Jeri ordered more wine for them, chatting with the server when she delivered the drinks to the table.

"That's Todd and his partner Angelo," Jeri said, pointing at two good-looking men. "They work on a yacht out of Miami. I captained the yacht with them one time.'

"Wow, what a waste," Joanne said with a giggle. "Those two are hot!"

"They are bi, Jo. They're a lot like April and me, they prefer each other, but they do go out with girls too. I have been to a couple of SF parties with them," Jeri said.

"What is a SF party?" Joanne asked.

Laughing, April leaned close and said, "Sport fucking, SF stands for a sport fucking party. It's where a bunch of people, a lot of them strangers, get together for sex with no strings attached."

"You know, a few months ago that would have repulsed me—now it sounds intriguing," Joanne said. "Sometimes I think I was living in a vacuum, at least since high school."

"You just had issues you had to deal with, Jo. I wouldn't beat myself up over them anymore. You're not the same person you used to be," Liz said.

"What happened?" April asked. "I'm sorry; it isn't any of my business."

"That's okay, April, don't worry about it," Joanne said. She told April and Joanne about her life in high school and the changes after marrying Sam. When she told them about meeting the Graham and Lewis families, April nodded while Liz giggled.

"We all have things in our past, Jo. Some things are good, others aren't. No matter, we move on. I would have never thought I'd end up loving a woman like I love Jeri, but after a few bad relationships, I was ready to try anything. The last guy I was with used to get off on hitting me," April said.

"I still like a nice stiff cock now and then, but I look to Jeri for love and tenderness now. I don't think I could ever feel for a man like I do for her," April continued.

"It's different for me," Liz said. "I like the sex with another woman, but I would never leave Jerry. He is a loving, understanding man and I love him with all my heart."

"That sums it up for me too. I love sex, with men or women, but Sam is my soul mate and sex with him is the best," Joanne said.

"As it should be, Jo. Do you know how few people can achieve a relationship like that—not many? It's hard for most people to set aside petty jealousy and just enjoy life. I know April loves me and me alone. I believe it in my heart. I love her the same way and I don't get all bent out of shape when we have sex with other people," Jeri said.

"That's good because if I have my way, April and I are going to get very close tonight," Joanne said with a giggle.

Jeri put her hand on Liz's shoulder. She pulled her close, kissing Liz tenderly. "I don't think that's going to be a problem, Hon," Jeri said.

Joanne and April got up to dance again. This time, Joanne was much more affectionate than the first time. She ran her hands over April, slipping one under her skirt. When she realized April wasn't wearing panties, Joanne giggled.

"You're a naughty girl, April," Joanne said.

"It's all for you, if you want it," April said in Joanne's ear. "If you touch me, you'll find out how wet I am for you."

Joanne glanced around before slipping her hand under the front of April's skirt. When she felt the heat and moisture of April's sex, Joanne sighed. "Mmmm, I can't wait until I get you home."

"Oh yeah, what are you going to do when you do?" April asked.

"I'm going to eat you until you scream out loud!"

"I think we should go, don't you?" April said with a chuckle.

April and Joanne went to the table, sitting down to wait until Jeri and Liz finished dancing. While they waited, Joanne and April kissed each other. April reached under Joanne's skirt, tugging at her panties. "You should get rid of these things, Hon," April said.

Giggling, Joanne slid under the table a little further. She reached under her skirt, removing her underwear while glancing around to make sure no one was watching. Joanne balled the panties in her hand, handing them to April. April took the garment, brought her hand to her nose and inhaled deeply. Grinning, she put the panties in her purse.

Jeri and Liz returned to the table. April told Jeri it was time to go and that she should call a cab. Jeri nodded and went to the bar to ask the bartender to call a cab for them.

On the ride back to the estate, the cab driver kept glancing in his rearview mirror. April and Joanne kissed and touched like two teens on a date. When the driver pulled into the driveway, Liz paid and tipped him.

On the way up the stairs, April followed Joanne, flipping her skirt up so Liz and Jeri could see her naked bottom. Liz laughed while making comments about Joanne's lack of panties. In the apartment, the women began kissing. They sprawled out on the couch as they turned one another on. The session became frenzied, and soon all four were naked.

Jeri got up from the couch. She took Liz's hand in right hand and Joanne's in her left. Without saying a word, Jeri led the two women into the bedroom. April followed, turning off the lights on the way. After turning down the king size bed, the four women got on it.

"Do you guys want to share one bed or would you and April like to go to the other bedroom?" Jeri asked.

"This is fine with me," Joanne said as she stroked Jeri's leg with one hand and April's with her other hand.

Liz put her hand on Joanne's sex and said, "I guess we'll all play then."

"What me to get the toys?" April said.

Giggling, Joanne said, "Maybe tomorrow night. I'd rather just be together like this."

Jeri began kissing Liz while April kissed Joanne. When Joanne began moving down April's body, covering her with kisses, April told her to turn around.

Chapter 17


When Joanne woke up the next morning, she was tangled with April and Liz. Jeri was lying with her head in the opposite direction as the rest of them. Joanne stretched her arms over her head, smiling as she recalled the events of the night before. She crawled over April, waking her as Joanne got out of bed.

"I have to pee. I'll be back in a minute," Joanne whispered.

April grinned, nodding as she watched Joanne head to the bathroom. Liz and Jeri stirred, yawning as they stretched, and woke up. By the time Joanne returned, the other women were sitting up in bed. Each of them took a turn in the bathroom before they put on robes and went to the kitchen for a cup of coffee.

Joanne couldn't keep from grinning while she sat at the table glancing at the women she enjoyed the previous night with. She chuckled to herself, realizing just how much her life had changed. In a few short months, Joanne had gone from a woman that was indifferent to sex to a woman that thrived on the intimate contact. Now, after spending a night with three women, she had made another step in her sexual journey.

The idea of same sex activities had bothered Joanne in the past, but since Liz, and to some degree Marge and Anne, had introduced her to the joy of being with another woman, she was more than comfortable with being a part of the fun. The night at the club was not only very enjoyable for Joanne, it was a memory that she would cherish for years to come.

April ran her hand over Joanne's hair, snapping her out of the reverie. They shared a smile that quickly turned to giggling.

"Did you enjoy your first all girl orgy?" April asked Joanne.

Joanne nodded, thinking it was an orgy, wasn't it? At first it had been her and April, but once the four of them were in bed, it turned into a sexual free-for-all. The night was a blur of mouths, hands, and orgasms. Joanne couldn't recall who did what to whom, but she knew she had sampled all of the other women at some point.

"Yes, it was different, but I did enjoy it," Joanne said.

Liz chuckled and said, "You've come a long way, haven't you, Jo?"

"I'd like to think so. The sex was great, but I think the most important thing that happened was me getting over any homophobia I had harbored. Being around Marge, Anne, and you, Liz, made me realize there was nothing wrong with having sexual feelings for another woman. Spending time with April and Jeri has taught me love is love regardless of who you love."

"That's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to us, isn't it, April?" Jeri said. "Being in a same sex relationship has its pitfalls when it comes to other peoples' acceptance. While it doesn't carry the stigma it once did, the majority of people still don't understand how two women or two men can have a committed relationship."

"Do you and April consider yourselves lesbian or bisexual?" Liz asked.

"I don't consider us as either. By definition, I guess we would be bisexual because April and I both enjoy men, but only for sex. It isn't a lot different from the way you like women. I don't like being labeled. I love April as my partner as I'm sure you love your husband. We don't hate men; we just don't want to be in a committed relationship with them.

"For some unknown reason many people think a same sex relationship is about sex. It isn't—not anymore than a relationship between a woman and a man is. April and I do the same things any couple does. We like to go out, to share our lives, and be together," Jeri said.

"Megan, my daughter, is in a relationship with another girl. Megan and Lisa have found they love each other and will probably move in together," Liz said.

"I noticed Megan and Lisa were very close the first time I met them," Jeri said. "We talked about being in a same sex relationship. How are Jack and Tom taking news?"

"They seem fine with it," Liz said. "I just hope the four of them can remain friends. Megan and Jack didn't really date that long, but I know they loved each other. From watching, I think Tom and Lisa were in love too."

"Love, or what is seen as love, changes when you're a teenager. I remember how many times I thought I was in love when I was their age," Jeri said. "It looks like Jack and Sally have become a couple—the same with Tom and Kim."

"They have, at least for now. I don't know how that is going to turn out. Sally is a girl that is dealing with some issues," Liz said.

"Sally is a submissive," April said frankly. "The biggest issue she has is the fact other people don't understand how she feels. Sally doesn't have any self-esteem problems like many women who are submissive have. She just knows what she wants. If everyone would leave her alone, she'd be fine. Sally has told me she worships Jack and wants to please him."

"Kim and Tom make a cute couple. I think it's going to take a little time for them to sort out their relationship, but if they stick it out I'm sure they will. To me, Kim seems a bit lost. I don't think she really knows what she wants," Jeri said.

"I didn't know what I wanted when I was fifteen either," Joanne said. "If you think about it, it has to be hard for those kids. They grew up in middle class families and were thrust into the position they're in now. The adjustment has to be hard for them."

"I disagree, Jo. Those two families are still middle class. They just have money. I don't get the feeling they're doing the things they do to be pretentious. I think they are doing what they do because they can," Liz said. "They are helping a lot of people."

"That's very true. I know how much they have helped me. If it weren't for those two families, I'd still be selling furniture instead of being an interior designer," Jo said. "I was referring to the kids, not the parents."

"Those kids have values! Their parents have raised them well, and continue to do so. April and I have been around a lot of rich brats." April giggled as she nodded in agreement. "Most kids of rich parents think their shit doesn't stink and act like everyone is beneath them. Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally have never made me feel that way, not once!" Jeri said.

"It's weird having bosses that are almost half our age, but it isn't a problem, not with them. To me it feels like we're working with them more than working FOR them. At first, I thought we'd be working for the parents, but that's not how it is. The kids are clearly in charge of what's going on with Tomiko. They look to their parents for guidance, but they're making the decisions," April said.

"The two families are different; that's for sure," Joanne said. "It's almost impossible not to adore them, all of them."

"Very true, Jo. You were talking about how they have helped you and your career. They're doing the same thing for April and I. Any captain or first mate's dream is to be involved in completing a yacht and then running her. You have no idea how important that is to have on your résumé. If Tomiko is successful, and I know she's going to be, April and I can go almost anywhere when this gig is over," Jeri said.

April got up to toast English muffins. Joanne helped her, spreading butter on the muffins as they came out of the toaster. After a light breakfast, the women began getting ready for their day. Joanne and Liz used the guest bathroom to shower while Jeri and April used the master bath. Once the women were dressed, they left for the boatyard.

Liz stayed with Joanne as she talked to Jack Waters about a few final touches she wanted. A crew of workers was cleaning the yacht, getting her ready for the furnishings. Below, Jack Waters showed Liz the changes he had made in the guest staterooms.

"We raised the height of the bunks and built storage drawers in the bases. The drawers are lined with cedar like the hanging lockers and the other drawers." Jack pulled one of the drawers open. "April asked for linen storage in each cabin so her mates didn't have to carry clean linens each time they change the beds."

"When will the carpeting be installed?" Joanne asked.

"In a few weeks. We want to make sure we're finished with all the construction before laying the carpet," Jack replied. "We've decided to concentrate on the staterooms so we can finish down here before we finish the upper decks."

Joanne made notes on a pad of paper while Jack Waters went over the progress. She checked the woodwork, commenting on how beautiful it was. Jack showed her a few of the changes he had made to the heads in the guest staterooms. April joined the group while Jack continued to talk.

"We made the showers larger. I'm not sure why, but that's what I was told to do. We also changed the enclosures, using Lexan instead of tempered glass," Jack said.

"Kim and Sally asked for the changes in the heads. They said the showers were too small for two people." April laughed. "I think those two girls have a water fetish. However, I did agree with them. The showers on yachts are usually too cramped. The Lexan was Jack's idea. He said it was lighter and unbreakable."

"Jack's right; it is. Lexan is more expensive, but it's also a better choice," Jack Waters said.

Back in the passageway, Liz pointed at the headliner. "What are those little globes on the ceiling?"

"They're cameras, Liz. All of the common areas of the yacht have them so the captain can see what's going on from the pilothouse. There are also cameras in the engine room and other areas that contain mechanical equipment. Harry tells me it's become very common on yachts," Jack said.

"I know it sounds intrusive, but it also provides great security. In the event one of the smoke or heat alarms triggers, the system will automatically switch to the camera in that area so the captain can see what's going on," April said. "When we have a charter, we'll inform the clients the cameras are there."

"How long will it be before the yacht is finished?" Liz asked.

"I'm going to defer that question to Harry. I can tell you we have added a few additional craftsmen to speed things along," Jack said.

Joanne and Liz left the yacht. They walked to the office so Joanne could talk to Harry about the timeline. When they went in, the receptionist led the two women into the conference room. A few moments later, Harry joined them. He asked for coffee and for the receptionist to page Jeri and April. Harry chatted with Joanne and Liz until Jeri and April arrived.

"Okay, we have a few things to talk about this morning. First, we have moved the delivery date up to the first week of April. Don asked me to add additional people to get it finished," Harry said. "Joanne, you can start ordering the furniture and other things anytime."

"I should be ready by then," Jeri said. "Your crew is busting their asses. I have to test the new electronics, but that shouldn't be a problem at all."

"April, do you have any roadblocks?" Harry asked.

"No, everything is going great. We talked with Jack Waters this morning and he told us his plan to finish the lower staterooms before the upper decks."

"Jack is ahead of schedule. I think we'll be laying carpet by the end of next week. If all goes well, we should have Tomiko ready for delivery the first week of April." Harry looked at Jeri. "Do you have somewhere to put her?"

"Yes, behind the house. The slip is ready even if the house isn't. Joanne will have to kick the contractor into high gear," Jeri said.

After going over the checklist for Tomiko, Harry sat back in his chair and grinned.

"That brings us to our next project. This isn't common knowledge so you have to keep quiet for now. Don and Marc have bought another boat," Harry said. "I have no idea what they have up their sleeves, but something is going on. They hired Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy to design the boat—a seventy-five foot long-range convertible.

"Joanne, I'm sure they are going to want you to do the interior. Jeri and April will also be involved with the design. I think they want to offer deep-sea fishing to the charter clients."

"When are you going to start on the new boat?" Jeri asked.

"We already have. I had the hull in a shed. It was ordered as a raised pilothouse yacht, but the owner died and left me with the hull unfinished. I have a crew working on it as we speak. They're cleaning it up and getting ready to paint the hull," Harry said. "I hope to start setting the main deck in a few weeks. This boat is going to be on a fast track from what Don told me."

"How fast can you complete it?" April asked.

"It depends on the final design, but we should be ready for sea trials in two months if all goes well. As Tomiko winds down, I'll have the crew to make things happen pretty fast. Because it's a convertible, it will take less time than a yacht like Tomiko to finish," Harry said.

After the meeting, Harry ordered lunch for everyone. While they ate the sandwiches, they talked about the two boats. Jack Waters came in to join the group, bringing Harry up to date on what was going on with Tomiko.

"Harry, don't take this wrong, but are your kids qualified to design a boat?" Jeri asked.

"No, of course not, but they do have some good ideas about how a fishing boat should be designed. I have an architect and engineers to do the design. The kids will be offering ideas," Harry said.

"They must be excited," April said, causing Harry and Jack Waters to laugh.

"Those kids haven't talked about anything else since we told them," Jack said. "I think it's a wonderful opportunity for them."

"Don and Marc strike again, right?" Liz said.

"Yes, they sure have. I know the experience will be good for the kids. It will certainly teach them about responsibility and seeing things through. If my guess is correct, our kids will have a chance to fish off the boat too," Harry said. "That will give them a sense of accomplishment."

"Kathy and Brad told me that the four of them planned on coming here after school today so they can get started," Jack said.

"That's what I hear too. I told Parker and Ames to be ready for them," Harry said he glanced at Joanne and Liz. "Cliff Parker is the architect and Leanne Ames is one of the engineers that will be working with the kids on the boat."

"You have a female engineer?" Liz said.

"Yes, and she's one of the best I've ever worked with," Harry said. "She is young and has a lot of talent. Leanne also knows the computer program we use for designing inside and out. I'm old school and I like a pencil, but she can take an idea to paper ten times faster than I can."

Finished with lunch, Jack, Jeri, and April headed for the yacht. Joanne asked to use the telephone so she could call home and Don. She wanted to make sure it was okay to order the things she had selected for Tomiko. Harry led her to his office, telling her to make herself at home.

Joanne called Sam at his office first. When he answered, she said, "Hi, Honey, how are you doing today?"

"Great, Jo, how about you?" Sam replied.

"Wonderful, I'm at the boatyard working on Tomiko. This is so exciting for me."

"I'm glad you are enjoying yourself. Um, Jo, I have something to tell you," Sam said softly.

"I have something to tell you too, Honey. You go first."

"Well, when we got back from the airport yesterday Jerry and I went to Don and Marge's house. We had dinner there and then ended up in the hot tub. After a few drinks, we all got frisky if you know what I mean. I, um, I ended up having sex with Marge and Anne," Sam said.

Joanne giggled, causing Sam to sigh in relief. "I spent the night in bed with Jeri, April, and Liz." She giggled again. "I hope you had as much fun as I did! We went to a club too, a club that is mostly for gay people. I danced with April and had a great time."

"You're not mad at me?" Sam asked.

"Hell no, I'm not mad at all! I'm glad my horny husband was taken care of—I sure was."

"You're not going to come home and tell me you want to be with women, are you?" Sam asked with a chuckle.

"Are you kidding? I can't wait to feel your cock in my pussy or my mouth. Girls are fun, but they don't compare to you in any way shape or form! Sammy, I love you and always will."

"I love you too, Baby. I felt so guilty this morning."

"You don't have to feel that way, Sammy. It isn't as if you went out and picked up a woman to replace me, is it? I mean you have had sex with them before when I was there. If you want to fool around with our friends it's okay with me."

"Jo, there isn't a woman in the world that could replace you."

"Maybe not the new me, but I'm not so sure about the old me. I don't think I would have blamed you if you had found another woman before. Now, I'm going to make sure you never want to look."

"How much longer are you and Liz going to be down there? Don and Marc told me about wanting to have the yacht finished faster. I hope you don't have to stay too much longer—I miss you."

"I have to stay for a few days, Baby. Why don't you and Jerry fly down for the weekend if I have to stay any longer?"

"That sounds like a great idea; I'll run it by Jerry and see if he can get away."

"Okay, I have to get going, Baby. I have to call Don to ask him a few questions," Joanne said.

"Hold on, I'll get him for you. He and Marc are in Jerry's office talking about our real estate deal."

"What real estate deal are you talking about? They're not buying another house for me to decorate, are they?"

"No, they have purchased land and they're going to develop it. They invited you and me to be part of the project. I know I haven't talked to you about it yet, but I said we would love to be involved. I found out about it last night," Sam said.

"It's okay with me as long as we can afford it, Sam."

"We can afford it. Oh, there is something else—Marc, Anne, and the kids moved out of their house. We can move in anytime we want to."

"You're kidding aren't you—why are you teasing me?"

"I'm not kidding. They are living with Don and Marge now. While we were all in Florida, Don and Marc had their things moved. The house is ours. I'm going to put our house up for sale if that's okay with you."

"Go for it, are you going to have us moved by the time I get back?" Joanne asked with a giggle in her voice.

"No, I thought you'd want a chance to have the house painted before we moved."

"We can have the work done while we're living there. As long as we have a bedroom and a kitchen, we'll be fine."

Sam laughed and told Joanne to hold on while he went to get Don. Joanne talked to Don, asking him for approval to purchase the furniture for the yacht. He told her to call the kids later that afternoon, but also told her to go ahead. Once they were finished, Joanne asked for Sam.

"Talk to you later, Baby. Do you have the number for Jeri and April's apartment?"

"I'll get it from Don, Jo. You have a good time. I'll see you in a few days. If you have to stay, Jerry and I are going to fly down on Friday afternoon. We'll stay in touch to work out the details," Sam said.

Joanne and Sam told one another how much they loved each other several times before hanging up. She went to find Liz and go back to work. April saw Joanne and Liz coming toward the yacht and went to meet them.

"I have to run up to West Palm to check on the linens. Would you two like to go with me?" April asked.

"Sure, I want to see how they turned out," Joanne said.

Liz declined, telling Joanne she would stay with Jeri. The two women headed north to West Palm. April parked the car, leading Joanne into Ellen Shockley's shop. Ellen greeted them, taking them to her office.

"Here are the samples," Ellen said as she unboxed several items. "The supplier is ready to go as soon as we tell them to."

Ellen opened a sheet, spreading out on the table. Smoothing it, she glanced up at April. "Well, what do you think?"

"It's perfect," Joanne said while feeling the satin fabric. "The logo came out great!"

"I have to agree. It looks better than I thought it would," April said.

The logo, Tomiko written in Kanji lettering, was silk-screened on the sheet's border so it would show when the bed was made and the sheet turned back. The sample sheet was red with black trim and lettering. Once Joanne and April had examined the sheet, Ellen showed them the matching pillowcases.

Ellen pulled out the towels. Bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, and tea towels, all with the logo embroidered on them. Checking the quality of the items, April and Joanne agreed they would be fine. April asked Ellen to order one hundred bath sheets, for use on deck, in addition to one hundred sets to be used in the staterooms.

The women looked over the linen napkins. Like the other items, they had the yacht's logo embroidered on them. Ellen grinned and said, "I saved the best for last."

Ellen pulled out a colorful silk kimono, holding it up for April and Joanne to see. "I think this came out great. Do you like it?"

April took the garment from Ellen, putting it on. She looked at herself in the full-length mirror, turning to see all sides. "You're right, they are wonderful, Ellen." April removed the robe, handing it to Joanne to try on.

"Okay, if Joanne agrees, you can place the order. The yacht is going to be delivered the first week of April. Will that be enough time?" April said.

"Yes, it should be. Do you want to see the uniforms too?" Ellen said while grinning at April's surprised look.

"You have a sample already? I thought you said it would take another two weeks," April said.

"I put a little pressure on the supplier to get me a sample faster than normal. I really want the business," Ellen said.

April took the plastic cover off the uniform. She looked at it, front, and back. Smiling, April hung it on a rack and began undressing. "I'm going to try it on if that's okay."

Ellen nodded. "Help yourself, April."

April put on a white skort and the shirt. She checked herself in the mirror, nodding approvingly. Removing the skort, she tried on a knee-length skirt. "These are very nice, Ellen. I like the material and the fit."

"As you requested, a woman's set consists of a long sleeve and short sleeve oxford shirt with epaulette tabs, a skirt like the one you're wearing, a skort, shorts, and long pants. The skirt, skort, shorts, and slacks are in white and navy blue. For causal wear, I have knit pullover shirts. The men's uniforms are the same except no skirt or skort."

"Did you get a sample of the blazers?" April asked.

Ellen uncovered a white blazer and handed it to April.

After putting it on, April said, "You did great, Ellen. You even have my size right."

"I knew you were a four, April. So, do you think the uniforms pass muster?" Ellen said.

"Yes, they're as nice as any I've worn, Ellen. How much lead time do you need?" April replied.

"That depends, have you decided whether or not you're going to put the logo on the shirts?"

"Yes, I want the logo on the short sleeve oxfords and the pull over shirts. The rest of the things won't need a logo. We are going to need windbreakers with the yacht's name on the back too," April said.

Ellen and April discussed the amount of time required to order and receive the items. Sitting at the table, Ellen began writing the initial order. When they finished, April reviewed the order once more before approving it.

"That takes care of everything except the uniforms, Ellen. I will let you know as soon as we secure a crew. I'll have the crewmembers stop in to be measured. You can order Jeri's and my uniforms now. We both wear the same size."

"No problem, I'll have them in a couple weeks. If you need them altered, I can take care of that for you too," Ellen said.

"Ellen, how did you get into the uniform business? Isn't it odd for a lingerie shop to offer things like April ordered?" Joanne asked.

"I hadn't planned on it, but when my kids started fishing and wanted uniforms, I found suppliers I could get them from. The next thing I knew I was filling orders for other boats and crews too. The uniform business is doing well and I don't have to worry about things going out of style. Everything is special order," Ellen said.

"An order like this must be nice for you," Joanne said.

"Very nice, Joanne. It isn't everyday I sell thousands of dollars worth of sheets, pillowcases, and towels. Not to mention the clothing."

"I think I'm going to browse around in the shop. My husband loves the lingerie I've bought here before," Joanne said.

Joanne left the office, going out into the shop. She looked over the bras, panties, and other things on display. Picking out a few things, Joanne took them to the register. Ellen came out to ring up the purchase, telling Joanne she would give her a discount.

April carried the sample uniform out into the store. She thanked Ellen for all she had done, telling her she would be in touch.

"Ellen has nice things in her store. I shopped here the last time we were in Florida, before I knew her," Joanne said as April pulled into traffic.

"Jeri and I have been here too. We love our frillies. That's what we call our lingerie," April replied with a chuckle.

"I know Sam loves mine!" Joanne told April, laughing after she did. "My underwear used to be plain white cotton, now I wear sexier things."

"What would you like to do tonight? Want to go back to the club?" April asked.

"I would rather just stay home and relax if it's okay with everyone else. I like going out, but I like being home better—even if it isn't my home. A nice quiet dinner and a swim sound good to me," Joanne said.

Using her cell phone, April called Jeri. She related the plans for the evening, offering to stop at the store to pick up something for dinner. After chatting for a moment, April snapped her phone shut.

"Jeri thinks it's a good idea too. We can stop at the store before we pick up Jeri and Liz. I'm going to make coconut shrimp if that's okay with you," April said.

When they arrived at the apartment, Jeri went to see how the contractor was doing while Liz, Joanne, and April started making dinner. April and Joanne had stopped at a market to pick up fresh shrimp, salad greens, and wine.

"Let's get comfortable before we start cooking," April said.

Joanne and Liz watched April start striping as she headed for her bedroom. When April returned, she was wearing a tee shirt and panties. Liz and Joanne changed into the same outfits for the evening.

Jeri came in telling the others the contractor was making great progress. She saw how they were dressed, chuckled, and went to change. The four women talked about their day. They dined on the succulent shrimp, and drank the chilled white wine. After their meal, they cleaned up before retiring to the living room. The women decided against swimming. They wanted to relax. When it was time for bed, Joanne and Liz went to one room and April and Jeri went to theirs.

"Well, are you ready to go back to school, or at least Mrs. Phillips' house?" Sally asked Jack while snuggling against him in bed.

"Yes, I am ready, are you?" Jack said.

"I guess so."

"Is something wrong?"

"Not really. I guess I'm just queasy about seeing Brad. I'll be okay," Sally said with a sigh.

Jack rolled Sally onto her back. Propping himself up, he leaned over and kissed her tenderly. Sally put her arms around his neck, hugging him.

"Do you still have feelings for Brad?" Jack asked.

"I don't love him or anything—I love you. It just feels weird, that's all. It isn't everyday you lose your boyfriend to another guy," Sally said with a giggle.

"No, but don't forget I lost my girlfriend to another chick," Jack said and then he laughed. Looking into Sally's eyes, he smiled. "You know what? I'm glad we lost them to whomever. Now we have each other."

"Do you really mean that, Baby?" Sally hugged Jack, hoping he felt the same about her as she did him.

Jack was about to tell Sally that he did feel that way, but after thinking about it, he grinned.

"Sally, get down there and suck my cock. When I'm ready, you're going to give me a shower," Jack said as he pulled the covers back.

Sally's heart thumped in her chest as she scrambled down to Jack's crotch. She took his penis in her hand, covered it with her mouth, and began bobbing her head for all she was worth. Even when it gagged her, she didn't let up.

Jack smiled as he watched her. He was quickly learning how to show his love for Sally. Even if it wasn't the way he wanted to—it was what she wanted and he was going to do all he could to provide the dominance she desired. She looked into Jack's eyes, just as he had asked her to before, and he could see the love in them. Sally's eyes sparkled as she held his gaze.

When he told Sally to go down on him, Jack had not intended to let her finish, but decided he would. Sally's enthusiasm seemed so intense he didn't want to stop her. Besides, it felt wonderful.

Jack began ejaculating into Sally's eager mouth. She moaned around his penis, swallowing every drop of his semen. When Jack's penis stopped surging, she cuddled it with her mouth and tongue. Jack reached down so he could stroke her soft hair, letting her light brown locks fall through his fingers only to pick them up again.

"I love you, Sally," Jack said softly.

Sally moaned, pulled her mouth off his penis, and crawled up to snuggle with Jack. She didn't say a word as she wiggled to get as close as she could. Jack hugged her, kissing the top of her head.

"Okay, now that you've completely drained me, you have to give me a shower," Jack said.

Sally giggled, gave him a kiss, and jumped out of bed. She pulled on Jack's arm, dragging him toward the bathroom. She told him to wait while she turned on the water and adjusted it. Once the temperature was set, Sally guided Jack into the stall. She moved him under the spray to get him wet and then began shampooing his hair.

Jack stood with his hands at his sides, letting Sally wash him. He couldn't help smiling when she began to sing. Sally rubbed soap over his body, spending a little extra time with his genitals. Once she was finished, Jack washed her.

Jack and Sally dressed for the day and went downstairs. Kim and Tom were at the table, talking to Marge and Anne.

"Look, the love birds decided to crawl out of their nest," Kim said with a giggle.

"Yeah, we thought we'd honor you and Tom with our presence. You may bow now," Jack said, causing everyone to laugh.

"Are you kids ready to get back to your studies?" Anne asked.

"I am, Mom," Sally said.

Anne glanced at Jack, returning his smile. Marge made waffles for breakfast. Once the four teens finished eating, they left for the Phillips's new house.

Jack drove his pick up. Sally sat next to him, her hand on his thigh. Looking over the seat, she talked to Kim and Tom.

"I can't believe how cold it is up here. It was so nice when we were down in Florida," Sally said.

"No kidding. I'm freezing!" Kim said, giggling when Tom wrapped his arms around her to warm her up. "Mmmm, that's much better, Honey."

"Good, I like keeping you warm," Tom said.

Jack pulled into the driveway. The mood changed, all of them becoming a bit solemn. They went to the front door and Tom rang the bell.

Dianne opened the door, greeting the teens with a smile. She invited them in and showed them where to hang their coats.

"Hi, kids, glad to be back?" Dianne asked.

"Yes, but I wish it was warmer," Jack said. "It's easy to get used to the warm weather."

"I'm sure it is. Are you ready to get started? We have a lot of catching up to do," Dianne said.

Dianne led the teens to the basement where she had set up a makeshift classroom. She told them the contractor would be doing some work to make it better, but not right away. While Dianne was showing them the box she had packed the books and other materials in, Brad, Paul, and Lisa came in.

"Hi, Kim, Sally, Tom, Jack, how are you guys doing?" Brad asked.

"Good, Brad, how about you guys?" Jack replied.

"Things have been great. Paul and I have been helping Dad get the pro-shop ready to open. We have been working on the carts too," Brad said. He glanced at Sally and smiled.

"How are you doing, Sally?" Brad asked.

"Wonderful!" Sally hugged Jack's arm and grinned.

"That's great. I've been talking to Chris. You remember him; the guy from the resort. He's going to move to Michigan as soon as he gets out of school and work at the golf course this summer," Brad said.

"You seem excited about it, Brad," Sally said.

Brad nodded and smiled. Paul laughed and then said, "Cindy is coming too. She is going to be a cart girl."

Jack looked at Lisa and said, "How's Megan?"

"Ask her yourself. Megan's on her way over. She doesn't have classes until this afternoon," Lisa said. She smiled at Jack and said, "She's fine, Jack. We're all fine."

It was uncomfortable for a few minutes. Kim slipped her arm around Tom's waist, silently telling everyone she was with him. Jack noticed what his sister was doing and put his arm around Sally's shoulders.

"Something happen in Florida?" Lisa asked.

"I guess you could say that," Tom replied.

"You look happy, Tom—I'm glad you are," Lisa said.

Dianne told the kids to take their seats so she could get started. Once everyone settled in, Jack glanced at Sally and winked.

"Mrs. Phillips, we've changed our minds about getting our GED. We would like to graduate from high school, at least Sally and I do," Jack said.

Both Kim and Tom said they planned to return to school too. Dianne smiled. She told them it would be hard work, but they could probably catch up and advance into the grades they should be attending. She gave the group an assignment and began working on a revised lesson plan for Jack, Sally, Tom, and Kim.

When they broke for lunch, Dianne went over the lesson plan with Jack, Tom, and their sisters.

"If you do this additional work you will be able to go into your next grade next fall. I have to tell you that I will not just pass you," Dianne told them. "I will be testing you once a week on these things as well as the things we are learning now."

"Thank you, Mrs. Phillips. I think we can do it," Jack said. "We're all living in our house now. Uncle Marc and Aunt Anne sold their house to Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell."

"That's what I understand. Anne called me the other day and told me," Dianne said. "Let's get lunch and then get back to work."

While the group ate, Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally told the other kids about the trip to Florida and the yacht. Just before it was time to go back to work, Megan came in.

Lisa got up, giving Megan a hug and kiss. Megan returned the affection and then they sat down. It was silent for a moment, but Jack broke the ice.

"Hi, Megan, how are you?" Jack asked.

"I'm fine. How about you guys? I've pretty busy with school. College is harder than high school was, but I'm doing okay with it," Megan said.

Sally watched Jack and Megan; unable to fight off the jealousy she was feeling. She scooted her chair closer, leaning closer to Jack. When Jack put his arm around her, Sally sighed in relief.

Megan smiled and said, "You look happy, Jack."

"Yes, very happy," Jack replied.

The group talked for a few minutes before returning to their studies. They agreed to get together later to continue chatting.

Dianne gave Jack, Sally, Kim, and Tom a page of math problems to solve. Sally stared at the page, but she kept thinking about Megan. She couldn't help wondering if he wanted to go back with Megan. Glancing at her, Jack noticed Sally was staring into space. He reached over, put his hand on her shoulder, and mouthed 'I love you' when Sally looked at him.

Sally grinned, her heart thumping in her chest. She told Jack she loved him and wasn't silent when she did. They exchanged smiles and winks and then went to work on their problems.

At the end of the session, Dianne asked her kids to leave so she could talk to Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally.

"Okay, I've reviewed the work you'll have to do. You have three months to catch up. How often will you be going to Florida over the next three months?" Dianne said.

"I'm not sure, Mrs. Phillips. I think we'll have to go down a few times, but I also think we can keep up. We can work at home in the evenings and even on Saturdays if we have to," Jack said.

"Would all of you be willing to work on Saturdays?" Dianne asked.

Nodding their heads, they all said they would do whatever it took.

"Good, why don't you all go upstairs and see the others while I prepare tonight's homework. By tomorrow or the next day, I'll have a complete lesson plan for you," Dianne told them.

"I hear you guys are going to stay in school," Megan said when the group found the others in the living room.

"Yeah, we changed our minds about getting the GED and decided to finish school. I think we'll go to school in Florida next fall," Jack said.

"Are you going to invite us down to see the yacht and the new house?" Lisa asked.

"Sure, anytime you want to," Sally said and then she looked at Jack. "Right, Honey?"

Jack nodded. "You bet, anytime you want to come down just give us a call. You'll like our new friends; they have a great fishing boat."

Kim and Sally began telling their friends about Jenny, Kathy, Eddie, and Brad. They told them about staying on the boat and the fishing tournament. As they talked, Sally's tension eased.

"Would you guys like to see the clubhouse?" Paul asked. "It's coming along great."

The group put on their coats and headed to the clubhouse. It wasn't too cold so they decided to walk. On the way, Paul and Brad told them about the plans for changed to the course.

"This is nice," Kim said when they entered the clubhouse. "It's the first time I've been here."

Lisa showed the girls around the dining room and kitchen while the guys went to the pro shop. Bob Phillips said hi to the boys, stopping what he was doing to talk.

"It looks like the pro shop is almost ready to open," Tom said.

"It is. In fact, I plan to open next week. I have been getting calls for lessons and league bookings. It looks like things are going to be good for us," Bob said.

"How about the changes to the course you were talking about?" Tom asked.

"We've decided to put off any major changes for a year, Tom. Your dad, Uncle Don, Jerry, and I had a meeting. We all feel it would be better to see how things go and take our time," Bob said.

"We're going to make a few minor changes, mostly to the tee boxes and a few of the traps," Brad said. "We want to make the course a little tougher to play."

In the clubhouse, the girls talked about the changes that were taking place. Megan took Sally aside so they could talk about Jack.

"It looks like you and Jack are together now," Megan said.

Sally nodded.

"That's so cool. I hope he's happy," Megan said with a smile.

"I do my best to keep him happy—I really love Jack," Sally told Megan.

"It shows. Sally, I love Jack too. I always will. He was my first real boyfriend and treated me so nice. Now I'm with Lisa so you don't have to worry about me trying to get back with him."

"Thanks, that means a lot to me. I get so jealous!" Sally said with a giggle. "Do you miss having sex with a guy?"

Megan laughed and nodded her head. "Sometimes I do. Lisa and I have a great sex life, but there is just something about a nice hard cock—something a dildo can't replace."

"Have you gone out with any guys?"

"No, not since Jack, and I'm not looking. Lisa and I talk about finding a couple guys and having a fling, but we haven't. I worry about being hurt and stuff like that," Megan said.

"Do you still think about that boy that raped you?" Sally asked.

"Not really, not since you guys convinced me it wasn't my fault. I learned so much being friends with you guys. You know, it isn't just about sex between Lisa and me. Our relationship is much deeper than that," Megan said.

"That's cool. I'm glad you're happy, Meg."

Megan grinned. "It is cool, Sally. You know, if it wasn't for you and Kim, I may have never discovered how much I like girls. The funny thing is I never thought I would fall in love with one. Now, things with Lisa just seem so right to me." Megan gave Sally a hug and then said, "I hope we can all still be friends—good friends."

"So do I, Megan. We've had so much fun together and I would hate to see it end. I think we should plan a party for all of us," Sally said.

"I'd like that. We always have so much fun when we get together. Let's talk to everyone else and set a date," Megan said.

Sally and Megan went to find Lisa and Kim. They were sitting at a table, talking with the guys. Sally sat on Jack's lap, putting her arms around his shoulders.

"Megan and I want to have a party," Sally said. "We want all of us to get together again. Is that okay, Honey?"

Jack smiled and said, "Sure, when do you want to do it?"

"She wants to do it right now, Jack. I think she means the party," Kim said, causing the group to break out laughing.

Sally stuck her tongue out at Kim and then said, "Yeah, as if you don't!"

"Hey, I'll admit I'm horny most of the time," Kim shot back.

"Okay you two, take it easy. When do you want to have the party?" Tom said.

"How about next weekend? We could get together at our house after school," Sally said.

The teens agreed to the date and picked a time. Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally left so they could get their homework finished. On the way home, they talked about seeing their friends again.

"Lisa told me she spends more nights at Megan's house than hers," Kim said. "It sounds like they are really in love with one another."

"That's what Megan said. I guess neither of them has been with a guy since they got together," Sally said.

"Paul and Brad seem to be excited about Chris and Cindy coming to Michigan this summer. Brad said he and Chris talk all the time. He said things have gotten really bad for Chris at home," Tom said.

"Yeah, it would suck to have parents that don't even try to understand you, let alone support you. Brad said Chris's dad hardly talks to him," Jack said.

"Paul said he and Cindy are becoming good friends. He said she is planning to visit soon. Cindy doesn't live that far from us, about three hours from what Paul said," Tom said.

"I think Cindy is from Ohio, isn't she?" Sally asked.

"Yes, Paul said they have been chatting online and calling each other," Tom said.

Sally snuggled against Jack. "I would hate having a long distance relationship."

"It won't be long before Cindy and Chris get here. I wonder if they will stay at Paul and Brad's house," Tom said.

"Probably, Megan and Lisa are planning to live in Lisa's old house. Megan's dad is buying it for them," Kim said.

When they arrived at their house, Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim went in to begin doing their homework. They went to the basement, but it was too noisy because of the contractors working on the darkroom and recreation room. Sally suggested they sit by the pool and they all agreed.

The teens were engrossed in their studies when their parents came in. Don and Marge went to the table, followed by Marc and Anne.

"How was your first day back to school?" Marge asked.

"It was good, Mom. Mrs. Phillips said we can pass if we take classes on Saturdays and study hard," Jack said. "We've decided to go for it. Mrs. Phillips said we would be able to go to Florida if we need to."

Don pulled up a chair. "I guess we should start planning for next fall. What are your plans for school?"

"We talked about it and Kim and Sally want to go to school in Florida, Dad," Jack said.

"Okay, let us talk about this. We'll let you know later," Don said.

"Anne and I are going to start dinner in a little while. How much work do you kids have?" Marge asked.

"We should be finished by dinner," Jack said.

The adults left to let their children return to their studies. They went into the family room, taking seats on the couches.

"Well, what are we going to do about the kids?" Anne asked.

"We're going to let them go to school in Florida. Jack and Tom will turn eighteen this summer and the girls will be sixteen. I think they are old enough to do what they want to," Don said.

"How about us, Honey? Are we going to move to Florida while the kids are down there?" Marge asked.

"Marc and I have been talking about that. How would you like to move down there permanently? We could keep this house so we can come up in the summer, but spend most of our time down south," Don said.

"I for one wouldn't miss this cold weather. It would be easy to get used to living down there. The only thing that makes me think about it is our friends, you know, Jerry, Liz, Sam, Joanne, Bob, and Dianne," Anne said.

"Shit, as rich as we're making them they can come down to visit anytime they want to," Marc said.

"Don't forget they're making us richer too. I agree with my brother. They could come down. While I trust our kids completely, I would feel uneasy about them living down there alone," Marge said.

"Don, why don't we sell this house and buy something on Lake Michigan? It would make more sense to have a summer home on the lake than here in town," Anne said.

"I haven't really thought about it, but you're right, a summer home on Lake Michigan would be nice to have. Things have changed since we won the money and I guess they will continue to do so. While I love this house, we can find something we like or have one built. If that's what we're going to do, we should forget about making too many changes to this house.

"We'll have the contractor finish the basement. I don't think we should change the recreation room or finish the darkroom. Anne and Mark can use the recreation room as it is. So, is it settled?" Don said.

The other three knew the decision, but they all agreed to the new plan. Don and Marc said they would find a realtor to begin searching for a new place on Lake Michigan. Marge and Anne went to the kitchen to start dinner while Don and Marc went to the office.

"That happened so fast! I've hardly had time to think about it," Marge said to Anne.

"That's my brother for you. I think it's a great idea, Marge. I agree with you about the kids staying in Florida without us," Anne said.

"Like I said, I'm sure they'd be okay, but I'm just not ready to let go like that, not yet."

Marge took a large package of pork chops from the refrigerator. She and Anne began breading the chops and searing them in a hot frying pan. Anne placed the browned meat in the oven. While the meat cooked, the two women prepared the rest of the evening meal.

Don and Marc went online to locate a realtor on the west side of the state. They made a few calls; finally deciding on a realtor that seemed to have several listings for them to see. They made an appointment to view some properties the following weekend.

Finished in the office, Don and Marc went out to tell their wives the plan. The women listened while their husbands told them what the realtor had said and that they were going to take a trip.

"We'll leave on Friday and look at the offerings on Saturday," Don said. "Most of the listings we're interested in are in the Ludington area. We told the realtor we needed at least eight bedrooms and access to the water for the boat. He has one property he thinks we'll really like."

"Does it have a house on it?" Marge asked.

"Yes, but it isn't really what we'd want. The real feature is it's on ten acres with lake frontage. He said we couldn't moor the boat there, but there is a harbor several miles away that would accommodate Tomiko. We would have to use a tender to get to and from the yacht, but that really isn't a big deal," Don said.

"I agree, how often will the kids bring the yacht up to Michigan anyway?" Anne said.

"Angelo, he's the realtor, said he would send pictures and a complete description of the property," Marc said.

The teens finished their homework. They packed up their books and went into the house. Jack asked Don if they could use the office to call Jeri and find out what was happening with the yacht.

Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim went to the office and called the boatyard. They talked to Harry while Jeri came from the yacht to the office. The group talked for a half hour about the progress, agreeing another visit wouldn't be necessary for several weeks. Finished with the call, the teens went to see their parents and have dinner.

Kim and Sally helped in the kitchen while their brothers set the dining room table. When the meal was ready, they all gathered around the table to eat.

"We've decided a few things," Don said. "First of all, you kids can go to school in Florida next fall. We've also decided that we'll all live down there during the school year."

"That's great, Uncle Don," Sally said with glee.

"There's more. We're going to sell this house and buy a summer home on Lake Michigan. I'm going to have the contractor finish the basement, but not the darkroom or the recreation room. If you need to do work in the darkroom, Tom, you can go to the other house. I don't think Sam and Joanne will mind at all," Don told the teens.

"Are you going to buy the resort we stayed in last summer?" Tom asked.

"No, I really never thought about that place. The house isn't large enough, but there is plenty of vacant property around it," Don said. "Maybe we'll see if the owner is willing to sell it."

"That would be so neat!" Kim said, thinking about all the things the four teens had discovered while staying there.

After dinner, the teens cleared the table and took care of the dishes. When they finished, they went out to the pool to swim.

On the way to the pool, Sally grabbed one of the cordless telephones so she could call Jenny and tell her the news. The four of them showered and then went for a dip. They frolicked in the cool water, splashing, hugging, and kissing.

"I'm going to call Jenny," Sally said while hugging Jack.

"Okay, I'll get sodas for all of us," Jack said.

Sitting at a table, Sally dialed Jenny's telephone number. She talked to Mrs. Shockley for a moment and then asked for Jenny.

"Hi, Jenny, it's Sally."

"Hi, how are you?"

"Great, how about you guys?"

"We're fine. Eddie and I just got home from the boatyard." Jenny realized what she had said and quickly added, "We had to take some things to my dad."

"Guess what, we're moving to Florida this summer. Our parents said we can go to school down there next year," Sally said.

"Really, that is so cool! When are you coming down again?"

"In about a month I guess. We don't really have anything to do on the yacht right now and we want to make sure we pass in school. If we do, Kim and I will be in the eleventh grade with you next fall."

"Cool, I can't wait. Are you going to drive down when you come next time?" Jenny asked.

"We'll probably fly—why?"

"I was going to see if you could pick up my cousin Frank if you were driving. Erin really misses him and I know he misses her. Oh well, maybe his mom will come down to see Maria," Jenny said.

"I thought they were going to move down there," Sally said.

"My aunt is talking about it, but she has this thing about her job. My mom said she probably would after Frank graduates from high school though. He's a senior," Jenny said. "So, how is that sexy boyfriend of yours?"

"Jack is fine. He, Tom, and Kim are sitting here with me. We're all naked by our pool," Sally said with a giggle.

"I'm jealous!"

"You have a pool—and a hot brother!"

"True, but we have to do our homework before we can go out to the pool. Brad and Kathy might come over after dinner tonight."

"Going to get lucky?" Sally asked.

"A girl can only hope."

"Okay, well, have fun. I'll talk to you later, Jenny."

"Bye, Sally, talk to you soon."

Sally hung up and put the phone on the table. She told the others about what Jenny said about Frank and that she was happy the teens were moving to Florida.

The four teens talked about their next trip to Florida and the possibility of going fishing with their friends. They also talked about the yacht and the things they needed to do when they went down. After going for another swim, they showered and went to their rooms for the night.

Chapter 18


"Sally called me last night," Jenny told Kathy and Brad when they climbed into the van to go to school. "They're going to move down here this summer. Sally said they're going to go to school with us next year."

"That's great!" Kathy said.

"No shit, we can fish on their boat next fall," Eddie said, "The new one. We have to make sure it's ready for them. If my dad hadn't let it slip, we wouldn't have known the new boat was for Jack, Tom, and their sisters. We have to be careful not to let on we know."

"I hope we can go to the Bahamas and go after big marlin, or maybe head up to the Carolinas for tuna," Brad said.

"I think we're ready to start the final design on the boat," Eddie said. "I also think we should go with the west coast layout. That will allow you to walk around the cabin, and fish from the bow."

"Dad said they can build the superstructure at the same time they work on the staterooms and other things below deck," Jenny said.

"Have we decided on how many staterooms we're going to have on the boat?" Kathy asked.

"I think we can have five staterooms and a crew's quarters if we don't make the staterooms too big," Jenny said. "We should try to figure that out today when we go to the boatyard after school."

After school, the four teens headed to the boatyard. They met with the engineer and architect to work out the final details of the design. The four of them gave Leanne and Cliff their ideas. Cliff sketched on a pad while Leanne used her computer to fill in the hull. By the end of the day, they had a good idea of what the boat was going look like when it was finished. Harry and Jack came in the room to see how things were going.

Leanne asked Eddie, Jenny, Kathy, and Brad to come back the next day to watch as she worked on the design. She said she would have questions about the helm layout and other things. Harry suggested they ask Jeri to offer her input too.

Over the next few days, the four teens went to the boatyard after school to work on the design. Jeri helped locate the electronics on the helm and the console on the tuna tower. She told Harry they could use the electronics they had replaced on Tomiko for the fishing boat, and add a fish finder.

By Friday evening, the design was complete. The entire group sat around the conference room talking about how the boat would look when finished.

The seventy-five foot custom sport fisherman would have five staterooms below and forward. Two of the staterooms, the master and the VIP, would be equipped with queen size berths and ensuite heads. The three guest staterooms would share two full heads. In the guest staterooms, there would be full size berths with single fold-down berths so each room could sleep three people.

The crew's quarters were to be located aft of the engine room with berths for three, and a head with a shower stall. The crew's quarters contained access to the engine room, and the washer and dryer.

All the staterooms would be equipped with flat panel televisions and stereo systems. The design called for ample storage in cabinets, drawers, and hanging lockers. All storage was cedar lined.

The salon rose three feet above the cockpit deck. There would be bench seating on a mezzanine between the cockpit and the bulkhead of the salon and storage under the cushions. In the salon, settees and chairs would provide seating. Forward of the salon the dinette separated the galley from the main area.

There was a spiral stairway from the salon to the enclosed flying bridge. The bridge would have large a sitting area. There were plans for a chart table and computer station on the portside of the room. Aft of the flying bridge there would be a deck for sunning and looking down at the cockpit. A ladder would lead up to the tuna tower where the captain could operate the boat while fishing. A set of steps would lead down to the cockpit.

The cockpit design was for big game fishing. There would be two fish boxes in the sole with circulating water. The tackle station and bait prep area were built into the bottom of the mezzanine. There was a hatch leading to the crew's quarters. The boat would have ample storage space for rods, reels, and tackle.

Also in the cockpit, there were live bait wells and tuna tubes. The outriggers were to be hydraulic with controls at the cockpit helm position. The captain would be able to operate the boat from the cockpit with the aid of a camera system.

"Should we come in tomorrow?" Jenny asked.

"That won't be necessary. I have to work out the cable and plumbing routing tomorrow and there really isn't anything you kids can do to help," Leanne said. "By Monday, I'll have the blueprints ready."

"I'm going to add a second shift so we can get this project finished faster," Harry said. "I'll call Joanne and ask her to come down to do the interior design in a couple weeks. If all goes well, we should be able to deliver the boat in eight or ten weeks."

Everyone knew that completing the boat is such a short time would be difficult, but they all agreed to do the best they could. While Leanne, Cliff, Jeri, and the teens worked on the design, the hull was painted. The hull was ready for the next step.

Eddie, Jenny, Kathy, and Brad left the yard. On the way to drop Kathy and Brad off, Jenny suggested they go fishing the next day. They all agreed to check with their parents to see if it would be okay.

Like the rest of the days that week, dinner was later than normal. Jenny and Eddie would get home at about seven o'clock after spending several hours at their father's boatyard. Ellen had dinner ready each night, offering to do the dishes so her children could do their homework.

"Eddie, Brad, Kathy, and I want to know if we can go fishing tomorrow," Jenny said as she finished eating her meal.

"It's okay with me. Don't you kids have to work tomorrow?" Ellen replied.

"No, Leanne said she has some work to do before we are needed again," Eddie said. "We don't have much homework for Monday and we can do it on Sunday."

"Are you kids planning on fishing Saturday and Sunday?" Harry asked.

"If you don't mind we'd like to, Dad," Jenny said.

"Are you going to stay on the boat tonight?" Ellen asked.

"We haven't talked about it, Mom. Eddie and I didn't know if we'd be able to go."

"Well, it's alright with us if you kids want to spend the weekend on the boat. Why don't you call Kathy and see if she and Brad want to stay on the boat too?" Ellen said.

"Are you trying to get rid of us?" Jenny asked with a giggle.

Glancing at her husband, Ellen winked and then said, "Of course not. You kids have been working so hard you could use a break."

Jenny called Kathy. They talked about staying on the boat for the weekend, agreeing they wanted to. Jenny told Kathy to get packed and that she and Eddie would pick her and Brad up in a half hour.

"They want to spend the weekend on the boat," Jenny told her brother. "Let's get a few things together. We have to pick them up in a half hour."

While Eddie and Jenny gathered their things, Ellen called Sarah Waters, inviting her and Jack over that evening. Jenny and her brother told their parents goodbye. They agreed to call them over the weekend.

Kathy and Brad came out of their house when Eddie beeped the horn. Brad climbed into the back while Jenny moved from the front seat so she could sit with him. Kathy tossed the duffle bag she was carrying into the van and got in front.

"Listen, I heard there's a party at Molly Durham's house. Want to stop for a little while?" Kathy said.

"I don't care. How about you?" Eddie said, looking at Jenny and Brad in the rearview mirror.

"That's fine as long as we don't stay too late. I'd like to get out early tomorrow morning," Brad said.

Eddie drove to Molly's house, parking in the road as close as he could. The four teens walked into the backyard and looked for the hostess. When Kathy saw Molly, she led the group over to where the girl was sitting.

"Hi, Molly, how are you doing tonight?" Kathy asked.

"Great, Kathy. I'm glad you guys came. There are sodas in the cooler and munchies on the table. Help yourselves and have a good time," Molly told the teens.

After chatting for a moment, Brad and Jenny went to the cooler to get sodas. Brad spotted one of his friends, took Jenny's hand, and went over to talk to him.

"Lenny, do you know my girlfriend, Jenny?" Brad said while shaking his friend's hand.

"I know about her from the papers, but I've never met her. Hi, Jenny, I'm Lenny Oakfield. Brad and I have known each other since grade school," Lenny said as he took Jenny's hand and kissed the back of it.

"Is your sister here, Brad?" Lenny asked.

"Yeah, she's over there with Eddie, her boyfriend." Brad pointed to where Jenny and Eddie were standing with a few other kids from school. "What have you been up to lately?"

"Not too much, just school and hanging around. How about you?"

"Jenny, Kathy, Eddie, and I have been working. We're helping design a fishing boat at Jenny's dad's boatyard," Brad said proudly.

"That's cool! Have you been fishing lately?" Lenny said.

"Yeah, in fact, we're going tomorrow."

"One of these days you're going to have to take me with you. I love to fish, but I don't get to go very often," Lenny said.

"Okay, one of these days," Brad said. "Are you and Molly still going out?"

"Yes, it'll be six months next week."

"Honey, I'm going to go talk to Cindy and Kevin. I'll see you in a few," Jenny said.

Brad leaned down, kissed Jenny and smiled. "I'll be over there in a few minutes, Baby."

"Damn she's hot," Lenny said after Jenny walked away.

"Yup, she sure is," Brad said with a chuckle. "We get along great. Her brother Eddie is a great guy too."

"So, you're really into this fishing thing from what I hear. You guys are always in the paper or something like that," Lenny said.

"We've done pretty good in the tournaments. We belong to a club too," Brad said. "I'll check with Jenny and Eddie about taking you out. If it was my boat it wouldn't be any problem at all—you know that."

"No problem, Brad. Let's go find the girls."

Brad and Lenny walked over to where Jenny was talking with Cindy and Kevin. Lenny waved Molly over, putting his arm around her waist when she got there. Kathy and Eddie came over along with two other friends, Penny and Walt. The group talked about school and their plans for the summer.

A little while later, Brad, Jenny, Eddie and Kathy found themselves alone. Their friends went to talk with some of the other kids at the party.

"I asked Cindy and Kevin if they wanted to fish tomorrow, but they have plans," Eddie said.

Brad chuckled and said, "Lenny all but asked to go."

"Go ahead and invite him, Honey," Jenny said. "We don't mind, do we, Eddie?"

"No, I don't mind. We could ask Penny and Walt too, you know, make a day of it," Eddie said.

Brad went to talk to Lenny while Eddie talked to Walt. When they came back to Jenny and Kathy, they told the girls it was all set. Walt, Penny, Lenny, and Molly would meet them in the morning at the boat. The four of them hung around the party for another hour. They told their friends they would see them in the morning and left for the boat.

On the way to the marina, Eddie stopped at an all night grocery store to pick up food for the next two days. Once they had purchased lunchmeat, bread, soda, and a few other things, they went to the boat. Jenny and Kathy put away the food while Brad and Eddie checked the fluid levels in the engine room.

"I'm going to get comfy," Jenny said as she headed to the staterooms.

Kathy followed Jenny below. They took off their clothes and put on long tee shirts for the night. The four of them lounged in the salon for a bit and then called it a night. Jenny and Brad took the guest stateroom. Eddie and Kathy told their siblings goodnight and went to the master stateroom.

"Mmmm, this feels so nice," Jenny said as she snuggled with Brad.

Brad gave her a kiss and then took off the tee shirt Jenny wore. He pulled her to his bare chest, hugging her firmly. They kissed and touched one another lovingly. Brad removed Jenny's panties as well as his boxers. He moved between her legs, entering her slowly.

Kathy stroked Eddie's penis while peppering his face with kisses. She slid down, took him in her mouth and began bobbing her head. Eddie rubbed the back of Kathy's head while she sucked him. Kathy brought him off and then he returned the favor. Before they fell asleep, they made love.

-------

Sarah and Jack Waters arrived at Harry and Ellen's house shortly after their kids left. Harry fixed drinks for the group and they sat outside to enjoy them. Jack and Harry talked about the new fishing boat and the yacht while their wives chatted about the opportunity Don and Marc had given their children.

"Okay, that's enough work talk for tonight," Ellen said. "We want you two to pay attention to us."

"You do huh? Well why don't you two get naked then?" Harry said with a chuckle.

"Why don't you two get naked? In fact, why don't we all get naked and go for a swim?" Sarah said.

Laughing, the four removed their clothes. They jumped in the pool, swimming around for a few moments. Sarah swam over to Harry, reached into the water and began fondling his penis.

"Jack, your wife is playing with my cock," Harry said.

"Well, we can't have that, can we?" Ellen said as she moved to Jack and started fondling him.

Harry and Ellen had introduced Jack and Sarah to swapping a couple months prior. It was at one of the kids' tournaments when the four parents stayed at a hotel. The two couples had met in Harry and Ellen's room for a drink after the day's festivities. No one was drunk, but after a couple stiff cocktails, all of them were very relaxed.

Ellen and Sarah had been talking about the day on the boat when Sarah decided to change. She and Jack were on the verge of separation because of the way Sarah treated Brad and Kathy as well as her puritan attitude toward sex. With some encouragement from Ellen, Sarah decided to fight for her family.

The change wasn't easy for Sarah. There were many issues she had to work through, but with the support of her husband, and her friends, she was making headway. The real benefactors were Brad and Kathy. Sarah had become far less critical of the way they dressed and behaved. Even when she realized Kathy and Brad were sexually active, she was able to accept it.

When Ellen asked Sarah if she was having the feelings she feared, the need to be with other men, Sarah confessed she had. Ellen told Sarah should test the waters to see if she could handle it. After some giggling and offhand remarks, Ellen offered her husband as a test subject. While Sarah was shocked, she was also intrigued.

Before the night ended, Sarah discovered she still enjoyed oral sex with someone other than her husband. Jack and Ellen didn't just watch, they got together and had sex too. From that night on the four of them indulged in the swapping they had come to enjoy.

The two couples left the pool, picked up their drinks, and went into the house. They dried themselves, settling in the living room. Jack and Ellen sat on one of the couches while Harry and Sarah sat on the other facing them. They talked about the past and the changes Sarah had made.

Ellen began grinning and then she chuckled. Slipping off the couch, she walked on her knees to where her husband and Sarah were sitting. Harry knew what his wife had in mind so he got up and went to sit on the other couch with Jack.

Up until then, the few times Sarah and Ellen had been together, it was just the two of them. Ellen didn't care if her husband or Jack watched, but Sarah wasn't sure about how her husband would react. Sarah quickly realized that was about to change if she didn't stop Ellen.

Ellen pulled Sarah onto the floor with her. Taking her in her arms, Ellen began kissing Sarah tenderly. Hands moved over naked flesh and soon the two women were lost in the feeling of intimacy. When Ellen's kisses moved to Sarah's breasts, Saran didn't protest. Glancing at Jack, she returned his smile.

Sarah held Ellen's head while she suckled her breasts. Ellen moved one hand between Sarah's legs, stroking her warm vulva. Sarah responded by opening her legs and moaning.

Ellen continued her slow seduction, kissing and touching Sarah's body. When Ellen began licking her vulva, Sarah let out a loud moan. Moving around, Ellen lowered her sex to Sarah's willing mouth. The two women kept it up until they came. Sarah went first, followed closely by Ellen. Sated, they lay next to one another catching their breath.

Sarah twisted around so she was facing Ellen's head. She gave Ellen a kiss, tasting her juices on her lips.

"Wow, that was wonderful," Sarah whispered.

Ellen grinned and said, "Oh yeah! It sure was. I think our hubbies liked it too."

Sarah furrowed her brow, but giggled when she glanced at the couch and saw her husband and Harry stroking their rigid penises.

"I guess you're right, Ellen."

"What do you think we should do about their problem?" Ellen asked.

"Hmmm, I guess we should take care of them," Sarah said.

Ellen was about to agree, but chuckled instead. "I'm tired. You'll have to do it, Sarah." From conversations the two had before, Ellen knew having the two men at the same time was one of Sarah's fantasies. From her giggle, Ellen knew Sarah was ready to take her sexual healing to the next level.

Getting up, Ellen moved Sarah so she was on her hands and knees. She glanced at her husband and Jack, winking at them.

"Why don't you two come over here and give this poor girl what she needs?" Ellen said seductively.

Grinning, Jack and Harry walked to where Sarah was kneeling. Ellen pointed at Jack and then at Sarah's head. Harry moved beside his wife, kneeling on the floor. Jack took his place in front of Sarah, while Ellen began stroking his erect penis. She put her other hand behind Sarah's head, guiding her mouth to Jack's member.

As Jack's penis slipped over her tongue, Harry entered Sarah from behind. The two men developed a rhythm, moving in and out of Sarah's vagina and mouth. Ellen sat next to Sarah, fondling her hanging breasts.

Sarah was reeling in lust. She had thought about how it would feel to have her mouth and vagina filled at the same time, but her dreams paled in comparison to the real thing. Each time Harry drove his member into her, he pushed her down on Jack's penis. Even though she was very adept at deep throating, having Harry thrusting into her throat caused Sarah to gag on her husband's penis.

Harry let out a groan, grabbed Sarah's hips and began to come. He threw his head back as his semen shot deep into her clutching vagina. Sarah was on the verge of her orgasm, but Harry fell away before she could reach the peak. Sensing Sarah's situation, Ellen pushed Harry aside and pressed her face against her vulva. Ellen's tongue drilled into Sarah's vagina. She used her fingers to rub Sarah's clit, sending her into an orgasmic frenzy.

Sarah moaned around Jack's penis. He felt his climax build and then he came. She swallowed his semen as it shot into her mouth. Sarah finally removed her mouth from Jack's spent member. She lowered her head to the carpeting, yelling out while her climax consumed her. Unable to support herself any longer, Sarah rolled onto her side and gasped for breath.

Ellen turned to Jack, using her mouth to clean his penis. When she was finished with him, she did the same for Harry. The two sated couples relaxed on the floor, each of them slowly regaining their composure.

"Oh my God! That was wonderful," Sarah said as she rolled on her back and looked up.

"Nothing like getting it from both ends, is there?" Ellen said with a chuckle.

Jack moved closer to his wife. Putting his arm around her, he said, "Watching you and Ellen was the hottest thing I've ever seen in my life. You looked so sexy, Baby!"

"How about another drink?" Harry said.

"Sure, we don't have to drive home tonight," Sarah said. "Besides, you two still have Ellen to take care of."

Harry freshened everyone's cocktails. They went out to the patio, placed their drinks on a table and jumped in the pool. Sarah swam over to her husband, hugged him and then gave Jack a kiss.

"Honey, thank you for loving me and for sticking with me for all these years," Sarah said. "I never thought it was possible for me to do, but I love you more than anything in this world."

Jack hugged his wife and pressed his lips to hers. When they broke the kiss, he looked into her eyes. "Baby, you have become the woman I always knew you could be. I'm not talking about what we just did or the sex we now enjoy. You have become a great mom to the kids and a wonderful wife."

"You know, we have pretty special friends, don't we? I'm so glad Ellen talked me into what we did that day on the boat. I'm also glad you finally took a stand and made me want to fight for you."

Jack and Sarah hugged for a moment. They swam in the refreshing water and then climbed out to relax. Ellen and Harry joined them at the patio table. The four of them sipped their drinks and began talking about their children.

"Jenny said the kids from Michigan are going to be going to school down here next fall," Ellen said. "She also said the two families are going to live here when the kids are in school."

"That will be nice for them. They all seem to get along very well," Jack said. "Don and Marc are very different from anyone I've ever met."

"That would be an understatement. I think they are a bit eccentric, but they are certainly nice. With Tomiko, and now the fishing boat, they are keeping us busy," Harry said.

"Not to mention the other yacht you have an order for. It looks like this could be a very good year, Honey," Ellen said.

Harry chuckled and said, "It's a good thing we are busy. The kids' fishing costs a small fortune. I'm not complaining—I'm happy we can afford to do it for them. If nothing else, it keeps them out of trouble."

"When is their next tournament?" Sarah asked.

"I'm not sure. I'll have to check with Eddie. Maybe we can work it out so we can go with them if they're fishing in the Bahamas," Ellen said. "We have fun when we go."

Sarah chuckled and said, "I know I do."

The four parents stayed out on the patio for another hour. Harry suggested they go inside and take care of his wife. Laughing, they went into the living room. Before long, Ellen was enjoying the same treatment Sarah had received earlier. Harry knelt in front of his wife while Jack screwed her from behind. Sarah sat next to her friend watching her. Later, the four of them went to Harry and Ellen's bedroom to spend the night in the king size bed.

-------

"Wake up, Honey, our friends are going to be here soon," Jenny said to Brad while she nuzzled his neck.

"Okay, I'm awake. Come here, we have time for a little fun, don't we?" Brad replied, pulling Jenny's naked body on his.

Jenny snuggled with Brad, kissing him. He ran his hands over her back and bottom. Wiggling against his morning hardon, Jenny told Brad they needed to get up and shower.

Brad gave Jenny a kiss and then rolled her off his chest. They went to the head, taking care of their bladders before showering together. When they went up to the galley, Brad and Jenny saw Kathy and Eddie.

"Good morning, sleep well?" Jenny asked Kathy as she slid into the booth next to her.

"Yeah, we had a great night," Kathy replied. "What time are our friends supposed to be here?"

"We told them seven. I hope they're not late," Brad said. "We still have to get fuel and bait."

Brad and Eddie made breakfast while Jenny and Kathy sat and watched. Once they were finished eating, the girls did the dishes. Brad and Eddie went outside to get the boat started and ready to go. At a quarter to seven, Brad and Eddie went to the parking lot to wait for the four teens that were joining them.

Walt, Penny, Lenny and Molly showed up before seven. After saying hello, Brad and Eddie led them to the boat. Walt and Lenny carried duffle bags with their clothes in them.

"Holy shit, this is your boat?" Lenny said as Eddie invited them aboard.

"It's my family's boat," Eddie said. "We use it most of the time though. I can't remember the last time my parents took it out without my sister and me."

Eddie led the group into the cabin. Jenny and Kathy greeted them, offering them coffee and juice. Lenny asked for coffee, but no one else wanted anything. After a few minutes, Eddie and Brad went out to untie the boat so they could get underway.

Lenny and Walt went up to flying bridge with Brad and Eddie. They watched Eddie maneuver the boat out of the slip and into the canal. When he reached the gas dock, Eddie docked the boat expertly.

"This is great. I've never been on a boat this size," Lenny said. "Thanks for asking us to come."

"No problem, Lenny. Have you been on a large boat before, Walt?" Brad asked.

"Yes, my grandfather has a cruiser. I'm not sure what kind it is, but it is big. My granddad doesn't fish though," Walt said.

Eddie went down to take care of the fueling. With the boat's tanks topped off, they left the gas dock. Eddie told his guests they needed to stop for bait and then they could go fishing. The man the teens bought bait from waved when he sat the boat approaching. Brad went down to the cockpit and helped the man secure his boat to the Lady Guinevere.

"The wahoo and dolphin fishing has been pretty good the last few days," the man said. "What do you need this morning?"

"What's in the tank?" Brad asked.

"I have ballyhoo and blue runners today. The runners are about eight inches."

"We'll take some of both," Brad said as he started the pumps on the boat's bait tanks.

Brad helped the man transfer the small fish to the bait tanks. Once the tanks were teaming with baitfish, Brad paid for them. Waving, Eddie pulled away. Brad went back up to the flying bridge, taking a seat next to Eddie.

"Do you guys like fishing?" Kathy asked Molly and Penny.

"I've never been fishing on the ocean. My dad used to take my brother and me, but it was on small lakes," Molly said.

"I've been fishing on the ocean before. My parents took my sister and me on a charter once. We didn't catch anything though," Penny said.

"How long have you and Brad been together, Jenny?" Molly asked.

"Brad and I have been dating since last Thanksgiving, the same amount of time Kathy and Eddie have been together," I said.

"That's cool. Lenny and I have been dating about as long as you guys," Molly replied.

"What time did you get here this morning?" Penny asked.

"We stayed on the boat last night," Kathy said.

"Really? With your boyfriends?" Penny said.

"Yeah, we stay on the boat whenever we can," Jenny replied. "Our parents know and they're cool about it."

"Shit, If my mom knew I spent the night with Walt she'd ground me forever," Penny said.

"My mom caught Lenny and me in bed about a month ago," Molly said.

"What did she do?" Kathy asked.

Molly giggled and said, "She took me to the clinic and put me on the pill. Mom said she knew she couldn't stop me if I wanted to screw, but she could try to keep me from getting knocked up."

"You mom sounds like ours," Kathy said. "They don't tell us we can't have sex and stuff like that."

"I think we're getting close to where we're going to fish," Jenny said when she felt the boat slow. "We should get outside and see if the guys need any help."

The girls left the cabin and stood in the cockpit. Jenny asked Eddie if he needed any help and he asked her to take the helm so he and Brad could rig the lines. Jenny went up to the flying bridge, gave Brad a kiss, and took over the helm. The other three girls came up to join Jenny.

"What can Walt and I do to help?" Lenny asked while he watched Brad and Eddie taking out the rods and reels.

"You can put these rods in the holders while Brad and I get them out. We'll show you how to rig them in a minute," Eddie said.

"These things are really nice. They're nothing like my fishing equipment," Lenny said.

"You should have been here the first day I went out with Brad and Jenny. I brought my spinning rig. I felt like a fool," Brad said with a chuckle.

"You shouldn't have. Jenny and I didn't tell you what to expect," Eddie told his friend.

Brad and Eddie took six rods out of the locker. They opened the hatch on the bait prep station and went to work. While rigging the live baits, Eddie explained what he and Brad were doing. Once there were a dozen of each of the baitfish rigged, Eddie said it was time to fish.

"Slow us down, Jenny," Eddie yelled up to the flying bridge. "We're ready to go."

Jenny slowed the boat to trolling speed. Brad and Eddie showed Walt and Lenny how to set the lines and then place the rods in the holders. Once the lines were out and the reels adjusted, the four boys stood back to watch.

"We're going to have to add an intercom system to the cockpit, helm, and the tower," Eddie said to Brad. "It would be hard to yell from the cockpit."

"That's a good idea. I hadn't thought about that," Brad replied.

"What are you guys talking about?" Lenny asked.

"Brad, Jenny, Kathy, and I are helping to design a long range fishing boat for one of my dad's customers," Eddie said.

"No shit, that must be cool," Walt said.

"It has been so far. The boat is seventy-five feet long. When she's finished, she's going to be beautiful and functional," Eddie said proudly.

"What does something like that cost?" Lenny asked.

Brad and Eddie chuckled. "A couple million by the time it's finished and rigged. Maybe more," Eddie said.

"How can anyone afford that much for a fishing boat?" Walt said.

"That's nothing; Eddie's dad is finishing a yacht that is one hundred forty feet long. That yacht will cost three or four times more than fishing boat will. The strange part is the owners are our age," Brad said.

"No way! How could they afford it?" Lenny asked.

Laughing, Brad said, "Their parents are rich. The yacht is for chartering and the kids own the business. They're going to dock it down here. Their parents bought the Dragon Fire mansion too."

"Shit, they must be spoiled brats," Lenny said.

"That's the funny part. They're really cool. We met them, Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally, when they were down here a few weeks ago. They went fishing with us and we had a blast," Eddie said. "You would never know they had money just by hanging with them."

"Yeah, and to top it off, the girls are really hot!" Brad said.

"So are your girlfriends," Walt said.

"Kathy and Jenny, yeah, they're hot too," Brad said.

"You think your sister's hot?" Lenny said. "I didn't know Jenny was your sister, Eddie."

"Hell yes. Just because she's my sister doesn't mean I can't think she's cute," Eddie said.

"You two don't get all geeked because you're dating each other's sisters? I don't like any of the guys my sister dates," Walt said.

"We all get along great. I don't think any of us ever had an argument. Not a serious one anyway," Brad said.

"That's cool. I wish my sister and I got along better. She can be such a little bitch sometimes," Walt said.

"How old is she?" Brad asked.

"Fourteen, April will be fifteen this summer," Walt said.

"How do you treat her?" Brad asked.

"I give her shit. That's my job. I'm her older brother," Walt replied with a chuckle.

"Maybe that's why she's a bitch to you," Eddie said.

"Yeah, maybe it is. I don't really care," Walt said.

One of the rods began flexing. Eddie grabbed it, pulled back and began reeling. Once he knew there was a fish on, he handed the rod to Lenny. Walt asked why Lenny was catching the first fish. Brad told him that he and Eddie divided the boat for the first fish. Lenny got the port side and Walt the starboard side. After that, they would take turns.

"The next fish is one of the girls. When we fish, we all take turns, Brad said.

Eddie coached Lenny, telling him when to wind down on the fish and when to pull back on the rod. When the wahoo was at the stern, Eddie gaffed it.

"Damn, that's the biggest fish I've ever caught," Lenny said as he gazed at the wahoo flopping on the deck. "Let me get my camera so I can get a few pictures."

Eddie took the rod from Lenny so he could go into the cabin to get his camera. When he returned, he asked Walt to take the pictures while he held the fish. Eddie removed the hook and cautioned Lenny about the rows of sharp teeth in the fish's mouth. Lenny lifted the wahoo by the gills, holding it up so Walt could take a few shots.

Another rod took off. Brad grabbed it while Eddie put the one they had caught in the fish hold. Eddie yelled up to the girls, telling Molly to come down.

"Here you go, Molly," Brad said as he handed her the rod. "Just keep pressure on the fish for a minute. When I tell you to, crank the reel while you lower the rod tip. Then you pull back and do it again."

Eddie pulled a harness out of a locker. Standing behind Molly, he helped her get into it. Molly thanked Eddie and began fighting the fish. When Brad gaffed the fish and pulled it onboard, Molly squealed.

"That was so cool! That fish fought so hard!" Molly said as she stood above the fish.

"Pick it up so I can take your picture," Lenny said.

"Yuck, I'm not going to hold it!" Molly said.

"Come on, it's not that bad," Lenny said. "I'll tell you what. We'll both hold it and Walt can take the pictures."

Molly wasn't happy at first, but when she and Lenny stood holding the fish horizontally, she became excited again. Walt snapped a few pictures before Brad helped Lenny put the fish in the hold.

"Walt, it's your turn next no matter which side the fish hits on," Brad said.

The next fish came a few minutes later. Walt fought a nice dolphin to the boat and Eddie gaffed it. After taking pictures, Brad added the fish to the two wahoo in the hold.

It was twenty minutes before another fish hit one of the rods. Penny fought hard and managed to get the fish into the range of the gaff. Brad pulled the fish aboard and added another wahoo to the day's catch.

Jenny came down to the cockpit. She put her arm around Brad and said, "I'm hungry. Let's have lunch."

"Do you want to eat out here or go in and anchor, Little-bit," Brad said.

"Let's go in. Kathy and I have been talking to Penny and Molly. I think they want to go for a swim," Jenny said.

Eddie and Brad asked Lenny and Walt to help pull the lines. They removed the baits and placed the rods in the rocket launchers. Jenny headed for shallow water, stopping the boat in one of the areas they had been to before.

Jenny dropped the anchor while Brad washed down the cockpit. The girls came down from the flying bridge, stopped to chat for a moment, and then went in to make lunch. Eddie pulled the deckchairs out and Brad helped him set them up.

Kathy came out to tell the guys lunch was ready. When they went into the cabin, the boys immediately noticed the girls changed into shorts and bikini tops.

"Okay, we put the lunchmeat and stuff on the counter. You guys can make your own sandwiches," Jenny said. "We have ham, roast beef, salami and turkey."

Eddie and Brad let Lenny and Walt make their sandwiches first. After the guys had their plates filled, the girls made their lunch. The group went outside to sit in the sun and eat.

"This is fun," Penny said. "Thanks for inviting us."

"No problem, Penny. We enjoy having our friends on the boat. After lunch we can get some sun and then go swimming," Jenny said. "That's what we usually do."

"What are you guys doing for spring break?" Lenny asked.

"We're planning to fish in a tournament. There is one down in the Bahamas we want to enter," Eddie said. "It's a money tournament and the first prize is thirty thousand dollars. We use the money we win to fund our boat."

"Thirty thousand, that's a lot of money," Penny said. "Have you ever won something like that?"

"Not that much, but we have won money before," Jenny said. "Tournament fishing is intense, but it's fun too."

"Do you stay on the boat?" Molly asked.

"Yes, we usually do. Our parents stay in a hotel if they go with us," Kathy said.

"I can't believe how cool your parents are about letting you guys stay on the boat," Lenny said.

"Our parents trust us because we don't give then any reason not to. We don't drink or do drugs and we don't get into trouble. As long as we don't give them a reason not to trust us, they will," Eddie said.

Eddie and Brad picked up the plates and took them into the galley. Lenny and Walt helped them. When Brad began washing dishes, Lenny picked up a towel to dry.

"Have you guys ever gone skinny dipping out here?" Walt asked while helping Eddie put away the lunchmeat.

"Sure, we do that all the time," Brad said.

"In front of your sisters?" Lenny asked.

Laughing, Brad said, "Yes, in front of our sisters. Jenny and Kathy are down with it too."

"I'm not sure I'd want to see my sister naked—I know I wouldn't want her to see me like that," Walt said.

"To each their own I guess. It doesn't bother any of us," Eddie said.

"Are you guys going to go skinny dipping today?" Walt asked.

Brad and Eddie laughed. "I doubt it. We don't do it to show off," Brad said.

"Too bad, I'd love to get Penny to go," Walt said.

"Tell her, Walt. Who knows, she may want to go just as much as you want her to," Brad said.

After finishing in the galley, the guys went outside. The cockpit was empty and the girls' shorts were in one of the chairs. When Walt asked where they were, Brad said, "Either on the flying bridge or the foredeck getting some sun."

"Would you mind if I had a smoke?" Lenny asked. "I've been dying for one."

"I didn't know you smoke. When did you take up that nasty habit?" Brad said.

"A few months ago, Brad. Molly smokes and she got me started."

"I don't care if you smoke as long as you do it out here," Eddie said.

Lenny pulled out his cigarettes, put one in his mouth and lit it. Brad, Eddie, and Walt told Lenny they would be on the flying bridge when he finished.

When they got up on the flying bridge, the three guys looked out at the foredeck. The girls were sitting in the sun taking. It took a moment for Walt to realize the four girls were topless.

"What the..." Walt began saying.

Brad and Eddie chuckled. Eddie said, "It looks like Kathy and Jenny talked your girlfriend into going topless. Come on; let's go down to the cockpit. It isn't nice to stare."

"What, you want to leave?" Walt said.

"Yeah, it's no big deal. The girls usually don't like it when guys stare at them," Eddie said.

"It might not be a big deal to you, but I don't get to see something like this very often—in fact, this is the first time for me," Walt said.

"If they want us looking at them, they'll come to the cockpit topless. If not, they'll put their tops on. Either way, it's up to them," Brad said.

Reluctantly, Walt went back to the cockpit. When Walt told Lenny what he'd seen, Lenny said he didn't believe him. Brad and Eddie told Lenny Walt was telling the truth, but Lenny felt compelled to see for himself.

Lenny went up to the flying bridge. A few moments later, he came down and shook his head.

"I never knew Molly was that brazen," Lenny said.

"Our sisters have a way of doing that, getting other girls to remove their tops. My mom goes nuts when anyone says anything about it being wrong. She thinks a girl should be able to go without a shirt just like men can," Eddie said.

"I can't say I disagree with your mom," Walt said with a chuckle.

Brad became a bit agitated. Finally, he couldn't take anymore of Lenny and Walt's comments about girls being topless.

"You know, the reason most girls don't like to be topfree is because guys like you can't handle it. My sister and Jenny don't mind being around us like that because we don't act like little kids," Brad said sharply.

"Hey, take a pill, Brad. Walt and I are just kidding around. We don't mean anything by it," Lenny said.

"You'll find girls don't think it's kidding around even if it's meant to be. They get tired of guys thinking their boobs are sex organs. If you guys can't act your age, I'll tell Jenny to have them put their tops on," Eddie said.

Brad and Eddie were able to convince Lenny and Walt they were out of line when they said the things they said. Brad told them that Jenny had told him many times she didn't like it when someone stared at her whether she was dressed or not.

"What's up?" Molly said as she stepped into the cockpit, her top in place.

"We're just talking. What are you up to?" Lenny asked.

"I'm getting sodas for us. We're sitting in the sun and talking. Do any of you want anything?" Molly said.

"I'll have one too. Let me give you a hand," Lenny said.

Lenny followed Molly into the cabin. While she was taking cans of soda from the refrigerator, Lenny watched Molly.

"You looked like you were having a good time out there," Lenny said.

"I saw you looking at us, Len."

"I tried not to stare too much," Lenny said with a chuckle.

"You don't care if I sun topless, do you?"

"No, why would I care?"

"I don't know, sometimes you get so jealous when guys look at me. I just don't want you getting nuts, that's all." Molly stood up, placed the sodas on the counter and put her arms around Lenny's waist. "You won't, will you?"

"No, I promise to hold my temper, Molly. Um, is that why you put your top back on?"

"Yes it is. Kathy and Jenny said Brad and Eddie wouldn't say anything. I don't think Walt would either, but I was worried that you would."

Lenny moved his hands to the back of Molly's neck. He tugged at the tie holding her top, waiting for her to say something. Molly kissed Lenny as he untied her top. Pulling back, Lenny pealed the cups away from Molly's breasts. He leaned down, kissing the tops of her breasts.

"Should I take it off or tie it?" Lenny asked.

"That's up to you, Len. I've had it off for almost an hour."

Lenny removed Molly's top, holding it between his finger and thumb. "Here you are," Lenny said.

Molly kissed Lenny's lips, smiled and said, "I don't need it—do I?"

Shaking his head, Lenny said, "You look very hot like that, Molly."

"Thanks, Baby. Thanks for being cool too."

Molly giggled, picked up the four sodas and headed for the cockpit. Lenny grabbed his soda and followed her. When she was outside, Molly went back to the foredeck. Lenny stood in the cockpit grinning.

When Walt began to say something, Lenny said, "Don't do it, Walt. Everything is cool and I want to keep it that way."

A few minutes later, the girls joined the guys in the cockpit. Penny looked nervous and attempted to conceal her breasts with one arm. She glanced around, lowering her arm when she realized no one was paying any real attention to her.

"We're going for a swim," Jenny said as she leaned against Brad and gave him a kiss.

"Can everyone swim?" Brad asked loud enough for the group to hear him.

No one said they couldn't swim. One by one, the girls jumped into the water. They swam toward the bow where the water would be shallow enough to stand. Eddie, Brad, Lenny, and Walt decided to join the girls. When Eddie and Brad stripped, Lenny and Walt did too.

"Aren't you going to put on trunks?" Walt asked.

"I wasn't planning to," Brad said. "You can do what you want to do though."

Brad and Eddie jumped into the water. Walt and Lenny shrugged their shoulders and followed them. After milling around behind the boat, the four guys swam toward the bow. When they reached the girls, Lenny and Walt stayed in water that hid the fact they were naked. Brad and Eddie went over to Jenny and Kathy, taking the girls in their arms.

"Mmmm, is this for me?" Kathy said as she rubbed her body against Eddie.

"What?" Molly said.

"My sweetie is naked," Kathy said with a giggle.

Molly looked at Lenny and Walt. When she saw the big grins on their faces, she giggled. "I think our guys are naked too, Penny."

Lenny nodded his head. Penny looked at Walt and covered her mouth with her hand.

"Are you naked too, Walt?" Penny asked.

"Um, yeah, I'm naked too," Walt said.

The girls all giggled. Penny moved closer to Walt, looking down to see if he was naked. When she saw his penis, she grinned. Once the initial shock was over, the teens began splashing and fooling around. Brad whispered to Jenny, removing the bottom of her bikini when she nodded. He twirled her suit around over his head, causing everyone to laugh. Before they headed back to the cockpit, the other three girls had removed the bottoms of their suits too.

"This is so strange," Penny said as she sat on one of the deckchairs with her legs crossed.

"What is, being naked?" Jenny asked.

"Yeah, being naked if front of everyone." Penny giggled. "It's actually kind of fun. Um, Walt and I haven't seen each other naked before."

"Oh shit, I hope we didn't talk you into anything you didn't want to do," Kathy said.

"No, not at all. I mean, he's seen my boobs and I've seen his cock, but we've never been completely naked before," Penny admitted, causing her and Walt to blush.

The conversation turned to sex. Penny and Walt confessed they hadn't gone beyond heavy petting. Lenny and Molly said they had been having sex for about two months. As the teens talked, the newcomers became more at ease with their nudity.

"Are we going to do anymore fishing?" Walt asked.

"We can if you guys want to," Brad said. He chuckled and asked, "Are we going to get dressed or fish naked?"

After a short bout of giggles, the group decided to stay the way they were. Brad, Eddie, Walt, and Lenny went up to the flying bridge to get the boat ready to go. The girls remained in the cockpit talking.

"I'm really sorry if we put you in an uncomfortable situation, Penny," Jenny said.

"That's okay; Walt and I have talked about it. The reason we haven't seen each other naked is because of not having a place to do it, not because we didn't want to." Penny giggled and said, "I never thought I would do it with an audience though."

"Are you sorry you did?" Molly asked.

"No, in fact I think it gave me the courage I needed. I'm really very shy—although you wouldn't know it by the way I'm acting today. The thing that surprises me is that I'm getting used to it now."

"Jenny and I do this all the time. After a while, it becomes natural," Kathy said.

"I noticed Brad and Eddie didn't get hard as much as Lenny and Walt did," Molly said.

"I don't get wet as often either," Jenny said with a giggle. "Like I said, you get used to it. If you don't think about being naked, you forget you are."

The boat began to move. Jenny and Kathy got up and began putting the deckchairs away. Once the chairs were stowed, the two girls started rigging the rods.

"This is the bomb," Lenny said. "Isn't it, Walt?"

"It's different, that's for sure. I never realized how sexy Penny really was until now. That doesn't mean the other girls aren't sexy, it's just that it is the first time I've seen all of Penny," Walt said.

"I guess you weren't expecting this," Brad said.

"No, not at all. Penny and I have wanted to get naked together, but we haven't had anywhere to do it. I didn't want our first time to be in a car or somewhere we would be caught. It seems that we never get to be alone at either of our houses." Walt chuckled and said, "So much for being alone the first time."

"Naked is naked, isn't it?" Lenny asked. "I don't mean to sound crass, but I think being out here on this beautiful day is a perfect time to do it."

"I didn't think about it, but you're right. Penny is kind of cute, isn't she?" Walt said.

"She's really cute, Walt," Eddie said.

"Her boobs aren't very big, but I like them," Walt said and then he chuckled.

"When did you and Eddie start shaving your nuts and cocks?" Lenny asked.

Eddie and Brad laughed. "When the girls complained about getting hair in their mouths," Brad said.

"That makes sense. Maybe I should do it for Molly," Lenny said.

The four guys talked about their girlfriends. None of them said anything that wasn't proper. Lenny and Walt admitted they had been out of line earlier and had learned an important lesson.

Eddie set his course for where they had fished in the morning. When he reached one of the waypoints, he slowed the boat to trolling speed. Jenny and Kathy set the lines while Molly and Penny watched.

It only took a half hour before Kathy yelled, "Fish on."

Eddie set the autopilot so he could watch the girls with his friends. Molly fought the fish. Lenny said she looked funny with nothing except the harness on, but he also said she looked hot. Jenny gaffed the fish when Molly had brought it to the stern. Kathy had to help Jenny drag the large dolphin through the transom door and get it onto the deck of the cockpit.

The teens fished for another two hours, catching one more wahoo. Walt had fought the fish. Brad showed Lenny how to use the gaff to bring the wahoo into the cockpit.

On the way back to the marina, the teens remained naked until Jenny told them they were two miles from the inlet. They all put on their suits before getting close enough for anyone to see them.

Chapter 19


Jenny docked the boat in the slip. Brad and Eddie tended the lines and then connected the power and water. Eddie went to get a cart so they could take the fish to the cleaning station.

"We should redesign the bait station on the boat so it can serve as a cleaning station too," Brad told Eddie while they cut the fish into steaks and filets.

"You're right, that would be a great addition. There may not be a place to clean fish if the boat is out on a long trip," Eddie said.

Lenny and Walt watched Eddie and Brad. When asked, they rinsed and bagged the meat. After they cleaned the fish and had the mess cleaned up, they headed back to the boat.

"What are you guys doing for the rest of the night?" Lenny asked.

"I'm not really sure. We have to call our parents to let them know we're back," Eddie said.

"Look, Walt and I would like to take you guys out for dinner tonight; it's the least we can do," Lenny said. "We all brought clothes so can go somewhere nice."

"You don't have to do that," Eddie said.

"Thanks, but we want to. My dad gave me money when he heard we were spending the day on your boat," Lenny said. "Why don't you call your parents and ask them if you can go to dinner?"

"We can go to dinner," Eddie said. "We're staying on the boat again tonight."

Brad and Eddie put the fish in the freezer. After talking to Jenny and Kathy, Eddie called home to see what was going on. He talked to his dad for a few minutes and then hung up.

"Where are we going to eat tonight?" Kathy asked.

"Anywhere you want to, as long as it isn't fast food," Lenny said.

"We can't go to a nice restaurant; I look like crap," Molly said.

"You can get cleaned up below. We only have one shower, but we can make do." Jenny giggled and said, "Brad and I usually shower together so we take half as long."

"Come with me; I'll show you where everything is, Molly," Kathy said.

Molly agreed. Glancing at Lenny, she smiled and then said, "Want to share the shower with me?"

"Are you kidding? You bet your sweet ass I do," Lenny said as he jumped up from the settee he was sitting on.

Kathy led the couple to the head. She returned a few minutes later and sat on Eddie's lap. "Are you going to wash my back today, Sweetie?" she said.

"Okay, if you really want me to," Eddie replied, earning a smack on his arm from Kathy.

Penny and Walt glanced at each other. Jenny saw them and smiled inwardly. She wondered if they would share the shower."

The group talked about the day. Penny mentioned how much fun she had fishing and how much fun it was to fish naked. A half hour later, Lenny and Molly came up from below.

Molly sat on one of the deckchairs, folding her arms across her chest. Eddie glanced at her. It was easy to see she was upset.

Penny stood up and asked if she could go next. Jenny told her it didn't matter who went next as long as everyone had a chance to clean up. Turning to Walt, Penny said, "Do you want to come too?"

Walt nodded his head. He followed Penny to the head and waited while Kathy told her how the shower worked. Kathy gave Penny two towels and said she'd see her in a few minutes.

"We don't have to do this," Walt said after Kathy left.

"I know, but I want to," Penny said as she gave Walt a hug. "I hope you're not disappointed now that you've seen me."

"Are you nuts? You're gorgeous."

Penny giggled and gave Walt a kiss. "Want to undress me?"

Nodding, Walt untied the top of Penny's bikini. He glued his eyes to her chest as he uncovered her breasts. With the top removed, Walt started pushing her shorts off. Penny held Walt's shoulders as he slipped her shorts and bikini bottom off her feet. Before standing up, Walt looked at Penny's mons.

"You look so good, Penny," Walt said as he looked up at her.

Penny smiled and pulled Walt to his feet. She removed his shorts, gazing at his expanding penis as she uncovered it. When they were both naked, they got into the shower. Penny and Walt took turns washing each other. When Penny stroked Walt's penis with her soapy hand, he groaned.

"If you keep that up I'm going to come," Walt said.

Penny giggled and kept her hand moving. "This is so much better that the other time I did this."

"Oh yeah!" Walt said as his semen shot out the tip of his penis, splattering against Penny's belly and leg.

"That was cool. I didn't get to see it the other time," Penny said with a giggle.

Walt put his hand between Penny's legs. She leaned against the wall while he stroked her. When Walt put his finger in her opening, she grabbed his wrist.

"Honey, I want to, but I don't what you to break my cherry with your finger. One of these days we'll do more—okay?"

"Okay, sorry."

Walt returned his hand to her vulva. Penny moaned as he stroked her and bumped her clit. After a couple minutes, Penny enjoyed an orgasm. Walt held her while she body shuddered from the pleasure. It was the first time he had caused her to climax.

Finished in the shower, Penny and Walt got of the stall to dry off. They didn't say anything for a moment, but then Penny gave Walt a hug and a tender kiss.

"I liked that, Walt, and I can't wait until we can do it again," Penny said.

"Have you thought about what I asked you to do?"

"You mean giving you a blowjob? Yeah, I've been thinking about it. Please be patient, you know this is all new to me. You're my first real boyfriend."

"I know; I'm trying. You know you're my first girlfriend too. It's just that you turn me on so much, Penny."

Penny giggled and blushed. Putting her hand on Walt's cheeks, she drew him in for a tender kiss. Their mouths opened and their tongues entwined. Walt moved his right hand to her breast, caressing it gently. Penny moaned and increased the intensity of the kiss.

"Oh, Baby, that was so nice. You've never touched my boobs like that before," Penny said softly as she kissed Walt's neck where it met his shoulder.

"I'm glad you liked it. I learned something today. I found out that girls don't like to be stared at or have their boobs squeezed too hard."

"That's partly true. I don't mind when you look at me—even stare. What I'm not fond of is when you stare at other girls. It makes me feel you don't like my little tits. I like the way you were touching me right now, but when I get turned on, I don't mind if you do it a little harder."

Grinning, Walt said, "Will you tell me what you want?"

"Yes, I'll tell you. I have before, but you didn't seem to be listening."

"I'm sorry. I promise I'll pay more attention to what you want. We had better get a move on. There are others that need to shower."

Walt and Penny finished drying themselves. Wrapped in towels, they went to the guest stateroom to get dressed. In the passageway, Jenny and Brad stood leaning against the wall. The two couples shared grins and giggles.

"Sorry we took so long," Penny said.

"No problem, did you have fun?" Jenny said.

Giggling, Penny nodded her head.

Jenny and Brad went into the head. Walt and Penny went into the stateroom to get dressed.

"You are so beautiful, Penny," Walt said while watching her.

Penny grinned and then winked at him. Taking a chance, Walt wrapped his arms around her. He guided Penny to the berth, sitting her on the edge. His eyes went from her eyes to her breasts and finally her mons.

"Penny, can I look at you for a minute?" Walt asked.

Smiling, Penny said, "Isn't that what you're doing?"

Walt knelt on the deck. Placing his hands on her knees, he applied a slight pressure. "I want to see your pussy."

Penny took a deep breath. She half closed her eyes and let her legs open. Walt watched intently as her vulva came into view. Penny felt her cheeks warm with embarrassment. It was the first time she'd been inspected so closely by someone other than her doctor.

Walt gazed at her lightly haired pink folds. His breath caught in his throat as his eyes feasted on Penny's most intimate parts. Looking up for a moment, Walt smiled. Penny's eyes met his and they smiled. Walt returned his gaze to her crotch. Leaning closer, he kissed her, letting his lips barely graze Penny's sex.

"You are so beautiful," Walt said as he stood up.

"You keep telling me that. I hope you really mean it," Penny said.

"I do, Baby, I do."

Walt pulled Penny to her feet. They embraced, holding one another snuggly. When Penny felt Walt's erection against her, she pressed her hips to his.

Penny and Walt dressed in silence, each of them lost in their own thoughts. When they went up to the salon, Penny began to blush, feeling everyone knew what she had been doing.

Molly noticed the look on Penny's face. Getting up, she took Penny's arm. "I'm going to have a smoke; come with me," Molly said.

Penny glanced at Walt and then followed Molly outside. Kathy decided to see what was up and joined the two girls in the cockpit.

"Okay, spill it, Penny. Why do you have that shit-eating grin on your face?" Molly said as she pulled a cigarette from her pack.

"Walt kissed me, you know, down there," Penny said as she used her head to indicate where she was talking about.

"What! He ate your pussy?" Molly said with a gasp.

Shaking her head, Penny said, "No, he just kissed it. It was so nice. I never knew boys really liked doing that."

Kathy giggled and said, "Oh, some do. Some guys love it."

"Lenny says he won't do it," Molly said with a huff.

"Do you give him head?" Kathy asked. When Molly nodded, Kathy shook her head. "Tit for tat. That's how it should be. If he isn't willing to do you, don't do him. That is unless you just love giving blowjobs."

"They're not my favorite. I don't mind once in a while, but not as often as Len wants me to," Molly said.

Kathy giggled. "I love it! So, Penny, you seem happy."

"I am. Walt was so different than usual. He was tender and sweet." Penny giggled. "He was so gentle when he touched my boobs; he's usually kind of rough. He said he learned girls don't like it when a guy is too rough."

"Um, I think that would be because of my brother and Eddie. My guess is the guys had a talk today," Kathy said. "They probably told Lenny and Walt we don't like to be stared at while we were sunning."

"Lenny was his usual grabby self. He got pissed at me because I wouldn't do anything when we were in the shower," Molly said.

Molly finished her cigarette, tossing the butt into the water. The girls went back into the cabin to wait until it was time for dinner. Penny scurried over to Walt and sat on his lap. He put his arms around her, holding Penny close to him.

Jenny and Brad came up and Kathy and Eddie went below to shower. When everyone was ready, the group left the boat. Eddie suggested the restaurant at the marina, saying they could walk.

The four couples enjoyed a pleasant dinner. They talked about the fish they caught, giggling at the mention of the nudity. Eddie, Brad, and their sisters watched how their friends reacted, noticing their giddiness.

On the way back to the boat, Lenny and Molly lagged behind the others so they could smoke. When they reached the boat, the group stood around in the cockpit. The sun was still warm and bright.

"What do you guys want to do now?" Brad asked. "What time do you have to be home?"

Lenny, Walt, Penny, and Molly talked between them. After a moment, Lenny said, "We don't have to be home until midnight or so."

"Want to go for a boat ride? We could cruse the ICW or take the boat outside and cruise the shoreline," Eddie said.

"I'd love to go out on the boat again," Penny said. "Can we fish this late?"

"It's only six so we still have a few hours we could fish. I'll give my parents a call and let them know what's going on," Eddie said.

Brad asked Lenny and Walt to help him with the water and power connections. Jenny went up to start the engines and Kathy tended the lines. Eddie called home to let his parents they were going out for the evening.

"Call the harbormaster, Jen," Eddie told his sister. "Dad said we can go out tonight."

Fifteen minutes later, Jenny pulled the boat out of the slip. Brad came up to the flying bridge, stood behind Jenny, and put his hands on her shoulders. She looked up at Brad, smiling when he leaned down to kiss her. The rest of the group gathered on the flying bridge to watch the scenery.

"Honey, will you take over so I can change," Jenny asked Brad.

"Sure, don't you want to fish in your dress?"

"No, I don't want to get it messed up. It's still clean enough to wear again," Jenny said as she slipped out of the helmsman's seat.

Brad took over at the helm. Jenny started down to the cockpit, followed by the other three girls. They went below to change into shorts and tee shirts.

"What's oral sex like?" Penny asked, not really talking to anyone in particular.

"It's kind of nasty if you ask me," Molly said. "Come tastes like shit!"

"I have to disagree, Molly. I love the taste and feel of come," Jenny said while Kathy quickly agreed.

Penny looked confused. Jenny smiled at her and said, "Look, everyone is different. Some people like it, some don't. You have to make up your own mind."

"Are you thinking about doing it with Walt?" Molly asked.

"Yeah, kind of. I mean he wants me to, but I'm scared of getting sick or something," Penny said.

The girls continued their conversation while changing. Kathy urged Molly out of the room, telling her they were going to get sodas for the rest of the teens. Once they were alone, Jenny invited Penny to sit down.

"Penny, don't let me, or anyone else make up your mind for you. You have to decide if you want to give Walt a blowjob and then decide if you like it. Like I said, I love it! You have no idea how much control you have when you have a guy's cock in your mouth," Jenny said.

Nodding her head, Penny said, "Um, how do you do it?"

Jenny giggled and then apologized. "It's like eating a Popsicle. You put it in your mouth as far as you can and suck a little while pulling back. At least that's what I like. Keep your hand around his cock so he doesn't try to shove it down your throat and gag you."

"How much can you take?" Penny asked.

Giggling Jenny said, "All of Eddie's."

"Wow, his looks kind of big," Penny said with a giggle.

"It's big enough for me. His isn't the biggest one I've seen, but he's not the smallest either."

"How many have you seen?"

"I don't know, a hundred maybe. We've gone to nude beaches before. You get to see a lot of cocks when you're there," Jenny said with a giggle.

Penny giggled along with Jenny. "Thanks, Jenny. It's easy to talk with you. I like Molly, but she can be so negative about things. I know she has only given Lenny two blowjobs so I don't think she really knows what she's talking about."

"Molly might not like it, Penny. Not everyone does. If you don't want to get semen in your mouth, make sure the guy tells you before he comes. Sometimes I like it when Eddie shoots his stuff on my face and boobs."

"Oh," Jenny said, "there's another benefit to giving head. Guys last longer the second time—and the third."

"Wouldn't giving him a hand job serve the same purpose?" Penny asked as she giggled.

"Sure, but it's not as much fun, not for me anyway."

"How about sixty-nine, do you like that too?" Penny asked, feeling a bit more comfortable about talking about sex.

"It's okay, but not my favorite. When I'm doing that, it's hard to concentrate. I'd rather have him do me and then I do him—or vice-versa. When I suck cock, I want to be able to give it my all. If the guy is eating me, I become distracted. I'm not saying I don't like it. Sometimes it can be fun."

"You make sex sound like it's no big deal, Jenny. Isn't it supposed to be special?"

"Of course it's special. It's even better when you love the person. Is it a big deal—no, I don't think so. I love sex. It can be fun and it can be loving, it can be both at the same time. I used to think my virginity was a big deal, but once I lost it, I realized it wasn't."

"Was Brad your first lover?"

Jenny shook her head.

"Did it hurt the first time?" Penny asked, realizing Jenny wasn't going to elaborate on her last question.

"It's more like pinching than pain from what I've been told. I ripped my cheery in a bike accident. The first time I screwed, it stretched me, but it didn't hurt. The pleasure overcame any discomfort in a split second. If you're worried about the pain, use something first. That way you can control it. Although being on top lets you control it too."

"Doesn't it make you feel dirty?" Penny asked.

Jenny used her finger to tap on Penny's head. "It depends on what's in here," Jenny moved her finger to Penny's chest, "and in here. No one can think or feel for you, Penny. If you think sex is nasty or wrong, then it will be. If you think it isn't, then it won't be. Either way, it's up to you. You have to make your own decisions and then live with them."

"How come you know so much about it?" Penny asked.

"My mom tells me. I can talk to Mom about anything."

"That must be nice. I wish my mom was as understanding as yours is. My mom would go ballistic if I asked her about sex."

"How do you know?" Have you ever talked to her about it?" Jenny said.

"No, I could never do that. Mom doesn't like the fact I'm going steady with Walt."

"That's too bad. My mom is my best friend," Jenny said. "Maybe you should talk to your mom. She might surprise you. Worst case, everything stays the same."

"I don't know. My older sister got pregnant when she was seventeen. When mom found out I was getting interested in boys, she took me to the doctor to get me birth control pills. She didn't even ask me if I was doing anything or if I was planning to."

Jenny giggled and then said, "Well, maybe your mom is smarter than you give her credit for. When I did it the first time, it wasn't something I planned. It just happened. I was really glad I was taking the pill."

"Thanks for talking to me, Jenny. You have answered a lot of questions for me," Penny said.

Jenny gave Penny a hug and said, "You can call me anytime you want to talk."

Jenny and Penny went up to the flying bridge. When Walt asked what was going on, Jenny laughed and said, "Penny and I were having sex."

"WE WERE NOT!" Penny screamed and then she giggled. "I was just talking to Jenny about a few things, Honey."

Brad slowed the boat and asked Jenny to take the wheel. The guys went to the cockpit to rig the rods Eddie, Lenny, and Walt had pulled out while Jenny and Penny were talking. Lenny and Walt set the lines while Brad and Eddie told them what to do.

With the lines in the water, Brad and Eddie went up to the flying bridge. Eddie told Molly and Penny to go to the cockpit and fish with their boyfriends. The two girls scrambled down the steps to be with Walt and Lenny.

Eddie and Brad stood at the rail, watching the baits and rods. Brad yelled down, telling one of the group to put on a harness. After a brief discussion, they decided Penny would be first. Walt helped Penny into the harness, sliding his hands over her butt, up her sides, and to the sides of her breasts. He didn't linger, but let Penny know he was touching her.

Jenny trolled over the waypoints they had marked earlier in the day with no successes. After an hour of fishing, Eddie said they should make a move.

"Let's run out and see if we can pick up a sail," Eddie said. "Brad and I will go down and re-rig."

Kathy said she would help. The three of them went to the cockpit and told their friends they were going to move. With the help of Lenny and Walt, they reeled the lines in and placed the rods in holders. Eddie told Jenny they were ready. The boat surged, coming up on plane.

"We're going to change to lures," Brad said. "It looks like the wahoo and dolphin have moved."

Eddie and Brad removed the live baits from the lines, replacing them with teasers and lures with large hooks. Kathy explained the change in the method of fishing to Walt, Lenny, Penny, and Molly.

Jenny reached the area she wanted to fish, slowed the boat, and set her course. Eddie and Brad put the teasers out and told the others what to look for. Eddie and Walt set the portside outrigger while Brad and Lenny set the starboard side.

"I'll go up and watch," Kathy said. "Walt, you can come up and help me."

"This can be very different than what we did earlier," Eddie said. "If we hook up with a large fish, we have to use the boat to help land it. When we get a fish on, we'll want to clear the other lines as fast as we can."

Turning to Penny, Eddie said, "These fish can fight a lot harder than the ones we caught today. You have to use your legs and back to fight them. When we hook up, I'll help you. Just do whatever I say."

"Okay, I'll do my best," Penny said.

Jenny steered in a lazy S pattern. Kathy and Walt stood at the rail, watching for a dark shadow that would signal a fish. Pointing at the water, Walt said, "What's that, Kathy?"

"That is a fish. Hey, fish following the starboard rigger," Kathy yelled down to her brother and Eddie.

Eddie took one of the rods with a lure on it. He gave it to Penny, telling her what to do. Brad grabbed the teaser rod and began reeling it in. Eddie told Penny to feed the lure to the fish in hopes it would switch and take the hook.

Kathy yelled down to Lenny and Molly, telling them to reel in the other teasers. They moved quickly, but also watched the shadow of the fish in the water.

When the fish hit the lure, Penny screeched. Listening to Eddie, she pulled back on the rod to set the hook. Once the hook was set, the reel began to scream as the fish made its first run at freedom.

Eddie coached Penny, telling her when to reel; and when to let the fish run. Jenny did what Eddie told her, chattering all the while. Walt stayed up on the flying bridge, watching his girlfriend fight the fish.

"You should get your camera, Walt. Penny would love to have pictures of this," Kathy said.

"Right, I'll be back in a minute," Walt replied.

On his way to the cabin, Walt stopped in the cockpit to encourage Penny. She thanked him, but didn't take her eyes off the water.

Walt retrieved his camera. He took a few shots of Penny from the cockpit and then went back to the flying bridge. Pointing his camera at Penny, he took several more shots.

"Keep your camera pointed out there," Kathy said while pointing. "I think the fish is going to jump."

Walt watched through the viewfinder. A few moments later, Kathy said, "She's coming up!"

The sailfish came out of the water, dancing across the surface on its tail. Penny froze, watching the acrobatic fish perform the dance. Eddie told Penny to keep reeling to take up the slack.

By the time the forty-five minute fight ended, Penny was exhausted. Brad pulled the fish into the cockpit so Penny could have her picture taken with it. Brad and Eddie hoisted the fish up while Penny stood next to it with the rod in her hand. Walt took several pictures of her while she beamed.

Eddie tagged the fish, held it in the water to revive it and then let it go. While Penny babbled about the hard fought battle, Eddie and Brad reset the teasers. Penny removed the harness and held it up. Molly reached for the device, but Lenny grabbed it and began putting it on. When she said something, Lenny told Molly she could be next after he caught a fish.

The next fish was a juvenile sail. Lenny hooked it up and fought it for less than twenty minutes. After taking pictures, Brad tagged, revived, and released the fish. Molly was still upset with the way Lenny took the harness from her. Eddie told Lenny to take the harness off and helped Molly put it on.

"Just wait, we'll get you a nice fish, Molly," Eddie said softly.

Kathy and Penny stood at the rail, watching for the next fish. When she saw a shadow in the water, Kathy pointed it out to Penny.

"Okay, yell, 'Fish on the port teaser' as loud as you can," Kathy told Penny.

Penny yelled at the top of her voice. Eddie looked up, smiled and went into action. He helped Molly while Brad and Walt cleared the lines. The fish wasn't cooperating. Eddie took the rod from Molly and moved the lure between the fish and the teaser. When the fish shifted its attention to the lure, Eddie let out enough slack so the fish could grab the lure. Kathy yelled down and Eddie set the hook.

"We better strap you to the reel," Eddie said as he passed the rod to Molly. "That fish looks like a big one."

Standing behind her, Eddie clipped the straps to the eyelets on the reel. Molly felt Eddie behind her, giggling when he pressed against her bottom.

"Okay, I hope you're ready," Eddie said while the reel sang. "This isn't going to be easy. If you get too tired, let me know and I'll take over for you."

"I'm going to catch this fish if it kills me. I'm going to show my asshole boyfriend he should have waited!" Molly said.

Lenny was still telling Walt about his fish and not paying any attention to Molly or Eddie. From the flying bridge, Kathy saw everything. She grinned, knowing that Eddie was making sure Molly enjoyed herself.

"I think Eddie is flirting with Molly," Penny said and then she giggled.

"Yup, he sure is," Kathy said.

"It doesn't bother you?"

"Not at all. I know what he doing. Has Lenny always treated Molly like that?" Kathy asked.

"I don't really know. Molly is my friend, but I don't know Lenny that well. He introduced me to Walt a few months ago and now we double on the weekends. He can be a jerk," Penny said. "Sometimes I wish Walt and Lenny weren't joined at the hip."

"You can change that, Penny. Just tell Walt you want to go out without Lenny and Molly once in a while," Kathy said.

In the cockpit, the action was heating up. The large fish made the first of several jumps, causing Molly to giggle. Eddie stayed at her side, giving Molly pointers on how to handle the fish.

"Use your legs, Molly. They're stronger than your arms," Eddie said as he put his hand on her lower back. "Get your cute butt into it too."

Molly giggled at what Eddie said. She leaned back against the tension the fish was placing on the line, using her legs to gain line. When Lenny saw the fish jump, he stopped talking to Walt.

"Holly shit! Did you see the size of that fish? Molly, you better let me take over for you," Lenny said.

"Molly is doing fine, Lenny," Brad said. "Eddie knows what he's doing and will help Molly catch it."

The fish made a run to port. Jenny used the shifters to turn the boat into the fish and let Molly gain some line. When the fish began to run straight back, Jenny backed down on it. The waves splashed over the transom, soaking Molly and Eddie. Lenny managed to jump back, but Walt got soaked when caught off guard. By the time the fish began to wear down, Molly and Eddie were dripping wet.

On the flying bridge, Penny and Kathy giggled as they watched. Penny had loosened up. She made comments about Lenny and his chauvinist attitude.

Eddie began yelling up to Jenny, giving her directions. The hour-long battle was nearing its end. The fish made a few half-hearted runs, but Molly was the victor. Eddie kept encouraging Molly right up to the point Brad opened the transom door. He went to help Brad and Walt wrestle the marlin into the cockpit so Molly could have her picture taken with the fish.

"Oh my God! This fish is taller than I am," Molly said while posing with the fish.

Lenny tried to be excited for Molly, but it was easy to see he was put off by the fact her fish made the one he caught look very small by comparison. When Molly asked Lenny to get into the picture, he did so reluctantly.

"How much do you think that thing weighs?" Walt asked while helping Brad hold on to the fish's bill, keeping water flowing through its gills.

"Two-fifty, maybe three hundred pounds," Brad said, purposely over estimating the weight of the fish. "It's one of the biggest we've ever taken."

Brad said what he did loud enough for everyone in the cockpit to hear him. Molly bounced on the balls of her feet while Lenny huffed. Eddie smiled while watching Lenny act like a child.

The fish gained enough strength to swim on its own. Brad and Walt released the fish, watching it disappear into the water. Eddie came over to Walt with the harness.

Walt took the harness from Eddie. When Eddie glanced up at Penny and smiled, Walt seemed to catch on. Holding the harness at arm's length, Walt looked up at his smiling girlfriend.

"You want to fish again, Penny?" Walt asked.

Penny ran down the steps. She put her arms around Walt's neck, kissed him, and then said, "Thanks, Baby, but it's your turn."

"I know, but you can take my turn if you want to," Walt said.

From behind the couple, Lenny made a comment about Walt being pussy-whipped. Walt and Penny ignored Lenny.

"I'll help you put the harness on, Baby. I really want to see you catch the next fish," Penny said.

Penny helped Walt step into the harness. While pulling it up his legs, she made sure her hand brushed his crotch. Penny grinned at Walt, moving her hand against his genitals. "There you go, all you have to do is catch a fish now," Penny said and then she kissed Walt again. "I'm going to go up and watch with Kathy and Jenny."

Walt helped Brad and Eddie with the rods. Lenny stood against the bulkhead to the cabin with Molly next to him.

"Why are you being like this, Len?" Molly asked.

"Like what?" Lenny replied.

"You're pouting because I caught a bigger fish."

"I'm not pouting—just shut up!" Lenny said.

Molly moved away from Lenny. She went up to the flying bridge, sitting down hard on one of the seats. Crossing her arms over her chest, Molly sulked.

"Kathy, take the helm for me," Jenny said. "I'm going to take Molly down and get her out of those wet clothes."

Jenny and Kathy switched places. Molly got up when Jenny offered her hand and followed Jenny to the cabin. When they reached the head, Jenny said, "Take those things off. Do you have anything else to wear?"

"Yeah, I have my skirt and a top in my bag." Molly said as she stripped. "I don't have any dry underwear though."

"Oh well, go without undies," Jenny said with a giggle.

Molly put on her dry things. Jenny took the wet clothes to the dryer and tossed them in. Molly was surprised that the boat was equipped with a washer and dryer.

"Lenny's being a prick, isn't he?" Molly said.

"It seems he has an ego, that's for sure," Jenny said, not really wanting to become involved in Molly's problem.

"I'm going to dump him, Jenny. The only thing he wants from me is sex. I can get that anywhere. I'm so sorry he's acting the way he is."

"It's not your fault, Molly. You're not responsible for what he does or how he acts."

"I know, but he just makes me so mad sometimes. I was planning to breakup with him, but this is the last straw. I'm tired of being treated like shit and having my love life spread all over school," Molly said. "The more I think about it, the less the idea hurts."

"I wish I could say something to help, but I know I can't," Jenny said.

"Your brother Eddie is a real sweetheart, isn't he?" Molly said.

"Yes he is. He's also in love with Kathy," Jenny replied.

"I know he is. I'm not saying I want to go out with Eddie, but I wouldn't mind having him for a friend. I'd like to be friends with all of you."

"That's cool. I would like that too, Molly. Let's get back. I want to see if we can find another fish for Walt."

"Walt is really nice too. I know Lenny brags to Walt about what we've done and I know he's never said anything to Penny."

"That's what gentlemen do," Jenny said.

The two girls went back up to the flying bridge. Molly told Jenny she wouldn't make a scene on the boat and Jenny thanked her.

"I think Walt wants to get lucky," Jenny told Penny. "I saw what he did when it was his turn to fish."

Penny giggled and nodded. "He just might."

Walt hooked up with a small sailfish. With Brad's help, he managed to get the fish onto the boat. After Penny took pictures of Walt and his fish, Eddie released it.

"I think yours is bigger than Lenny's, Baby," Penny said.

Walt looked at his girlfriend, laughing when she winked at him.

The teens fished for another half hour. The last fish came up and Penny told Lenny he could catch it. After a short fight, they tagged and released the fish. Lenny was happier, but he still sulked. On the ride back to the marina, Lenny stayed in the cockpit and smoked while the rest of the group sat on the flying bridge.

It was getting dark when Jenny guided the boat into the slip. Eddie and Brad tied it to the pilings and then connected the water and electrical. Walt helped them with the lines. On the flying bridge, Jenny shut down the boat.

Molly looked at Penny and frowned. She had something she had to do and knew it would cut Penny's night short. Sitting next to her friend, Molly said, "I'm sorry, but we have to go, Pen. I have something I have to take care of."

"What's going on?" Penny asked.

"Lenny. I'm going to breakup with him. I just can't deal with him anymore," Molly said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I've been thinking about it for a while now. He treats me like crap and all he wants to do is have sex. I like him, but it isn't worth it."

Penny hugged Molly. "I'm so sorry for you," Penny said.

"Don't be, I'm not sorry for myself. Lenny is just one of those guys that's more interested in himself than anyone else. After being around Brad, Eddie, Jenny, and Kathy, I know I can do better."

"Okay, I guess I understand, Molly. Let me get my things and we'll go," Penny said.

"You and Walt can stay if you want to, Penny. We'll take you home later," Jenny said.

"Really? Molly, would you mind?" Penny said.

"No, in fact it might be better that way. I have to get my things out of the dryer and change," Molly said.

"Dryer, what dryer?" Penny said.

Giggling, Molly said, "The boat has a washer and dryer on it. Come on, I'll show you."

Molly and Penny went below to get Molly's clothes. Penny was amazed when she saw the washer and dryer. Molly changed into her dry underwear, shorts, and top. She packed her things in her duffle bag and gave Penny a hug.

"Wish me luck, Pen," Molly said as she fought back the tears.

Jenny met the two girls in the passageway. She told Penny that she had talked to Walt and let him know he and Penny were staying for a while. Jenny told Walt to ask Penny what was going on when he asked.

Molly was sad as she told Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy goodbye. Lenny looked confused, but Molly was able to keep him in the dark. Penny and Molly hugged before Molly and Lenny left the boat.

"What's going on, Penny?" Walt asked.

"Molly is going to dump Lenny. She's sick and tired of the way he treats her," Penny said.

"I guess I should have seen that coming. He doesn't treat her very well, does he?" Walt said.

"It's between them, Honey. I don't want to get involved in it. Molly has to do what's best for her," Penny said. "Let's not think about it, okay?"

Walt nodded. He led Penny to the settee, pulling her onto his lap. Kathy turned on the stereo and loaded the CD player. Jenny offered everyone sodas, passing them out to those that wanted one.

"This has been a great day," Walt said. "I don't know how to thank you guys for inviting us."

"We had a good time too. I'm glad we were able to catch a few fish," Eddie replied.

"I feel I have to apologize for the way Lenny acted today," Walt said. "I know he can be weird, but I've never seen him this bad."

"No need for you to apologize for him," Kathy said.

"How often do you guys go fishing?" Penny asked, trying to change the subject.

"As often as we can. We try to get out at least every other weekend. The practice is good for us," Eddie said.

"Do you always stay on the boat?" Penny said.

"Not always, but we do whenever we get the chance," Jenny said. "I hope you two can get out with us again."

"I'd like that. I had so much fun today," Penny said and then she giggled. "I'd like to go skinny dipping again."

Everyone laughed. Walt hugged Penny a little tighter and said, "Yeah, I'd like to do that again too."

Wiggling in his lap, Penny said, "I'll bet you would." She giggled, leaned back, and whispered to Walt. "I'd like to see you naked again."

Jenny snuggled against Brad. The group chatted for a little while, talking about the day, school, and their plans for the summer. Jenny began kissing Brad. They hugged and made out while Eddie, Kathy, Penny, and Walt talked. Before long, Kathy and Eddie were kissing.

Penny turned on Walt's lap. She placed her lips to his, kissing him deeply. Walt moved his hand on Penny's side, brushing his thumb against her breast. The session went on for about twenty minutes. Jenny glanced at Penny and Walt, giggling when she noticed Walt had his hand under Penny's shirt.

Jenny pulled her head away from Brad. "Hey Penny, have you shown Walt the washer and dryer yet?"

Penny looked at Jenny. When Jenny smiled at her, Penny grinned. "No I haven't. I should probably do that."

Walt looked confused. Penny got up, reaching for his hand. She led him below, smiling as she went.

"What's this all about? I don't care about a washing machine," Walt said.

"Neither do I," Penny said with a smirk.

Penny led Walt into the guest stateroom. She closed the door and put her arms around Walt. They began kissing tenderly, but soon the kissed intensified. Penny stepped back and removed her top. Reaching behind her, she unfastened her bra. Walt stared as she pulled his shirt over his head.

When Walt moved Penny to the bed, she didn't protest. They stretched out facing one another and resumed their kissing. Penny moaned as Walt rubbed her breasts.

Penny cocked her head when Walt began kissing her neck. She used one hand to guide him to her breasts, sucking in a deep breath when his lips captured a nipple. Penny rubbed the back of Walt's head and cooed while he suckled her breast.

Walt moved one of his hands down her stomach to the waistband of her shorts. When he tried to slide his hand into the shorts, Penny lifted his head from her breast.

"Baby, I'm not ready to go all the way. I'm scared, but I trust you. Will you stop if I tell you to?" Penny asked.

Walt propped his head on his hand. Looking into Penny's eyes, he pulled the hand at her waistband up to her cheek. Walt rubbed the side of her face with his fingertips and then brushed a few strands of hair off her forehead.

"Penny, I really care for you. I won't do anything you don't want me to do. You're right; you can trust me and I will stop if you tell me to," Walt said.

Smiling, Penny said, "Thank you. I've been thinking about a few things today, things I want to try. Can we just have fun and not get too serious right now?"

"Penny, it's too late. I'm already serious about you," Walt said.

"You're so sweet. That's not what I meant. I don't want to get carried away."

Grinning, Walt said, "You're the boss, Honey."

With that, Penny pulled his mouth back to her breast. She reached for her shorts, unbuttoning them and lowered the zipper. When Walt's hand moved down her stomach again, he found his quest unobstructed. Penny let out a moan when she felt his fingertips stroking her pubic hair. She pulled his head tighter to her breast and ran her fingers through his hair. When Walt began pushing her shorts down, Penny lifted her bottom.

Walt began kissing her breasts. He moved his tongue over her nipples and then under each mound. Penny kicked her shorts off her legs, opening them to Walt's hand. He continued kissing her chest while rubbing the palm of his hand over her splayed sex.

Penny put her hand under Walt's chin. When he looked up, she smiled and said, "Don't rub so fast down there."

Walt winked as he nodded his head. He went back to kissing her breasts and the flesh below them while his hand moved slowly over her vulva. When he dipped a finger between her labia, Penny stiffened. Walt rubbed gently, but didn't try to penetrate her. His finger touched her clit and Penny let out a throaty grown while moving her hips.

"Yes, right there. Touch my clit," Penny said in a low voice.

Walt did as she asked. His finger collected some of the moisture from her vagina, being careful not to go too deep. Pulling his slick finger up to Penny's clitoris, he gently rubbed her.

Penny felt her body responding like never before. Walt's finger was sending jolts of pleasure through her and his lips felt hot on her skin. Penny barely noticed that Walt was kissing lower on her torso. That is until she felt his lips on her mons. For a moment she panicked, but once again she let her feelings guide her. Walt slid lower, moving his body between her legs.

Looking up, Walt captured Penny's gaze with his. He held her eyes as he lowered his head and kissed the tuft of hair that adorned her mons. When he extended his tongue and touched it to her clit, Penny's eyes hooded.

"Oh yes, yes, please..." Penny mumbled.

Walt lowered his head, swiping the flat of his tongue against Penny's vulva. When his tongue probed her opening, Penny cursed her hymen. For the first time in her life, she wished the obstruction wasn't guarding her virtue. Penny's hips rocked uncontrollably. Walt mouthed her sex, using his tongue on her labia and clitoris.

Penny clutched her breasts, pinching them as her climax built. Walt slipped his hands under her bottom, pulling her to his mouth. When Penny came, she chanted Walt's name.

The orgasm was so intense Penny saw white dots floating in the air. She relaxed her grip on her breasts as her body shook and began to spasm. When the feeling became too intense, she closed her legs, forcing Walt's face out from between them. Walt moved up Penny's body. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her to him as she rode out the best orgasm she'd ever had.

"Are you okay, Baby?" Walt whispered.

Penny nodded her head. Walt kissed her lips lightly. She moaned, grabbed his head and pulled their mouths together. The kiss was almost perfect, topping off the new experience.

"That was—it was, damn! I don't know how to describe it," Penny said.

"It was awesome for me too," Walt said.

Penny rolled Walt off her heaving body. She snuggled against him, moving her hand to the snap on his shorts. Penny opened the snap and lowered the zipper. Reaching in, she found his rigid penis. Her fingers curled around the hot shaft while she ran her thumb over the slick glans.

"I want to do something for you now," Penny said. She slid down Walt's body until her head was resting on his belly. "Please tell me what you like."

"Baby, I don't know what I like, but what you're doing is driving me nuts," Walt replied.

Penny removed Walt's shorts. She knelt between his legs, looking into his eyes while stroking his penis. Holding his gaze, she lowered her head.

Using her tongue, Penny sampled the clear fluid oozing from the slit in the tip of Walt's penis. Finding it had virtually no taste, she kissed the helmet shaped glans. The more she kissed his penis, the more she enjoyed the look on his face.

Penny kissed the length of Walt's member. She pushed it against his stomach, inspecting his testicles before kissing the orbs. Walt flinched when she pushed at his scrotum with her tongue. Flattening her tongue against his penis, Penny licked her way to the head.

Walt couldn't take his eyes off Penny. When she opened her mouth and covered the head of his penis, he groaned. She clamped her lips around the shaft, testing the rubbery glans with her tongue. Slowly, Penny descended on his member. Remembering what Jenny told her, she kept her hand wrapped around his shaft.

It almost seemed natural to Penny as she moved her head up and down, feeling Walt's penis glide across her lips. She found the idea of having the organ in her mouth wasn't the least bit offensive. Wanting to know how much she could take, Penny lowered her hand on his shaft. She let his penis slide into her mouth until she gagged. Pulling back, she readjusted the hand Penny used as a gauge.

Walt felt the familiar feeling he got when he played with himself. Gripping the sheets, he warned Penny of his impending climax. She kept her mouth around his penis, bracing herself for what was sure to happen. Walt's hips moved up and down on the bed. His penis swelled in Penny's mouth and then erupted. While she thought she was ready, nothing could have prepared Penny for the jet of hot semen that splattered the inside of her mouth.

Penny recoiled, pulling her mouth off Walt's surging penis. His semen shot against her chin as she tried to come to grips with what was happening. Using her hand, she pumped his penis, sending a couple more spurts of his creamy semen out the tip. While she stroked Walt, she tasted his semen. The texture was unsettling, but the flavor wasn't as bad as she thought it would be.

Swallowing, Penny returned her mouth to Walt's member. She laved it with her tongue, collecting more of his semen. After a moment, Penny removed her mouth and looked up at Walt. She kept one hand wrapped around his member while using the other to scrape the semen from her chin. When Penny popped the finger into her mouth, Walt's eyes opened wide.

Penny smiled at Walt. "Well, was it okay?" she asked.

Walt sat up, put his arms around Penny and gave her a kiss. He could taste himself, but the feelings inside him overcame any negative thoughts.

"That was the best blowjob I've ever had," Walt said with a grin.

"Just how many have you had?" Penny asked, knowing he was teasing.

"One, counting that one," Walt said.

Penny giggled for a moment. She snuggled against Walt and sighed when she felt his hands moving over her back. They talked about what they had experienced. Penny told Walt she liked the feeling of his tongue on her vagina and the feeling of his penis in her mouth. Walt told Penny he loved going down on her.

They snuggled for a few minutes. Finally, they cleaned up and redressed. When Penny and Walt went back to the salon, they couldn't help blushing. Jenny grinned at Penny. When Penny licked her lips, Jenny giggled.

Penny and Walt felt uneasy for a few moments, but Jenny quickly brightened things up. She glanced at Kathy giggled and said, "If you two would have come up any sooner, you'd have caught Kathy and I having desert."

Penny blushed and said, "Um, if you'd come down to the stateroom, you'd have caught me doing the same thing."

Covering her face with her hands, Penny mumbled, "I can't believe I just said that!"

Kathy and Jenny assured Penny she was in good company and that no one would make fun of her. Penny lifted her head and smiled. When Kathy said, "Good, isn't it?" Penny blushed again.

"Leave her alone," Eddie said. "Can't you tell she isn't like you two?"

"Just what's that supposed to mean?" Jenny said.

"It means Penny isn't a horny nymph like two other girls I know," Brad said.

Penny giggled and said, "Maybe not yet, but I have a feeling I'm on my way."

Walt was so embarrassed he couldn't talk. His face burned and he pulled at the collar of his shirt. Penny gave Walt a hug and kiss. She whispered in his ear, telling him how good he did when he went down on her.

Penny got off Walt's legs and asked if she could have a soda. When Eddie told her to make herself at home, Penny giggled.

"Come on Walt, let's go back to bed," Penny said. "Just kidding, want a soda, Baby?"

Penny went to get sodas for Walt, Brad, and her. When she returned to the salon, she sat on Walt's lap.

"I wish we could stay here all night," Penny said.

"You're welcome to stay if it's okay with your parents," Eddie said.

Penny grinned and turned to Walt. "I could tell my mom I'm staying at Molly's and you could say you're staying at Lenny's."

"That isn't going to work," Jenny said. "That would be lying and it wouldn't be right. Why don't you just tell her you're staying here on the boat?"

"I couldn't do that. My mom doesn't know you and she would never agree to let me stay the night," Penny said.

"Couldn't your mom call ours?" Eddie asked.

"I don't know, maybe. I guess the worst thing that can happen is she says no," Penny said. "How about you, Walt? Do you think you could stay?"

"I wouldn't have any problem, Hun. My parents would let me stay as long as they knew where I was," Walt answered.

Penny shrugged her shoulders. She borrowed Jenny's cell phone and called home. After talking with her mother for a few minutes, Penny asked Jenny for the number to her house. Jenny gave Penny the number and she relayed it to her mom.

"She's going to call your mom, Jenny. I can't believe it!" Penny said.

A few minutes later, the cell phone rang. Jenny answered and said, "Hello." After talking for a moment, she handed the telephone to Penny.

Penny talked to her mother for a few minutes. As she talked, she began to bounce. After thanking her mother several times, Penny hung up.

"She said I can stay," Penny said gleefully. "It turns out my mom works with your mom, Kathy. They know each other."

"You've got to be kidding," Kathy said. "That's so cool."

Walt called home. He talked to his dad, telling him what a great time he had fishing and about the fish that they caught. Walt asked about staying and nodded when his father said yes.

"All set," Walt said. "My dad asked if he could go fishing someday."

"Sure, someday we'll take him out, Walt." Jenny said.

"Do you think we can go fishing in the morning?" Walt asked.

"That would be cool, I'd love to catch a fish like Molly caught," Penny said.

"I don't see why not. I think it's supposed to be a nice day tomorrow," Eddie said. "Maybe there'll be enough of a breeze to fly the kites. We really need to get some practice with them."

"You use kites to fish?" Walt said.

Brad and Eddie explained the theory behind kite fishing. Jenny, Kathy, and Penny went out to the cockpit to enjoy the evening and talk.

"So are you going to tell us what happened?" Jenny asked Penny.

Penny giggled and said, "We had oral sex. It was the most wonderful thing I've ever felt."

"Giving or receiving?" Kathy asked.

"I loved it when Walt did it to me. It was okay when I did it to him—I didn't hate it," Penny said.

"It can take some getting used to, Penny. I know I had to do it a couple times before I began loving it," Kathy said and then she laughed.

While the girls were talking, Molly came down the pier.

Chapter 20


"Hi, Molly, are you okay?" Penny asked as Molly came aboard.

"I'm fine, Penny. Lenny and I talked. I told him I didn't want to go out with him anymore."

"How did he take it?"

Molly shrugged her shoulders. "It was weird. He didn't seem surprised or upset when I told him."

"Did you tell him why you were breaking up with him?" Jenny asked.

"Yeah, I told him that I was tired of him acting like a little kid. When he got all pissed off because of the fishing, I knew it was time. Earlier, when we were in the shower, he got mad because I didn't want to give him a blowjob. He asked me why and I told him that it was always one-way—we only did what he wanted, not what I wanted.

"This has been building for a while. I'm just sorry that it happened today. I was having fun and then he went and ruined it. I hope Lenny didn't fuck things for the rest of you," Molly said.

"Was Lenny your first boyfriend?" Kathy asked.

"No, I've had other boyfriends. Lenny was the only one I've slept with. I still don't know why I let him talk me into going all the way. He told me he loved me and all that stuff. I believed him. Now half the kids at school know I put out." Molly pulled a cigarette out of her purse and lit it.

"What now?" Penny asked.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. She took a drag off her cigarette, letting the smoke swirl around her head as she exhaled. Looking at the cigarette, Molly tossed it in the water.

"The first thing I'm going to do is quit that nasty habit. I started smoking because I heard it would help keep me from getting fat," Molly said.

"You're not fat, Molly," Penny said, interrupting Molly.

Molly looked down at her body. She put her hand on her stomach, moving them to her hips. "I'm not thin, not like you guys."

"You and I are about the same size, Molly," Kathy said. "You have nothing to be worried about."

"Thanks. Anyway, I guess I'll just wait until I find a guy that wants me for more than my tits and pussy. Don't take this wrong, Kathy, but today when Eddie was helping me catch my fish; I couldn't help thinking about how nice it would be to have a boyfriend like him.

"Eddie was so nice and helpful. He didn't treat me as if I was dumb or unable to do things. Lenny never said anything encouraging to me." Molly giggled and then said, "That's not entirely true, that jerk used to encourage me to have sex even if I didn't feel like it."

"You sure seem to be taking this well," Jenny said.

"What am I going to do? I'm sure as hell not going to spend a minute moping around. Like I said, this has been coming for a while. I would have broken up with him after the party, but I wanted to go on the boat with you guys."

"You could have come along. We don't make a boyfriend a requirement," Jenny said, causing the girls to giggle.

"I would have felt like a fifth wheel," Molly said.

"Want to come in and have a soda or something?" Kathy asked.

"Yes, if you don't mind. No one is home at my house. Lenny and I were going to spend the night together," Molly said.

Penny grinned and said, "Walt and I are spending the night on the boat. We're going fishing tomorrow."

"No way! What did you tell your mom? Did you tell her you were staying at my house?" Molly said.

"No, Jenny and Kathy wouldn't let me tell Mom that. I called her and asked. My mom called Jenny's parents and then called me and said I could stay on the boat. It turns out my mom works with Kathy's mom at the law office," Penny said.

The girls went into the cabin. After giving the guys a quick rundown about Molly and Lenny, the girls went to the galley. Jenny passed out sodas and they sat at the dinette.

"How did you get back here?" Penny asked.

"Lenny dropped me off at home. I took my mom's car and came back. I hope you don't mind. I didn't want to be alone," Molly said.

"No problem, you're welcome here. If you want to, you can stay and go out with us in the morning," Jenny said.

"Thanks, but I would feel like I was in the way. You guys want to have fun with your boyfriends and I would just mess that up," Molly said.

"No you wouldn't," Kathy said and then she giggled. "You can sleep with Eddie and me. I lend him out to girls who need to be cuddled."

"You're crazy, Kathy. You would never let your cute boyfriend do anything like that?" Molly said.

Jenny began giggling. Kathy turned around and said, "Hey, Eddie, can Molly shack up with us tonight?"

"As long as she doesn't snore," Eddie said.

"You guys are nuts! You are kidding—aren't you? I mean you would never let Eddie fool around with another girl?" Molly said.

"Eddie can do what he wants. We don't own each other. I know he loves me and I'm not the jealous type," Kathy said.

"Eddie would let you fool around?" Penny asked.

"It isn't a matter of letting me do anything. If I wanted to get a little strange cock or pussy, I would tell him. We would talk about it and, if we were both cool, well you know," Kathy said.

Penny sat with her mouth hanging open. After a moment she whispered, "Did you say pussy?"

Kathy nodded. "You know, sometimes being with a girl is just what the doctor ordered."

"Are you telling us you're bi?" Molly said.

"Both of us are. Kathy more so than me, but I like to fool around with a girl now and then," Jenny said. "We don't hunt for girls, but we've been known to have some fun. It's no big deal."

"It sounds like you guys don't think sex is a big deal at all," Molly said.

"We don't, Molly. Sex is just something that brings pleasure. Don't get me wrong, I love Eddie. I would never cheat on him, or any guy I was going with. For me, sex is a lot like fishing, its fun," Kathy said and then she smiled. "Making love is marvelous!

"Jenny told me the same thing. I'm still having trouble understanding it," Penny said.

"Actually, it makes sense to me," Molly said. "I have to add that sex isn't always fun, not if you're not into it. Lenny made me feel dirty sometimes. He acted like I owed it to him."

"That would suck! If a guy ever treated me like that, I'd dump him too," Jenny said. "Anyway, you're welcome to stay tonight, Molly. We have plenty of room."

Molly looked at Penny and said, "Are you sleeping with Walt tonight?"

Penny giggled as she nodded her head. "I want to."

"You said you weren't ready for that." Molly said.

"I'm not, but Walt won't do anything I don't want him to." Penny giggled and leaned across the table. Whispering, she said, "We fooled around today. He went down on me and I gave him a blowjob. We talked and agreed to wait for anything else, at least for now."

Molly smiled at Penny. "You're so lucky to have a guy that isn't pushing you. Lenny was so persistent I finally gave in just to stop his begging. I really regret doing it now."

"Didn't you like it?" Jenny asked.

"I like screwing, I like it a lot. I just didn't like it with Lenny after while. I don't think it should be something that is expected. It was good when we were both into it, but many times he just wanted to fuck me," Molly said.

"That can be fun too," Kathy said. "I love it when Eddie gets randy. He's been known to bend me over this table and have at it."

"Don't you feel used when he does that?" Molly asked. "When Lenny did me in the car like that, I felt like shit."

"No, not at all. Remember, we're in love. When we do things like that, we both know what's going on. Most of the time we make love, but once in a while I like it when he just takes me. I do the same to him," Kathy said.

"So it doesn't bother you when he grabs your boobs and things like that?" Molly asked.

"Eddie doesn't do that, not as far as I'm concerned. He'll stand behind me and feel me up, or put his hand on my pussy, but it doesn't feel like he's groping me. You have to understand, Eddie and I have talked for hours about what we like and dislike. I know what's cool for me to do to him and he knows what's cool for him to do to me," Kathy said.

"Brad and I have the same relationship. As Kathy said, we talk. If you don't talk, you'll never know what the other one wants, or doesn't like," Jenny said.

"You learned all this from your mom?" Penny said.

When Jenny nodded, Molly said, "You talk to your mom about this stuff?"

"Sure, all the time. Mom is really cool about sex and things," Jenny said.

"Mrs. Shockley talks to my mom too. Since they became friends, my mom has become very understanding," Kathy said.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to change and get comfy. Molly, are you staying tonight? You're more than welcome," Jenny said.

"I'd like to, but I didn't bring any clothes or anything," Molly said.

"We have clothes on the boat. What else do you need?" Kathy said.

"Um, a toothbrush would be nice."

"No problem, we keep new toothbrushes and things like that on the boat for guests. We even have tampons," Jenny said with a giggle.

"Where will I sleep? There are only two bedrooms—oops, I mean staterooms," Molly said.

"I told you, you can sleep with Eddie and me in the master stateroom. Penny and Walt can take the guest room and Jenny and Brad can sleep in the salon. Or, Eddie and I will sleep in the salon and you can sleep with Jenny and Brad," Kathy said.

"You're crazy. What would you do if I called your bluff?" Molly said.

Jenny laughed and said, "Try calling her bluff, if that's what you think it is."

"This is too weird. I can't sleep with you guys. I'll sleep on the floor," Molly said.

"Suit yourself. You're welcome to share the big bed with us. I would suggest you stay in the guest stateroom with Walt and Penny, but I have a feeling they want to be alone tonight. It'll be the first time they sleep together," Kathy said.

Penny blushed and then said, "Thanks, Kathy."

The girls went below. While they removed their clothes, Penny asked what Jenny and Kathy usually slept in.

"We usually sleep in the nude, but we wear tee shirts when we're hanging around," Jenny said.

Penny nodded. The girls stripped down to their panties and put on tee shirts. Jenny gave Molly one of Eddie's tee shirts.

When they went up to the salon, Molly noticed that Brad and Eddie didn't do more than just glance at the girls. Walt spent a few more minutes looking, but quickly returned to the conversation the guys were having. Jenny sat with Brad while Penny sat next to Walt. Kathy saw that Molly was nervous so she guided her to the settee where Eddie was sitting. Kathy sat Molly on one side of Eddie and she sat on the other.

Eddie glanced at Molly, smiled and said, "I was just kidding about snoring. Kathy snores and I'm used to it."

Kathy smacked Eddie on the arm and then stuck her tongue out at him. Molly chuckled, but it was obvious she was nervous. While she listened to, and watched, the interaction between Jenny, Kathy, Brad, and Eddie, she realized how shallow her relationship with Lenny really was.

Eddie began talking about the marlin Molly caught. He told the group that Molly did a great job of fighting the large fish. As he talked, Eddie was animated. He touched Molly's arm several times when saying that she was strong.

Molly felt herself blush at first, but then she relaxed. As the conversion changed from one subject to another, Molly began to feel she belonged. In the past, she had felt that Lenny was putting her on display when they went out with his friends. As she thought about it, Molly realized that she had cut off most of her friends except for Penny, at least when she was with Lenny.

The teens talked for an hour and a half before Brad said, "We should get some sleep if we're going to get up and go fishing in the morning."

"Okay, let's get the settee set up and get to bed," Jenny said.

Molly watched Jenny and Brad transform the settee into a bed. Once the sheets, blankets, and pillows were on the bed, Brad removed his shorts and got in. Jenny slipped in next to him, snuggling against his side.

"Turn off the lights," Jenny said.

"Um, do you have a blanket and pillow I can use?" Molly asked.

"Sure, follow me," Eddie said. "We have some extras below."

After saying good night to Jenny and Brad, the rest of the group went down to the staterooms. Penny giggled as she and Walt went into the guest stateroom to spend their first night together. Molly followed Kathy into the master, standing still while waiting for a blanket and pillow. Eddie had stopped in the head.

Kathy went to Molly, putting her arm around the girl's waist. "Which side do you want? Eddie can sleep between us."

"I can't sleep in your bed, Kathy."

"Sure you can, I promise Eddie and I will behave," Kathy said and then she giggled.

Molly grinned and jokingly said, "Yeah, but I might not behave. I'm just kidding. You know that don't you?"

Kathy giggled and shrugged her shoulders. "Whatever. Molly, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do, but the bed is a lot more comfortable than the deck. You wouldn't be the first person that shared this bed."

"You've had other girls sleep with you and Eddie?"

"Girls and guys. We make do when we're on the boat. We only have so many beds so we have to share."

"Okay, I'll try. If I get uncomfortable, I'll sleep on the floor. Do you have a blanket in pillow just in case?"

"There in the locker with the washer and dryer."

Molly climbed into the bed, scooting to the edge. Eddie came in, got in between Kathy and Molly, and snuggled with Kathy. Reaching for the lamp, Kathy shut off the lights.

"Goodnight, Molly," Eddie said.

"Goodnight. If I do anything wrong, just wake me up. I move a lot when I sleep," Molly said.

"There's nothing you can do that's wrong. Not in our bed," Kathy said.

Molly sighed. She hugged her pillow, closed her eyes and tried to sleep. Molly wasn't used to having someone in bed with her, especially a guy. While she settled in, she felt Eddie's butt against hers. She was so close to the edge that she would fall out of bed if she tried to move away.

At some point in the night, Molly woke up. It took a moment for her to become acclimated to the strange surroundings, but she finally realized where she was. The next thing she noticed was the presence of a hand on one of her breasts. She was going to remove it, but didn't. The feeling of being held was comforting and she didn't want it to end.

Closing her eyes, Molly drifted back to sleep. She thought about the day and how much fun she'd had in spite of breaking up with Lenny. The feeling of Eddie spooned against her erased the feelings of emptiness.

An annoying buzzing pulled Molly out of her slumber and an erotic dream. She felt the hand on her breast moving and fingers massaging her. Holding her breath, Molly savored the feeling.

"Is Eddie playing with your boob?" Kathy asked with a soft voice. "He can't keep his hands off boobs when he's sleeping."

"Sorry, I didn't know he was doing it, Kathy." Molly lifted Eddie's hand off her breast.

"Don't worry about it; he's a tit man—and an ass man, and a pussy man..." Kathy began to giggle.

Molly started to get up. Eddie put his arm around her, holding her to his chest. Rolling over, Molly shook Eddie's shoulder.

"I'm not Kathy, Eddie," Molly said as she backed away and stood up.

"Oh, sorry. I hope I didn't piss you off," Eddie said as he stretched.

"Not at all. Thanks for letting me sleep with you guys," Molly said.

The boat became alive with activity. Molly met Penny in the passageway on the way to the head. When the two girls were in the head, they compared notes.

Penny told Molly about her night with Walt. She giggled when she told her friend about the kissing, touching, and oral sex. Molly told Penny she slept with Kathy and Eddie, adding the fact Eddie was feeling her up.

"Oh wow! Did Kathy get pissed?" Penny asked.

"No, not at all. She acted as if it was as normal as could be. I really like these guys," Molly said.

Penny nodded and said, "Why don't you take your shower? I'm going to wait for Walt."

Molly got into the shower. While she shampooed her hair, Kathy came in to use the toilet.

"It gets busy in here, Molly, I hope you're not too shy," Kathy said.

"After last night, I don't thing anything can shock me," Molly replied.

Molly was wrong. The next thing she knew, Eddie came in and stood in front of the toilet. He didn't pay any attention to her while taking care of his morning business. From then on, there was a steady stream of people coming and going from the head. While Molly dried off and brushed her teeth, Jenny and Brad took a shower.

"There's undies in the drawers, mine are in the second drawer and should fit you," Kathy said when Molly came into the stateroom. "There are clothes in the locker too. Help yourself to what ever you need."

"These are yours? Where did you get panties and bras like this?" Molly asked. She giggled and said, "Um, I think your bras will be too small for me. I wear a C.

"Jenny's mom is the manager of a lingerie shop in West Palm. She gets them for us when styles change or they go on sale. Look in the top drawer, you can wear one of Jenny's bras," Kathy said.

Giggling, Molly said, "I buy mine at Wal-Mart's."

Molly selected a matching yellow bra and panty set. Holding it up, she asked Kathy if it would be okay to wear. Kathy nodded and Molly began dressing.

"Hi, I hope we didn't shock you too much this morning," Jenny said when Molly came into the galley with Kathy.

"I have to admit, it was a bit weird for me. You guys are very casual, aren't you?" Molly said.

"There isn't enough room to be modest. If we are, it takes forever to get ready," Jenny replied. "You'll get used to it if you hang around with us for very long."

Eddie came into the cabin from the flying bridge. He had started the engines to warm them so they would be ready when it was time to leave. Eddie moved between Kathy and Molly, putting his arms around their waists. He hugged them and gave Kathy a kiss.

"So, how are my two sexy bedmates this morning?" Eddie said.

"You're just like what's his name. You'll sleep with me, but you don't want to kiss me," Molly said and then she giggled.

Eddie released Kathy. She snickered, knowing what he was going to do. Eddie put his arms around Molly and bent her back. He gave her an open-mouthed kiss, slipping his tongue over her lips. When he stood Molly up, he looked her in the eyes.

"I am nothing like 'what's his name, ' Sweetie," Eddie said.

Molly stood dumbfounded for a moment. Kathy put her hand on Molly's arm and giggled. "He's a pretty good kisser, isn't he?"

"Oh yeah! No one ever kissed me like that. How can you take it?" Molly said.

"I spend a lot of time with my pussy tingling and wearing wet panties," Kathy said.

Molly blushed, nodding her head. "I can understand why."

Penny stared at Molly and then at Kathy. She shook her head and then said, "You weren't kidding when you said all those things last night, were you?"

"No, we weren't kidding, were we Jen?" Kathy replied. "We told you we like to have fun. If I knew you better, I'd show you how well I can kiss. Who knows, you might like it too."

Molly giggled and said, "Who knows, I just might. I'm quickly learning that things I thought were strange aren't."

"I'm making bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast. Who wants to help?" Brad said.

Walt and Eddie helped Brad make breakfast while the girls set the table. After eating, the girls cleaned up while the guys took the boat out.

"Did you and Penny sleep well?" Brad asked while pulling out of the slip.

"Yes, we slept great when we finally went to sleep. We spent a lot of time talking last night," Walt said. "Penny and I want to try to be as open as you guys are with our relationship."

"That's cool. Being able to talk is important," Eddie said.

"I can't believe you kissed Molly like that in front of Kathy," Walt said.

"Well, I wouldn't do it behind Kathy's back," Eddie said and then he chuckled. "I think I shocked her."

"I think you about knocked her socks off," Brad said.

"You aren't planning on trying to date Molly, are you?" Walt asked.

"No, of course not," Eddie said.

"Kathy, I hope you don't think I'm trying to hit on Eddie," Molly said as they stood at the sink washing dishes.

"Not for a minute. Eddie is just that kind of guy. He likes many people, although most of them are girls," Kathy said.

Molly giggled and finished the plate she was drying. "I just don't want any trouble, Kathy. I like you guys and I like hanging around with you. Maybe someday I'll find a guy that will care for me like Eddie cares for you."

"I'm sure you will. Until then, you can borrow Eddie if you get horny," Kathy said.

"You're crazy as a loon!" Molly said.

"Maybe I am. Have you ever tried a threesome?" Kathy said, trying hard not to giggle.

"You wouldn't do that—would you?" Penny asked, shocked by the conversation between Kathy and Molly.

Jenny giggled and said, "Not only would she, she has! We all have."

The statement shocked Molly, but it also made her think. She couldn't help wonder what it would be like to have sex with Eddie, or Kathy for that matter. Penny felt dazed by what Kathy and Jenny said. She couldn't imagine doing anything with anyone except Walt, and that was limited at that point.

Finished in the galley, the girls went to the flying bridge. Molly stood between Kathy and Eddie, watching the sunrise over the ocean. She sighed, wondering where her life was going. The only thing she was sure of was the fact her life would never be the same again.

-------

Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally had caught up with their studies. Mrs. Phillips told them they were doing great and should be able to move into their next grade in the fall. The teens had worked hard to make sure they wouldn't be held back, studying for several hours every night and meeting for classes on Saturdays.

Twice weekly conference calls kept the teens up to date on the progress of Tomiko. Jeri and April sent pictures weekly of the things they needed to discuss. Joanne had been down twice to meet with the workers and make sure the yacht and the houses were going to be as she envisioned.

Sam and his wife moved into Anne and Marc's old house. Joanne was in the process of redecorating. Sam spent more hours at work fulfilling his obligations as a partner. He had made a few calculated investments for Don and Marc. The successful investments and careful day trading had increased the family's fortune.

"We're going north this weekend," Don said to his family while they sat around the dining room table. "Our realtor has a new property that he wants us to see. He said he thinks it's what we're looking for."

"Do you have any information on the property?" Jack asked.

"Yes we do. The property is fifteen acres near Frankfort. There is a main house and two guest cottages. The realtor said there was a horse barn and a few other out buildings too," Don said.

"Is it on the lake?" Sally asked.

"Yes, with a nice beach from what I was told. The water isn't deep enough for the yacht, or any large boat, but it's only a half mile from the harbor at Frankfort. I wanted the property we looked at in Ludington, but the owner wasn't willing to deal. He wanted too much money for what he had there," Don said.

"Are we going with you?" Tom asked.

"You can go if you'd like to. How about school, don't you have classes on Saturday?" Marge said. "I also thought you kids were having your friends over. You postponed the party you were planning once. Do you want to postpone it again?"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that," Tom said.

"Yes we have classes and we really shouldn't miss them. We're planning to go down to Florida during spring break," Jack said. "Are you guys going down with us?"

"We're planning to, Jack. I think it's just going to be us this trip. Joanne said the guesthouse is ready and the main house is getting close to being finished. She also told us the contractors have a good start on the new building by the seawall," Anne said.

"Does that mean we'll be staying there?" Sally asked.

"That's the plan," Don said.

The group chatted while they finished their meal. Kim, Sally, Tom, and Jack cleared the table and loaded the dishwasher. Don came out to the kitchen to talk to them.

"I hear there's a fishing tournament in the Bahamas that's being held while we'll be in Florida," Don said.

"Yes, and Jenny asked if we can fish with them," Sally said. "We talked about it and would like to fish if we can."

"I don't see why not. I talked to Harry and he invited us to stay at the hotel with him and Kathy and Brad's parents. We're planning to go, but I wanted to be sure you kids were going to fish before I made the arrangements."

"That's going to make the boat crowded, isn't it?" Tom asked.

"I think we'll charter a plane and fly down this time," Don said.

Tom chuckled and said, "You and my dad should just buy a plane. That way we'll always have a way to get between Michigan and Florida."

"That isn't as farfetched as it sounds, Tom. Your dad and I have been talking about it. Jerry said we could get into a lease program with other people. The outfit he's talking about has several planes," Don said.

"Are you going to do it, Dad?" Kim asked.

"I don't know yet. Sam is working out the details of the tax breaks we can expect. If it turns out to be a good deal, we'll probably do it. Next fall we'll be living in Florida. Marc and I will have to come up here often while the housing development is going on. That and if we buy the summer home, we can fly up there too."

"When are you going to sell this house, Dad?" Jack said.

"Not until late summer. We still need a place to live up here. In fact, we may not sell it right away. We can stay here when we need to visit the construction site. We have a lot going on right now. I think trying to sell the house is a bit much until we clean up a few other things."

Don answered a few more questions before joining Marge, Anne, and Marc by the pool. The teens finished the dishes and went up to their rooms to study.

"Jack, are you mad at me about something?" Sally asked after she and Jack were in their room.

"Hell no. Why do think that I'm mad at you?" Jack said.

"I don't know, we haven't been making love very often. It's like you don't want me anymore."

Jack took Sally in his arms. Hugging her, he kissed the top of her head. "Sweetie, I want you more than anything. It's just that with all the studying, the work with yacht, and everything else that's going on, I've been tired. I'm sorry; I'll try to do better."

Sally looked up and grinned. That's okay. I can wait for sex. I just want to make sure you still want me."

Jack led Sally to the bed. He sat down, pulling her to his lap. Holding her around the waist, he kissed her cheek. "This probably sounds stupid, but sometimes I feel like I'm in a catch twenty-two. The longer we don't make love, the more I want to make sure we have a lot of time when we do. The next thing I know I'm too tired to spend the time you deserve."

"Baby, I don't need candlelight and soft music—I need you. I don't care if it's only a minute or two; I want the connection we have when you fuck me or I suck you. I know you want to be all romantic and everything, but you don't have to be. Not every time," Sally said.

"I just don't want you to feel used, Sweetie."

"Jack, how many times do I have to tell you that I want you to use me? You know what I want and for some reason you can't bring yourself to give me what I want—what I need. Please don't be concerned about just taking me. I want you to."

Jack moved his hand to Sally's breast. He started to squeeze it and she cooed. When Jack began removing her top, Sally helped.

Jack and Sally sprawled out on the bed and undressed each other. He kissed his way down to her sex, planting soft kisses on her vulva. Using his fingers, he stroked the inside of her vagina.

Sally moaned and wiggled as Jack brought her close to an orgasm. When he moved up and put his penis in her, Sally came. She gripped his shoulders and kissed his neck while he moved slowly. Sally's orgasm reached its peak and began to wane. Jack pulled out of her and moved up, straddling her chest.

Jack presented his slick penis to Sally's lips. She lifted her head, licking the glans and then sucking it into her mouth. Jack leaned forward, placed his hands on the headboard and began to move. Sally held his hips while he screwed her willing mouth. She moaned around his member, feeling it hit the back of her throat.

Jack felt his climax building. He pulled his member from Sally's mouth and sat back to let the feeling subside. He wanted to come, but not yet. Once he felt that he wasn't ready to come, Jack moved down to put his penis back into Sally's vagina. He held her legs and pushed them up until they were near her sides. When he began to move again, Sally begged Jack to fuck her.

Sally's chanting was more than Jack could handle. He began to ejaculate, sending his semen into her quivering vagina. Jack pushed in as far as he could and groaned as he came.

The surging stopped and Jack lay on Sally panting. She hugged his neck with one arm, while rubbing his back with her other hand. Her breathing began to return to normal and Sally kissed Jack.

"Mmmm, that's just what I needed," Sally cooed in Jack's ear.

Jack lifted his head, looked at Sally and then kissed her. "Not bad for a quickie, was it."

"That was more than a quickie, Baby. That was a good fuck!"

"I guess we should do our homework, shouldn't we?" Jack said as he rolled off Sally.

"Yeah, but not until I get my treat."

Sally kissed her way down Jack's body until she reached his semi flaccid penis. She sucked it into her mouth, savoring the tart mixture of his semen and her juices. Sally moaned as she cleaned his member. When Sally finally released his penis, Jack pushed her on her back. He put his head between her legs, licking her vulva. Unlike Sally, Jack didn't stop until he brought her to another orgasm.

"There, that should hold you for a little while," Jack said as he sat up and looked at his sated cousin.

Sally grinned and said, "Yeah, for a few minutes anyway."

Sally moved into Jack's arms. "I love you so much, Jack. You make me very happy."

"I love you too, Sweetie. Now, do your school work or I'm going to put you over my knee and paddle your ass."

Giggling, Sally draped her naked body over Jack's legs. She wiggled her bottom at him and waited for him to spank her. Jack gave Sally a few firm smacks on her butt, making her cheeks turn red.

While it wasn't his favorite thing, Sally loved it when he spanked her. No matter how hard he hit her butt with his hand, it never seemed to be hard enough for her. Jack would do it, but it was going to be on his terms. He wasn't going to hurt Sally regardless of how much she begged.

"That doesn't hurt. Why don't you try it with your belt?" Sally asked.

"Honey, we've talked about this. If I spank you, it's going to be with my hand. I'm not going to run the risk of hurting you."

Jack and Sally began their homework. He stretched out on the bed and Sally sat at the desk so she could use her laptop computer. Neither of them bothered to get dressed.

Kim came into the room. The teens didn't bother knocking when entering one another's rooms and it was no surprise to see one of them undressed or even engaged in sex.

"Looks like you two took a break," Kim said as she moved to the desk. "I need a notebook. Do you have any extras?"

Sally opened a drawer and retrieved a spiral notebook for Kim. "Here you go, sexy. How are you and Tom doing with your homework?"

"We're almost finished. Tom and I are going for a swim in a few minutes."

"Okay, we'll see you at the pool when we finish."

"If you stay out of bed, you'll finish faster."

"True, but what fun is that?"

Kim laughed and turned to her brother. She glanced at his penis and said, "That thing looks dead."

"Nope, just resting, Kim," Jack said, never taking his eyes off the book in his hands.

An hour later, Jack and Sally put on robes and headed downstairs. They went to the pool, took a quick shower, and went for a swim. Tom and Kim sat at one of the tables talking and watching their siblings.

"That was refreshing," Jack said while drying his hair with a towel.

Sally wrapped a towel around her waist, tucking the corner in to hold it. She sat at the table and waited for Jack to join her.

"We have to make up our minds about Yoshi. Are we going to hire him as our chef?" Jack said. "Jeri said he is wondering whether or not we're going to offer him the job."

"Jeri and April like him. That's good enough for me," Sally said.

"I agree with Sally. Jeri and April are the ones that will be working with him most of the time. If they think he's good I say we should hire him," Kim said.

"Sounds like it's settled then. We'll let Jeri know tomorrow when we talk to her," Tom said. "I guess we should let Jeri and April hire the crew. We can be part of it, but the final decision should be theirs. We don't really know enough about it yet."

"Maybe we can get some of Jenny and Kathy's friends a job. They could be deckhands or cabin stewards, couldn't they?" Sally said.

"Yes, I guess we could find out if any of their friends want to work. We'll have to clear it with Jeri and April first though," Jack said.

"I wonder if we'll get another boat when our parents buy the summer house. It would be nice to have something up there too," Kim said.

"Maybe, Dad did say something about another boat for Michigan. It would be cool to have something like Jenny and Eddie's boat," Jack said. "The one we have is kind of small if we have guests."

"Could we go salmon fishing on a boat like that, Jack?" Sally asked.

"I think so. It would depend on how slow it will go."

"What are we going to do about food on Saturday? If we're going to have Megan, Lisa and the twins over we have to plan for something," Kim said.

"We could cook burgers and dogs on the grill. I think it's supposed to be nice—cold, but nice," Tom said. "Either that or order pizza."

"I like burgers better," Kim said. "Pizza is okay, but that's what we always have."

Marge and Anne came out to see what their kids were doing. Kim told them they had been talking about the yacht and the party. When Kim asked about cooking on the grill, her mom said it would be okay.

"When are you guys going up north?" Jack asked.

"Your father wants to leave on Friday afternoon. We're going to see the property on Saturday morning," Marge said.

"Do you think they'll buy this place?" Tom asked.

"I have no idea. From what the realtor says, it sounds like what we're looking for. It will all depend on whether or not your dad and uncle can make the deal they want," Anne said.

Marge and Anne left for the pool house. A few moments later, the hot tub began to churn. Anne and Marge came out of the pool house and slipped into the tub. Sally grinned, got up, and joined them.

"Are you going to soak in the hot tub?" Tom asked Kim.

"Maybe in a few minutes," Kim said.

Sally sat near her mom, resting her head on the edge of the tub. Touching her daughter's arm, Anne said, "Is everything okay, Honey?"

"Everything is great, Mom."

"You've looked a little down the past few days."

"I know, but everything is okay now."

"Are you and Jack having problems?"

Giggling, Sally said, "We were."

"Jack isn't being too aggressive, is he?" Marge asked.

"No, the opposite. He isn't aggressive enough. I think we worked it out though," Sally said.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Anne asked.

Shrugging her shoulders, Sally said, "It's nothing really. Jack thinks that every time we're together it has to be all romantic."

"Sounds like your father. He used to want every time to be perfect."

"I just want Jack to love me. It doesn't have to be perfect, although it usually is—to me at least."

"Do you think you're spending too much time with Jack?" Anne asked. "Maybe you should spend a few nights a week in your bed."

"I don't think so, Mom, not unless Jack tells me he wants me to. I like sleeping with him."

"Are you looking forward to getting back down to Florida?" Marge asked.

"Yes, I miss Jenny and the other kids. I really like them."

"How about your other friends, the ones up here?" Anne asked.

"Well, Brad is going to be seeing Craig. Paul is all giddy over Cindy, and Megan and Lisa are together. Beside the fact Megan and Lisa are older. I like them, but we really don't have much in common anymore," Sally said. Paul and Brad are into golf and we're all into fishing and the yacht."

"It isn't uncommon that you and the others are making new friends and finding new interests. We don't see our old friends very often anymore," Marge said. "You should know you don't have to be close with Brad, Paul, Lisa, and Megan because we're friends of their parents."

"They're still our friends. We're just not as close as we used to be. We see them everyday at Mrs. Phillips and we all talk, but we're all too busy for much else."

"You kids need to have some fun too. You shouldn't be too busy, not at your ages. I think you should find something to do for fun," Marge said.

"Aunt Marge, we're having a blast. All of us love working on the boat and studying. We're looking forward to going to Florida to see the yacht and going fishing. I can't wait until next fall when I get to go back to school," Sally said.

"You really miss school don't you, Honey," Anne said. "I think we made a mistake when we sent you to Mrs. Phillips for home schooling."

"You didn't make a mistake, Mom. None of us knew what it would be like." Sally lowered her voice. "I think Jack is going back to school because I want to."

Marge chuckled and said, "I don't think you're too far off, Sally."

"I wonder what school in Florida is going to be like. We are going to get to go to public school, aren't we?"

"Yes, you kids can go to any school you want to. We enrolled you in the Academy because we felt you would get a better education than at public school. I think that was another mistake," Anne said.

"I think we were letting our new found riches cloud our thinking, Anne. We were taking a stab at being something we weren't. Fortunately, we found out before we made many mistakes. We're just regular people and don't fit in with the crowd we were trying to fit in with," Marge said.

"I agree; we do things now because we can, not because we're trying to show someone we can," Anne said.

Sally left the hot tub. She dried herself and went back to the table with her brother, Jack, and Kim.

"What were you and our moms talking about?" Jack asked.

"Just stuff. I was telling them you don't fuck me enough," Sally said while trying to keep a straight face.

Kim giggled and said, "You have that problem too, huh?"

"What are you talking about, we have sex almost everyday," Tom said.

"That's what I'm talking about—almost!" Kim said.

"Those things or yours aren't like a gun, they don't run out of bullets," Sally said, causing all of them to laugh.

"How do you know?" Jack said.

"I know because if they did, our moms would be bitching up a storm. Didn't you know being horny is one of the traits of the women in our families?" Sally said.

"Tom, I think we may have to call in reinforcements. We can run an ad in the paper for guys to help keep two hot girls happy," Jack said.

"We don't need your help to find guys," Kim said.

"Okay, but if you ever do, let us know," Tom said.

"I think I will go for a swim and then go to bed," Sally said.

Jack stood up, offering his hand to Sally. "I'll go with you, Sweetie."

"For a swim or to bed?" Sally asked.

"Both!"

Kim and Tom joined Jack and Sally in the pool. They splashed and dunked one another while their moms watched from the hot tub. Jack took Sally aside, whispered in her ear and then they both laughed. Sally went after her brother. When she caught Tom, she jumped on him, wrapping her arms around his neck. Giggling, Sally slid down her brother's body and went underwater. Before Tom knew what was happening, Sally had his penis in her mouth. She kept it there until she needed to breathe.

"What the hell was that?" Tom said when Sally surfaced.

Grinning, Sally said, "A blowjob, silly."

Kim came over, asking what Tom and Sally were doing. When Tom told her, Kim shook her head and laughed. Jack watched Kim walk over to him, drop to her knees and begin mouthing his member.

The four of then began laughing and cracking jokes about other times they had all fooled around together. They began their sentences with, "Do you remember when we..." finishing with something they had done together.

"You know, we've had a lot of fun with each other. Who would have guessed we would have ended up doing the things we've done?" Kim said.

Jack laughed and said, "I remember the day Tom and I walked up the beach when we were at Lake Michigan. Tom saw Kim lying on the beach and said something like, 'Hey, Jack, your sister has a hairy pussy.' I thought I was going to die!"

"I did have a hairy pussy then," Kim said. "Do you remember the night on the balcony when I sucked your cock the first time, Jack?"

"I'll never forget it. It was right after a bad storm. That was the first time I tasted pussy."

"We all changed on that vacation, didn't we?" Sally said.

Jack put his arm around Sally, hugging her to his side. "Yes, and for the better if you ask me."

Tom put his arm around Kim, guiding her closer to Jack and Sally. The four teens hugged as a group. "Does anyone have any regrets about the things we've done?" Jack said.

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't regret a thing they had done.

"You know, things are only going to get better for us. As long as we love and respect each other, we can have a blast. Soon, we'll have the yacht and new opportunities will open up," Jack said.

"I know I'm looking forward to new adventures. There are so many things I want to do and places I want to see. I hope we can work hard with Tomiko and prove to our parents that we can be successful. We all know we don't have to worry about money, but I would like to earn our own," Tom said.

"Why don't we give some of the money we have to Mr. Mitchell? He seems to make our dads a lot of money," Sally said. "I've saved over a thousand dollars and I could invest some of it."

"How did you get so smart, Sally? That is a great idea. I have money saved too," Kim said.

The teens left the pool and headed for the shower room. While they playfully washed one another, they hatched a plan to invest some of their savings with Sam Mitchell. They each agreed to pitch in five hundred dollars to see if Sam could make the investment grow.

On the way up to their rooms, the teens told their parents goodnight. They had agreed to keep their idea under wraps for the time being.

When they reached their rooms, Jack suggested the four of them have a little fun together. Kim and Tom agreed, following Jack and Sally into their room. Sally pulled back the covers on the bed. They all climbed in, gathering in a circle.

"I'm really proud of you, Sweetie. That was a wonderful idea you had tonight," Jack said to Sally.

Sally grinned. She hugged Jack and said, "I'm submissive, not stupid, Baby."

Jack chuckled, as did Tom and Kim. Tom and Kim were well aware of Sally's submissiveness and had come to accept it. They no longer asked why or tried to convince her she shouldn't be what she obviously was. Jack was learning to accept Sally's wishes. Although he still had trouble, being what she so desperately wanted him to be. Jack was learning, but the process was slow. His love overshadowed Sally's needs.

Thinking about a few of the conversations he had with Sally, Jack made a decision. He put his hand on Sally's back, leaned close and kissed her ear.

"Why don't you make them happy?" Jack said, nodding toward Tom and Kim.

Sally grinned and whispered, "Which one?"

"Both of them."

Sally didn't question Jack's request. She moved between Tom and Kim, putting her hands on their legs. Moving her hands to their crotches, Sally started rubbing them.

"Jack told me to make you two happy," Sally said with glee.

Kim glanced at Jack. When her brother mouthed, 'please, ' Kim nodded.

Winding Sally's hair around her hand, Kim pulled Sally's mouth to her breast. Kim told Sally what she wanted and then looked at Jack again. Tom was grinning as Sally stroked his penis.

"Sally, I want you to eat Kim's pussy while Tom fucks you from behind," Jack said.

Dropping her head between Kim's legs, Sally started licking her. Tom moved behind Sally and entered her vagina. Sally moaned into Kim as Tom began to move.

Jack watched while Sally had sex with Tom and Kim. The longer he watched, the more Jack got into it. The fact that Sally was doing what she was doing because Jack told her to excited him more than watching her.

Unable to stop himself, Jack started stroking his penis. Sally's muffled groans were fueling his desires. Jack began instructing Sally, telling her to become more aggressive with Kim. Tom pounded into Sally, driving her face against Kim's splayed crotch.

Kim gripped Sally's hair, threw her head back, and let out a howl. Kim's orgasm triggered Tom's and he too climaxed. Sally kept her face between Kim's legs, lapping at the juices that leaked from her vagina.

Tom pulled away, moving next to Kim. Sally continued to lick and suck Kim's sex until Jack stopped her.

"Sally, come over here and suck my cock," Jack said.

Sally spun around and dove for Jack's erection. She slammed her mouth down, meeting Jack's hand. When Jack removed his hand, Sally took his entire member into her mouth and throat. She gagged as she moved her head up and down, but didn't stop. Sally fondled Jack's testicles with one hand while holding his hip with the other. Jack didn't warn Sally and began coming in her mouth. She swallowed his semen as fast as his penis could shoot it into her mouth.

Jack's penis became sensitive so he pulled Sally up. He looked into her eyes and was surprised by the way they seemed to twinkle. Sally didn't say a word. She curled up in Jack's lap, resting her head against his chest.

"Go get a washcloth and clean us up," Jack said.

Sally scurried out of bed. She went into the bathroom, wet a washcloth with warm water and returned. Sally washed Kim's vulva and then she did the same to Tom' penis. While Sally cleaned Jack, he smiled at her.

"What do you say to Tom and Kim?" Jack said.

Sally grinned, turned around, and said, "Thank you, Tom. Thank you, Kim. I hope I pleased you. Jack, I hope I pleased you too."

"You did great, Sally," Kim said, smiling at her brother.

"Yeah, you were a great fuck," Tom said. It almost hurt to say the words.

Sally returned the washcloth to the bathroom. She came back to bed, curling up in Jack's lap again. Jack stroked her head, almost as if he was petting Sally. Looking at Tom and Kim, he jerked his head toward the door. Kim and Tom nodded, got up, and left the room.

Jack stretched out on his back. He patted the bed next to him and Sally curled up with her head on his chest. After turning off the light, Jack said, "Goodnight, Sally. I love you."

Sally scooted up so she could kiss Jack. "I know you do, Sweetheart. I really know you love me."

Chapter 21


Jack woke Sally early the next morning. He gave her a warm kiss and told her to get out of bed.

"We're going to workout this morning, Baby. Put on something comfortable," Jack said.

"Okay, what do you want me to wear?" Sally replied, her voice bubbly.

"You know, one of those outfits you wear when you exercise. The tight shorts and a sport's bra, those things look cute on you."

Sally put on a pair of spandex briefs and matching sport's bra. Jack pulled on a pair of nylon shorts. Taking Sally by the hand, he led her to the basement.

Jack looked at the white board from Sally's old house. They went over the listed exercises, deciding on a routine. Once they warmed up, they began working-out. A half hour later, Jack and Sally went upstairs to the pool.

"We'll shower and swim a few laps," Jack said.

Sally's perpetual grin widened. She nodded and said, "You don't want me to get fat. Do you?"

"Honey, this has nothing to do with that. I want us to be healthy and strong. We're going to be fishing with our friends in Florida and I want you to be able to handle it," Jack said.

Jack and Sally swam laps for a half hour. They showered and then went up to their room. Sally dried her light brown hair, pulling into a ponytail when Jack said it was how he liked it. They dressed and went downstairs for breakfast.

Kim and Tom sat at the table eating cereal. When they saw Jack and Sally, Kim and Tom greeted them.

"Why are you two late?" Tom asked, noticing how happy his sister seemed.

"We got up early. Sally and I worked out in the basement and swam for a half hour this morning. We're getting into shape for fishing," Jack said.

"Why didn't you tell us? We'd workout with you two?" Kim said.

"I decided we were going to start working out regularly when I woke up this morning. Sally and I are going to swim every morning and workout every other morning. You and Tom are welcome to join us," Jack said.

"I'll be there. How about you, Tom, are you going to workout too?" Kim said.

"Might as well. What brought this on?" Tom replied.

"I was thinking about the last time we went fishing with Brad, Eddie, Jenny, and Kathy. I remembered how tired and sore I was after fighting one of those fish. Next time, Sally and I are going to be in shape," Jack said.

Sally nodded in agreement, as she prepared cereal for Jack and herself. She poured coffee for Jack and juice for her. Kim noticed how Jack included Sally in his decision as if she didn't have a say. Kim was also aware of Sally's acceptance of what Jack said.

Jack and Sally finished their breakfast. The four teens sat at the table talking about working out. They had a few minutes before they had leave for Mrs. Phillips house. By the time they were ready to leave, Jack had decided he and Sally would work out on the machines Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. They would swim for a half hour after the workouts. On the other days, they would swim for forty-five minutes. Kim and Tom agreed to follow the same schedule.

That afternoon while they ate lunch, Jack flipped through a magazine while Sally and Kim talked to Lisa and her brothers about the get together on Saturday. Jack half listened, nodding when asked a question.

"So, hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill is what we all want?" Kim said.

"That sounds good. Megan and I will make baked beans and potato salad," Lisa said.

"Sally, make a list of the things we'll need to buy," Jack said. He didn't look up from the magazine when he spoke.

"Okay, should I put chips and pretzels on the list?" Sally said.

Jack nodded. Sally wrote down the items in her notebook. She also listed hotdogs, ground beef, buns, and onions. Once the list was completed, Sally read it aloud.

Kim asked Sally to add cheese and relish. Jack glanced up, smiling at Sally.

"Is there anything else you can think of, Sweetie?" Jack said.

"Not right now, but if anyone thinks of anything, let me know," Sally replied.

"I think it would be great if Kim and Sally made a batch of chocolate-chip cookies," Tom said.

"No kidding. I haven't had homemade cookies in a longtime," Jack said.

"We'll make them, won't we Kim?" Sally said.

"Sure, we can make a batch of peanut-butter cookies too," Kim said.

Paul and Brad offered to bring the soda. With the menu complete, the group went to the basement to complete the day's studies.

Jack seemed lost in thought while he drove home. Kim, Sally, and Tom talked about having their friends over on Saturday. When asked a question, Jack responded, but he had other things on his mind. His thoughts were of Sally.

Sally had been giddy all day. From the time she got up, Sally smiled and clung to Jack. Jack felt it had something to do with the things the four of them had done the night before. He also felt it might have been the way he treated Sally. One of the things that troubled Jack was the way Sally responded.

When they arrived at the house, Kim and Tom went to the kitchen for snacks. Jack told Sally he needed to talk to his dad. He told her to wait for him in the family room. Sally gave Jack a quick hug and kiss before sitting on a couch to wait.

Don and Marc were in the office looking over paperwork Jerry had dropped off. When Jack walked in, his dad looked up.

"Hi, Son, how was school today?" Don said.

"Good, Dad. Things are moving along. Mrs. Phillips says we'll be able to pass and be in the correct grade next fall. Dad, may I use my credit card to take Sally shopping? There are a few things I want to get her," Jack said.

"You don't have to buy anything for Sally. Her mom and I can do that for her," Marc said. "What do you want to get her?"

"I just want to get her some new clothes. Nothing special, Uncle Marc."

Marc began to say something, but Don interrupted. "Get what you want for Sally," Don said. "Marc and I have to get through these documents for the new building project."

Jack thanked his dad and left the office. He went to the living room, sitting next to Sally on the couch. "Honey, put on your coat. We're going out for a little while," Jack said.

"Sally and I have something to do. We'll be back in a little while," Jack told Kim and Tom before leaving.

Sally sat next to Jack while he drove. Jack thought it strange she didn't ask where they were going. After a few minutes, Jack mentioned it.

"Aren't you wondering where we're going?" Jack asked.

"No, not really, Baby. You said we were going out," Sally said. "It doesn't matter where we're going."

When Jack pulled into the parking lot of a mall, Sally didn't say a word. Jack held the door for Sally, giving her a pat on the butt when she stepped down. Taking her hand, Jack led Sally into the mall. He took her to one of the nicer stores and they went in.

"Where do they keep the tights?" Jack asked.

"Um, in lingerie I guess," Sally said as she pointed. "Over there."

Jack and Sally walked over to the lingerie department. When he found the hosiery, Jack turned to Sally.

"You need tights, Honey. I want you to get different colors," Jack said.

Sally began selecting packages of tights. She showed Jack each color, keeping the tights if Jack nodded. Sally picked out several different colors and styles. When she had a dozen packages in her hand, Jack told her she had enough for now. Next, they went to find bodysuits.

"When I was looking at that magazine today, I saw a few girls dressed in tights, bodysuits, and short skirts. I like the way they look. That's what I want you to wear," Jack said.

"You mean like Megan wore when we first met her?" Sally asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"When Megan came over the first time, she was wearing an outfit like that," Sally said.

"Honey, I don't remember what Megan was wearing. Now, I can tell you what you've worn the past few days. This has nothing to do with Megan. This is what I want," Jack said.

Giggling, Sally said, "Don't you want me to dress sexier?"

"I want you to wear tights, bodysuits, and skirts or shorts," Jack replied without any other explanation.

Sally began matching bodysuits to the tights she picked out. She showed Jack one of the suits with a low neckline. He shook his head so she put it back on the rack. Jack approved of bodysuits that weren't too reveling. When she had what she wanted, Jack took her to find skirts. Jack held her selections so she could try the skirts on and model them for Jack.

"I have skirts at home that will match the tights and bodysuits. I'll just pick out colors I don't have," Sally said.

"I like the short pleated and wraparound, skirts," Jack said.

Sally finished picking out the things she wanted. On the way to check out, Sally stopped Jack. "Um, I don't have many bras that will look good under the bodysuits. I need some that are sheer and seamless," Sally said and then she giggled. "My boobs would look crinkly with most of the bras I have."

"Pick out what you need, Sweetie," Jack said.

Sally returned to the lingerie section to select the bras she wanted. Jack watched her going through the racks, deciding which ones she wanted. Jack began flipping through the bras along with her.

"What size am I looking for?" Jack asked.

Smiling, Sally said, "Thirty-four C. Are you going to pick some out for me?"

Jack nodded and looked at the tag on a very sheer red bra. Holding it up, he told Sally he liked it.

"I like it too. Let's see if we can find a white and black one too," Sally said.

Jack and Sally found what they were looking for. He told her to buy the red, black, white, and green bra, all of them the same style. Sally asked if she could get matching panties. Jack nodded and told her to get what she wanted.

"Are these okay?" Sally asked, showing Jack a thong.

"Yes, I like those," Jack replied.

Sally took the items to the counter. When the girl rang them up, Jack handed the clerk his credit card. The girl smiled at Jack and processed the card. After signing the slip, Jack walked away to look at a few things.

Looking at Sally, the clerk said, "You'll look cute in these outfits."

Giggling, Sally said, "I hope so, Jack wants me to wear them."

"He has good taste. That is if he picked them out."

"I picked them out; Jack approved of them for me."

The clerk looked around for a moment and then leaned over the counter. "Is he your Dom?"

Sally grinned and nodded. The girl behind the counter ran her fingertips over a black velvet choker with a gold initial charm she wore around her neck. "I have a Dom too. Are you into BDSM?"

Shaking her head, Sally said, "No, at least not yet. Are you?"

"Yes, but just mild stuff. You know, tied up and spanking. Nothing too rough. Are you two new to the lifestyle?" The girl asked.

"Yes."

"That's cool. Did your boyfriend talk you into it?"

Sally shook her head.

The girl giggled and said, "Are you training him well?"

Sally glanced at Jack to make sure he wasn't close enough to hear them talking.

"Jack isn't really keen on it yet, but it's what I want." Sally giggled. "He's learning though."

"My Dom taught me. I'm his second sub. We've been together for a year and a half now."

"I love your choker. Do you know where he bought it?" Sally asked.

"Yes, there's a store in the mall that has them. The initial is his," The girl told Sally.

"Thanks. Maybe I'll see if Jack will buy one for me. Well, I better get going. Jack probably wants to get home. Maybe I'll see you later," Sally said.

"Come by and see me anytime. I'm here most weekdays from four until closing." The girl handed Sally a card after she wrote on the back. "This is my email address. Contact me if you have any questions, or if you just want to talk."

Sally looked at the card, smiled and said, "Thanks, Celia. I might take you up on that."

Gathering her bags, Sally said goodbye and left the counter. She walked over to where Jack was standing and waited for him to finish looking at the jeans he was inspecting.

"Ready to go?" Jack asked.

Sally nodded.

"Do you know that girl?"

"No. I just met her."

"You talked to her for a while. I thought maybe you'd met her before."

"I was asking her about the choker she's wearing. Her man bought it for her. She has his initial on it."

"I didn't notice the initial. Is there some significance to the initial or does she just like wearing it?"

"It means something to her. It means her man owns her," Sally said.

Out in the common area of the mall, Jack stopped walking. Turning to Sally, he said, "Is that what you want, for me to own you?"

"Jack, you already do. You just haven't accepted it—or you're ignoring it, but you do own me. You will until you tell me you don't want me anymore."

Jack put his hand in the small of Sally's back, guiding her to the door. He thought about what she had said while walking to the truck. Jack opened the rear door, took the packages from Sally, and put them in the truck.

Sally climbed into the front seat, sitting close to Jack. On the way home, Jack was silent while he thought about what Sally had said. He was beginning realize just how serious Sally was about what she wanted in their relationship. Jack decided it was time to talk to his aunt again.

"Go take care of your new things. I have something to do for a few minutes," Jack said as he and Sally walked into the house.

Sally went up to their bedroom while Jack went to the family room to see if Anne could talk. Jack asked his aunt if she had a few minutes. Anne followed Jack out to the pool so they could be alone.

"How can I help you, Jack?" Anne asked.

"I don't know if you can, but I want to talk about Sally."

Anne smiled. "Is everything okay?" Anne had talked with Sally about her submissiveness many times.

"I don't know, Aunt Anne. I don't know how to give Sally what she seems to want from me."

"What is it you think she wants?" Anne asked.

"That's just it; I don't really know what she wants."

"Have you asked her what she wants—or expects?" Anne said.

"Kind of, but it's confusing, Aunt Anne. Sally told me tonight that I own her. I don't know what that means."

Anne thought for a moment. "Jack, have you ever heard the expression that a girl is looking for 'Mister Right?'" Jack nodded. "Sally is looking for 'Master Right.' She needs someone to dominate her. That doesn't mean treat her bad or like she's a slave. Although, some subs like to be treated as slaves. Sally wants someone strong that will look after her. She is willing to do anything that person tells her to."

"I'll take care of Sally. She doesn't have to be submissive."

"I have tried to explain this to you before, Jack. Do you remember what we talked about when we were in Florida? You're right, Sally doesn't have to be submissive, but that's what she is. She needs you to be her master so to speak. That doesn't mean she can't think for herself, quite the contrary.

"Sally is a very strong person; anyone that is submissive needs to be strong. She has to be able to trust you completely and she has to love you unconditionally. If she weren't strong, Sally would let others, like Tom and Kim, talk her out of what she wants and needs. Sally hasn't let that happen."

Anne reached across the table, placing her hand on Jack's arm. "Jack, while sex is a big part of Sally's desire to be submissive, it isn't the only thing by any stretch of the imagination. If you tell her to do something sexual, she will do it to please you. Telling her what to wear can give her the same pleasure."

Jack blushed and said, "Did my dad tell you I took her shopping today?"

"Yes, Don told me you talked to him earlier. If you don't mind me asking, what did you buy Sally?"

Jack told his aunt about the outfits he and Sally picked out. While he talked, Anne smiled.

"Why did you select outfits like that instead of something risqué?"

"I saw pictures of girls dressed like that in a magazine today. I thought they looked cute."

"So, you aren't interested in telling her to dress provocatively in public, are you?"

"No, why would I do that?"

"Because you could if you wanted to. You know Sally tends to dress very sexy for a fifteen-year-old girl. If you think about it, by making her dress conservatively, you are making her do something she normally wouldn't do. Many dominants make their subs dress in scanty clothes because they don't usually dress that way in public. They do it as a form of humiliation."

"I guess I didn't think about that when I picked out her outfits. It's what I like though. I would never humiliate Sally on purpose."

"That's fine, Jack. Sally will wear the clothes because you tell her to, whether she likes them or not. She isn't concerned with what she likes or dislikes, she's concerned with what you like or dislike."

"There was a girl at the store that had a necklace on. Sally called it a choker. She told me the girl wore it to show that her boyfriend owned her. Does that make sense to you?"

Anne chuckled while nodding her head. "Did it have the man's initial on it?"

"Yes, Sally said it did."

"I have a necklace like that too. Just to let you know, it's a collar, not a necklace. I received mine eighteen years ago. You may not have noticed me wearing it, but I do when I'm told to."

"Does it have Uncle Marc's initial on it?" Jack asked.

"No, it has your father's initial on it, just as your mother's collar does."

Jack looked at his aunt. Anne smiled at the puzzled look on his face. Taking a deep breath, Anne said, "A sub can only have one Dom, or master. Uncle Marc and I love one another dearly. This has nothing to do with that."

"Uncle Marc doesn't care?"

"He cares about me so he lets me be me. Your uncle understands my feelings and my needs. We both agree with the way things are and have been for a long time. Jack, have you done any research on the subject?"

"No, I haven't."

"I think you should. I think you might get a better understanding of how Sally feels and why she needs what she wants. Just remember, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do, but it wouldn't hurt you to try a few things. That way you can make an informed decision. If you find you can't fulfill Sally's needs, then you have to tell her."

"What do you think she would do if I find I can't be what she wants me to be?" Jack asked.

Anne looked into Jack's eyes and said, "Sally will find someone that can, and will. The real problem comes if she finds someone abusive. Because of the way she is, Sally will probably fall for the first boy that treats her bad."

Sitting back in his chair, Jack thought about what his aunt said. He felt he had to make a decision soon, or risk losing Sally.

"Jack, you have to be sincere about it. If you try to put on an act, Sally will see right through it. I suggest you make up your mind soon so no one gets hurt," Anne said.

Anne patted Jack's arm and stood up. "If you want to talk again, let me know."

Jack nodded and thanked his aunt. He sat at the table, thinking about his seemingly limited options. After playing a game of mental ping-pong, Jack realized that above all, he loved Sally. The real question was whether he could be the man she wanted.

Leaving the pool area, Jack went up to his room. Sally sat on the bed, reading one of her schoolbooks. When she saw Jack, Sally closed the book.

"I put all my new clothes away. Thank you for buying them for me," Sally said.

"You're welcome. From now on, you will wear those outfits when we go out of the house. If you want to wear something else, you have to ask me."

"Okay," Sally replied.

"Sally, we have to talk about our relationship. I want to learn more about how a dominate/submissive relationship works. We will learn together. What have you read about the subject?"

"I have done some research, Jack. I also know how I feel. When I masturbate, I dream of you taking me—ripping my clothes off and fucking my brains out. My fantasies include being tied up, spanked, and sometimes, rough sex."

"I'm afraid of hurting you, Sally."

"Then we need a safe word. A safe word is something that wouldn't normally come up during sex or other play. If I use the safe word, it means stop right now. We can also have a caution word that means slow down, but don't stop."

"Have you thought about a safe word?" Jack asked.

Nodding, Sally said, "Yes, I want ketchup to be our safe word. I want mustard to be our caution word. If I give three taps with my hand or leg, it also means stop."

"Why wouldn't you just use the safe words?" Jack asked.

"I might be gagged or have something in my mouth so I can't talk," Sally said and then she giggled.

"Ketchup and mustard are the safe and caution words. Three taps with a hand or leg. I can remember those," Jack said. "What about limits?"

"There are none, Jack. That's why we have save words. I know you would never do anything that would leave a permanent mark or cut me so I'm not worried," Sally said.

"There's something I'm wondering. I really like making love with you. You don't expect..."

"No, not at all, Honey. I love making love too. Jack, I'm yours so you can do what you want with me. If you want to make love, that's great. If you want to tie me to the hood of your truck and fuck me, that's fine too."

"How about what we did last night, you know, with Kim and Tom?"

Sally's grin and giggle answered the question for Jack.

"Have you talked to Kim about it?" Jack asked.

"Yes, we talked earlier today. Kim told me Tom was a maniac when they went to their room. I think they liked it almost as much as I did."

Jack pulled Sally into his arms. He held her for a few moments, feeling her snuggle against him.

"I have to get going on my homework," Jack said.

-------

Tom sat with his back against the headboard of his bed with Kim next to him. They were reading one of the assignments they needed to complete before the next day.

"Kim, what would you do if I asked you to do what Jack asked Sally to do last night?" Tom asked.

Kim put her book on her lap and turned her head to look at Tom. "Jack didn't ask Sally to do anything. He told her to do us. To answer your question, if you ASKED me, I'd probably do it—it was fun."

"What do you think about what my sister is doing?"

"What, being submissive? If you really want to know, Sally is a much stronger person than I am it that regard. I couldn't do it because I'm too concerned about what other people would think of me. Sally couldn't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks! She is doing what she wants.

"When she first started acting that way when she was with Brad, I thought she was nuts. Now I'm not so sure she is. You have to admire anyone that is willing to do what they want even if your friends and family don't agree with you."

"I don't think we could do that, do you?"

"No I don't, and I don't want to." Kim giggled and then said, "I would be willing to play though."

"As a submissive?"

"Um no, I was thinking more along the lines of being dominate."

"Aha, Mistress Kim?"

"That's me! You could be my boy-toy, my slave," Kim said with a giggle.

Tom laughed and then put his arm around Kim. "You never know what might happen, Baby."

"I know what happened last night after Jack told Sally to do us. You were something else when we got to our bed. I can't remember the last time you fucked me like that—or the last time I needed it so badly."

Tom reached out, covering one of Kim's breasts with his hand. Massaging her through her top, Tom said, "How are you feeling now?"

"Mmmm, I feel good. I like it when you play with my boobs."

Moving closer to Kim, Tom put his free arm around her. He pulled her close, kissing Kim tenderly. They kept their lips locked together and explored each other's mouths with their tongues. Tom worked Kim's top up, removing it with her help.

Kim and Tom twisted and turned on the bed, removing each other's clothes. When they were naked, Kim straddled his legs. She reached between their bodies, gripped his penis, and guided it into her vagina. Kim wiggled until Tom's member was deep inside her.

Sitting up, Tom wrapped his arms around Kim. She wrapped her legs around him, pressing her chest against Tom's head so his face was between her breasts.

"I love the feeling of your cock stuffing my pussy, Baby," Kim cooed while Tom kissed her breasts.

"I'll bet you don't like it any better than I do."

"We'll call it a tie then," Kim said. "You like the feeling of my pussy around your cock and I like the feeling of your cock in my pussy. Mmmm, life is good."

Tom pulled his head back so he could look into Kim's eyes. Smiling, he said, "Sweetheart, I don't know things could get much better. I have you. We're moving to Florida for the winter, and we have the yacht."

"I know, and we have friends in Florida. I was kind of pissed when Jack decided to go back to school, but now I'm looking forward to it." Kim wiggled her bottom, causing Tom to let out a moan.

"We could always get our GED like we planned to, we don't have to go to school just because Jack and Sally are," Tom said as he moved his hands under Kim's bottom. He gripped her cheeks, lifting her up and then letting her settle back down on his penis.

"True, but the more I think about it, the more it sounds like fun. We'll be going to the same school as Jenny, Eddie, Brad, and Kathy so we'll know someone. It won't be like the Academy where we didn't fit in," Kim said. "You don't have to go just because the rest of us are."

Tom chuckled at Kim for throwing his words back at him. He pulled her close, sucking on her nipples one at a time. "If you're going to school, so am I. I don't want you finding some cute guy and dumping me."

"I might find a cute guy, but I won't dump you, Baby," Kim said teasingly. "You don't mind sharing me do you?"

"That would depend on whether or not I was there," Tom replied. "I like threesomes just like you do."

Kim giggled and kissed the top of Tom's head. "I like twosomes too. Why don't you shut-up and fuck me?"

Tom leaned forward, putting Kim on her back. He began moving while she thrust her hips up to meet him. For the next fifteen minutes, Kim and Tom screwed. They changed positions several times, with Kim ending up on her hands and knees.

Kim and Tom took a quick shower. They dressed and went downstairs to see about dinner. Jack and Sally sat at the kitchen table, waiting for Marge and Anne to finish preparing the evening meal. Sally was still dressed in the clothes she had worn all day. She asked Jack if she should change, but he told her no. When Sally asked if she could show Kim her new things, Jack told her Kim could wait.

Marc and Don came into the kitchen. They told Marge and Anne they had talked to Jerry about becoming members of a group of businessmen that leased corporate airplanes. Don explained how the program worked, telling the woman that if they joined, they would have the small fleet of planes available for their use.

"We discussed the pros and cons of the program. In the end, it might be better than leasing our own plane. The group has several planes we'd be able use. They have two jets and three turbo-prop planes," Don said.

"How many members are there?" Marge asked.

"Four right now. There were six, but two of the members are selling their shares. Marc and I are thinking about buying the two shares that are available," Don replied.

"Why not just buy one, Dad?" Jack asked.

"Jerry feels we can hire the planes out when we're not using them. It would offset the cost," Don said.

"Like owning the yacht and chartering it?" Sally asked.

"Yes, Sally, it's just about the same thing," Don said.

"When are you going to go look at the planes?" Anne asked.

"We're taking one of them up north this weekend. We will be flying in one of the turbo-prop planes. It's an eight passenger Beachcraft King Air 350." Don said.

"That's just enough space for our family," Tom said.

"That plane is. There are also the others. One of them, a jet, will carry eighteen passengers," Don said.

"I'd love to fly in a plane like that," Jack said.

"If we decide to invest, we'll all be flying in the planes," Marc said.

"We know it's cheaper to fly with the airlines, but this will be far more convenient. Most of the time, we'll be able to schedule a flight in a few hours. The fleet is at Oakland airport," Don said.

"That's so cool! Does that mean we can decide to go to Florida on Friday morning and leave that afternoon?" Kim asked.

"Yes, for the most part. There's a website where we can see what is available and schedule the planes," Marc said.

"Is that something we'll be able to do, Dad? You know, decide to fly down to look at Tomiko on short notice?" Jack asked.

"Within reason it does. It isn't something we're going to do every week just because we can." Don smiled at Jack. "I would think once a month would be enough. Don't you?"

"Probably more than enough, Dad," Jack said. "When will you know if you're going to do it?"

"Next week. We want to see how it goes this weekend. If we like the service, we'll sign the papers on Tuesday or Wednesday. Mr. Stone has looked everything over. He feels the contracts are in order," Don said.

"Can I ask what something like this costs?" Tom said.

"I'll tell you what the charter company's portion will be," Marc said. "We plan to let the charter company pay for a good part of the cost. The charter company will use the service to fly clients to Florida for charters. Mr. Stone and Mr. Mitchell will explain everything if we do this. There are tax advantages depending on what we do."

During dinner, the families talked about the planes, the vacation property the parents were going to look at, and the upcoming trip to Florida. When they finished eating, Kim and Sally cleared the table while Jack and Tom rinsed the dishes. Once the kitchen duties were complete, the teens started on their studies.

Jack suggested studying by the pool. The others agreed and went up to their rooms to get the books and things they would need. Jack also brought his notebook computer. The four of them sat at the tables, reading their assignments. When Jack completed his work, he turned on the computer.

For the next hour, Jack searched the internet for information on dominance and submission. He found out that he was sorely mistaken about the subject. In the articles, Jack discovered the practice was as old as man, older if you included animals.

Tom and Kim noticed that Jack was engrossed in what he was doing. They went upstairs to put away their books without interrupting him. Sally sat quietly, waiting for Jack to acknowledge her.

Jack looked up, smiled at Sally and said, "Hi, what's up?"

"I'm finished with my homework. I was waiting for you."

Jack glanced around. "I'm reading some information on dominance and submission."

"May I see?" Sally asked.

Jack nodded. Sally pulled her chair around so she could see the computer's screen.

"Sally, I think I'm beginning to understand this. I'm not sure why you are what you are, but I have discovered it doesn't make you weird. Many people, men and women are submissive. I've found out that some people do it for play. For others it's a way of life.

"Honey, I'm not going to ask if this is what you really want. You have told me enough times that it should be clear you've made your choice."

Jack pushed the screen down. Turning his chair to Sally, he said, "You are going to follow my wishes, whatever they are. Because you are mine, and I love you, I promise I will do nothing to permanently hurt or mark you. I may tell you to do something because I want to see if you will do it. I may tell you to do something because I want it done. I may tell you to do something because I can.

"No matter what my reasons are, you will obey me. You may ask why, but I am not compiled to answer give you an answer. If I decide to tell you, it will be because I want to, not because I feel you need to know. In other words, it's entirely up to me."

Jack took Sally's hand in his. He looked at her, noting how intently she was listening to what he said.

"Sally, there are many aspects to this lifestyle. I have only read about a few of them. As time goes on, I will be learning more. That means what I want may change. I might what to tie you up. I might want to spank you, or even practice some of the more painful aspects. Regardless, you will obey. If you use one of the safe words, I will stop.

"I will decide what you wear and when. If I decide to share you, you will allow it. You will not have any type of sexual contact with anyone unless I approve in advance. You will not question my decisions about what I require of you. If I ask you to sit at my feet, you will do so without hesitation.

"I love you. I don't want you to forget that. I am doing this because you asked me to. No matter what, I will not do anything that will affect my love or respect for you. If you begin to lose respect for me, or if you find you don't love me, you will end it. Only you have the power to end this, Sally.

"Our relationship is between us. If anyone questions you, you are to tell them you love me. Nothing more, nothing less. If they persist, you are to tell them to see me.

"We have the yacht and the charter company to consider, it's our business and you have an equal say. You will not let our relationship interfere with your judgment. If you have something to say about business issues, you are to voice your opinion.

"These are my terms for now. Things will change as time goes on, but I will tell what those changes are before instituting them. That's not to say I'm asking for your permission. I do not have to ask you for permission for anything. I may ask your opinion, but it doesn't mean I'll accept it.

"You may talk to your parents about this. Your mom understands. She will be able to answer questions for you. If you want to talk to anyone else about it, you will ask me first.

"If you do something to break the rules, you will be punished as I see fit. If you lie to me, the punishment will be severe. I may administrator the punishment when, where, and how I want to.

"Sally, these are my terms. You can accept them as they are or not. It's entirely up to you. When you say, 'Jack, I give myself to you, ' it begins. When you say, 'Jack, I take back my life, ' it ends. Think about it and let me know your decision," Jack said.

Tears streamed down Sally's cheeks. She took a deep breath, got up, and sat on Jack's lap.

"Jack, do you love me?" Sally asked.

"Yes, I told you I do and I meant it."

"Jack, I give my life to you!" Sally hugged Jack's neck. She put her head against his shoulder and began to cry. "Thank you."

Jack held Sally for a moment. He rubbed her back and then lifted her head by her chin.

"Go up to our room. Get undressed and lay on the bed. Do not touch yourself except to get your pussy wet. I will be up to consummate our new relationship."

Sally stood up. Without a word, she left the pool area and went up to the room she shared with Jack. Her body vibrated with anticipation as she removed her clothes. As she stripped, she realized she was removing an outfit she picked out. Sally also realized it might be the last time she would decide what she would wear.

Stretching out on her back, Sally opened her legs and began to rub her crotch. Smiling, she removed her hand because she was already wet. Sally remained poised with her legs spread and her knees bent for what seemed like a long time. She began to wonder if Jack was going to come to her.

After about twenty minutes, Jack came into the room. He glanced at Sally and began undressing. When he was naked, he fisted his penis until it was hard. Jack crawled on the bed. He positioned his penis against Sally's opening and pushed.

Jack didn't speak or look at Sally's face. He pounded into her without regard for her pleasure. When he came, Jack pulled out and went to the bathroom to clean up. Sally stayed on the bed. She grinned so hard it hurt her cheeks. After a moment, she went to the bathroom.

When Sally walked into the bathroom, Jack turned around. He looked at her for a moment, turned her around and smacked her bottom—hard. Jack gave Sally several swats, leaving handprints on her flesh.

"Did I tell you to get up?" Jack asked sternly.

Lowering her eyes, Sally said, "No."

"Then what are you doing in here?"

"I'm sorry," Sally said. She turned around and left the room.

Jack closed the door. He sat on the toilet and put his face in his hands. Taking a deep breath, he began to weep. Smacking Sally had made him feel so bad he didn't think he was going to be able to go through with the relationship. Not the way Sally wanted it. Once he regained his composure, Jack splashed cold water on his face. He looked at himself in the mirror and shook his head.

Opening the door, Jack went into the bedroom. Sally was back on the bed. She was in the same position he had left her in when he got up to go to the bathroom. Jack sat on the edge of the bed and prepared to tell Sally it wasn't going to work.

"I'm sorry I got up, Jack. I wasn't thinking. May I get up now?" Sally said.

Jack nodded. Sally moved to the edge of the bed. She sat next to Jack and folded her hand in her lap.

"May I kiss you?" Sally asked.

When Jack nodded, Sally threw her arms around his neck. Her lips sought his until they connected. The kiss was hard and loving at the same time. Sally's body shuddered while her tongue stabbed in and out of his mouth.

"Thank you for fucking me," Sally said. "I'm so sorry I disobeyed you. I should know my place and wait until you tell me what to do."

Jack nodded. He didn't know how to respond to what Sally said. After a moment, he moved away so he could see Sally's face.

"You don't have to ask to kiss me. If I don't want you to kiss me, I'll tell you when you try. I will not punish you for kissing me either. Now, go wash your pussy and get ready for bed."

Sally couldn't help giggling. She headed for her bathroom, showing her red butt to Jack. When she returned, Sally got back into bed. Jack stretched out next to Sally. Taking her in his arms, he began to kiss her.

Jack made love to Sally before turning off the light. She snuggled against him and told Jack she loved him. Jack held her, telling Sally he loved her too. He tried to sort things out in his mind, but mental exhaustion prevented Jack from thinking clearly.

When the alarm went off the next morning, Sally quickly silenced it. She sat demurely next to Jack, watching him sleep. Sally watched the time so she would be sure to wake Jack so he would have time to get ready for school. After watching him for ten minutes, Sally gently shook Jack's shoulder.

Jack stretched his arms above his head. When he opened his eyes and saw Sally, he smiled.

"I have a hardon. Take care of it for me. You can use your mouth or pussy. It's up to you," Jack said.

Grinning, Sally slithered down the bed. She took his penis in her mouth. Slowly bobbing her head, Sally gave Jack a sensuous blowjob. Sally used one of her hands to diddle herself, getting her vagina wet. Well lubricated, she climbed over Jack's body. Gripping his shaft, Sally settled down on Jack's penis.

Sally rode Jack, wiggling her hips as she moved up and down his penis. Jack smiled at her. He moved his hand between Sally's legs and began to rub her clit. Sally moaned. Leaning forward, she placed her hands on Jack's chest. When Jack began bucking up into her, Sally came.

Jack's penis poured semen into Sally's convulsing vagina. They began to giggle while coming down from the sexual high they had reached. Jack moved his hand to Sally's sides. He pulled her up until her vulva was above his head and pulled her down. Sally screeched with delight as Jack drilled his tongue into her.

Before they got up, Sally used her mouth to clean Jack's penis.

Jack and Sally went to the pool for their morning swim. Tom and Kim came down, joining them in the water. After swimming for forty-five minutes, they all went up to their rooms to get ready for school.

Together they went to the bathroom to get ready for the first day of their new relationship. While in the shower, Jack thought about what was to come. He wanted to establish his position as soon as possible.

Sally continued to grin. She washed Jack from head to toe while humming a cheerful tune. While washing Sally, Jack inspected her bottom. He moved his hand over her butt cheeks lightly, making sure he hadn't hurt her.

"My ass is fine, Honey," Sally said. "It would still be sore if you had punished me the way I deserved. I shouldn't have gotten up last night without being told."

"I'm afraid of hurting you," Jack said, unable to remain stern.

"I have a safe word," Sally replied. She gave Jack a quick kiss and then giggled.

While they dried themselves, Jack thought about what Sally said. "I still don't want to hurt you."

"Jack, I like pain—it turns me on. I don't know how much pain I can stand though. I was hoping you would help me find out."

"Like paddling and things like that?"

Sally nodded. "Have you looked at some of the sites that have toys? You can use clamps and things like that on me if you want to."

Jack shrugged his shoulders. He didn't respond to what Sally said. He did think about it though.

"I want you to wear red today," Jack said before leaving the bathroom. "I'll be downstairs."

Jack was sitting at the table with Kim and Tom when Sally came into the kitchen. She wore red ribbed tights, a red bodysuit and a black mini skirt. When Jack looked at Sally, he nodded in approval.

"Sally, when did you get that outfit?" Kim asked. "You look cute!"

"Thank you. Jack bought it for me," Sally replied.

Sally sat next to Jack. She filled her bowl with cereal, adding milk. Jack sipped his coffee, feeling good about the way Sally looked. While the outfit covered her, it made Sally look sexy.

The four teens spent the day at Mrs. Phillips's house. When it was time to go, they talked with Paul, Brad, and Lisa for a few minutes about Saturday. After taking care of a few last minute details, Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally left.

"I have to run a few errands," Jack said. "I'll see you guys later."

Sally looked at Jack, but didn't question what he said. Tom and Kim got out of the truck. They told Jack they'd see him later. Before she walked away from the truck, Sally asked Jack if she could talk to her mom.

"Sally, I told you that you didn't have to ask to talk to your parents," Jack said.

"I know. It's okay if I do, isn't it?"

"Yes, you can ask if you want to. Just remember you don't have to. I'll be back in an hour." Jack waved and backed out of the driveway.

Sally waved at Jack. When he was gone, she went into the house. Sally found her mom and asked if she could talk for a little while.

"What's up, Honey? Is everything okay?" Anne asked Sally once they were in Anne's room.

"Mom, everything is perfect! I have a few questions though. First, I gave myself to Jack again. This time he accepted."

Anne smiled and gave Sally a hug. When Sally told her mom about the rules Jack laid out, Anne nodded. Sally went on, telling her mom about how Jack sealed the relationship.

Chuckling, Anne said, "He sounds like his father. The only real difference is that Uncle Don tied Aunt Marge and me to a bed before he did it."

"That's kind of what I wanted to talk about. I don't know if Jack is up to some of the things I want. Last night, I got out of bed without Jack telling me to. Jack spanked me, but not very hard. When I went back to wait, I think I heard him crying."

Anne nodded. She put her arm around Sally and held her to her side. "This may be hard for Jack at first. You have to be patient with him. When you can, tell him what you want. It's going to be a big adjustment for both of you."

"Mom, you said Uncle Don tied you up. Do you like that?" Sally asked.

Anne smiled. "I guess you're old enough to hear a few things now. Maybe you're only fifteen, but you have chosen the path of an adult. Sally, always remember that knowledge is the most important thing you can have. The more you know about the lifestyle, the better it will be for you and Jack.

"Being submissive isn't what most people think it is. People that don't understand think it's about kinky sex. While I'm sure you two will experiment with it, sex isn't what it's all about, not the important part. When you read about the lifestyle, you'll find a lot of information on people that practice domination and submission do so as a sexual relief or diversion.

"Some women in positions of power in their jobs want to cut loose when they can. The same holds true for sub men. You'll find that many Doms are mild mannered when they aren't involved in a scene."

"I've heard about scenes, Mom. What are they?" Sally asked.

"A scene is where a Dom and sub act out. They engage in the lifestyle for a few hours, a day, or maybe several days. They always know the scene will end and they will return to their normal lives.

"Your Aunt Marge and I don't do it for recreation. It's the way we live every day. You may have never noticed, but it goes on. Uncle Don is the dominate person in our family. Aunt Marge, me, and to some degree your father look to him for important decisions. There are other things, but nothing you need to know about right now. I'm sure as time goes on, you'll notice some of those things.

"Just as you have, we've made a choice. No one was, or is, coerce into anything they don't want to do. As you get older, you'll find life is a series of choices. We make good and bad choices. The hope of any parent is their children learn from the bad choices."

"Do you think I made a bad choice, Mom?" Sally asked.

"Only time will tell, Honey. If I'm correct, you haven't. There is always a chance that a person that is given power will abuse it. Others, like Uncle Don, use their power wisely." Anne smiled and rubbed Sally's arm. "There isn't anything your Uncle Don could ask that I wouldn't do. On the other hand, he has never asked any of us to do anything that would hurt us.

"To answer your question, yes, I like to be tied up. I love to feel helpless sometimes. I love to have my butt paddled. There are many things I enjoy doing and having done to me. Some of those things would make most people cringe. Others would make them call me names. I don't consider myself a slut because of the things I enjoy—you shouldn't either."

"How about restraints and toys? Have you ever used them?" Sally asked and then giggled. "Um, I know about your toys. A while ago Kim, Lisa, Megan, and I ordered these restraint kits on the internet. The kits had wrist and ankle cuffs. Do you have things like that?"

Anne stood up. She took Sally's hand, leading her to Marge and Don's bedroom. Anne knelt on the floor by the bed. She pulled a large wooden box out from under the bed and scooted back. The box was homemade. It was about three feet wide and five feet long. When Anne opened it, Sally gasp.

"These are our things, Sally. You might be able to borrow them, but I have to check with Uncle Don first," Anne said.

Sally looked at the assortment of items in the box. There were leather paddles, whips, floggers and many other things. Anne closed the box and slid it back under the bed.

"If Jack and I can use them, how am I going to get Jack to do it?" Sally asked.

"You're a smart girl. I'm sure you'll think of something," Anne said.

Anne and Sally left the bedroom. In the hallway, Anne gave Sally a hug.

"You should get started on your homework, Honey. We can talk another time," Anne said.

"Thanks, Mom. It helped a lot."

Sally went into her room. She sat on the bed, still wearing the outfit she had worn all day. Opening her book, she began to read the history assignment.

Anne went to the family room. She sat down, waiting for Don to finish what he was saying.

"Don, I think it's time we held our family meeting," Anne said.

Chapter 22


Eddie, Walt, and Brad went to the cockpit to get the rods ready. Jenny sat at the helm and watched for other boats. They were getting close to the area they had caught the sailfish and marlin in the day before.

"I can see why you guys like fishing so much. It's beautiful out here in the morning," Molly said.

"We love everything about it," Kathy said.

"I really want to thank you for letting me stay last night. I had a great time," Molly said. "I still feel funny about sleeping with you and Eddie though."

"Why? No one did anything except sleep," Kathy said. "Well, I guess Eddie did feel you up."

Molly blushed while the other girls giggled.

"That's my brother for you. Eddie can't keep his hands off a nice set of boobs," Jenny said.

"I still can't get over how causal you and Kathy are about boys and sex," Penny said. "I am getting comfortable being naked though. I noticed that after a little while, you forget about it."

"Being naked is fun for us. We don't think of it as being sexual when we're just hanging around. At home, we swim naked all the time," Jenny said.

"Yesterday was the first time I went swimming naked," Penny said.

"Just remember, you don't have to do anything you don't want to," Kathy said. "We want to have fun on the boat. We don't want anyone to feel like they have to do anything."

"I didn't feel like I was being forced. That's what made it fun for me," Penny said and then she giggled. "It made it fun for Walt too."

Molly moved to the rail. She looked down, watching the guys rigging the fishing rods. When Eddie looked up and smiled at her, Molly felt her stomach flip. Kathy noticed Molly. She went to the rail and stood next to her.

"Are you okay, Molly?" Kathy asked.

Molly nodded, but didn't stop watching Eddie, Brad, and Walt.

"You're not upset about the joking around, are you?"

Molly shrugged her shoulders and said, "I can't tell when you're serious and when you're joking."

"Joking mostly. We don't take many things too seriously," Kathy said.

"Not even Eddie?"

"Molly, I love Eddie. I love Jenny and Brad too. We all get along great and have a blast because of it. You were in a serious relationship with Lenny. From what you've said, you felt smothered and that he was taking advantage of you. None of us feel that way about each other."

"I always thought that when you were with someone you didn't mess around with other guys," Molly said.

"If that's what you want. Frankly, I'm not ready to feel tied down yet. If I want to go out with another guy, I don't want to feel like I'm cheating. I don't want to feel guilty."

"Do you feel the same way about Eddie? Would you get all pissed if he went out with another girl?"

"Not if it was what he wanted. If he did it to try to hurt me, I would be upset. If he told me first, I wouldn't. I wasn't kidding when I told you I would share Eddie. I know he feels the same way."

Kathy put her hand on Molly's back. Rubbing her gently, Kathy said, "Don't get all worked up about it. You just broke up with your boyfriend. I think you need some time to think and decide what you want to do. Molly, you're more than welcome to hang around with us."

Molly felt tears forming in her eyes. Turning to Kathy, she sighed. Kathy surprised Molly by taking her in her arms and hugging her. Molly broke down and cried on Kathy's shoulder. After a few minutes, Molly lifted her head.

"I just met you and the others, but I feel like I've known you for a long time. You guys have a way of making me feel so welcome," Molly said.

"You are welcome to hang with us," Kathy said, repeating herself. "Shit, you're even welcome to sleep with Eddie and me."

Molly giggled and said, "I may take you up on that. Next time, I might attack Eddie."

"How about me? Don't you want to attack me too?" Kathy said with a giggle.

"You never can tell."

Kathy moved one of her hands to Molly's bottom. She put her other hand on the shocked girl's breast. Kathy kissed Molly while fondling her butt and breast. When Kathy released Molly, the two of them laughed.

"That was the first time I've been kissed and felt up by a girl," Molly said.

"Hope I didn't shock you too much."

"Kathy, it shocked me, but I have a feeling that if I hang around with you guys I'll learn to just go with the flow. I've been shocked so many times the last two days that I'm getting numb."

"It's only been one day and a few hours. You have a lot of time left today," Kathy said.

Jenny slowed the boat. In the cockpit, Eddie, Brad, and Walt deployed the teasers. Within a few minutes, they were on their first troll. Jenny had spotted a flock of seabirds diving in the water. She steered a course toward the birds, knowing there would be a ball of baitfish near.

"You should go down so you can catch a fish if we hook-up," Kathy said to Molly and Penny.

"I'd rather see Walt catch the first one if no one minds," Patty replied.

"You're falling head over heels for Walt, aren't you, Penny?" Molly said.

Giggling, Penny said, "I think I already have. Being with him yesterday and last night has really made me realize how much I like Walt. The biggest thing is I'm not scared anymore."

"What were you afraid of?" Jenny asked from the helm.

"I don't know. When we went out and parked, I was afraid he would try things I didn't want him to. We've had a chance to talk. Now I know he won't. Walt promised he wouldn't try to do anything I didn't want to do. I believe him," Penny said.

"That's so nice. I wish more guys were like that. It sucks when you feel pressured," Molly said.

Nodding, Penny said, "Walt never pressured me, but I was afraid he would. It wasn't until we talked that I knew he was sincere. Now, when we do it, we're going to share our virginity—he's not going to take mine. I didn't know, but he is a virgin too."

"Does that mean you two are going to go all the way?" Molly asked.

Penny grinned and nodded.

"When?" Molly asked, her voice cracking with excitement.

"I don't know. When we're ready." Penny giggled. "When we have a place we can do it other than in the car."

"Why don't you take him to the stateroom right now?" Molly said with a giggle.

"Um, I have to get on the pill first. Walt said he has condoms, but I don't want to use one. Not the first time we make love. Now that I've—we've decided, we can wait until the time is right." Penny blushed and giggled. "We have other ways to take care of being horny."

"God, I wish I was as smart as you, Penny," Molly said.

"You can't go back, but you don't have to dwell on the past," Kathy said. "You'll get over what happened and move on, Molly. The important thing is to learn from our mistakes."

Molly giggled and said, "You're right! I'll be damned if I'll let some guy fuck me just because he says he loves me."

"That's right, Molly. Next time, fuck because it feels good to you and because you want to," Jenny said. "Fucking is just as good as making love—better sometimes."

Molly laughed. "If someone would have said something like that to me two days ago, I would have been pissed. Now I believe it. Why do we make sex such a big deal?"

Kathy and Jenny laughed. "We don't," Kathy said. "We have sex for two reasons. Because it feels good and because we want to."

"What about making love? Isn't that important to you?" Penny asked.

Jenny smiled and said, "Making love is very important to me, but you don't have to have sex to make love. Brad and I love to cuddle and kiss. To me, that's making love. Having sex just adds to it."

Penny thought for a moment and then smiled. "You're right! When Walt and I were snuggling last night, it felt as good as when we were doing other things."

Kathy noticed Molly was blushing. Kathy put her arm around Molly and said, "You don't have to be embarrassed about last night." Kathy pulled her tighter to her side. "You don't have to be embarrassed about this morning either."

"There's a fish following the starboard rigger!" Kathy yelled as she pointed at the water.

Molly and Penny stared at the water. When Molly spotted the fish, she let out a shriek. She started bouncing and realized Kathy's arm was still around her waist.

Penny watched Brad show Walt how to feed the lure to the fish. When the fish took the lure, Walt set the hook.

"Hey, Kathy, are you trying to seduce Molly?" Jenny said and then she laughed.

Kathy let her hand drop to Molly's butt. She gave Molly a squeeze and said, "Yup, I sure am. She's cute, isn't she?"

"Yeah, I'm jealous," Jenny said.

"You two are nuts!" Molly said, but she didn't try to move away from Kathy.

"Yeah, but we're hot and sexy so we can get away with it," Jenny said.

"You and Kathy seem to have a lot of sex," Penny said.

"Not really. I mean if you think about it, we do many other things too. We've been on the boat since Friday night. Eddie and I only screwed once and that was only for forty five minutes," Kathy said.

"Forty five minutes!" Molly said with a gasp.

"Yeah, I know. It was a quickie," Kathy said.

"Shit, if Lenny lasted five minutes it was a long time. He only lasted that long if it was the second time he got off," Molly said.

"That can be fun once in a while. Sometimes Eddie will jump me and do it in five or ten minutes," Kathy said.

"This was every time! That jerk would bounce on me, come and then tell me how good he was," Molly said in disgust.

"You have to teach them how to last. You have to slow them down. Giving a guy a blowjob first helps too," Jenny said.

Penny giggled and said, "I noticed it took Walt longer the second time last night."

"Did you two get any sleep?" Molly asked.

"We got a few hours. Walt and I talked a lot last night too. We found out things about one another we didn't know. It was so nice," Penny said.

Walt fought the fish to the back of the boat. Brad tagged it and then Eddie managed to wrench the hook out of its mouth. When the guys began resetting the lines, Kathy asked Penny and Molly who was next. Penny and Molly went back and forth for a moment. In the end, Molly went down to the cockpit. Penny had convinced her she wanted to spend some time with Walt.

Kathy went down too. She took Eddie's arm, telling him she needed help getting drinks. When she and Eddie were in the cabin, Kathy took him in her arms.

"I love you, Baby," Kathy said and then she kissed Eddie.

"I love you too."

"Molly is still embarrassed about what happened this morning. She's also smarting over her breakup with Lenny. Honey, I think she has a crush on you," Kathy said.

"Okay, I'll make sure I don't flirt with her," Eddie said.

"Um, that's not why I'm telling you. I think she needs you to flirt with her. Molly's putting on a good front, but I think she needs to feel needed." Kathy giggled. "I've been trying, but I don't think she wants a girl right now."

"Molly is bi?"

"I don't know. She said she's never been with a girl before, but I think she may like to try it."

Eddie gave Kathy a hug. "Can I watch?"

"Sure, maybe you can join in."

"Hmmm, new blood. Sounds good to me," Eddie said. "Look, I'll feel Molly out. I won't push it, but if she's receptive to some flirting, I'll give her some."

Kathy moved her hand to Eddie's crotch. She rubbed him through his sweatpants and giggled. "Are you going to give her some of this?"

"What are you trying to tell me, Kathy? Is there something going on between us I don't know about?"

"No, Honey. I'm just letting you know that if you want to broaden your horizons, I understand. I love you. I hope you know that. I'm just willing to have us explore a little if the opportunity arises."

"You're telling me to have sex with Molly?"

"No. I'm telling you that I love you and that I'm willing to share you. It's not just Molly, with anyone. Eddie, we're still young. We don't know what our future holds. I don't want to end up married and wondering if we did the right thing."

"You and Jenny have been talking, haven't you?"

"Jenny and I talk all the time. If you're suggesting we've been talking about you and Brad, you're right. No matter what happens I think we'll still love each other. I know I'll always love you. I don't want you to miss out on life because you feel held back by me."

Eddie and Kathy hugged and kissed for a few moments. Smiling, they went to get sodas for the rest of the group before returning to the cockpit.

Before they went through the hatch, Eddie stopped Kathy. "Baby you are the greatest girl a guy could ever hope for. I don't know what the future holds either. If you feel you want to, what did you call it? Expand your horizons, the same goes for you too.

"I love you and I'm also willing to share. The only thing I want is for us to talk—like we just did. If we can agree on things, our love won't suffer."

Kathy and Eddie went out to the cockpit. They handed out the cans they carried and then Kathy went up to be with Jenny.

Penny and Walt stayed in the cockpit. Walt leaned against the gunwale while Penny snuggled her back against his chest. He circled her waist with his arms, holding her to him.

Kathy sat next to Jenny, handing her a soda. She stared out over the vastness of the blue ocean and thought about what she had done.

"I just let Eddie go," Kathy said to Jenny.

"What! You broke up with him?" Jenny responded in surprise.

Kathy told Jenny about the conversation she and Eddie had. When Kathy finished, Jenny smiled.

"Brad and I have talked about that too. We agree we're open to new experiences and other people. Does what you did have anything to do with Molly?" Jenny said.

"Yes, partly. It isn't just Molly though. I'm tired of feeling guilty when Brad and I fool around. We talked about this before, but if we limit it to our brothers, we're only fooling ourselves. If we're going to be less serious, it has to be with everyone. Doesn't it?"

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Does this mean you're going to start dating other guys?" Jenny asked.

"No, but I'm not going to feel guilty when I think a boy is cute, or if he turns me on. If the right guy asked, I might go out with him."

Jenny giggled. "Do you have anyone in mind?"

"Not really, but I think Tom is cute."

"He's with Kim."

"I know, but one never knows, does one?" Kathy said with a smirk.

Kathy and Jenny continued to talk. Brad came up and mentioned that no one was spotting for fish. Kathy went to the rail and stared at the water. A few minutes later, she saw a shadow.

"There's a fish chasing the port teaser," Kathy yelled down to Eddie.

Eddie grabbed one of the rods with a lure on it. He gave it to Molly and began coaching her. While telling her what to do, Eddie put his hand on her back. Molly hooked the fish and the fight was on.

While she tussled with the sailfish, Eddie helped her into the harness. He wasn't the least bit cautious about where he touched Molly. Molly didn't care where he touched her. During the fight, Eddie paid attention to Molly.

"Don't pull back too hard, you'll hurt your boobs," Eddie said.

"Maybe you should use your hands to protect them for me," Molly said with a giggle.

"I don't want to get slapped."

"I didn't slap you this morning when you were feeling me up." Molly laughed and then screeched as the fish jumped.

"Kathy is going to be mad at me for flirting with you," Molly said.

"I don't think so, but I'll stop flirting with you if you want me to," Eddie said. "Reel down, pull back."

Molly brought the fish to the stern. Brad tagged it and then Eddie removed the hook. He told Molly that they cut the line on larger fish, but he could get a hold of the smaller sailfish.

The group fished until noon. They hooked two additional fish, giving Penny and Walt a chance to fight and catch them. Kathy suggested they head in so they could swim and have lunch.

Eddie, Brad, and Walt reeled in the lines. While they cleaned the tackle and put it away, the girls sat on the flying bridge. Kathy took the helm so Jenny could go down to the head.

"Would you like to drive, Molly?" Kathy asked.

"I'll try. I've never done it before."

Kathy held the wheel while Molly slipped into the helmsman's seat. She told Molly not to grip the wheel too hard and not to over steer. After a few minutes, Molly relaxed.

"Are we going skinny dipping again today?" Penny asked Jenny when she came back up to the flying bridge.

"If you want to we can. We'll anchor where we were yesterday," Jenny said.

Kathy showed Molly how to follow the chart plotter to their destination. Once they arrived, Kathy told Molly to put the boat in neutral. When the boat stopped coasting, Kathy dropped the anchor.

Brad and Eddie pulled out the deckchairs while Kathy shut the boat down. The girls came down from the flying bridge to join the guys.

"It's much warmer when we're closer to shore and not moving," Penny said.

"It feels good to just sit here," Molly said. "This is so much fun!"

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I going for a swim," Brad said as he stripped. He went to the transom door and opened it. Glancing back, Brad jumped in.

Eddie and Kathy were next to jump into the refreshing water. They swam to the bow so they could stand in the shallower water. A few moments later, the rest of the group joined them.

The teens began to frolic in the cool water. Kathy whispered to Molly and they went after Eddie. When they caught him, Kathy grabbed Eddie from behind.

"Let's make an Eddie sandwich," Kathy said to Molly. "Grab him!"

Molly hesitated for a moment. Kathy encouraged her so she hugged Eddie from the front. Molly and Kathy pressed Eddie between them. The play wasn't sexual. It took Molly a moment to realize they were just having fun. Eddie managed to squirm away. Laughing, he moved toward Jenny and Brad.

Penny and Walt had been off to the side watching the others play. They hugged and kissed one another while commenting on what was going on. Finally, they moved closer and joined in the fun.

Brad began splashing. Eddie dunked Kathy and then went after Molly. Moving behind her, Eddie grabbed Molly around the waist. When he swung her around, her wet body slipped in his arms. Eddie's arms slid up to Molly's breasts. He paused for a moment, squeezing her breasts with his arms before throwing her under.

The teens decided to get out of the water. They swam to the stern and climbed onto the swim platform. Once they were in the cockpit, Brad used the hose to rinse off saltwater. One at a time, they turned so Brad could spray them.

Jenny passed out towels. They dried themselves and relaxed in the deckchairs so the sun could finish drying them.

"We should make lunch," Eddie said. "I think it's the guys' turn."

"Yes it is," Kathy said.

Brad, Eddie, and Walt went to the galley to make sandwiches. They worked together and had lunch ready in a few minutes. Brad told the girls and they came in.

After eating, the girls cleaned up while the guys watched. They talked about the morning's fishing and how much fun they were having.

Penny and Walt blushed when Penny told the others they were going to take a nap. Brad and Jenny teased them, telling Penny and Walt to make sure they got some sleep.

Penny took Walt's hand and led him to the guest stateroom. The moment she closed the door, they were in each other's arms.

The rest of the group went outside to sit in the sun. Jenny and Brad began fooling around. They excused themselves and went to the master stateroom.

Suddenly Molly felt like she was interfering. She shifted nervously in her chair, glancing at Kathy and Eddie. When Kathy noticed, she smiled at Molly.

"Um, you two can go in too. I'll stay out here," Molly said.

"Don't be silly, Molly. The only way Kathy and I are going to go fool around is if you join us," Eddie said with a big grin.

Kathy giggled and said, "Maybe we should leave Eddie out here."

Molly blushed, but she also thought about what Kathy said. She had been thinking about what it would be like with another girl since Kathy began teasing her about it. When Molly felt a tingling in her vagina, she realized the idea didn't offend her.

Taking a chance, Kathy got up and sat on Molly's lap. Before Molly could react, Kathy kissed her. Molly's mouth opened in shock, but she moaned when Kathy's tongue slipped in. Holding the back of Molly's head with one hand, Kathy held the kiss. She moved her other hand to Molly's breast, massaging it.

When Kathy broke the kiss, she noticed how Molly was breathing. Kathy gave her another kiss and then whispered in her ear.

"You liked that, didn't you?" Kathy said and then she nibbled the startled girl's earlobe.

Molly blushed, but nodded her head.

"So did I. If you tell me to, I'll get up."

"What if I don't tell you to get up?" Molly said.

"Then I'm going to kiss you again. That or I'm going to take you into the salon. Molly, it's up to you," Kathy whispered.

Kathy glanced at Eddie. When she saw his erection, she put her mouth back to Molly's ear.

"I think we're exciting Eddie," Kathy whispered.

Molly looked at Eddie and gasped. "Um, it seems we are."

Kathy gave Molly another kiss. She removed her mouth from Molly's and stood up. Extending her hand, Kathy pulled Molly out of the chair when she took it.

Kathy gave Molly a reassuring hug. "Should we invite Eddie or do you what it to be just us?"

Molly took a deep breath. "Invite him," Molly said softly.

While leading Molly into the salon, Kathy used her head to signal Eddie. He smiled and followed them.

Kathy sat Molly on the settee. She sat next to her, putting her arm around her shoulders. Molly didn't resist when Kathy pulled her into a kiss. Eddie stood watching for a moment. He sat on the other side of Molly and began stroking her hair and back. After a moment, Kathy turned Molly's head so Eddie could kiss her.

Molly felt her body warming while Eddie searched the inside of her mouth with his tongue. Kathy's hands roamed over Molly's body. She fondled the girl's breasts and then lowered her head to suck one of Molly's nipples. Molly moaned and arched her back.

Kathy ran her fingertips over Molly's stomach. She began to stroke her mons, causing Molly to suck in a deep breath. Eddie continued to kiss Molly while Kathy played with the tuft of pubic hair on Molly's moms.

"You can stop this anytime you want to, Molly," Kathy whispered in her ear.

Kathy waited for a response. When Molly didn't remove her mouth from Eddie's, Kathy slid her hand between Molly's legs. She toyed with her labia, feeling the heat and moisture. Kathy slid off the settee. She knelt on the deck, placing her hands on Molly's knees.

Kathy applied pressure to the insides of Molly's knees and Molly opened her legs. Kathy kissed Molly's thighs, working her way to her crotch. When she felt Kathy's tongue on her vulva, Molly broke the kiss with Eddie.

Throwing her head back, Molly let out a groan. Eddie watched Molly for a moment. He smiled when he saw the look of lust on her face. Molly put her hand on the back of Kathy's head. She ran her fingers through Kathy's hair and began to pant.

"Oh my God, Kathy! That's so wonderful," Molly babbled.

Eddie leaned over. He took one of Molly's nipples between his lips and began to suck and nibble the rigid nub. Kathy used her finger to penetrate Molly while she flicked her tongue over her clit.

Molly moaned, begged, and wiggled as Kathy and Eddie continued to drive her lust to a level she had never experienced. Molly didn't think of who was doing what. She was nearly delirious and unable to think clearly.

Eddie massaged one breast while suckling the other. He kissed his way up Molly's chest. Eddie planted wet kisses on her neck and then moved to Molly's mouth. When their lips met, Molly slammed her mouth against Eddie's.

Molly's orgasm was so intense she found it hard to breath. She chanted incoherently as wave after wave of pleasure coursed through her quivering body. Molly's stomach muscles rippled and her vagina contracted around Kathy's probing fingers. The climax ebbed, only to rise again. Molly yelled into Eddie's mouth while her fingertips raked his back.

Molly's body went limp. Eddie gave her one last tender kiss before leaning back to see the look on her face. Kathy kissed her way up Molly's overheated body. She kissed her lips and then sat next to her. Molly's flushed body heaved with her labored breathing. Her breathing was a series of gasps with lulls while she held her breath. Eddie and Kathy held her while Molly recovered.

Once she had regained some of her composure, Molly put her arms around Kathy and Eddie. She turned her head from side to side, kissing each of her new lovers' lips.

"Are you okay?" Kathy asked in a low throaty voice.

"What did you do to me? I have never felt like that before," Molly said.

Kathy giggled and said, "Does that mean you liked it?"

"Oh yes! Thank you." Molly said. She kissed Kathy and then she kissed Eddie. "Thanks to both of you."

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Now if you'll excuse me, I have something to take care of. I think Eddie needs some relief," Kathy said as she slipped to the deck.

Molly watched Kathy take Eddie's penis between her lips. Kathy lowered her head, taking most of his member into her mouth. Molly kissed Eddie. She began kissing his chest and then joined Kathy on the deck. While Kathy bobbed her head on Eddie's erection, Molly fondled his testicles.

Gripping Eddie's shaft with her hand, Kathy offered the slick member to Molly. Molly kissed the glans. She opened her mouth, feeling Eddie's penis glide over her lips. For the first time, Molly didn't feel uncomfortable having a penis in her mouth.

Kathy and Molly took turns giving Eddie a blowjob. Molly couldn't take in as much of his penis as Kathy could, but Eddie didn't mind. When the two girls began sliding their lips up and down his shaft at the same time, Eddie tangled his hands in their hair.

Kathy and Molly kept their mouths moving up and down Eddie's penis. When they reached the tip, their lips met in a brief kiss. Kathy wrapped her hand around Eddie's shaft, pumping him with her fist. Molly and Kathy kissed his glans and each other at the same time while Kathy jacked Eddie off.

Eddie let out a groan. Kathy knew he was close and warned Molly. Undaunted, Molly kept her mouth on the glans. When Eddie began ejaculating, Molly and Kathy opened their mouths to capture his semen.

Eddie stopped spurting his come. Kathy took his penis in her mouth, sucking it for a moment. Molly kissed his shaft until Kathy removed her mouth. When his penis was exposed, Molly clamped her lips around the head. She swirled her tongue around the rubbery glans, savoring the feel and taste.

Kathy pulled Molly's head up. She leaned close, kissing Molly and swapping the semen in her mouth with Molly. The two girls broke the kiss. They swallowed and then giggled.

"Thanks girls, that was great," Eddie said.

"Yes it was," Molly said as she got up. "That was the first time I really enjoyed giving head."

Kathy sat on one side of Eddie while Molly snuggled against him on the other. Eddie draped his arms over their shoulders, pulling the two of them close.

"Give a minute to recover and I'll take care of you, Baby," Eddie said to Kathy.

"Um, I think that's my job," Molly said. She giggled and crawled across Eddie. Molly kissed Kathy tenderly. "You'll have to tell me what to do."

Eddie moved so he could watch Kathy and Molly. Molly began to kiss Kathy and rub her breasts. She started to move down Kathy's body and Kathy told Molly to slow down.

Molly and Kathy hugged, kissed, and touched each other. They became lost in one another, forgetting that Eddie was watching them. Kathy guided Molly, showing her what she liked. Molly complied, kissing and touching Kathy.

Kathy put her hands on Molly's shoulders. Molly knew what Kathy wanted and moved to the deck. Kneeling between her legs, Molly looked up at Kathy. Kathy opened her legs. Molly gazed at Kathy's vulva for a moment. She leaned in and gave Kathy's sex a tentative kiss. Kathy gently stroked Molly's head. She ran her fingers through Molly's damp red hair while Molly became used to what she was doing.

Molly swiped her tongue over Kathy's labia. When she tasted the tangy juices that escaped the puffy lips, Molly realized it didn't taste offensive. Molly had heard about girls that tasted themselves, but she had never garnered the courage to do it. Now she wondered why.

Kathy's moans and wiggling hips encouraged Molly. She became determined to give Kathy the pleasure she had received. Molly inserted one of her fingers in Kathy's vagina. She used her tongue to lap at Kathy while her finger sawed in and out. Kathy tangled her hands in Molly's hair. She humped her hips, rubbing her sex against Molly's face. A few moments later, Kathy's orgasm rocked her. Molly felt empowered and stabbed her tongue into Kathy's vagina.

When Kathy fell back, Molly kissed all around her sex. She licked her vulva, collecting as much of Kathy's juices as she could. Molly moved up to Kathy's mouth and the two girls shared a kiss.

Sated, the three of them relaxed on the settee. Molly snuggled against Eddie's left side while Kathy snuggled against his right side. He put his arms around the girls, holding them snuggly to his body.

Molly's mind reeled with the events she had participated in with Kathy and Eddie. For the first time, she felt completely satisfied, sexually, and more importantly, emotionally. She felt wanted, not used. She felt no guilt about any part of what she had done.

Eddie's arm cramped, causing him to jerk. Kathy and Molly woke up and asked what was wrong.

"My arm cramped," Eddie said. "I'm okay now.'

"Why don't we take a swim? I need to rinse off—I'm all sweaty," Kathy said.

Molly followed Kathy and Eddie outside. They jumped in the water, swimming around behind the boat for a few minutes. When they climbed out, they felt refreshed. Eddie rinsed the girls. Kathy took the hose and did the same for Eddie.

"That felt great," Molly said.

"Yes it did, I'm ready to go again," Kathy said with a giggle.

"Have fun, I need more rest," Eddie said.

"Bullshit, I know you could do it again," Kathy said.

Kathy and Eddie laughed. Molly blushed. She was getting better, but Molly wasn't as comfortable with the open talk about sex that Kathy and Eddie were.

"So, Sweetie, how did you like eating pussy?" Kathy asked Molly.

Molly felt her face and chest heat up as she buried her face in her hands. "Have you no shame?" Molly mumbled.

"Me? Nope, none at all," Kathy said. "If I was ashamed, I wouldn't do it."

Molly looked up. "I'm not ashamed. It's just that I'm still getting used to all of this. I'm still getting used to you guys." Molly giggled and then said, "Um, I liked it, Kathy."

"Liked what?" Jenny asked as she and Brad came out of the cabin.

Kathy looked at Molly. When Molly realized Kathy wasn't going to say anything, she did. "Having sex with a girl," Molly said coyly.

Jenny grinned. "Yeah, it's great!" Jenny sat in one of the deckchairs and glanced at her brother. Eddie winked at Jenny.

Brad went up to start the engines. Eddie went to the flying bridge with Brad.

"You and Kathy had a threesome with Molly?" Brad said.

"We messed around, no one got fucked."

"Jenny and I had a talk about all of us. She told me Kathy said you can go out with other girls," Brad said. "Jenny and I agreed to the same thing."

"It's weird, but when I think about it, it makes sense. I love Kathy and I don't want another girlfriend, but it's nice not feeling tied down. Like I said, it sounds weird," Eddie said.

"Not to me, buddy. I happen to agree with you. You know I worship Jenny. I think our relationship is going to get even better now. I'm not looking for anyone, but I won't feel like shit when Kathy and I screw around now."

"What happened with Molly wasn't a big deal. It wasn't something we all haven't done before," Eddie said as if he was justifying what happened.

"That may be true for you and Kathy, but how about Molly? Shit, she just broke up with Lenny and a day later, she's having sex with you and my sister. How do you think she's going to take it if you two treat it like it's no big deal?"

"I haven't thought about it. Shit, you're right. What am I going to do?" Eddie said.

"You're going to have to play it by ear, Eddie." Brad chuckled. "Who knows, it may be my sister that has the problem, not you. Then again, it could be both you and Kathy. The good news is Molly is a hottie. If you end up with another girl, you could do a lot worse."

"Come on, be serious, Brad."

Bran put his hand on Eddie's shoulder. "Eddie, I'm as serious as a heart attack! You had better watch close. I know you'll hate yourself if you hurt Molly—it's just the way you are."

"I will. I need to talk to Kathy, don't I?"

"It wouldn't hurt," Brad said.

Brad pulled the anchor. He turned the boat around and headed out of the shallow water.

"Where do you want to go?" Brad asked.

"I think we should call it a day. I have homework and we have to wash down the boat," Eddie said. "I'll go down and get some clothes for us. I'll let the girls know were headed in too."

Eddie went to the cockpit. He told the girls about heading in. Jenny asked him to knock on the guest stateroom and let Penny and Walt know what was going on.

Walt and Penny were coming up the steps when Eddie walked into the cabin. He told them to get dressed because they were heading back to the marina.

Penny giggled, hugged Walt's arm and said, "Darn it, I'm getting used to being naked."

"I'm already used to you being naked," Walt said.

"I'm used to you being naked too, Sweetie," Penny said.

Eddie grabbed shorts and tee shirts for him and Brad. When Eddie went up to the flying bridge, they got dressed. Brad drove the boat to the marina, backing into the slip. Eddie and Walt tied the boat to the pilings while Brad shut it down.

"We're going to wash down the boat," Eddie said. "You girls may want to go inside or on shore."

"We're going to clean the inside," Kathy said.

It took the teens an hour to clean the boat. Eddie divided the fish, giving everyone some of the fresh meat. Once the boat was secure, they left.

Eddie followed Molly to her car. Before she got in, he gave her a hug and a chaste kiss. "I hope we didn't do anything that will make you not want to see us again," Eddie said.

Molly hugged Eddie as tightly as she could. "Not at all, Eddie. I hope we can all get together again soon. I had a great time. I'll never forget any of it. Eddie, I know what we did wasn't anything more than the three of us having fun."

Eddie had to think about what Molly said for a moment. He kissed her forehead and said, "Molly, it was more than just having fun to me. I like you and, while I'm not going to break up with Kathy, I'd really like to have you as our friend. Why don't we just see what happens. I don't want any of us to make a snap decision that we may regret."

"About being friends?" Molly said.

"No, about not being friends. Because we didn't talk about it first. I'll see you in school tomorrow."

Molly fought back the tears that were forming in her eyes. While Eddie held Molly, Kathy came over. She joined the hug, causing Molly to lose it.

"How can I ever thank you guys for being so understanding?" Molly said as she sobbed softly.

"You don't have to, Molly," Kathy said. She giggled and kissed Molly on the cheek. "However, if you feel you must thank me, I know how you can do it."

Molly looked at Kathy. Kathy licked her lips, sending the girls into a fit of laughter.

"I'm going to hold you to that, Kathy," Molly said.

"Good. We have to go. I'll talk to you later," Kathy said.

"Kathy, would you mind if I called you guys?" Molly asked.

"I'd mind if you didn't, Molly. You can call any of us anytime you want to. We get together at Eddie's to swim during the week. We'd love to have you join us," Kathy said.

After hugging and exchanging kisses, the three of them separated. Kathy and Eddie went to the van while Molly got into her car. They waved and pulled away.

Eddie dropped Walt and Penny off at Penny's house. After agreeing to get together again, they left.

"Do you want to go home or to our house?" Jenny asked Brad and Kathy.

"Why don't we go to your house? Our parents are probably there," Brad said.

When they got to Eddie and Jenny's house, they saw Mr. and Mrs. Waters' car in the drive. Eddie parked next to it and the teens got out. They took their clothes and the frozen fish in the house. The parents were in the backyard, sitting around a table.

After a brief greeting, the kids told their parents about their weekend. Harry and Jack told their children that they worked on Saturday. The men told their children about the progress on the fishing boat and the yacht.

"We have a few things we want to add to the fishing boat," Eddie said. "We're planning to stop at the boatyard after school tomorrow."

"As long as it doesn't involve any major changes," Harry said.

"Nothing major. We want to add an intercom from the bridge and the tuna tower to the cockpit. We also want to add a fish cleaning area to the tackle station and bait prep," Brad said.

"We're going to do our homework. When is dinner?" Sally said.

"We'll have dinner at six. I'm making lasagna, salad, and garlic bread," Ellen said.

The four teens went in the house to do their schoolwork. After an hour, they finished. Kathy sat next to Eddie on the couch while Brad and Jenny sprawled out on the floor.

"Anyone want to go for a swim?" Jenny asked.

"I'll go with you, Baby," Brad said.

"We'll catch up with you," Eddie said.

Brad and Jenny went outside to go swimming. Eddie turned to Kathy and took her hand in his.

"Did we screw up today, Honey?" Eddie said.

Kathy smiled and said, "No, not as far as I'm concerned."

"I would hate it if we hurt Molly."

"Well, that's up to us, isn't it? I don't know what's going to happen, but I agree with you, I don't want to hurt her." Kathy said. "Do you want to know what I'd like to see happen?"

Eddie nodded.

"If I had my way, we would become three. That is if Molly would be down for it. I love you, Eddie. I don't want to break up. I have a growing feeling for Molly. I think Molly is falling for you."

"Complicated, isn't it?" Eddie said.

"It could be. It could be fun too. You are a great guy. It's easy to see why a girl would fall for you. I know I did. I have always had a thing for girls. You know that. I think we need to talk to Molly and see what she wants. Who knows, she might not want anything to do with us other than being friends."

"True. We are making plans that include someone that might not want to be a part of it. We'll talk to her when we get a chance. What ever we do, we shouldn't take too long to do it."

Kathy and Eddie began kissing. They spoke softly, professing their love for one another. After a few moments, they went outside to be with Jenny and Brad.

That night, after the Waters had left, Jenny took Eddie outside. They sat on the glider and enjoyed the cool night air.

"What are you and Kathy going to do about Molly?" Jenny asked her brother. "You two should have known better than to do what you did."

"We didn't force Molly to do anything, Jen."

"No, but you didn't do anything to stop it either. You know she was vulnerable after breaking up with her boyfriend. If I didn't know you and Kathy better, I'd say you took advantage of her."

"That wasn't our intent. We were just kidding around and one thing led to another. Kathy and I gave her several opportunities to say no. Besides, we just had some fun. I didn't screw her."

Jenny giggled and said, "Sometimes you can be so naïve. Didn't you pay attention to how Molly acted around you? That girl is so smitten it's almost funny."

"Kathy and I are going to talk to Molly as soon as we can. We have an idea to present to her."

"Can I ask what your idea is?"

"Um, Kathy thinks we could become three."

Jenny snickered. "Well, that would solve one of Kathy's problems, wouldn't it?"

"You mean her being bi?" Eddie said.

"Yeah, that's what I mean. I like fooling around with Kathy occasionally, but she wants more. I can't give her anymore than I have, or do. Kathy wants a relationship that is as emotional as it is sexual. For me, it's just sex."

"I hope I don't lose Kathy to another girl."

"No chance of that." Jenny giggled and rubbed Eddie's crotch. "She would never give up cock—your cock. No, she just wants a girl she can snuggle with when it suits her."

"Is that fair to Molly or any other girl?" Eddie said.

"It is if they both agree. Kathy and I have talked about it. She knows I love her, but she also knows I can't give her what she wants. Maybe Molly can—if Molly wants to be involved in a relationship like that."

"I have a lot to think about, don't I?"

"It seems you do. Who knows, maybe Molly will wake up tomorrow and chalk it all up to a great time."

Eddie and Jenny picked Brad and Jenny up the next morning. Jenny sat in back with Brad as she normally did. Eddie parked the van and they headed for the building. Before they were half way across the parking lot, Molly came scurrying up to them.

"Morning, how are you guys today?" Molly said.

"Great, how are you, Molly?" Jenny said.

"I'm doing well. I had a nice talk with my mom last night. She's happy I dumped Lenny. I think she's almost as happy as I am about it. Mom says thanks for the fish," Molly said.

The teens walked toward the building. Penny and Walt joined the group, greeting everyone.

"Walt, did you get pictures of me with my fish?" Molly asked. "I don't know if Lenny is going to give me the ones he took."

"I have some. I can also get them from Lenny if he doesn't give them to you." Walt said.

"Thanks, Walt. Penny, did your mom say anything about you staying on the boat?" Molly said.

"Not really, but she did say something when I asked her if I could go on the pill," Penny said and then she giggled.

"What did your mom say? Did she go nuts?" Molly said.

"Surprisingly, no she didn't. You won't believe it, but Mom said she thought I was being responsible for asking," Penny said.

Walt beamed. "When are you going to the doctors?"

Penny playfully smacked his arm. "Mom said she would take me this week, you horny devil!"

"You have to wait six months before the pill is effective," Kathy said, trying to keep from laughing.

"Really?" Walt said, his face showing his disappointment.

"She's teasing you, honey. We don't have to wait six months," Penny said.

"You are so mean," Molly said to Kathy. "You can do it a lot sooner than that, Penny. What did your mom say about staying on the boat?"

"Like I said, Mom and I had a nice long talk last night. She asked if I did anything while I was on the boat. I told her I slept in the same bed as Walt," Penny said.

"No way! What did she say?" Molly asked.

"You won't believe it. She said she was glad I was honest with her. After that, we talked for hours. I have Jenny and Kathy to thank. They're the ones that wouldn't let me lie to my mom," Penny said.

While the group stood at the entrance waiting for the bell, Erin came up to them. She saw Molly and said, "Hi, Molly. I didn't know you knew these guys."

"I know them from school. I went fishing with them this weekend, Erin. Are you a friend of theirs too?" Molly said

"Yeah! Frank is Eddie and Jenny's cousin," Erin said. Erin giggled and said, "Molly and I are cousins. Her mom is my dad's sister."

Molly looked at Eddie and laughed. "Small world, isn't it?"

"No kidding, Molly," Kathy said.

"Erin, I dumped Lenny this weekend," Molly said.

"It's about time. I never thought you guys were good together. He has a big mouth," Erin said.

The bell rang, signaling the start of classes. The teens all said goodbye and agreed to get together at lunch. Before Molly walked away, Eddie told her he and Kathy wanted to talk to her. Molly gasped, but when Eddie smiled and winked, she felt better.

Molly was waiting outside the cafeteria when Kathy and Eddie came down the hallway. They went in, got their meals and found a table that was out of the way. Kathy had told Jenny that she wanted to talk to Molly and that they wanted to be alone for a few minutes. Eddie sat with Jenny and Brad, watching for a signal from Kathy.

"Is everything okay?" Molly asked. "You two aren't mad at me are you?"

"No, we're not mad. Everything is fine. We felt we should talk though," Kathy said. "Molly, how do you feel about what happened yesterday?"

"I'm okay with it. I feel very lucky that you two included me," Molly said, but Kathy could tell there was more.

"What about what you and I did? How do you feel about that now that you've had a chance to think about it?" Kathy said.

Molly blushed. "Um, I liked it—I liked it a lot."

"How about what you did with Eddie. What we did with him?" Kathy asked.

Once again, Molly blushed. "I liked that too. I liked snuggling with you two afterwards too. What are you getting at, Kathy. Is Eddie mad?"

Shaking her head, Kathy said, "No, he's not mad at you or me. We want to make sure you're not upset."

"Kathy, what are you trying to say?" Molly asked.

"It's kind of hard, but here it goes. Eddie and I talked about us last night. By us, I mean the three of us. Eddie likes you and so do I—we like you a lot. Eddie and I want to know what you want."

Molly shrugged her shoulders and pushed her fruit salad around with her fork. "I don't know what I want, Kathy. Yesterday you and Eddie showed me how good sex could be. You also showed me how great friends could be. I don't have much experience with guys. Lenny is the only boy that I really did anything with and that turned out to be a disaster.

"Lenny never made me feel like you and Eddie did. He never gave me an orgasm—I don't think he cared enough to try. You and Eddie made love to me. To you it might have been sex, but it was much more to me. No matter who I'm with from now on, I will compare them to you two."

"Would you do it again? I mean with Eddie and me?" Kathy asked.

"I'd do it in a heartbeat! Not just for the sex. Although that was amazing, but for everything else you two did. You treated me like I've always wanted to be treated. I felt like I was a part of something. Eddie was patient with me when I was fishing. You were open and honest. What more could anyone ask for in a friend?"

"Molly, I'm bisexual. I like girls almost as much as I like boys. I really loved being with you yesterday. Not just when we were fooling around, but all day. When we were in bed together, I wanted to be next to you. When we were on the flying bridge, I wanted to kiss you more than anything. Jenny and I have fooled around, but I want more. I want some emotional connection too.

"Eddie and I have a proposition for you. If you think we're nuts, tell me and I'll never mention it again. Please hear me out before you say anything—okay?"

Molly stared at Kathy, nodding her head slowly.

"We want you to be with us, Molly. We want us to be three. I love Eddie. I don't want to break up with him. He doesn't want to break up with me. We both like you and we want to..."

Molly began to cry. She took a drink of her milk and tried to compose herself.

"If you're asking me if I want to be with you and Eddie, as a girlfriend to both of you, my answer is yes. Last night I couldn't think of anything else. I tried to figure out a way to tell you and Eddie how I feel. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find the words. I figured you two would think I was sick if I suggested something like that. I don't have to think about it, Kathy.

Kathy smiled. She glanced at Eddie and waved him over. "This is for Eddie and I, isn't it."

Molly giggled and said, "Yes, we can include Eddie too."

Eddie came over to the table. He stood at the end, looking between Kathy and Molly. Kathy giggled and said, "You didn't bring your food, don't you want to eat lunch with our girlfriend?"

Eddie chuckled. He looked at Molly, retuning her smile. Nodding his head, he went to get his tray so he could finish eating with Kathy and Molly.

After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, Kathy said, "She said yes, Honey."

"That's wonderful, Molly," Eddie said.

Molly grinned. Leaning in, she said, "I have a question. I have a million questions, but for now, just one. Um, will it always be the three of us?"

"Probably not, Molly. I know Kathy is going to want to spend some time alone with you. I know I'll want to spend time alone with each of you. For now, we'll play it by ear and see how it goes. This is new to all of us. It's going to take some time to sort things out. The most important thing we can do is be honest.

"There are going to be times we're going to disagree. We have to make sure we keep our lines of communications open so we can avoid misunderstandings. We have to understand when one of wants to be with another. If I tell you I want to be with Kathy, it isn't because I don't care for you. If you tell me you want to be with Kathy, I will know it isn't because you don't care for me.

"We are going to have to work very hard. We are going to have to deal with our friends too. I doubt most of them will understand. It isn't about what our friends want. This is between the three of us, no one else. If we can all agree on that, we can make it work. If any of us start getting jealous, it could destroy the relationship between all of us."

Kathy giggled and said, "See why I love this guy?"

"Yes, I certainly do. I see why I'm falling for you guys too. No matter what, you look at life as an adventure. You seem willing to try anything without fearing how other people will react. That takes bravery. I have spent far too much time worrying about what other people thought about me. It's time for me to start doing things because I want to, not because I think it's what someone else wants," Molly said.

Tears of joy ran from Molly's eyes. She wiped her eyes with her napkin and took a deep breath.

"I want you to meet my Mom. I want to meet your parents too. I'm not going to hide, not anymore. I think that my mom has only met two or three of the boys I've dated. Can we do that? Meet each other's parents?"

"We wouldn't have it any other way, would we, Kathy," Eddie said.

"Nope, we sure wouldn't. I don't know about your mom, but I know my parents will accept the fact we're together, Molly," Kathy said. "Not just the three of us. You and me too."

"My mom's just going to have to accept it or die with it. I'm not going to be something I'm not in front of her either," Molly said. "Can you two come over tonight?"

"We have to work after school. We can come over after we're finished," Eddie said.

"Cool, I'll call you after I talk to Mom. Maybe we can all have dinner," Molly said.

The bell rang so the teens had to end their conversation. Eddie put his arms around Kathy and Molly. As they walked out of the room, Jenny and Brad gave them a thumb up.

After school, Eddie and Kathy met Molly in the parking lot. They talked for a moment and Kathy agreed to call Molly after work. The three gave each other kisses before going their separate ways.

When Brad and Jenny got into the van, Jenny asked how things went at lunch. On the way to the boatyard, Kathy and Eddie told their siblings about the conversation.

Kathy finished telling her brother and Jenny what she, Eddie, and Molly talked about at lunch. Jenny shook her head and said, "I really hope things work out for you guys."

"Thanks, Jenny, we hope it works out too," Eddie said.

Chapter 23


On Friday morning, Kim woke Tom. She and Tom got out of bed and dressed so they could work out with Sally and Jack. Kim walked into Jack and Sally's room to make sure they were up. They were dressed and ready to go.

It had been three days since Sally had given herself to Jack. More importantly, since Jack accepted her as his. Other than telling Sally how to dress each morning, their relationship was much the same as it had been. On a couple occasions, Jack had told Sally to do something sexual. She complied without a moment's hesitation.

This was the third workout for Jack and Sally. It was the second time for Kim and Tom. Jack pushed Sally as well as himself, adding reps and weight each time. Sally didn't complain about her sore muscles. She knew Jack wanted her to do it or he wouldn't tell her to.

After going through their routine, the four teens went to the pool to swim laps. Each morning, Jack added two laps to their swim. He also told Sally he wanted to finish in the same amount of time. Tom and Kim followed the routines Jack laid out.

"I'm not as sore today as I have been," Sally said while she washed Jack in the shower.

"Good, next week, we're going to make our workout a little harder. If we keep pushing, we'll be ready for fishing," Jack said. He playfully smacked Sally's butt. "We don't want your ass getting fat either."

"We don't have big butts," Kim said.

"That's right, and if we keep working out, you and Sally won't have," Jack said. "Both of you look great. I'm not saying you don't. I think we need to be stronger. We want to fish and we have the yacht. From what Jeri had told Tom and me, working on the yacht can be hard work."

"I agree with Jack, working out can't hurt us. We used to, but slacked off when we were in Florida. We need to get back at it," Tom said.

"I miss working out, I'm glad we're doing it again," Sally said.

They finished in the shower and went to their rooms to get ready for school. Jack picked out Sally's outfit. He selected white tights, a white bodysuit, and a pink skirt. Sally was happy with his choice. She was even happier he was picking out what she wore each day.

At the breakfast table, Jack said, "Tom, do you mind driving your truck too. Sally and I have to make a stop on the way home."

"No, I don't mind. I hope it starts; I don't think I've used my Expedition since we got back," Tom said.

"If it won't start, we'll take my truck, Tom."

"Good morning, kids," Marge said when she walked into the kitchen. "Don said we're leaving at five to go up north. We'd like to see you before we leave."

"We'll be home, Mom," Jack said. "Sally and I have an errand to run after school, but we'll be home before you leave."

After eating, the four teens left for Mrs. Phillips house. Tom's truck started without any trouble. On the way, Sally sat next to Jack. He stoked her leg and told her how much he liked the way she looked in her outfit.

"Thank you, I'm glad you're pleased with the way I look," Sally said.

"I am more than pleased, Sally. You look very sexy to me. Lift your ass, I want to feel it."

Sally leaned toward the passenger door, lifting her bottom off the seat. Jack ran his hand under her skirt and over her bottom. The tights made Sally's butt feel firmer that it really was. After a few moments, Jack removed his hand. Sally remained as she was until he told her she could sit normally.

"Do you like the way my ass feels when I wear tights?" Sally asked.

"Yes. It makes it feel nice, not that your ass doesn't feel nice when it's naked too."

"Want me to pull my tights down?'

Jack chuckled and shook his head.

The four teens met at the Phillip's house for classes. Dianne gave each of them their morning assignments, helping them when they had questions. Jack couldn't keep his eyes off Sally. She noticed him glancing at her and smiled. Sally wiggled in her seat, causing her skirt to rise on her legs.

During lunch, Brad said he had a surprise for Jack, Kim, Tom, and Sally. When Kim asked what it was, Brad said he wouldn't tell them, but they would find out tomorrow.

The afternoon moved quickly for Jack, but Sally's anticipation of what Jack had in store made her day drag. She wanted to ask, but didn't think it was her place. Sally smiled when she thought what the consequences might be if she did. Maybe she would get a spanking.

"Kids, because you're been working so hard, it won't be necessary for you to come here tomorrow," Mrs. Phillips said. "I'm giving you a little extra work for the weekend, but not too much more than usual. Have a good time at your party."

"Thank you, Mrs. Phillips. We'll make sure the work is finished on Monday," Jack said.

Mrs. Phillips dismissed the teens. Jack said goodbye to everyone and ushered Sally out to the truck. On the way to the unknown destination, Sally had trouble holding still.

Jack pulled into the parking lot of a strip mall. He held the door for Sally while she slid out. Jack smiled when she opened her legs to give him a view of her covered crotch.

While Jack walked toward the stores, Sally lagged behind him. He stopped and waited for her to catch up.

"What are you doing back there?" Jack asked.

Sally shrugged her shoulders.

"Sally, you may be submissive, but you are not subservient. When we're together, you will walk next to me, not behind me. Do you understand?" Jack said.

"Yes, Jack, I'm sorry," Sally said.

Jack led Sally into a jewelry store. He told her to wait while he talked to the jeweler. After a moment, he waved Sally over to him. Jack introduced the man and then they followed him to the backroom of the store.

"Are you sure this is what you want," the man asked Jack.

"Yes, very sure," Jack replied. He turned to Sally. "Close your eyes until I tell you to open them."

Sally stood with her eyes shut. She felt something around her neck, something cool. The man told Sally to be very still. Jack held Sally's ponytail away from her neck. She shivered when she felt something held against the back of her neck. When the jeweler finished, Jack released Sally's hair.

"You can open your eyes, Sally," Jack said.

Sally let her eyes open. She blinked a couple times and then turned to Jack. She could feel the object around her neck, but she couldn't tell what it was. Jack picked up a handheld mirror. He held it for Sally so she could see what the jeweler put around her neck.

Jack smiled when he saw tears in Sally's eyes. She put her fingertips to her neck, feeling the gold chain Jack wanted her to wear. There was a J woven in the chain. The necklace was three eights inch thick. It laid snuggly around Sally's neck with enough slack to be comfortable.

"Sally, Jack asked me to solder the chain. The only way to remove it is to cut it. You can clean it with a toothbrush and toothpaste. If you need it made larger, you'll have to come back," the jeweler said.

Sally nodded. Her fingers remained on the chain as she committed the unique design to memory. Looking very close, Sally could see figures. On closer inspection, she realized they were of a girl. The girl was kneeling with her hands behind her back. The detail was so delicate that you had to look very close to notice.

Jack paid for the chain. On the way out of the store, Sally couldn't contain her joy. She put her arms around Jack's neck. Kissing him, she thanked him.

"Thank you for my collar, Jack. You have no idea how much this means to me," Sally said.

"You are mine. Now everyone that knows the meaning of your collar will know."

Jack walked down the storefronts until he came to a pet shop. He guided Sally into the store and toward the leaches and collars. "Now we'll get you a collar you will wear when I want you to. This one will only be used in private."

Jack selected a black dog collar. He fit it around Sally's neck, making sure it would fit. After making sure it was equipped with a hasp for a padlock, Jack decided to buy it.

"Pick out a leash, Sally."

Sally giggled and began going through the leashes hanging on the rack. She picked a thin black one. Showing it to Jack, she handed it to him when he nodded. Sally stood next to Jack at the counter. She was practically prancing while she watched him pay for her leather collar and leash.

On the way home, Sally couldn't keep her hands off the gold collar. She thanked Jack repeatedly and told him how happy she was.

"I wish we had time to go to the mall. I would love to show Celia my collar," Sally said.

"Not today. We have to get home so we can see our parents before they leave."

"Okay, maybe you can take me some other time."

"I will if you behave," Jack said, trying hard not to chuckle.

Jack and Sally walked into the house. Marge and Anne were in the kitchen, having a cup of coffee. When she saw her mom, Sally almost ran across the room. She stood with her hands behind her back and her head held high.

"Hi, Mom. Are you guys almost ready to go?" Sally asked as she twisted from side to side.

Anne furrowed her brow, trying to figure out what was up with her daughter. Suddenly, she caught a glint of light from Sally's neck. She stood up, moving close to Sally. Anne reached out and ran her fingers over her daughter's new collar. Looking past Sally, Anne winked at Jack.

"Look what Sally has, Marge," Anne said.

Marge walked up to Sally. She looked at the necklace and then kissed Sally. "Congratulations, Sally. I hope you have what you want."

"I have what I need, Aunt Marge. Isn't it beautiful?" Sally said.

"Yes it is. Jack has very good taste," Marge said.

Anne nodded and gave Sally a hug. "Run along, I think Jack wants you."

"Thanks, Mom. Can I show Dad and Uncle Don?"

Anne sighed. She knew her daughter was no longer hers. "Sally, you have to ask Jack."

Nodding, Sally gave her mom a hug. She went to Jack and looked into his eyes. "May I show my dad and Uncle Don my collar please?"

"Yes, and Sally, you should also listen to your parents. For now anyway, Honey. Hurry back."

Sally went to the office. She knocked in the doorframe and waited for her father or uncle to answer. Don looked up and invited her into the room.

"Dad, Uncle Don, look what Jack gave me." Sally lifted her head to display her collar. "Isn't it wonderful?"

"Yes it is, Sally. Sit down for a moment," Don said.

Sally obeyed Don's request. Marc sat next to Sally while Don sat sidesaddle on the desk.

"Sally, you have made a very important decision about your life. I've talked to your mom and dad about this and they feel the decision is yours to make. I want to know how you feel about it," Don said.

"I made the decision of my own free will. Jack didn't want to own me at first, but he finally said he would. He gave me the rules and I agreed to them. I love Jack and want to be with him for as long as he wants me," Sally said. She smiled and held her head high as she spoke.

Don glanced at Marc. When Marc nodded, Don smiled. "So be it. I hope you enjoy your position. Whatever happens, you have to resolve it with Jack. Your parents, your Aunt Marge, and I will answer questions for you, but we won't advise you. If you disobey Jack, he may punish you. You know how to end it if you want to."

Marc gave Sally a hug. "Go see Jack. We have to finish a couple of things and get going. I'll see you before we go, Honey," Marc said.

Sally gave her dad and uncle a hug. She skipped out of the room and went to find Jack. Sally stood next to Jack in the kitchen, waiting for him to tell her what he wanted. Glancing down, Jack said, "Have you shown Tom and Kim your gift yet?"

Shaking her head, Sally said, "No, may I?"

"Yes. I think they're upstairs. After you show them, wait for me in our room," Jack said.

Sally headed upstairs. She walked into Kim and Tom's room and started giggling. Sashaying across the room, Sally said, "Look what I have. Jack bought it for me."

"Wow, that is really pretty," Kim said. "Let me try it on."

"You can't, sorry."

"Why not, Sal?"

"It doesn't come off."

Kim went over to Sally and inspected the necklace. "There isn't a clasp. Why would Jack give you a necklace that you can't remove?"

"It isn't a necklace, it's a collar. Can you see Jack's initial?" Sally said.

"What's going on, Sally?" Tom asked.

Jack came into the room. He put his arm around Sally, holding her close to him. Looking at his sister and Tom, Jack smiled.

"The collar is a symbol. It represents my ownership of Sally. When she gave herself to me, and I accepted, I decided to buy it for her."

"You two are really serious about this, aren't you?" Tom said. He got up and went to Sally. "Sally, I guess you have decided you want this. I will support you anyway I can," Tom said.

"The best way to support Sally is to let her be what she is. Sally is my sub and I will take care of her needs. If you want to understand, do a search on the web. I think you'll find out it isn't what you think it is," Jack said.

Kim grinned and said, "Jack, will you lend her to me when I want to fool around with a cute girl?"

"You can ask me. If I feel Sally has been good, I'll gladly lend her to you," Jack said.

"What about Sally, doesn't she have a say in this?" Tom asked.

Sally looked at Jack. He winked at her and she said, "No, Tom. I don't have a say in it. If Jack gives me to Kim, or anyone else, I'll do what I'm told." Anticipating her brother's next question, Sally said, "Tom, this is what I want. It's what I've wanted for a long time. You don't have to like it, but it would help if you were happy for me."

"If it's what you want, I am happy for you. I'll do what Jack said. I'll learn about this so I can try to understand. Sally, you're my sister and I love you. Right now, I feel helpless because I don't think I can help you."

"Tom, I don't need help. I love you too. Whatever you decide you want out of life, I'll support. Please do the same for me," Sally said.

Tom nodded. He started toward Sally, pausing to look at Jack. Jack nodded and smiled. Tom took his sister in his arms. He hugged Sally and she hugged him back. When they broke their embrace, Jack sent Sally to their room.

"Tom, Kim, please don't worry about Sally. I promise I will protect her—even from herself if necessary. You need to know that I may have to punish Sally. It goes with the territory. Please do a little research. I guarantee you will be enlightened—I certainly was."

Jack left Kim and Tom. They sat on their bed and looked at one another. "What do you think about this, Kim? I'm having trouble with it again," Tom said.

"I think we should do what Jack said. We should learn about their relationship. That way we might understand," Kim replied.

Nodding, Tom went to the desk to get the notebook computer. They turned it on and waited while it booted. Tom went to a search engine and began to look for information.

Jack went into his room. Sally sat on the edge of the bed, her hands folded in her lap. Smiling, Jack said, "You may change your clothes. Put on whatever you want to. Later, I will pick out your outfit for the party. Do you have anything you'd like to wear?"

"No, what you want will be fine, Jack."

Sally removed her clothes. When she was naked, Jack called her to him. Sally moved quickly, standing in front of Jack. He traced the collar with his fingertip and said, "Do you like it?"

"More than I can tell you, Baby. It's okay if I call you baby, isn't it?"

"Yes, you can use terms of endearment when addressing me, Sweetie." Jack smiled and gave her a kiss. He picked up the leather collar from his desk and fastened it around Sally's neck. Once he was sure the collar wasn't too tight, he led Sally to the mirror.

"You look good in this collar too. If I keep it a little snug, I can see both of them," Jack said. He snapped the leash to the ring. "You are so sexy like this."

While Jack and Sally were admiring the new accessories, Anne knocked on the door. When she announced herself, Jack invited her in. Anne smiled when she saw Jack holding the leash attached to the leather collar.

"We're almost ready to leave. Are you going to bring Sally down so she can say goodbye?" Anne asked Jack.

"Yes, we'll be down as soon as Sally is dressed."

Anne nodded and left the room. Jack disconnected the leash from the leather collar, but left the collar in place. Sally put on a pair of shorts and a tee shirt when Jack told her what to wear. Together, they went downstairs to tell their parents goodbye.

Tom and Kim came down a few moments later. Kim spotted the black leather collar around Sally's neck, but didn't say anything. The teens told their parents goodbye. Marge told them there was food in the house or they could order carryout. When the adults were gone, Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally talked about what they wanted to eat.

"Kim, Sally, why don't you guys see what there is to eat," Tom said. "Oh shit, can I say that?"

Jack laughed. "Yes, you can ask Sally to do things just like she can ask you. This doesn't change things much. The real difference is that Sally will do what I tell her to do. She may or may not do what you ask her."

Tom chuckled. "So she can still tell me to fuck off?"

"Yes."

"The exchange of power is only between you and Sally, right?" Kim said.

Jack chuckled. "That's right. I see you have been reading."

"Yeah, Tom and I are checking things out like you said. To tell you the truth, it isn't anything like I thought. When I thought about it before, I visualized a dungeon full of weird contraptions. You know a rack, whips, and chains."

"There are many facets to the lifestyle. Some people engage in the S and M play. Others only practice dominance and submission. Sally and I don't have a master — slave relationship," Jack said.

"You said you might have to punish Sally. Isn't that a form of sadomasochism?" Tom asked.

"In a way it is. It's kind of a fine line. The infliction of pain for pleasure is a more accurate description of S and M. It refers to people that get off by inflicting pain and people that enjoy receiving pain."

"Sally likes to be spanked. How can you use that to punish her?" Tom said.

"I guess that would depend on how hard she was spanked," Jack said.

Kim shook her head while Sally stood next to Jack and grinned. Sally didn't care if her brother and Kim knew about her kinks. She was happy with her desires and didn't feel she had to hide them from anyone in the family.

"I guess it would," Tom said. "Let's get something to eat, I'm starved."

Kim and Sally found left over meatloaf in the refrigerator. Sally asked Jack if it would be okay for dinner and he said it was. Tom agreed and the girls began heating it.

After dinner, Jack and Tom cleared the table and rinsed the dishes. Kim and Sally went out to the pool to wait for Jack and Tom. When Tom asked why Jack didn't have Sally take care of the dishes, Jack gave him a look.

"Sally isn't anyone's slave, Tom. Our chores don't change. Please don't keep at this thing. It's between Sally and me," Jack said.

"Sorry, I was just kidding around, Jack."

"I guess I'm a little sensitive about it, Tom. This is something I'm still sorting out. Look at it this way. If Kim asked you do get her a soda, would you do it?"

Tom nodded.

"What if she asked you to rub her back?"

"I'd do it, you know that."

"That's right. The difference between Kim and Sally is Sally doesn't want me to ask her. She wants me to tell her. Sally wants me to tell her what to wear. She wants me to tell her what to do in some areas of our lives. It's what she wants, that's what I'm giving Sally. What she wants."

"When you say it like that it doesn't sound too bad."

"It's only bad if Sally or I think it is, Tom. She made a request. I thought about it for a long time before I agreed. This isn't a game, not to us," Jack said.

"Did you have to make her wear that necklace?" Tom asked.

"When I had it put on her, Sally cried. She couldn't thank me enough. She is proud of who and what she is. The only people that will know what it means are those we tell or have knowledge of the lifestyle. Everyone else will think it's a necklace, not a collar."

"What's the deal with the leather collar?"

Jack chuckled. "That is part of the play. Subs wear collars like that one when they're involved in a scene. I have a matching leash for the leather collar."

"You wouldn't take Sally out in public with that on her, would you?"

"I don't know. If I made her wear the right clothing, everyone would think she was one of those punk chicks."

"That's true. No one would think she was different, would they?"

"You know, if you would stop worrying about what people are going to think about you and let Sally be happy, things would be much better, Tom."

"I'm not worried about what people think about me."

"Yes you are. You're worried that people will think you're weird because of what Sally is doing. Be honest, Tom."

"Well, maybe you're right."

"As I said, it'll be fine if everyone leaves us alone. Remember, this what Sally wants," Jack said.

"I'll try to understand and let my sister live her life the way she wants to. I have to tell you, it isn't going to be easy for me," Tom said

"Thanks, Tom. Sally will appreciate it. I will too."

Jack and Tom finished in the kitchen. They went out to see what their sisters were doing. Kim and Sally were sitting at a table. They were talking, but they stopped when Jack and Tom came toward them.

"What's up?" Tom asked.

"Nothing. Sally and I were talking," Kim said.

Jack looked at Sally and raised his eyebrows.

"I was telling Kim about being a sub. She wanted to know if I really liked it," Sally said,

"Do you?" Jack asked.

"Yes, I like it very much. You are so good to me, Honey," Sally said as she fingered her collars.

"God, Sally! We can't talk about anything anymore. Are you going to tell Jack everything?" Kim said.

"Yes, if he asks I will. I won't keep anything secret from Jack," Sally said.

"Sally, let's go up to our room. I want to get our homework finished so we don't have to worry about it this weekend," Jack said.

"Okay. See you guys later," Sally said as she stood up.

Jack and Sally left for their room. Tom sat at the table next to Kim. They looked at one another and then Kim smiled.

"Sally is happy, Tom—as happy as I've ever seen her. I might not agree with what she's doing, but it isn't my life," Kim said.

"I know. Maybe it's just a phase. Maybe she'll wake up and realize she's making a mistake," Tom said.

"I wouldn't count on it. Don't you remember when she wanted Brad to do the same thing Jack's doing?"

"What are we going to do?" Tom asked.

Kim giggled. "We're not going to do anything, Tom. There isn't anything we can do. Sally has made her decision. Like it or not. I think we should do our homework too. Besides, I want to do some more research. If Sally and Jack are going to live in that kind of relationship, I want to understand it. At least I want to try."

Kim and Tom went up to their room. When Kim passed the doorway to Jack and Sally's room, Kim glanced in. Jack sat at the desk. He was reading his history book. Sally was on the bed, working on a paper. Other than the collars around Sally's neck, things looked as normal as they could be.

When Kim pointed at the room, Tom glanced in. He saw Sally and Jack studying and smiled. Putting his arm around Kim's waist, he led her into their room.

Jack and Sally had been studying for an hour and a half. Jack closed his book and put it away.

"Come here, Sally," Jack said.

Sally jumped off the bed and stood in front of Jack with her arms at her side. He stood up, telling her to turn around. She turned her back to Jack and waited. He removed the leather collar from her neck and placed it on the desk.

"Take off your shirt and shorts, Sweetie."

Smiling, Sally undressed. Jack put his hand on her sides. He kissed the back of her neck while sliding his hands up to her breasts. He took her nipples between his fingers and thumbs, rolling them. Jack kissed Sally's ear and then whispered to her.

"We're going downstairs and sit in the hot tub," Jack said. He turned Sally around and kissed her. "I love you."

Sally leaned her head against Jack's chest and said, "I love you too, Jack."

Stepping back, Sally began to undress Jack. He watched as she lowered his pants, lifting his feet so she could remove them. Jack told her to kiss his penis and Sally did.

"Do you want me to suck it?" Sally asked.

"Not now, you can do it later."

Sally finished removing Jack's clothing. They went to the hallway and started toward the stairs.

"Go tell Tom and Kim we're going to the pool," Jack said to Sally.

Sally went to Tom and Kim's room. She knocked on the door, waiting until Kim told her to come in before opening it.

"Jack and I are going to the pool. He wanted me to tell you," Sally said.

"Thanks, Sally. Tom and I will be down in a minute," Kim said.

Sally bounced down the hall to where Jack was standing. He took her hand, leading her down the stairs and out to the pool. They went to the pool house. Jack turned on the hot tub before they went to shower.

Jack and Sally showered. She washed him and then he washed her. Once they rinsed, Jack felt his testicles. "Sally, my balls need a shave."

Standing with his hands on his hips, Jack watched Sally kneel on the floor. She applied shaving gel, rubbing it into lather. While she was shaving his genitals, Tom and Kim came in.

"Do we have a new barber?" Kim asked as she stood under the spray.

"Does your pussy need a shave?" Jack asked.

Kim rubbed herself and nodded. She felt Tom and said, "So does Tom."

Jack smiled. "When you finish with me, shave Tom and Kim," Jack said to Sally.

Sally finished Jack and then shaved Kim and Tom too. Jack felt Sally's crotch and told her to shave herself too. Smiling, Sally sat on the bench and shaved her vulva. While she carefully trimmed around the one inch of hair on her mons, Jack watched.

When Sally finished shaving herself, she spread her legs so Jack could inspect her. He knelt on the floor and used his tongue to test the smoothness of her skin. Taking the razor from Sally, he scraped off a few hairs she missed.

Sally apologized for missing the hairs. Jack nodded, telling her to be more thorough or risk punishment.

The four teens went to the hot tub and got in. Sally sat next to Jack while Kim and Tom sat across from them. Kim began talking about having their friends over the next day. She reviewed the menu with Sally and discussed what time they would eat. Jack and Tom added their ideas.

After a half hour, they got out of the tub. Sitting around the table, the four teens continued talking about the party. Tom and Kim didn't bring up Sally's decision to be what she wanted to be.

Later that night, when they were in bed, Jack took Sally into his arms. He began kissing her tenderly and stroking her breasts. Sally moaned into Jack's mouth and rubbed his back. Jack made love to Sally. It was slow and loving. She responded to his tenderness, enjoying the intimacy.

Sally had two orgasms before Jack entered her vagina. His movements were steady. Sally hooked her legs around Jack, pulling him into her as deeply as she could. After hovering over Sally for a while, Jack flipped over. Sally rode his erection and Jack thrust up into her. When Jack came, he pulled Sally to his chest. He held her close, his penis still embedded in her sex.

"Should I clean you?" Sally asked in a whisper.

"Not tonight. I don't want you to move."

Sally cooed and kissed Jack's neck. He ran his hands up and down her back for a moment, letting them come to rest on her bottom. They snuggled together and fell asleep.

When Sally woke up the next morning, she felt Jack's morning erection against her leg. She moved down on the bed, rested her head on Jack's stomach, and took his member in her mouth. Jack woke up to the feeling of Sally slowly moving her mouth up and down his penis.

Jack clasped his hands behind his head and watched Sally. When she glanced up, she locked her eye with his. Sally didn't remove her mouth until after Jack ejaculated.

"Good morning, Baby," Sally said as she rubbed his wet member against her cheek.

"Good morning, Sweetie. That was a nice blowjob."

"I'm glad I pleased you. Is there anything else you want?"

"Not right now. I need to piss and then we have to swim."

Sally kissed his penis. She crawled out of bed and stood waiting for Jack to get up. Jack sat up, stretched and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. He went to the bathroom and then told Sally she could go.

Tom and Kim were already in the shower when Jack and Sally came in. They greeted each other while washing. The four of them swam their lap and then rested on the side of the pool.

"Are you and Jack making breakfast?" Kim asked Tom.

"Sure, what would you like?" Tom replied.

"Bacon and French Toast," Kim said.

Jack and Tom agreed to make breakfast. They all showered again and then went to their rooms to get dressed.

"What color tights should I wear today?" Sally asked Jack.

"You're not wearing tights today. Not right now anyway. We have to clean the house so you can wear anything you want," Jack said. "After breakfast I'm going shopping for the food we need."

After breakfast, Kim and Sally started cleaning the dishes and the kitchen. Jack picked up the list of things he and Tom needed to buy. They told the girls goodbye and left.

"Why are we stopping here?" Tom asked when Jack pulled into a strip mall.

"I have to take care of something," Jack replied.

Tom followed Jack into a pet store. Jack had a small brass tag engraved and attached to Sally's leather collar. He also bought a small padlock. Tom asked Jack what was up.

"You'll see later, Tom," Jack replied.

Jack and Tom went to the grocery store. They picked up the items on the list and then headed home. After putting the food away, they helped Kim and Sally with the cleaning.

Finished with their chores, Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally sat around a table in the pool area.

"What time are they coming over?" Tom asked, referring to Brad, Paul, Megan, and Lisa.

"At one. We have an hour and a half before they get here," Kim said.

"Sally, would you get me a soda?" Jack asked.

Sally nodded. She got up and asked Kim and Tom if they would like one. They said they would and Sally went to the kitchen to get the sodas.

"What are you going to wear today?" Kim asked Sally when she returned.

Sally looked at Jack.

"Sally is wearing one of her sundresses," Jack said.

"Are we wearing our bikinis?" Kim said. This time she looked at her brother.

"I haven't decided if Sally will wear her suit today. You can do what you want, Kim," Jack said.

During the exchange, Sally sat quietly. She smiled while Jack spoke for her. Seeing how happy his sister appeared, Tom began to accept her choice. He decided that Sally was going to do what she wanted to, but Tom was also going to make sure she wasn't hurt.

"We better get going," Jack said while looking at Sally.

When Jack stood up, so did the rest of the group. They went upstairs and into their rooms.

"I had a chance to talk with Sally while you and Jack were shopping," Kim said as she undressed.

"She looks happy," Tom replied.

"After reading the information we found, I'm beginning to understand. I don't really think this a phase for Sally. How would we feel if someone tried to tell us how we should live? I know I wouldn't like it," Kim said.

"Neither would I. I'm just worried she's going to end up getting hurt."

"You know damn well Jack would never hurt her, or let her be hurt."

"I know, but she is still my little sister. I worry about her."

"I wouldn't worry. She could end up with a guy like Todd—remember him?" Kim said.

"Yeah, don't remind me," Tom said.

"I know what you mean, those guys, Todd and Frank, were real jerks! Anyway, I read that a submissive person can end up with someone abusive. At least we know Jack won't do anything to really hurt Sally." Kim giggled and then said. "Well, he won't hurt her emotionally. Sally told me she likes to be spanked."

Tom smiled, remembering the few times he had spanked his sister. He also remembered how turned on she became when he did. "Yeah, Sally likes her ass slapped. The harder it is, the better she likes it."

Kim and Tom began getting ready. They changed their clothes, taking time to fool around a little before getting dressed.

"Which sundress do you want me to wear?" Sally asked Jack.

Jack went to the closet and began searching through Sally's clothes. He found a power blue sundress that buttoned up the front.

"Wear this one, Sweetie. Oh, no underwear."

Sally smiled as she took the dress from Jack. She striped off the shorts and tee shirt she was wearing. After putting on the sundress, Sally stood in front of Jack. He unbuttoned the top few buttons. The top of the dress revealed her cleavage, but didn't show too much.

Jack took the leather collar out of his drawer. He held it up, showing Sally the brass tag he had added. When Sally read, "Sally — property of Jack," she giggled. Sally put her arms around Jack's neck and kissed him.

"Thank you so much, Baby. It's perfect! Am I going to wear this today?" Sally said.

"Yes, today is sort of your coming out party." Jack smiled and fastened the collar around Sally's neck. He snapped the small padlock on the hasp and said, "There, how do you like it?"

Sally looked at herself in the mirror. She grinned while adjusting the leather collar so the gold collar showed too. When she turned around, Jack attached the leash to the collar. He pulled Sally closer and gave her a kiss.

"You're ready. Sit on the bed and I'll come get you later," Jack said.

Sally went to the bed and sat on the edge. Jack lifted her dress, peeking at her naked sex. He smiled, gave Sally a kiss, and dropped the dress. "You can get up to use the bathroom, but other than that, stay here."

Smiling, Sally nodded. Jack left the room, closing the door behind him. He went downstairs to wait for the guests to arrive. Tom and Kim came down and Kim asked about Sally.

"Sally is in our room. I'll get her later," Jack said.

A few minutes after one, the doorbell rang. Kim went to answer the door, letting Brad and Paul in.

"Hi, how are you guys today?" Kim said.

"Great, we have a surprise for you," Brad said.

"Really, what?" Kim replied.

Brad opened the door and waved. A moment later, Craig and Cindy came in. "Look who came to see us," Brad said as he put his arm around Craig's waist.

"Hi, Craig, hi, Cindy, it's nice to see you guys again. Come in," Kim told them.

Kim led the four of them to the pool area. Tom and Jack greeted Paul, Brad, Craig and Cindy. After a brief exchange, Kim said, "Where are Megan and Lisa?"

"They'll be here in a few minutes. They were right behind us," Paul said.

"When did you guys get here?" Tom asked Craig.

"Last night. I flew to Ohio. Cindy and I drove up yesterday and stayed with Paul and Brad," Craig said.

"How long are you going to be here?" Jack asked.

"I'm here for good. I graduated in January and decided I couldn't take it at home anymore. Brad asked me to come up and stay at his house. Mr. Phillips is putting me to work at the golf course," Craig said.

"I'm moving here in May, as soon as I graduate. I've got a job at the course too," Cindy said.

"That's great. It's really good to see you two," Kim said.

The doorbell rang again. Kim said, "That must be Megan and Lisa. I'll go get them."

Kim left the pool area to answer the door. Jack excused himself and went to get Sally.

"Are you ready?" Jack asked Sally as he picked up the leash.

"Yes," Sally replied, smiling up at Jack

Sally stood when Jack tugged on the leash. Before leading her to the door, Jack put his hands on Sally's shoulders.

"Sally, are you sure about all this? If you want me to take the leather collar off, I will. Our relationship won't change, but we'll keep it in the family," Jack said.

"I'm yours, Jack. Do what you want with me," Sally replied.

Jack removed his hands. Holding the leash, he led Sally to the door. Jack opened the door and Sally followed him into the hallway. The closer to the pool area he got, the more excited Jack became. Over the past few days, he had come to accept his role, but now he was enjoying it.

Holding his head high, Jack led Sally into the pool area. The rest of the group was standing around talking, but fell silent when they saw Jack leading Sally by the leash. Jack led Sally to the group and stood with Sally at his side.

"Say hi to your friends, Sally," Jack said.

Sally said hello to Brad and Paul. She gave Cindy and Craig hugs, telling them how happy she was to see them. Lisa and Megan came over to say hello. Lisa gave Sally a hug and whispered in her ear. When Sally looked at Megan, a big grin formed on her face.

Megan and Sally hugged tightly. They held on to one another for a few moments before finally separating. Jack looked at Megan and then did a double take. Around Megan's neck was a black necklace. When Jack looked closer, he noticed an L charm on it. He looked at Lisa and she winked at him.

Jack had seen the necklace before, but had never paid any attention to it. Now it was clear that Megan was wearing a collar. It wasn't anything he would have questioned, but after learning about the significance of the collar, its meaning was clear.

Sally lifted her head so Megan could see the gold collar she also wore. Lisa smiled at Jack, nodding her approval. Once the initial shock wore off, the group began talking again.

Megan looked at Lisa and asked if she could talk with Sally for a moment.

"Yes, as long as it's okay with Jack," Lisa replied.

Sally turned to Jack. She waited for him to let her know if it would be okay for her to talk with Megan. Jack unsnapped the leash from the leather collar and said, "Go ahead, Sally."

Megan and Sally walked to the other side of the pool to talk. Jack felt a hand on his arm and turned to see Lisa.

"Let's get a soda, Jack," Lisa said.

Jack and Lisa went into the kitchen. Jack took two sodas from the refrigerator, handing one to Lisa. They sat at the kitchen table and began to talk.

"How long has Sally been your sub?" Lisa asked.

"Not long, not officially anyway," Jack said. "How about you and Megan?"

"Since we returned from Florida, Jack."

"I didn't know Megan was submissive."

"Yes you did. You just wouldn't accept it. Megan tried to tell you when we were at the resort. Jack, that's why you lost her. Because you wouldn't give her what she needed. I would and that's why we're together now. If you really love Sally, you won't make the same mistake," Lisa said.

"Did you break up with Tom to be with Megan?"

Lisa shook her head. "Not completely. Tom and I weren't a good fit. I loved him, I still do. Tom and I would have never found a middle ground. I'm strong willed. Tom isn't controlling, but he isn't submissive either." Lisa giggled and said. "I guess you could say he's normal."

"We're not?" Jack said.

"I think so, but there are many that wouldn't."

"How many people know?"

Lisa giggled and said, "Well, until today, no one really knew. Megan and I kept it concealed. Now it seems to be out in the open. I must admit, I wish I had the guts to take Megan out in public with her leash on."

"It was a tough decision for me, Lisa. I wasn't sure how Sally, or anyone else, would take it. After thinking about it, I figured what the hell. Sally chooses the way she wants to live. If she wants to be a submissive, she shouldn't hide it. I gave her a chance to back out and she didn't."

"Is Sally into S and M too?" Lisa asked.

"We haven't explored it. I don't know if we will. I don't mind being dominate, but I'm not into the whole pain scene. Sally wants me to spank her and she's mentioned being tied up."

"Megan likes it when I tie her up. She loves it when I spank her. Do you and Sally have a safe word?"

"Yes we do. We have a safe word, a caution word, and a signal she can use if she can't talk."

"That's good. Megan and I have a safe word, but not the others. I'll have to see that we get a caution word and a signal. It's a great idea."

Lisa and Jack glanced out to the pool. They saw Megan and Sally engaged in an animated conversation.

"I'm glad Sally and Megan are talking. Sally was insecure about Megan and me."

"There was no reason for Sally to worry. Megan isn't going to try to get back with you, Jack. If you don't give Sally what she needs, you'll lose her too. You and Megan would still be together if you would have listened to her."

"Lisa, as far as I'm concerned it's all worked out for the better. I love Sally. I loved Megan, but not as much as I love Sally. I hope you and Megan are happy together. As far as Tom goes, he and Kim are getting along great.'

"That's good. Kim and Tom will make a good couple. They have very similar personalities. I think they will be good for one another," Lisa said.

Jack chuckled and said, "Yeah, Tom seems okay putting up with Kim's shit. She is strong willed."

"Tom is easy going so he should do well with her. He won't let her push her around, but he won't get in her shit either," Lisa said. "One of these days we'll have to get together so our subs can play."

Jack and Lisa giggled. Jack nodded and said, "You'd let Megan fool around?"

"Sure, why not." Lisa smiled and said, "Maybe you and I could play too. It's been a while for me, getting laid that is. If you're up to it, you can take care of all three of us."

"Why don't we tie them up and let them watch us?" Jack said with a chuckle.

"Mmmm, I like that idea. I think we should do it. Megan and I are moving into my parents' old house at the end of the month. Once we do, the four of us will get together."

"You don't think Megan will mind?" Jack said.

"It isn't up to Megan. She'll do what I tell her to do. Jack, so will Sally."

"It sounds like you get off on this," Jack said.

Lisa smiled and said, "I get off on Megan. I love her and want to make her happy, so I do what she wants. Being dominate wasn't completely my choice. It was hers. Now that we have been in the relationship for a while, I find I like my role."

"Like I said, I'm getting used to it. I have learned quite a bit about it by researching the internet. I guess Sally and I will work it out over time. I'll find out what she likes," Jack said.

"Maybe I can give you a few pointers. Some of the things Megan likes," Lisa said and she giggled.

"I could use some. I'm afraid I'm not very creative yet."

"Okay, how about this? I like to tie Megan to the bed. I get her going, and then when she is close to coming, I stop. I'll leave her tied to the bed while I leave the room for a while. Then I come back and do it again. I use my mouth and a dildo to get her hot. Sometimes, I sit on her face and make her lick me. It drives Megan nuts. Before I get her off, I make her beg for it."

"How long to you do that to her?" Jack asked while imagining Sally tied to the bed.

"It depends on how much time we have. We've done it for five or six hours. One night, I kept Megan tied up while I slept next to her. That time I restrained her for over twelve hours. The only time I let her up was to use the bathroom. I've been thinking of getting a bed pan for Megan."

"Megan doesn't complain?"

"Megan has a safe word. If she wants me to stop, she knows how to do it. When I start playing, I do it until I want to stop," Lisa said with a grin. "We should go out and see what our little minxes are up to."

Jack and Lisa walked out to the pool. Sally saw Jack and came over to him with Megan right behind her. The two girls stood facing Jack and Lisa and smiled.

"Are you two behaving?" Lisa asked.

"Yes. Sally and I had a very nice talk," Megan said. "Thank you for letting us."

"Thank you, Baby," Sally said to Jack.

Lisa moved closer to Sally. She inspected the gold collar and then smiled. "She can't remove it, can she?" Lisa asked.

Jack shook his head. "No, I had it made so it would have to be cut off. I wanted something Sally could wear all the time. I was going to get her one like Megan's wearing, but she would have to take it off to swim and shower."

"Show Jack the chain you wear all the time, Megan," Lisa said.

Megan lifted her right leg while supporting herself with her hand on Lisa's shoulder. With her leg up, Jack could see Megan was naked under her short skirt. Megan pointed at the gold chain around her ankle. The thin chain had a small charm with Lisa's initials.

"Megan wears the ankle bracelet all the time," Lisa said. "Okay, you can put your leg down, Hun."

Jack chuckled and said, "I see you don't let her wear panties."

"Not when we're out." Lisa grinned. "I like having easy access to her pussy."

"Sally, show Lisa your pussy," Jack said.

Sally lifted her skirt, showing Lisa she was sans panties too. Sally stood with her skirt pulled up until Jack told her to put it down.

"Lisa and I talked about getting together after she and Megan move into their house. We're going to have a party with just the four of us," Jack said.

Lisa and Megan grinned. Jack could tell Sally wanted to know the details, but he decided to let her wonder.

Kim came over and said, "Can Megan and Sally join Cindy and me? We're talking about what's happened since we were at the resort."

"Sally can go," Jack said.

Lisa told Megan she could join the other girls too.

"That was cool; Kim asked if Sally could talk with her and Cindy," Lisa said.

"It seems my sister is beginning to accept Sally's and my relationship."

Lisa nodded. "I'm going to gossip with the girls. We'll chat later, Jack." Lisa put her hand on Jack's arm. "Take good care of Sally. That girl will do whatever you want her to. She needs you."

"I'm beginning to realize that, Lisa. Thanks for talking with me. I'm not going to make the same mistake twice."

Lisa walked to the table where the other girls were sitting. She pulled up a chair and joined in the conversation. Jack sat down with Brad, Craig, Tom, and Paul.

"Sorry for being rude. Lisa and I had a few things to talk about," Jack said.

"No problem," Craig said. "This is a great house, Jack. Tom and Kim gave Cindy and me a tour."

"We like it. Our parents are up north looking at a new place. My dad wants to sell this house. We have a place in Florida where we're going to live. The new house is going to be our summer home," Jack said.

"Tom has been telling me about the yacht. It sounds great," Craig said.

"We're looking forward to its finish. We can't wait to take it out. It will be used for charters most of the time, at least we hope it will, but we'll have a chance to use it too," Jack said. "How have you been, Craig?"

"Okay now, but the last few months have been bad. My old man hasn't talked to me except to yell. I got tired of the name calling so I decided to leave." Craig put his hand on Brad's arm and smiled. "When I was invited to come up here, I jumped at the chance. Brad's mom and dad don't judge me."

"How long are you going stay at Brad's house?" Tom asked.

"Through the summer for sure. I'm looking forward to working at the golf course. I'm not sure what I'll be doing, but I don't mind hard work," Craig said.

"I'm trying to convince Craig to go to Wayne State so he can stay here instead of moving to Ann Arbor," Brad said.

"UofM is about an hour drive. You could commute," Tom said.

"That's true. I could buy a car and pay for gas with the money I'd save," Craig said. "I could probably find a cheap apartment around here."

"That's crazy! You know you can stay with us," Brad said.

"How are things going between you and Cindy, Paul?" Jack asked.

"Cindy and I are just friends. I don't know what's going to happen between us," Paul said.

"I don't know how you feel about Cindy, Paul, but I do know how she feels about you. We had a nice long talk on the ride up here yesterday. Cindy would like things to be a bit more than just friends," Craig said.

"No kidding! Wow, I didn't think she wanted a relationship," Paul said.

"Cindy told me she has only dated a few guys since getting back from the resort. She also said she hasn't gotten involved with any of the guys she dated," Craig said. "Frankly, I think the girl's horny."

Paul grinned and said, "I know I'm horny."

Sally walked over to the table and stood near Jack. She waited for Jack to acknowledge her before she spoke.

"Jack, the girls are going swimming. Would it be okay if I went too?" Sally asked.

"Sure, go ahead," Jack said.

"They're going to go skinny dipping. Do you want me to put on a suit or may I swim naked?"

"You can swim naked, Sweetie," Jack said. "Come here."

Jack stood up and moved behind Sally. He unlocked her leather collar and removed it from around her neck. Sally gave Jack a kiss and thanked him before returning to the other girls.

Kim, Sally, Cindy, Megan, and Lisa went into the pool house. They all striped before going into the large shower room.

"This is great!" Cindy said as she stood under one of the many showerheads. "I haven't been naked with other people since the resort."

Cindy went over to Sally and began washing her back. "Remember the fun we had at the resort?" Cindy asked Sally.

Sally nodded and said, "It was fun. I'd like to fool around, but I can't unless Jack says I can."

"Okay. I can still wash your back, can't I?" Cindy said.

Giggling, Sally told Cindy it would be okay. The girls giggled and horsed around in the shower.

They left the shower room and went out to the pool. The five girls stood at the edge of the pool holding hands. Kim counted to three and they all jumped in feet first. They swam to the shallow end and began splashing one another.

Paul watched Cindy's breasts jiggle and bounce as she jumped around in the shallow end of the pool. He stood up and said, "I'm going to join the girls."

Tom also stood up, followed by the rest of the guys. They went to the pool house to shower and then go swimming. In the shower room, Craig and Brad took turns washing one another. Tom noticed them and chuckled.

"Not something you could do in Texas, Craig?" Tom said.

"Shit, I used to get beat up for walking into the shower room. I had to wait until the other guys were finished. It made me late for my next class. You have no idea how nice it is to have friends. Friends that aren't homophobic," Craig said.

Tom moved closer to Craig. Chuckling, he reached for Craig's penis and began fondling it. "No, we're not homophobic," Tom said.

"Hey, find your own cock, Craig's is mine," Brad said as he pushed Tom's hand away.

"What's the matter, Brad, don't you want to share?" Tom replied as he grabbed for Craig again.

Craig began to laugh, but suddenly stopped. He glanced at Brad and then at Tom. "You guys are too much."

Tom removed his hand. Brad put his arms around Craig and hugged him. After a moment, Brad pulled his head back so he could look at Craig's face.

"Craig, you're not in Texas anymore. You can be who you are without worrying about getting your ass kicked, or having people calling you names. Not with our group. I just hope you don't mind if we get a little crazy once in a while," Brad said.

"I guess I know that. All of you treated me well at the resort. I must admit I have been a little apprehensive about coming here. Even though we've talked, Brad, it's different actually being here. I was worried that you didn't really mean the things you said," Craig said.

Brad smiled. He put one hand behind Craig's head and gave him a kiss. The kiss lingered and Craig relaxed. While Brad and Craig embraced, Tom, Jack, Paul finished showering.

"Craig, I meant every thing I said. I'm so happy you're here and we're together," Brad said.

"I'm happy too, Brad," Craig said softly.

The guys went to the pool and jumped in. Tom swam over to Kim, hugging her from behind. Paul stood next to Cindy, waiting to see what she was going to do. She put her arm around Paul's waist, resting her hand on his hip. Cindy pressed her side against Paul's and giggled.

"Paul, if you want to be all shy and shit, that's fine. I would rather have you screw me the first chance we get," Cindy said.

"Um, I didn't know how you felt about me," Paul said.

"I don't really know either, but I do like you. Who knows, we might get together. Right now, I'm horny and need to get laid. I haven't had any cock since the resort," Cindy said.

Paul chuckled and said, "I'm at your service, my dear. When we get home we'll have some fun."

Cindy giggled. She moved in front of Paul and grabbed his penis. After stroking him for a moment, Cindy said, "I'm hoping that we're going to be too tired to do anything by the time we get home."

The teens paired up and began to make out. Jack held Sally, watching the others for a few minutes. While he watched, Jack gently rubbed Sally's bottom. He turned to Sally and gave her a kiss.

"I love you, Sweetie," Jack said.

"I love you too, Hun. I'm oh so happy," Sally told Jack and then she kissed him.

"Why don't we have some fun? Let's start a splashing war," Jack said. "We'll start with Cindy and Paul."

Jack and Sally started laughing. They charged Paul and Cindy, splashing them when they were close enough. A moment later, everyone was splashing and dunking each other. Lisa went after Sally. She wrapped her arms around Sally and pulled her underwater. Jack grabbed Megan and did the same thing.

The teens played for a while. They decided to take a rest and left the pool. Jack dressed and said he was going to get the grill ready to cook the burgers and hotdogs.

Tom helped Jack cook the food while the others set the tables. Kim and Sally placed food from the refrigerator on the counter so Megan and Lisa could take it out to the pool area.

The group sat at the tables and ate while chatting. The girls talked about clothing while Jack and Tom talked about offshore fishing and the yacht.

Chapter 24


After eating, the girls cleaned up while Jack, Tom, and the other guys sat at one of the tables. Craig offered to help the girls. Sally told Craig to relax.

"That was good food," Paul said. "I ate too much."

Cindy was picking up some of the plates from the table. When she heard what Paul said, she giggled. "I hope you saved room for desert. I know I did." Cindy rubbed Paul between his legs. "As soon as I'm finished, I intend to have my desert."

The guys started teasing Paul. Cindy laughed and wiggled her butt as she walked away.

Tom went to the pool house and turned on the stereo. When the girls came out of the kitchen, Tom took Kim in his arms. He began to dance with her while the others watched.

"This would be better if you were naked, Baby," Kim said. "You and Jack haven't undressed again."

Tom chuckled and stopped dancing. He removed his clothes, tossing them toward the doorway to the house. Putting his arms around Kim again, he began to move. "It was a little too cold outside to go naked while we were cooking, Honey."

"I would have kept your cock warm," Kim said with a giggle.

Cindy sat on Paul's lap. She put her arms around him, pressing her breast against the side of his face. Lowering her head, Cindy said, "Kim said we could use her bedroom."

"Hmmm, that sounds interesting. Why don't we take her up on the offer?" Paul said.

Cindy slid off Paul's legs. She took his hand, pulling him to his feet. The two of them left for the upstairs bedroom without saying a word to anyone. When they arrived in Kim and Tom's bedroom, Cindy turned to Paul. She put her arms around his waist, letting her hands grip his butt. Stretching up, Cindy kissed Paul.

"Paul, do you have a problem with a girl that knows what she wants and isn't afraid to say it?" Cindy asked.

"No, why would I?" Paul replied.

"Some guys do. Sometimes a girl that is forward intimidates a guy. I've been beating around the bush for most of my life and I'm tired of it. I want to be able to say what's on my mind, or tell a guy what I want without him getting weird."

Paul chuckled and pulled Cindy closer. "I used to go out with Kim. What she wanted or thought was never a secret. To tell you the truth, I like a girl that isn't afraid to stand up for herself."

Cindy smiled. She reached between her and Paul, gripping his erection. "I like a guy that stands up too."

Paul and Cindy laughed. She gently stroked his penis while looking in his eyes. "Paul, I'm going to give you a blowjob. After you come, you're going to eat my pussy. Then, we're going to screw our brains out. Do you have a problem with that?"

"Nope," Paul said with a big grin.

Cindy pushed Paul toward the bed. He sat on the edge and Cindy knelt on the floor. She stroked his shaft while kissing the head of his penis. Looking up, Cindy said, "Don't hold back, Paul. I promise I'll give you a nice slow blowjob later, but right now, I want to taste you. Oh, don't tell me when you're going to come. I like surprises."

Paul nodded. He put his hands on the sides of Cindy's head and guided her mouth to his member. She took his penis into her mouth, closing her lips around the shaft. While fondling his testicles, Cindy began bobbing her head. Paul tangled his fingers in her short hair and began to thrust into her mouth. When he went too deep, she gagged, but Cindy kept going.

Cindy looked up into Paul's eyes. She could tell he was enjoying what she was doing as much as she did. Paul started groaning as he moved his hips. Cindy knew it wouldn't be long before he came.

Paul threw his head back. He held Cindy's head down as his penis began sending several strong spurts of semen into her mouth. Cindy swallowed rapidly, keeping up with Paul's ejaculation. When his penis stopped throbbing, Cindy held it between her lips. She sucked gently while rolling her tongue around the glans. Paul released her hair and stroked her head.

Cindy removed her mouth from Paul's spent member. When she began standing up, Paul put his hands under her arms to help her. He lay Cindy on the bed and stretched out next to her.

"That was great. Now it's my turn," Paul said.

Paul began kissing Cindy's lips. When he pushed his tongue into her mouth, she moaned. In the past, only one or two of the boys she had oral sex with would kiss her after they came. Even though she was thoroughly enjoying the unselfish act, Cindy had other needs. She pushed Paul down, moaning when he began sucking her nipples and breasts. Paul rubbed her stomach while he suckled her breasts. His hand moved lower, his fingers stroking Cindy's pubic hair.

Cindy's moaning rose when Paul moved his hand between her legs. She sucked in a deep breath as his fingers parted her labia. Paul found her opening and she pushed against him until he penetrated her vagina.

Paul moved between Cindy's splayed legs. He slid his left hand under her bottom while he fingered her with his right hand. When his lips closed around her clit, Cindy let out a yelp. Paul pumped his fingers in and out of Cindy's vagina while he flicked his tongue over her clitoris.

Cindy began thrashing on the bed. Paul removed his fingers from her vagina and put his right hand under her butt. He covered her labia with his open mouth and drilled his tongue into her. Using both hands, Paul gripped her butt cheeks and pulled Cindy's crotch against his mouth.

Cindy's legs flailed and her stomach muscles contracted as she reached her intense orgasm. Her moaning turned into a steady drone, mixed with repeated chants of, "Yes, yes, yes."

Paul sucked her labia, tasting her flowing juices. Cindy ground her vulva against his face. When her legs dropped to the bed, Paul began kissing his way up Cindy's heated body.

Cindy panted. She was trying to catch her breath when Paul kissed her lips. He slipped his tongue into Cindy's mouth while pushing his penis into her convulsing vagina.

"Wait, I have to calm down first," Cindy said.

"You said you were going to give me a blowjob. You did. You said I was going to eat your pussy. I did. You said we were going to fuck our brains out. We are!" Paul said as he began to move.

"Oh God, you are an animal!"

"Nope, just doing what you told me to do. You did mean what you said, didn't you?" Paul asked as he ground against her.

"Yes, I meant every word. Paul—fuck me!"

Paul started moving slowly. Cindy pulled her legs back, holding them with her hands. He lowered his head and took one of her nipples between his teeth. As he nibbled on her nipple, Cindy begged him to do it harder.

Cindy and Paul moved together. He would pick up speed, slamming into Cindy for a few moments. When Cindy started to get close to her climax, Paul slowed down. He pushed into her and paused, letting her calm down for a moment. When her body began to relax, Paul started moving again.

Paul wrapped his arms around Cindy. He flipped over so she was on top. Cindy put her hands on Paul's chest and began riding him. When her climax built again, she didn't stop. Cindy rotated her hips and ground her clitoris against Paul until her orgasm reached its peak. Paul grabbed her butt with both hands, holding her on his penis.

Before he came, Paul brought Cindy to several more orgasms. She was babbling incoherently and kissing Paul's face while his penis spurted into her gripping vagina. Cindy collapsed on Paul. She gasped for breath as she regained her composure.

Paul stroked Cindy's sweat covered back. He kissed her neck, nipping her skin with his teeth.

"Wow! That was more than I expected, Baby. No one has ever fucked me like that before," Cindy said.

Paul lifted his head. Looking down, he smiled at Cindy. "Does that mean you want to do it again?"

"Oh yeah!"

Smiling, Paul rolled Cindy off him. He flipped around and buried his face between her legs. Cindy let out a squeal when Paul began licking her. He used his tongue to part her labia and lap at her vagina. It took Cindy a moment to get used to the idea of a guy going down on her after being screwed. In the past, her boyfriends had all but ignored her when they finished. When Paul moved his hips so his penis was near her, Cindy eagerly took him into her mouth.

After cleaning each other, Paul stretched out next to Cindy. He kissed her tenderly and then smiled.

"I think we're going to get along great, Baby. I know sex isn't anything you can build a relationship on, but it doesn't hurt," Cindy said with a giggle.

Paul began fondling one of Cindy's breasts. He kissed her again and then said, "It isn't about sex, Cindy. I think it's about being willing to give. You told me what you wanted. I hope I gave it to you. Next time, I might tell you what I want and I hope you'll do the same."

Cindy thought for a moment. She smiled and kissed Paul. "You can count on it."

"I guess we should get cleaned up and go downstairs," Paul said.

"I'd rather stay here and cuddle."

"We can do that later if you want to. Maybe you can sleep with me tonight instead of in the guest room."

"That would be nice. Are you sure your parents won't mind?" Cindy asked.

"No, they won't mind at all. Come on, let's get going, Baby."

Cindy nodded. She kissed Paul again, thinking about what her future may hold. They got out of bed and went into the bathroom to shower.

On the way downstairs, Paul and Cindy saw Brad and Craig coming out of Jack's bedroom. The two couples shared a knowing grin and went downstairs.

"Did you get your itch scratched, Cindy?" Kim said.

"Oh boy did I ever!" Cindy replied with a giggle. She hooked her arm through Paul's arm. "Well, at least for now."

"When do you have to go back to Ohio?" Tom asked.

"I was supposed to leave tomorrow afternoon. I might stay until Monday morning though. Paul promised me a cuddle."

"We're going to sit in the hot tub for a while, want to join us?" Lisa asked Paul and Cindy.

"I don't know if I could take it, I'm still a little warm," Cindy replied with a giggle.

The group of teens climbed into the swirling water of the hot tub. Jack pulled Sally onto his lap. She leaned her back against his chest and her head against his shoulder. Jack told Sally to put her legs on the outside of his. She complied, squirming when Jack moved his hand to her mons. Cloaked by the water, Jack rubbed Sally's vulva. She sighed and relaxed.

After twenty minutes, Jack and Sally left the hot tub. They toweled themselves dry and sat at one of the tables. Jack asked if anyone wanted anything. Kim said she wanted a soda and got out too. While Jack and Kim were in the kitchen getting sodas for their friends, the rest of the group climbed out of the hot tub.

"Everyone seems to be having a nice time," Kim said.

"I think they are. It sounds like Paul and Cindy had a great time," Jack said. "Do you think those two will get together?"

"I don't know. Cindy told me she likes Paul, but she wasn't sure that she wanted a relationship. I guess she had some trouble with her boyfriend when she got back from Florida. He turned out to be a jerk. Cindy said she just wants to have fun for a while," Kim said.

"A long distance relationship would be hard," Jack said.

"True, but it would also be safe. It may be a good way for them to get to know each other. Cindy can come up here or Paul can visit her. The time between visits will let them know if it's serious or not."

Jack nodded. He and Kim took the sodas out to the pool. They passed the cans out to the group and sat down at the table. Jack watched Cindy and Paul interact. He noticed how neither of them could take their eyes off the other. Paul and Cindy shared winks and smiles. They sat close enough that their legs touched.

"When are you guys going down to Florida again?" Paul asked.

"We're planning on going down the first of May. Our friends are fishing in a tournament. We're going to fish with them." Jack said. "It's their spring break."

"It's a money tournament. The first prize is something like twenty or thirty thousand dollars," Sally said. "We're staying on the boat with them—in the Bahamas."

"That sounds like fun. Your friends must have a big boat," Craig said.

"It's big enough. There are only two staterooms, but we all get along well so it won't be a problem," Jack said.

"What kind of fish are you going to be fishing for?" Cindy asked.

"Billfish, you know, sailfish and marlin," Sally said. "They are so much fun to catch. We fish for salmon up here. They're a lot of fun too."

"You're really into fishing, aren't you Sally?" Cindy said.

"I'm learning to love it! There is so much to know. Learning about fishing is almost as much fun as doing it," Sally replied. "I think we're all getting into it."

"Can you use the yacht for fishing?" Craig asked.

"We can fish on Tomiko, but it isn't a fishing boat. We won't be able to troll as well as we can on Jenny and Eddie's boat," Tom said.

"How long are you guys planning to stay today?" Kim asked. "I'm not saying you have to go, but if you're going to stay late, we need to think about dinner."

Cindy giggled and said, "If you have an extra bed, we can stay all night."

"We have plenty of beds. You guys are welcome to stay if you want to," Jack said. "We can see what's in the house to eat, go out, or order something."

"Let's order out. We can get ribs from that place we usually order from," Kim said.

The group agreed to order dinners from the restaurant Kim mentioned. Sally went to the kitchen, returning with a menu, a pad of paper, and a pen. As the teens made their selections, Sally wrote down the information.

Sally called in the order. When the food arrived, Jack put on pants to answer the door and pay for the order. The teens ate at the tables in the pool area. They talked about the time they had spent at the resort and the things they had done there.

After dinner, Tom suggested they watch a movie. The group relaxed in the family room and watched the tape Tom put on. Later they decided to go to bed.

"Jack, why don't we take Sally and Megan to bed," Lisa said with a wry grin. "We can have a little fun tonight."

Jack watched Sally and Megan's reaction to what Lisa suggested. Sally looked into his eyes and waited for him to respond. Jack wanted to ask Sally what she thought about the idea, but decided against it. He thought for a moment before telling Sally to get her leather collar. When Sally returned with the collar and leash, she stood in front of Jack with the items resting on her outstretched hands. He took the collar from Sally and secured it around her neck. After attaching the leash, he nodded to Lisa and started up the stairs.

Lisa gave Megan a smack on her bottom. She told Megan to follow Jack and Sally up the stairs. When they reached the hallway, Jack led them to his parents' room. He walked Sally to the bed and told her to kneel on the floor. Smiling, Lisa told Megan to kneel next to Sally.

Jack turned down the bed. He sat on the edge and looked at the two girls kneeling on the floor in front of him. Lisa sat next to Jack and then she whispered in his ear.

"What should we do with these two hotties?" Lisa said.

Shrugging his shoulders, Jack began thinking of the possibilities. The more he thought about it, the more he realized he had no interest in having sex with Megan. The relationship he'd had with Megan was over and Jack had no desire to rekindle it. He wondered how Sally would feel about watching him and Lisa having sex. Jack wondered how he would feel about having sex with Lisa.

"I need my pussy licked," Lisa said, snapping Jack out of his thoughts.

Megan moved between Lisa's legs. She began licking Lisa's sex while Jack, Sally, and Lisa watched her. After a moment, Jack looked at Sally while pointing at his penis. Sally scrambled closer. She took his member in her mouth and began giving Jack a blowjob.

While Megan and Sally were kneeling between Jack and Lisa's legs, Jack put his arm around Lisa's shoulders. He leaned close so he could whisper in her ear. Jack told Lisa what he was thinking. She nodded and pushed Megan away.

"Sally, get on the bed," Jack said.

Sally climbed on the bed. Jack told her to stretch out on her back. Lisa told Megan to straddle Sally's head. Once the two girls were in place, Jack and Lisa told them to give each other oral sex. Megan leaned forward so she could lick Sally. Sally pulled Megan's crotch to her face, pushing her tongue into her opening.

"Lisa and I will be right back," Jack said.

Jack took Lisa into the bathroom so he could talk to her. Once the door closed, Jack turned to Lisa.

"Look, I don't know what's going to happen, but I know what isn't. I have no desire to have sex with Megan. It isn't that I don't like her; I just don't want to have sex. I won't do anything to degrade Sally either. That isn't what our relationship is based on," Jack said.

"That's fine, Jack. How about me? Do you want to fuck me?" Lisa said.

"Truthfully, I don't know. Let's see how things go."

"Okay, but I would love to see Megan eat your come out of my pussy," Lisa said and then she grinned. "That or out of my ass!"

Jack smiled and left the bathroom. Megan and Sally were still fooling around, as they were when Jack and Lisa left. Lisa climbed on the bed and began stroking Megan's back. Jack sat on the other side of the couple. He reached between Megan and Sally so he could fondle Sally's breasts.

Lisa reached for Jack. She began stroking his penis and smiled. Jack watched Lisa's small hand move up and down his shaft. Glancing at Sally and Megan, he noticed they had stopped what they were doing to watch.

Lisa leaned over so she could get her mouth on Jack's penis. Jack felt her warm mouth and let out a soft moan. As Lisa laved his member, Jack watched Sally. He saw her eyes following Lisa's mouth. When their eyes met, Sally smiled at Jack. Jack smiled back and pulled Lisa off his penis.

Looking up at Jack, Lisa furrowed her brow. Jack's smile faded and then he said, "Sally, go to our room. Lisa, I'm sorry, but this isn't going to work." He got off the bed and left the room.

Jack walked into his room. He moved over to where Sally stood with her hands at her side. Holding her face between his hands, he kissed Sally. Jack moved his hands to the leather collar and removed it from her neck.

Sally didn't say a word as Jack picked her up and carried her to the bed. He placed Sally on the mattress, stretching out next to her. Jack began kissing her with a passion he seldom exhibited. His hands moved over her while his tongue explored her mouth. After a few moments, Jack broke the kiss. He propped his head on his hand and gazed into Sally's eyes.

"I love you, Baby," Jack said while brushing a few strands of hair from her forehead.

"Did I do something that displeased you?" Sally asked.

"No. I just couldn't do it. I have no interest in Lisa or Megan. They have their lives; we have ours."

"I thought you wanted to have sex with them. You know I wouldn't have said anything—don't you?"

"Yes, I know you wouldn't. I also know you would do anything I told you to do. That isn't the point. I can't, or should I say I won't do things that I'm not comfortable with. Having sex with Lisa or Megan are things I don't want to do. I didn't really enjoy watching you with Megan."

Sally reached up to stroke the side of Jack's head. She traced his ear and his jaw line.

"Does that mean you don't want to fool around with other people?" Sally asked.

Jack smiled as he shook his head. "No, I just didn't feel comfortable with them. When we're with Tom and Kim, I am. How do you feel about it?"

"I'll do what you want me to do, Jack," Sally said.

"I know, but that's not what I asked. Sally, you have a mind of your own. I know what you want me to do—and I will. That doesn't mean you don't have any say in things. Having you do things that you don't enjoy isn't what I want. I'll learn, but only if you tell me how you feel."

"May I speak freely?" Sally asked.

Jack fought the urge to laugh. He smiled and nodded his head.

"When you told me to go into the room with Megan and Lisa I was willing to go, but I can't say I was looking forward to it. I like them, both of them. It's just that I worry you still have feelings for Megan. I didn't know what I was going to do if you and Megan started having sex."

"You don't have to worry about that. When Lisa and I left you and Megan, I told her I didn't want to have sex with Megan. Lisa asked if I wanted to fuck her and I told her I didn't know."

Sally pulled Jack down so she could kiss him. When she released his head, Sally said, "I would have done anything—you know that don't you?"

"You said that. You keep saying it. I understand, but as I said, it has to be good for BOTH of us. I'm not saying I'm not going to tell you to do things with other people. I'm saying I want it to be with someone I will enjoy watching you with and that I will enjoy being with."

"Like Brad and Jenny?" Sally asked with a grin.

"Now, there are two people I could have fun with. Eddie and Kathy too. I don't know if they're into it, but I think we'll find out when we see them again."

Jack lowered his head and began kissing Sally. He gently stroked her stomach, moving his hand to her breast. Jack made love with Sally slowly and with great passion. When they finished, he held her and wondered who was really controlling whom.

-------

Jack woke Sally the next morning. He kissed her until her eyes fluttered open and she smiled. Once she was awake, Jack took Sally into the bathroom. They showered together, sharing soft kisses and gently caresses. When they finished, Jack told Sally to put on a sundress. Jack pulled on a pair of slacks and a tee shirt. They went downstairs to get coffee and begin another day.

Megan and Lisa sat at the table drinking coffee. Jack joined the two girls while Sally got coffee for her and Jack.

"No hard feelings, okay," Jack said to Lisa.

"None, I understand. Jack, Sally is a very lucky girl," Lisa said while Megan nodded in agreement. "I wasn't sure if it would work, but I was willing to try."

Sally came to the table. She gave Jack his coffee and stood at his side until he motioned for her to sit down. Jack had composed speech to explain why he took Sally out of the room, but decided it wasn't necessary to tell Lisa or Megan why he did what he did.

Paul and Cindy came into the kitchen. Paul smiled at the others while Cindy giggled and walked bowlegged.

"Have a good time last night?" Lisa said as Cindy sat down.

"Oh yeah!" Cindy said as she looked up at Paul. "I'd forgotten how great getting laid can be."

Paul blushed while the others laughed. He asked Cindy if she wanted coffee and went to get some when she nodded.

Tom, Kim, Brad, and Craig came downstairs and joined their friends. Jack suggested a morning swim. Everyone agreed and headed out to the pool.

The teens spent the day lounging around the pool. They swam, used the hot tub and talked. Lisa and Megan left before lunch, telling the rest they had things planned for the day.

"I hope Lisa isn't too upset she didn't get to do what she wanted last night," Sally said to Jack.

"I had a chance to talk to her. Lisa understands." Jack chuckled and said, "She wasn't happy, but she's okay with things. I let her know we wanted to be friends with her and Megan, but not anything else."

Jack led Sally to the table Cindy and Paul sat together. They sat down with them.

"Are you going to stay tonight or go home, Cindy?" Sally asked.

"I'm staying until morning. I want to spend more time with Paul before I go," Cindy replied.

"So, are you two a couple now?" Jack said.

"We were coupled last night." Paul chuckled and so did Cindy. "We're going to see how things go for now. Cindy and I have decided to take things slow and see where they go."

"I hope things work out the way you want them to," Sally said.

"Things will be fine between us. Even if we don't hook up, Paul will always be a good fuck buddy. I can live with that," Cindy said with a giggle. Cindy pointed at Craig and Brad. "It looks like those two are going to hook up."

"It looks like they already have. I'm happy for Brad. I've always liked him," Sally said. Sally looked at Jack. "If Jack says its okay, maybe you guys can come down to Florida for a visit."

"We'd love to have all of you come down to visit," Jack said. "We'll take you out on Tomiko."

"That would be cool. I've never been on a big boat," Cindy said.

Sally and Jack told Cindy about the yacht. She kept repeating herself, saying how much she would like to be able to go out on it someday. Paul and Cindy decided to take a swim, leaving Jack and Sally alone.

"You didn't have to ask my permission to invite Paul and Cindy to go out on OUR yacht," Jack said.

Sally grinned and said, "I know."

Jack smiled and nodded. He was becoming used to the way Sally depended on him. They shared big grins before getting up and joining the others in the pool.

Paul, Cindy, Brad, and Craig left just after three in the afternoon. Jack and Tom began cleaning up around the pool while Kim and Sally cleaned the kitchen.

-------

Don and Marge met Marc and Anne for breakfast on Sunday morning. The motel they stayed at was small so each couple got their own room. They met the realtor the day before and visited the property Don and Marc wanted to see.

"Well, what do you think about the property?" Don asked as he perused the menu.

"I think it has possibilities, but it wasn't what I expected," Marge said. "That place needs a lot of work."

The lakefront property they inspected was a great location, but the buildings were in disrepair. Don and Marc found many flaws that would require a major overhaul.

"Frankly, I don't see why we need another house. We have the home in Florida and the one we live in now. With the kids wanting to go to school in Florida, fish, and work on the yacht, how will we find time to use it?" Anne said.

"I agree with Anne. If we bought that place and fixed it up, I would feel obligated to vacation there. I would like to travel and see other places rather than being tied down to one place," Marge said.

Don and Marc nodded. "That's the same thing Marc and I were thinking. We wanted to know how you two felt about it. So, we all agree that we're not going to continue looking for vacation property at this point," Don said.

Everyone nodded and said they agreed. Marc chuckled and said, "What the hell, our kids own a yacht. There are places I would like to see that we could get to by water. I've always wanted to see Maine."

As they ate, the four adults talked about their upcoming trip to Florida. Don and Marc told their wives they planned to sign up for the planes. The conversation changed to the new housing project. Don told the women how it was progressing.

After breakfast, the two couples returned to the motel. Don called the realtor, thanking him for showing the property. He informed the man they we going to pass on the opportunity. Next, Don called the pilot to tell him they would be ready to leave in an hour. The group packed their bags and headed for the airport.

During the short flight home, Don and Marc talked about the housing development. Marge and Anne listened, asking a few questions. Don drove from the airport to the house and they all went inside.

Jack, Sally, Tom, and Kim sat in the family room watching television. They greeted their parents, asking about the trip. Don informed the teens of their decision not to buy the northern property. They listened to their children talk about the party. Once everyone had exchanged their news, Don glanced at Marge and Anne.

"Let's get comfortable. I think it's time we had a talk," Don said.

The four parents went upstairs to change. When they returned to the family room, Jack noticed his mom and aunt wore black velvet chokers around their necks. Sally also noticed and she smiled.

Marge, Anne, and Marc sat on one of the couches. Don asked Kim and Tom to get off the floor and sit on a couch too. Once everyone settled, Don sat in his recliner. He glanced at his family and nodded.

"We are very proud of you kids," Don said. "I'm glad you have decided to continue with school. We are also very proud of the way you have accepted the responsibility for Tomiko. It's hard for me to think of you as children anymore.

"Many years ago, when you were all babies, we had plans for our future. We never thought about being wealthy or being able to do the things we're doing now. As you know, we've always been a very close family—as we are now. We aren't what you would call mainstream.

"From the time we were young, not much older than you kids are now, we planned our future. Most people would have thought we were cultists, or strange at the very least. We never held much stock in what other people thought about us or how we lived. Our decisions are ours and we all agreed to live by them," Don said. He cleared his throat before going on.

"There is no secret about the relationship the four of us share." Don waved his hand, pointing to Marge, Anne, and Marc. "While we never meant for you kids to find out until you were older, you did. We're not ashamed of what we do or who we are.

"When Kim and Sally were born, we couldn't have been happier. We had two sons and then we were blessed with two daughters. Our families were complete as far as we were concerned.

"The four of you brought us endless hours of pleasure, and you still do. I can't tell you how many hours we spent watching you kids play and grow. For many years, our greatest pleasure was playing with you and watching you play together.

"When the girls turned three, we all sat down and decided that, when the time was right, we would bring you kids into the folds of our lifestyle. A few years later, we decided it would be when Kim and Sally turned sixteen." Don watched the expressions on the teens' faces. He smiled at Marge and then winked.

"We planned to have a birthday and coming out party for all of you. While we didn't know if you kids would accept it, our plan was to introduce you to sex. Marge and Anne would introduce Jack and Tom while Marc and I would do the same for Kim and Sally."

Marge shifted nervously. Anne leaned forward so she could see the reactions of the kids. Marc smiled knowingly.

The four adults spent many hours talking about the day they would carry on a tradition they began as teenagers. All of them dreamed of the day that they would share a bed with their children.

Kim's eyes grew as she listened to her dad talk. Many nights she fantasized about making love to her father and it looked like the fantasy would finally become real. Like Kim, Sally enjoyed similar fantasies. What Jack and Tom heard shocked them. They, like many teenage boys, thought about their mother sexually, but never dreamed it would lead to anything. Now Don was telling them and the others that their parents planned to have sex with the kids.

Don waited a few moments before speaking again. He could see the teens were thinking and he wanted to give them a chance to absorb what he said.

"When we get older, we hopefully become wiser. Things change and what seemed like a wonderful idea at the time can turn out to be a bad idea. This is one of those times.

"I realize just how wrong it would be to go through with what we had always thought would be right. The plans we had for you have changed. We won't be having the party we planned for so many years," Don said.

Kim took a deep breath, her disappointment showed in her expression. Sally snuggled closer to Jack and waited for her uncle to continue. Anne furrowed her brow as she stared at her brother.

"Having intergenerational sex between us will serve no useful purpose. We are your parents and as such, we have to be responsible in our roles. If we allowed our plans to come to fruition, it would destroy the parent child relationship.

"The four of you have developed relationships between you and you all seem to be fine with them. Sally has selected Jack as her protector and he seemingly has accepted her as his own. Kim, you and Tom are a good fit at this point of your lives. You two are able to maintain your individual personalities while sharing your love for each other.

"All of these things are good. As they should be. As you get older, you will change just as we have. You will learn new lessons of life and hopefully you'll use then to shape yourselves into adults. We haven't interfered with you as you've made your choices and we won't. We will offer advice and guidance, but we will also let you make your own decisions." Don took a deep breath. "Any question?"

The room was silent. Marge, Marc, and Anne knew that Don had made up his mind and nothing would change it. While Anne felt slightly disappointed, Marc and Marge felt relief.

Suddenly Kim jumped up and bolted from the room. Marge began getting up, but Don shook his head. He waited for a moment and then nodded to Jack.

Jack went upstairs. He found Kim lying on her bed crying. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jack rubbed his sister's back. While he waited for Kim to acknowledge him, Jack wondered why his father sent him to talk to Kim and what he would say.

Kim's sobbing subsided. Jack continued to rub her back, waiting for her to say something.

"Why doesn't Dad love me?" Kim said between sobs.

"He loves you, Kim," Jack said.

"No he doesn't. If he loved me, he would want to make love to me."

"Dad didn't say he didn't want to, he said it wasn't a good idea."

Kim rolled over and looked up at Jack. "It's the same thing. Dad doesn't love me and neither do you."

"That's not true. I love you, Kim."

"Sure. That's why we never—never mind."

"What are you talking about? We all love you." Jack paused for a moment. "If Dad didn't love you, he would have sex with you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't."

"You don't! You have Sally and don't want me anymore," Kim said as she wiped her eyes with the back of her hands.

"I love Sally, but I love you too. What's gotten into you?" Jack said.

Kim shrugged her shoulders. "Do you remember the night in the hot tub when we almost did it with Mom and Dad?"

Jack smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I remember. I also remember we had sex while they did."

Kim's frown changed to a thin smile. "That was hot, wasn't it?"

"It was weird, that's for sure."

"Ever since that night I've dreamed about making love with Dad. Now it'll never happen."

"No, it probably won't. That doesn't mean he doesn't love you though. Like Dad said, things change."

Kim sat up, leaning against the headboard of the bed. "Jack, do you still want to make love with me?"

"Are you kidding? Hell yes!"

"Why don't we do it anymore then?"

"I don't know. I guess it's because you love Tom."

Kim grinned. "I do love Tom you know. I didn't think I would fall in love with him like I have, but I did. I love you too though. I miss making love with you."

"I miss it too. We still can if you want to."

"What about Sally?"

Jack chuckled. "What about Tom?"

"You can tell Sally to sleep with Tom and we can sleep together."

"I'm not going to tell Sally to do that. I know she would, but I don't think it would be right. If she and Tom want to have sex that's fine, but I'm not going to tell her to."

Kim moved into Jack's arms. He held her while she calmed down. "I'm sorry. I'm just being a spoiled brat, aren't I?"

Jack didn't answer his sister. He just held her and told her he loved her. Kim looked up and gave Jack a kiss. "We should go back downstairs," Kim said.

When Kim walked into the family room, Don smiled. He stood up, went over to Kim and hugged her. "Still love me?" Don asked.

"Yes, I still love you," Kim replied while blushing.

"Someday you'll understand, Honey."

"I understand now, Dad. I know you would never do anything to hurt me or any of us." Kim giggled and decided to take a jab at her dad. "Besides, I have Tom and Jack if I want to get laid."

Don fought the urge to laugh. He looked into Kim's eyes and said, "Yup, and any other boy that has eyes."

Kim laughed and hugged Don again. They separated, taking their seats. Don told his children he and Marc decided to get in the group with the planes. The two families ate dinner and then the teens went for a swim.

Sally stood next to Jack. She hugged his arm, resting her head against him.

"I think you should spend the night with Kim," Sally said. "She needs you."

"How about you?" Jack asked.

"I'll be okay. I can sleep in one of the guest rooms."

"Wouldn't you rather sleep with Tom?" Jack said.

Sally grinned and nodded her head. "You don't have to, but you can if you want to," Jack said and then he kissed Sally. "I love you."

"I know. I also know you love Kim. Someday we'll all have to sleep together again. I like doing that." Sally smiled. "Did you see what our moms are wearing?"

"Yes, I noticed."

Jack kissed Sally and then swam over to Kim. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her back to his chest. When Tom looked at him, Jack winked. Tom nodded and went over to his sister.

"Hey, Cutie, how would you like to spend a night with your big brother?" Jack said as he covered her breasts with his hands.

Kim wiggled against Jack. She turned around, looking up into his eyes. After giving him a quick kiss, Kim said, "Not tonight, Jack. I want to sleep with Tom."

Jack hugged Kim and nodded. He and Kim swam over to where Tom and Sally stood. Jack put his arms around Sally and said, "I'm getting tired. Let's go to bed."

Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally went to shower. After drying off, they told their parents goodnight and went to their rooms.

-------

"You did the right thing you know," Marge said to Don.

"I think so. Those kids don't need us, not for sex," Don said.

"I think Kim took it hard at first. I'm sure she'll realize it wouldn't work," Anne said.

Don, Marge, Marc and Anne sat in the family room. They talked about what transpired that evening. After talking about it, they all agreed that Don made the right decision.

The four of them went upstairs and into Don and Marge's room. After stripping, they climbed on the bed and began fooling around. As the night wore on, they coupled in every combination they could think of. Sated, they all fell asleep together.

Chapter 25


Eddie, Brad, Jenny and Kathy inspected the new fishing boat. They told Harry and Jack Waters their ideas for an intercom and the fishing cleaning station they wanted incorporated in the tackle and bait-prep station.

Jenny and Kathy went below to see the staterooms. They went into the two larger staterooms, noticing they were almost completed. Kathy made a comment about the beds being large enough for three or four people to share.

"You and my brother are really serious about Molly, aren't you?" Jenny said as she inspected the head in one of the staterooms.

"Yeah, at least I am. I think Eddie is too. You think we're nuts, don't you?" Kathy said.

"Not if it's what you want and if the three of you can handle it. I'm just afraid Molly is going to get too hung up on Eddie—or you."

"I know. I've thought about that. We have to make sure she understands; that's all. If we talk, I think it will be okay. One of the things I'm worried about is the fact Molly is on the rebound. She might be doing this to get over Lenny," Kathy said.

Jenny smiled and nodded.

"Eddie and I plan to go over to her house tonight to meet her mom. Why don't you and Brad come with us? I think it would be better," Kathy said.

After walking through the staterooms, Kathy and Jenny went up to find their brothers. Eddie and Brad stood in the cockpit listening to Jeri tell them about the controls. The boat was equipped for operation from the cockpit. A flat screen monitor allowed the operator a view forward from two cameras. Using a joystick the boat could be steered. There were also controls for the transmission, throttles, and the bow-thruster.

"We plan to put her in a slip this week and start the sea trials a week from tomorrow," Harry said. "She'll be ready for delivery by the end of the month."

"When is the owner coming to see her, Dad?" Eddie asked.

"Soon. I talked with him the other day. He said he wants you kids to make sure it's equipped for fishing," Harry said.

"Do you know what kind of fishing they plan to do?" Jenny said.

"From what the owner said, he wants to be able to fish for almost anything. I would rig her for bill fish, dolphin, wahoo, swordfish, and whatever else you think would be good," Harry said.

"How much money do we have to work with?" Brad asked. "Is there a budget?"

"He didn't mention one. The only thing he said was that everything must be top of the line. He doesn't want to buy things twice," Harry said. "Based on what he told me, he wants the boat ready to fish when he takes delivery."

"Right down to dishes, pots, and pans. The owner doesn't have time to go shopping so he's paying us to do it for him. Kids, we need this to be right. The owner has agreed to let us show the boat at the boat show in Miami. Who knows, we may get an order or two," Jack Waters said.

"April is taking care of the linens and things like that. She'll also buy the dishes and other kitchen utensils. I will make sure we have the safety equipment," Jeri said.

While they talked, Kathy took notes. The four teens began talking about which rods and reels they should pick for the new fishing boat.

"The fighting chair will be here next week," Jack said.

"Wait a minute. Did you say the sea trials are a week from tomorrow?" Jenny said. When her dad nodded, she said, "We don't have school that day. It is an in service day."

Harry chuckled and said, "I know. That's why we scheduled it for that day. I figured you kids would like to be on her when we shake her down. Jeri will be here to captain."

"How much harder is a boat this size to operate than ours is?" Jenny asked.

"It isn't that much harder. In many respects, it's easier. The bow thruster makes docking and course adjustments easy. The autopilot works with the chart plotter and the radar. The boat will steer around object in front of her," Jeri said.

"You can't just let the boat drive itself though, can you?" Kathy said.

"Absolutely not! Someone has to be at the helm at all times," Jeri said.

"What safety equipment are you putting on her?" Brad asked.

"We have thirty PFDs and two twelve man lifeboats. We're also going to carry an eighteen-foot Zodiac tender with a hundred fifteen horsepower outboard. The davits are being installed this week," Harry said.

The group went up to the enclosed flying bridge. Jeri went over the electronics, telling the teens about the monitors installed on the tower as well as in the cockpit. "This is going to be one hell of a battlewagon," Jeri said, using the term offshore anglers used to describe large, powerful, convertible boats.

"Have you calculated the range and speed yet, Dad?" Eddie asked.

"We have a pretty good idea. I believe she'll go about four hundred fifty nautical miles at cruise speed. About twenty two hundred RPMs. That should equate to about thirty knots. If you run her at eleven hundred RPMs, she'll range about seven hundred nautical miles and run about twelve knots," Harry said. "We won't really know until we test her."

The group moved into the spacious salon. "Joanne selected the settees. Both of them will fold out into beds," Jack Waters said.

Moving to the galley, Jenny and Kathy looked at the appliances. The four-burner cook-top and the doors of the Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer matched. There was a built in dishwasher below the double sink. All of the counter tops were light gray Corian. The galley made good use of the space. The aft counter of the galley would provide seating for six on stools. The dinette across from the portside galley would sit eight.

"I have to admit that you kids have done a great job with the design. This is truly a luxury convertible. The owner will be pleased," Harry said.

"Has the owner been down to see it yet?" Kathy asked.

"No, but we have been sending pictures and videos. He says it looks very good," Harry replied.

"When will it be ready for delivery?" Brad asked.

"We plan to have her ready for delivery by the second week of April," Harry said.

"That's just before spring break. I hope the owner takes delivery before we have to leave for the Bahamas. I want to be there," Eddie said. Jenny, Brad, and Kathy agreed.

"It should be a few days before you have to leave," Harry said. "We can accomplish quite a bit in four weeks. Tomiko will be ready for delivery by the end of May."

"We're going to have to give the workers a break before we begin the next project," Jack said.

"Yes we will. They have been working twelve hours a day, six days a week for weeks now. I think I'll give everyone a bonus too," Harry said.

While they talked, Jenny's cell phone rang. She glanced at the display, giggled and said, "It's Sally." Jenny answered the call and began to chat.

Jenny told Sally she and the others were looking forward to seeing them. They talked about the upcoming tournament, confirming the dates. After talking for a half hour, Jenny hung up.

"That was Sally. She said they were still planning to come down and fish with us. I guess they're coming down a week before we have to leave because her dad has business to take care of. She said they're anxious to see all of us," Jenny said.

"Mr. Graham will be signing the final papers for Tomiko. We have to have the documentation filed before they can take delivery of the yacht," Harry said.

The group finished touring the boat. Kathy took Eddie's arm and said, "We should get going, Sweetie. Molly is waiting for us."

Eddie, Kathy, Brad, and Jenny said goodbye and left. Eddie drove to Molly's house, following the directions Kathy read to him. When he found the address, Eddie parked in the road. They looked at the small house, got out and walked toward the front door.

"Are you sure it's okay for us to be here?" Jenny said. "Brad and I could take off and pick you guys up later."

"Molly said it was fine," Kathy said as she rang the doorbell.

Molly opened the front door and giggled when she saw her friends. She invited them in and showed them to the living room.

"Mom, this is Eddie, Kathy, Brad, and Jenny. They're the kids I told you about," Molly said.

Eddie went over to where Molly's mom was sitting. She stood up and he offered his hand. "I'm pleased to meet you, Mrs. Durham."

The woman smiled, shook Eddie's hand and then said, "I'm pleased to meet you too, Eddie. Molly told me about the fishing trip."

The rest of the teens shook hands with Molly's mom. The mood was a little uneasy for a moment, but when Molly put her arm around Kathy and Eddie, it lightened things up. Mrs. Durham looked at her daughter and furrowed her brow.

"Dinner is ready," Mrs. Durham said. "Let's eat and get to know one another."

The teens followed Molly's mom into the kitchen. They sat at the table while Mrs. Durham placed the food out. After passing the food and filling their plates, the group began to eat. Everyone remained silent for a few minutes. Mrs. Durham glanced at the teens while she ate.

"Molly tell me you have a very nice boat," Mrs. Durham.

"Yes, Ma'am. It's our family's boat," Eddie said.

"I also understand Molly spent the night with you."

"Yes, there were seven of us on the boat Saturday night. We stay on it when we want to fish early in the morning," Eddie said.

"You must have a lot of beds on the boat," Mrs. Durham said.

"Not really. We have two staterooms and the settee folds out. We make do though." Eddie kept a straight face and said, "Molly slept with Kathy and me in one of the staterooms."

Mrs. Durham softened and began to smile. "So, what Molly said is true?"

"If she said the three of us slept in the same bed, yes," Eddie said.

"I assume your parents know about the sleeping arrangements."

"Yes they do," Eddie said, feeling she was testing him.

Molly's mother chuckled and then said, "I have to tell you, I'm a little surprised. Molly told me about the sleeping arrangements on the boat. She also mentioned skinny-dipping. I didn't think you kids would tell the truth."

"We don't lie, Mrs. Durham. If you ask us a question, we'll tell you the truth. We also don't do anything we're ashamed of," Kathy said.

Mrs. Durham laughed and shook her head. "I heard you wouldn't let Penny tell her mother she was staying here with Molly when, in fact, she was spending the night on the boat."

"Our parents wouldn't have liked it if we allowed Penny to do that," Jenny said. "Eddie and I wouldn't be able to use the boat and that is more important than almost anything."

"I called my brother and asked him about you kids and your families. Ted told me your parents are wonderful people. His fiancée told me the same thing. I understand your cousin Frank is my niece's boyfriend."

"Yes he is," Jenny said.

"It's a small world, isn't it?" Mrs. Durham said.

The teens nodded. Molly grinned at her mom and said, "I told you."

"Yes, you told me. However, you can't blame me for prying. After what happened while you were dating Lenny..." Mrs. Durham said.

"I know, Mom. I was wrong." Molly looked at her new friends. "I used to lie to Mom about where I was going and what I was doing. That's over now. No matter what happens, I realize that telling the truth is better than lying."

Mrs. Durham beamed as she nodded. The group finished eating. Kathy and Eddie offered to help with the dishes, but Molly's mom said she would take care of it. The teen got up from the table and carried their dishes to the sink. Mrs. Durham thanked them and told them to sit in the living room.

Kathy and Eddie sat on either side of Molly. She giggled and wiggled against them.

"Did you tell your mom about us?" Kathy asked.

"Kind of, I told Mom you, Eddie and I were becoming very good friends." Molly looked at Jenny and Brad. "No offence, you're my friends too."

Jenny grinned and said, "We know."

Mrs. Durham came into the room with a platter of cookies. She passed the platter, pausing while the teens took a couple each. Placing the cookies on the coffee table, she sat in a chair.

"What do your parents do?" Molly's mom asked.

"Our dad, Jenny's and mine, own Bowman Boats. Our mom manages a clothing store," Eddie said.

"Our dad works with Eddie's dad. Mom works in a law office," Kathy said.

"Mom takes care of an older woman and her house," Molly said.

Mrs. Durham shot a look at her daughter. She wasn't particularly proud of her job.

"That must be hard. It takes a special person to do that," Eddie said.

Molly's mother smiled. "I've been caring for her for eight years. I like the work," she said. "What are your plans after you graduate from high school?"

"I want to work for my dad. We're helping design a boat and I really like doing it. I plan to take engineering in college," Eddie said.

"My dad said he would teach me how to be a finish carpenter like he is," Brad said.

When Kathy and Jenny didn't say anything, Mrs. Durham asked them the same question.

"I haven't decided what I want to do yet. I figure I have a year or two before I make up my mind," Jenny said. "Mom said I could work at her store if I want to."

"I want to go to school and become an account. I like working with numbers," Kathy said. "How about you, Molly? What do you want to do?"

"I haven't thought about it too much. If I can, I want to go to college," Molly said meekly.

"The cost of college may be out of reach for us. If Molly can get a student loan we may be able to swing it," Mrs. Durham said.

"Right now, we're going to school and fishing. We fish in tournaments when we can. In fact, we have one in the Bahamas next month. We're taking the boat down for five days," Kathy said. She looked at Molly and smiled. "Maybe you could come with us, Molly."

Molly's eyes lit up. She turned to her mom and said, "Can I go, Mom?"

"Our parents will be there too," Eddie said quickly. "When we travel for tournaments, they go with us."

"Just how big is your boat?" Mrs. Durham asked.

"Our parents stay in a hotel," Kathy said. "We stay on the boat. Our friends from Michigan are going to fish with us."

Jenny told Molly's mom about Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim. She also mentioned they were planning to go to school in Florida next term, but didn't say anything about the yacht or the house in West Palm Beach.

"Can I go, Mom?" Molly asked.

"I don't know. Let me think about it," Mrs. Durham said.

"You should come over and meet our parents, Mrs. Durham," Kathy said.

Molly's mom nodded. Molly began pleading to go, but her mom told her she had to think about it.

"Isn't it going to be crowded on the boat with nine people?" Mrs. Durham said.

"Not really. We can manage," Eddie said.

Mrs. Durham visited with the teens for another half hour. When Kathy said they had to get going so they could do their homework, Molly's mom agreed. She said Molly had homework too.

"It was very nice meeting you, Mrs. Durham. Would it be okay if I talk to my parents about having you and Molly over? My dad could cook fish on the grill." Eddie smiled at Molly's mother and added, "You could bring a batch of your cookies."

Mrs. Durham chuckled. She glanced at Molly and said, "He's quite the charmer, isn't he? Yes, Eddie, you can talk to your parents. I would like to meet them—all of your parents."

Eddie, Brad, Kathy, and Jenny said goodbye and headed for the van. Molly followed them out so she could talk without her mom listening. The teens stood on the driveway and chatted.

"I hope Mom didn't put you off," Molly said. "She can be a little weird."

"She didn't, Molly. I don't think she's weird at all. She just cares about you," Eddie said.

"I hope she'll let me go fishing with you. It sounds like a lot of fun," Molly said.

"We hope so too. Don't we Kathy?" Eddie said.

"Yup, we sure do. We'll have our moms talk to her. They can be very persuasive," Kathy said.

Jenny and Brad said goodbye to Molly and headed for the van. Kathy, Eddie, and Molly followed them, walking slowly. Before getting in the van, Eddie gave Molly a brief kiss and a firm hug.

"See you tomorrow," Eddie said.

Molly giggled and nodded. Kathy gave Molly a hug and then she kissed her. The kiss lingered for a moment before the two girls separated.

"See you tomorrow, Sweetie," Kathy said.

"I can't wait," Molly said.

Eddie and Kathy climbed into the front seats of the van. As they pulled away, Kathy waved and Molly waved back.

"They're very nice," Mrs. Durham said when Molly came back into the house.

"I think so. I've never met anyone like them before," Molly said.

"Neither have I. They seem to be different, that's for sure. I was surprised at their honesty."

"So was I, Mom. When Penny said they wouldn't let her tell her mom she was staying with me, I was shocked. The funny thing is we were planning to stay together Saturday night." Molly took a deep breath. "Lenny and Walt were going to come over too."

Smiling, Mrs. Durham said, "I see. Well, I'm glad you and Penny didn't do that. What did Lenny say to you today? Is he upset that you broke up with him?"

"I didn't talk to him today, Mom. I don't care if he is upset. I'm finished with him. I found new friends, friends that aren't jerks."

"Um, I saw you and Eddie. I saw you and Kathy too. What's going on, Molly?"

"I don't know, not yet. Today, Eddie and Kathy said they wanted to be friends with me, close friends."

"As in boyfriend and girlfriend?" Molly's mom asked.

Molly blushed and said, "As in boyfriend and girlfriends, Mom. I know it sounds weird, but they want it to be the three of us."

"Just how is that going to work?"

"We haven't really talked about it. I guess we'll figure it out as we go. Mom, please don't tell me I can't."

"I'm not going to tell you that you can't, Molly. I tried that with Lenny and look what happened."

"Mom, Kathy and Jenny told me they can talk to their moms about anything, even sex. I would like to be able to talk to you too. I know I made a few mistakes. I'll probably make more of them. I don't want to lie and then feel guilty—not anymore."

"I don't want you to be hurt, Honey. I made mistakes when I was your age and I know how things can turn out."

"Mom, that's not going to happen. You know I'm on the pill, if that's what you're talking about."

"It could have. Don't forget about my catching you with Lenny."

"I know. That's why I'm taking birth control, isn't it?"

Mrs. Durham chuckled and nodded her head. "When I saw you and Lenny in bed, I couldn't help thinking about what happened to me. Your father talked me into doing something I wasn't ready for at that time. I love you and I have never regretted having you, but as you know, it's been hard.

"I wasn't able to finish high school. Your father left me and your grandparents didn't want anything to do with me. We don't have much, but I have worked hard for all we have. I don't know what we're going to do when you graduate from high school. You'll be eighteen and your father won't have to pay child support any longer."

"I'll get a job, Mom. I know we'll be okay," Molly said.

Tears welled up in Mrs. Durham's eyes. She moved to the couch, sitting next to her daughter. "Thanks, but I want you to go to school. I don't want you to have clean houses or take care of old people. We'll figure out a way for you to go to college, even if it's community college."

"Mom, there isn't anything wrong with what you do."

"I know, but I wish I had finished school. That's enough of that. Now, tell me about this strange relationship you are getting yourself into."

Molly giggled and then told her mom about how nice Eddie and Kathy were when she was fishing. She also told her about when she came back to the boat after breaking up with Lenny.

"You aren't doing this to get back at him, are you?"

"No, Mom. I don't care enough about Lenny to want to get even. He can do what he wants as long as it doesn't include me. If it wasn't for sex, I don't think he would have gone out with me at all."

Mrs. Durham grinned. "Some boys can be like that, Honey. Are you sure you're not jumping from the frying pan into the fire?"

Molly shrugged her shoulders. "I don't think so. They have a completely different outlook than Lenny does."

"How so?"

Molly thought for a moment. She wanted to be honest, but didn't know how far to go.

"Um, they have sex for fun, Mom."

Molly's mother gasped. Her mouth fell open and then she began to laugh. When she settled down, she put her arm around Molly's shoulders.

"Honey, I don't know if I'm going to be able to handle all of this honesty stuff. You have shocked me so many times since you came home last night. It's a good thing I have a strong heart."

"Mom, they all love each other. Kathy and Eddie told me they weren't going to break up, but they did say they felt they were too young to be too serious. I was too serious about Lenny. I thought he loved me because he said he did. Don't you think someone can be in love with more than one person?"

Mrs. Durham laughed again. "Slow down, you're babbling, Molly. Yes, I guess you can be in love with more than one person."

"Why haven't you gotten married again, Mom? You don't even date," Molly said.

Molly's mother took a deep breath. She thought for a moment and then said, "I guess if you're going to be honest with me, I should be honest with you. I do date, Molly. I just haven't brought any of my dates home."

"Why not? You aren't ashamed of them, are you? Are you ashamed of me?"

"No, I'm not ashamed of you, Honey. I'm not ashamed of the men I've dated either. I just felt it would be better to keep my private life private."

"Are you dating anyone now?"

"Yes, I'm dating."

"When can I meet him?"

"Them. I'm dating two different men, Molly."

"Oh, so you do think you can be in love with more than one person at a time."

"I don't love either of them. We get along and have a good time when we go out, but there isn't anything long-term in our futures. I thought I was in love once and look where it got me."

"You can't live like that, Mom. Just because Dad's a jerk doesn't mean all men are. Do you want to go through life alone?"

"I'm not alone, I have you."

"I know, but I won't always be here. Someday I'd like to meet someone and get married," Molly said.

"I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. For now, things are fine the way they are. Now stop changing the subject."

"Mom, what do you want me to say? I don't know what's going to happen, but I know what I would like. If Eddie, Kathy, and I can be together, that's what I want. We just met and I know we all have to get to know each other better."

"What are you going to do if it doesn't?"

"Move on I guess. That doesn't mean I can't have fun while it lasts does it?"

"Do you mean sex for fun?"

"Not just sex. I had a blast being with them. Jenny and Brad too. I loved fishing and being on the boat. I loved the way no one treated me as if I was stupid or couldn't think for myself. I loved being with a bunch of kids that think about something other than sex."

"Why didn't you break up with Lenny before if that's the way he treated you?"

"I don't know. At first, I thought I loved him, but then I was afraid of not having a boyfriend. Now things are all messed up. Lenny has a big mouth and half the school knows what we did. If anybody asks me out, they'll want sex."

"How about Eddie? Don't you think he'll want sex?"

Molly giggled and blushed. "I hope so, Kathy too. I'm not gay, Mom."

"I didn't say you were. Why do you want to do things with other girls?"

"I don't want to do anything with other girls, just Kathy. She is as sweet as Eddie is. I never had thoughts of other girls before, but I guess a lot of things changed this weekend. I met new friends, I learned about fishing, I quit smoking, and I found out I'm not useless."

Molly and her mother talked until it was time to go to bed. Molly asked her mom to get her up early so she could do her homework.

When Molly met Eddie, Kathy, Jenny, and Brad at school the next morning, she told them about the conversation she had with her mother. She bubbled when she told them how nice it was to be able to talk to her.

Eddie put one arm around Kathy's waist and the other around Molly. They headed toward the building while talking about the night before.

"I talked to my mom last night. She said she would like to meet your mom," Kathy said.

"We should have a barbeque like we talked about last night," Jenny said. "We can have it at my house so we can go swimming."

"Mom said she wants to meet your parents too. I think she might let me go fishing with you if she does. We had a wonderful talk last night. I don't think Mom and I ever talked that long before," Molly said.

"You should come over after school. We all get together to do our homework and go swimming," Brad said.

"Really? Thanks, that would be so cool," Molly replied. "You guys are too good to me."

"Not really, we just want to get in your pants," Kathy said. Everyone laughed at what she said.

"Sorry, I'm wearing a skirt," Molly said.

"True, but you're wearing pants under the skirt," Eddie said.

Molly giggled and then said, "Am I?"

Eddie moved his hand to Molly's butt. He moved it, finding the seam of her panties. "You are."

The five teens went into the building. After agreeing to meet at lunch, they headed for their classes. Molly couldn't stop grinning as she walked into her classroom. She hadn't been as happy in a long time.

The group met in the cafeteria for lunch, sat at a table, and talked about the upcoming tournament while they ate. Erin came over and asked if she could join them.

"How are you guys?" Erin said.

"Great, we're trying to convince my mom to let me go on a fishing tournament during spring break," Molly said.

"That's cool. I haven't been on the boat for a long time. Maybe I'll get to go again when Frank comes down here next time," Erin said.

"How is my cousin doing?" Jenny asked.

"He's fine. I talked to him every night. My dad keeps ragging on me about the phone bill, but I know he's kidding. Frankie calls me as much as I call him."

Jenny giggled and said, "Frankie? When did you start calling him that?"

Erin shrugged her shoulders. "He says I'm the only person that can call him that."

"I'll have to remember not to call him that. I remember what happened at your party, Erin," Brad said.

"What happened?" Molly asked.

Erin told her cousin about how Frank made a few guys that were drinking leave her party.

"Do you guys ever drink?" Molly asked.

"No, not really. We've had a drink with our parents. Never when we're alone. No drinking or drugs," Eddie said.

"Lenny liked drinking. He got me drunk a few times," Molly said.

"You mean you got drunk with him, don't you? I mean, you didn't have to drink, did you?" Kathy said.

"You're right, he didn't make me. He just called me a baby when I told him no," Molly said. "That was stupid, wasn't it?"

"That's in the past, don't worry about it," Eddie said.

After lunch, the teens went to their next classes. On the way, Erin walked with Molly. "You're going to love those guys. They're the greatest," Erin said.

"I think I already do, Erin. Eddie and Kathy for sure," Molly replied.

Erin smiled and said, "I thought I noticed you making goo-goo eyes at Eddie."

"Erin, do you believe in love at first sight?" Molly asked.

Erin thought about her and Frank. She realized that, while it may not have been love at first sight, she knew she loved him shortly after they met. Seeing the big smile on her cousin's face, Erin said, "Yes I do. I knew I loved Frank shortly after we met."

"Do you think I'm nuts for getting involved with Eddie and Kathy so soon after breaking up with Lenny?"

"That's not for me to say. How you feel is all that matters, Molly. As far as you breaking up with Lenny, I think you did the right thing. That guy was nothing but trouble," Erin said. "Have you talked to him yet?"

"No, not yet. Maybe he'll just move on and forget about me."

Erin nodded and said goodbye to Molly. She went into her class while Molly walked to hers.

After school, Jenny, Brad, Eddie, and Kathy met Molly in the parking lot. While they talked about going to Jenny's house to do their homework, Lenny came up to Molly and asked if he could talk to her.

"Okay, for a minute, Lenny," Molly said.

Lenny and Molly moved away from the other kids. He stood with his hands in his pockets and stared at the ground.

"Look, Molly, I'm sorry for the way I acted on the boat," Lenny said.

Molly nodded, but didn't reply.

"I think we should get back together," Lenny said as he looked up.

Molly thought for a moment. "I might think about it, but on one condition."

"Sure, what?"

"No sex until I say so. We can go out to the movies and things like that, but no fooling around."

"What? Why, don't you like fucking?"

"Take it or leave it. If I do go out with you and you try anything, I'll never talk to you again."

"How long before we can have sex again?" Lenny asked.

"I don't know, but it won't be anytime soon. Oh, I still want to hang around with my friends when I want to."

"You're being unreasonable."

"Am I, or is the only reason you want to go out with me is for sex?"

"I like having sex with you."

"That doesn't matter to me. You always want to have sex, Lenny. We didn't do anything else most of the time. Getting screwed in the backseat of your car isn't my idea of a date."

"You never seemed to mind."

"Yes I did. When I told you I didn't want to fuck you acted like a little kid until I gave in."

"I don't know. Maybe I'll wait until you change your mind before we go out again. I don't see any future in dating a baby." Lenny's anger began to show. He clinched his fists and his face started to turn red.

"That's fine, Lenny. I knew you wouldn't want to see me if I didn't want to have sex with you. You can say anything you want about me, but don't forget I can do the same thing. I want to just call it quits and move on."

"Yeah, well I think I'll just tell everyone how easy you are. You're a slut and you know it!"

"No I'm not, Lenny." Molly knew he wanted a fight, but she wasn't going to give him one.

Lenny began fuming. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other as he stared at Molly.

"Goodbye, Lenny. I hope you find someone that will give you what you want, but it isn't going to be me. Not anymore."

"You're never going to find anyone that can make you feel like I can," Lenny said as Molly walked away.

Without turning around, Molly said, "I hope you're right." She stopped to face Lenny. "I never want to feel used again. You told me you loved me and after we had sex, you acted like you owned me. You don't own me! I'm done with you forever!"

Molly turned and scurried to Eddie. He took her in his arms and held her close. Kathy came closer, rubbing Molly's back. "Are you okay?" Kathy asked.

"Yes, I'm great! He is such a jerk!"

Molly told Kathy, Jenny, Brad, and Eddie about what she said to Lenny. When she finished, they laughed. Molly glanced back, noticing Lenny was gone.

"Are you going to come with us?" Jenny asked.

"Yes, as long as it's okay with you guys," Molly said.

"Cool. We have to stop at the boatyard for a couple hours. You can come with us," Eddie said.

They all climbed into the van. Eddie gave Brad the keys so he could sit on the rear bench seat with Molly and Kathy. On the way to the boatyard, they sang along with the radio.

"Hi, Dad, I'd like you to meet Molly. Molly, this is my dad," Eddie said.

"Hello, Molly, nice to meet you. I heard you enjoyed fishing with these guys," Harry said.

"I had a blast, Mr. Shockley," Molly said.

"Where's my dad?" Kathy asked.

"He's on the fishing boat. Your dad is finishing the bright work on the bridge," Harry said. "We're going to launch her in about an hour. Want to hang around?"

"You bet," Eddie said. The others agreed.

"We checked the seals on the underwater lights today. The epoxy is cured now so we can get her into the water," Harry said.

"Why would you want underwater lights?" Molly asked.

"They're used for fishing at night. If you turn on the underwater lights, it draws baitfish. Baitfish draws larger fish—it's the natural food chain," Eddie said.

"What kind of fish do you catch at night?" Molly said.

"There are several species, but swordfish are the fish most people target," Eddie said.

"Dad, can we show Molly Tomiko while we wait?" Jenny said.

"Sure, just don't get in the way. The workers are busy finishing her," Harry said.

Jenny, Kathy, and Molly headed for the covered slip. Brad and Eddie went aboard the fishing boat to see Brad's dad.

"Oh my God, this thing is beautiful," Molly said as Kathy and Jenny led her around the yacht. "It looks like something you'd see in a magazine."

"Can you believe the owners are our age?" Kathy said.

"No I can't."

The three teens toured the main deck. They went below to see the staterooms. While they were in the master stateroom, Molly stood in awe. "This boat is bigger than any house I've ever been in. I can't get over how elegant it is."

"Check this out," Jenny said as she opened the door to the head in the master stateroom.

Molly looked at the head. She giggled and said, "I think this shower would fit four. Is the floor real marble?"

"The shower will fit four. All of the heads have marble floors and counters," Kathy said.

The three girls finished in the yacht. Molly went on about how nice it was. When she mentioned how much it would take to clean the yacht, Jenny and Kathy chuckled.

"They will have a crew to take care of the cleaning. They will also have a chef to do the cooking and a captain to drive it," Jenny said.

The girls left the yacht and went to the fishing boat. Kathy held the ladder so Molly could climb up. Kathy giggled and said, "Cute panties, Molly."

Molly looked down; realizing Kathy was looking up her skirt. Molly giggled and wiggled her butt.

"This is nice too," Molly said once Kathy and Jenny joined her in the cockpit.

Kathy and Jenny showed Molly around the boat. They told her about the things they suggested in the design.

"Why doesn't your dad build you guys a boat like this?" Molly said.

Jenny and Kathy laughed. "A boat like this costs over two million dollars."

"No way!" Molly said.

"That what dad said," Jenny told her.

When they were below, Molly said, "There's a lot of room, isn't there?"

"Yeah, the boat will sleep twenty," Kathy said. "There are five staterooms. Three of the staterooms have fold down berths so they will sleep three per room. Two of the settees fold out and will sleep two each. The crew quarters will sleep three."

"It will sleep more if you put three in the beds in the two VIP staterooms," Jenny said with a giggle.

The girls went up to the enclosed flying bridge. Eddie showed Molly the helm, explaining the electronics and other things.

"Find something to hold onto, we're putting her in the water," Harry said.

The teens went out to the sundeck off the helm. They watched as the boat slid down the ramp and into the water.

"The boat is on a rack. The rack rides a set of rails into the water. When the boat floats, we'll move it out of the way and pull the rack out. By the way, I'm Jack Waters, Brad and Kathy's father.

"Hi, Mr. Waters, I'm Molly."

Molly shook hands with Jack. The boat slid into the water and two men in a small boat began moving it into a slip next to Tomiko. Once they secured the boat, the teens went down to the main deck.

"When are you planning to shop for the fishing tackle?" Harry asked Eddie.

"We're going to the shop tomorrow or the next day," Eddie said.

"I talked to the owner today. He asked me to tell you to wait until I hear from him again. He may call tomorrow," Harry said.

"Is there a problem, Dad?" Eddie said.

"I don't think so. He said he wanted to check a few things before you started."

Eddie told his father they would wait until they heard from him about buying the tackle. The teens went for a walk-through with Harry and Jack. After making a list of the things that needed attended attending to, the teens told their fathers they were going home to do their schoolwork.

Jenny and Kathy showed Molly around the house. They all got sodas from the kitchen and went to the living room to study. The five teens sprawled out on the floor. Each of them worked on their own assignments.

An hour later, Jenny and Eddie's mom came home. She came into the living room and Eddie introduced his mom to Molly. After a brief conversation, Mrs. Shockley said, "I'm going to start dinner. Will you be eating with us tonight, Molly?"

Molly looked at Eddie. He smiled and said, "Yeah, Mom, Molly will have dinner with us."

Molly asked to use the phone so she could check with her mom. Eddie took her to the kitchen and showed her where the telephone was.

"Mom, can we have a barbeque tomorrow night? I'd like to invite Molly's mom over to meet you and Dad. We want Molly to go to the tournament with us," Eddie said. "We should invite Kathy's parents too."

"Sure, as long as your father doesn't mind cooking. Are you planning to have fish?" Mrs. Shockley said.

"Yes, I thought we could grill some of the dolphin we caught last weekend. You could make your pasta salad too," Eddie said.

Eddie's mom chuckled and said, "Okay, anything else?"

"Um, you could ask Kathy's mom to make wild rice," Eddie said.

"You can ask Sarah if you want rice."

"Okay, Sweetie, call your mom. Ask her about tomorrow night and ask if she'll make a batch of chocolate chip cookies," Eddie said.

Molly giggled when Eddie called her sweetie. She flashed a smile and dialed the telephone. Molly talked to her mom for a moment and then asked Eddie what time they should be over.

"Tell your mom six o'clock. We'll eat about seven," Eddie's mom said.

Molly conveyed the information to her mom. She hung up and thanked Eddie's mom for inviting them.

"Your mom is cool," Molly whispered as she and Eddie walked back to the living room.

"Yup, she and Dad are great. Brad and Kathy's parents are great too," Eddie said.

The teens finished their homework. Mrs. Shockley called them for dinner. While they ate, Molly listened to Mr. Shockley talk about the fishing boat.

"We didn't find any leaks after we dropped the boat. I fired up the engines and they purred. Tomorrow, the Coast Guard will be over to do the inspection. It looks like we may have it ready for delivery a week earlier than we thought," Mr. Shockley said.

"Have you called the owner yet?" Jenny asked.

"No, I want to wait until after the inspection. If it doesn't pass, I want time to fix it."

"Do you think the owner will come down for the sea trial?" Eddie said.

"No, I don't think so. I asked him about a captain and he said he hadn't hired one yet," Mr. Shockley said.

"Why wouldn't the owner drive it himself?" Molly asked.

Mr. Shockley smiled. "Most of the people that own boats like that don't know how to, or care to, operate them. They hire a captain and sometimes a crew. Did they show you the crew quarters?"

"Yes. I guess I didn't think about that." Molly giggled. "Duh, what else would the crew quarters be used for?"

Everyone laughed, but told Molly not to worry about it. Everyone had to learn about new things.

"The owner asked where you planned to shop for the tackle," Harry said to the teens.

"We were planning on going to Sid's shop. He carries everything we need, Dad," Eddie said.

"Okay, you can get started. Don't forget, the owner only wants the best. I figured you kids would go to Sid's store. I told the owner that. He said he would call Sid to establish a line of credit."

After dinner, Bran and Eddie cleared the table. Jenny, Kathy, and Molly helped clean up and put the dishes in the dishwasher. The teens went outside and sat on the patio. Jenny ran inside, returning with a notebook. "We should start making a list of the tackle," Jenny said.

"That's a good idea. I'll get one of my catalogs so we can pick out what we want," Eddie said as he stood up.

For the next hour the four teens selected rods, reels, tackle, and the other things required to outfit the boat. When they stopped, Jenny glanced at the two pages of items she wrote down.

"This is going to cost a fortune," Jenny said. "Do you think we went overboard?"

"No, we were told the guy wants the boat equipped for all types of fishing. We picked the same things we have on Lady Guinevere. There are a few more rods and reels but that's because the boat's bigger and he'll be able to run more lines than we can," Eddie said. "You know there are things we missed too."

"I'm sorry if we're boring you, Molly," Kathy said.

"I'm not bored. This is interesting. If I'm going to fish, I need to learn about leaders, terminal tackle and stuff like that," Molly said.

Mrs. Shockley came outside to tell the teens she and Harry were leaving. She told them they were going over to the Waters' to play cards. When Ellen asked if Brad and Kathy wanted a ride, but Eddie said he would take them home when he took Molly.

"Can we go swimming?" Molly asked.

"Sure. I have a suit you can wear if you want one," Jenny said.

Molly giggled and said, "Um, are you going to wear one?"

Brad, Kathy, Jenny, and Eddie laughed. Jenny stood up, pulling her tee shirt over her head. Reaching behind her to unfasten her bra, Jenny said, "Nope!"

The five teens shed their clothes. Jenny ran in the house to get towels before she jumped in the water with the rest of the group. They swam and splashed as they played in the water. With the exception of a few playful hugs, they minimized their contact with one another.

"I think you should ask Molly out on a date," Kathy whispered to Eddie.

"The three of us?" Eddie whispered back.

"No, just you and Molly." Kathy giggled. "I'll take her out next time."

Eddie didn't know what to think at first. He thought about what Kathy said, wondering if she had something in mind. Eddie decided he wanted to talk to Kathy before he said anything to Molly.

The teens climbed out of the pool. Molly watched as the others dried themselves. She couldn't help notice how nonchalant everyone was. Wrapping her towel around her body, Molly tucked the corner between her breasts. When Jenny and Kathy sat on their towels, Molly undid hers and did the same.

After relaxing for a half hour, the teens dressed. They got into the van and Eddie drove Molly home. Kathy and Eddie got out of the van at Molly's house. They each kissed her before telling Molly they would see her at school the next morning.

When Eddie pulled into the driveway at the Waters' house, he told Jenny and Brad he and Kathy would be in shortly.

"What's this about me asking Molly out?" Eddie asked Kathy.

"I think it would be good for Molly, Honey. She is still smarting about what happened with Lenny," Kathy said. She gave Eddie a kiss. "We want to make our girlfriend happy, don't we?"

"Yeah, if you say so. I thought it would be the three of us though."

"It is the three of us, Eddie. I hope it always will be. Like I said, I think it would be good for her. I don't think she and Lenny ever went on a real date—not from what she said. You don't have to if you don't want to, but think about it, okay?"

Eddie nodded. He and Kathy hugged and then they kissed. Eddie moved one of his hands to her breast and she rubbed his crotch.

"Do you want me to fuck Molly?" Eddie asked.

"That's up to you and her. If you two do, I won't be mad at you."

"This seems too weird."

"Why? We talked about it and this is what we want—unless you changed your mine," Kathy said and then she kissed him.

Kathy and Eddie went in. After chatting with their parents, Jenny and Eddie headed home.

"Kathy said I should take Molly out," Eddie said to Jenny.

"Yeah, I know. Kathy told me," Jenny said. "How do you feel about it?"

"I don't know how I feel. I'm kind of worried Kathy has something up her sleeve."

"Kathy loves you, Eddie. She is growing very fond of Molly. She doesn't have any ulterior motives. Kathy thinks it would be good for Molly."

"That's what she said to me."

"Well, believe her! Eddie, Kathy isn't telling you to do anything other than take Molly on a date. Molly needs to feel wanted and you're just the guy to make her feel that way. If you want your little sister's opinion, I'll give it to you."

"Of course I want to know what you think, Jen."

"I think you should take Molly out. I also think you should treat it like any first date. In other words, don't expect anything. Just have fun."

Eddie nodded. "I still have to think about it."

Molly walked into her house, put her book bag on the floor and flopped on the couch next to her mom.

"Did you have a nice time with your friends tonight?" her mom asked.

"Yes, I had a blast." Molly babbled nonstop about visiting the boat yard and what she saw there. "Then we went to Eddie's house and did our homework."

Molly's mom smiled and said, "Did you finish it?"

"Yeah, all of it. We sat in the living room and studied until we finished. After dinner, we sat outside and I watched them select fishing equipment for the boat they're helping with. After that, we went swimming and they brought me home."

"You didn't have your suit with you."

Molly giggled and blushed. "Um, I didn't need a suit, Mom."

Chuckling, Mrs. Durham said, "What else happened?"

"Nothing—can you believe it? We were all naked in the pool and nothing happened."

"Molly, you sound disappointed."

Shrugging her shoulders, she said, "I don't know—I just thought they, Eddie anyway, would want to kiss me or something."

"Didn't he kiss you when he dropped you off?"

Molly nodded.

"I think you have to learn they don't associate being naked with sex. Eddie sounds like he's a gentleman."

"He is."

"Honey, I suggest you stop setting expectations and just go with the flow. It's obvious he, and the others, like you for who you are. Remember when we talked? You said you didn't want to feel like you were being used. Now, when someone treats you like that, you get upset."

"Kind of stupid, isn't it, Mom?"

"No. It may be new to you, but you're not being stupid. Not all boys treat girls like Lenny treated you."

Molly and her mother talked for a little while. They decided to call it a night and went to bed.

The next morning, Molly met Jenny, Kathy, Brad, and Eddie at school. Eddie pulled Molly aside and gave her a quick kiss. "How would you like to go out Friday night? I thought we could catch a movie and something to eat."

"Sure, what time do you guys want to go out?" Molly said.

"I was thinking that just you and I would go out this time," Eddie said.

Molly couldn't help grinning. She hugged Eddie and said, "I'd love to go out with you. Are you sure Kathy won't mind?"

"I'm very sure, Sweetie."

Chapter 26


Eddie, Jenny, Kathy, Brad, and Molly went to Sid's tackle shop the next afternoon. Eddie told Molly it may be boring for her, but she insisted on going with her new friends.

"Hi, kids," Sid said as the group walked into the shop.

"Hi, Sid, nice to see you again," Eddie said. The rest of the teens said hi and Kathy introduced Molly.

"What do you guys need today?" Sid asked. A phone call the day before informed Sid of the shopping trip, but he wasn't supposed to let on he knew.

"We're outfitting a seventy-five footer, Sid. The boat doesn't have a thing on her, yet. We've helped design her and now we have to equip her for fishing," Jenny said.

"Okay, what type of fishing are you rigging her for?" Sid asked.

"Almost anything. The owner wants to do offshore trolling for bills, dolphin, wahoo—you know, everything," Eddie said. "We have a list of some of the things we know the boat will need. We want your help with the things we're missing."

Jenny handed Sid the list. He studied it for a few minutes and then walked to the section with the rods. "How about something like this?" Sid asked as he showed the teens one of the midrange rods.

"The owner said he wants the best, Sid," Brad said.

"What's the difference? They all look the same to me," Molly said as she looked at the rows of rods standing in the racks.

"There are a lot of things that separate the best rods from the others. The way they're made, the quality of the materials, and the workmanship are a few of them. Some manufactures use a lesser grade of stainless in the guides and rollers. They look the same, but the inferior rods will fail in less time than the better ones," Sid explained.

"What do you suggest, Sid?" Kathy said.

Smiling, Sid said, "I recommend going with Shimano. We can put together matched rods and reels. In fact, my Shimano rep is here today. I'll get him so he can explain the system and the advantages of using it."

Sid left the teen. He returned a moment later with a man wearing a shirt with Shimano embroidered over the left breast pocket. "Kids, this is Andy Nester. He's my Shimano sales rep. He came in to show me the newest offerings." Sid chuckled and said, "He came in to take my money too."

Andy shook hands with the teens. Once he completed introducing himself, he led the group to the back of the store. He began showing the teens the new line of rods and reels.

Sid filled out an order form as the teens selected the rods and reels they wanted. Andy assured them he could have the equipment delivered in a few days. Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy thanked Andy for the help. They started talking to Sid about the other tackle they wanted. While they selected the items, Andy offered input.

"Andy fishes for Team Shimano," Sid said.

"Really, I've read about your team," Eddie said.

Andy chuckled and said, "I've read about you guys too. You have done very well in the tournaments you've fished. I also know about your involvement in the youth movement in some of the clubs."

"Thanks, we enjoy our club and getting kids our age involved in the sport," Jenny said.

"Shimano is sponsoring a six day tournament this summer. You kids should fish it. The tournament takes place over three weeks. You'll fish Saturday and Sunday each week and travel between the weekends. The tournament is held in three different ports," Andy said.

"Is it a money tournament?" Brad asked.

"Yes, the first place team will receive one hundred thousand dollars. The first five places pay," Andy said. "Give me your email address and I'll send you the information. It's a pro tournament, but I don't think you'll have any trouble qualifying."

Three hours after they arrived, the teens finished the order. Sid agreed to deliver the equipment to the boatyard the following week. The teens thanked Sid and Andy for the help.

"Are you going to fish in that tournament Andy talked about?" Molly asked as she sat in the front passenger seat. Kathy told her to sit up front with Eddie.

"I don't know. We'll have to talk to our parents. Three weeks is a long tournament," Jenny said. "I'd love to fish it if we can."

The teens went to Eddie and Jenny's house to do their homework. They wanted to finish before the barbeque. While they studied, Molly glanced around the living room. Eddie sat with his back against the couch, his legs stretched out in front of him. Jenny lay on her stomach, her legs bent at the knees. She kicked her feet as she worked on math problems. Kathy sat Indian style. Her short skirt rode high on her thighs, but she did nothing to try to conceal herself. Brad sat in the recliner, his legs hanging over one of the arms.

Grinning, Molly thought about how nice it was to be with the group. While dating Lenny, he consumed most of her free time. Molly knew that if she and Lenny were in the house without parents, he would be all over her. Molly and Lenny had studied together, but seldom finished their work.

Molly began to accept the fact she could be comfortable and not have to worry about her modesty. No one cared if her skirt hiked up, or if her breasts showed when she leaned forward. She also noticed she wasn't unnoticed. Molly saw Eddie looking down her top, but he just smiled and winked. Lenny would have had his hand down her top.

Mrs. Shockley came into the living room. She said hello to the teens and asked how long before they completed their homework. After everyone responded, she said she needed help in the kitchen as soon as they finished.

Molly completed her assignments first. She went to the kitchen and asked what she could do to help. Mrs. Shockley smiled and said, "You can peel potatoes for the potato salad, Molly."

Molly grinned and took a bowl of potatoes to the table. She sat down and began peeling them. Eddie's mom brought a bowl of radishes over, telling Molly she could clean them when she finished the potatoes.

While she worked, Molly watched Mrs. Shockley at the counter. She smiled, feeling as if she fit in.

Kathy came out to help. She sat with Molly and began cleaning the radishes. The two girls talked about school and kids they both knew.

Sarah Waters came into the kitchen. She greeted Mrs. Shockley and then Kathy and Molly. Sarah removed her jacket and rolled up her sleeves. Jenny came in and the woman all worked together.

By six o'clock, everything was ready. Harry and Jack sat on the patio with Brad and Eddie. The grill was set up and ready to light. The women came outside to join the men. A few minutes later, the doorbell rang.

"That's probably my mom," Molly said.

Eddie got up and went to the door with Molly. He greeted Mrs. Durham and took the platter of cookies from her.

"We're outside," Molly said. "Come with me. I'll introduce you to everyone."

Molly introduced her mom to the other parents. She couldn't help grinning as the adults shook hands and exchanged greetings.

"Would you care for a drink, Laura? We're having white wine, but I have almost most anything you'd like," Harry said.

"Wine will be fine, thank you," Mrs. Durham said as she sat at the table with the rest of the parents.

Harry went into the house, returning with a glass of chilled wine for Molly's mother. He sat at the table and smiled. After a moment of uncomfortable silence, Ellen spoke up.

"The kids told me Molly enjoyed fishing with them, Laura," Ellen Shockley said.

"She must have, it's about all she talks about," Laura said.

The teens sat at another table, out of earshot from the parents. Laura sipped her wine and placed the glass on the table.

"I must say, your children are much different than any I've met before. They are very open and honest," Laura said.

Sarah chuckled and said, "Yes, to a fault sometimes. There are times I get way more information than I need."

"I was surprised to learn how much freedom they have. Staying on the boat kind of shocked me. I have never thought about allowing my daughter to spend the night with mixed company," Laura said. Ellen was about to say something, but Laura continued before she had the chance. "After meeting your children, I can understand why you allow them to do it."

"It's all about trust and responsibly. We trust our kids and they have demonstrated they can be responsible," Harry said. "The kids can handle our forty-four foot boat as well as anyone I've met. They can also make good decisions."

Nodding, Laura said, "At first, after what Molly told me about the weekend, I thought they were just a bunch of wild kids. Once I met them, I realized how off base I was. I asked them some very pointed questions and got very honest answers. I hope some of that rubs off on Molly."

"Thank you, Laura, that's a nice complement about the kids," Ellen said.

"Molly told me they wouldn't let one of the girls, Penny, lie about staying at my house when she was really spending the night on the boat with her boyfriend. That takes guts," Laura said.

"It takes more than guts. It takes the ability to think for themselves. We have a few rules; honesty is one of the biggest. We won't tolerate dishonesty. That being said, we try not to put them into a position where they feel they have to lie to us," Ellen said.

"Does that mean you don't care if they have sex or go skinny-dipping?" Laura asked.

"No, we care about the kids and what they do. When Jenny asked me about sex, I told her she had to decide when it was time. I also told her she had to live with her decision. If she wants to have sex, she's going to do it whether I agree or not. I just want her to feel she can talk to me about it—and anything else.

"As far as skinny-dipping, I think a lot of kids their age do that. I know I did when I was a teenager. If we told them they couldn't, they would probably do it anyway. The difference is they would feel guilty about it rather than having fun. It would also put them into a position to lie. It's a lose-lose situation so when they asked, we said it was okay," Ellen said.

"Give me a hand with the grill, Jack," Harry said. He felt the women needed a few minutes to talk without men around.

"I can't remember seeing Molly so happy. She has been bubbly since spending the weekend with your kids," Laura said. "I guess I made some big mistakes before. Molly was dating a boy I didn't care for and I told her how I felt. I think she may have had sex with him to get back at me."

"Have you asked her?" Sarah said.

"No, not really. The other night we talked. It was the first time it was a real conversation rather than me telling her something and her defying me. Molly said she gave in to the pressure Lenny was putting on her, but I blame myself," Laura said.

"You can blame yourself if you want to, but I'd just let it go. You can do nothing to change the past. The future is up to you. We don't know Molly very well, not yet, but she seems like a good kid. While we may not be what other people consider ideal parents, but what we do seems to work for us," Ellen said.

Sarah nodded and gave Laura an abridged version of how she treated Brad and Kathy. She told Sarah that after she changed her ways, the relationship with her kids changed too. Sarah told Laura how she quit trying to control the way Brad and Kathy dressed and relaxed the unreasonable rules she attempted it enforce. "Now my kids are my friends too. I advise rather than rule and it's wonderful," Sarah said.

Laura glanced at Molly. She could see her daughter giggling and having fun with her friends. She thought about her teen years and how hard things were for her. Laura couldn't understand why she felt so comfortable around Ellen and Sarah, but she did. She didn't have many friends and none she felt she could confide in. Now, after knowing the two women for less than an hour, she felt she could tell them anything.

"I'm trying to protect Molly from making the same mistakes I made," Laura said.

"You can't protect someone from free will, Laura. Trust me, I know better than most. You can provide support and love. If you do, Molly will probably make the right decisions," Sarah said.

"You two are giving me a lot to think about. I want Molly to have fun, but I don't want her to end up getting pregnant. She's on the pill, but I still worry about her," Laura said.

"As far as I'm concerned there are only a few reasons a teenage girl gets pregnant. The first is stupidly, not protecting herself. Many people think it's partly the boy's responsibly, but I disagree. Let's face it, horny boys can lack responsibility.

"Another reason is revenge. I think some girls get pregnant to get back at their parents. As stupid as it sounds, I know it goes on. One of the biggest reasons a girl lets a boy knock her up is escape. She feels it's the only way she can get away from a situation she can't handle," Ellen said.

"It was stupidly for me. I was sixteen and I thought I was in love," Laura said.

"Is Molly's father a part of her life?" Ellen asked.

"No, he sends a check once a month and he used to send Molly a birthday card. He hasn't done that in years."

Harry told the women the grill was ready for the fish. The women started to set the table and get the other food out of the kitchen. Kathy, Jenny, and Molly helped. The meal was wonderful and Laura commented on how much she liked the fish. When Kathy said Molly had caught the fish, Laura beamed.

"You have to try these cookies," Eddie said as he passed the platter around. "They're to die for."

Everyone raved about the fresh chocolate chip cookies Molly's mom brought. By the time everyone had their fill, the platter was almost empty. Brad and Eddie began clearing the table. The girls went into the house to rinse the dishes and wash the pots and pans.

"It's nice to see the boys helping with the dishes," Laura said. "Molly said that when she was on the boat, the boys did the same things the girls did."

"Yes, as it should be," Jack said.

Once they finished with the dishes, the teens decided to go swimming. They went to Jenny and Eddie's bedrooms to change into suits.

"You can wear any suit you want to," Jenny said as she opened a dresser drawer. Molly waited to see which suits Jenny and Kathy selected.

When Kathy began putting on a thong bikini, Molly giggled and found a micro suit for her. Molly realized the bedroom doors were open when she heard Eddie.

"Nice rack, Molly," Eddie said as he watched her from his room.

Molly instinctively covered her chest with crossed arms. She giggled, removed her arms and then shook her shoulders. Eddie laughed and went back to getting dressed. Molly's reddened face caused Kathy and Jenny to giggle.

"You'll get used to it, Honey," Kathy said.

Molly smiled and nodded. Kathy gave Molly a hug, pressing her breasts against Molly's chest. After Kathy gave Molly a tender kiss, the two girls finished putting on their suits.

"Do you want me to leave you two alone?" Jenny said with a giggle.

"No, but you could join us," Kathy said.

"Don't tempt me, I might," Jenny shot back.

The three girls laughed. Eddie and Brad came into Jenny's room and watched as the girls goofed around. Once they were ready, the teens went outside. They jumped in the pool and began horsing around.

Molly's mom shook her head and said, "Why do the girls bother with suits. I don't think I've ever seen bikinis that small," Laura said.

"Actually, they usually don't wear suits. I think they're wearing them because you're here," Harry said.

"They shouldn't have to do things they don't normally do because of me," Laura said.

"The kids aren't sure how you'd react. They're being polite," Ellen said.

Laura nodded. She watched her daughter frolicking with the other kids and smiled. It was easy to see how much fun Molly was having. Even when one of the girls' breasts popped out of their top, no one acted as if it was a big deal.

"Do you have anyone special in your life, Laura?" Sarah asked.

"No one special right now. I date two men, but there isn't anything serious going on. I haven't introduced either of them to Molly," Laura replied. "I have been thinking about introducing her to one of the men. The other one, Bill, is just a very good friend. If I were to get serious with one of them, it would be Joel. We've been dating for several years."

"Do you know him from work?" Ellen asked.

Laura took a deep breath. She had hoped her job wouldn't come up, but now that it had, she had to make a decision.

"Well, I guess I know him from work. He is a friend of the son of the woman I take care of. I care for an elderly woman and her house," Laura admitted.

"Is Joel your age?" Sarah asked.

"He's thirty five, a year older than me." Laura was glad no one pressed her about her job. "Joel has never been married. We get along very well and I know he wants to get serious, but I have always hesitated. I didn't want to bring someone into Molly's life."

"Why not? You're entitled to your happiness, Laura," Jack said.

Laura chuckled and then said, "I was trying to protect my daughter's virtue. I felt that if she knew I had a relationship with a man she would rebel. I realize it was a silly thing to do. Molly told me I should date. She also told me she would like to meet Bill and Joel, even though she doesn't know their names."

"How about Bill? Why don't you want to introduce him to Molly?" Sarah asked.

"That wouldn't work. Bill's nice, but I don't what him to meet Molly," Laura said.

Harry smiled and said, "Married?"

Laura's gasp was audible. She could fee her face warm as her embarrassment rose. Not knowing how Harry knew, she simply nodded. Then, for a reason unknown to her, Laura felt compelled to tell the people she'd met a few hours ago her secret. The secret that caused Laura sleepless nights. While it began innocently, the relationship took on its own life.

Not long after moving into her modest house with Molly, Laura met Bill. It was on a night she stopped for a drink at a neighborhood bar. She enjoyed his flirting and charm. After several months, she agreed to go out with him. The dates became frequent and Laura became sexually involved with him. A year later, she found out Bill had a wife and children.

Laura knew she should break off the relationship, but Bill was always able to sway her. He helped Laura when she needed money, never asking for repayment. Sex was good with Bill. He never promised to leave his wife and Laura never asked him to. Over the years, the affair cooled, but she still agreed to see him occasionally.

Harry, Ellen, Sarah, and Jack listened while Laura told them about Bill. She wiped tears from her eyes, wondering why she was able to confess to virtual strangers. By the time she was finished with her story, Laura made a decision. The affair with Bill had to end.

"I can't understand why I feel like I can tell you folks anything," Laura said. "I have never told a sole about Bill."

"Laura, there is very little we haven't heard. If you get to know us better, you'll find we're not judgmental," Jack said.

A smile came over Laura's face. "I would like to get to know you better. I don't have many friends." She used her head to point toward Molly. "Molly is smitten with Eddie you know."

"Yeah, Kathy too," Sarah said.

"You know about that?" Laura said.

"Kathy told us about the relationship that is developing between her, Eddie, and Molly. They'll be fine, Laura," Sarah said.

"Molly asked if she could go to a tournament with your kids. I think I'll let her if it's okay with you," Laura said.

Ellen laughed and nodded her head. "Molly is more than welcome. It's going to be crowded on the boat, but I have a feeling the kids will work things out."

All of the parents laughed. Harry said, "I think I should pick up another airbed for them. We have one, but with nine kids on the boat they may need another one."

By the time the evening ended, Laura had a new outlook on her daughter and herself. She didn't want to leave, but she knew she must. Molly had school the next morning and she had to work. Laura accepted hugs from the other parents and promised to come back.

"Aren't they great, Mom?" Molly said with a giggle as her mom drove home.

"Yes they are, Honey. I had a wonderful time tonight. Molly, you can go with them on the tournament if you want to."

"Thanks, Mom! Did you have a good time talking with their parents?"

"You have no idea! They are very special people, aren't they?"

"I like them. I feel like part of the family when I'm around them. It's kind of funny, I've known them less than a week but it's like I've known them forever," Molly said.

Smiling, Laura nodded. She knew exactly how her daughter felt.

When Molly and her mom arrived at their house, Laura asked her daughter to sit down. She sat next to Molly and took the teenager's hand.

"Molly, I feel it's time I told you about my boyfriend, or should I say boyfriends. I have been dating Joel for a few years and I really like him. He is a friend of Mrs. Caldwell's son. He is very nice and I think you'll like him," Laura said.

"Cool, Mom, I can't wait," Molly said.

"Honey, the other man I see, Bill, is someone you won't meet. I'm going to call things off with him this weekend." Laura sighed and then said, "Bill is married. We've been having an affair for years."

Molly grinned and said, "Oh, like a fuck buddy?" She slapped her hand over her mouth when she realized what she said. "Oops!"

Laura shook her head. If Molly had said something like that earlier that day, she would have been incensed. Instead of being angry, Laura began laughing. She didn't respond to Molly's statement, but she knew she didn't need to.

"Mom, tell me about Joel," Molly said.

"Okay, Joel is a year older than me. He works as an attorney and he's single. Joel wants to make our relationship permanent."

"He's asked you to marry him?" Molly said. Her voice filled with glee.

"Yes, many times. I have always told him I couldn't think about it until you're grown and moved out of the house. Molly, I didn't want to bring him into our family while you were young."

Molly was about to tell her mom she would have accepted the man if it made her happy, but she didn't. Instead, Molly said, "That's cool, Mom. I guess you have your reasons. As long as you're happy, so am I." Molly hugged her mom and began to weep. "Mom, it isn't too late for us."

Laura held her daughter tightly. Molly hadn't asked a question, she made a statement. Laura couldn't agree more—it wasn't too late. They finally decided to go to bed. When Molly went to her room, she left the door open. In the past, Molly was shy and kept her door closed when she was in her room. Now, she wanted to open her life and the door was the first thing that she thought of.

Laura noticed Molly's door was open. She paused to watch Molly pull a long sleep shirt over her head. When she saw her mom, Molly smiled and said, "Goodnight, Mom. I love you."

Nodding, Laura went to her room. She flopped on her bed and cried because she couldn't remember when there was so much sincerity in her daughter's voice.

On Friday afternoon, Molly went home after school. She did her homework and then began to get ready for her date with Eddie. Since he asked her, Molly couldn't think of anything else.

Molly took a long shower. When she shaved her legs, she also shaved her vulva. She never shaved there before and was very careful. She trimmed the red curls on her mons, forming a small triangle. Finished in the shower, Molly dried off and began fixing her hair.

The sound of the blow dryer prevented Molly from hearing her mother come in. Laura went to the bathroom, doing a double take when she saw her naked daughter standing at the counter. Molly saw her mom, giggled and said, "Hi, Mom. I'm getting ready for my date."

Laura couldn't help looking at her daughter's body. Molly's breasts stood proud on her chest. Her waist narrowed and then her hips flared. Her bottom looked firm. Laura realized her little girl was a woman.

Moving behind her daughter, Laura took the hairbrush and blow dryer. Molly stood still while her mom tended to her shoulder length trusses. Her red hair contrasted her tanned skin. Unlike many redheads, Molly's flesh wasn't fair. She tanned instead of burning when in the sun.

"How do you want it done?" Laura asked her daughter. "Are you going to wear it down, in a ponytail, or do you want me to braid it?"

"I want to wear it down, Mom."

Laura used the hairbrush, some gel, and the blow dryer to style Molly's naturally curly hair. When she finished, Molly thanked her mom.

Molly went to her room to dress. Laura went to the kitchen to fix something for dinner. In her room, Molly tried on several outfits. She felt giddy and indecisive. Molly finally settled on a bra and panty before she began going through her limited wardrobe. She put on a skirt and top, went to the kitchen and asked her mom what she thought.

"You look cute, Molly," Laura said.

Molly giggled and went back to her room. She wanted to look sexy, not cute. She changed her outfit. Molly found a sundress she liked and put it on. When she showed her mom, Laura chuckled.

"That looks good too, but I think you should do something about the bra," Molly's mom said. "It doesn't look right with a halter-top dress."

Molly removed the bra, redid the halter of the dress and asked her mom if it looked better.

"Yes, you look very nice." Molly was about to find something else until her mom added, "You look sexy!"

Molly giggled and decided to wear the sundress. She went to her room to put away the clothing on her bed, clothing she tried on but decided against wearing. Laura came to Molly's room. Once again, she was surprised to find the door open.

"You can use my perfume if you'd like to," Laura said.

Molly followed her mom to her room. Laura handed Molly a bottle of expensive perfume Bill bought for her. Molly put a little on her wrist, rubbed her wrists together and smelled the flowery fragrance. Nodding, Molly put a dab behind each of her ears and another dab in her cleavage. Laura smiled and said, "You can keep it if you like it."

When Eddie arrived, Molly let him in the house. He looked at Molly and smiled.

"Wow, you look sexy!" Eddie said.

Laura chuckled from the kitchen. She came out to say hi to Eddie and tell the kids to have a good time. Eddie sat on the couch and visited for a few minutes before he led Molly to the car. Eddie had borrowed his mom's car for his date that night. Laura watched from the front door while Eddie opened the car door for her daughter. She smiled as she thought about the nights Lenny would blow the horn and Molly would charge out of the house.

Molly giggled as Eddie pulled away from the house. She offered Eddie her hand and he held it while driving to the theater. When they arrived, he let Molly select the movie.

Eddie bought popcorn and sodas. He and Molly went into the theater and he asked her where she wanted to sit. Molly picked two seats near the center. She sat next to Eddie and thought about the few times she and Lenny went to a movie.

Lenny would always pick the movie and want to sit in the back of the theater. Molly told him she liked to sit closer to the big screen, but he wasn't interested in what she wanted. Once the move began, Lenny would start pawing her. He wasn't interested in the film.

When the movie started, Eddie put his arm around Molly's shoulders. She leaned close to Eddie. They ate popcorn, taking turns feeding the other, and drank their sodas. Eddie didn't put his hand on her breast or try to get under her dress. They watched the movie.

Molly enjoyed the film and the feeling of Eddie's arm around her. He stroked her upper arm, but nothing more. When the movie ended, they left hand in hand. Once again, Eddie opened the car door for Molly. She held her short dress so it wouldn't expose her when she got in the front seat, not realizing she was doing it.

"That was a good movie," Eddie said. "I enjoyed it." Eddie didn't normally like chick flicks, but he enjoyed being out with Molly.

"I thought it was great. Thanks for letting me pick the movie." Molly was going to tell Eddie how Lenny would always pick the movie, but didn't think it was necessary. She wanted to forget about her short relationship with Lenny.

"Where would you like to eat? I'm not real hungry, but I could go for a piece of pie or something sweet," Eddie said.

"How about going to the dairy bar? They have great ice cream. I think they have pie too," Molly said.

Eddie nodded and headed to the small ice cream parlor. They sat in a booth and ordered sundaes. While they waited for their desserts to come, Eddie saw Penny and Walt come in. He waved to them and said, "Want to invite Penny and Walt to join us?"

Molly was about to say no, but changed her mind. She got up, waved to her friends and sat next to Eddie. Penny and Walt came over and sat across from them.

"Where's the rest of the crew?" Walt asked.

"Brad, Jenny, and Kathy are at my house," Eddie said.

Molly hugged Eddie's arm and said, "We're on our first date."

Penny gave Molly a strange look. Then, as if the two girls could read each other's minds, they went to the bathroom together.

"Okay, what's up?" Penny asked Molly.

"What do you mean? Eddie and I are on a date. He asked me out and I said yes," Molly said with a giggle.

"That's cool. What did you guys do?"

"We went to the movies. You won't believe it, but he didn't try to feel me up or anything." Molly giggled again. "Eddie even let me pick the movie!"

"Wow, that's wild. When's the last time you saw the movie?" Penny said, remembering the times she had doubled with Molly and Lenny.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. "I was sort of pissed at first, but after a little while, it was nice. I wanted him to try things."

"Oh well, the night is still young." Penny said.

The two girls went back to the table. The four of them talked about the fishing trip and the fun they all had. When they finished their ice cream, they stayed and talked for another hour.

"We've going to take off," Walt said.

"Okay, don't do anything we wouldn't do," Molly said and then she giggled.

Eddie paid the bill for his and Molly's ice cream. They said goodbye to their friends and went to the car.

"What would you like to do now?" Eddie asked Molly.

"Um, we could go to my house. My mom is out tonight," Molly said.

Eddie smiled and drove to Molly's house. He followed her in and sat on the couch. Molly turned on the radio and found a station she liked. She sat on the couch next to Eddie and leaned against his side.

Putting his arm around her shoulders, Eddie used his other hand to turn her face to his. He kissed her lips, letting the kiss linger for a few moments. Molly turned toward him, putting her arms around Eddie's neck. They began kissing in earnest. Molly opened her mouth and so did Eddie. Their tongues tangled as the kissing intensified.

Eddie broke the heated kiss. He started kissing Molly's neck, causing her to moan. When Eddie nibbled her earlobe, Molly tried to move closer to him. Eddie moved one of his hands to her breast, massaging her on the outside of her dress. After a half hour of making out, they took a break.

Molly rested her head on Eddie's shoulder. She held his hand against her breast, enjoying his tender touch. When Molly reached behind her neck to undo the top of her dress, Eddie stopped her.

"Molly, I think we should wait. I really like you, more than just like you. I want to make love with you, but not now, not tonight," Eddie said.

"Why not? I want to make love with you."

"I didn't say I didn't want to, I do. Just not now, okay. If you want to know why, it's because I think we need some time to get to know each other better."

Molly pulled away from Eddie so she could look into his eyes. She wanted him to make love to her and wasn't satisfied with his answer. "What about what we did on the boat? Didn't you like that?"

"Honey, I loved it. It was fun and I want to do things like that again. What you, Kathy, and I did was great, but it was just sex. I want more than just sex with you. Please don't get pissed at me, but I want to wait," Eddie said.

Molly stared at Eddie and had trouble understanding what he was saying.

"Molly, your friendship, and what I want in a relationship between us, is more important to me than getting laid. I know it would be great, but the first time we make love, I want it to be wonderful."

"I'm over Lenny if that's what you're thinking."

Eddie nodded. "This isn't about him, or anyone else. This is about us. If we made love tonight, we might regret it. I'm not willing to take that chance." Eddie pulled her close and hugged Molly. "Honey, I'm falling for you in a big way. So is Kathy. When we began this three-way relationship, I was skeptical. I didn't know if it would work or not."

Kissing Molly, Eddie continued. "Now I think it will work, I want it to. If we let our love develop, it will be special—as special as you are. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I think so. Eddie, I already love you and Kathy."

"I love you too, but don't you think our love can grow and become stronger? We have to be strong in order for this to work. If we aren't, jealousy will destroy any chance of the three of us becoming what I think we all want." Eddie pulled Molly onto his lap and kissed her again.

Molly sat with her legs straight out, her side against his chest. Eddie stroked her hair and kissed her head. Molly turned her head and their lips met. As the kiss deepened, Eddie began rubbing Molly's leg at her knee. She moaned into his mouth and wiggled against him.

"I'm so horny I could die," Molly said as she let her legs open slightly.

Eddie kissed her and began to move his hand under her dress. When his fingers touched her vulva, Molly groaned. Hooking his fingers under the leg opening of her panties, Eddie stroked her sex. Molly's body jerked as she tried to increase the pressure.

Using his fingers on her labia and his lips on her mouth, Eddie brought Molly to an orgasm. She wiggled and moaned as her body convulsed with pleasure. When the feeling passed, Molly rested her head against Eddie's shoulder.

Molly sighed and then giggled. "I can't get myself off that fast. You have marvelous fingers."

"You have a very hot sexy pussy, Sweetie," Eddie said.

"Want me to do you?" Molly asked.

Eddie chuckled and shook his head. "You already did. I came in my pants while you squirmed against my cock."

Molly moved off Eddie and gigged when she saw the wet spot on his slacks. They both laughed for a few minutes and then Eddie went to the bathroom to clean up.

"I'm going to head home, Sweetie," Eddie said as he held Molly in his arms. "We're going to the boatyard tomorrow. Want to come with us?"

Nodding her head, Molly said, "Yes, I want to go with you. What time are you going to pick me up?"

"About nine. Is that too early?"

"Nope, I'll be ready."

Eddie put his hand on Molly's butt. He hiked her skirt and gripped her cheeks. Pulling her to him, he kissed Molly.

"You're a tease; you know that don't you?" Molly said.

"Yeah, I know, but you like it," Eddie said.

"No, I love it—I love you."

"Molly, please don't be too upset about tonight."

"I'm not upset. You were right and I know it. I just can't understand how a boy can turn down getting screwed."

"I'm not a boy, Molly. I'm a young man that cares so deeply for you that I'm not willing to jeopardize our relationship. I hope you understand."

"I'm trying to understand, I really am. Please be patient with me."

"No problem, I'll wait until we're ready."

"Eddie, you were right you know. Thanks for not giving in and doing something we may have regretted."

"Sweetie, that's what being a couple is all about. We have to depend on each other. Being a threesome complicates it even more. Trust me; things will work out for us, all of us."

"I do trust you, Honey. I'll see you in the morning," Molly said and then she kissed him.

After Eddie left, Molly sat on the couch. She thought about what had transpired that night, and had mixed feelings about it. Right or not, she wanted to make love with Eddie. Giggling she realized they did make love, but they didn't screw. How else could she explain how she felt?

Laura came in shortly after Eddie left. She parked down the street, waiting until she knew she wouldn't catch them in a compromising position. Laura met Bill at the bar. She told him it was over and they could never see each other again. He wanted to get together one last time and offered to take Laura to a motel, but she told him no. In the end, they parted friends.

"How was your date with Eddie tonight?" Laura asked Molly.

Molly giggled and then gave her mom a detailed account of her date. When she reached the point that she and Eddie got to the house, she paused. Taking a moment, Molly decided to tell her mom about what happened.

"Mom, I wanted to make love with Eddie tonight, but he wouldn't do it. He said we should wait," Molly said.

"He did? That doesn't sound like a red blooded teenage boy," Laura said.

"Well, that's what happened. Now, after I've had a chance to think about it, he was right. Maybe we're not ready yet. Things are somewhat complicated. There are three of us involved in this thing."

"Yes, I keep forgetting about Kathy."

Molly blushed and said, "I'm not. Mom, have you ever done anything with another girl?"

"No, I haven't," Laura said. She didn't tell her daughter she had thought about it before.

"Well, I have to get to bed. Eddie is picking me up tomorrow morning. We're going to the boatyard," Molly said.

"What are you going there for?"

Molly giggled. "Eddie didn't say. It doesn't matter though. I know I'll have fun."

Molly started to leave, but stopped and turned around. "How did thing go for you tonight, Mom?'

"Just fine, Honey. I told Bill I wasn't going to see him anymore."

"When do I get to meet Joel?"

"Soon, Molly, very soon. Joel is taking me out tomorrow night. I have a lot to talk to him about, but I think things will be okay."

"Does he know about Bill?"

Laura shook her head. "No, but he's going to. If Joel and I are going to move forward, I want to make sure there's nothing in my past he doesn't know about."

"What if he gets mad?"

"I have to take that chance. I'm not going to lie to him, not anymore." Laura smiled. "I learned that from you and your friends. Goodnight, Honey."

"Night, Mom. I love you," Molly said.

Laura sprang out of her chair. She hugged Molly and told her how much she loved her. Molly kissed her mom's cheek and then went to bed.

Molly was in the shower when Eddie came over to pick her up the next day. Laura invited him in to wait.

"I can wait outside with the rest of the guys," Eddie said.

"Nonsense, tell them to come in," Laura said. "I have fresh coffee and homemade sweet rolls."

Eddie waved to the others, telling them to come in. After a quick greeting, the teens sat at the kitchen table. Laura told the rest of the kids Molly was still in the shower. Kathy grinned and went to tell Molly they were there.

"Hey, girl, shake a leg. We're waiting for you," Kathy said when she went into the bathroom.

"Hi, Kathy, I'm almost finished," Molly said from the shower.

Kathy pulled the curtain back, giggled and said, "Want me to come in there and wash your back?"

"Yes, but then we'd be late," Molly said.

Reaching into the shower, Kathy pulled Molly to the opening in the curtain. She kissed her and then giggled. "If you don't hurry, I won't be able to wait."

"Our boyfriend can. Do you know he wouldn't screw me last night?"

"Yeah, we talked about it when he got home. Brad and I were at his house. Don't feel bad, he wouldn't fuck me either. I don't know what's wrong with that boy," Kathy said with a giggle.

Kathy closed the shower curtain and left the room. She returned to the kitchen, found a towel and dried her arm. "Molly will be here in a minute," Kathy said. She noticed the others were eating rolls and asked for one.

Molly came into the kitchen with a towel wrapped around her. She wanted to know what Jenny and Kathy were wearing. When Kathy was in the bathroom, she hadn't noticed. She saw the other girls were wearing shorts and left.

"What was that all about?" Brad asked.

"Molly wanted to know what we were wearing," Jenny said. "It's a girl thing."

Brad and Eddie laughed. They drank their coffee and ate the rolls Mrs. Durham placed on the table.

"You should work in a bakery, Mrs. Durham. These rolls are great!" Eddie said.

"I used to work in a bakery, Eddie. I worked in my family's bakery when I was young," Laura said.

Molly came back wearing shorts and a tank top. She hugged Eddie from behind, kissing the top of his head. Molly did the same to Jenny, Brad, and Kathy before sitting down.

"Mom wants to know why we're going to the boatyard today," Molly said.

"We have a few things to do on the fishing boat. Dad asked us to come in today," Eddie said.

Mrs. Durham asked about the boat. She told the teens she had never been around boats.

"Why don't you come with us, Mrs. Durham? We can show you the boat and maybe the yacht Dad is finishing for our friends," Jenny said.

Laura shook her head, telling the kids she didn't want to interfere. The teens told her she wouldn't be and finally convinced her to follow them to the boat yard. Molly's mom went to dress while the teens finished eating.

"Molly and I will ride with you so you don't get lost," Eddie said. He tossed the keys to Brad.

The group left the house. Before they got into the vehicles, Eddie told Brad to go to the marina first. Mrs. Durham followed the van. Molly realized where they were going and giggled.

Brad pulled into the marina and parked the van. Molly's mom parked next to the van and turned to Eddie.

"This doesn't look like a boatyard," Laura said.

"It's not. This is where we keep our boat. I thought you might like to see it," Eddie said.

Laura followed the teens to the boat. When Molly pointed to the Lady Guinevere, her mom gasped.

"Oh my, I didn't realize your boat was this large," Laura said.

"Isn't it great, Mom? Come on, you're going to love the inside," Molly said.

Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy allowed Molly to show her mom around the boat. Molly giggled and bounced as she showed her mom the salon and galley. Mrs. Durham shook her head in disbelief.

"Let's go below. I want to show you the staterooms, Mom." Molly giggled, turned to her friends and said, "See, I'm learning. Staterooms are bedrooms, the head is the bathroom."

The rest of the teens waited while Molly showed her mom the staterooms. They chuckled at how excited Molly was.

"This is the stateroom we slept in, Mom," Molly said as she opened the door to the master stateroom. Molly opened one of the hanging lockers. "Isn't this great?"

Laura looked around. She made comments about the guest stateroom and then asked why her daughter didn't sleep in the room with two beds.

"Walt and Penny slept in here, Mom." Molly giggled. "They wanted to be alone."

Laura nodded and chuckled. Molly showed her mom the washer and dryer before they went into the head.

"When everyone is getting ready, this place is busy. It's so cool that no one gets bent out of shape when you walk in and they're in the shower," Molly said.

Molly led her mom back up to the salon. They went outside and Molly told her mom about the cockpit and fishing. She grabbed Laura's hand, pulling her up the steps to the flying bridge.

"This is where they drive the boat. I got to drive last Sunday," Molly said.

Once the tour was completed, the group headed for the vehicles. Laura followed Brad to the boatyard. On the way, Molly babbled about the boat and the fun she had while she was out on it.

"One of these days you should come with us, Mrs. Durham," Eddie said. "We can teach you to fish."

"I don't know about fishing, but I would like to go for a boat ride someday," Mrs. Durham said.

"No problem, we are moving when we fish. We can do both at the same time," Eddie said.

"Bring your bikini, Mom. We can get some sun too," Molly said. "Eddie, when can we go?"

"I don't know. We'll have to see what's going on," Eddie said.

They pulled into the boatyard and parked by the covered slips. Harry saw them come in and went to meet the teens.

"Hi, Laura, nice to see you again," Harry said.

"It's nice to see you too. I hope you don't mind, these kids wouldn't take no for an answer. We went to see your boat before coming here. I'm impressed," Laura said.

"We like her. The Lady Guinevere isn't huge, but she's comfortable," Harry said.

"It looked huge to me."

"Come with me, I'll show you the boat the kids have been involved in."

Harry walked toward the covered slips. He opened the door, holding it for Laura and the others. Laura looked up at the new fishing boat and shook her head.

"That is a lot larger than I thought it would be," Laura said.

"She's seventy-five feet long," Harry said. "Our boat is forty-four feet long."

The group went aboard. Harry showed Laura around the salon and then took her up to the enclosed flying bridge. Laura couldn't get over the rich wood paneling. She mentioned how beautiful the boat was.

Molly and the other teens took Laura below to show her the five staterooms. She looked into one of the heads and said, "This is nicer than the house I take care of."

Molly giggled and said, "You haven't seen anything yet, Mom." She turned to Harry. "Can we show her the yacht, Mr. Shockley?"

They finished looking at the fishing boat. Harry led the group to Tomiko. They went aboard and he began showing Laura around. Molly followed, listening to Harry as he told her mom about the boat. Laura couldn't believe anyone could afford anything like the yacht.

"Mom, the owners are my age," Molly said as they climbed off the yacht.

Laura looked at her daughter and furrowed her brow.

"She's not kidding. Four teenagers own this yacht. The boys are seventeen and their sisters are fifteen. They're going to charter her." Harry chuckled and said, "Their parents helped them buy her."

Laura left after telling Harry thank you for showing her around. She said goodbye to Molly, asking if she knew when she'd be home.

"I have a date tonight, but I won't be out late, Molly. Have fun and I'll see you later," Laura said.

"Okay, Mom. I don't know when I'll be home, but I'll call later," Molly said.

Laura left the boatyard after telling the rest of the teens goodbye. Eddie asked his dad what was up with the fishing boat.

"The Coast Guard inspected her yesterday and it passed. We're ahead of schedule so we decided to start the sea trials today. Jeri will be here in about a half hour and we'll take it out," Harry said.

Jeri and April showed up fifteen minutes later. The group went aboard the fishing boat and Jeri fired up the big diesel engines. After checking everything in the engine room, Jeri went up to the bridge.

The workers untied the boat. Jeri backed out of the slip, using the transmissions and bow thruster to maneuver the boat in the narrow canal. While she worked, she explained what she was doing to the teens.

Once the boat was in one of the larger canals, Jeri asked Eddie to take over. She stood by, watching him drive the boat. When they reached the Intracoastal Waterway, Jeri told Eddie to speed up. They made several runs, each about five miles long. Running the boat at different RPMs, Jeri recorded the results.

"This boat handles nicer than our boat," Eddie said.

"That's because of the stabilizers. They help with tracking," Jeri said.

Eddie gave up the helm to his sister. Jenny made several turns, feeling how nicely the boat handled. When the waterway allowed, Jenny backed the boat up. Over the next two hours, Eddie, Jenny, Brad, and Kathy took turns operating the seventy-five foot boat. Eddie went up the tuna tower and ran her from there. Brad joined him on the tower and commented on how far he could see.

"Someday I'm going to have something like this," Eddie said. "This is so sweet!"

Eddie used the intercom to tell Jeri he and Brad were coming down from the tower. Harry came up and watched his daughter at the helm.

"There isn't a drop of water coming in from anywhere. Should we take her outside and see how she handles the ocean?" Harry said.

"If we get fuel we can. The tanks don't have much in them," Jeri said.

"Let's take her to the gas dock," Harry said.

Jenny steered toward the gas dock where they moored the Lady Guinevere. When she approached the pier, Jenny asked Jeri to take over.

"The fuel inlets are on the port side, Jenny. You take her in. It's just like your boat, only longer. Eddie would you and Brad put the fenders over the side please?" Jeri said.

Jenny listened to Jeri as she moved the boat closer to the pier. Jeri gave her pointers about using the bow thruster. When the boat came to rest along side the pier, Jenny giggled. "That wasn't hard at all. You're right, the bow thruster makes it easier than our boat," Jenny said.

It took an hour to fuel the boat. The attendants used two hoses. Harry watched the pumps while Jeri kept her eye on the gauges.

"Stop at two thousand gallons," Harry told the attendants. "That will be fine for now."

"Two thousand gallons of gas?" Molly said.

"The boat uses diesel fuel. She holds twenty-five hundred gallons," Harry told Molly.

"Wow, that's a lot of fuel," Molly said as she shook her head.

Harry laughed and handed the attendant a credit card. He signed the slip and they were ready to go again.

Eddie pulled away from the pier while Molly stood at his side. He took the boat out through the inlet and into the ocean.

"There are about four foot seas today. This should give us a good idea of how she'll handle," Jeri said. "Once we're out a few miles we put her though her paces."

For the next two hours, Eddie, Jenny, Brad, and Kathy took turns at the wheel. They ran into the seas, in the trough, and with following seas. Each time they ran the course, they changed the speed. Jeri noted the RPMs and the speed recorded in the GPS.

"Want to take a turn?" Eddie asked Molly.

"Um, I don't know. This is so much bigger than your boat," Molly said.

"Come up on the tower with me. You'll be able to see better," Eddie said.

Molly agreed. She went up the ladder, hanging on tightly as she went up the rungs. Eddie stayed right behind her, encouraging Molly. On the tower, Molly looked around. She glanced down at the cockpit, telling Eddie how far it seemed.

Eddie called down to the bridge to tell Jeri he was taking over. He stood behind Molly as she carefully steered the boat. The rough seas caused the tower to sway, but Molly gained confidence when she realized she was safe.

"Head her for home," Jeri said over the intercom.

Eddie showed Molly the waypoint on the chart plotter's screen. She nodded and maintained a course. Unlike many novices, she didn't over steer.

Giggling, Molly said, "It would be fun to be up here naked."

"Go for it. I'll hold the wheel," Eddie said and then he chuckled.

When they approached the inlet, Eddie took over. He guided the boat through the churning water and into the ICW. Slowing the boat, Eddie called down to tell Jeri he and Molly were finished on the tower.

Back at the boatyard, Eddie maneuvered the boat into the slip. He cut the engines and smiled. "This thing is the bomb! Hey, Dad, can I have one just like her?"

"Sure, Son, as soon as you have the money," Harry said.

Eddie and Brad went through the checklist, shutting down the boat. They went to the engine room to check the oil and other fluids. When they came up, they stood around the cockpit with the others.

"Well, I think we'll be ready to deliver her a week early. You kids did a great job with the design. I'm sure the owner will be pleased," Harry said.

"I'm picking up the linens on Monday," April said. "I'll make sure everything is ready to go when the owner takes her. I also have the things for the galley."

"Joanne will be down next week to put the final touches on the interior. She has throw pillows and other things that will accent the salon and the staterooms," Harry said.

"Are you going to buy things like shampoo and soap too?" Jenny asked.

"No, we'll let the owner take care of the personal items," Harry replied.

The group left the boat. They decided to get something to eat. After telling Jeri, April, and Harry goodbye, they all climbed in the van.

Chapter 27


Don gathered his family in the family room. He sat in his chair and said, "Marc and I are heading down to Florida tomorrow. The rest of you will leave at the end of the week. Marc and I have a few things to attend to before we leave for the Bahamas."

The two families were going to Florida for spring break. Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally were excited about the fishing tournament and seeing their friends. Dianne Phillips made sure the teens' schoolwork was far enough along for them to take an extra week. They attended classes on Saturdays so they would have the required number of days.

"Are we staying in the new house?" Kim asked.

"Yes we are. I talked to Jeri yesterday and she said it was ready. It isn't completed, but we can stay in it. We also have the guesthouse. It's finished," Don said. "When you pack, only take enough for a couple days. We decided you kids should buy new clothes that are better suited to Florida. Since we've decided to keep this house, you'll need clothes in both places.

"We'll be using the small planes. We don't need to overload them with excess luggage."

Don and Marc left the next morning. When they arrived in Florida, Jeri and April met them at the airport. Don and Marc sat in the back of the suburban while Jeri drove.

"I think everything is in order, Don. April and I have the house ready for you," Jeri said.

"How are things coming with the rest of the construction?" Marc asked.

"The contractor has been cleaning up for the past two days. The new building is very nice. It will serve the yacht well. Yoshi is on board and we're getting ready for the interviews for the other crew members," April said.

"What do you have planned for this week?" Jeri asked.

"Today, I want to check out the house. Tomorrow, Marc and I have an appointment with Harry. Sam, Joanne, Jerry, and Liz will be here in the morning. I need you to pick them up at the airport. How are things going with the fishing boat?" Don said.

"It's ready. We've had her out a half dozen times and she's a dream. When are you going to tell us what's going on with the seventy-five?" Jeri said.

"In due time. Marc and I have a few details to work out first. Did you reserve a place we can all get together for dinner next week?" Don said.

"Yes, Yoshi has made arrangements with the restaurant he used to work for. He agreed to fill in when he isn't working on the yacht. I hope you don't mine," Jeri said. "We have reservations for Friday night at seven."

"Seven will be fine. Yoshi works for you. As long as you're okay with it, its fine with us," Marc said. "Have you found any good candidates for the crew?"

"We're taking resumes, but we're not interviewing yet," April said. "There are a few that look interesting."

"I don't mean to tell you your business, but I'm curious. What is the youngest you'll consider for a job on the yacht?" Don said.

"They have to be sixteen. I don't know, I haven't thought about it. I would hire a teenager if they would work hard," April said. "I'm very demanding. I don't think many kids would enjoy working for me."

Jeri pulled into the driveway. She parked the car and they all got out and went into the house. Don and Marc followed Jeri and April. The two women showed them what the contractor did. Don and Marc were pleased with the results and the decorating Joanne did.

They went out to the new building and checked it out. Don said he was very pleased with the way the new building fit in. Back in the house, Don and Marc went to their rooms. They unpacked their bags, placing the few items they brought in drawers.

"Let's get dinner and then go to the mall. Marc and I need new clothes," Don told Jeri and April.

Jeri took Don and Marc to a seafood restaurant. The four of them talked about the yacht while they ate. Jeri told them she had selected a broker.

"The broker will want to go out on Tomiko and take pictures for a brochure," Jeri said. "Harry told me the yacht will be ready for delivery within the month."

"I want to take delivery when she's ready, but we'll wait until the kids are out of school before taking anyone out. After all, it is their yacht," Don said.

"Okay, whatever you say. I'll let the broker know," Jeri said.

After dinner, the group went to the mall. April and Jeri helped Don and Marc select new clothes that would be stylish in the area of Florida they would soon call home. Once the two men were sure they would be okay, the four of them returned to the house. April took the clothing to the laundry room to wash before Don and Marc wore them.

April offered to prepare breakfast the next morning, but Don insisted on taking them out. After breakfast, Jeri drove Don and Marc to the boatyard. Jeri and April left for the airport to pick up Jerry, Liz, Sam, and Joanne.

"Hello," Harry said as he shook hands with Don and Marc. "How was the trip down?"

"Just fine, Harry. Having use of private planes is the only way to go. We were in the air fifteen minutes after we got to the airport. We came down in a Learjet," Marc said.

Jack Waters came over to greet Don and Marc. The four men went to Harry's office. The receptionist brought in a carafe of coffee and cups.

"How is everything coming on the fishing boat?" Don asked.

"She's ready to go. I just need a name and port so we can finish the documentation. The Coast Guard gave her a clean bill of health. The sea trials are completed and she passed with flying colors," Harry said. "Would you like to take a look at her?"

"Sure, then we can talk. I have a few things I need to talk to you about," Don said.

"Have your kids been out on her yet?" Marc asked.

"Yes, they've been out several times. Eddie and Brad are very good with her. The girls are almost as good. I'm sure they're going to want to thank you for giving them this opportunity. It's been hard keeping it a secret," Jack Waters said.

"From the looks of things, they did a great job. Is she equipped as we requested?" Don said.

"Yes, everything you wanted is onboard. All you need is personal items," Harry said.

They toured the boat and Don and Marc told Harry and Jack how pleased they were. The men went back to the office. Over the next few hours, Don and Marc went over a plan they wanted Harry and Jack Waters to help them carry out. Once assured Harry and Jack's kids didn't know whom the boat was for, Don laid out the plan.

Jerry and Sam arrived at the boatyard. They were ushered into the office to join the meeting.

"How was the trip down?" Don asked.

"Good, non eventful. Jo and Liz are with Jeri and April on the yacht," Sam said.

It was after five o'clock when the meeting broke up. Don and Marc thanked Harry and Jack for all their help. Jerry Stone had all the papers he needed signed taken care of and ready to file.

The group packed into the suburban. Jeri drove to the house and parked in the garage. April made dinner for them. They sat on the patio because the Michigan natives wanted to enjoy the warm evening.

"Damn, this is so much better than freezing my ass off in Michigan," Don said.

"No kidding, I'm getting used to the weather down here," Joanne said.

"It's not surprising with as much time as you've spent here the past few months," April said. "Jeri and I are going to miss having you as our house guest."

"Well, here's to a successful venture," Don said as he raised his drink.

The group toasted and took a drink from their glasses. Liz stood up and began removing her clothing. "I'm going for a swim," she said.

April, Jeri, and Joanne nodded. They got up and stripped. The four women walked to the pool and jumped in.

"Damn, I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing beautiful naked women," Sam said.

"I hope not. If you did, I'd begin worrying about you," Jerry said.

The men talked about the boats and Don's plan while the women frolicked in the pool. They went over a few details only the four of them shared.

-------

Molly met her friends in the parking lot. They walked toward the school building and talked about the upcoming tournament. Eddie kept his arms around Molly and Kathy as they walked.

Eddie, Kathy, and Molly's unique relationship was working well. They got through a few bouts of minor jealousies. Molly and Eddie had made out several times, but had not done anything more. Kathy and Molly had their first date together. The two girls went to a movie and then to Molly's house. They spent a couple hours in Molly's room discovering each other.

Kathy took her time and taught Molly the finer points of making love with another girl. Molly was taken by the tenderness she and Kathy shared that night. While she wanted to consummate her relationship with Eddie, Molly didn't feel the urgency she did at first.

"I met Mom's boyfriend this weekend," Molly said. "Joel is very nice." She giggled. "He's handsome too."

"That's cool," Eddie said.

"Yeah, it is cool. Mom was so nervous. She told me she was afraid I wouldn't like him," Molly said. "I don't really know him yet, but I like him so far. As long as Mom is happy, I'll be happy too."

Between classes, Penny found Jenny and pulled her into the restroom. "Guess what, Walt and I did it this weekend," Penny said.

"How was it?" Jenny asked, giggling along with Penny.

"The first time wasn't all that hot. We were clumsy and he had trouble getting it in. When Walt did, it hurt a little. The second time was better, but I was sore."

"It'll get better," Jenny said.

"Oh it did! We did it Friday night. I was too sore on Saturday, but after a couple hot baths, I was fine. We got together yesterday and it was good. Jenny, thanks for helping me."

"What did I do?"

"You and Kathy told me I shouldn't do it until I was ready. It was only a couple weeks, but it gave Walt and me time to talk about things. When we did it, we both knew what we wanted. Even though it wasn't perfect, it was wonderful," Penny said.

Penny gave Jenny a hug. "I can't wait to tell Molly and the others, but I wanted to tell you first."

The girls went to their next class. They met again at lunch and the group sat together. Penny giggled and squirmed in her seat. Walt grinned.

"What's gotten into you, Penny?" Molly said.

Penny blushed, leaned forward and said, "Walt, that's what got into me."

Walt's face turned red. Brad and Eddie nodded, but didn't saw a word. Kathy giggled and winked at Penny. Molly gave her friend a hug and asked Penny if things were okay.

Penny told Molly about it in very general terms. She didn't want anyone else to know about her and Walt. While Penny talked, Molly kept glancing at Eddie. He talked to Walt about the next time they could go fishing, but he noticed the looks Molly was giving him.

After school, Eddie asked Brad to drive. He told Brad he was going to go over to Molly's house. Brad nodded and took the keys. When Brad drove to Molly's house instead of Eddie's house, Molly began to worry.

"I'll see you guys later. I have to talk to Molly," Eddie said. "I'll give you a call and you can come pick me up later."

Molly walked to the house. Eddie followed her, waiting for her to open the door. Once they were in the house, Molly sat on the couch. She felt nervous and watched Eddie pacing the floor.

"What's wrong, Eddie? What did I do?" Molly said.

Eddie went to the couch. He took Molly's hands in his, pulling her to her feet. Looking into her eyes, Eddie wrapped his arms around Molly. He put his lips to hers, kissing her lightly. Molly felt her body tense. She was sure Eddie was going to tell her the three-way relationship wasn't going to work.

"Eddie, I'm..." Eddie kissed her again, cutting off whatever she was going to say. He held her close and pressed his tongue against her tight lips. While they kissed, Eddie began moving his hands on her back. Molly began to relax and put her arms around Eddie's neck.

Sliding his hands down to Molly's butt, Eddie lifted her. His mouth remained glued to hers as he carried Molly toward her bedroom. He used his foot to push open the partly closed door. Eddie carried Molly to her bed and lay her down. He kept kissing and holding her as they scooted around to get comfortable.

When Molly realized that Eddie wasn't going to break up with her, she began to respond to his kisses and touch. Eddie moved a hand to her breast and started to massage the firm mound. The couple kissed and touched as they removed each other's clothes.

Eddie kissed his way down to Molly's breasts. She moaned when he suckled her nipples, moving his mouth from one to the other. He trailed wet kisses down her stomach, pausing to drill his tongue into her navel.

Molly lifted her hips so Eddie could remove her shorts and panties. He looked into her eyes and then buried his face between her splayed legs. Molly reached for his head, holding him against her sex. Eddie moved his hands along Molly's sides. He covered her breasts as he nibbled her labia and clit.

Eddie savored her tangy taste. He rolled his tongue and pushed it between her labia, trying to penetrate her. Molly squirmed against his face. He slid his hands down and under her thighs. Lifting her legs, Eddie continued to lap her sex. When his tongue touched her anus, Molly let out a throaty groan.

Molly's orgasm came over her like a freight train. Her hips bucked and her body quivered as Eddie took her to new heights. Molly made a series of gasps and grunts as her climax peaked. Just as she was coming down, Eddie took her back to the summit of sexual pleasure. Her body finally went limp. Eddie worked his way to her mouth and kissed her.

Eddie managed to get his pants and boxers off while planting kissed all over Molly's face. When he moved between her legs, Molly opened them as far as she could. Eddie moved up, scraping his penis against her mons. She waited for his entry, but it didn't come. Eddie moved higher, laying his member between her breasts. He pressed the firm mounds together trapping his penis between them.

Moving slowly, Eddie slid his penis between Molly's breasts. He moved up, offering his glans to her lips. She wrapped her hand around Eddie's shaft and began kissing his throbbing member. Her tongue swiped the droplet of pre-come from the tip.

Eddie rolled on his back and Molly followed. She stroked his penis as she kissed and licked the length. Eddie moaned and ran his fingers through Molly's hair. He didn't force her mouth on his penis like her last boyfriend used to do. Eddie allowed Molly to do what she wanted.

Oral sex never appealed to Molly. In the past, she felt dirty when she did it. Now, she was truly enjoying what she was doing. Eddie's moans told her what he liked. She took his penis between her lips and began to move her head up and down.

It was the second time she had tasted his member, the first time she did it alone. When she and Kathy shared Eddie's penis, she had fun. Now she was making love to him. The thought of having semen in her mouth used to disgust her, but now she was coxing if from Eddie's penis. She wanted to taste him and feel his come in her mouth.

Molly felt Eddie's penis swell and begin to jerk. He didn't say a word before his semen shot into her mouth. Molly swallowed trying to get every drop of his essence. When Eddie's penis stopped spurting, Molly held it in her mouth. She savored his semen, rolling it with her tongue. When Molly removed her mouth, she swallowed.

Eddie pulled Molly up. They rolled onto their sides and Eddie began kissing her. Their bodies writhed together as their passion built again. Eddie's penis swelled to a full erection. He rolled Molly on her back, moved between her legs and then entered her slowly.

Molly groaned as Eddie's penis stretched her vagina. He worked his hips until their bodies were as close together as they could be. Moving his mouth to hers, Eddie kissed Molly tenderly. He lifted his head, stared into her eyes and began to move. Molly wrapped her legs around Eddie and met his slow thrusts.

Eddie varied his speed and the power of his thrusts. Molly lolled her head from side to side, as she felt several orgasms claim her body. Her steady moaning urged Eddie on. He slowed down when he felt his climax build and resumed his motion when the feeling subsided.

Twenty minutes later, Eddie let out a groan and shoved his penis into Molly as far as he could. His orgasm triggered another in Molly and they came together. Spent and sated, Eddie lowered himself to Molly's sweaty body. Her legs flopped on the bed, and twitched as she felt her vagina continue to contract around Eddie's softening member.

After a few minutes, Eddie lifted his head. He smiled down at Molly and said, "I love you."

Molly's eyes filled with tears of joy. Her tired arms came up and circled Eddie's neck. Pulling his mouth to hers, she kissed him as hard as she had ever kissed anyone.

Eddie rolled off Molly. He stretched out next to her, putting an arm around her body. Molly turned her head to face him and grinned.

"I love you too, Eddie. I don't know why you made me wait, but it was well worth it. Please promise me we'll do that again," Molly said.

"Does that mean you liked it?" Eddie said.

"Liked it! The only other time I felt like that was when I was with Kathy." Molly giggled. "Maybe I shouldn't have said that."

"Why not? Was it the truth?"

Molly nodded.

"Sweetie, I don't care if you and Kathy make love or have sex. That's what we wanted, isn't it? I know Kathy likes girls, or at least one girl, as much as she liked guys. It makes me happy you two can find love together."

"I have wondered if this was going to work, Baby. After Kathy and I made love, I wasn't sure. Now I know it's going to work. I can't wait until the three of can share this together."

Eddie chuckled and said, "Me too, Sweetie, me too. I think Kathy is going to be very happy soon. We haven't made love since we started this—you know, the three of us."

Molly furrowed her brow. "Why not?"

"I wanted to wait. I wanted to make sure it wasn't just sex pulling us together. I asked Kathy to wait just like I asked you. I didn't think it would be fair for me to do things with Kathy I wasn't doing with you."

Molly and Eddie went to the bathroom. They showered together and played under the warm spray. When they finished, Eddie took her back to her room. They got on the bed and started fooling around.

They were playful. Eddie moved Molly onto her hands and knees. Kneeling behind her, he pushed his penis into her vagina. Eddie reached around Molly and fondled her breasts.

"I'm going to fuck you," Eddie said as he pulled back and slammed his hips against her butt.

Molly moved forward and slammed back against Eddie. "Then quit teasing me and fuck me!"

Eddie and Molly developed a rhythm. Their bodies moved together with a slap and then they moved away from one another. Eddie moved his hand from her breast to her crotch and diddled her clit. Molly let out a grunt every time his penis went deep inside.

Molly came, letting out a screech. Eddie followed, shooting his semen into her vagina. When they separated, Eddie flipped on his back. Before Molly knew what he was doing, Eddie pulled her sex down to his mouth. Molly groaned and then giggled. She wiggled her hips, smearing hers and Eddie's juices on his face. Leaning forward, Molly sucked his slick penis between her lips.

Eddie and Molly lay next to each other. She fondled his flaccid penis while he used his fingertips to stroke her pubic hair.

"Want me to shave my pussy for you?" Molly asked with a giggle.

"I like it like this, Sweetie."

While they snuggled and talked, Molly's mom came home. Laura called out for Molly. Giggling, Molly pulled the sheet over their naked bodies.

"Hi, Mom, I'm in my room with Eddie," Molly yelled. She turned to Eddie and smiled. "I guess she's going to know, isn't she?"

Laura walked down the hallway. When she reached Molly's open bedroom door, she froze. She gazed at her daughter in bed with Eddie and said, "Oh, I'm sorry." Molly's mom stifled her chuckling as she walked away.

Molly and Eddie got up. They went to the bathroom and rinsed off the sweat from their active sex. Once they were dressed, they went to the kitchen.

Molly bounced over to her mom. She gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Molly was surprised she didn't feel the least bit embarrassed by the fact her mom found her in bed with Eddie.

"Hi, Mrs. Durham," Eddie said.

"Um hello, Eddie." She turned to Molly. "I don't think I have to ask how things are going—do I."

Molly grinned as she shook her head. Laura laughed and said, "Are you two staying for dinner tonight?"

Molly looked at Eddie. He shrugged his shoulders. "We're staying, Mom. We have to start our homework."

Eddie and Molly went into the living room. They began to study while Laura prepared dinner. By the time dinner was ready, Molly and Eddie had completed most of the day's assignments.

Laura felt a bit uncomfortable while she sat at the table with her daughter and her boyfriend. Having found them in bed together was shocking for her. Molly detected her mom's discomfort and she smiled.

"I'm sorry, Mom. We lost track of time," Molly said. When Laura looked up, Molly said, "I'm not ashamed."

"We'll try to be more discreet, Mrs. Durham," Eddie said.

Laura couldn't help chuckling. She pushed her food around her plate with her fork and thought for a moment. The things she had talked about with Eddie's and Kathy's parents came back to her. If she chastised the teens, it could backfire on her. She knew they would have sex at some point, but she didn't think she would find them in bed together.

"I have to say I was more than a little shocked. It isn't every day a mother finds her daughter in bed with a young man, a naked young man." Laura smiled. "I suggest you make a 'do not disturb' sign and put it on your door next time. Your closed door."

The three of them laughed at that. The lack of embarrassment or guilt the two of them showed intrigued Laura. She wondered how much better sex would have been for her as a teen if she didn't feel so guilty after doing it.

After dinner, Eddie and Molly took care of the dishes. Laura sat at the table, watching them at the sink. Molly and Eddie joked around while her daughter washed and Eddie dried. The two went to the living room to finish their homework.

"Mom, can I use the car to take Eddie home?" Molly asked.

"Sure, are you going to be late?" Laura said.

"No, I'll be right back."

When Molly returned, she sat on the couch across from her mom. She grinned while waiting for her mom to say something. Laura smiled at her daughter and began giggling like a schoolgirl.

"Well, are you going to tell me about it? I can see you're dying to," Laura said.

"Mom, I never knew anything could be like that. Eddie was so sweet and tender." Molly smiled. "That was the first time I made love with a boy and it was wonderful. I'm really sorry we weren't more careful."

The pure joy in her daughter's eyes warmed Laura. She couldn't find words to express her love for Molly. Blinking back tears, Laura said, "Honey, it's good to see you so happy. I have mixed feelings, but I'll get over them. Since you met those kids, you have changed. You do your homework everyday. You dress better and are taking care of yourself. When you come home after being with them, you're happy. Molly, I'm happy for you."

"Thanks for being understanding, Mom. I am happy, as happy as I've ever been. You have a great boyfriend and so do I."

"Yes, and you seem to have a great girlfriend too. That is if you and Kathy are still the same."

"We're better, Mom, much better. You won't believe what Eddie told me today."

Molly told her mom about Eddie's self-induced abstinence. Laura smiled as her daughter told her that Eddie stopped making love with Kathy until they all had a chance to sort out their feelings.

Laura and Molly talked until it was time for her to go to bed. After her daughter told her goodnight, Laura sat back to reflect on the past few weeks. She and Molly talked almost every evening before bed. Most to the time, the conversations were about Molly's day at school and her plans for the summer. Laura told Molly how things were going with Joel and her job.

What Laura didn't tell Molly was that the woman she cared for was failing. Laura was worried about the future, knowing she would soon be out of a job. Joel knew and promised to help, but Laura didn't want to depend on him, not yet. Joel continued to hint at marriage, but Laura didn't want to get married to solve her financial problems. She had used Bill for that and it didn't sit well with her.

"Time to get up you two," Marge said as she stood looking at Jack and Sally lying together in bed. "We have to leave for the airport in two hours."

Marge went across the hall to wake Tom and Kim.

It was Friday morning. Marge, Anne, and the kids were flying down to Florida. Don and Marc went down earlier to take care of a few business items and now the rest of the family was going down to meet them.

Before going to her room, Marge reminded the kids to pack light.

"What do you want me to wear this morning?" Sally asked Jack.

"A skirt and top will do. Wear the short blue jean skirt. You can pick out the top," Jack said. "You better wear underwear too."

Sally nodded and scooted lower in the bed. "Want your morning blowjob?" Before he could answer, she took his penis in her mouth.

Most mornings Sally gave Jack a blowjob before they got up. She loved feeling his penis in her mouth. Jack usually let her finish him so she could taste his semen, but this morning Jack didn't want to. He let Sally coddle his member for a few minutes before he pulled her away.

Sally faked a pout and then giggled. "Was I bad?" she asked, knowing she hadn't been.

"No," Jack replied. The game was usually the same.

"Then why don't you want me to suck your great big cock?" Sally stroked his penis and giggled.

"Maybe I promised it to someone else. Maybe I'm going to fuck Kim this morning."

Sally grinned. She knew he wasn't going to have sex with his sister. Jack and Kim hadn't had sex in over a month. They hadn't since he put the gold collar around her neck.

"Can I fuck Tom then?"

Jack rolled Sally on her stomach. He smacked her naked bottom, causing her to yelp. The smack was hard enough to smart, but not hurt.

Sally lifted her butt and wiggled it. She waited for Jack to smack the other cheek as he usually did when they played the game. Jack didn't disappoint her. He slapped her other butt cheek. Jack leaned over and kissed the two handprints. He rubbed her butt and she cooed.

Jack and Sally went to shower. They hugged and kissed while rubbing their soapy hands over each other. Fridays were one of their workout days, but they decided to skip it. They finished in the shower, went into their room, and began dressing.

"What is she wearing today?" Kim asked as she came into Jack and Sally's bedroom. Her question directed to her brother.

"She's wearing a jean skirt and top, Kim," Jack said.

"Which jean skirt, she has two."

"The short pleated one."

Giggling, Kim went back to her room. She gave Tom a hug and then kissed him. "I can't wait to get you down to Florida. I'm going to screw your brains out!" Kim said.

Tom chuckled. "Honey, you do that almost every day."

"I know, but we don't have school for two weeks. We can do it two or three times a day."

"If you insist, but you have to give me two blowjobs for each fuck," Tom said.

"One blowjob per fuck!"

"Nope, two blowjobs and I'll eat your pussy," Tom said.

Kim wrapped her hand around his penis and shook it as if it were his hand. "Deal!"

Tom and Kim laughed. They dressed and then grabbed the duffel bag they had packed their things in the night before. Kim and Tom met Jack and Sally in the hallway. The four of them went down to the kitchen.

"How are we going to get our cars and trucks to Florida when we move down there? Are we going to drive them down?" Tom said as he poured coffee into cups for the four teens.

"I think Uncle Don is going to have them shipped," Anne said.

"That's cool, it's better than driving," Tom replied.

After eating breakfast, the group left for the airport. They boarded the Beachcraft and found seats. It was the first time Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim would fly in the small plane. Marge and Anne sat forward. Sally and Jack sat to the rear of the plane across from Kim and Tom.

Once they were airborne, Jack put his hand on Sally's knee. "You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, this is so cool!" Sally said.

Jack leaned close to Sally. He slid his hand up her leg and kissed her cheek. Sally wiggled trying to get Jack to move his hand higher.

"I love you, Baby," Jack said as he ran his fingertips over the gusset of Sally's panties.

Kim saw what her brother was doing with Sally. She giggled and waggled her finger as if she was scolding him. Sally gave Kim the finger and said, "Mind your own business!"

Jack removed his hand. Sally grabbed his wrist, trying to get him to put it back. Tom and Kim laughed as they watched.

"I can't wait to see the yacht," Kim said over the drone of the turboprop engines. "Jeri says it's almost ready to go."

"The last set of pictures was great. I can't believe we're finally going to be able to take it out," Sally said.

"I'm looking forward to fishing with Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy," Jack said.

"I want to meet Eddie and Kathy's girlfriend. Jenny said she's cute," Sally said.

"This is going to be a fun trip. Kathy said we might be able to check out the school we're going to next fall while we're there," Kim said.

"When did you talk to Kathy?" Tom asked.

"The other day, she called me. Kathy wanted to know when we were getting there," Kim said. "She wanted to know if we wanted to go fishing this weekend. I told her you and Jack really didn't like fishing."

"You did not, you brat!" Tom said.

Kim giggled and shook her head. "I said I'd talk to you guys and our parents."

Jeri was at the airport when the plane landed. She greeted the group and showed them where she parked the suburban. On the way to the house, Kim, Sally, Jack, and Tom questioned Jeri about the yacht.

Jeri answered their questions and told them about a few things that she completed that she hadn't told them about yet. She also told them she scheduled the Coast Guard inspection for the next week.

"We've had her out a couple times. Tomiko handles very well, but I think we may have to adjust the stabilizers. She tends to drift and yaw in a following sea," Jeri said.

"Has April finished getting the linens?" Kim asked.

"Yes, they're onboard. One of the washing machines quit so we replaced it. The company wanted to fix it, but I wouldn't let them. We bought new and we want new."

Jeri pulled into the garage at the house. The group got out and went in. Don and Marc gave their wives a hug and kiss. April offered them coffee. They sat around the large glass table in the breakfast nook and caught up on things.

After resting for a few minutes, Marge and Anne said they wanted to check out the house. Jeri and April took them and the teens on a tour.

"I just love what Joanne did here," Marge said while inspecting the living room. "She certainly has an eye for style."

"The leather couches and chairs really set this room off," Anne said.

The group went upstairs. After looking at the two master suits, Marge told the kids to pick the rooms they wanted.

"I thought we were getting the guesthouse," Sally said.

Marge and Anne traded smiled. "Ask your dad and uncle. If they don't mind its fine with us," Marge said.

"Is that what you want to do, Jack?" Sally asked.

"Yes. The guesthouse would be great," Jack said.

When they returned to the kitchen, Sally went over to where Don and her dad sat. She stood quietly until Don looked up and smiled.

"Yes, Sally, what do you want?" Don said.

"Uncle Don, Dad, we want to know if we can have the guesthouse," Sally said.

"Well, I don't know, Sally. We had the guesthouse changed. It's different than it was when you saw it last time. I'll tell you what; you kids take a look at it. If you like it, you're welcome to use it," Don said.

Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally went to the guesthouse. They went inside and began to look around. The house was completely different than they remembered. Don came in to watch their reaction.

"We had the house expanded. The contractor knocked out all non-load bearing walls and redid everything. We added two bedrooms for a total of five. Two large rooms and three smaller bedrooms," Don said.

Don led them to the new bedrooms at the rear of the house. The two larger rooms were exactly alike. They each had a bathroom with a spacious shower. The walk-in closets were large with clothes bars and shelves. Each room was equipped with king size, four-poster beds with canopies. The dressers and mirrored dressing tables matched the beds.

"What about the clients?" Jack asked. "I thought we were going to put them up in here."

"Your fathers, April, and I decided we didn't have to offer lodging for the charter clients. They can stay on Tomiko if they need a place to stay before we depart," Jeri said.

"Which room do you want, Honey?" Sally asked Jack.

Jack glanced at Kim and said, "The other one."

The teens laughed. Kim stepped out of the room, closed her eyes and began turning around. She pointed a finger and stopped. When she opened her eyes, she said, "We'll take that one."

Marge and Anne smiled as they watched their children. They talked Don and Marc into letting the kids have the guesthouse and having the renovations done.

The teens looked at the three smaller bedrooms. All three were nice with queen size beds and matching dressers. Two of the rooms shared a bathroom. The other bedroom would have to use the bathroom accessible from the hallway.

Joanne furnished the living room with two large couches, two chairs, end and coffee tables, and an entertainment center. The refinished kitchen was as nice as the rest of the house. The appliances weren't new, but the large table was. A new island counter, with eight stools, separated the dinning area.

Jack, Sally, Kim, and Tom went to the main house to get their things. They put the few things they brought with them in their dressers. Jack tackled Sally, tossing her on the bed. He gave her a kiss and said, "Tonight we're going to christen our new bed."

Sally reached for Jack's crotch. Giggled and said, "Why do we have to wait?"

"Because I'm hungry right now."

Sally giggled and spread her legs. "Anything special you want to eat?"

Jack laughed and shook his head. "Later, Baby. Let's go back to the main house."

Kim stuck her head in Jack and Sally's room. "I like the way that sounds. You know; our house and the main house."

Tom came up behind Kim and hugged her. She wiggled against him and giggled. "We're ready when you two are."

The four excited teens went to the main house. April prepared sandwiches and a pasta salad for lunch. The group sat at the table and ate. Jerry, Sam, Joanne and Liz came into the kitchen.

"We have the new towels and things for the guesthouse. You kids can get them out of the car after lunch," Joanne said.

"You did a great job here, Jo," Marge said. "I think the kids like their abode."

"Like it, I love it!" Sally said. "Thank you for all you've done."

"You're welcome, Sally. I'm glad you like it," Joanne said.

"When are we going shopping, Mom?" Kim asked.

"You kids can go later. Jenny, Kathy, Brad, and Eddie are supposed to stop by to get you. I thought they could help you pick out your new clothes," Marge said.

The kids finished their lunch. When they began cleaning up, April told them she would take care of it.

"Why don't you guys go check out the new building and where the yacht is going to be moored," April said.

After thanking April, the teens went outside. They walked on the new path to the building that would service the yacht. After checking the building, they walked along the seawall.

Kim held hands with Tom. Jack slipped his arm around Sally. They gazed out over the water and smiled.

"It won't be long before our yacht is here," Jack said. "Things are good, aren't they?"

"Yes, things are great," Kim said. "I can't believe how lucky we are."

The four teens sat on the seawall. Jack gave Sally a kiss and hugged her to his side.

"You know, it would be real easy to become assholes. We have to remember that not everyone is as fortunate as we are. We have parents that allow us to do things most people can only dream of," Jack said.

"I don't think we act like spoiled brats," Tom said.

"Neither do I, but it would be easy to become that way. It's important to remember that. It's also important to share what we can with our friends. I'm not talking about buying them things. I'm talking about how we act. I never want to turn into one of those snooty brats we used to go to school with.

"We need to be like our parents and think of other people. If we don't, we could end up hanging around with kids we can't stand or be alone," Jack said.

While Jack, Sally, Kim, and Tom pondered their futures, they heard giggling. Jumping up, they saw their friends coming toward them. Jack and Tom shook hands with Brad and Eddie. The girls hugged each other.

"Guys, this is Molly," Eddie said. "Molly, this motley bunch of Yankees is our friends from Michigan. This is, Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim."

"Pleased to meet you, Molly," Jack said.

The rest of the group greeted Molly. Sally gave her a hug and giggled.

"Come with us, you've got to see our new house," Sally said.

The teens walked to the guesthouse. They went inside and Sally showed them around.

"Isn't this great? When you guys come over, you can stay here with us." Sally looked at Molly and giggled. "The rooms have queen size beds!"

Molly blushed and turned to Kathy. Kathy gave her a hug and laughed. "Don't worry about it, Hun; they're as crazy as we are."

"When are we going fishing?" Jack asked. "The four of us have been working out so we can handle those big fish."

"We thought we'd go out tomorrow," Eddie said. "We can get some practice before the tournament. Molly is fishing with us."

"That's cool, I hope it's warm. I'd love to see you in a bikini, Molly," Tom said.

Kim smacked Tom's arm. "You brat! What about me?"

"I love seeing you without a bikini." Tom chucked and gave her a kiss.

"Didn't I tell you they were nuts?" Kathy said to Molly.

"When do you guys want to go shopping?" Jenny asked.

"Whenever you're ready," Kim said.

"What kind of clothes are you looking for?" Molly asked.

"Sexy!" Jack said. "For the girls anyway."

"Okay, what do you need?" Kathy asked.

"Everything, Kathy. Our parents said we should get things that are in style down here. We only brought enough clothes for two days," Sally said.

The teens went into the main house. Kathy introduced Molly to the parents and the other adults. "Molly is the newest member of Eddie, Brad, Kathy, and Jenny's fishing team. She's going to fish with us next week," Sally said.

Sally and Kim took them on a tour of the house and then came back to the kitchen.

"We're going shopping. What time should we be home?" Kim said.

"You need to be back by five. We're going out for dinner tonight," Marge said.

"I guess we'll have to make more than one trip. There's no way we can get a complete new wardrobe in two and a half hours," Kim said with a giggle.

"You don't have to get everything right now. Make sure you kids have what you need for our stay. You can buy more when we come back," Anne said.

The teens left. Jack offered to drive so everyone could fit on one vehicle. Then, handing the keys to Eddie, he said, "You know where we're going."

Molly sat in front with Eddie and Kathy. The rest of the group sat in the two rear seats of the suburban.

"What do you want to shop for first?" Jenny asked.

"Undies, and then everything else, Jenny. Mom said we can go to your mom's shop," Kim said.

Eddie drove to his mom's store. They all went inside and said hi to Mrs. Shockley. Once the greetings were completed, the boys went outside to wait for the girls. Sally asked Jack what she should get and he told her to get what she wanted.

Kim and Sally raided the sale table. They sorted through the items, collecting panties, thongs and bras. Molly watched the girls and smiled.

"Why don't they buy the other stuff?" Molly whispered to Kathy.

"I don't know; it isn't like they can't afford it."

"Did you see the prices on some of these things? All of my underwear didn't cost as much as some of these bras," Molly whispered.

Jenny overheard Molly. She talked to her mom for a moment and then went to get Molly. "Come with me, Molly," Jenny said as she grabbed the girls arm.

Jenny led Molly into the back of the shop. Mrs. Shockley took Molly to a bin of lingerie and said, "Molly, you can take anything you want from here. These are seconds that we're going to send to a discount store."

"I don't have enough money for anything like this," Molly said.

"Don't worry about it; you can pay me when you can. Everything in here is two dollars apiece."

"What? That's not right," Molly said.

"That's what we get from the discounter. Jenny and Kathy haven't been through this batch, but they don't need anything else," Mrs. Shockley said with a smile.

Molly began sorting through the bin. She found a few things she liked and set them aside. As she made her selections, she picked out a few matching sets for her mom. Jenny's mom checked on Molly. She smiled and said, "Take everything you want. I'll accept payments."

"Your mom is so nice," Molly said to Jenny. She picked out a few more things and counted everything.

"I have twenty things, Mrs. Shockley. Is that too much?" Molly said.

Ellen shook her head and put the items in a bag. Molly thanked her several times before she and Jenny went out to see how Kim and Sally were doing. The girls placed two piles of underwear on the counter and told Mrs. Shockley they were finished.

Kim handed Mrs. Shockley a credit card. She processed the card, bagged the items and thanked the girls.

"Where to now?" Jenny asked as they left the store.

"The mall, where else?" Kim said.

"Don't you want to check out the stores on Worth Avenue? This is the best shopping in Florida," Kathy said.

"Are you kidding? Things are way too expensive here. We'd rather go to the Gap or Old Navy," Sally said. "We can get several outfits for what a top costs in these stores."

"Whatever you say, Sally. Let's get the guys and go," Jenny said.

Eddie drove to a mall close to his house. The teens went inside and began shopping. Eddie and Brad went with Jack and Tom. The girls headed for the Gap. When they met up again, they carried bags of clothing.

"We found a few great sales," Kim said. "Sally and I got some real cute things."

"We bought shorts, slacks, shirts and underwear," Jack said as he hefted the bags that he carried. "Are we finished?"

"We need to stop at a store so we can get shampoo and things like that," Kim said. "Is there a Wal-Mart close by?"

Eddie drove the group to Wal-Mart. The teens picked up the toiletries they needed for the house and the fishing trip. When they finished, they headed home.

The teens talked while Kim and Sally sorted through their new things. The girls started a load of laundry so they would have clean clothes for dinner that night. At five thirty, Eddie, Brad, Jenny, Molly, and Kathy left. They agreed to get together the next morning so they could go fishing.

Kim and Tom took a shower together in their new bathroom. Next to them, Sally and Jack also showered. They didn't fool around too much because they didn't want to be late.

At six thirty, they left for dinner. Don, Marc, Marge, Anne, and the four teens went in the suburban. Jerry, Liz, Sam, and Joanne followed in a rental car. When Jack asked about Jeri and April, Don said they would see then later.

"Eddie, you and your sister need to get changed; your father wants to go out for dinner tonight," Ellen said.

At the Waters' house, Kathy and Brad heard their mother say the same thing.

It was a quarter to seven when the group converged at the restaurant. The teens expressed their surprise to see each other. Don led the large group into the building and talked to the host.

While they waited to be seated, Molly, her mom, and Joel walked in.

"What's going on here?" Jack asked his dad.

"I decided to take our friends out to dinner. Is that okay?" Don replied.

"Yeah, it's just a surprise, that's all, Dad," Jack said.

"Good, I love surprises," Don said with a smile.

"Your tables are ready," the host said. He led the group to a private room. Once they were sitting at the tables, the servers began taking orders.

In the front of the room, Yoshi, and two other chefs, stood at a teppanyaki. They waited for the servers to fill the drink orders before they began cooking.

"That's the chef for the yacht," Sally told Kathy and Molly. "This is great. Have you ever been here?"

Molly shook her head. Kathy nodded, telling Jenny she and her family had been to the restaurant once.

The lights lowered and the chefs went to work. As they cut, chopped and prepared the food, the room filled with applauds. Girls in native costumes served the food as it became ready.

After dinner, Yoshi milled through the group. He accepted the praise the guests gave him and the other chefs. The servers cleared the tables and served ginger ice cream for desert.

Don stood up and tapped his coffee cup with a spoon. The drone died down so he could speak.

"We want to thank all of you for joining us for dinner this evening." Don waved his arm, pointing to Marge, Anne, and Marc.

"We are all happy you could make it. We hope you enjoyed the great meal." The guests clapped.

"As most of you know, our kids have decided to go into business. For our new guests, we'll fill you in later. I'd like to welcome Molly, Laura, and Joel to our growing list of friends. As it turns out, Joel and Jerry Stone know one another.

"Now, I have an announcement to make. I hate to admit it, but we've been a bit sneaky. I have no idea if what I'm about to tell you will be accepted. I understand if it isn't. That being said..."

Chapter 28


"... It's no secret how much Eddie, Jenny, Brad, and Kathy love offshore fishing. They have been very successful in several tournaments. They have also infected our kids with the bug.

"Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally have enjoyed fishing the Great Lakes in our home state of Michigan, but now that they've had a taste of the fishing down here I don't think they will be satisfied with twenty pound salmon. We could buy the kids a boat and they could go out and learn, but I have a better idea. At least I think its better.

"Marc and I would like to co-sponsor the Lady Guinevere fishing team. We will provide additional support so the kids can enter more tournaments. Harry has also agreed to co-sponsor the team.

"Well, how do you feel about my scatter-brain idea?" Don said as he looked at Eddie.

Eddie couldn't talk for a moment. He looked at his sister and shrugged his shoulders. Jenny smiled and nodded. When Eddie looked at Kathy and Brad, they nodded too.

"Well, it looks like we have a new fishing team. I would like to invite all of you to the house so we can have a small celebration. I have a feeling our kids have a few things to talk about—so do their parents," Don said.

The group left the restaurant and followed Don to the house. In the car, Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally babbled about the chance to fish with their friends.

"Dad, did you know about this?" Eddie asked.

"Me, I had no idea what Don and Marc were up to," Harry fibbed.

When they arrived at the house, Don fiddled with his keys until everyone was out of their car. He glanced at Marc and smiled.

"Darn it, I don't think I brought the right keys. We'll have to use the backdoor," Don said.

The group followed Don into the back yard. The lights were out and it was hard to see. When everyone was on the patio, Don cleared his throat.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I do have another surprise," Don said.

The lights came on and illuminated the large yard. Against the seawall sat the seventy-five foot fishing boat Eddie, Jenny, Eddie, and Kathy helped design.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present the new Lady Guinevere," Don said.

All of the teens' mouths dropped as they stared at the boat. Floodlights lit the boat, making it stand out against the darkness.

"You did know, you had to," Eddie said.

"Your dad didn't know about my idea until last Monday, Eddie. I had to let him and Mr. Waters in on my plan because of a few legal matters and the fact it included their children. He knew he was building the boat for us, but he thought it was for Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally. You only knew that the owner wanted the best fishing boat he could get.

"You have done that. The four of you have helped designed a boat you'd want. That was important to me. I don't know a thing about fishing or fishing boats. When I asked your parents to allow you to design the boat, it was because I had confidence in your ability," Don said.

"What's going to happen to our boat?" Jenny asked.

"We renamed it. It's now the 'Lady Guinevere Too.' We're going to keep her so your mother, Mr. and Mrs. Waters, and I will have a boat to use," Harry said.

"Look, this is up to you kids. If you don't think it will work, just let us know," Don said.

Eddie chucked and said, "Come on, guys, let me show you around the new Lady Guinevere."

The group walked to the boat. When they climbed aboard, they saw two men waiting in the salon. Eddie, Jenny, Brad, Kathy, and Molly recognized one of the men from the tackle shop. He was the Shimano representative. The other man introduced himself as Marlin Parker, the owner of Marlin Magic Lures, one of the largest lure manufactures in the country.

"Shimano and Marlin Magic Lures are also sponsors," Don said. "They will keep you in tackle and pay for the entrance fees for the tournaments you fish."

"When Andy called me and told me about this opportunity, I jumped at the chance to help sponsor your team. If we don't attract young people, our wonderful sport will die. I also hope to sell my lures. If you kids ever get to Hawaii, look me up," Mr. Parker said.

"You flew here from Hawaii?" Jenny said.

"I sure did. Like I said, this is exciting for me and my company," Mr. Parker said. "I'm going to be in the Bahamas next week to see you kids fish."

The teens took a tour of the boat. When they went below to see the staterooms, Jack started to chuckle. "Looks like this will be your stateroom, Eddie. You and your girlfriends will need the queen size bed."

After inspecting the boat, the teens went to the house. When they went in, Don gathered them in the living room.

"Okay, we also felt the team needed new threads. I had April work with Mrs. Shockley to come up with these," Don said as he pulled a cover off a rack.

The teens looked at the shirts, slacks, shorts and skirts hanging on the rack. Jenny pulled one of the shirts off the rack and held it up. Embroidered on the back was the name of the fishing team and the sponsors. Over the left breast pocket, the name of the boat and the name of the angler were embroidered in script.

"Here, Molly, this is yours," Jenny said as she handed Molly the white shirt.

Molly took the shirt and looked at her name. Her eyes filled with tears as she realized she was indeed part of the team. Moving through the crowd, Molly found her mom.

"Look, Mom," Molly said as she showed her the shirt.

Laura felt her throat tighten as she ran her fingertips over her daughter's name. She smiled at Molly and nodded. Molly saw her mother's tears and they hugged.

"Well, are you going to try them on? I have to know if we need to make changes," Ellen said.

The teens didn't bother to find privacy. They began stripping and trying on the new clothes. Joel's surprise showed in his face. Don put his hand on Joel's shoulder and said, "You'll get used to it if you hang around this crowd very long."

"They're not shy, are they?" Joel said.

"Not in the least," Don replied with a chuckle.

The nine member fishing team modeled the new outfits. The girls showed off in their short skirts. Finally, things settled down. The group moved to the patio where Don and Marc served cocktails.

"Can we use the boat when Jack, Sally, Tom, and Kim are in Michigan?" Eddie asked.

"Yes, of course you can. The boat belongs to the team," Don said.

"Where are we going to keep her, Dad? Tomiko is going to be on the seawall soon," Jack said.

"We have a slip at the marina where we keep the other boat. We're going to keep her there," Harry said.

"What about the tackle on our other boat?" Jenny said.

"You can take what you need and leave the rest. Who knows, we might want to go fishing someday," Harry said.

"Mr. Stone has a few things to go over with you kids," Don said. "Give him a few minutes, please."

Jerry handed Eddie a folder. "These are the papers for the boat and the fishing team. I need all of you to sign these papers and record your social security numbers. There is a credit card and the bank information.

"In order for you parents to afford this, the boat will have to be available for charter occasionally. Jeri will captain it until you're old enough to get your licenses. Most of the time, the charters will be in conjunction with a charter on Tomiko.

"You have to keep accurate logs of all your trips. Jeri has set up a log on the computer on the boat, but you should also keep it in a logbook. Your sponsors will deposit funds in the account so you have money to fish. You kids can use some of your winnings, but the majority of the money will have to go into the boat's account. Any questions?" Jerry said.

No one said anything.

"Good. Joel will help with any legal matters. He works in my office down here. If you have any questions, see him. Other than that have fun with your new boat," Jerry said. "I'll make sure you all get a copy of the documents."

The teens lined up and signed the papers where Jerry showed them.

"Can we take her out tomorrow?" Eddie said.

"As long as you feel you're ready. If not, take Jeri with you," Don said.

"I'm ready. That boat is easy to handle," Eddie said. "Besides, it's supposed to be calm tomorrow."

Jack pulled Eddie aside. "Do you think we should invite everyone out tomorrow? We can fish hard on Sunday."

Eddie smiled and nodded. He and Jack gathered the rest of the crew and posed the idea to them. Everyone thought the idea was great.

"Excuse me," Eddie said loudly. "Could I have everyone's attention for a moment?"

The nine teens stood in a straight line, facing the adults. When it was quiet, Eddie looked to Jack and nodded.

"First, we all want to thank all of you. I think I can speak for the team when I say we really appreciate this. Next, we would like to invite all of you to join us for the maiden voyage of the new Lady Guinevere. We are taking her out tomorrow and would like all of you to be with us," Jack said.

"What time are we leaving?" Mrs. Waters asked.

"We'll leave at ten," Eddie said.

"How about if we go out for a ride and then you kids can bring us back so you can fish in the afternoon?" Harry said.

"Whatever you want to do is fine with us," Eddie said.

"Can we put our things on the new boat?" Jenny asked.

Don laughed and said, "It's your boat, do what you'd like."

"We should go get what we need from the other boat too," Kathy said.

"Is there anything we need for tomorrow?" Brad said.

"I have some personal items I'd like to have," Kathy said.

"You can go if you want to," Harry said. "Just don't be too late."

"Do you guys want to come with us?" Jenny asked Kim.

"Why don't you go? Sally and I will start washing our new things," Kim said.

"Okay, we'll be back in a jiffy," Jenny said.

Eddie, Jenny, Brad, Kathy, and Molly left. Kim and Sally took the new clothes to the laundry room and started the two washing machines.

"Can you believe what just happened?" Brad said as Eddie drove to the Marina.

"Not really, I'm still a little numb," Eddie said.

"Your friends are really nice," Molly said. "You're right; you'd never know they had money."

"Did you hear Jack when he said we should have the stateroom with the queen size bed? I kind of thought they would want the big staterooms," Kathy said.

"It doesn't surprise me. They aren't like that," Jenny said. "I think this is going to be a blast. I'm going to miss our boat, but I'll get over it."

"We're not losing our boat, Jen. We're gaining another one. We can still take the forty-four out," Eddie said.

"Yeah right, like we're going to do that," Jenny said with a giggle. "I wish I would have known we were designing the boat for us though."

"Why, would we have done anything different?" Brad said.

"Well no, but we might have," Jenny said.

"We did a good job. I wouldn't change a thing right now. That may change after we've fished on her, but any changes would be minimal," Eddie said.

When they got to the boat, they went aboard. Jenny took a few plastic bags from a drawer and they went below to gather their things.

"Are we going to take our old outfits?" Kathy asked.

"I think we should. We can let our friends wear them if they fish with us," Jenny replied.

A half hour later, they were on their way back to the house. Brad and Eddie took the kites and some of the other tackle they knew they would use.

At the house, the adults sat on the patio. They gathered close so they could talk. Don and Marc made sure everyone's drink was fresh.

"I'd like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart," Laura Durham said. "Molly is as happy as I've ever seen her. It is very generous of you to include her."

"No problem, Laura. She looked like she was happy," Harry said.

"How many tournaments do you think the kids will fish in?" Laura asked.

Andy Nester moved closer. "We have them scheduled to fish a half dozen major tournaments this summer. Mr. Parker and I want the exposure."

"Will they have to travel much?" Laura said.

"They will be gone for long weekends most of the time," Marlin Parker said.

"You're welcome to come with us, Laura. We'll be attending most of the tournaments," Don said.

"That would be nice, but I can't afford to do that," Laura said.

"Yes you can, I'll go with you," Joel said. "I've never been to a fishing tournament."

"Why don't the two of you go with us next weekend," Marge said.

"I don't think we can get a room or a flight on short notice," Joel said.

"No problem. We have a plane. If nothing else, you can stay in one of our rooms," Anne said.

"Um, I have to work next week," Laura said trying to figure out a way to go.

"We're leaving on Friday. We can leave after you get out of work," Marc said. "There isn't an excuse in the world that we can't find a way around."

"I'll talk it over with Molly. If she doesn't mind, I'll go. Thank you," Laura said.

Eddie and the rest of the teens came back into the yard. They carried the things for the boat in their arms. As they walked past the adults, Marge said, "Hey, Molly, do you mind if your mom and Joel go to the Bahamas with us next weekend?"

Molly spun on her heels. "Really? You want to go, Mom?"

"If you don't mind, Honey."

"Heck no! I'd love it if you could go too," Molly said.

Laura smiled. Molly giggled and caught up with her friends. "My mom is going to go to the Bahamas with us," Molly said as she stepped onboard.

"That's cool, Sweetie," Kathy said.

Jack and Tom were sitting on the boat when Eddie and the others got back. They helped carry the things below so they could be stowed.

"Which staterooms do you guys want?" Jack asked. He grinned. "I know which one Eddie, Kathy, and Molly want."

"Brad and I will take this one," Jenny said as she stepped into one of the smaller rooms. "All we need is a bed and a hanging locker."

"I agree. Why don't we keep the other big room open for guests? We can use the head if no one is staying in it," Tom said.

Molly giggled and said, "We could take one of the small rooms too. Eddie can sleep on the upper berth."

Kathy put her arm around Molly and said, "Works for me."

"You know, nothing says we can't change around. It isn't like we're going to be living on the boat," Jenny said. "Kathy, Molly, let's go see if we can help Kim and Sally."

"I hope you guys can teach Tom and me how to operate the boat. I've never driven anything this big," Jack said.

"By the time we get back from the Bahamas you two will be pros. This thing is very easy to dock. That's the hardest part of operating a boat," Eddie said.

"Did you know your dads were doing this?" Brad said.

"No, we didn't know anything about this boat. Our dads can be weird," Tom said. "They can be full of surprised too."

"No shit! I thought I was hearing things when he said this boat was ours—the teams," Eddie said. "Do you know how great it's going to be to have Shimano and Marlin Magic Lures as sponsors? They can get us into tournaments we would have to qualify to enter."

"Is Shimano good equipment? I mean, we're not using it just because they're our sponsor, are we?" Tom asked.

"No, we bought the Shimano gear before we knew anything about the sponsorships. I realize we were set up now, but that doesn't matter. I would have selected it anyway," Eddie said. "Most of the lures we use are Marlin Magic."

"Okay, I have an important question. How do you get away with having two girlfriends, Eddie?" Jack asked.

Once the boys stopped laughing; Eddie and Brad told Tom and Jack about the weekend on the boat.

"How the hell do you keep them both happy?" Tom said.

"So far it's been easy. We haven't really been having sex. I wanted to make sure it was going to work because we liked each other first. Kathy and Molly will be keeping each other happy too," Eddie said.

"Can we go up to the bridge? I'd like to check out the electronics," Jack said.

"Hell yes, let's go," Brad said.

"Need any help?" Jenny asked as she walked into the laundry room with Kathy and Molly.

"My mom and her boyfriend are going to the Bahamas next week," Molly said and then she giggled. "I don't think my mom has been anywhere before."

"I wonder if she is going to fly down on Dad's plane," Kim said.

"Your dad has a plane too?" Kathy said.

"They don't own the planes. They are part of a group that leases them. We flew down in one," Sally said. "It was fun."

Kathy, Jenny, and Molly helped take the things out of the dryer and put them on hangers.

"Two more loads and we'll have all the new uniforms washed," Sally said. "I still have to hand wash my new undies. I should do that tonight."

Sally began filling one of the tubs with cold water. She added the detergent they used to wash delicate items and began removing the tags from the new panties and bras. Kim helped her, tossing the things into the tub.

"We have to make up a menu for our trip," Jenny said. "We can go shopping next week."

"You should have your mom make some of her sweet rolls, Molly. They're the best," Kathy said.

"I'll ask her."

The girls finished the laundry. Kim and Sally hung their underwear to dry and then the five girls took the uniforms to the boat. They hung them in the lockers and went to the bridge to see what the guys were doing.

Jack and Tom listened while Brad and Eddie told them about the radar units. They had already gone over the chart plotter and the autopilot. Sally walked up behind Jack and put her arms around him.

"What are you guys doing?" Sally asked.

"Brad and Eddie are teaching us about the electronics. This boat is equipped with some great gear," Jack said.

Sally let go of Jack and walked to the sliding glass door that led to the sundeck. She stepped outside and then called the other girls.

"This will be great for tanning, won't it?" Sally said.

"It will be a good place to watch behind the boat too," Kim added.

"You should see the view from the tower thingy. It's great," Molly said.

"It's called a tuna tower," Jenny said. "You can drive the boat from up there."

"I like the flying bridge on the other boat. It was nice being able to sit in the sun when we were underway," Sally said.

"I know, but we decided to have an enclosed bridge. It'll be better in bad weather," Jenny said. "There's always the sundeck or the bow if you want to be in the sun."

"We're going down to the cockpit," Eddie said as he and the other guys walked past the girls.

The group went down the steps to the cockpit. Eddie turned on the spreader lights so he and Brad could show the others the layout. When Brad opened one of the lockers, he found a duffle bag he didn't recognize. The side of the bag had Marlin Magic Lures printed on it.

Brad opened the bag and found it was full of lures and teasers. "Take a look at this. Mr. Parker left us a present," Brad said.

The boys sorted though the lures. They put them away in the drawers and said they had to remember to thank Mr. Parker for them.

Sally sat in the fighting chair. She giggled and asked about the chair.

"It's a fighting chair. You sit in it when you fight a big fish," Brad said.

Sally scooted to the edge and leaned back. "I can think of another use for the chair. It can be a fucking chair too." Everyone laughed at what Sally said.

"I think you have a one track mind, Sally," Kim said.

"Yeah, like you weren't thinking the same thing!"

Kim giggled and stuck out her tongue.

"Don't stick that out unless you intend to use it," Sally said. She giggled and spread her legs. "I just thought of another use for this cool chair."

Jenny laughed and kicked the gimbal. "It even has a dildo holder."

The teens cut up. They made jokes about the chair and its alternate uses. Eddie finally shut off the lights and they left the boat.

"Is everything okay on the boat?" Don asked.

"Yes, everything is great, Mr. Graham," Eddie said.

Eddie went over to where Mr. Parker was sitting and thanked him for the lures.

"You're welcome, Eddie. I hope you kids land a new record on one of them. You'll be fishing the twenty-pound class, won't you?" Mr. Parker said.

"Yes, we like that weight class," Eddie said.

"The new rods will work well in the twenty-pound class. The reels have a new drag system to reduce break-offs," Andy said. "When we come out with new lines, I'll see that you get them."

"What do we do with the rods and reels we have now when we replace them?" Jack asked.

"They're yours. You can do whatever you want with them," Andy said. "A couple of the other boats we sponsor sell them."

"Can we donate them to the youth program at our club? There are kids that are lacking good equipment," Jenny said.

"I think that is a great idea. Hell, if you kids are going to do that, I'll make sure you always have the latest and greatest equipment. The more of our product people try, the more they'll buy," Andy said.

The party began breaking up at eleven. After saying goodbye, everyone left. Jack, Sally, Kim and Tom sat with their parents for a while. They talked about the new boat and the fun they planned to have.

"Dad, why did you do this?" Jack said. "Don't get me wrong, I think it's great, but it seems like it's a bit over the top."

"Well, Jack, it's like this. We are in the position to help other people. None of us planned it, but we are. Uncle Marc, Aunt Anne, Mom, and I decided to do what we could. It appears we will be spending a lot of time in Florida. I know you kids like fishing so I decided to buy a boat. I was at the boatyard and Harry showed Uncle Mark and me the hull. The rest is history as they say.

"Just don't let things go to your head. Nothing replaces friendship. You kids can have a lot of fun if you keep that in mind. The boat is just a means, not the end."

"We talked about that earlier today, Dad. We know it would be easy for us to become spoiled brats. I don't think that's going to happen, we have great teachers," Jack said.

Don smiled. "You kids should get to bed. It's been a long day for you guys."

Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim told their parents, and the guests, goodnight. They went to the house and began to get ready for bed. They met in the living room to sit and relax for a few minutes. Jack sat on one of the couches. Sally sat on his lap and put her arms around his neck. Kim and Tom snuggled on the other couch.

"What do you think about the Molly, Eddie, and Kathy thing?" Kim said.

"I think it's cool if they're happy," Jack said.

"They're cute together. Kathy is so bold and Molly is very shy. They complement each other," Sally said.

Jack got up and took Sally's hand. He told his sister and cousin goodnight and walked to the bedroom. Sally stood by the side of the bed while Jack removed her tee shirt. He pulled her panties down her legs and kissed her mons. Jack removed his boxers and they climbed into the big bed.

Sally came into Jack's arms. They kissed, tenderly at first, but the passion quickly grew. When Jack entered her, Sally was ready and willing. He began to move slowly as he kissed Sally's lips.

"I love you, Sally," Jack said.

She kissed him. "I love you too." Sally knew what Jack wanted. He wanted to make love, not just fuck her. She smiled, knowing she was giving him what he wanted.

In the next room, Tom and Kim pawed at each other. Their sex began fast and furious. Kim flipped around so she could suck Tom's penis. He pulled her down so he could lick her labia and nibble her clit. They rolled around, driving each other to great sexual heights.

Sally pulled her legs back so Jack could penetrate her deeper. She held her legs with both hands, pulling her knees to her breasts. Jack supported himself with his hands next to her shoulders. He pushed in, paused and then pulled back. Each time he buried his member in her vagina, Sally let out a muffled grunt.

Tom rolled Kim on her back. He began sliding his penis in and out of her mouth, hitting the back of her throat. He knew how much Kim could handle in that position and was careful not to go too deep. Tom pushed two fingers into Kim's vagina. She moaned around his penis and tried to take more of it. She gagged, but didn't care. Tom sucked her clit, sending jolts of pleasure through her body.

Jack pulled Sally's legs over his shoulders. He picked up his pace, causing his testicles to slap against her bottom. Sally held his sides, pulling him into her. When Jack's orgasm began to build, he started to screw Sally harder. She urged him on with her words. "Yes, Jack, fuck me, fuck me, Baby." Sally repeated over and over. Her vagina contracted as her climax ripped through her. Jack began to come, his semen flooding Sally's vagina.

Kim groaned around Tom's penis. She wanted him to come in her mouth so she could taste him. Tom's fingers, tongue, and mouth brought on several orgasms. Kim's moaning sent vibrations through Tom. He felt his penis swell and backed off. Kim wrapped her hand around his shaft and milked him into her mouth. His semen coated her tongue and ran down her throat. She swallowed quickly so none would escape. When they were both sated, Tom rolled onto his side. They moved until their heads rested on the pillows and began to kiss.

Sally felt Jack's penis throbbing in her. She humped up against him, gripping his member with her vaginal muscles. She knew he would slip out soon, but she wanted to prolong the feeling of being full as long as she could. Jack lowered himself on top of Sally. He found her lips with his and kissed her. After a few moments, he rolled on his back. Sally scrambled down so she could take his penis in her mouth. She loved the feeling of his slick member against her tongue. Sally also loved feeling him turn flaccid. Sometimes Jack would maintain a semi erection, but not that night. He was completely spent.

Moving up so she could snuggle against Jack, Sally sighed. "I love you so much, Jack."

"Mmmm, I love you too, Sweetie. Why don't you move up here so I can lick you?"

"I will if you tell me to, but I'd rather fall asleep feeling your come inside me."

"Okay. Goodnight," Jack said.

Sally kissed him and snuggled closer.

"Night, Baby," Kim said to Tom.

"Goodnight. This has been a hell of a day, hasn't it?"

"Yes it has. It was a perfect ending too." Kim licked her lips. "Mmmm, I love sucking your cock."

"You're tasty too, Kim. We should do that more often."

Kim giggled and began to move down Tom's body. He laughed and pulled her up. "Sorry, I'm finished for a while, Baby. We're going to have to wait."

Kim rolled on her side. Tom spooned against her back, reached over her and held one of her breasts.

A few minutes later, the four teens were sound asleep.

-------

"Wake up," Jenny said as she shook Kim's shoulder.

Kim groaned and swung her arm in the air above her.

"Time to get up, Cutie. Time's a wasting," Jenny said

"What do you want?" Kim said as she rolled on her back. She opened her eyes, saw Jenny and groaned. "What are you doing here? What time is it?"

"It's eight thirty, time to rise and shine," Jenny said in a sing-song voice. "Kathy is waking up Sally and Jack."

"I thought we were going out at ten," Kim said as she sat up.

Jenny giggled and said, "Nice tits."

"Thanks, what time is it?" Kim asked again.

"Eight thirty. We want to check things out to make sure everything is ready. Eddie, Brad and Molly are in the house," Jenny said.

Tom woke up and rubbed his eyes. When he saw Jenny, he sat up, pulling the sheet over his middle.

"We have to get up, Baby. This mean chick won't leave me alone," Kim said with a giggle.

"I'll be in the other house. See you in a few," Jenny said as she left the room.

Kathy woke Jack. He smiled and said, "Good morning, Kathy."

"Morning, Jack. We're all in the main house. We want to check things out before we leave," Kathy said.

Jack reached over and shook Sally. She rolled over, saw Kathy and giggled. "Hi, want to join us?"

Kathy laughed and shook her head. "Not right now. I'll see you guys in the main house. Molly's mom sent Danish."

Kathy left the room. Jack and Sally got up and began getting ready for the day. They showered together and then dried themselves.

"What am I wearing today, Lover?" Sally asked.

"Baby, wear whatever you'd like. It may be cool at first."

"I'm going to wear shorts and a tube-top. I'll wear sweat pants and a hoodie until it warms up—okay?"

"That sounds great, Honey."

Jack slipped on slacks and a pullover shirt. He grabbed his sweatshirt in case he needed it. Kim and Tom came into the room and said they were ready.

Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally went the main house. They went into the kitchen and greeted their friends. Don sat at the table, taking a bite of a roll.

Sally found cups and filled them with coffee. She gave Jack his coffee and then she handed Tom and Kim theirs.

"You better get one of these rolls before they're gone, Son. They're great!" Don said.

Jack picked up a roll and took a bite. He nodded while he chewed. "These are great. Where did you get them?"

"Molly's mom made them this morning. She can bake up a storm," Eddie said.

"Remind me to thank her," Jack said.

"How did you like the dinner last night, Molly?" Sally asked.

"That was the best food I think I've ever had in a restaurant. I loved watching the chefs cooking it," Molly said.

"Yoshi, the guy in the middle, is going to be the chef on the yacht," Sally said. "Just wait until you come out with us. We're going to eat like pigs." Sally giggled.

"I have to watch my weight," Molly said.

"That's cool. You'll have to start working out," Sally said.

"Where are you planning to take us today?" Don asked.

"Where ever you want to go," Eddie said. "We can stay in the ICW or take the boat outside. Why don't we play it by ear? If it's rough, we'll stay in the waterway."

"We didn't have much chance to talk last night. I want to say you guys did a great job on the boat. I'm very impressed," Don said.

"Thanks, it was fun for us," Kathy said.

"I have a proposition for you. One of the sports stations has agreed to film you during the tournament. They said they will pay you if you let them," Don said.

"Why do they want to do that?" Jenny asked.

"It will be a pilot for a series. They want to do something with offshore fishing. If the pilot goes well, they will want to do several more."

"How much are they willing to pay, Dad?" Jack asked.

"They agreed to ten thousand for the pilot. If they want to continue, we will have to negotiate a contract," Don said.

"When do they want to know?" Eddie asked.

"In a day or two. They have to send in a crew if you agree to the offer," Don said.

"Have you talked to our parents, Mr. Graham?" Brad said.

"Yes, we all agree it's up to you guys. It's your fishing team and boat," Don said.

"Why do you keep saying it's our boat?" Jenny asked. "It's really yours, isn't it?"

"The charter company owns the boat. The fishing team leases it for a dollar a year. Because you guys are the fishing team, it's your boat to use as you see fit. There are clauses about doing anything illegal, but I don't think we have to worry about that," Don said.

"We'll talk about it today and let you know. Is that okay with you guys?" Kim said. The rest of the team nodded and agreed.

Marge and Anne came into the kitchen. They got their coffee and said hi to everyone.

"Let's go to the boat," Eddie said. "We need to figure out the lines and things."

The teens left the house and headed for the boat. They walked along the seawall, checking out how Jeri had it secured. They went onboard and the guys went up to the bridge while the girls went to the galley to see what they needed.

Eddie talked Jack through the checklist. Jack started the engines and then the generators. Brad switched on the plasma monitor and showed Jack and Tom the video system.

"There are cameras in the engine room." Brad pushed a button and four images of the engine room came up on the screen. "There are two cameras forward and two aft. We can also watch the cockpit from here," Brad said.

"Let's go down to the cockpit. There are a couple of neat things there too. Before we go, start the radar and the chart plotter," Eddie said.

Tom turned on the electronics. The four boys went down the inner steps to the salon. Molly and Sally were putting bottles of water and soda in the refrigerator.

"We have to thank Jeri and April. They have coffee, juice and other stuff on the boat for us," Sally said.

"That's cool," Tom said.

The guys went to the cockpit. Eddie opened a protective panel and showed Jack and Tom the two fifteen inch plasma monitors it concealed. Pushing a few buttons, the fore and aft cameras came up on one of the screens. Eddie pushed another button and the radar image displayed on the other screen. He opened a hatch and showed Jack and Tom a set of controls.

"You can operate the boat from here. The joystick steers it. These are the transmissions, and these are the throttles. The red and green buttons run the bow thruster. The red button pushes the bow to port. The green button pushes the bow to starboard. These controls and the monitors are duplicated on the tuna tower," Eddie said. "There's a wheel on the tower instead of a joystick. The whole boat is drive-by-wire except for the flying bridge. There are mechanical controls there, as well as electronic."

"We have radios on the tower, here, and two on the bridge," Brad said. There is a twelve, and a seventy-two mile radar system. There is a GPS to back up the chart plotter."

"Did you have a chance to see the crew quarters last night?" Eddie asked.

"No, where are they? I was in a state of shock last night," Jack said.

Eddie and Brad took Jack and Tom down into the crew quarters. Jack and Tom looked around and nodded. "This is nice. It wouldn't be bad sleeping down here," Tom said.

"We don't really need crew quarters, but Dad said it would add value to the boat," Eddie said.

"There's a television and everything down here," Jack said. He opened a door. "A washer and dryer too, that's cool. Why is there a dinette?"

"I guess a lot of owners don't allow the crew to eat in the main salon. That's why there's a microwave, a small refrigerator and a two burner stove down here," Eddie said.

The guys went up to the cockpit. They went into the salon so Eddie could show them the rod holders built into the headliner. The rod holders would hold twenty-four rods, and they were full.

"There's coffee ready if you guys want some," Sally said.

The guys went to the counter. Sally put out four mugs with a picture of the boat and the name on them. She filled them with coffee and asked if anyone needed cream or sugar.

Molly, Kim, Kathy, and Jenny came into the salon. They carried bags of food and a few other things. The girls put the stuff away and then came out from behind counter.

"That's a cool necklace, Sally," Molly said.

"Thanks, Jack gave it to me," Sally said.

Jenny looked closer and said, "Where is the clasp?"

"There isn't one. I can't take it off," Sally said.

"Why not?" Molly said.

Sally looked at Jack. He shrugged his shoulders. "Jack doesn't want me to take it off," Sally said.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand," Molly said.

Eddie put his arm around Molly's waist. "Honey, it isn't a necklace—it's a collar."

"I'm Jack's sub. That's why I wear the collar," Sally said as she raised her head. "He owns me, Molly."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Molly asked. "I don't get it."

"It's a lifestyle, Molly. Sally gave herself to Jack and he takes care of her," Kathy said. "I've read about the D/s lifestyle, but I never met anyone that practiced it."

"Sally isn't a slave and I don't abuse her. I love her and I will do anything it takes to protect her," Jack said.

Sally smiled at Molly and said, "I'll tell you all about it later."

"When do you think we can stay on the boat overnight?" Molly asked.

"How about tonight, Hun? We should make sure things are okay before we head for the Bahamas," Kathy said. "We need to make sure the showers and heads work properly and the beds are comfortable."

"That's pretty lame, Kathy," Brad said. "It works for me though."

The teen laughed and started making jokes about the beds. They heard some yell out side, asking for permission to come aboard.

Jack went to the cockpit and invited the group of adults that were waiting aboard.

Jeri and April were with the other adults. When Jeri got into the salon, she told Eddie and Brad she was there as an observer.

Brad, Jack, and Tom went out to untie the lines and disconnect the power. Brad showed Jack and Tom how the self-winding reels for the power and water worked. Once the boat was free, the boys jumped on.

Eddie eased the boat away from the seawall. Jeri stayed back on the bridge, watching Eddie.

Marge, Anne, Sarah, Ellen, and Laura stood in the galley. Laura checked the oven and made a comment that it was nicer than hers at home was. Kathy and Molly came into the salon. Molly went over to her mom and giggled.

"Isn't this great, Mom?" Molly said.

"Yes it is, Honey."

"Want to see our stateroom?" Molly said.

Laura smiled and nodded. Molly grabbed Joel's hand and led him and her mom below. Molly took her mom and Joel to the stateroom she would share with Eddie and Kathy. Opening the door, Molly let them in.

"Look in here, Mom. This hanging locker, that's what they call a closet on a boat, is bigger than the one in my room," Molly said.

"Who are you sharing the room with, Molly?" Joel asked.

Molly looked at her mom. Laura smiled and said, "Kathy and Eddie if I had to guess."

Giggling, Molly nodded her head. "Look at the head, Joel. It's huge!"

Joel stepped into the head and checked it out. When he came out, he said, "Is that real marble?"

"Yeah, cool isn't it?" Molly replied.

Molly showed her mom the cedar lined drawers. She told her mom that the other girls kept clothes on the boat and asked if she could.

"I don't see why not. I guess you're going to be spending some time on the boat this summer," Laura said.

Molly, Joel, and Laura went up to the salon. Molly told her mom she'd see her later and went up to the bridge.

"You don't mind that Molly is going to be sleeping with Eddie?" Joel asked.

"No, not at all, Honey. Molly is going to do what she's going to do. If I told her she couldn't, she would anyway and then she'd feel guilty about it," Laura said. "It used to bother me, but after talking to the other moms, I realized there was little I could do."

"It just sounds strange to me," Joel said.

"How old was the first girl you banged in the backseat of your dad's car? How old were you?" Laura said with a grin.

"Um, I take the fifth," Joel said with a chuckle.

"That's what I thought. We do it and then tell our kids they can't. I'm not doing that anymore," Laura said. "I want to go up on the sundeck. This is the first time I've been on a boat and I want to see."

Laura and Joel walked out on the sundeck. They sat next to each other in two of the white padded deckchairs. While they looked at the homes along the waterway, Laura pointed them out to Joel. Jeri and April came out and sat with Laura and Joel.

"This is great, isn't it?" Laura said.

"Yes, this boat is great. She is very seaworthy," Jeri said.

"That makes me feel better. My daughter, Molly, is going to be fishing with the other kids," Laura said.

"She'll have a good time, they are wonderful kids. April and I work for Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally. I'm the captain of their yacht, Tomiko. April is the head steward."

"I saw the yacht, it's beautiful. Do you like working for the kids? They seem so young," Laura said.

"They are very mature for their age. So are Harry and Jack Waters' kids. All of them are fun. As far as working for the teenagers, they are the best bosses we've ever had. They know what they don't know. Some people can be real know-it-alls, assholes," Jeri said.

"Their parents must have a lot of input," Joel said.

"Don and Marc handle the finances, but the teens make most of the decisions. They have done most things right so far," Jeri said.

"I think working on a yacht would be adventurous," Laura said.

"At times it is. I think that it will be great when the family is on her, but you never know about charter clients. They can be over demanding at times. We just have to grin and bear it," April said.

"How large will your crew be?" Laura asked. "From what I saw, it would take quite a few people to take care of the yacht."

"We don't know yet. We'll have me as the captain and April as the head steward. Yoshi, the man that cooked for us at the restaurant last night, is the chef. We will probably have two stewards and two or three deck hands," Jeri said.

"How many guests will the yacht handle," Joel asked.

"Tomiko has a master stateroom and a VIP stateroom on the main deck. It also has four guest staterooms below. Each stateroom has its own head with a shower. The master has a whirlpool tub that will fit two. The yacht is designed to handle twelve guests and ten crew members," Jeri said.

"That's quite a ratio of crew to guests," Joel said.

"Yes, but when someone pays as much as they do for a charter they expect it. Think of a floating five-star hotel," April said.

Jeri glanced at the shoreline. "Looks like they're taking her outside this morning."

Jeri told Laura and Joel that going outside referred to taking the boat out on the ocean. "If you want to see in front of the boat, we can go on the bow," Jeri said.

Laura said she would like to be able to see better, or at least where they were going instead of where they'd been. Jeri and April led Laura and Joel down to the cockpit and then forward to the bow. They sat on the padded horseshoe shaped seats.

"These pads pull out for sunning," Jeri said and then she giggled. "This was Jenny and Kathy's idea."

Laura laughed and said, "Now why doesn't that surprise me? Those two girls are something else."

"Yes, but I think in a good way. They will bend over backwards to help someone else. That's why I think the fishing team is going to work. Kim and Sally are the same way. All of them are generous to a fault. Did you know that Jenny, Kathy, Brad, and Eddie started a youth division at their fishing club? Not only theirs, but they have helped other clubs do the same thing."

Laura shook her head. "I know they welcomed Molly with open arms."

April mentioned she felt chilled. Jeri scooted close and out her arm around April's shoulders. Laura smiled at the two women.

On the bridge, Jack stood at the helm. Eddie, Brad, and Tom stood next to him, watching Jack.

"I've been thinking about fishing," Jack said. "No one wants to go fishing anymore than I do, but don't you guys think we should spend as much time as we can practicing? Tom, Kim, Sally, and I need to be comfortable setting the lines and things like that."

"You're right, Jack. Molly needs practice too," Eddie said. "The rules for this tournament, like most of them, require the angler to fight the fish to the end. No one can touch the rod. We can touch the leader when the fish is close, but nothing else."

"We should talk to the girls and see what they think," Brad said.

Jack turned the helm over to Tom. He drove for a while, making a few gentle turns to see how the boat handled. After an hour, Eddie told Tom to head back to port.

When they arrived at the house, Eddie used the bow thruster to ease the boat against the seawall. Tom, Jack, and Brad tended to the lines, securing the boat. As the adults left the boat, they all thanked the teens.

Once all of the adults had left, the teens gathered in the salon. Kim and Sally passed out sodas to everyone that wanted one.

"We were talking earlier and Jack brought up a good point. We need to get some practice before the tournament," Eddie said.

"Can't we practice while we're fishing?" Sally said.

"Yes, but we should really work on getting the lines out and back in. We need to learn how the outriggers work and you guys need practice changing lures and teasers. When we were learning, we used to set the lines, clear them, change lures, and then reset them," Eddie said.

"You guys know a lot more about it than we do. We'll do what you think is best," Kim said.

"I'd like to learn to tie some of the knots I've seen you guys tie," Molly said. "I want to be able to help with the ropes when we dock and stuff."

"When we're on the boat, rope is called line," Eddie said. "I think we all need to need to do everything, including operating the boat."

"We need to find out how to deploy the tender too," Brad said. "We might need it and I don't know how to operate the davits or the winches."

"Good thought, Brad. Want me to go get Jeri so she can show us?" Tom said.

"Sure, we may as well get started," Eddie said.

While Tom ran up to the house, the rest of the group moved out to the cockpit. Eddie pulled a spare dock line out of a locker and began showing Molly, Kim, and Sally a few of the common knots they used to secure a boat to pilings and piers.

Jeri and Tom returned and the lessons began.



-------

Chapter 29


Jeri showed the boys how to lower the inflatable tender using the power winch on the davit. The tender sat in a cradle on top of the enclosed bridge and under the tuna tower. The davit swung the Zodiac over the portside before lowering it. Nylon straps, attached to four points on the tender, formed the harness to support it.

"You have to make sure you have a good grip on the bowline or you'll lose the tender," Jeri said. "I would recommend tying it to a cleat until you disconnect the winch line."

"This doesn't seem too hard," Tom said. "I see the winch line is designed so it can be released from the harness while standing on the deck."

"That's the idea. Once you pull the tender to the stern, you can remove the harness and stow it. I would suggest doing it several times so you're all comfortable with the process," Jeri said. "One other thing, you should wash down the tender with fresh water before putting it back in the cradle. Pay special attention to the engine and other metal parts."

Brad, Eddie, Jack and Tom took turns lowering the tender, disconnecting the harness and pulling it to the stern. Each of them reversed the process, swing the tender into the cradle. They worked in pairs with one controlling the winch and the other standing on the deck to disconnect the harness.

While the boys worked with the tender, the girls practiced tying knots. Molly, Sally, and Kim followed Jenny and Kathy's instructions. They kept tying the most useful knots until they could do it with little thought.

"I hope it doesn't rain while we're in the Bahamas. I'm really looking forward to fishing in the tournament," Molly said.

"The rain won't stop us from fishing as long as there isn't lightening or the winds aren't too strong," Jenny said.

Kathy laughed and said, "We didn't think about foul-weather gear, did we?"

"No, I guess we can take our rain suits from the other boat. The rest of you guys will have to get something," Jenny said. "We'll talk with the guys when they're finished with the tender."

"We should make a list of things we need. You know, like soap, shampoo, toilet paper and stuff like that," Kathy said.

Jenny went into the cabin to get a pad of paper and a pen. The girls sat on the cockpit deck and began making a list. They all giggled when Molly suggested condoms.

"Well, you never know. Someone might want to get lucky and not get pregnant," Molly said. "We should get pads and tampons too. It would suck to start our periods and not have anything."

"I know when mine is going to start. The day after I finish my last pill," Sally said.

"That's usually when mine starts too. One of us might forget to bring the things we need though," Molly said.

"We always carried them on the other boat. Add them to the list," Jenny said.

By the time they finished, the girls' list contained the items they felt they needed. Jenny read the list to the other girls, adding extra toothbrushes when Kim mentioned them.

"We need to go shopping," Kathy said when the guys came into the cockpit. "We have a list of things we need for the boat."

Jenny showed the boys the list. Eddie read off the list of items while Brad, Tom, and Jack listened.

"We should get some first aid stuff. I know we have a kit, but it wouldn't hurt to have bandages, gauze, tape, and things like that on board too. I don't see sunscreen or suntan lotion. Shouldn't we have some of that too?"

Jenny nodded, took the list and added the items. "We have to get foul-weather gear too. Like I said, we can get the rain suits from our boat, but these guys need something too," Jenny said. "We should talk to Mr. Graham to see if we can charge these things to the fishing team credit card."

The teens went to the house to talk to Don. When Jenny asked about purchasing the things they needed, he chuckled and nodded.

"You kids can get whatever need for the boat, Jenny. Don't forget food for your trip," Don said.

Jack suggested taking the suburban and gave Eddie the keys. They went to Wal-Mart to get the things on their list. When they finished, Eddie drove to a shop that carried a nice line of foul-weather gear. A man at the store showed them several styles. After the teens told him what they would be using the foul-weather suits for, the man made a suggestion.

"I would get these breathable suits. The bib-pants can be worn without the jackets if you're fishing in rough seas," the salesman told them.

The teens tried on the suits. They agreed to get them, telling the salesman they wanted all of them to be the same color.

"One of these days I'm going to get boat shoes like you guys have," Molly said. "Maybe Mom will give me the money."

"Why don't you get a pair, Molly? We can take the money out of the team funds. When we win money, you can pay it back," Jenny said.

"Are you sure? I thought all the money went back to the boat," Molly said.

"We used to keep out a percentage for us and put the rest into the account," Kathy said. "Are we still going to do that?"

"I think it's a good idea," Jack said. "How about the rest of you?"

Everyone agreed to the idea. Molly picked out a pair of deck shoes and placed them on the counter with the foul-weather suits. Jack paid with the credit card and then they left.

"Here, Jenny, you can take care of the card and keep track of the money—okay?" Jack said.

"Sure, I took care of the money for our boat," Jenny said. "Are we going shopping for food too?"

"Why don't we go back to the house? We can stow the things we bought while you girls go shopping for food," Eddie said.

The girls giggled, making jokes about the guys not wanting to go shopping for food. Eddie drove back to the house. Jack told Kathy she could drive the suburban and then the guys took the things out of the back.

On the way to the grocery store, the girls talked about their day so far, all except Molly. Molly sat between Sally and Kathy in the front seat and stared out the window.

"What's up, Molly?" Sally asked.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. "Nothing, not really," she said.

"You look like you're off in space," Sally said, not letting it go. "Something must be bothering you."

"Things are just weird, that's all."

"What do you mean?" Kathy asked. Kim and Jenny leaned forward so they could hear.

"I don't think Eddie likes me," Molly said.

"You're fucking nuts! Eddie adores you, Molly," Kathy said. She giggled and added, "So do I. What makes you say a thing like that?"

"He doesn't seem to want to—you know," Molly said.

Kathy giggled. "You mean he doesn't want to have sex all the time?"

Molly blushed and nodded her head.

Sally put her hand on Molly's leg just above her knee. "That doesn't mean he doesn't like you. It probably means he likes you for more than just sex."

"Sally's right," Jenny said.

"Maybe I'm not used to it. When I was with Lenny, he wanted to have sex almost every time we got together," Molly said.

"Molly, don't go there again! We've talked about this before. We love you for you, not for sex," Kathy said. She put her hand on Molly's leg and moved it up close to her crotch. "We do like having sex with you, but that's not the reason we want you to be with us."

Kim reached over the seat. She put her hands on Molly's breasts, giving them a firm squeeze. "I'll have sex with you if you're horny." Everyone laughed.

Sally kissed Molly's cheek as she moved her hand up her leg. When Kathy noticed what Sally was doing, she moved her hand higher. The two girls pulled Molly's legs apart and then rubbed her through her shorts.

Molly giggled and wiggled around. Jenny joined in, kissing Molly's ear. After a moment, they settled down.

"I have a problem with my self-esteem. Sometimes it's hard for me to accept the fact that people like me," Molly said.

"You shouldn't feel that way," Kim said. "You're cute and fun to be with."

"This may sound silly, but I feel like I've known you and Sally forever. I'm having so much fun with you guys," Molly said.

Kathy patted Molly's leg and said, "I told you you'd like them, Hun."

The girls shopped for the things they would need for the galley and the trip. Molly selected several items, asking if it was okay to buy them each time she picked something us.

"Just get what you want and put it in the cart," Jenny said. "This is for all of us. That includes you."

The girls finished their shopping. They took the two carts full of food items to the suburban and loaded them into the back. On the way back to the house, the girls talked about the menu for the trip. They decided to ask the guys what they wanted so they could pick up the meat and fresh produce the day before they left.

"When are we leaving?" Sally asked.

"I don't know yet. I would like to leave Wednesday morning so we can start locating fish. The tournament is two days, Saturday and Sunday," Jenny said.

"That will give us a few days to practice before we leave," Kathy said.

Kim ran to the boat to get the boys so they could help unload the things the girls bought. When Jeri heard Kim asking the guys to help, she said, "There's a cart in the garage. We bought it for the yacht so we wouldn't have to carry things from the driveway."

Tom, Eddie, and Brad went to the truck. Jack got the cart from the garage and pulled it to the back of the Suburban. While they loaded the things, Eddie asked if the girls thought they bought enough.

"Most of the stuff is things we need in the galley anyway. We didn't buy that much," Kathy said.

The guys laughed. They finished loading the cart and headed for the boat. Once the cart was off loaded, the girls began putting things away.

"We have to let Mr. Graham know what we want to do about the television crew. Do we want to let them tape our fishing?" Jenny said.

"I wish I knew exactly what they had in mind," Jack said. "It would make the decision easier, at least for me."

"I agree with Jack. I wonder if Mr. Graham knows, or if we could talk to someone," Brad said.

"When we finish putting these things away, we should go ask," Kathy said.

The group went to the house to find Don. He sat outside with them, along with Harry, Jack Waters, and Marc. When Tom posed the question about what the television crew wanted, Don told them he wasn't sure.

"I think we should have someone come here and explain it," Jack Waters said. "If they're interested, they should be willing to do that."

Don nodded, got up and went into the house. He returned with his cell phone and a business card. After calling the producer, he said, "They'll be here Monday evening. He said they will explain everything and ask for ideas."

"That's cool. Thanks for calling," Eddie said.

"Are you kids getting close to being ready?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, real close. We decided to spend a couple days getting used to the boat and setting up. We want everyone to be ready when it comes time to fish," Jenny said.

"Are you taking the boat out this afternoon?" Marc asked.

"I don't think so. We're planning to stay here and go over things. We all need to know where everything is stowed so we don't have to hunt when we're fishing. Some of the stuff needs to be rearranged too," Brad said.

"I think we'll have a barbeque tonight," Don said. "Jeri said Yoshi will cook for us."

"I think I have to go home tonight," Molly said, "but I could call my mom and ask if I can stay for dinner."

Don chuckled and handed Molly the phone. "Give your mom a call. Invite her and Joel, and tell them to bring their suits."

Molly giggled and dialed the number. After talking to her mom for a moment, she handed the cell phone to Don. "Mom wants to talk to you, Mr. Graham."

Don talked with Laura for a moment. He smiled and closed the phone. "She'll be here, Molly. Your mom is making dinner rolls for us."

"Where are our moms?" Jack asked.

"Shopping, where do you think? Mr. Stone and Mr. Mitchell went to their office to do a few things," Marc said.

"Are they going to the Bahamas with you?" Sally asked.

"No, they're leaving Monday. Joanne wants to meet you kids at the yacht in the morning before they leave. She has a few things to go over with you," Marc said.

"Okay, we can take the boat out after we finish," Jack said.

The teens went back to the boat. They started going through the tackle station, learning where things were stowed. Eddie suggested they spread everything on the deck, check it out and then put it away. He told the others they would know where things were that way.

For the next two hours, the group went through the tackle. Eddie, Brad, Kathy, and Jenny explained the things to the rest. They told them the names, and the uses of the terminal tackle and the tools they would use.

"Where do you keep the pole we use to tag the fish?" Sally asked.

"Crap, we don't have a tag pole or a cutter," Brad said. "We need to get them."

"There are a few other things we need too. We should head over to Sid's tackle shop and pick them up," Eddie said and then he chuckled. "We're going to need to make a list."

Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy equipped the boat, but they didn't know it was for them when they did. While they purchased most things required for a fishing boat, they wanted to round out the tackle.

"Why don't you guys go get the tackle? We'll stay here and make sure everything is set below," Jenny said. "I can only guess where you put the things when you put them away."

The girls laughed and nodded. Jenny gave Eddie the credit card so he could pay for the things the guys purchased. The boys left for the tackle shop and the girls went down to the staterooms. When they opened the lockers and drawers, they all laughed.

"They didn't even take the stuff out of the bags," Molly said. "Are all boys like that?"

"Our brothers aren't usually like that. I guess they knew we'd change things around so they just put it wherever they could," Kim said.

The girls took the bags out, spreading the items on one of the beds. They divided the items and put them into the heads.

"Where should we put the rubbers?" Molly asked with a giggle.

"Put them in the locker in the passageway with the towels, sheets and other common things. We can put all of the other extras there too," Kim said. "That way anyone that needs them can get to them."

The girls worked together to put the things in their proper place. They laughed and had fun together as they worked.

"Molly, you should put some clothes in our room and leave them there," Kathy said. "Jenny and I always kept clothes on the other boat so we didn't have to pack every time we spent the night."

"I plan to keep a week's worth of clothes on the boat. We have a washer and dryer so that should be enough," Sally said.

"I don't have a lot of clothes, but I think I can have enough to keep some here," Molly said.

"We should bring the fishing outfits from the other boat." Jenny turned to Kim and Sally. "Sometimes we have guests for a tournament and let them dress like the rest of us. Is that okay with you guys?"

"Sure, it sounds cool to me," Sally said. Kim nodded in agreement.

While the girls finished putting things away, the boys shopped for the additional tackle they needed.

"Sid, I think we have everything now," Eddie said.

Sid added up the items and gave Eddie a slip to sign. "Your dad set up an account for you. I agreed to bill you once a month," Sid said.

"Thanks, Sid. Do you know any other manufactures that would want to sponsor us?" Eddie said.

"Are you kids going to fish the local and club tournaments?" Sid asked.

"Yes, we'll be fishing with our club like we always have," Brad said.

"Okay, then you have another sponsor. I can't do much, but I would like to be a sponsor too. I'll give you five hundred dollars a month in tackle, or anything I carry in the store," Sid said.

"Great! Thank you, Sid. Do you have a sign or something we can put on the boat?" Jack said. "We won't be able to have your name added to our shirts before the tournament."

"I don't have anything right now, but I'll think of something. We can talk when you kids get back from the Bahamas. If I don't see you, good luck!"

"Thanks, but we're going to depend on what we know, not luck. We're going to be fishing with some of the best teams around. I think we should do well even if we don't win," Eddie said.

"You have come a long way in a short time. I know men that have been fishing for years that don't do any better than you do," Sid said.

"We've had good teachers, you included. We know we don't know everything so we're willing to learn," Brad said.

The boys thanked Sid again. They gathered their things and left for the house. When they arrived, they found the girls sitting on the patio eating a snack. The boys told the girls about adding Sid's Tackle to their list of sponsors.

The guys ate some of the fruit and cheese the girls prepared. They talked about what they planned to do until dinner. While they talked, their moms came out with bags in hand.

"We picked up a few things for you kids," Ellen said. "The owner of my store said she wanted to contribute to the team."

Ellen, Sarah, Marge, and Anne pulled the contents out of the bags and placed them on the table. They showed the teens the pullover collared tee shirts, shorts, skirts for the girls, and slacks. Each of the kids received three outfits, all matching. The outfits were white, navy, and hunter green.

"We thought you guys would like to have clothes for the boat. They all match because you're a team all the time, not just when you're fishing," Sarah said.

Molly looked at the things and then at the women. She smiled and thanked them. "I can't wait to show my mom these things," Molly said.

"I've already seen them," Laura said, causing Molly to jump. "I went shopping with them."

Molly squealed, got up and gave her mom a hug. She didn't say anything for a moment as she tried to control her emotions. Laura hugged her daughter and said, "I have a few other things for you too, Honey."

Laura handed her daughter a bag. Molly pulled out several camisoles and a bikini. When she looked at the suit, she blushed. It was one of the micro bikinis like the other girls had. She thanked her mom and hugged her again.

Whispering in her daughter's ear, Laura said, "I bought a new bikini for me too. It isn't quite as small as yours, but it's sexy."

Molly giggled and nodded. "I can't wait to see you in it, Mom. I'll bet Joel will like it too."

"I hope he does, that's why I bought it. I want to be stylish while we're in the Bahamas," Laura said.

Kim gathered up the new clothes. She took them in the house so she could wash and dry them.

"We're going to put the new tackle away," Eddie said as he and the other guys headed for the boat.

The girls went with them to see what they bought and where they put it. Eddie and Jack put the things away. Brad picked up a short length of line, handed it to Sally and said, "Tie me a bowline."

Sally quickly tied the knot. She showed it to Brad and smiled. After untying the knot, Sally said, "what next?'

Brad listed a few knots and Sally tied them. He gave the line to Molly and told her to tie the same knots Sally had tied. Once Molly finished, she gave the line to Kim. Kim tied the knots and then Sally took the line from her.

Tossing the line to Brad, Sally giggled and said, "Here, tie me up!"

"Don't tempt me, I might," Brad said with a smile.

"She'd love you for it," Jack said as he patted Sally's bottom. "Wouldn't you, Sweetie."

Sally giggled and nodded.

The teens leaned against the gunwale and looked around. "This is great! I can't wait to go fishing," Tom said. "Everyone wait here, I want to get my camera."

Tom ran to the house, returning with his camera. He posed the group and took their picture. Using his tripod and the self-timer, he took a few shots of all of them. Tom went though the boat, taking pictures of it. He used two rolls of film before he finished.

"We should start a scrapbook," Molly said.

"That's a great idea, Hun. Tom can take the pictures," Kathy said. She giggled and bumped against Molly. "We want a few nudes of you, don't we, Eddie?"

"Hell yeah! I want one of the two of you together," Eddie said.

"They won't develop pictures like that, will they?" Molly asked.

"There are places that will, but it doesn't matter, I have a darkroom in Michigan. I have to ask my dad if I can move it down here," Tom said.

"That means you can develop anything, doesn't it?" Eddie said.

"Yup, anything you want. I do color too," Tom replied.

"Maybe they don't want to be photographed naked," Kim said.

"I don't care as long as the pictures don't end up on the internet," Jenny said.

"It doesn't bother me either," Kathy said. She turned to Molly and smiled. "How about you, Hun?"

Molly blushed and shrugged her shoulders. She found the idea exciting, but didn't know if she was brave enough.

"I won't take any of you if you don't want me to," Tom told Molly.

Giggling, Molly said, "I don't know, maybe. Besides, who would want to see them anyway?"

The rest of the group raised their hands and laughed. Tom smiled at Molly and said, "I know I would like to see them."

Molly blushed and pressed her face against Eddie's chest. He chuckled and held her. "Honey, I think I can speak for everyone and say there's only one person on this boat that doesn't think you're sexy and cute. That would be you."

Jack moved closer to Molly. He gave her butt a pat and said, "Eddie's right, Molly."

Don called from the patio. He told the kids it was almost time for dinner. They went to the house and asked what they could do to help.

"You could set the tables, we're having twenty six for dinner," Don said.

The girls went in to get the place settings while the boys shifted the tables around. They all helped set the tables. The adults came out of the house and began milling around. Yoshi stood at the grill, preparing the meal.

When he served diner, everyone dined on the skewers of shrimp and fresh vegetables Yoshi prepared. They ate the fresh rolls Laura baked and praised the food. After dinner, Laura served homemade cheery tarts.

"That food was amazing," Molly said.

"I know! You can see why we hired Yoshi as our chef," Kim said. "Molly, your mom should own a bakery. Her things are to die for."

"Mom dreams about it, but she could never afford to own a bakery. It takes a lot of money to start and run one," Molly said.

The teens cleared the tables. Don and Marc served drinks.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Penny called for you today," Laura told Molly.

"I'll call her back in a few minutes. After we finish cleaning up," Molly replied.

"Why don't you invite your friend over?" Kim said.

"You wouldn't mind?" Molly said.

"Heck no. The more the merrier. Tell her to bring her suit so she can go swimming with us," Sally said.

"Thanks, but she's probably going out with Walt, her boyfriend," Molly said.

"Tell her to bring him too," Kim said.

Molly called Penny. After talking to her friend for a few minutes, she hung up. "She and Walt are going to come over." Molly giggled. "I didn't tell her about the boat."

Working as a team, the teens rinsed the dishes and put them in the dishwashers. They wiped the tables and cleaned up.

"They seem to be working well together, don't they?" Ellen Shockley said.

"Yes they do. It's good to see them like this. I know our kids are really looking forward to moving down here," Anne said.

"When are you planning to move?" Sarah Waters asked.

"We were planning to move down in the fall, but I think that may change now. If our kids are going to be fishing with yours, we'll have to move sooner," Marge said. "I can't say I mind. I really like it down here."

"It gets hotter than hell in the summer months," Ellen said. "We spend most of the time indoors."

"Like us in the winter," Anne said. "We spend most of the time indoors when it's cold."

"I never thought about it like that, but I guess you're right," Sarah said.

"Don and Marc have a couple projects going in Michigan, but now that we have access to the planes, it won't be too bad for them," Marge said.

"What kind of projects?" Laura asked.

"They're building a subdivision and they have a golf course," Anne said.

"Sounds like they're busy," Laura said.

Marge chuckled and said, "It gives them something to do with their time. Since they quit working they need something to keep them out of our hair."

"When do you plan to leave for the Bahamas on Friday?" Laura asked.

"As soon as everyone is ready. Our husbands will fly down in the morning to check into the hotel. We'll fly down in the late afternoon," Marge said.

"I can be ready by four. I talked to the family I work for and they said they would have someone there early. I should get off at three," Laura said.

The women talked about their trip. At another table, the men talked about the projects they were involved with at that time. Joel listened so he could handle some of the things in Florida.

Molly checked the time. When it was close to when Penny said she and Walt would get there, she went outside to wait for them. Sally went with her to keep her company.

"You're so funny, Sally. You cracked me up today when you told Brad to tie you up," Molly said.

Sally giggled and nodded. "You need to quit worrying about things so much, Molly. I think you're very nice. I think you're very sexy too." Sally giggled again. "If Jack would let me, I'd try to seduce you."

Molly giggled too. "Why do you have to get his permission?" Molly blushed and lowered her voice. "I wouldn't mind if you did try."

"Jack and I have an agreement. We already told you about it. It isn't a joke, not to me. I don't do much unless Jack tells me to, or I can."

"He doesn't seem to treat you bad or anything."

"Jack? He treats me like a princess. He loves me and I love him. Jack doesn't have to treat me bad unless I'm bad. Then he punishes me."

Molly gave Sally a strange look.

"When I'm bad, I get spanked."

"Oh, Um—Kathy did that once when we were fooling around. It kind of excited me," Molly said, blushing again.

"It drives me nuts! I think I could cum from getting spanked."

"Really, have you ever done that?"

"Not yet, but I've been close a couple times." Sally giggled. "I guess I'll have to be bad more often. Jack doesn't really like spanking me, but he's learning."

"What would you have done if Brad tied you up?" Molly asked with a grin.

"If Jack didn't say anything, Brad could have done anything he wanted to do."

"Even—you know?"

"Why not? It's just sex and I happen to like sex," Sally said without blinking an eye.

"You sound like Kathy. How can you guys take sex for granted like you do?"

"I don't take it for granted. Like I said, I love sex! It's not as if I'm going to fall in love with a guy just because he screws me or I suck his cock. I have to like someone, but I don't have to love them. I love Jack."

"I wish I could be more like you guys. I'm so scared all the time," Molly said.

"You'd be a lot better off just being yourself. Not everyone can do the things we do. You have to forget about jealousy and shit like that. If I fool around with someone other than Jack, I'm not doing it to hurt him or piss him off. I know he isn't trying to hurt me if he does it with someone else."

Sally put her arm around Molly and said, "Look, the most important thing is you only do what you want to do. Don't do anything that makes you uncomfortable and don't let other people talk you into something. It's ALWAYS up to you."

"How will I know if I like something or not if I don't try? I mean, I never thought I would like another girl until Kathy and I fooled around."

"That's a tough one. I know I get a feeling if it's something that I don't think I'd like." Sally giggled. "I don't get that feeling very often."

Penny and Walt pulled in the driveway, halting the conversation between Molly and Sally. Before Molly went to meet her friends, Sally told her they would talk later.

"Hi, Penny, hi, Walt, did you have any trouble finding the house?" Molly said when the couple got out of the car.

"No, your directions were right on, Molly," Walt said.

Molly grabbed Sally by the arm. "Penny, Walt, this is Sally. She lives here."

"Hi, Sally," Walt and Penny said at the same time.

"I don't live here yet, but I will soon. Come with us. The rest of us are on the patio," Sally said.

Sally led Penny and Walt into the house. She and Molly gave them a quick tour before they went outside. Once the very brief introductions were finished, Molly grabbed Penny's arm.

"Come on, I want to show you our boat," Molly said.

Penny looked at Molly and scrunched her forehead. Walt looked at her strangely too. Molly giggled and pulled Penny toward the boat. The rest of the teens got up and followed them.

"What are you talking about, Molly. Whose boat is this," Walt said as they stepped into the cockpit.

"It's our boat, just like Molly told you it was," Eddie said. "We're the new Lady Guinevere fishing team. It's the team's boat."

"Isn't this the boat you guys were designing?" Penny said.

Jenny laughed and said, "Yeah, we just didn't know we were designing it for us."

"Molly, give your friends a tour of the boat? We can talk when you're finished," Jack said.

Molly nodded and almost bounced up and down. She led Walt and Penny into the salon. As they looked around, Molly's friends made comments about the boat.

Molly led them down to the staterooms. She opened the door to the room she shared with Kathy and Eddie.

"This is our room. Kathy, Eddie's, and mine. Isn't it dreamy?" Molly said.

"Molly, just how rich are these people?" Walt asked.

"I don't know. They are the nicest people in the world though. They made me part of the team because Eddie is my boyfriend and Kathy is my girlfriend. They're even taking my mom to the Bahamas for the tournament—on their plane," Molly said.

"They have a plane too?" Penny said.

"Mr. Graham and Mr. Lewis don't really own the planes. It has something to do with their businesses. It doesn't matter, they're nice and they don't act all rich and stuff," Molly said.

Molly showed Penny and Walt the remaining staterooms. When Penny asked why no one was in the other large stateroom, Molly told them it was for guests.

"I'm surprised the kids from Michigan didn't take the two larger rooms," Walt said. "Wasn't it their parents' money that bought the boat?'

"They're not like that. You'll see once you get to know them. Come with me, I'll take you up to the bridge," Molly said.

The three teens used the spiral stairs to go from the salon to the enclosed flying bridge. Molly started telling her friends about the electronics on the helm.

"You know about all this stuff?" Penny said.

"I'm learning about it. Eddie says we all have to learn how to operate the boat and know everything about it," Molly said proudly.

Molly showed them the sundeck. Walt climbed up the tuna tower to look around from that height. When they went to the cockpit, Molly took them down into the crew's quarters and then the engine room.

Walt shook his head as Molly pointed out the engines, the generators, the watermaker, and the other equipment.

"Why do you need to make water?" Penny asked.

"The watermaker converts seawater to freshwater. It will make twelve hundred gallons a day," Molly said, feeling proud that she remembered what Eddie told her.

Penny, Walt, and Molly went up to the cockpit. The rest of the group leaned against the gunwales or sat on the mezzanine waiting for them to return.

"How do you like it?" Jenny asked.

"It's unbelievable. I can't get over how much Molly knows about the boat," Walt said.

"It's very important we all know. Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy are teaching the rest of us everything," Tom said. "It's been fun for me."

"When are you guys going fishing again? Hint, hint," Walt said.

"We're taking her out tomorrow. We're not going to do a lot of fishing because some of us still have a lot to learn. You guys are welcome to come for a boat ride if no one else cares," Jack said.

When no one protested, Jack said, "Looks like you two are in. It might be boring though."

Penny giggled and said, "Yeah, I can see how spending a day on this boat getting sun can be boring. Bore me to death!"

Everyone laughed at what Penny said. When she said she needed to call home, Jack handed her a cell phone. Penny called home to see if she could go the next day. Smiling, she hung up and handed the cell phone to Walt. "I can go. Call your dad and see if you can go too."

Walt called home to let his parents know he was planning to go fishing. He handed the cell phone to Jack and nodded. The teens decided it was time to go swimming. They left the boat and went to change into their suits. Penny asked where they were going to change. Kim told her they could use the cabana.

The kids got their suits and gathered in the cabana. Don told the contractor to redo the cabana. He felt there was too much wasted space. Now, instead of the two small changing rooms and one mid sized one, there were two large ones. Each of the changing rooms had a separate bathroom. There were counters and sinks in the changing area outside the tiled shower rooms. Each of the showers contained multiple showerheads on chrome hoses, and a tile bench along one of the walls.

"Which one is the boys and which is the girls?" Penny asked.

"It doesn't matter, they're both the same. At home we all use the same one," Kim said. She giggled and pointed at one of the doors. "That's the girls, the other one is unisex."

Everyone laughed at Kim. They divided into two groups and went into the rooms to change. Molly, Sally, Jack, Penny, and Walt went into the one Kim said was the girls', the rest went into the other changing room.

"Hey, this is supposed to be for the girls," Molly said to Jack.

Jack pulled off his shorts and boxers as he said, "I am a girl," in a high-pitched voice. Molly glanced down and grinned.

"Oh no you're not!" Molly said in a whisper.

Molly undressed. When she was naked, Jack scanned her body. "You are certainly all girl, Molly," Jack said.

Jack, Sally, and Molly went into the shower. Jack turned on the master valve so all the showerheads started. Penny and Walt came and the five of them took a quick shower.

"Your mom is going to shoot you, Molly. Where did you get a suit like that?" Penny said as Molly pulled the thong bottom of her suit on.

"I don't think she'll be mad at me," Molly said, not bothering to mention the fact her mom bought her the suit.

The teens met out by the pool. While they were standing near the edge, the adults came out with their suits in hand. Laura stopped to talk to Molly.

"Cute suit, Molly. I should have gotten one just like it when I bought yours. Oh, hi Penny, nice to see you again. This must be Walt," Laura said.

"Um, yeah, this is Walt. Walt, this is Mrs. Durham, Molly's mom," Penny said.

Walt shook hands with Molly's mom. She smiled at her daughter and went into the cabana. Molly turned around in time to see her mom go into one of the changing rooms with Joel, Kathy's parents, Don, Anne, and Jeri. She giggled and moved over to Penny.

"Your mom bought you that suit? Oh my God, what's happening?" Penny said.

"Mom and I are getting along much better lately. Her boyfriend is here today too. I'll introduce you to Joel later," Molly said.

The teens jumped into the pool. While they swam and splashed, the adults joined them. Molly giggled when she saw her mom in a bikini. She could remember her mom in a conservative two-piece suit when she was younger, but not in the last five years.

The adults joined the teens in the pool. They stayed to themselves for the most part, but Molly did want to say something to her mom. She swam over to where her mom stood talking to Marge and Sarah.

"Thanks for the bikini, Mom. I love it! Your suit is cool too," Molly said.

Laura grinned and said, "It isn't too risqué, is it?"

"No, Mom, it's great. You'd look good in one like mine."

Sarah, who also wore a bikini much like Laura's, chuckled and said, "We should get micro bikinis for the Bahamas. I'm sure the men would appreciate it if we did."

"Might as well, I just took a shower with a room full of people. The last time I did anything like that was in high school, and that was all girls. I think my daughter's friends are corrupting me," Laura said.

Molly giggled and said, "Just don't do anything you don't want to do, Mom."

"Okay smarty pants. Go play with your friends," Laura said as she laughed.

Molly went over to where Eddie and Sally were talking. She snuggled against Eddie, giggling when he put his arm around her. "Nice suit, Baby."

"Thanks, I'm glad you like it, Sweetheart," Molly replied.

"I like what's in it too," Eddie said.

Molly grinned, pulled the triangles of the top aside and flashed her breasts at Eddie. She recovered her breasts and giggled. "I showed you mine, now you show me yours," Molly said.

Eddie laughed and acted like he was pulling a top away. He thrust his chest out and then acted as if he were covering himself. Molly gave him a playful smack on the arm.

Penny and Walt came over to talk to Molly. The teens began chatting about the pool and the house.

A little while later, the teens began climbing out of the water. They sat on the lounges that lined one side of the pool while the adults sat in the lounges on the other side. Don came over and asked if any of them wanted a soda or something else to drink. When they all said they would have sodas, Don laughed and headed for the house.

"Who was that?" Penny whispered to Molly.

"Mr. Graham, Jack and Kim's dad. He's the owner. Him, and Sally and Tom's parents. Come with me, I'll introduce you and Walt to them," Molly said.

Penny fidgeted with her suit as she followed Molly to the other side of the pool. When Penny and Walt arrived, Molly had given them a very quick introduction, but she wanted her friends to meet the adults again.

Molly led Penny and Walt to where her mom and Joel sat. "Penny, Walt, you know my mom. This is her boyfriend, Joel."

Joel stood up to greet the two kids. They chatted for a moment and then moved on. Molly took her friends down the line of lounges, introducing them to each of the adults. Everyone acted warm and friendly.

"Wow! That was something else. How do you remember all of their names?" Penny said.

"I don't know. I just do. Aren't they all so nice?" Molly said.

"Everyone seems very friendly, that's for sure," Walt said. He leaned close to Molly and whispered so only Molly and Penny could hear him. "Those Michigan kids don't act stuck up at all."

"They're not!" Molly said.

"Do you think we can try to catch at least one or two fish tomorrow while we're practicing?" Kim said so everyone could hear her.

"That's up to Jenny, she's the captain," Tom said.

"Why am I the captain?" Jenny said.

"I remember that from the time we went to the fishing club meeting," Tom said. "They said you were the captain of the team. You guys have done well so far so why change anything. Anyone disagree?"

"Tom's right, Jenny should remain the captain of the team," Jack said.

"Okay, but we should discuss important things among us. I'll be the captain for the tournaments, but we're a team. If we need to make a decision, we vote on it." Jenny giggled and said, "I vote we spend a couple hours fishing, but only after we've practiced getting the lines set and stuff."

"You never know, we might raise a fish when we're practicing. If we do, we can offer the fish a hooked lure," Kathy said.

The group decided they would fish and practice. Jack said they should get out by six thirty and everyone agreed. Eddie suggested they sleep on the boat. After a very brief discussion, they all agreed to that too.

"Hey, Mom, can I stay on the boat tonight? We're leaving at six thirty tomorrow morning," Molly yelled across the pool.

"Sure, Honey," Laura yelled back.

Penny shook her head. "I can't believe how cool your mom is."

"I told you we were getting along better—great in fact," Molly said. "Do you think your mom will let you stay tonight? I'll ask the others if you think she will."

"I can ask. Do you think you can stay, Walt?" Penny said.

"I don't see why not. I have to call, but I think my parents will let me stay," Walt said. "What are we going to do about clothes?"

"We can wear what we have, can't we?" Penny said.

"We can do a load of laundry if you want to." Molly signaled for Kathy to come over. She told Kathy about asking Penny and Walt to stay and asked if they could do a load of laundry.

"It's fine with me, Hun. Let me ask the others," Kathy said. She moved close to Eddie and asked, making sure everyone could hear her.

The rest of the teens nodded and said Penny and Walt were welcome to stay. Kathy went around the pool to make sure their plans were okay with their parents. When Sarah heard what Kathy proposed, she offered to call Penny's mom.

A few minutes later, it was set. All of the kids would stay on the boat for the first time and they would go out first thing in the morning. Don came over to ask the teens if they wanted to eat breakfast on the boat or in the house. When they couldn't decide, Don told them breakfast would be ready at six o'clock.

At nine thirty, the teens changed out of their suits, told the parents goodnight and headed for the boat. Jenny said she would do a load of laundry for anyone that needed it. They all went down to the staterooms to change and put on what they would sleep in. Molly gave Penny a pair of panties to wear. Eddie gave Walt a pair of his boxers. Jenny went from room to room, collecting the dirty clothes in a basket.

The teens went up to the salon to watch television. The contractor connected the cable television to the pier so the yacht would have use of it. Eddie and Tom went outside and connected it to the boat.

"Where is the television?" Penny asked as she glanced around the salon.

Jenny walked over to a cabinet, pushed a button and the large flat-screen television rose from the cabinet. She took the remote from a drawer and turned it on. Jenny found a movie they all agreed on and turned up the volume.

The teens lounged around the salon watching television and talking about the next day. Eddie said they should run out to the drop off and try there if they wanted to catch billfish. Jenny checked the time and went down to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer.

It was close to eleven when Eddie stood up. He took Kathy and Molly by the hand and told everyone goodnight. They went down to their stateroom and went inside. Molly shifted nervously. It was the first time since they became a threesome that they would share a bed.

Eddie winked at Kathy. He moved over to Molly, put his arms around her and gave her a kiss. Molly moaned and melted in his arms. He pulled her tee shirt over her head and knelt to remove Molly's panties. After removing his shirt and boxers, Eddie led her to bed. Kathy lay naked waiting for them.

Moving Molly to the middle of the bed, Eddie kissed her again. He removed his mouth, turned her head and Kathy kissed her. The three of them began kissing and running their hands over each other.

Eddie moaned when Kathy took his penis in her mouth. Molly moved up and straddled his head, lowering her crotch to Eddie's mouth. After a few moments, Kathy took Molly in her arms. She pulled her off Eddie and went down to kiss her sex. Eddie kissed Molly while Kathy licked her vulva. He moved up, offering Molly his erection. She licked him before taking his member in her mouth.

The bed was a mass of squirming bodies. Kathy pushed Eddie on his back and said, "Get on his cock, Hun. I want to watch you two fuck."

Molly scrambled up and lowered herself on Eddie's penis. She put her hands on his chest to support herself as she worked her vagina over his member. Kathy sat back for a moment and watched Molly moving up and down. She moved behind Molly, put her arms around her and began fondling her breasts. Molly threw her head back. Kathy kissed Molly while she moved on Eddie.

"Fuck our boyfriend good, Hun. When he comes in you, I'm going to eat your pussy. You can suck Eddie's cock and get it nice and hard for me," Kathy whispered in Molly's ear.

Kathy moved one hand down Molly's body. She found the girl's clit and began gently rubbing it. Kathy could feel Eddie's slick penis against her fingertips as Molly moved. Eddie grabbed Molly's sides and began thrusting up into her.

Kathy removed her hand from Molly's breast and moved it to her bottom. She caressed Molly's cheeks while kissing her ear. Kathy moved her hand between Molly's legs and felt Eddie's penis. She collected some of the juices flowing from Molly, dragging the slick fluid up to her anus. Molly groaned, lowered her head and kissed Eddie while Kathy teased her anus.

"Oh my God," Molly moaned when Kathy pressed a finger into the rectum. Molly's body jerked and quivered as her climax ripped though her. Kathy started moving her finger in Molly's rectum, pressing down on Eddie's penis as it moved in her vagina.

"Give it to her, Eddie, make her come again," Kathy said.

Eddie thrust up into Molly as she rocked against him. Kathy kept her finger moving in Molly's anus while using her other hand to strum the overheated girl's clitoris. Eddie found Molly's mouth with his. He stuck his tongue into Molly's mouth as he pushed up into her and began to ejaculate. Kathy increased the speed of both hands, sending Molly into a sexual frenzy.

Molly collapsed on Eddie. He rubbed her back and kissed her neck while she gasped for breath. Kathy removed her hands and stretched out on her back, her head between Eddie's knees. Glancing around Molly, Eddie saw what Kathy was doing. He chuckled and pushed down on Molly's shoulders. Molly kissed his chin and began working her way down his body.

Kathy put her hands on Molly's hips, pulling her down to her mouth. She licked the length of Molly's vulva, causing her to wiggle. Molly settled on Kathy's face and took Eddie's penis in her mouth. She slurped the mixed fluids off his shaft while Kathy pushed her tongue into her vagina. When Kathy began playing with Molly's anus again, Molly dropped her head. Eddie's penis went to the back of Molly's throat, gagging her.

Eddie realized what happened. He grabbed Molly's head, lifting it up so she stopped her gagging. She looked up, removed his hardening member from her mouth, and smiled. Her face contorted when Kathy penetrated her anus. Molly let out a groan, took Eddie's penis in her mouth and began sucking him again. Eddie released the grip on Molly's head. She went down, trying to take all of Eddie in her mouth again. Molly gagged, but didn't stop trying.

Molly had to stop sucking on Eddie when she began to climax. She rose up and wiggled against Kathy's face. Eddie moved away so he could watch. Kathy finally moved out from under Molly. Molly rolled on her side and pulled her legs up to her chest. Eddie took Kathy's hand, pulled her to him and gave her a big kiss.

"I think our girlfriend is happy—are you, Honey?" Eddie said.

"Yes, I'm very happy. I'm happy with having Molly with us now." Kathy kissed Eddie and giggled. "I'll be even happier when you fuck me and make me come."

Eddie rolled Kathy on her back. He moved over her, dropping his head to her breast. Kathy held Eddie's head while he suckled her nipple. Molly rolled on her side to watch Eddie and Kathy. She realized she felt filled with love, not jealousy. Moving closer, she lowered her head to Kathy's other breast.

Placing his hands on the bed, Eddie pushed himself up. He left room for Molly's head as he positioned his penis at Kathy's opening. He felt a hand, looked between his and Kathy's body and watched Molly guiding his member into Kathy's vagina. Eddie stroked in and out of Molly's hand and Kathy's vagina. Molly removed her hand and he pushed all the way in.

Molly sat on the bed next to Kathy and Eddie, watching them coupled together. She couldn't help running her hand up and down his back or over his ass. Molly left her hand on Eddie's bottom, feeling him moving up and down. Kathy pulled her legs up, pressing her knees against his sides.

Eddie stroked his penis in and out of Kathy for fifteen minutes. He wrapped his arms around her back, rolled over and looked up into her face. Molly moved behind Kathy, reached around her and started to play with her breasts. She kissed the back of Kathy's neck and sighed.

"I love you, both of you," Molly said in a whisper.

Kathy turned her head, smiled and said, "I love you too, Hun."

Molly kissed her and then smiled. "You better fuck him good or I'll knock you off and do it myself."

Kathy giggled, looked down at Eddie and began to move faster. Eddie pushed up, causing their bodies to slap together. Ten minutes later, Eddie felt Kathy's vagina grip his penis. He grabbed her hips and thrust up, screwing her as she climaxed. A few moments later, Eddie came too. Molly dove between Kathy's legs the moment she rolled off Eddie. She sucked and licked Kathy, savoring the taste of the semen and vaginal fluids that coated her tongue.

Eddie watched Molly and Kathy. He smiled as he thought about how lucky he was to be with two wonderful girls. His misgivings about the arrangement dissolved and he felt joyous. Molly brought Kathy to another orgasm. When Kathy wiggled away from Molly, Molly began sucking Eddie's penis.

"We need to shower," Kathy said. "We're all sweaty."

"Not to mention well fucked," Molly said with a giggle.

Molly, Kathy, and Eddie went into the head. They got into the shower and began washing each other. The two girls knelt so they could wash Eddie's genitals together. When they finished in the shower, they dried off and went back to bed. Molly and Kathy changed the sheets, giggling while they talked about needing to put more sheets in the staterooms.

When they climbed in bed, Kathy snuggled with Molly. She twisted her head, kissed Eddie and said, "Do you mind?"

Eddie shook his head and kissed both the girls before saying, "Goodnight, I love you two," rolling over and closing his eyes.

"I love you too," Molly said. "I love both of you so much."

"This is as close to perfect as it can get, isn't it? I love you guys with all my heart," Kathy said.

Kathy and Molly lay on their sides facing each other. They embraced and began kissing. Their little pecks turned into full-blown, open-mouthed kisses. They touched one another and moaned.

Eddie smiled as he listened to Kathy and Molly's moans, whispers and kisses. He scooted closer to Kathy, pressing his bottom against hers. A few minutes later, they were all sleeping.

Chapter 30

Alarms began going off at five fifteen. Jenny crawled over Brad, giving him a kiss before she climbed out of bed. She went to the head and then down to the crew's quarters to get the clothes out of the dryer. Jenny went back to the staterooms and began opening doors. She woke anyone that was sleeping.

"Okay you two lovebirds, up and at'em. We have to get going," Jenny said as she placed Penny and Walt's things on the bed.

Penny sat up, rubbed her eyes and smiled at Jenny. "We're up. Walt and I will be ready in a few minutes."

"Cool. Did you two sleep well?" Jenny asked.

Penny giggled and got out of bed naked. She winked at Jenny and said, "We had a wonderful night."

"We even got some sleep," Walt said as he sat up.

Jenny laughed and left the room. She went to Eddie's stateroom and woke the sleeping trio. Brad came in and started chuckling. Eddie got up and walked into the head. Kathy and Molly sat up and said, "Good morning."

The teens showered and dressed. Jenny made coffee for anyone that wanted a cup. At six o'clock, they headed to the house for breakfast.

Molly, Penny, and Walt were shocked when they walked into the kitchen and saw Mr. Graham in his boxers and a tee shirt. They were stunned when Marge came in wearing a tank top and panties. When Molly's mom came around the corner dressed as Marge was, Molly gasped.

"Um, Mom, what are you doing here this morning?" Molly said as she stared.

Laura smiled and said, "We stayed last night. We all partied a bit too much so Marge asked Joel and I to stay so we didn't have to drive home. I decided to get up and make an apple strudel for you, kids. We went shopping yesterday and I picked up what I'd need."

Laura pulled a tray out of the oven. She placed it on top of the stove so the four strudels would cool. Molly walked over to her mom and kissed her cheek.

"What was that for?" Laura asked her daughter.

"For being the best mom in the world, that's what. I can't believe what I'm seeing," Molly said.

"Then I would have floored you last night." Laura chuckled and moved closer to Molly. "We all went skinny-dipping. You were right, it's a blast!"

Molly giggled and shook her head. She walked to the table and sat with the rest of her friends. Kim and Sally brought cereal, milk, and bowls to the table. The teens filled their bowls and began to eat. Laura cut the strudels, placed the slices on a plate and took them to the table.

Anne, Marc, and Joel came into the kitchen. They joined the other adults at the counter, and ate strudel and drank coffee. They talked about the impromptu party and the fun they all had.

Don placed a box on the table. "These came for you, kids," Don said.

Jack opened the box and began pulling out the contents. "Sunglasses?" Jack said.

"They're polarized sunglasses. Andy dropped them off yesterday but I forgot to give them to you, kids," Don said.

Jack passed the box around the table so each of the teens could take a pair of the sunglasses and a neck strap. When everyone had a pair of glasses, there were still several left in the box.

"We have six pairs left. We can keep them on the boat for our guests," Jack said.

The teens finished eating. They rinsed their dishes and put them in the dishwasher. After saying goodbye, they left for the boat. While walking toward the boat, Kathy put her arm around Molly's waist.

Molly giggled and said, "I know, I know, I'll get used to it! I can't remember my mom running around the house in her undies, even when we're home alone."

"She looked happy, Hun," Kathy said.

"Mom looked like she was walking on air. She told me they went skinny-dipping last night."

"Wait until our parents take her to a nude beach," Kathy said as she pulled Molly closer.

Laura watched her daughter and Kathy. She smiled, knowing how happy Molly was lately. Her only concern was what would happen if the bubble burst. Sarah came over to Laura and sat down. She put her hand on the woman's arm and chuckled.

"They're cute together, aren't they?" Sarah said.

Laura nodded her head. "It's still a little hard for me, but Molly is so happy."

"There are worse things in life for kids their age. We have never had to pick them up at the police department. They all get good grades, and when they're on the boat, we know where they are," Sarah said.

"Molly never really got into any trouble, but I worried when she went out with her last boyfriend. I had a strange feeling about that boy. Know what I mean?"

"Not really, but I understand. Since Brad and Kathy started hanging around with Jenny and Eddie, I haven't had to worry. Now they have new friends and I think it's going to work out for them. Kim, Sally, Tom, and Jack are a lot like our kids. They're polite and don't get into trouble," Sarah said.

"They better not get into trouble. I'll tan their hides if they do," Marge said.

Laura chuckled and then said, "I'll bet you would too."

The women sat at the table drinking coffee. Don and Marc stood at the counter with Joel and sampled the strudel.

"This is very good, Laura. You have a knack for baking," Don said. He took another bite of the flakey pastry.

"It comes from the years I spent in a bakery, Don. I love baking, but don't get to do it as often as I used to. Molly and I can only eat so much of it," Laura said.

"You can come over and bake for us anytime you want to," Marge said. "I guess we'll have to start working out like our kids if you do."

The adults heard the engines of the boat. They gathered at the large windows to watch the kids pull away. Laura felt Joel's arm around her waist. She glanced up and smiled when she saw Molly and Sally untying the lines.

"I still can't believe how rapidly Molly changed," Laura said.

Joel pulled Laura closer to him. "It seems her mother has changed too. For the better I might add," Joel whispered.

The adults watched the boat pull away from the seawall. They cleared the table and then headed back to their bedrooms. None of them felt it was necessary to be up that early.

On the boat, Eddie helped Tom move the boat out into the canal. He gave Tom instructions on how to maneuver using the transmissions and the bow-thruster. Jack stood next to his cousin and listened.

"That was good, Tom. You'll learn to make smother transitions with practice. It takes time to get the feel of any boat," Eddie said.

"It's different being enclosed. I think it would be easier with an open flying bridge," Tom said as he guided the boat toward the right side of the channel.

"I know it is. When we had the side curtains up on the other boat, it was different from when the bridge was open. The boat doesn't respond any differently, but it feels strange. We thought about an open flying bridge for this boat, but decided having an enclosed bridge would make it more versatile. It's better for running in bad weather," Eddie said.

Sally came up to the bridge with a carafe of fresh coffee and three cups. She placed the coffee on the chart table and filled the cups for Tom, Jack, and Eddie.

"Here you go, Tom," Sally said as she handed her brother a cup.

Tom turned his head, kissed Sally and said, "Thanks, Sis."

Sally giggled and gave Jack his coffee. He gave her a kiss when he thanked her. When Sally gave Eddie a cup, he kissed her too. "Thanks, Sally," Eddie said and then he chuckled.

Sally snuggled against Jack and said, "Do you guys need anything else?"

"No, we're fine, Baby. Thanks again for the coffee. What's everyone else doing?" Jack said.

"We're getting the rods ready. Jenny and Kathy are showing us how to rig again," Sally said. "If you're all set, I'm going to go back—okay?"

Jack gave Sally a hug and told her to go. She giggled, bounced down the steps and went to the cockpit to resume what she had been doing.

"What's the plan for today?" Brad asked as he and Walt came up to the bridge.

"I think we should practice getting the lines out and using the outriggers," Eddie replied.

"Are we going to use lures or live bait for the tournament?" Brad said.

"The rules say we can use either. I guess it would be a good idea to use live bait," Eddie said.

"We should get some so we can teach these guys how to rig them."

"You're right, Brad, we should," Eddie said and then he told Tom where to head so they could buy bait.

"Do you ever catch your own bait? Jeri showed us how to throw a cast net when we were down here before," Jack said.

"We've never tried catching our own bait. It's hard to throw a cast net from a large boat," Eddie said.

"Jeri used a center console boat when she did it," Tom said. "Do you think we could use the Zodiac?"

"I don't see why not. We'll have to buy a cast net. We don't have one," Eddie said.

When Tom was close to the boat where Eddie and Brad bought bait, he told Eddie to take over. Eddie shook his head and coached Tom. Brad and Jack went to the cockpit to wait. Tom managed to get close enough so the man on the boat could throw Brad a line. With the two boats securely attached to each other, Eddie went down to talk to the man.

Jenny turned on the water to the bait tank while Eddie negotiated with the man for baitfish. Once they agreed, Eddie began placing the fish in the tank. Brad paid for the bait and thanked the man.

"Ahoy there!" the teens heard as they prepared to pull away. "I thought I recognized Little Bit on that boat."

"Hi, Nate, how's it going?" Jenny yelled back.

Nate motored closer to the Lady Guinevere. Brad tossed him a line and pulled Nate's boat along side. After placing fenders between the boats, Nate and Brad secured them.

"Where in the hell did you kids get this boat?" Nate asked as he stepped aboard.

"This is the new Lady Guinevere, Nate," Eddie said while shaking the man's callused hand. "Nate, these are our new team members, Jack, Sally, Tom, and Kim. They're from Michigan, but they're moving to Florida."

Nate shook hands with the teens as he glanced around the cockpit of the boat. He made himself at home and began opening cabinets and drawers. Brad and Jenny stayed close to Nate, telling him how they helped design the boat.

Jenny and Brad took Nate on a tour of the boat and then they all returned to the cockpit. Nate checked out the fighting chair and then said, "You kids taking her down to the Bahamas for the tournament?"

"Yes, we're heading out to practice right now," Eddie said.

"Hmmm, you ever fish out of a chair?" Nate said as he turned around and waved his hand toward the fighting chair.

"Not yet, but we plan to if we hook a big fish," Kathy said.

"Well, you better get some practice in the chair. It's a lot different from fishing with a harness. Have you read all the rules for the tourney yet?" Nate said.

All but Jenny shook their heads. Nate chuckled and said, "I should have known Little Bit had read them. When you fish, the one that hooks the fish is the only one that can touch the rod until you tag the fish. No one can help or touch anything. A mate can touch the leader, but not the rod, reel, or line. So, if you plan to use the chair you had better learn how to get in and strap in by yourselves.

"You should also learn how to fight a fish from the chair. You use your legs and back as much as your arms."

"We'll practice, Nate," Eddie said.

"Good. You can use a bucket to practice with if you want to. Tie one to a line and use it for drag while you get into the chair. It isn't as good as a fish, but it will give you an idea of how it feels.

"This is about the nicest convertible I've ever been on. You kids did a great job laying her out. I'd hate to know what something like this would cost," Nate said.

"We don't know how much it cost to build. Dad didn't tell us," Eddie said. "Did you hear we have sponsors?"

"Yeah, I heard. Just don't let that corporate money change the way you fish. You kids have a knack for it. Sometimes sponsors will want you to do things their way—don't! If they don't like the way you fish, dump them. I think you kids can earn enough money fishing that you don't need them," Nate said in his gruff voice.

"We won't let it affect the way we fish, Nate," Kathy said.

"No, I don't suppose you will. Well, I have to get going. I have to get my boat checked before I head south," Nate said. "You kids take care and have fun."

Nate climbed onto his boat. Brad untied the lines and pushed him off. The teens waved as Nate pulled away. The guys went up to the flying bridge and the girls stayed in the cockpit.

Jenny told Kim, Sally, Molly, and Penny that she and her brother had worked for Nate. She also told them how much they had learned.

"Nate sounds tough, but he's a real sweetheart," Jenny said. "Eddie and I learned so much from him."

"When are we going to start practicing?" Molly asked. "I want to learn everything I can."

"We'll start when we get out in the ocean. You guys are going to really love rigging the live bait," Kathy said.

"What can we do until then?" Molly asked.

"Why don't we go over the different rods and reels? I think I know what each one is for, but I want to be sure," Kim said.

Jenny held up one of the rods. Sally identified it and said what type of fishing you used it for and why. While Jenny held up each type of rod and reel, Kathy moved behind Molly. She put her arms around Molly and kissed her neck when she explained the use for one of the stout roller rods.

Molly turned her head and kissed Kathy tenderly. The two girls hugged one another and shared a few light pecks.

"I'm going in for coffee. Does anyone else want some?" Penny said.

"I do. I'll help you," Molly said. She kissed Kathy again and followed Penny into the cabin.

"How are things going with you, Kathy, and Eddie?" Penny asked Molly as they fixed coffee.

"Wonderful. You think I'm weird, don't you?" Molly replied.

"It's different, but if you're happy I guess I'll get used to it. I can't believe Kathy lets you have sex with Eddie."

"She doesn't let me, Penny. Eddie can make up his own mind. Kathy and I make love too and it doesn't bother Eddie."

"What's it like? I mean making it with a girl?" Penny asked, her face turning red from blushing.

"It's nice, very nice. It's way different than making love with Eddie. Kathy is so soft and tender. You should try it someday."

"Um, I don't think so, Molly. I have no interest in it and it doesn't do anything for me. I guess sex is better with Eddie than it was with Lenny then?"

"Penny, Lenny didn't know the first thing about sex or making love. Neither did I. It is so much nicer with Eddie and Kathy."

"Walt and I are getting better," Penny said and then she giggled. "I wish we had more time together so we could practice."

"You might not believe me, but just being with Eddie and Kathy is almost as good as having sex with them."

"I like being with Walt too, but I love having sex with him."

Molly and Penny giggled. They took the hot coffee out to the cockpit, passed out the cups and went back for theirs. Jenny called up to the flying bridge on the intercom and asked how long before they would be ready to start setting lines.

"We'll be ready in about twenty minutes, Jenny. Jack is at the helm and I want him to get comfortable going under a couple draw bridges before we head out," Eddie said.

Jenny acknowledged her brother and sat down on the mezzanine seat. Sally sat next to Jenny and leaned back.

"This is going to be great, isn't it? I can't wait for the tournament," Sally said.

"I'm looking forward to it too, Sally," Jenny said.

"How are we doing? You know, Kim, Jack, Tom, and me? If we screw up you have to tell us so we learn."

"You guys are doing fine, Sally. You all listen to what we say and don't act like you know everything. That's more than I can say for some of the other kids we've had on the boat."

"I hope you guys aren't upset at what my dad and uncle did. They can be strange sometimes," Sally said.

"I didn't say anything at first, but I was kind of upset when your uncle did what he did. I really like our boat. After thinking about it, and talking to my brother, I realized it was a chance of a lifetime. Now, I think it's wonderful. I don't think your uncle and dad are going to tell us what to do with the boat," Jenny said.

"They won't. When Uncle Don said the boat belonged to the team, he meant it. My dad and uncle are like that. If we decided to paint the boat pink, they wouldn't say a word. I'm really glad we all get along so well. I knew we would though. I knew it from the first time we went fishing together."

Jenny giggled and then said, "It seems we do have something in common—if you know what I mean. There aren't many people that would understand our relationships, are there?"

Sally shrugged her shoulders and grinned. Jenny smiled and put her hand on Sally's knee.

"Does Molly know about you and Eddie or Brad and Kathy?" Sally asked.

"I don't think so. I don't know if Eddie or Kathy told her yet or not. I guess she'll find out though, we don't really keep it a secret between us. My brother should tell her before she finds out some other way."

"Do you and Eddie still—you know?" Sally said.

Jenny giggled and said, "Not too much."

"Tom and I don't either, but I kind of miss it. My brother was the first guy I did it with."

"I remember you telling Kathy and me that. Eddie was my first too."

Sally glanced around the cockpit for a moment and then said, "I think Brad is cute."

Jenny laughed. "I think he thinks you're hot too."

"Really? What did he say?"

"He really didn't say anything, but I can tell by the way he looks at you. It doesn't bother me, Sally. You are hot!"

The boat moved out through the inlet. The engines roared and the boat came up on plane. Jenny patted Sally's leg and got up. She went up to the flying bridge to see what was going on.

Jack stood at the helm. Jenny asked how long before they would be ready to get started. Eddie put his arm on his sister's shoulder and said, "In a few. Are you guys ready?"

"Yes, but we need to rig some of the live bait. I thought we should wait so we could show everyone at the same time," Jenny replied.

"Okay, we'll slow down and run the boat from the cockpit in a few minutes. There isn't anyone else out here today," Eddie said.

Jenny went back down to the cockpit. Eddie told Jack where to steer and at what speed. Jack adjusted the throttles as he turned the wheel. Fifteen minutes later, Eddie told Jack so slow down and set the autopilot. Jack stayed at the helm while the rest of the boys went to the cockpit. Eddie turned on the monitors and then, using the intercom, he called for Jack.

"We have to make sure someone is paying attention to where we're going at all times. The autopilot is connected to the radar and will make corrections if there is something in front of us, but we still have to watch out," Eddie said.

"I can watch while you guys practice," Walt said.

"That would be cool for now, but later we have to learn to do it all ourselves," Brad said.

Brad showed Walt the controls, and how to make adjustments to the course, if it became necessary. When Walt was comfortable, Brad helped Eddie show Jack, Tom, Kim, Sally, and Molly how to rig the live baitfish.

"This isn't so bad," Sally said as she pressed a hook through the body of one of the eight-inch long fish.

Brad showed Sally the correct way to wire the fish to the leader. Each of the teens rigged several baitfish before they said they were ready to move on. Penny stood near Walt and watched her friends.

"Okay, time to rig lines," Jenny said. "We should divide into teams and then change team members."

For the next hour, the teens set line. They learned to lower and raise the hydraulic outriggers and attach lines with teasers to them. The teens changed teammates until everyone had an opportunity work with one another.

"Jack, Sally, come up to the tuna tower with me. I'll show you how to operate the boat from up there," Brad said.

Brad, Sally, and Jack climbed up the ladder to the tuna tower helm. Brad told Walt he was taking over the boat. He showed Jack and Sally how to turn on the electronics and how the controls worked. Brad let Sally use the joystick to steer so she would get the feel of how the boat reacted. Her movements were jerky at first, but after a few minutes, Sally smoothed them. Brad told Sally to make a series of gentle turns and then showed her how to use the transmissions to change the direction of the boat.

"There are times we have to back down on a fish. You need to reverse the props and back the boat toward the fish while it's being fought," Brad said. "Just remember that everything is backwards when you're facing aft. Oh, and don't forget to look forward too. You don't want to hit something."

Sally and Jack traded places. Brad helped Jack through the same exercises as Sally.

"It feels weird steering the boat while facing backwards," Jack said.

"Yes, but you have to be able to keep an eye on what's happening in the cockpit and when there's a fish on. Don't worry, you'll get used to it," Brad said.

"I like it up here. You can see everything," Sally said.

"Would you ask Tom and Kim to come up so they can take a turn?" Brad said after Jack had been steering for a half hour.

"Sure thing," Jack said. "Do you want coffee or something?"

"Coffee would be great, Jack, thanks," Brad replied.

Jack and Sally went down to the cockpit. Sally told Kim and Tom that Brad wanted them to go up to the tower and asked Kim to take Brad coffee.

Kim went into the cabin to get Brad a cup of coffee. She filled a travel mug and put the lid on so it wouldn't spill. Tom took the mug from Kim and carried it up to the elevated helm.

"Are we going to start fishing soon?" Walt asked Eddie.

"Yes, in a little while. Jack, Sally, and Molly need to take a turn in the chair first. Would you and Penny like to try out the chair? It's much different than using a harness," Eddie said.

"I want to try it," Penny said.

Eddie put the bucket over the transom. He let out about one hundred feet of line before flipping the lever on the large reel. Eddie handed the rod to Jack and began telling him what to do.

"We found that it's easier if you let the fish pull against the drag until you're in the chair, Jack. Just keep your thumb on the spool and let the fish take line. Remember, if it was a real fish you would have to make sure not to give it slack."

Jack gripped the stout rod and maneuvered himself into the chair. Eddie told Jack what to do to get the straps snapped on the reel. Once Jack was in the chair, Eddie taught him how to use his legs and back as leverage against the bucket. Jack worked the bucket back to the stern and Kathy hooked it with the gaff.

By noon, everyone had taken a turn in the chair and at the helm in the tuna tower. The group gathered in the cockpit to review what they learned and what they needed to work on.

"I think we should have lunch and then do some real fishing," Jenny said. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going to change into my shorts and bikini top. It's warm now."

The girls went down to the staterooms to change. Penny stopped in the passageway and said, "You guys are really serious about fishing, aren't you. The other times we went fishing, it was fun, but today it looks like work. Walt said it was boring."

"It is serious, Penny. We want to do well in the tournaments so we have to practice. Kim and I have a lot to learn," Sally said.

"Yeah! We told you we were going to be practicing today. If you and Walt didn't want to watch you shouldn't have come with us," Molly said.

"I'm sorry! You don't have to be so nasty about it," Penny said.

Kathy moved closer to Molly. She stood behind her and put her arms around Molly's waist. "Molly, Penny didn't really know what we were going to be doing. She hasn't been with us when we've practiced before."

"I know. I'm sorry, Penny. I didn't mean to snap at you," Molly said. "Will you forgive me?"

Penny nodded. Molly pulled away from Kathy and gave Penny a hug. Penny put her arms around Molly and hugged her back.

"Are we still friends?" Molly said.

"Yes, of course we are," Penny said.

"Let's get changed and make lunch. Then we can go fishing," Kim said.

"I was a bitch, wasn't I?" Molly said to Kathy once they were in their stateroom.

"Yeah, what was that about?" Kathy said as she moved close to Molly.

"I don't know what came over me. I guess I was just being protective or something."

Kathy unzipped Molly's hooded sweatshirt. She peeled it off and tossed it on the bed. Reaching behind Molly, Kathy unfastened her bra.

"I love you," Kathy said and then she gave Molly a kiss.

Molly returned the tender kiss. She began undressing Kathy, pressing their naked breasts together after removing her top and bra. Kathy slipped her hands into Molly's sweatpants and pushed them down. Kneeling, Kathy pulled Molly's panties down far enough to give her access to her mons. Kathy kissed Molly's sex while inhaling deeply.

Kathy stood up. Molly giggled and then said, "You're such a tease! It doesn't matter though, I love you anyway."

"I know, but you love it when I tease," Kathy said as she rubbed between Molly's legs. Kathy removed her hand and kissed Molly again. "We better get dressed. If we don't, I'm going to attack you."

Molly giggled and said, "Promises, promises."

The two girls changed into shorts and the tops of their bikinis. Every time Molly covered her breasts, Kathy pulled her suit up to expose her. They laughed, hugged, and then kissed before leaving the stateroom. Kathy chased Molly up the steps and grabbed at her butt.

Molly ran into the galley and hid behind Penny. She wrapped her arms around Penny and used her as a shield against Kathy.

"Stop her; she's trying to grab my ass!" Molly said in a high-pitched squeal.

Kathy, Molly, and Penny twisted and turned. Kathy reached around Penny in an attempt to grab Molly's bottom. The rest of the teens laughed and egged the girls on. Penny escaped Kathy's grip and moved away. Molly caught Kathy, put her arms around her, and grabbed the cheeks of Kathy's butt.

"Now that you caught me, what are you going to do with me?" Kathy said.

Molly pulled Kathy closer, kissed her, and then whispered, "I'm going to love you."

Molly pressed against Kathy and said, "Right here in front of everyone?"

Kathy squeezed Molly's butt and nodded. "I'm going to love you, but I'm not going to have sex—not right now."

Molly giggled and then the two girls separated. They went to the counter and began making sandwiches with the other girls. Jenny and Kim placed the food on a tray and carried it out to the cockpit.

The teens ate their lunch and talked about the things they learned. After eating, Jenny and Eddie carried the things into the cabin.

"You and Kathy should talk to Molly you know. If she finds out about the things we do she might be upset," Jenny said.

"I know, but I don't know how to bring it up," Eddie said.

"Do you want me to think of something?"

"Sure, if you have an idea, I'm all for it, Sis."

Jenny walked up to her brother. She put her hand on Eddie's crotch and began to rub him. "Okay, I'll figure something out, but it's going to cost you."

Eddie kissed Jenny on the forehead. "Hmmm, I think I'm going to like paying you."

Jenny and her brother cleaned up the galley and then went back out with the others. The rest of the group stood in the cockpit talking.

"Are we ready to go fishing?" Eddie said.

"I'm ready," Walt said as he moved toward the transom where Penny was talking with Molly.

"Why don't I go up to the tuna tower? I can drive while the rest of you get ready," Brad said.

"Can I go up there too?" Sally said while looking at Jack.

"Sure, Sally. You can be the look out," Brad replied.

Sally continued to look at Jack. When he nodded his head, Sally grinned. She followed Brad up the ladder to the tuna tower. Brad told Sally where to steer the boat and what speed go. Giggling, Sally did what Brad told her to do.

"You're doing great," Brad said as he stood next to Sally. He glanced down at her breasts and then turned to look down at the cockpit.

Eddie and Tom set up the port side of the boat while Jenny and Jack worked on the starboard side. Jenny gave Jack a few pointers on attaching the lines to the outriggers and adjusting the drag on the reels.

"It becomes second nature after while, Jack. The more often you do it, the better you get," Jenny said and then she giggled. "You know, like sex."

"I hope sex never becomes second nature. I like learning new things too much," Jack said.

Nodding, Jenny said, "You know what I mean."

Jack and Jenny finished setting the teasers. They stood back, watching the water behind the boat. Kim, Molly, Penny, and Kathy sat on the mezzanine watching the other's work. Walt stayed close to Eddie and asked questions.

"Aren't you afraid Brad will attack Sally?" Jenny asked Jack. She giggled and bumped against him.

Chuckling, Jack said, "You should be afraid of Sally attacking Brad."

"There's a fish following the starboard teaser," Brad called down from the tuna tower.

"Here we go, Jack. Grab one of the rods with a live bait and let the lure out toward the fish." Jenny pointed at the water. "See the dark shadow?"

"Yup, I see it," Jack said as he lowered the lure over the stern.

Jenny began clearing the teasers on the starboard side of the boat. Molly jumped up to help her. Eddie and Tom cleared the port side. When the fish took the bait, Jack began to reel in line. The rod jerked in his hand and then the fish made a run.

Sally bounced on the balls of her feet and screeched as Jack fought the fish. Brad took over at the helm so Sally could watch the action. She continued to giggle while Jack reeled in the fish.

"What kind is it?" Sally asked.

"I think it's a dolphin, but it could be a wahoo. Either way, if Jack lands it we'll have fresh fish for our trip to the Bahamas," Brad said.

Jack tired the fish and worked it along side the cockpit. Eddie gaffed the dolphin and pulled it aboard. After removing the hook, Jenny told Jack to hold the fish up so Tom could take a few pictures.

"Make sure they're good, Tom. That is the first fish caught on the boat," Kathy said.

Tom took several shots of Jack and the fish. When he finished, Jack put the fish into the hold. Eddie scooped ice from the icemaker and covered the fish before closing the lid on the hold.

Up on the tuna tower, Sally leaned over so she could see what was going on in the cockpit. She yelled down to tell Jack he did a good job. Straightening up, Sally gave Brad a hug.

"This is so cool! I love fishing!" Sally said.

Brad chuckled and nodded. He put one of his hands in the small of Sally's back and pulled her tighter. They were still hugging when Jack looked up. Sally saw Jack and waved. Brad froze for a moment and then released Sally.

"Jack is going to hate me," Brad said softly.

"No he won't. Jack knows I love him and would never do anything he didn't say was okay," Sally said and then she smiled.

While Brad and Sally talked, Jack climbed up the tuna tower. He gave Sally a hug and said, "Did you see me catch that fish?"

"Yeah, I watched every minute. I was so excited I almost peed my pants. In fact, I better go down and take care of that before I do," Sally said. She kissed Jack and went down the ladder.

"Um, I hope you're not pissed at me for hugging Sally. We were excited about seeing you catch the first fish and..." Brad said, but Jack stopped him.

"Don't worry about it, Brad. I'm not pissed at you. I'm glad we're all getting along so well," Jack said. "What the hell, we're all seen each other naked and I'm sure we will again. I'm not the jealous type."

"Good. None of us are the jealous type either. I love Jenny, but if she went out with another guy I wouldn't get all bent out of shape—not as long as she talked to me about it first."

"That is a good attitude to have," Jack said.

"Jenny and I decided that we could date other people if we wanted to. I don't have any plans, but who knows what the future holds. Besides that, I don't feel guilty when Kathy and I fool around," Brad said. "Kathy and I don't get together as often as we used to, but once in a while it's nice."

Jack nodded. "It's the same between Kim and me."

Brad and Jack continued to talk while Brad steered the boat. Jack took over and Brad gave him pointers. In the cockpit, the rest of the group reset the lines. Within a half hour, another fish hit a lure. Jack and Brad watched as Walt fought the fish.

Jenny came up to be with Brad and Jack. She brought two cans of soda for them. "How's it going down there?" Brad asked Jenny after thanking her for the soda.

"Good. Walt might stop pouting now," Jenny said. "I shouldn't have said that. He was just bored watching us."

"Are you going to invite Walt and Penny to join the team?" Jack asked.

"No. We have our team as far as I'm concerned. The nine of us are enough," Jenny said. "We can take our friends fishing, but I think we should keep the team as it is."

"I agree with Jenny," Brad said. "I know Kathy and Eddie feel the same way. How about you, Jack, what do you think?"

"I think the team is good the way it is," Jack said.

"If you ask me, I don't think Walt or Penny have any interest in being on our team. They like the fishing part, but not the work," Jenny said. "Look, Walt caught another dolphin."

Jack, Jenny, and Brad watched Eddie pull the fish into the boat. Tom took a few pictures and then the fish went into the hold. The teens spent several hours fishing and added another dolphin and a nice size wahoo to the hold before deciding to head in.

Jenny and the rest of the girls went to the enclosed flying bridge. Jenny told Molly to take the helm. In the cockpit, the guys put away the equipment.

"Jen, take it easy for a bit. We want to clean the fish," Eddie said. He used the intercom to talk to his sister.

"After thinking about it, we decided to modify the tackle station so it would be good for cleaning fish. We added a grinder that will put the guts in these special trays," Brad said and he held up a plastic box that was about the size of a loaf of bread. "The box lets water drain out but holds the guts and things from the grinder. We'll freeze them to use as chum."

Brad placed one of the plastic boxes in its holder. He began filleting one of the dolphins. Eddie and Tom helped. They rinsed the thick slabs of meat and put them in zipper bags with water so they could freeze them. Jack filleted the wahoo. He said it was like cleaning a salmon, only larger.

"Want to go up to the bridge with the girls?" Tom said after he and Brad finished cleaning up.

"Go ahead, I'm going to stay out here and enjoy the day," Jack said.

Tom, Walt and Eddie went up to the bridge. Brad and Jack sat on the mezzanine and relaxed.

"This is something I could get used to very easily," Jack said as he put his feet up on the rail.

Brad laughed and said, "I sure hope so. You guys have the yacht and this boat. I think you're going to get to spend a lot of time on the water."

Jack nodded. "Someday, I would like to take you guys up to Michigan. I think you'd like salmon fishing. The fish aren't as big, but we have a blast. Have you done any other kinds of fishing?"

"Not really. When Kathy and I met Eddie and Jen, we started fishing on the ocean. I would like to try other species. I hear tarpon fishing is a blast."

"I would like to try fishing for snook, bonefish, and permit. I hear they're fun to catch on the flats with a fly rod," Jack said.

"That's what I hear. I've read about fishing the flats, but we don't have a boat for that." Brad chuckled and waved his arm, pointing at the stern of the Lady Guinevere. "It would be a bit tough to get this into six inches of water."

"Maybe we could find a place to rent the right boat," Jack said. "I hear they have great bonefish fishing up around Jupiter."

"I'm sure we could rent a boat. From what I've read, some of the best places to catch bonefish are in the Bahamas. I guess you can fish for almost any thing around Southern Florida," Brad said.

"We're anxious to move down here. We have to go back to finish school, but I think our parents are going to move down as soon as we do. I know Tom, Kim, and Sally are looking forward to it as much as I am."

"If you ask me, we're going to have a great summer this year. Wait until you fish in one of the club or money tournaments. You'll be hooked like the rest of us. There is something about the competition that makes it ten times more exciting than just fishing," Brad said.

"You, Eddie, Jenny, and Kathy have done this before. I hope the rest of us don't do anything to cost us a tournament," Jack said.

Brad chuckled and shook his head. "Nobody is perfect. If any of us makes a mistake, we'll get over it. Above all, we want this to be fun."

"That's cool. Want to go up and see what everyone else is doing?" Jack said.

Jack and Brad went up to the flying bridge. Sally, Jenny, and Kathy sat on the sundeck and the rest of the group was inside. Jack went into the bridge and Brad sat down between Jenny and Sally. For the rest of the ride back to the house, the teens milled around and talked about the day.

Eddie took over from Molly when they approached the seawall. He told her she did well, but needed practice before docking. Sally, Jenny, Brad, and Jack went down to tend the lines. Once the boat was secure, Eddie shut the boat down.

The group gathered in the cockpit. Eddie gave Walt and Penny some of the fresh fish to take home with them. Walt thanked everyone for taking him and Penny fishing. They said goodbye and left.

"We need to wash down the boat," Eddie said. "I like to wash off the salt every time we take it out."

Brad pulled out two mops. Tom jumped off the boat to get the hose. While the guys began at the bow and scrubbed the boat, the girls went into the cabin. They vacuumed the decks and dusted. Molly wiped down the counters and cleaned the stovetop. An hour later, the boat was clean.

The teens went to the house to see what the plans were for the evening. The kids found Don and Marc sitting on the patio. Kim asked where her mom and aunt were. Marc told the teens the two women were in the kitchen.

"What's going on tonight, Dad?" Jack said.

"I think your mother and aunt are planning dinner for about six. Other than that, I don't know. You should go ask her what she planned," Don said. "Don't forget about tomorrow. You kids have to meet Joanne at the boatyard to go over a few things about Tomiko."

"We know, Dad. Do you know what time we're supposed to meet Mrs. Mitchell?" Jack said.

"She wants to see you at eight in the morning. She is going home tomorrow, along with Sam, Jerry, and Liz. Eddie, you need to give your dad a call," Don said.

The teens went into the house. Marge and Anne greeted them and asked about their day. Eddie called home to find out what his father wanted.

"Your fathers don't know it yet, but we're taking the Stones and the Mitchells out to dinner tonight. You kids can go get pizza or make something here," Anne said. "All of the parents are getting together tonight."

"My mom too?" Molly asked.

"Yes, Molly. Your mom and Joel are going with us," Anne replied.

Eddie came over to where the group stood near the table. "Dad wants Lady Guinevere at the boatyard tomorrow. He said the fluids should be changed and the engines gone over before we leave for the Bahamas."

"We can take her first thing if you don't mind getting there before eight," Jack said.

"That works for me. We should see if we could stay on the boat again tonight. That way we don't have to get up as early," Brad said.

"I think I better go home. I haven't been there in a few days," Molly said.

"You can go home with your mom. She and Joel will be here in a little while," Marge said.

The teens went to the guesthouse. Kathy pulled Molly aside and said, "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything is great, Kathy," Molly said.

"Is there a reason you don't want to stay with us tonight?"

"No, but I think my mom is going to want me home. I'd rather stay with you and Eddie," Molly said and then she giggled.

"Ask your mom if you can stay. I really want you to." Kathy hugged Molly and gave her a tender kiss. The two girls giggled and went to the living room.

"Where are we going to eat?" Kathy asked as she and Molly sat next to each other on a couch.

"It depends on what we want. If we want pizza, we can go to the place we usually go to," Brad said.

The group discussed their options. They decided on pizza. Sally suggested going swimming before they left and the rest agreed. The group headed to the cabana and began to undress.

"I'm not going to bother with a suit today," Sally said with a grin. "I hope no one minds."

Laughing, Jack said, "No, Honey, no one will mind if you're naked."

The teens showered and then went out to the pool. They swam around and splashed each other for a few minutes before they relaxed at the shallow end of the pool. The group sat on the steps and talked about their plans for the next morning.

"We should leave by seven o'clock tomorrow morning if we have to be at my dad's boatyard by eight," Eddie said.

Kathy scooted next to Eddie and hugged his arm. "That means we should get to bed early." Kathy giggled when Eddie nodded his head.

The teens stayed in the pool for a little longer. They decided to get dressed and go out for pizza. When they were showered and dressed, they all went into the house.

All of the parents were in the living room. Don and Marge served drinks to the group and then sat together on a couch. Jack told the adults their plans for dinner and taking the boat to the boatyard the next morning.

Molly asked her mom if she could stay on the boat again. Laura smiled and told Molly she could. After saying goodbye to everyone, the teens left.

Brad gave Jack directions to the pizzeria. When they arrived, they found a table large enough for the entire group. The teens decided what they wanted and placed their order. Several kids that Brad, Kathy, Eddie, Jenny, and Molly knew from school stopped at the table to say hello. Eddie introduced the group from Michigan and told the kids they were moving down to Florida soon.

"This must be where everyone goes for pizza," Kim said. "You guys know a lot of kids here."

"We like this place. The food is good and it isn't very expensive. We also hang around the ice cream parlor," Kathy said.

"Cool, I love ice cream," Kim said with a grin.

Giggling, Kathy leaned closer to Kim. "I like the warm sticky cream too."

Kim and Kathy laughed. Tom asked what they were laughing about and chuckled when Kathy told him.

The pizzas came and the teens began eating. During dinner, they talked about the day. Eddie and Brad told the group the things they still needed to work on. Eddie told everyone he recorded their action in the cockpit so they could talk about it later.

"We can watch the tape tonight," Jenny said. "There isn't anything good on television anyway."

Everyone agreed it would be fun to review the tape. They finished their meal and headed home. After they changed, the teens gathered in the salon. Eddie started the tape and began critiquing the things that went on. Brad joined Eddie and the two of them pointed out the things that needed improvement.

"This is great. If we didn't have the tape, we wouldn't learn the little details," Sally said. "I like being up on the tuna tower and steering as much as fishing."

"That's part of it, Sally, a big part. We have to work as a team. Every job on the boat is important," Brad said.

The teens reviewed the tape a few times. Each time they watched it, they saw something else that they could improve.

"I'm getting sodas. Anyone else want one?" Jenny said as she got up and headed toward the galley. When several of the teens asked for cold drinks, Sally got up to help.

"So, when was the first time you and Eddie made love?" Molly asked Kathy.

Everyone went silent for a moment. Eddie, Jenny, Kathy, and Brad shared quick glances and began to smile.

Kathy told Molly, and the others, about the day on the boat when she and Eddie first had sex together. Jenny joined in, telling the group about her and Brad being there and having sex too.

Jenny stopped giggling, turned to Kim, and said, "When was your first time?"

Kim grinned and replied, "My first time or my first time with Tom?"

"Your first time," Kathy said.

"Um, doing anything or screwing?" Kim said as she stifled a giggle.

Kim told the group about the night on the balcony when she was on vacation. She told about giving a boy a blowjob for the first time. Kim didn't tell them who the boy was.

"Who was he?" Jenny said, seeing an opportunity to expose the sibling relationships to Molly.

Kim blushed and glanced at her brother. Jack smiled and winked. Taking a deep breath, Kim said, "Jack was the boy. He was my very first lover in every way."

Molly stared at Kim for a moment. She looked at Jack and then back to Kim. When Molly looked at Sally, Sally grinned.

"If you're wondering if I knew, I do. Tom was my first lover," Sally said. She went on to tell the group about the first time she and her brother made love.

Molly listened to Sally, but kept her eyes on Eddie and Kathy. She noticed that neither Eddie nor Kathy were surprised or shocked by what Sally said.

"I hope what we do doesn't upset you or make you hate us," Sally said.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. "I don't hate you or anyone else," she said in a low voice.

Eddie put his arm around Molly. He held her for a moment and then gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Molly, I really care about you. Upsetting you is the last thing in the world I want to do. I just don't think we can have a meaningful relationship if there are secrets between us. Molly, Jenny and I have made love too," Eddie said.

Molly looked at Kathy. Her eyes asked the question; Kathy's nod provided the answer.

"Honey, we are trusting you with this. If the wrong people find out, we could all get into trouble," Eddie said. "If Kathy and I didn't love you, we would have tried to keep it a secret."

"That goes for me too, Molly," Jenny said.

Molly sat quietly while gathering her thoughts. Her first reaction was one of shock, but that soon faded. The more she heard, the more she began to understand. Molly knew there was something different about Brad, Jenny, Kathy, and Eddie, but she was unable to figure out what it was until now. Being in a three way relationship with Eddie and Kathy was strange enough, but knowing the secrets they all harbored made it even stranger.

The biggest problem Molly was having with the situation was where she fit in. Kathy and Eddie continually told her how they felt about her and she wanted to believe them. Molly was happy and didn't want things to change. She enjoyed fishing and loved Eddie and Kathy.

"Are you okay, Sweetie?" Kathy asked as she moved closer to Molly.

Molly stared across the salon and shrugged her shoulders. She didn't look at Kathy or Eddie while trying to come to grips with her feelings. After several moments, Molly turned to Kathy. "Do you and Brad still do it?"

"Yes, once in a while. We don't make love as often as we used to, not since I started going with Eddie and Brad started going with Jenny," Kathy said. "Brad and I haven't done anything since we started going out. Eddie hasn't either."

Molly looked at Eddie. He shook his head, confirming what Kathy said. She turned to Kim and said, "Do you guys still do it together—you know with your brother?"

"We haven't done anything in a while," Kim said.

Molly took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I'm starting to feel like I don't belong with you guys," Molly said as tears formed in her eyes.

"Don't be silly! Of course you belong with us, we love you," Eddie said. He turned so he could hug Molly and kissed her on top of her head. Eddie held Molly tightly and rubbed her back. "Honey, you know you belong with us; especially with Kathy and me."

Molly cuddled against Eddie. She looked up and their lips met. They shared a tender kiss and then Kathy moved closer.

"It's just that I feel so out of place now," Molly said.

Kim began to giggle. She moved to the deck and walked on her knees over to where Molly, Eddie, and Kathy sat cuddled together. Putting her hands on Molly's legs, Kim looked into her eyes.

"Let me get this straight. You're friends with a bunch of kids that have sex with their brothers and sisters and you feel out of place? If anything, you are the most normal person here," Kim said.

Molly smiled and then she said, "Me? I have a boyfriend and a girlfriend—and my boyfriend is sleeping with my girlfriend. Don't you think that is a bit weird?"

"Hell no! I think it's sweet!" Kim said. "You have the best of everything."

"Sally said you didn't like girls that much," Molly said.

"I like girls. I may not be as emotionally involved, but I love having sex with girls. Sweetie, we're all different. You have to do what's best for you and quit worrying," Kim said as she moved her hands lightly on the tops of Molly's thighs. "Besides, this isn't about sex."

Kathy ran her fingers through Molly's hair. She moved her hand to Molly's chin and tilted her head up. "Kim's right, this isn't about sex. Not completely. We love you for you. If you don't want to have sex with me, I'll still love you."

Molly began to cheer up. She smiled and said, "I'm going to tell my mom off as soon as I see her!"

"Why?" Eddie said.

"Because she didn't have a boy too. If she had, I would have a brother," Molly said.

"You can borrow mine," Sally said with a giggle. "Kim won't mind sharing, will you, Kim?"

"Not as long as I get to be there too," Kim said.

"Hey, don't I have anything to say about this?" Tom said.

Kim and Sally laughed and said, "No," at the same time.

Everyone laughed as Tom shrugged his shoulders. Molly hugged Eddie and then Kathy. When the rest of the teens started to tease her, Molly got up so she could give each of them a hug. When she reached Tom, he held her for a few moments longer than the rest had.

The sound of Don asking to come aboard caused Tom and Molly to separate. They shared a gaze and smiled at each other. Eddie opened the door to the cockpit to let the parents in.

"We're going to have dessert. Would you kids like to join us? Laura baked brownies for us," Marge said as she glanced around the salon.

The teens said they wanted to have dessert with their parents. The group left the boat and headed toward the house. Laura noticed her daughter's red eyes and pulled her aside.

"Is everything okay, Honey?" Laura asked Molly.

"Yeah, Mom," Molly replied softly.

Laura held Molly back. She told the rest of the group they would met them in a few minutes. When everyone had left them alone, Laura turned to her daughter.

"Something is wrong. Please tell me what's bothering you," Laura said.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. She knew she couldn't tell her mom what she learned about the other. Laura waited patiently and then put her hands on Molly's shoulders.

"You can tell me anything, Molly. If there's something wrong, you can tell me. Did you have a tiff with Eddie or Kathy?"

"No, we didn't have a fight or anything. We just talked about some stuff—stuff I can't tell you about, Mom."

Laura nodded. She thought for a moment and then said, "Honey, it isn't that uncommon for brothers and sisters to, um, lets say explore," Laura said with a knowing smile.

Molly's shock showed in her expression. Before the startled teen could respond, her mother continued. "I know about Eddie, Jenny, and the rest of them. Moms talk too you know."

"What did they tell you?" Molly said.

"I think you know what they said, Honey. They all know about their children's relationships."

Molly didn't know how to respond. She knew her friends' parents were open about sex, but she didn't know they knew about the incest.

"Like I said, it isn't that uncommon. I got my first kiss from your uncle Ted," Laura said, admitting a secret she held for years.

"You and Uncle Ted had sex?" Molly said in disbelief.

"Not what you're thinking. Your uncle and I experimented, but we never—you know. When I was twelve, we decided to see what it was like to kiss." Laura chuckled. "It wasn't very pretty as I remember it. Neither of us had a clue about what we were doing."

"Is that all you did? Kiss I mean," Molly said.

"We kissed and touched each other. We also played show and tell," Laura said. "What I'm trying to tell you is it's okay, Molly. What they, your friends, do isn't wrong as long as they are okay with it."

"Did you want to do more with Uncle Ted, Mom?" Molly asked.

"There were times I thought I did, but he met a girl and everything ended between us. A year later I started dating your father and we went our separate ways." Laura put her arms around her daughter and hugged her.

"Molly, you have no idea how lucky you are to have the friends you have. Eddie and Kathy are very special. I think the rest of the group is special too. Do you realize you haven't been moody lately? I see how excited you get when you get ready to go out with your friends. It isn't like before. You didn't seem as happy when you got ready to go out with Lenny."

Molly nodded. She was happy even after learning about the relationships between her friends. Laura gave Molly a hug and said, "Come on, we'll miss out on the brownies if we don't get to the house."

Laura and Molly walked to the house. Before going inside, Molly thanked her mom and told her she loved her. Laura felt her throat constrict and then she kissed her daughter's forehead.

"Is everything alright?" Marge asked Laura.

"Yes. Molly needed to sort a few things out." Laura leaned closer to Marge and whispered, "She found out about the relationships the others share."

Marge nodded. "I'm sure the kids will work it out—they always do."

Laura looked for Joel. She found him in the living room, talking on his cell phone. After a moment, he hung up and then put his arms around Laura.

"Sit down, Sweetie. I have something to tell you," Joel said.

Laura and Joel sat on a couch. He took her hands in his and looked into her eyes. "Laura, Mrs. Caldwell passed away an hour ago. That was her son on the telephone."

Chapter 31


Laura stood stock-still. Joel wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. Holding Laura, Joel felt her body quiver and then he heard her begin crying. He rubbed her back and quietly tried to comfort her.

"It'll be okay, Honey. Mrs. Caldwell has been ill for a long time," Joel said.

"I know, but it's still hard for me. I've taken care of her for so long. I'm very close to her, Joel." Laura sobbed, pulled her head back and looked into Joel's eyes. "What am I going to do now? What will Molly and I do? How are we going to live?"

"Don't worry about that right now. Things will be okay. I can help you if you'll let me," Joel said.

"Did her son say anything about the funeral arrangements?" Laura asked.

"Mrs. Caldwell will be buried tomorrow—as is the custom of her religion," Joel said. "We'll go to the funeral home tomorrow afternoon."

Laura nodded. She continued to cry and Joel continued to hold her. Molly came into the living room to talk to her mom. When she saw Laura crying, Molly rushed over to her.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Molly said.

"Mrs. Caldwell passed away this evening, Molly. Your mom is upset," Joel said.

Laura held out one of her arms to Molly. Molly moved closer so Laura could hold her and Joel. The three of them hugged for a few moments and then Laura pulled away.

Joel, Molly, and Laura went into the kitchen. Marge saw that Laura was crying and went over to her.

"What's the matter, Laura?" Marge asked, causing everyone to stop talking.

Joel explained what happened. The adults and kids went over to Laura, each of them offering their condolences. Laura thanked all of them. Anne gave Laura tissues so she could dry her eyes. Don slipped his arm around Laura and led her to the table while Ellen poured a cup of coffee for her.

The adults sat around the large table while the kids stood near their parents. Joel told the group about the funeral arrangements.

"Laura, this shouldn't change our plans for the weekend. In fact, I think it's important you get away for a few days. We can talk about the future next week," Joel said.

"Do you think you can help me find someone else that could use help in their home?" Laura asked Joel.

"Honey, please don't think about that right now. Give yourself a few days," Joel replied. "As I said, everything will work out—it always does."

The rest of the adults told Laura the same thing Joel did. She began to feel better and thanked them. Eddie moved next to Molly and put his arm around her waist. She looked into Eddie's eyes and smiled.

"Are you okay?" Eddie whispered in Molly's ear.

Turning to face him, Molly looked up into Eddie's eyes. She nodded and said, "I'm fine. It's Mom I'm worried about."

"I know it's hard to do, but don't worry about her. Things will be okay, Honey," Eddie said and then he kissed Molly's forehead.

Molly sighed, put her arms around Eddie, and gave him a hug. She rested her head against his chest and then felt someone rubbing her back. Turning her head, Molly saw it was Kathy. She turned toward Kathy and they hugged.

Kathy and Molly shared a quick kiss. When Molly opened her eyes, she noticed her mom watching her and Kathy. Molly felt her cheeks warm from embarrassment, but her mom's smile made her relax. Kathy and Molly continued to embrace each other.

"It'll be okay, Sweetie," Kathy whispered in Molly's ear and then she kissed Molly's neck. "You know we love you—you know I love you."

Molly felt a combination of joy and sorrow. She felt happy to have friends that cared for her, but she also felt bad for her mom. Laura walked over to Molly and Kathy. She put her hand on her daughter's back and rubbed her gently.

"I'm fine, Molly. This wasn't unexpected. I've known that Mrs. Caldwell was ill for some time now. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to worry," Laura said.

Molly lifted her head from Kathy's shoulder. She looked at her mom and sighed. The two of them gazed into each other's eyes for a moment before Molly spoke.

"Are you sure you're okay, Mom? I don't have to go the tournament if you don't want me to," Molly said.

"No, Honey, we're both going. Joel is right; it will be good to get away. When we get back, we can figure out what to do next. Life has to go on," Laura said.

"Okay, Mom, whatever you want. Let me know when you're ready to go home. I'll go with you," Molly said.

"You can stay with your friends, Molly. Joel said he would stay with me tonight. He and I have to go to the funeral tomorrow afternoon," Laura said.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Molly said.

"It isn't necessary that you go. You didn't know Mrs. Caldwell. You should stay with the team and get ready for the tournament," Laura told Molly.

Molly turned to Kathy and said, "What do you think I should do?"

"I don't know, Sweetie. I guess you'll have to figure that out for yourself. If you want to go tomorrow afternoon, we'll get you there," Kathy said.

After a brief discussion, Molly decided to meet her mom and Joel at the funeral home, but not stay for the funeral. Laura agreed, gave Molly a kiss on her cheek and left. Molly and Kathy went to the kitchen to let the others know about the plan.

The teens told their parents goodnight and went to the boat. They all went to their rooms for the night.

Kim and Tom stripped off their clothes and climbed into bed. They snuggled together while sharing kisses.

"You think Kathy is hot, don't you?" Kim asked as she cuddled on Tom's chest.

"Yeah, I think she's cute," Tom replied as his hand moved down to Kim's butt. "Almost as cute as you are."

Kim kissed Tom and giggled. She wrapped her hand around his penis and gave it a squeeze. "Would you fuck her?"

Tom chuckled, squeezed one of Kim's butt cheeks, and said, "Sure, if she wanted to. Would you?"

Kim stroked Tom's penis. "Maybe, but I would definitely fuck Eddie. He's a real cutie."

Tom and Kim laughed. She rolled onto his body, reached between them, and guided his member into her vagina. "Why don't you fuck me?" Kim said with a giggle.

"Um, I think you're fucking me."

"Okay, we'll fuck each other," Kim said as she wiggled down on Tom's penis.

Jack sat on the edge of the bed. Sally knelt between his parted legs and used her mouth on his penis. She kept her eyes locked with Jacks as she bobbed her head. When they got to their room, Jack told her to strip. Sally removed her clothes and then his. When Jack said, "Suck my cock," Sally dropped to her knees.

Sally used her mouth to make love to Jack's penis. She licked him from the base to the head and back. Cocking her head, Sally nuzzled and licked his testicles. After a few minutes, Jack pulled her up.

Jack and Sally stretched out on the bed. He pushed her legs apart and slid his member into her. Sally pulled her legs back and exhaled as Jack sank into her sex. "I love you," Jack said as he began to move.

Sally smiled and said, "I know."

Brad lifted his head from between Jenny's splayed legs. He kissed her mons and said, "If you could have sex with anyone on the boat, who would it be," Brad asked.

Jenny wiggled and said, "You."

Brad nipped her clit with his teeth and chuckled. "I mean anyone other than me."

"I don't know. I think Jack is nice," Jenny said.

"I think you want to feel his big cock in your hot pussy," Brad said and then he licked the length of her sex.

"No more than you want to feel your big dick in Sally," Jenny said. "You've been flirting with her."

"Does that bother you?"

Jenny reached down. She ran her fingers through Brad's hair and pulled him to her sex. Thinking about Brad's question, she realized it didn't bother her.

"Nope, it doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me that she flirts with you. Now, stop talking and eat my pussy," Jenny said.

Molly's body was sandwiched between Eddie and Kathy. Her breasts pressed into Kathy's back while Eddie's semi rigid penis parted her butt cheeks. Molly's arm draped over Kathy and her hand slowly rubbed her stomach.

"Are you okay?" Eddie whispered in Molly's ear.

Molly kissed the back of Kathy's neck and said, "Yes, I'm fine. I feel so safe and wanted right now."

Kathy placed her hand on Molly's arm. "You are wanted, Sweetie." Kathy giggled and squeezed Molly's arm. "If you ask me, Tom and Jack both want you."

"Not to mention Sally," Eddie said. "She can't keep her eyes off you, Honey."

"You two are crazy! They don't want me like that," Molly said.

"Honey, you're the one that's crazy. You have to give up and accept the fact you're sexy," Eddie said. "I know that any of the other guys would love a chance to have sex with you."

"Yeah, most of the girls too," Kathy said with a giggle.

"I can't do that. I love you two," Molly said.

"You can if you want to, Sweetie. Eddie and I will still love you," Kathy said as she rolled over to face Molly. "We wouldn't stop loving you because you decided to get laid, would we Eddie?"

"No we wouldn't. We hope you wouldn't stop loving us if we did the same thing," Eddie said.

"Sex for the sake of pleasure with no strings attached? Is that what you're talking about?" Molly said.

"Yes. You know what they say, 'if it feels good do it.' There is a big difference between having sex for fun and doing it to hurt someone else. If you get laid to get even with someone, you're the one that ends up hurt," Kathy said. "You lower yourself to that person's level."

Kathy gave Molly a kiss on the nose and rolled on her side again. She scooted back until Molly's body molded to hers. Kathy pulled Molly's arm over her body, holding her hand to her stomach.

Molly thought about what Kathy and Eddie said. She couldn't come to grips with the idea that the others found her attractive, let alone sexy. Molly also thought about her lovers' carefree attitude toward sex. While she still didn't completely understand, Molly was beginning to accept what they said as true. She just didn't know if she could go through with it if the opportunity arose.

Eddie worked his hand between Molly and Kathy. He held Molly's breast and kissed her shoulder. Molly squirmed to increase the contact between her and her two lovers.

-------

Alarms began buzzing at six o'clock on Monday morning. The teens slowly woke up and began getting ready for their busy day. The boat had to be at Harry's boatyard by eight for service. Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally were meeting with Joanne to go over a few things on the yacht. In the afternoon, Molly needed to go to the funeral home to be with her mom. In the evening, the producer for the television show was meeting the teens to talk about what they wanted.

Sally kissed Jack, rolled out of bed and put on a long tee shirt. She went up to the galley to start a pot of coffee. When she returned, Sally and Jack showered together. Doors to the staterooms opened and the teens began moving around. Kim and Tom were standing in their room and getting dressed when Eddie walked in. He glanced at Kim, smiling when their eyes met.

"Kathy and I are planning to go to the funeral home with Molly this afternoon. Molly doesn't know yet, but we want to support her," Eddie said.

"I think we should all go," Kim said as she fastened her bra. "We're a team and should always support each other."

Eddie smiled and nodded. He went to Jack and Sally's room to tell them the same thing. Jack agreed with his sister and said he and Sally would also go.

The teens gathered in the galley. Jenny and Kathy took out bowls while Kim and Sally got the boxes of cereal. Eddie went to the helm to start the engines. After breakfast, Jack and Brad tended to the lines, power, and water connections. Eddie pulled away from the seawall and headed for his father's boatyard.

On the trip, Eddie taught Jack and Tom how to hold the boat steady in the canal while waiting for the drawbridges. He also told them how to signal the operator to open the bridges. When they came to one of the bridges that rose on a schedule, he explained how to tell the difference.

Eddie pulled the new Lady Guinevere into one of the service slips. Two of the workers tied the boat to the pilings while Eddie shut it down. The group got off and went to the office to talk to Harry.

"He's in the conference room with Mrs. Mitchell, Jeri, and April," The receptionist said. "Go right in."

The teens went into the room and greeted everyone. They accepted coffee and sodas when the receptionist asked if they wanted something to drink. Jack Waters came in, said hi, and joined the group.

Jeri, April, and Joanne moved to one end of the table with Jack, Kim, Tom, and Sally. They sat down and began reviewing the list of things to complete before the yacht's delivery. Jeri told them about several mechanical items on the list. Jack and the others told her to buy the additional items the yacht needed. Joanne and April went over the decorations and artwork they felt would set the yacht apart from others.

While Eddie, Brad, Kathy, Jenny, and Molly talked to Harry, the rest of the group went to Tomiko. They toured the yacht and reviewed the list again. Two hours later, the group returned to the office. Sam picked up Joanne so she could take care of a few things before they flew back to Michigan.

"Lady Guinevere won't be ready until this afternoon. We can use one of the vans and take off," Jenny said.

"Do you kids have a ditch bag on your boat?" Jeri asked.

"No, not yet, Jeri. We need to put one together," Eddie said.

Jeri smiled and pulled a bright orange duffel bag from under the table. "Here, this is a gift from April and me." She unzipped the bag and began pulling out the contents.

"What's a ditch bag?" Molly asked.

"It's a kit of things we'd need if we had to ditch the boat," Kathy said.

Nodding, Molly watched as Jeri showed the teens the contents of the bag. She explained how to activate the transponder and use the signaling devices. Jeri went through each item before repacking the bag.

"You should get another bag with food in it. You'll need supplies for five or six days. This bag has floatation built in. Your food stores should be in the same type of bag. You can buy rations at the marine store or order them on-line," Jeri said.

Jeri and April gave a short lecture on survival techniques. They told the teens the important of having a plan long before they needed one. Jeri explained they should go as far as practicing, but cautioned them not to deploy the life raft.

"If you have to ditch, make sure everyone know what to do. One of the most important things is staying together. Don't forget to put on PFDs before jumping in the water. I don't care how well you think you can swim, you can't do it forever," Jeri said.

April put a video tape in the VCR. The group watched a simulation of different survival techniques. After the video, the group talked about what they learned.

"I should get going," Molly said. "I want to get to the funeral home before the service."

The teens said goodbye after thanking Jeri and April. They piled into the van and took off. Eddie drove to Molly's house to drop her off.

"How will you get to the funeral home?" Eddie asked Molly.

"I'll call my mom and she'll pick me up," Molly said. "I have about an hour so she should be able to come get me."

"I will pick you up and take you, Honey. That way your mom won't have to leave," Eddie said. "Let me drop these guys off and I'll be back."

Molly gave Eddie and Kathy kisses before she went into the house. Eddie pulled away from the curb and headed for home.

"Okay, we have about forty five minutes to get ready. I'll drop Brad and Kathy off at their house and then we'll go to my house. Jack, you guys can take the van to your house so you can change and then come back," Eddie said.

Everyone hurried. They all cleaned up and changed into nice clothing so they could go to the funeral home with Molly. Jack pulled into Eddie and Jenny's driveway twenty minutes after dropping them off. Eddie took over the driving and went to Brad and Kathy's house.

The girls dressed in skirts and blouses. The guys wore slacks and button down shirts with ties. On the way to pick up Molly, they talked about what Jeri had taught them.

Eddie pulled into the driveway at Molly's house. He went to the door and knocked. When Molly saw him, Eddie smiled.

"I decided to go with you, Honey," Eddie said.

Molly felt her eyes well with tears. She grabbed her purse, closed the door, and headed to the van. She didn't see the others until Eddie opened the passenger door to let her in the van.

Kathy got up and gave Molly a hug. Molly began to cry. "What are you guys doing?" Molly asked.

"We're a team, Sweetie. You didn't think we'd let you do this alone, did you?" Kathy said.

Molly didn't know what to say. She hugged Kathy and then took her seat. Eddie drove to the funeral home. None of the teens said anything until Eddie parked the van.

"You guys don't have to do this you know," Molly said in a very soft voice.

"We know, but we want to," Eddie said. "Come on; let's go make sure your mom is okay."

Laura and Joel stood near the casket and talked with Mrs. Caldwell's son. The teens filed into the room. When Laura saw Molly, followed by her friends, she began to cry. Joel looked up, saw the group, and showed his emotions too.

"Excuse us," Joel said to Mrs. Caldwell's son. "Laura's daughter is here."

Joel put his hand on Laura's lower back. He guided her toward the teens while wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. Any misgivings about Molly's association with the other teens evaporated. Laura stood awestruck as Molly walked up to her.

"Thank you for coming," Laura said while hugging her daughter. She looked at the rest of the group. "Thanks to all of you."

Joel shook hands with the boys and greeted the girls. The group made their way to the casket and stood in front of it for a moment. They moved away and found seats.

Mrs. Caldwell's son came over and introduced himself. He thanked everyone for coming. While he didn't know the teens, he had heard about them. A couple came in the room and he excused himself.

Laura regained her composure. She thanked each of the teens again and told them about working for Mrs. Caldwell. No one asked what she would do now that the woman had passed away.

Molly and the rest of the teens spent an hour visiting with Laura and Joel. Joel told them the service would be starting soon and said it was okay to leave. The teens said goodbye and got ready to leave. While they hugged Laura, their parents came in. All of the parents showed up to support Laura. Once again, Laura cried.

Joel talked with Don, Marc, Harry, and Jack Waters while the women talked with Laura. He mentioned how impressed he was by the fact the teens showed up. When Don said they didn't know their kids planned to visit the funeral home, Joel smiled.

The parents spent a few minutes paying their respects. Just before the service began, they left. The teens waited in the parking lot until their parents came outside.

"That was very nice of you guys," Anne said.

"We couldn't let Molly do it alone," Kathy said.

"No, I don't suppose you could," Anne told the girl. "What are you kids going to do now?"

"We have to go get the boat, if it's ready," Eddie said. "After that, we don't have any plans."

"Don and Marc want to take everyone out for dinner tonight," Marge said.

"That would be great. We have a meeting at your house with the people from the sports channel this evening," Jenny said.

"Oh, I almost forgot about that," Marge said. "We can go after they finish talking with you kids,"

"Dad, will the boat be ready?" Eddie asked.

"Not until later. You could pick it up in the morning if you want to," Harry said.

The teens agreed that would be okay. They all left and headed to the house. They relaxed on the patio until Joel and Laura arrived. Laura gave each of them a hug and thanked them again.

"I can't tell you how much having all of you come to the funeral home meant to me. It was an unexpected surprise," Laura said.

Don offered the adults a drink. Marc helped him mix the cocktails and take them out to the patio. The teens asked for sodas.

An hour later, the producer showed up. He introduced himself to the group and began talking about what he had in mind for a show.

"I'm Pat Baker. I'm one of the producers for ESPN. I want to talk to you about making a show about your fishing. We have an idea that will feature you while you fish. Sort of a reality show if you will. We want to record what you do during one of your trips or tournaments," Pat said.

"Are you thinking of taping them on the upcoming tournament in the Bahamas?" Joel said.

"Yes, that's our plan. I have a tape of a similar show we could watch," Pat replied. "It will give you a better idea of what we have in mind."

The group went into the entertainment room. Don loaded the tape in the VCR. Everyone found seats and waited for the tape to start. While the show played, Pat explained it was about a husband and wife that loved to fish. The tape showed them fishing, shopping in a Mexican port town, and their life aboard their boat. When the tape ended, Don shut off the television and turned up the lights.

"We don't want to duplicate what you saw, not exactly. We want to show our audience the interaction of nine teenagers as well as the fishing," Pat said as he stood in front of the screen.

"Can you give us a little more detail?" Anne said.

"Of course. We would put a crew on the boat while the team fished. They would use several cameras to capture the goings on over the course of the day. We would edit the tape to make a show. We think the pilot will be an hour long," Pat said.

"We fish for eight hours during a tournament," Jenny said.

"Yes, we know you do. We would only use the highlights for the show," Pat said. "The editors will take out what we feel would be boring to the viewers. Things like trolling with no action."

Pat went on to explain how things would work and then talked about the money they were willing to pay. The teens listened, but Joel asked questions. Don asked Pat to let them talk and that they would let him know in a few minutes. Once Pat was out of the room, Don asked how the teens felt about the idea.

"He said they would pay us twenty thousand dollars. I thought you said it was ten grand," Jack said.

"Apparently they've upped the ante. What do you kids want to do? Don't think you have to do it for the money. If you agree to let them make the pilot, do it because you want to," Don said.

"What do you think, Jenny?" Brad said.

"I think we should take a vote. We can see what happens from there," Jenny said. "All in favor raise your hand."

All nine of the teens raised their hands. They laughed and so did the adults.

"I guess it's settled. Let's tell Pat," Jenny said.

Don called Pat back into the room. Jenny told him they agreed to let him make the pilot during the tournament. Pat thanked them and started to go over a few of the details.

"When are you leaving for the Bahamas?" Pat asked.

"We plan to leave on Wednesday morning," Eddie said.

"I would like to have the crew go down with you. That way you can get to know them and they can tell you what they will be doing. There is a lot of equipment that we need to take with us," Pat told them.

"That's fine. Can you have the crew here tomorrow afternoon? They can load the gear on the boat. We can let them use the crew quarters," Eddie said.

"What time do you want them here? They have to fly in from New York," Pat said.

"Anytime is okay with us. We'll be working on the boat all day," Kathy said.

"There's one thing we want to make sure of. We don't want them filming us when we're below in the staterooms," Jack said.

"No problem. Will it be okay for them to get some shots of the staterooms so our viewers will have a feel for the boat?" Pat said.

Jack nodded after the rest of the team said it would be okay. Pat, Joel and the dads went to the dining room to go over the contracts. The rest of the group went outside to wait for them. A few minutes later, the men joined them. Joel went over the details of the contract with the teens. He told them they would be paid twenty thousand dollars for taping. He said there would be more money if the network showed the pilot.

Once Pat left, the group went out to dinner. The teens rode together in the van so they could talk about the deal they made.

"Wow, I can't believe we're going to be on television," Molly said.

"This is just a pilot. We might not be on television," Kathy said.

"I know, but it's still exciting," Molly said with a giggle. Then she became somber. "I can't tell you guys how much it meant to me when you all went to the funeral home with me. You're the best!"

"No problem, Molly. We're glad we could be there for you," Jack said.

The rest of the teens assured Molly they wanted to be there for her. She fought the urge to cry. Kathy put her arm around Molly's shoulders and gave her a hug.

"You let me know when you feel better. I have plans for you," Kathy said. She smiled and winked at Molly.

Molly giggled and said, "I feel great, Honey."

Kathy slipped her hand under Molly's dress. She ran her fingers over Molly's sex and said, "Hmmm, you're right, you do feel great."

Sally giggled and said, "I'll have to take your word for that, Kathy."

Molly laughed and said, "No you don't."

Kathy giggled and moved her mouth close to Molly's ear. "She might take you at your word."

"Would you mind if she did?" Molly whispered.

"No, Baby, not if it makes you happy. You can do whatever you want to do," Kathy whispered back and then she kissed Molly's ear. "Just don't forget who loves you the most."

Eddie followed Don and the others into the restaurant parking lot. The large group went inside and were led to a private room. They took their seats and began talking amongst themselves. The servers came in to take drink orders and pass out menus. Don asked Jack and Tom if they would mind driving home so he and Harry could have a drink with dinner.

Both Don and Harry knew they wouldn't drink enough to impair their driving, but they used the opportunity to show the teens the importance of having a designated driver. While the teens didn't drink except on very special occasions, they knew that the teenagers would find themselves in that position at some point.

During dinner, the teens began talking about the tournament. They discussed whether they would use live bait or artificial lures. Jenny reminded them the rules allowed either.

"I don't know too much about it, but I think we should be prepared and have live bait too," Tom said.

"I agree with Tom," Brad said. "If we don't have live bait on the boat it limits our choices. Choices are important."

"What will we use down there?" Sally asked. "For live bait I mean."

"We can check with the locals when we get there. They will let us know what we should have," Kathy said.

"I hope we do well. It would be great if we could place in the top ten. Some of the best fishermen around will be there," Eddie said.

"We'll have fun in any event," Jack said. "I just hope us newbies don't mess up."

"Don't worry about that. If you get all concerned, you won't remember what you've learned. This has to be fun. That's more important than winning. No one is going to get upset if someone makes a mistake," Eddie said.

"I sure hope you mean that. I don't want you to get mad at me if I screw up," Molly said.

"I think it's important that we all agree that our friendship and having a good time is more important than winning. While we all want to do well, it isn't more important than being friends. If one of us makes a mistake, so be it. Someone will point out the mistake so we learn, but it isn't worth getting upset over," Brad said.

While the teens talked, the adults listened. Joel leaned close to Laura and said, "They're amazing, aren't they?"

"I think so. Listening to them makes me feel bad about all the times I became upset with Molly over insignificant things. I'm learning as much as they are," Laura said.

"I'm learning too, Darling. I'm learning that those kids have more class than a lot of adults I know," Joel said.

Sally's giggling caused Laura and Joel to stop talking.

"If you ask me, I think that if someone makes a mistake they should be spanked," Sally said and then she laughed.

"No, if we decide that, you'll make mistakes all day," Jack said.

"Who, me?" Sally replied as she screwed her finger into her cheek.

Kim and Tom laughed. The rest of the teens looked at Sally. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "What can I say?"

Jack leaned close to Sally and whispered, "Maybe I should tie you up in the stateroom so you don't get into trouble."

Sally moved closer to Jack and said, "Promises, promises. I suppose you would send the guys down to take advantage of me too."

"No, that wouldn't be punishment at all, would it?" Jack said.

Sally giggled and shook her head. Jenny told them to stop whispering.

The group finished their meals and headed back to the house. Jack drove one of the cars while Tom drove another. Eddie drove the van and followed them.

Molly sat in the backseat between Kathy and Sally. Kathy rested her hand on Molly's knee. When Molly looked at Kathy, Kathy kissed her. The two girls maintained the kiss for a moment. Sally bumped against Molly and the kissing stopped.

"That's not fair," Sally said.

Molly looked at Kathy. She grinned and then turned to Sally. Taking Sally's face between her hands, Molly kissed her. Molly opened her mouth and Sally's tongue shot in. Their tongues flicked together and then Sally put her hand on Molly's breast. Molly moaned into Sally's mouth.

"Kathy is right, you do feel great, Molly," Sally said.

The two girls giggled. Kathy grabbed Molly's other breast and said, "I told you she feels great."

Sally leaned across Molly and gave Kathy a quick kiss. "I'll bet she tastes great too," Sally said.

Molly blushed when Kathy said, "She has a wonderful tasting pussy. You should try it some time."

Sally slid her hand under Molly's dress. She rubbed her thigh just below Molly's crotch. "Maybe I will—someday," Sally said. She kissed Molly again, removed her hand, and sat back.

"I told you so," Kathy whispered in Molly's ear. The two of them kissed and then settled back for the rest of the ride.

When Eddie parked in the drive, the teens got out of the van. They went into the house with the others. Sally giggled and grabbed Molly's and Kathy's hands. She led them through the house and into the yard. When they reached the pool, Sally let go and began to undress. Kathy laughed and started to undress too.

"Get naked, Molly. We're going swimming," Sally said.

Molly laughed and removed her dress. The three girls tossed their clothes on the lounges, held hands, and jumped into the water. They came up and swam around for a few moments. Sally moved into shallow water and waved Kathy and Molly over to her.

"Those three are crazy," Laura said as she stood with Joel watching the teens frolicking in the pool.

Joel moved behind Laura. He put his arms around her and kissed the back of her neck. "I'm crazy too you know. I'm crazy about you."

Jenny and Kim scooted past Joel and Laura. They ran to the pool, stripped, and joined the other girls in the water. The five of them splashed and played grab ass.

Tom, Eddie, Brad, and Jack went outside. They sat next to the pool and watched the naked girls play.

"We have some pretty hot girlfriends, don't we?" Tom said.

"Yes we do! Eddie here has two of them," Brad said. "I think I should talk to Jenny and see if we can't find us a girlfriend."

"What if she wants another boyfriend?" Jack said.

"I guess it would be fair," Brad replied and then he laughed. "I don't know how it would work out, but I'm not a hypocrite."

"That's good. I don't think my sister would like it if you tried to have some kind of double standard," Eddie said.

"No, I'm sure she wouldn't," Brad said.

Jack and Tom shared a knowing glance. They wondered if either Brad or Eddie had ever done anything with another guy. While they preferred girls, both Jack and Tom had sex with guys before.

"Well, do you guys want to join them?" Brad said.

"Not right now. I'd rather watch them for a while," Eddie said. "It's fun to see them goofing around."

"Molly seems to have an eye for Sally. I noticed them fooling around on the way back from dinner, Eddie," Brad said. "Kathy, Molly, and Sally were kissing each other in the backseat of the van."

"That doesn't surprise me at all. Sally likes girls too," Jack said.

"No problem with that?" Eddie said.

"None at all. I want her to be happy," Jack said.

"You could tell her not to fool around with them though, couldn't you?" Brad said.

"Yes, and she wouldn't do it. That's not what our relationship is all about," Jack said. "Sally trusts me and I respect her and her wishes. She wouldn't do anything unless I said she could, but I won't stop her."

"She's fooling around with Molly now. Did she ask you first?" Tom said.

"Yes she did. Sally has a way of asking without using words. At the restaurant, she looked at Molly and raised her eyebrow. I knew what she wanted and I nodded so she would know it was okay," Jack said.

Brad stood up and went to the edge of the pool. He watched the girls for a moment and then said, "Can we join you, or is this a girls' night?"

Kim moved behind Jenny. She put her arms around Jenny's body and grabbed her breasts. Jenny looked up at Brad and said, "What do you think? You boys can swim, but stay at your own end of the pool." Jenny laughed and then turned around so she could give Kim a quick kiss.

Shaking his head, Brad returned to the chairs. He sat down and laughed. "I guess they want us to stay away from them." He looked at Tom and Jack, remembering the story about Megan and Lisa. "Doesn't that bother you two? I mean after what happened..."

"This is much different, Brad. What happened between Lisa and me wasn't just because she preferred girls. I loved her, but not like I do Kim and Sally," Tom said.

Jack nodded. "I'm with Tom. There wasn't anything close to what I have with Sally between Megan and me. She was great and I really cared for her—I still do, but not like I care for Sally. Kim and I have a relationship that is unequaled too. You guys know what I'm talking about."

"I know exactly what you're talking about, Jack," Eddie said. "Until I met Molly, Kathy was my only girlfriend. Jenny and I tried to keep our hands off each other, but we've never been very successful. Brad and Kathy have the same problem, if that's what you want to call it."

"It's not a problem to me. I guess you never forget your first time or who you shared it with," Brad said. "I'll never forget my first blowjob either."

"Who can?" Eddie said.

Tom laughed. He glanced at Jack and they both laughed. Eddie asked what was so funny.

"I think Tom was remembering his first blowjob," Jack said.

"Why would your first blowjob be so funny, Tom?" Eddie said.

Jack grinned and said, "Because I gave it to him."

Brad and Eddie stared at Jack and Tom. After a few uncomfortable moments, Tom told them the story of the day on the boat after Kim had given Jack a blowjob. By the time Tom finished the story, they were all laughing.

"Why in the hell did you do that, Jack?" Brad asked.

"I don't know. It seemed like the thing to do at the time. I was getting tired of Tom asking what it felt like so I showed him," Jack said. "It's no big deal."

Eddie and Brad made faces. Tom laughed and shook his head.

"Have you ever watched two girls fool around?" Tom said.

"Yeah, sure we have," Eddie said. "We've seen Jenny and Kathy. Kathy and Molly do it all the time when I'm there."

Brad nodded.

"It's hot watching them, isn't it?" Tom said.

"Hotter than hell," Brad said.

"Don't you think it's hot for girls to watch two guys too?" Tom asked.

"I don't know," Eddie said. "I guess so. I've never thought about it. What, are you two bisexual or something?"

"If having sex with another guy makes me bi, then I guess I am. I don't get turned on when I see a naked guy or anything, but if in the heat of the moment I find a cock in my face, I'm not beyond sucking it," Jack said. "It can be a big turn on."

Eddie and Brad had trouble with what Tom and Jack were telling them. Neither of them could fathom having sex with another male. The girls getting out of the pool ended the conversation.

"Have a nice swim?" Eddie asked Kathy.

"Yeah, it was fun," Kathy said. "Did you guys enjoy watching us?"

"Of course. What guy wouldn't enjoy watching five sexy girls playing around naked?" Eddie said.

The girls went into the pool house to shower. When they came out, they dressed while the boys watched.

"It looks strange without the boat out there," Jack said as he pointed at the canal.

"No kidding. I guess we'll be docking Lady Guinevere at the marina now. I heard my dad say your yacht was almost ready for delivery," Brad said.

"That's what we were told today. Jeri thinks the boat will be ready in a week, two weeks tops," Jack said.

"Have you guys decided about moving yet?" Jenny asked.

"We want to move down here as soon as we can. I think we'll move right after we get out of school," Sally said. "I can't wait!"

Molly smiled and said, "Neither can we."

The teens sat by the pool and talked. The warm evening air felt good to all of them.

In the house, the adults made their final plans for their trip to the Bahamas. They decided to head down early on Friday now that Laura was unemployed. Joel assured Laura and the others there wouldn't be a problem with him getting away.

At nine, Harry went outside to talk to Eddie and Jenny. After a quick discussion, the teens decided they would go home with their parents that night. Harry told them they were going to leave in a few minutes.

The teens followed Harry into the house. Eddie told Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally he would pick them up in the morning so they could get the boat. Everyone said goodnight and Eddie, Jenny, Brad, Molly and Kathy headed home with their parents.

"Want me to drive?" Molly said to her mom.

Joel handed Molly the keys to his car and said, "Yes, please. We've had a few drinks tonight."

Joel sat up front with Molly as she headed to the house. He normally would have driven even though he'd had a couple drinks, but after seeing how Don handled it, he decided to let Molly drive. She felt privileged to be able to drive Joel's luxury car.

"Here we are," Molly said after parking in the driveway. She got our and headed for the door.

"Honey, Joel needs his keys so he can go home," Laura said when she caught up to her daughter. Joel followed the women into the house.

"Nope, he's been drinking so he has to stay here tonight," Molly said.

"I'm fine, Molly," Joel said.

"I'm sure you are, but I'm not giving you the keys." Molly put the keys in her bra. "You'll just have to spend the night with Mom and me."

"Okay, you win. Get me a blanket and pillow and I'll sack out on the couch," Joel said.

Molly giggled. "Why would you do that? Mom has a nice big bed and I'm sure she would rather you stayed in it with her. Besides, I'll bet you would go to her room as soon as I was asleep anyway."

"You're too smart for your own good, Molly," Laura said.

"Not really, Mom. I just don't want you two to feel you have to sneak around because of me. Remember, don't put anyone into a position where they have to lie," Molly said.

Laura gave Molly a hug. "You're the best, Honey," Laura whispered.

"Just keep the noise down," Molly said.

"I know, you have to get up in the morning," Laura said.

"No, I don't want to feel jealous. I'm not used to sleeping alone anymore," Molly replied.

"Goodnight, Molly," Laura said.

Molly gave Joel a hug. He hugged her back and said, "Thanks. Goodnight, Honey."

Molly skipped down the hall to her room. She stripped down to her underwear, removed the keys from her bra, and giggled. Wearing her matching bra and panties, she went back to the living room.

"I'll give these back to you if you promise not to drive tonight," Molly said to Joel.

"Give him the keys. Joel isn't going anywhere tonight," Laura said with a chuckle.

Molly dropped the keys in Joel's hand. She winked at her mom and went back to her room. After removing the rest of her clothes, she climbed into bed. Molly ran her hand down her body and between her legs. She rubbed her sex while thinking about the fun she had in the pool with the other girls. While no one really did anything, the causal touching and innuendoes excited her. It had been a while since she masturbated and Molly planned to enjoy every moment.

"Are you ready for bed?" Laura asked Joel.

"Don't you think we should wait until Molly falls asleep?" Joel replied.

Laura moved closer to Joel on the couch. She put her hand on his crotch and began massaging his penis and testicles. Laura kissed his cheek and said, "Okay, if you want to wait."

Joel shifted as Laura pulled down the zipper of his slacks. She fished his penis out and gently stroked it. Looking up, she smiled. Laura lowered her head and began licking Joel's growing member. She took it in her mouth and swirled her tongue around the glans.

"Damn, Laura, what if Molly comes back out?" Joel said, but he didn't stop her.

Laura lifted her head and smiled. "Then she'll see her mom giving the man she loves a blowjob. There are worse things that could happen."

Laura returned her mouth to his member. She took half of him in and then bobbed her head. Joel wasn't that big, but half of his penis was all she could handle without gagging. Joel finally pulled her off and sat Laura up.

"You win; let's go to bed, Honey," Joel said.

Laura and Joel went to her room. She waited for him to undress her before she began removing his shirt and pants. When they were naked, they climbed onto the bed. Laura fell into his arms and they began kissing. He entered her and her world felt right. Laura held Joel's upper arms while he slowly moved in her.

"This is so good with you, Darling," Laura said softly.

Joel kissed Laura and then said, "Why won't you marry me?"

"I will, Joel, I'll marry you. I love you and I need you."

Joel stopped moving. He kissed Laura and then said, "Are you serious?"

"Yes and not because of what happened with my job. I'll marry you because I love you."

"When?" Joel asked.

"Just as soon as I find a job, Honey. I know you'll take care of Molly and me. You've told me that repeatedly and I believe you. I want to find a job for me, for my own self-worth. Please try to understand," Laura said.

"I'll try to understand, but you have to forgive me if I pester you about it. I want you for my wife."

Joel began to move again. His motion was slow and steady. Laura began moving her body up to meet his thrusts. She lifted her legs and hooked her heels over his calves. Laura moaned and bit Joel's shoulder.

"Baby, this is nice, but I need you to fuck me!" Laura growled, as she got closer to an orgasm.

Joel stopped moving. Looking into her eyes he said, "Are you sure?"

"I've never been surer of anything in my life. You are a wonderful lover, but what I need right now is for you to pound your cock into me as hard as you can. I need to feel your strength and have you show me I'm your woman," Laura said.

Joel had never heard Laura talk as she was. Her eyes told him she was serious about what she told him to do. Pulling out of her, Joel rolled Laura onto her stomach. He pulled her hips up with one hand and guided his penis into her vagina with the other. Gripping her hips, Joel slammed into her.

Laura let out a grunt and then shoved her bottom back at Joel. Each time he pulled back and started back in, she met him half way. His hips smacked her butt and the sound echoed in the room.

"Oh fuck, yes. That's what I want," Laura spat. "Fuck me as hard as you can. Shove your cock clear through me!"

Joel's passion, fueled by Laura's pleading, caused him to increase the intensity of his thrusts. Their bodies moved against each other's in animalistic rutting. When Joel grabbed one of Laura's swaying breasts and squeezed it hard, she let out a throaty groan. She reached under her heaving body and rubbed her clit as fast as she could.

Laura felt her orgasm build and then consume her. Her body shook and her legs cramped as the pleasure ripped through her body. For several moments, she saw bright flashes of light with her closed eyes. Laura mumbled incoherently while Joel kept driving his penis into her convulsing vagina. When she went limp, he held her up and continued to move. Joel grabbed her shoulders with both hands so he could pull her back against his unending assault.

Joel's lust finally peaked. He slammed into her one more time and ejaculated with such strong pulses it felt as if his anus was being pulled through his body. Laura dropped her head to the bed and moaned. She could feel his penis throbbing in her vagina and his semen filling her. Completely spent Joel fell forward. He pressed Laura's body into the mattress and gasped for air. After a moment, he rolled onto his side.

Stroking her damp hair, Joel said, "Laura, are you alright? Did I hurt you?" Joel kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry, I lost control."

Laura turned so she could look into Joel's eyes. She grinned and kissed his mouth so hard their teeth clacked together. They kissed for a few minutes and then Laura removed her mouth from his.

"Baby, that was awesome! No one has screwed me like that in my life. You have awoken the sleeping genie and I don't think you can put her back in the bottle. Are you sure you still want me for your wife?" Laura said.

"Yes I do. As far as putting the genie back in the bottle, why would I? That was by far the best sex I've ever had too. I guess we're made for each other."

"Is there anything you've ever wanted to do sexually but never could find someone that would do it for you?" Laura asked.

"Yes, there are many things I thought would be nice to try. One of them is having a woman go down on me after we screwed."

Laura giggled like a schoolgirl. She scooted down and slurped Joel's penis into her mouth. Using her tongue and making as much noise as she could, Laura cleaned his member. She removed it from her mouth, rubbed it over her face, and then began sucking again. Surprising him, Joel's penis swelled in Laura's mouth. She increased her efforts until his member filled her mouth and caused her to gag.

"Mmmm," Laura moaned as she bobbed her head up and down. Joel watched her giving him one of the best blowjobs he ever had.

Laura felt Joel swell in her mouth. She sucked firmer in anticipation of his semen. When Joel's penis sent the first jet of come into her mouth, Laura moaned. She felt Joel's member surge a couple more times and then stop. Laura held him between her lips as his penis went from rigid to flaccid.

Sitting up, Laura showed Joel the pool of semen in her mouth. She closed her mouth, swallowed, and then showed him again. "Yummy. Is there anything else you want?" Laura asked.

Joel chuckled. He pushed Laura on her back and pulled her legs open. Leaning forward, he licked her vulva until she reached another climax. Sated, they cuddled in each other's arms.

"Thanks, but you didn't have to do that. Not after we fucked," Laura said.

"You asked if there was anything else I wanted. That was what I wanted. Do you know how many women think a man is sick if he eats her after coming in her pussy?" Joel said.

"No, how many?" Laura asked with a chuckle.

"I don't really know, but all the women I've been with thought so."

"How many women have you been with?" Laura asked.

"I don't know, five or six I guess. Most of them were one night stands while I was in college. I only had one relationship. That lasted ten years."

"I have been with a few more men than that. I have to tell you, you're the first one to make me come like I did tonight. It's been great making love with you, but after that, you better be ready to give me a repeat performance."

"You surprise me. I never thought I would hear you talk like this."

"Does it bother you?" Laura said.

"No, I like it."

"Does that mean you want me to be a slut in the bedroom and a lady everywhere else?" Laura asked with a chuckle.

"Why limit yourself to the bedroom?" Joel said trying to one up her.

"Don't forget you said that, Lover. I might surprise you."

"Oh I'm sure you will. I think you're just full of surprises."

"I'm looking forward to our trip this weekend. I've never been to the Bahamas."

"So am I, Baby. I hope I don't wear you out. Hell, I hope you don't wear me out," Joel said.

"I'm going to try, Darling. I'm going to try. Now, do you think you have another one in you tonight?"

Molly slowly diddled herself. She was coming down from her forth orgasm. The thin walls of the house provided her with stimulus for her self-play. While she couldn't hear what they were saying, Molly could understand the moans and groans that had come from the room next to hers. When she heard her mom and Joel start again, she smiled and rolled over. She removed her hand, licked her fingers, and fell asleep.

Chapter 32


Molly pulled a long sleep shirt over her naked body. She stopped in the bathroom and then went to the kitchen. When Molly saw her mom standing at the counter, she giggled. Laura turned around and smiled.

"Good morning, Honey. Did you sleep well last night?" Laura asked.

Molly walked up to her mom, gave her a hug, and said, "Yeah, after the noise from your room stopped."

Laura gasped as she realized her daughter heard what went on between her and Joel. She also blushed.

"Um, just what did you hear?" Laura asked almost fearing her daughter's answer.

"Nothing you have to be worried about, Mom." Molly giggled. "I couldn't understand what you two were saying, but..."

Laura sighed and chuckled. "Sorry about that."

"You shouldn't be sorry, Mom. I'm happy for you," Molly said.

"Honey, Joel has been asking me to marry him. Last night I told him I would," Laura said.

"Really? Wow, that's so cool! When are you going to get married?" Molly asked. She hugged her mom tightly. "I'm so happy for you, Mom."

"Just as soon as she says we can," Joel said as he walked into the room.

Molly glanced at Joel, smiled, and wished him good morning. Joel walked over to Laura and Molly. He gave Laura a kiss and said, "It can't be soon enough for me."

"Joel, I told you last night why I want to wait," Laura said. She moved away from Molly and hugged Joel.

"I know, and I told you I would pester you," Joel said with a grin. "Tell your mother she should marry me as soon as we can put something together, Molly."

"Don't put me in the middle of this. I already told Mom I was happy for you two," Molly said.

"I need some time to figure out what I'm going to do now that I'm unemployed. I have to find a job first," Laura said.

Joel nodded and glanced at Molly. "I told her I would take care of her, but apparently she doesn't want to be a kept woman." Joel chuckled and added, "I completely understand. I may not be happy about it, but I will bide my time until she gives in and sets a date."

Molly poured a cup of coffee. When her mom asked why Molly didn't add cream and sugar, Molly said, "I've learned to drink it black. I don't like fooling with the cream and sugar while I'm on the boat. Now I like it this way. I'm going to take a shower. Eddie and Kathy are picking me up so we can go get the boat this morning."

"Molly heard us last night," Laura said after Molly left the kitchen.

"What did she hear?" Joel asked.

"She said she couldn't hear what we said, but I'm not too sure." Laura laughed and said, "Oh well, now she knows her mom likes sex."

Joel grinned. He slipped his hands into Laura's robe and began massaging her breasts. "I hope you enjoyed what we did last night. I know I did."

"I'm glad you did. I was a little worried that you would feel I was over the top. Joel, I never said anything like that to a man before." Laura let out a soft moan and pressed her chest into Joel's hands. "I meant every word though."

"I hope so. I've always wanted a woman that wasn't afraid of expressing her feelings or desires." Joel lowered one hand to Laura's crotch. He slipped his hand into her panties and rubbed her. "Do you think we have time?"

Laura giggled, something she hadn't done in years, and said, "If we hurry."

Joel removed Laura's panties. He stuffed them in the pocket of her robe and led her to the table. Turning her around, Joel bent Laura over the table. He freed his penis, fisted it and then slipped it into her vagina. Laura let out a grunt as Joel filled her.

"Tell me when you're ready, Baby," Laura said as she looked back at Joel.

"Okay, it won't be long," Joel said while sliding his penis in and out of Laura.

Joel pumped his member in and out of Laura. She pushed back, relishing the feeling. Laura thought of one of her trysts with Bill. He had bent her over the hood of his car in the bar parking lot one night. While it was fun with Bill, Laura felt something much more meaning full with Joel.

"Oh, Baby, I can't hold back much longer," Joel said.

Laura disengaged their bodies. She turned around, knelt on the floor and took Joel's penis in her mouth. A moment later, she felt his hot semen spraying her tongue. Laura sucked him firmly. She felt his member pulse and swell. When Joel's penis stopped, Laura swallowed. She removed his penis and licked it clean.

"Mmmm, that was so good," Laura said as she stood up and fastened her robe. "You better put your cock away before Molly gets back."

Joel tucked his spent member into his slacks. "That was amazing, but why did you finish me with your mouth?" Joel said.

"I didn't want come running down my legs when Molly came back." Laura kissed Joel. "We can do it right after she leaves—if you have time before you have to go to work."

"Baby, I'll make time! You are something else, do you know that?" Joel said.

"I just have to take care of my man, Sweetie!"

Laura and Joel sat at the table drinking coffee. They shared silly grins and winks. Molly came back, freshened her coffee, and joined them at the table.

"I'm ready to go. Will I see you two before we leave tomorrow morning?" Molly said.

"Yes, we'll stop by tonight. I want to meet the film crew," Laura said. "Do you have everything you need?"

"Yes, I think so. We have our uniforms and the clothes we got from Jenny's mom. I have a few things on the boat too," Molly said.

Molly jumped up when she heard the doorbell. She opened the door and let Eddie and Jenny into the house. They followed Molly into the kitchen to say hi to Laura and Joel. After a few moments, Eddie said they had to get going. Laura hugged Molly.

"I'll see you later, Molly. You kids be careful with the boat," Laura said.

"We always are, Mom," Molly said. She grabbed her overnight bag and the three teens left.

Eddie drove to Brad and Kathy's house. He honked the horn and Brad and Kathy came out. Jenny moved to one of the back seats with Brad and gave him a kiss. Kathy kissed Molly and then Eddie. She sat up front and Molly sat with Brad and Jenny.

Eddie parked near the guesthouse. They all got out and went to the door. Kim opened the door and invited them in. "We'll be ready in a few minutes. Make yourselves at home," Kim said.

"Are you guys getting excited about going to the Bahamas?" Kathy asked as she followed Kim to her bedroom.

"Yeah, I'm really geeked about going. We all are," Kim said.

Tom came out of the bathroom. He smiled and said, "Oops, I didn't know anyone was here."

"Don't worry about it. I've seen you naked before," Kathy said and then she giggled. "You don't have to get dressed on my account."

Tom laughed. He began dressing while Kim and Kathy talked about what they planned to wear on the way to the Bahamas.

"Can't girls make up their own minds when it comes to clothes?" Tom said.

"Shut up, you're a boy and boys don't understand," Kim said and then she stuck out her tongue.

"You're right, I don't understand. I don't think I ever will," Tom said.

Kathy giggled and said, "That's what makes us so mysterious."

Sally came into the room. She wore her bra and panties, but nothing else. "Are you wearing shorts today?" she asked Kim.

"Yeah, it's supposed to be nice," Kim replied as she showed Sally the shorts she planned to wear.

The group left to get the boat once everyone was dressed. Eddie drove to his dad's boatyard and parked near the office. Harry came out of the office and walked with the teens to the shed where they moored Lady Guinevere.

"We changed the oil in the engines and the generators. I had my mechanics service the heating and cooling systems and check all the hydraulic fluids. They also changed the filters on the watermaker. You kids should be good to go," Harry said.

The group went into the shed. They looked up at the boat and realized there were graphics on the side of the cabin. The graphics had the name of the fishing team as well as logos for the sponsors. Listed on the vinyl were Shimano, Marlin Perfect Lures, Bowman Boats, Unique Adventure Charters, and Sid's Tackle Shop. In the cockpit, there were more graphics with the same information on them.

"The graphics in the cockpit were put in so the cameras will get shots of them. When we, Don, Marc, Jack, and I, told your sponsors about being taped, they agreed to increase what they will give you if their names showed up on television," Harry said.

The teens looked at the graphics. Jenny looked up at her dad and said, "Do they come off?"

"Yes, they can be removed. We used a special vinyl and adhesive. All you have to do is get a corner started and then use a little window cleaner to remove them. Don't you want them on the boat?" Harry said.

"I don't know. We haven't talked about it yet. I didn't know you were going to have them installed," Jenny said.

"It's up to you, but before you decide to remove them, check the paper on the table in the galley. It explains what your major sponsors are willing to do for you," Harry said.

The teens went into the cabin. Jenny picked up the paper from the table and began reading it aloud. The rest of the group listened to Jenny as she listed the added benefits of having the sponsors' names displayed. "It looks like Shimano is willing to pay for trips if we test their new rods and reels. Marlin Perfect will also pay for fuel and food if we test their lures and provide reviews. What do you guys think?" Jenny said.

"I think we should do it. What difference does it make having our sponsors' names displayed? Who knows, we might pick up additional sponsors too," Jack said.

"I agree with Jack. I think it'll be okay," Eddie said.

"Okay, if anyone doesn't want to have the graphics on the boat, raise your hands," Jenny said. No one raised their hand. "It looks like it's settled. We keep the graphics."

Jenny went out to the cockpit to tell her dad about the vote. He said it was a wise choice. Jenny and Harry went back into the cabin.

"If you've ever watched bass fishing, you know that the fishermen all wear the names of their sponsors. You kids may just be exposing offshore fishing in much the same way the bass fishermen did years ago. Anything you do to bring attention to the sport will help insure its future," Harry said.

"Thanks for remembering Sid's Tackle Shop, Dad. I know he will appreciate it," Eddie said.

"Okay, I have to get to work. I have a yacht to finish," Harry said. He told the teens he would see them later and left the boat.

Eddie and Jack went up to the bridge. Eddie watched as Jack went through the checklist and started the engines. Once the two diesels were warm, Brad and Tom tended to the lines. Jack felt nervous as he backed the boat out of the slip and into the narrow channel. Eddie gave Jack instructions. When the boat was in the middle of the channel, Jack sighed in relief.

"That wasn't bad, was it?" Jack said while motoring slowly toward the ICW.

"No, you did great, Jack. It won't be long until you'll be able to do it alone," Eddie said.

On the way back to the house, Tom and Jack took turns at the helm. Tom eased the boat to the seawall while the rest of the teens stood ready. With the boat tied securely, and the water and power connected, the teens went up to the house.

"Are you kids hungry? We're fixing lunch," Marge said.

"I'm hungry, but then I'm always hungry," Brad said.

Marge and Anne placed a platter of ham and cheese sandwiches on the table. Kim and Sally took potatoes chips out of the cupboard. Kim asked Jenny and Molly to get the pickles and olives from the refrigerator.

"When are you kids planning to go grocery shopping?" Marge asked as she passed out cans of soda.

"This afternoon, Mom," Kim said. "We have our list made so all we have to do is get the things we need. Do you want to come with us?"

Marge glanced at Anne. Anne nodded and Marge said, "Sure, we'll go shopping with you girls."

After finishing lunch, the guys cleaned up so the girls could go shopping.

"Do you or Tom have a digital camera?" Eddie asked Jack. "I'd like to take a picture of the boat so we can show Sid his name is on it."

"I have one," Jack said. "I got a digital camcorder for my last birthday. Give me a minute. I'll run to the house and get it."

Jack jogged to the house, grabbed his camera, and returned to the boat. He took several still shots and shot some video of the graphics.

"Let's go to Sid's Tackle Shop. We can show him the pictures and pick up some hooks. There are several sizes we don't have yet," Eddie said.

Jack drove to the tackle shop. He and the others showed Sid the pictures of the boat. Sid thanked them for adding his name to the bright graphics.

"Sid, we need some hooks," Eddie said.

"Take what you need, Eddie," Sid told him. "If you decide to print any of those pictures, please make me a copy to hang in here."

"Will do, Sid. Tom can take a few pictures with his good camera and then we'll make a few enlargements for you," Jack said.

Eddie and Brad showed Tom and Jack the hooks they needed. He added packages of hooks to a basket while explaining each of their uses. When Eddie finished, he took the basket to the counter. Sid rang up the hooks. He took the tape from the register and made a note on it.

"You boys are all set. When are you heading to the tournament?" Sid said.

"In the morning," Brad said. "We want to get down there so we can practice."

"Will you be at the meeting tonight?" Sid asked.

"Oh crap! I forgot all about the club meeting. I think we'll be there tonight," Eddie said.

The four boys talked with Sid for a few minutes and then told him they would see him later. They headed home and took the tackle to the boat. Sally came aboard and told the guys they needed to come help carry the groceries.

"Why don't you just use the cart?" Tom said.

"We're going to. You guys can push," Sally said with a giggle.

The boys followed Sally to the car. They helped load the food and other things into the cart. It took two trips to carry all the items.

"We have a club meeting tonight," Eddie said while helping the girls put the things away.

"You're right, Eddie. I forgot all about it. I guess I've been too excited about the trip," Jenny said.

The teens finished stowing the food, soda, bottled water, and other things. Don and Marc came aboard to tell them the crew from ESPN had arrived. The group went to the house to meet the crew.

Everyone gathered in the living room. Pat Baker moved next to a man and a woman.

"I'd like to introduce you to Fran Barnet and Randy Wade. They will be taping you on your trip," Pat said. He chuckled and continued. "I'm sorry, but I don't remember all of your names. Why not just introduce yourselves?"

Jack moved closer to the two people. He extended his hand and introduced himself to Randy and then Fran. One by one, the teens followed suit. When they finished, Pat went on.

"Fran and Randy are cinematographers. They both graduated from NYU last year. They have been doing work for ESPN since. Fran has a degree in journalism as well as film. She will do the narrative for the pilot. Randy is a skilled a cameraman," Pat said.

The group sat in the living room and got to know each other. Marge and Anne offered cold drinks to anyone that wanted one. While they talked, Harry, Ellen, Sarah and Jack Waters came in. A few minutes later, Laura and Joel joined the group. Molly introduced Fran and Randy to her mom, Joel, and the other parents.

"Have either of you been on a fishing boat before?" Eddie asked.

"Yes, we both have. Fran and I worked on a shrimp boat last summer. We filmed a documentary about shrimp fishing in the Gulf of Mexico," Randy said.

"Do you guys get seasick?" Jenny asked.

"We haven't yet," Fran said with a chuckle. "That was a very good question, Jenny."

"Thanks. We get pretty busy when we're fishing and there isn't much time to nurse anyone. We also can't run back in to get someone off the boat," Jenny said.

"Fran and I will try to stay out of the way. When can we see the boat?" Randy said.

"We can go out now if you want to," Eddie said.

The teens led Fran and Randy outside. When he saw the boat, Randy stopped and said, "Damn, Pat said it was big, but I didn't realize it would be that big."

The group went aboard. Fran and Randy began looking around the cockpit. They made comments about how nice the boat was and talked about positions for taping. Jenny led Fran and Randy up to the sundeck off the bridge. Then she took them inside.

"This is going to be a blast," Fran said. "I can't wait to get started."

"Where is your equipment?" Jenny asked.

"It's out in Pat's truck. He picked us up at the airport this afternoon," Randy said. "I noticed cameras outside. What do you use them for?"

"We have cameras in most parts of the boat and the engine room." Jenny giggled as she pointed at a flat screen monitor. "Everywhere except the staterooms and heads. We can monitor the cameras from here or from the saloon. The cameras that cover the cockpit are connected to a digital recorder."

"Why would you want to record?" Fran asked.

"In case of a dispute in a tournament and to help us learn. We can review the recordings and pick up mistakes," Jenny said.

Jenny led Randy and Fran down to the cabin. She showed them the galley, saloon and day head. When Jenny showed them the staterooms, both Fran and Randy expressed how nice everything was.

"Did you two get the nickel tour?" Jack asked when Jenny brought Randy and Fran back to the cockpit.

"Yes, the boat is gorgeous," Fran said.

"Do you want to get your gear aboard? We can help you if you'd like," Brad said.

"Thanks, yes we would like to get our equipment out of the truck. Where would you like us to put it?" Randy said.

Kathy led them to the crew's quarters. "You can use the crew's quarters if it will work for you."

"Yes, this will work fine. It's a lot nicer than some of the places we've had to set up," Fran said.

Randy, Jack, Eddie, Tom, and Brad went to the house. They loaded the equipment into a dock cart and took it to the boat. Randy and Fran stowed their things in the crew's quarters.

"We have a meeting tonight. Would you two like to come with us? It's our fishing club," Jenny said.

"Sure, that would be great. It will give us a chance to get to know all of you a little better. Are the members going to be fishing in the tournament?" Randy said.

"A few will, but I don't know who. We'll find out tonight," Jenny said.

They all went back to the house. Don told them he ordered pizzas for dinner and that the food would be there soon. While they waited, the group talked and got to know one another. The parents asked Fran and Randy about other assignments. They learned that Randy and Fran worked on outdoor programs. They told the parents about doing several programs on hunting, as well as fishing.

"Do you work for ESPN or are you contractors?" Joel asked.

"Fran and I are freelancers. We enjoy working outdoors and doing stories on hunting and fishing. We did some work for The Discovery Channel during the summers when we were in college," Randy said.

The pizzas arrived. Don and Pat argued about who was going to pay for the food and Pat won. The group sat on the patio to eat and enjoy the warm weather.

"It's a lot nicer here than in New York," Fran said. "I don't mind working in the cold and snow, but I don't like living in it."

"I know what you mean. Jack, Tom, Kim, and I are from Michigan," Sally said.

"Yeah, but not for long. Right Sally?" Jenny said.

"No, we're moving down here after we get out of school. I can't wait," Sally said.

The group finished eating. They told their parents they were going to the fishing club meeting and that Randy and Fran were going with them.

"Where are you staying?" Don asked Randy.

"I don't know. Pat hasn't told us yet," Randy said.

Eddie overheard Randy and Don. He gathered the rest of the team and asked if they thought they should invite Randy and Fran to stay on the boat that night. Everyone agreed they could stay in the crew's quarters.

"Fran, Randy, if you'd like, you can stay on the boat with us tonight. There's plenty of room in the crew's quarters," Eddie said. "That way we can get going early tomorrow morning."

"That would be great. Are you sure you don't mind?" Fran said.

"No, we don't mind at all. We have to get going or we're going to be late for our meeting," Eddie said.

"How are you kids going to get there?" Harry asked.

"Um, I don't know," Jenny said.

Harry laughed and told the kids he brought the van.

"Would anyone mind if we brought a camera? We might be able to get some tape at your meeting," Randy said.

"No, but we have to hurry," Eddie said.

"You guys get in the van. I'll take Randy to the boat so he can get what he needs," Tom said.

Tom and Randy jogged down to the boat. Randy went below, grabbed a case, and returned. The two of them jogged back to the van and got in. Eddie pulled away and headed for the meeting.

"Hi Tom," Jenny said when she saw Tom Gordon. "How are you doing?"

"I'm well, Jenny. How about you kids? Are you headed down to the Bahamas for the tournament?" Tom said.

"Yes, we're leaving in the morning. Are you going?" Jenny said.

"I'm going down, but I'm not fishing. I'm one of the judges this year," Tom said.

"That's cool. Tom, I'd like you to meet the newest members of our team. This is Jack and Kim Graham, Tom and Sally Lewis, and Molly Durham. Tom has taught us a lot about fishing and sportsmanship," Jenny said.

"I don't know how much I've taught you kids. It's nice to meet all of you. I noticed your names on the club roster. It's always great to have new members," Tom said. "I have to get going. I'm running the meeting tonight."

"He's really nice, isn't he?" Jack said.

"Yeah, Tom's great. He taught Jenny and me a lot about fishing," Eddie said.

The teens found two tables close together and sat down. Randy pulled out a camcorder and attached the microphone. Fran grabbed a notebook from the case.

"Let me check with Tom and make sure he doesn't mind if you tape during the meeting," Eddie said. "I'll be right back."

Eddie found Tom Gordon. He told Tom about the film crew and asked if they could tape during the meeting.

"I don't think it would be a problem," Tom said. "The club can always use exposure."

Eddie returned to the table. He told Randy and Fran what Tom Gordon said. They thanked Eddie and went to work. Randy got up and began taping the teens at the table. He also scanned the room to capture the other members.

Several of the members came over to greet Jenny, Eddie, Kathy, and Brad. Jenny introduced the new members of the fishing team to the other members.

When Tom Gordon opened the meeting, everyone turned their attention to him. He went over several items regarding the club and then introduced Jack, Tom, Kim, Sally, and Molly as new members. He told the group the teens joined several months ago, but that they had been up north in Michigan.

"I'm not a member," Molly whispered to Kathy.

"Don't worry about it. You will be soon enough. I'll pick up an application so your mom can fill it out," Kathy whispered back.

"I hear the Lady Guinevere fishing team is heading to the Bahamas this weekend. They're fishing the Billfish Classic. Are there any other members fishing the tournament?" Tom Gordon said.

Nate Johansson stood up. "I'm not fishing this year, but I'm going down."

A girl stood up and said, "My dad and I are going to fish the tournament."

"That's Tammy Pratt. She's a member of the youth group," Jenny said. "Her dad told me she didn't like to fish until we started the youth division."

Another member stood up and said his team would be going down to fish too. Tom Gordon wished everyone good luck.

The speaker came up and introduced himself. He gave a talk on fishing for snook and bonefish using fly fishing tackle. After his talk, a few of the members began selling raffle tickets while there was a break.

"Jack, may I buy some tickets?" Sally asked.

Jack smiled. He reached into his pocket and pulled out some bills. He gave Sally forty dollars and told her to buy tickets for the team. Sally grabbed Molly's hand and went to find a seller.

During the drawing, Sally and Molly checked the tickets against the numbers that were drawn. None of the tickets won. The meeting broke up at ten o'clock. The teens milled around and visited with some of the members before getting ready to leave. Randy and Fran interviewed several of the members and taped them.

"I want to know more about the club's youth division," Fran said on the way to the van. "Several of the adults we talked with told us they thought the division was a great asset to the club."

"We'll have plenty of time to talk about it on the way down tomorrow. The trip will take us about four hours," Jenny said.

The teens, along with Randy and Fran, went into the main house. They told their parents about the meeting. Molly gave her mom the application and asked if she would join so Molly could become a member of the youth division. Laura said yes without looking at the application.

After talking with the parents for a few minutes, the teens decided to head for the boat. Marge asked what time they planned to leave. Eddie told her they wanted to leave by seven and Marge told him breakfast would be ready at six.

Randy and Fran sat in the saloon with the teens. They talked about what to expect on the upcoming trip. Jenny told Randy and Fran that when they fished, they all worked together. The teens told them about the things they should watch for when they set up and while they fished.

"We better get to bed if we're going to be up at five," Eddie said.

The teens told Randy and Fran goodnight. Jenny took them to the crew's quarters to make sure they knew where everything was. Jenny showed Randy and Fran the head and explained how it worked.

"Thanks, Jenny. I think we'll be okay," Fran said. "Thanks for letting us stay on the boat tonight."

"Yeah, thanks a lot. I don't have an alarm clock. Will you wake us up in the morning?" Randy said.

Jenny giggled and said, "We start the engines to warm them up." She pointed at the bulkhead. "The engines are on the other side of that bulkhead. You'll know when we're up."

Jenny left Randy and Fran. She went back to the saloon to talk with the rest of the group.

"How are we going to sleep tonight?" Molly asked. "I mean, should we be careful because Randy and Fran are here?"

"I don't think we have to change our normal sleeping arrangement. Fran and Randy won't come to our staterooms," Eddie said.

"Okay, if you say so," Molly said with a big grin on her face.

The teens went below. They said goodnight in the passageway and went to their staterooms.

"This is cozy, isn't it?" Fran said to Randy.

"Yes, it's very cozy." Randy put his arms around Fran and kissed her.

Fran snuggled against Randy. She ran her hand up and down his back while they hugged. Randy moved back, grabbed the hem of Fran's tee shirt, and pulled it over her head. She began unfastening his jeans as he unhooked her bra. I few moments later, they stood naked.

Randy led Fran to the berth and pulled back the covers. They got into bed and cuddled together. Randy kissed Fran and said, "Goodnight, Sweetheart."

"Night, Baby. See you in the morning," Fran said.

-------

The roar of the engines and the vibration caused Randy to bolt upright. He looked around and then chuckled. Fran sat up next to him and stretched.

"Jenny wasn't kidding, was she?" Fran said. "The engines are loud!"

"We better get going, Sweetheart. I'll shower first and then you can get ready," Randy said.

Fran chuckled and said, "Why don't we shower together? It'll save water."

Randy and Fran went to the head. The crew's shower stall wasn't as large as the ones in the staterooms, but it was big enough for them to share. They washed each other, dried off, and dressed for the day.

When Randy and Fran emerged from the crew's quarters, they saw Kathy and Eddie in the cockpit. Eddie greeted them and told them he and Kathy were waiting for the others. The team assembled in the cockpit and then headed to the house.

"Did you guys sleep well last night?" Kim asked Randy and Fran.

"Yes, right up until the engines started," Fran said with a chuckle.

"Did you find everything you needed?" Kim said.

"Yes, thank you," Randy said.

The group went into the house. Marge, Anne, Don, and Marc were up and in the kitchen. Don offered everyone coffee and asked if they were ready to leave.

"Mmmm, something smells good. Is my mom here?" Molly asked.

"Yes she is. Laura will be right back. She went to get Joel up," Anne said.

Laura came back followed by Joel. She went to the oven, opened the door, and pulled out a tray of fresh baked sweet rolls. The teens waited impatiently for them to cool.

"These are to die for," Jack said as he pointed at the sweet rolls. "Molly's mom bakes the best stuff I've ever tasted."

The rest of the group also praised Laura's baking skills. Molly beamed with pride. She couldn't help grinning as she listened to her friends. Laura tried to brush it off, but the teens were relentless. Jack, Tom, Brad, and Eddie told Randy and Fran about the things Laura baked for them.

"These should be cool enough to eat," Laura said. She used a spatula to serve the sweet rolls. The teens waited for her to put one of the rolls on their plate. Tom said they should allow their guests to get theirs first.

The group sat at the table. They ate the sweet rolls and told Laura how good they tasted. Marge and Anne began frying bacon for breakfast. Jack and Sarah Waters came in with Harry and Ellen. The kitchen buzzed while the women prepared the food and the men served.

After breakfast, the teens talked with their parents. They agreed to keep in contact and let them know when they arrived at the marina in the Bahamas. Don handed Jack an envelope and said it was spending money for the trip.

The teens said goodbye to their parents. The adults walked down to the boat, standing at the seawall while their children prepared to leave. As the boat pulled away from the seawall, the parents waved.

Randy went down to the crew's quarters. He returned to the cockpit with two large black plastic cases. When he asked, Jenny told him he could put his gear in the main saloon. Fran went into the cabin with Randy. They unpacked the things they would need for the time being.

Fran put on a belt pack with the recorder for the microphone she planned to use. Randy took out a video camera and put in a fresh battery pack. Once they were ready, Randy and Fran went back out to the cockpit.

"We would like to tape you guys while we travel," Randy said. "Fran will record you, if it's okay."

"That's cool, just tell us what you want us to do," Jenny said.

"Could we start up where you drive the boat? Maybe all of us could go up there," Fran said.

Kathy giggled and said, "That's the bridge. We can all go up if that's what you want."

The group went up to the bridge. Eddie stood behind Kim as she steered the boat through the canal. He stayed close, telling her how to maneuver the boat without over-steering. Sally stood next to Kim, listening to what Eddie said.

"Kim and Sally are learning how to handle the boat. We feel it's important that the entire crew knows how to do everything. No one is more important than anyone else," Jenny said.

Randy taped and Fran recorded while the teens talked. Holding her microphone toward Jenny, Fran said, "Who is the captain?"

"Jenny is the captain," Molly said. Fran moved the microphone so she would pick up what Molly said.

"We have to have a captain for the tournaments. We all decided it should be Jenny," Molly continued. "She was the captain of the other boat."

"So, this isn't your first boat?" Fran asked. She moved the microphone toward Jenny.

"No, Eddie, Brad, Kathy, and I fished on my dad's boat before we got this one. It's a nice boat, but this one is bigger," Jenny said.

Eddie reached around Kim to point at a gauge. "You have to make sure the engines run at the same RPM. If one runs slower, the boat will pull to that side and you have to steer to compensate. If they're running at the same speed, the boat should track in a straight line," Eddie said.

Kim noted one engine's RPMs were slower than the other was. She gripped the throttle for the port engine and slowed it. Watching the tachometers, she adjusted the speed until she synchronized the two engines.

"We have a synchronizer, but you need to learn how to do it with the throttles, Kim. It's important to be able to do things manually in the event something fails," Eddie said.

While Eddie talked to Kim, Fran and Randy captured it on tape and recorded what they said. Jack and Brad stood back and watched what was going on. It was a bit crowded in the enclosed bridge, but they managed.

Sally took over at the helm. As he did with Kim, Eddie stood behind Sally. He helped her hold the boat in place while they waited for a drawbridge. Sally used the throttles and transmissions to hold the boat steady. Eddie told her to use the bow thruster too.

"Okay, power her up, Sally. You need more speed when going through the inlet. It can get a little rough. The faster you're going, the more control you have," Eddie said.

Sally eased the throttles forward. The boat responded, pushing through the choppy water in the inlet. Once she was in open water, Eddie told her to take the engines up to cruising speed.

"Jack, you can program our course into the chart plotter," Brad said. He pulled out a chart and unrolled it on the chart table.

Brad showed Jack their destination. He showed Jack the place they should make a turn. Jack noted the coordinates on a pad. He went to the chart plotter and punched in the numbers.

"Can't you just use the chart plotter for your course?" Randy asked.

"Yes, but you have to know how to read a chart too. Depending too much on the electronics can get you in trouble. Learning to navigate is very important to everyone's safety," Brad said.

With the boat on course and at cruising speed, Eddie showed Sally how to set the autopilot. She turned the unit on and then made sure the boat stayed on course. Eddie told Sally that she was at the helm and responsible for making sure they stayed on course.

"It looks like Sally is really taking to this," Brad said to Jack.

"She is having a blast, Brad. Sally loves learning new things," Jack replied proudly.

Randy and Fran stopped taping and recording. They went down to the saloon to put their gear away.

"I can't believe how well those kids seem to get along," Fran said as she took off the belt. "I think this assignment is going to be fun."

"They aren't that much younger than we are, Hon," Randy said.

"I know. In fact, the way they act makes me forget how young they are. Those girls seem very mature for fifteen and sixteen years old," Fran said.

"Can you imagine our parents letting us do something like this when we were their ages?" Randy said as he put his arms around Fran.

"No I can't. This would sure beat the hell out of the backseat of your dad's car, wouldn't it?" Fran said.

"It did last night, Baby," Randy said with a chuckle.

Kathy saw Randy and Fran holding each other when she came down to get coffee for the others. She cleared her throat to announce her presents. Fran and Randy separated and Fran blushed. Kathy ignored them and prepared a carafe of hot coffee.

"Make yourselves at home," Kathy said as she started up the steps to the bridge. "There's hot coffee in the pot and sodas in the refrigerator."

"Thanks," Fran said as Kathy disappeared.

Fran poured coffee for her and Randy. They stood in the galley for a moment contemplating what happened.

"I think we should tell them we're a couple, Hon," Randy said.

Fran nodded. They went up to the bridge to join the others.

"Um, I think we need to come clean. Randy and I are a couple," Fran announced. "We've been going together since high school. I guess we thought it would cause a problem if you knew. We try to keep it a secret when we're working."

"That's not necessary around here," Brad said. "Just be yourselves and everything will be fine."

"Do you mind if I ask you guys a question?" Fran said.

"You're a journalist, I'd be surprised if you didn't," Jack replied with a chuckle. "After all, we don't have to answer if we don't want to, do we."

Fran smiled and shook her head. "I think Jack and Sally are a couple. The way she looks at him makes me think so. How about the rest of you? Are any of you together?"

The teens looked at one another and began laughing. Jenny moved closer to Fran and said, "Okay, here's the skinny. Brad and I are a couple. So are Tom and Kim. Eddie, Kathy, and Molly are all together."

"That's a bit different, isn't it?" Randy said. "I mean, Eddie, Molly, and Kathy."

"We don't think so, Randy." Molly moved next to Kathy and put her arm around Kathy's waist. Eddie put his arm around Molly.

"Look, we do what we want to do and don't make excuses to anyone. If the fact we're couples is going to affect your ability to be objective, please say so. We don't want our personal lives to be the focus of your program," Jack said.

Randy and Fran stood and stared at Jack for a moment. Finally, Randy said, "How old are you, Jack?"

"Seventeen," Jack replied.

"I wish I had been as insightful when I was your age. Look, our pilot is about fishing, your fishing. It's impossible for us to ignore the fact you all have relationships too. Fran and I will remain objective and concentrate on the fishing, but the personal perspective will make the pilot that much more interesting to the viewers," Randy said.

"Our relationships aren't like what you see on MTV. We aren't drama queens or anything like that. We all get along. I can't stand the way most of the actors behave on those silly reality shows," Jenny said.

"No one is going to be thrown overboard," Kim said with a giggle. "We're a team, all of us. We also care about one another."

"You wouldn't be able to hide that," Fran said. "Even if Randy and I didn't know, it would come out in the program. You guys can't help it. The fact you care shows."

"Besides, you all have the final say. You will be part of the editing process and can throw out anything you don't like. I agree with Fran, you wouldn't be able to hide your relationships forever. I think we should use the relationships to enhance the show," Randy said.

Sally turned her attention from the helm to the conversation. She looked at Jack and said, "Leave our relationships out. We don't want the program to be about us, we want it to be about us fishing. If you can't do that, I think we should scrap the idea."

Kim looked at Sally and furrowed her brow. Sally smiled and said, "Think about it, Kim. How will it look if the whole world finds out we're cousins?"

There was an uneasy silence for a moment. Jack nodded and said, "Sally's right, we can't have a show that goes into our private lives. Randy, Fran, can you make the pilot without stressing our relationships?"

"Yes, we can keep that out of the program to some degree. As we said, it will be very hard to hide. People will see the closeness everyone shares," Fran said. "Randy and I will work it out though. We still feel the program will be interesting and the viewers will want to see it."

Sally turned back to the helm. Jack walked over and whispered, "I love you, Baby." Sally giggled and nodded her head.

Jack and Brad went out to the sundeck. They sat down and watched the wake the boat created as it cut through the blue water.

"I didn't know Sally could be so assertive," Brad said.

"You have no idea! That girl knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. She can be a real whirlwind when she wants to be," Jack said.

"I thought she was, um, I don't know how to say it," Bran said.

"Submissive? Sally is toward me, but that is what she wants. Far be it for me to deny her," Jack said with a chuckle.

"Somehow, I believe you. Sally is something else, isn't she?"

"Yup, and that's why I love her like I do."

Brad and Jack sat quietly for a few minutes. Tom and Eddie came out and took seats.

"Do you guys think this is going to work?" Eddie said. "I never thought about the fact Jack and Tom were with their cousins. I can see why Sally was so adamant about keeping the relationships out of the program."

"I didn't think about it either. If my sister hadn't said something, I wouldn't have," Tom said. "I was so excited about the idea of being on television that I didn't consider the possible repercussions."

"You, shit, we all were, Tom. Sally seems to be the only one of us that was able to see the downside. I know we can keep what goes on between all of us out of the limelight," Eddie said. "I don't think the fact that Kathy, Molly, and I are together would play well either."

"Do you mind if I join you?" Randy asked as he came out onto the sundeck.

"Not at all, have a seat," Jack said.

"Fran and I are sorry about all of this. We didn't really think of the fact Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim are related. We can keep that out of what we tape. If anything shows up, we'll edit it out of the program. Fran and I want this to work. It could be our big break. We've been freelancing for a while now and we want a steady gig," Randy said.

"None of us thought about it, Randy. That's what we were talking about when you came out here," Jack said.

"Fran is talking to the girls right now. We have an idea that might work if you're interested," Randy said.

"We're open to anything," Brad said.

"We know you're all couples, but you don't have to let the viewers know who is with whom. If we do it right, it will create suspense. Viewers will watch to see the fishing as well as try to figure out how everyone fits together," Randy said. "Think about it. Fran and I don't need an answer right away."

It was close to eleven in the morning when the island came into view. Eddie went into the enclosed bridge to make sure someone covered the helm that could dock the boat in the slip. When they were a few minutes away from the opening to the marina, Eddie called the harbormaster on the radio. He gave the man the name of the boat and waited for the slip assignment.

"You're in slip seventy three, Man," the harbormaster said in a thick accent.

Eddie thanked the harbormaster. He watched Kim ease the boat into the marina. "Do you want me to take her?" Eddie said.

"No, just be ready in case I screw up," Kim said with a giggle.

Kim became nervous when she turned into the marina. She stayed in the middle of the canal and looked for the slip number on the pilings. Finally, she asked Eddie to take over.

"I think I need more practice before I'm ready to dock in these close quarters," Kim said.

"No problem, Kim, I'll take her in. You did great though. You just need more confidence in your abilities. We can get some practice while we're down here. If you can learn to dock in this marina, you'll be able to dock anywhere," Eddie said.

Jack, Tom, Brad, and Molly stood ready with the lines. When Eddie backed into the slip, they secured the boat. Eddie shut the engines off before coming down from the bridge.

"Let's check this place out and get some lunch," Eddie said. "I'm starving."

The group stepped onto the pier. When Jenny noticed Fran and Randy weren't coming, she said, "Come with us."

"We don't want to interfere," Randy said.

"You won't be interfering. You two need to stand on solid ground for a while. We're going fishing this afternoon," Jenny said.

Randy and Fran followed the teens. Jack spotted a restaurant near the marina and asked if it would be okay for lunch. Everyone said it would be fine. They sat on the outdoor patio and ordered lunch. Kim used her cell phone to call her parents and let them know they had arrived at the marina.

After lunch, the teens walked around the resort. They saw a local charter boat in the marina. They decided to see if they could get some information about the fishing in the area, and find out where to buy bait. Eddy and Jack went over to the boat while the rest of the group waited.

Jack and Eddie came back after about fifteen minutes. They gathered the group and told them what they learned.

"The captain said we can buy bait from him. He goes out every morning and catches ballyhoo and mackerel. He said the fishing has been pretty good off a shelf about two miles out. He also said the sailfish have been biting," Eddie said.

"That's cool. I wonder if he will tell the other teams about the fishing," Sally said.

"I'm sure he will if they buy bait from him. We told him we would buy all our bait from him before he shared any information," Jack said.

"I guess we should buy some and go fishing then," Sally said.

The group went back to the boat. Eddie went over to the man and told him they needed to fill their live well. When he saw the Lady Guinevere, he said he would bring the bait to them. Eddie told him to wait until he pulled out of the slip so they could transfer the baitfish to the stern live well.

Jack and Sally tended to the line. Eddie started the boat, pulled out and stopped in the canal. The man with the bait pulled up and tossed Brad a line. They bought enough bait for the next two days from the man.

"We can rig some of the ballyhoo while Eddie takes us out," Jenny said.

Randy and Fran went below to get their gear. They taped Jenny, Molly, and Kim as they rigged the eight to ten inch baitfish on large circle hooks. They wrapped copper wire around the long nettle beak to secure the fish to the hook. Once a fish was rigged, they coiled the leader and placed the bait in the refrigerator drawer in the tackle and bait station.

Eddie eased the boat out of the marina. He headed southeast to the continental shelf. Sally, Jack, and Brad began getting the rods out of the locker and placed them in the holders. Jenny attacked teasers to several of the rod. The team worked together, preparing to fish.

Eddie watched the fish finder. He located the shelf and turned to run along it. Tom stood with Eddie at the helm. The two of them talked about what they saw on the screen. Eddie slowed the boat to trolling speed and asked Tom to check on the others. Tom went out on the sundeck and looked down.

"How long before you're ready?" Tom said to the group in the cockpit.

"We're almost there, Tom. I'd say about five minutes," Kathy yelled up to him.

Tom watched Kim, Sally, Jenny, and Molly as the girls started sending the teasers out. Jenny lowered the outriggers and helped attach the lines. Once the lines were out, Kathy looked up at Tom.

"We're fishing, Tom," Kathy said.

Tom turned around and conveyed the information to Eddie. Eddie nodded and turned on the intercom to the cockpit.

"We should have someone on the tower to watch for fish," Eddie said into the microphone.

"Jack and I will go up," Jenny replied.

Jenny went up to the sundeck and then up the tower. Jack followed her. Randy and Fran tried to stay out of the way while capturing the events on tape.

"They work well together, don't they?" Fran said.

"Yeah they do. It's easy to see they have practiced this," Randy said.

The boat moved through the calm water. Jenny and Jack stood next to each other and watched for fish. Sally, Kathy, Molly, and Brad stood ready to offer a rising fish one of the baitfish that they rigged.

"Maybe we'll catch a dolphin. We can have it for dinner if we do," Kathy said.

"How do you tell the difference between the fish? Aren't you going to be trying to catch billfish for the tournament?" Fran said.

"During the tournament we won't offer a hook to anything except sailfish and marlin. You can tell the difference from the tower or the sundeck," Kathy said. "If we can catch a dolphin today it would be cool, but we won't try for them when we're competing."

The team had been trolling for a half hour when Jenny spotted a dark shadow in the water. She nudged Jack and then grabbed the microphone of the intercom. "We have a fish following the port teaser," Jenny said. "I can't tell what it is yet."

Brad grabbed a rod with a ballyhoo on it. He handed the rod to Sally and told her to be ready. Sally moved to the stern so she could send the bait out to the fish. Brad pulled the rod with the teaser out of the holder and got ready to reel it in.

"Send it back," Jenny said over the intercom.

Sally dropped the baitfish into the water. She free-spooled the reel while Brad brought in the teaser. When the fish hit, Sally locked the reel and waited. The fish hooked itself and began to run. Sally pulled back on the rod and waited for the fish to stop running.

Tom told Eddie which way the fish ran. Eddie turned the boat toward the fish. Molly, Kathy, and Brad cleared the lines. The reel screamed as the fish took line. Sally asked for a harness. Brad grabbed one of the harnesses and put it on Sally. She held the rod with one hand while clipping the harness to the reel with the other.

"Don't let it get away from you," Brad said. "Keep your eyes on the fish."

Fran let out a screech when the sailfish came up and danced on its tail. Randy did his best to capture it on tape. Sally settled in for the fight with the fish. Brad stayed with Sally and gave her encouragement. Forty minutes later, Brad reached over the gunwale and grabbed the sailfish by the bill.

Kim tagged the fish while Brad held it. He removed the hook and then moved the fish along side the boat to revive it. A moment later, the fish swam free.

"That was amazing," Fran said. "Randy, I hope you taped all of that."

"I got most of it. It was so exciting I stopped a few times," Randy said with a giggle.

Sally gave Brad a hug and thanked him for helping.

"Hey, keep you paws off my boyfriend," Jenny yelled down from the tower.

Sally giggled, looked up and yelled, "What if I don't want to?"

"Then I'm going to attack your boyfriend," Jenny yelled back.

The two girls laughed and made faces at each other. The rest of the group also laughed at them. Molly and Kathy began resetting the lines. Brad and Sally helped.

"Who gets the next fish?" Molly said once the teasers were out.

"I think we should let Fran catch one. That way she'll know what its like," Kathy said.

"Really? You guys would let me catch one?" Fran said.

"Sure, why wouldn't we? Like Kathy said, you should know what it feels like to fight one," Molly said.

The next fish came a few minutes later. Molly helped Fran while Randy captured her on tape. When the fish made its first run, Fran let out a squeal. Molly had prepared Fran by putting the harness on while they waited. She helped Fran clip the reel to the straps and adjusted the harness.

"We can't help during a tournament, but I can help you," Molly said.

"It looks like a dolphin," Jenny yelled down to the cockpit. "A nice one too."

Tom looked up at the tower. He yelled out and asked Jack to take the helm so Eddie could come outside. Jack chatted with Eddie on the intercom and took over steering the boat. Jenny turned on the displays so she and Jack would be able to see what was going on with the radar and the fish finder.

Eddie came out of the enclosed flying bridge and stood next to Tom. He glanced around and then said, "How are things going out here?"

"Great. Fran is fighting a dolphin. It came up and jumped a moment ago," Tom said.

The fight ended when Brad gaffed the fish and pulled it through the transom door. Randy kept his camcorder trained on the fish while Brad removed the hook. He lifted the fish and handed it to Fran. Brad held the head of the fish while Fran cradled the body in her arms.

"Oh my God, this is so heavy. How much does it weight?" Fran said.

"I would guess it is somewhere between fifty and seventy pounds, Fran," Brad said.

Once Randy finished taping, Brad put the fish in the hold. Kathy held the hatch open and then turned on the water to fill the hold. Molly hosed the deck to wash away the blood and slime.

"Thanks for letting me catch the fish. That was the first time I ever caught anything that big," Fran said as she giggled.

"Okay, Randy, you're next. Let's get the harness on you," Kathy said.

"I need to change my top," Fran said. "That fish made me messy."

"It's getting hot, I'm going to put on the top of my suit," Sally said.

"Would you grab mine too?" Molly said.

"I didn't think to bring a bathing suit. I didn't realize it would be this warm down here," Fran said.

"That's okay. We have a lot of suits. You can borrow one of them if you want to," Sally said.

Molly, Kathy, and Brad reset the lines while Sally took Fran below. They stood back to wait for another fish to start following the colorful teasers.

Sally and Fran returned with bikini tops on. Sally handed the tops she brought with her to Kathy and Molly.

"Turn off your camera," Molly said with a giggle. She turned her back to Randy and removed her top and bra. Kathy stood next to Molly and changed too.

"Nice top," Randy said to Fran.

"It's a lot smaller than any of my suits," Fran said with a grin. "It isn't too small, is it?"

"Hell no! I love it," Randy said.

Jenny spotted a fish and grabbed the microphone. She told the crew in the cockpit that the fish was following the port outrigger. Kathy grabbed the port teaser and began to reel it in. Sally helped Randy get the rod and send out the bait. Jenny shouted instructions over the intercom. When the fish took the bait, Jenny said, "He ate it!"

Sally coached Randy. She told him to wait until the fish hooked itself before pulling back on the rod. When Sally told him to, Randy began reeling. The fish took off and made a long run. Randy held the rod and watched the reel give up line.

Fran grabbed the camcorder and began taping Randy. She encouraged him while he fought the fish.

The fish made a jump and Sally said, "It's a sailfish."

Randy fought the fish to the port side of the boat. Brad reached over the gunwale and grabbed the leader. Carefully, Brad wrapped the leader around his hand as he pulled the fish close. Sally stuck a tag into the back of the sailfish while Fran recorded everything on tape. Brad cut the leader at the hook and the fish swam away.

"Are we going to keep fishing?" Sally asked Brad.

"I think we should. It's still early," Brad said.

Tom and Eddie came down to take a turn with the rods. Jack maneuvered the boat back to the course that had proven fruitful.

"You're getting good at running the boat while standing backwards," Jenny said.

"Thanks. It's like a girl dancing, you have to do everything backwards," Jack said with a chuckle.

"It's warm. Would you mind if I went down to get a different top?" Jenny said.

"No, I'll be fine up here," Jack told her.

Jenny giggled and said, "If we didn't have guests, I'd just go topless."

"I'll go toss them overboard," Jack said and then he laughed.

Jenny laughed, gave Jack a playful smack on the arm and said, "You're so bad."

Jack watched Jenny go down the ladder to the sundeck and then to the cockpit. She chatted with the others for a moment and went below. When she came up, she asked if Jack wanted something cold to drink. He said he would like a soda. Jenny put the microphone of the intercom on its hook and took two sodas from the cockpit refrigerator. She carried them up to the tower, handing them to Jack before finishing her climb.

The teens fished for another two hours. They hooked three more sailfish and one dolphin. Eddie said they should call it a day and head in.

"Can we go swimming?" Molly asked Eddie as she hugged his arm.

"Sure, we can stop before we go in the marina, Sweetie," Eddie said.

"We're heading in," Eddie yelled up to Jack and Jenny.

Jack turned around and set a course for the marina. He found the waypoint on the chart plotter and locked it in. After setting the autopilot, he sat back in the chair. Jenny sat next to Jack with her feet up.

The rest of the group took care of the rods and reels. They rinsed them with fresh water and put them in the holders to dry. Brad and Sally hung the lures to dry after washing them.

"I'm going to go up to the bridge and take over for Jack," Brad said. He started up the ladder and Sally followed him.

"Hey, Jack, I'll take her in," Brad said into the intercom. "We're going to stop and go swimming."

Jack waited for Brad to take control. He shut down the electronics on the tower and then he and Jenny went down to the bridge.

"Jack is getting good at steering while standing backwards," Jenny told Brad as she gave him a hug from behind. "He has to remember to look forward though."

"I thought you were the lookout," Jack said.

"I am, but I'm looking for fish, not for what's in front of us," Jenny said.

Brad chucked at the banter between Jack and Jenny. Sally giggled and told them to behave. Brad guided the boat into five feet of water and dropped the anchor. He shut down the engines and then all of them went to the cockpit.

The guys went below to change into suits. Eddie offered to lend one to Randy and he accepted. They changed and went back up. Jenny brought towels and placed them on the mezzanine seat. The group went out on the swim platform and dived into the warm clear water. They swam toward the front of the boat and stood in water four feet deep.

"This is great," Fran said. "It's a lot nicer than the beach we go to in New York."

"I can't believe how clear the water is. I can see the bottom," Randy said.

The group spent a half hour in the water. They swam, splashed, and goofed around. When Jack said he was getting out, the rest of the group decided to get out too. They climbed aboard and rinsed off with fresh water.

"Let's go up on the sundeck," Molly said. "I'll grab sodas for everyone."

"I'll help you, Honey," Kathy said and then she realized what she said. Fran smiled at Kathy and Molly. The girls giggled and went to get sodas.

"Nice ass," Kathy said as she rubbed Molly's bottom. Molly had bent over to get sodas from the refrigerator. She wiggled her hips and giggled.

Molly handed Kathy the sodas as she removed them. Kathy placed them in a basket so it would be easier to carry the cans up to the sundeck. Once they had enough for everyone, they paused to hug.

Kathy gave Molly a deep kiss. Molly moaned and began to rub Kathy's breasts.

"I'm so horny," Molly said. "I can't wait until we go to bed tonight."

"Oh really? What are you going to do?" Kathy said with a giggle.

Molly slid her hand into the bottom of Kathy's suit. She rubbed Kathy's sex and kissed her ear. "I'm going to eat you until you scream, that's what I'm going to do."

"Mmmm, that sounds nice. Maybe Eddie will fuck you while you eat me," Kathy said.

Molly giggled and said, "One can only hope."

The two girls went up to the sundeck. After handing out the sodas, they sat down. Randy and Fran told the group they had finished taping for the day. Randy said he had several hours of tape to review.

After an hour, Eddie went to the helm and started the engines. He pulled the anchor and headed to the marina. Once the boat was secure in the slip, Brad, Jack, and Tom washed it down.

"I'm leaving the watermaker on to refill the tank. They charge an arm and a leg for fresh water here," Eddie said.

"We need to clean the dolphin. I wonder where the cleaning station is," Brad said.

Jenny went down to the staterooms. She returned wearing a pair of shorts and said she would go find out where the cleaning station was. She came back a few moments later and told Brad there was a table at the end of the pier.

Brad, Eddie, Jack, took the fish to the cleaning station. Randy followed them to watch. Eddie filleted the large fish. Brad, Jack, and Tom placed the thick slabs of meat in plastic bags. They cleaned up the mess and returned to the boat.

Eddie and Tom put the meat in the freezer. They kept enough out for dinner that night. Jack, Randy, and Brad went to the sundeck to join the girls.

"They have a grill onshore," Jenny said. "We should grill the fish tonight."

"I'll take care of it," Eddie said. "Tom can help me. You guys make a salad and maybe some rice."

The teens prepared their meal. They sat in the galley and dined on the succulent fish and other things. After eating, Molly and Sally cleaned up.

"This has been a great day. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun on an assignment," Fran said.

The group had gathered in the saloon. They discussed the day's fishing. Then they talked about what they planned to do the next morning. Eddie felt they should hunt for fish in other areas. He told the group that there might be a lot of pressure on the area they fished that day.

"So, how long have you two been together?" Kathy asked Fran.

"Randy and I started dating in high school. We went to the same college too. Both of us wanted a career in the film industry. Randy and I planned to go to California, but when we got the opportunity to do nature films, we took it," Fran said.

"Do you think this will make it to television?" Brad asked.

"I don't really know if it will ever be aired. Pat seems to think the idea has merit and said he plans to push for it. I just hope we do a good job the next few days," Randy said.

"Tell us if we can help in any way," Eddie said.

"We will. I guess Fran and I should go check into our room. It's getting late and I know you guys will want to get started early," Randy said.

Fran and Randy went to the crew's quarters to get their luggage. They said goodnight and headed to the hotel attached to the marina. The teens watched them leave and then went into the cabin.

"Do you think we should have asked them to stay?" Kim said.

"I don't know. I was thinking that too, Baby. They already had a room reserved so I think they'll be okay," Tom said.

Kim gave Tom a hug. She stretched up and kissed him. "Let's go to bed. I have plans for you tonight," Kim said with a giggle.

The teens locked up the boat. They went down to the staterooms, said goodnight to each other and went into their rooms.

"What do you have planned for me tonight?" Tom asked Kim as he started to undress her.

"I plan to get laid, Baby. I plan to have your big cock in my pussy. How does that sound?"

"Sounds great to me. We fell asleep last night," Tom said and then he leaned over and kissed one of Kim's breasts.

"I know, but that doesn't bother me. I like snuggling with you almost as much as I like making love with you, Tom."

Kim and Tom finished undressing. They climbed into bed and began kissing each other. Kim stroked Tom's penis while he worked a finger into her vagina. They turned each other on and then Tom rolled Kim onto her back. He moved between her legs, leaning down to kiss her. Kim reached between them, grabbed his penis, and guided it into her. Tom moved slowly. He slid his penis deep into Kim's vagina. After kissing her tenderly, he said, "I love you."

"Mmmm, I love you too. I love feeling you inside me."

Tom started moving. Kim put her legs over Tom's and humped up to meet his thrusts. He fought the urge to climax so he could please Kim. They screwed for fifteen minutes and then came together.

Rolling off Kim, Tom sighed and said, "It just keeps getting better, Baby."

Kim put her head on Tom's chest. She kissed one of his nipples and then kissed her way down to his flaccid penis. Taking him in her mouth, Kim moaned around Tom's shaft. She lifted her head, looked up and smiled. "You bet it does. Every time we do it, it's better than the last time." Kim took his member back in her mouth to clean him. Tom clasped his hands behind his head and enjoyed what Kim did to him.

"Come up and sit on my face," Tom said when Kim released him.

Kim straddled Tom. She walked on her knees until her crotch hovered above his face. Tom gripped her hips, pulled her down, and began licking her. Kim fondled her breasts as he drilled his tongue into her vagina. It didn't take long for Kim to let out a groan. Her body quivered as she had another orgasm.

"That was wonderful, Baby," Kim said. She kissed Tom and snuggled against him. He wrapped her in his arms and they fell asleep.

Chapter 33


"Good morning, Honey," Sally cooed in Jack's ear.

Jack rolled over to face Sally. He put his arm over Sally and pulled her closer to him. "Morning," Jack said and then he kissed her.

Sally rose up and looked down at Jack. "Can I talk to you about something?" Sally said.

"Of course you can. What's up, Baby?"

"I saw Jenny flirting with you yesterday when you two were up on the tower."

"We were just goofing around. Nothing happened."

"I know. You can do what you want. I don't mind if you flirt with another girl. Jack, I know you love me."

"That's true, I do love you. What's this all about?"

"I was wondering if you would give me permission to flirt with Brad. I think he's cute and I like him. If you don't want me to, I won't."

Jack sat up. He ran his fingers through Sally's hair as he gazed down at her. She smiled up at him. It took a moment for what Sally asked him to sink in. She told him it was okay for him to flirt, but she wanted his permission to do the same thing. Jack moved his hand to Sally's neck and traced the gold collar. Gripping her arm, Jack sat Sally up next to him.

"Do you know who you belong to, Sally?" Jack asked.

"Yes, I belong to you. I will do whatever you want me to do. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you to let me flirt with the other boys." Sally dropped her head and looked down.

Jack felt his heart throbbing in his chest. He still had trouble accepting Sally's submissiveness to him. She could be so assertive when she was with the group, but completely dependant on Jack when they were alone. Even when they were with the others, Sally constantly checked with Jack to make sure he approved of what she was doing. She could tell by his facial expressions and his eyes whether he approved or not.

Like it or not, Jack had agreed to be dominate toward Sally. They talked about it for a long time before he gave her his conditions for the relationship. Sally readily agreed and gave herself to him. Now that he seemingly owned her, Jack had to keep up his end of the bargain. He knew Sally didn't need him to control her life, but it was what she wanted.

Jack lifted Sally's head by her chin. He looked into her eyes and saw the love she had for him. He was sure she could see the same thing in his eyes. Above all, Jack loved Sally.

"You have my permission to flirt with the other guys, Sweetie. Just remember who loves you. Remember who owns you."

Sally sprang against Jack. She wrapped her arms around him and began kissing his face.

"Thank you, Jack. I love you and I know I'm yours completely." Sally pressed her lips to his. Her tongue pushed into his mouth as she kissed him hard. After a moment, she removed her mouth and looked into Jack's eyes. "Um, can I flirt with the girls too?"

Jack laughed as he nodded his head. He pushed Sally onto her back and moved between her legs. Kneeling on the bed, he looked down at her.

"Make your pussy wet so I can fuck you," Jack said.

Sally smiled as she moved her hand between her legs. She stroked her vulva and teased her clit while grinning up at Jack. He moved his eyes from her eyes to her crotch. Jack watched Sally part her labia and slip a finger into her opening.

"I'm ready for you, Jack," Sally said. She giggled, knowing she was wet before she began touching herself.

Jack moved over Sally. She gripped his penis so she could guide it into her vagina. As he pushed into her, Sally moaned.

"Yes, that's it, Jack. Shove your cock in your pussy and fuck me," Sally said. "My pussy belongs to you."

Jack moved his hips, sliding his member in and out of Sally. She grabbed her legs behind her knees and pulled them back. He leaned forward and kissed her. The stateroom filled with the sounds of slapping flesh and lusty moans. Sally egged Jack on with whispers.

When Jack felt his orgasm build, he removed his penis from Sally. He scooted up her body and fisted himself with his penis pointed at Sally's face. She opened her mouth in anticipation of his semen. The first stream of semen hit Sally's forehead. Jack pushed his hips forward and placed the head of his member on Sally's extended tongue. He shot several spurts of come into her mouth.

Jack finished ejaculating into Sally's open mouth. She smiled and swallowed. He moved down, grabbed her legs and pushed them back until they touched her breasts. Jack lowered his head and licked Sally until she writhed with her climax.

"You have to talk to Jenny before you go too far with Brad," Jack said as he stretched out next to Sally. "I don't want to cause any problems."

Sally giggled and said, "Okay."

Jack watched Sally collect his semen from her face with her finger. She licked her finger clean, sucking it noisily. When her face was clean, but glazed, she got up. She giggled again as she headed for the door.

Sally went to Brad and Jenny's stateroom. She knocked on the door, opening it when Brad said, "Come in."

Standing in the stateroom stark naked, Sally said, "Where's Jen?"

Brad looked at Sally and smiled. "She's in the head. What's up?"

"Nothing, I just need to talk to her. See you later," Sally said. She left and went to the head.

Without knocking, Sally went into the head. Jenny stood in the shower with the water spraying over her. Sally opened the door to the shower stall and got in with Jenny.

"Hi, Jenny," Sally said with a giggle.

Jenny laughed and said, "I thought you were Brad. He's supposed to be in here with me."

Sally took the soap from Jenny and began washing her. She giggled as she moved her soapy hands over Jenny's body. Pausing to massage Jenny's breasts, Sally said, "I want to ask you if it's okay for me to flirt with Brad."

Jenny looked at Sally and broke out laughing. "You're playing with my boobs and asking me if you can flirt with my boyfriend. You are something else, girl."

Sally giggled and then said, "I know. I talked to Jack and he said I could if it was okay with you. I know you like flirting with Jack. I've watched you. Its okay you know. I don't mind if you and Jack fool around."

Jenny shook her head. She giggled and said, "You are the strangest girl I've ever met. I don't know anyone that would ask another girl if she could flirt with her boyfriend." Jenny stopped giggling for a moment. She hugged Sally and then kissed her cheek. "I wish I had your guts, Sally. You say what's on your mind no matter what it is. I admire that about you."

"Does that mean I can flirt with Brad?" Sally said.

"Yeah, you can flirt with Brad if you want to. Sally, I don't mean to piss you off when I flirt with Jack. It was all in fun," Jenny said. "I'm happy to know its okay with you. Just how far are you willing for this to go?"

"You can do anything you want with Jack. I think he wants to fuck you. I can tell by the way he looks at you," Sally said and then she giggled. "I think it would be cool to fuck Brad."

Jenny laughed again. "Damn, you don't beat around the bush, do you?"

Sally moved her hand between Jenny's legs and rubbed her. "I do when there's a bush."

Jenny and Sally finished washing each other. They couldn't stop giggling as they thought about the brief conversation. While they dried themselves, Jenny said, "I guess I need to talk to Brad, don't I?"

"Jack will probably talk to him, but I don't think it would hurt if he heard it from you. I don't know how Brad feels about me. This might not go anywhere you know, but it'll be fun," Sally said.

"Sally, I thought you belonged to Jack or something like that," Jenny said.

"I do belong to him. That's why I asked his permission before I came to talk to you."

"What did he say?"

Sally giggled and said, "He said I could and then he fucked me."

"You two have a weird relationship."

"Jenny, I think we have a perfect relationship. Jack loves me and I love him. We trust each other completely. If Jack would have said no, I wouldn't be here."

Jenny and Sally hugged before they went to their rooms. When Jenny went into her stateroom, she saw Brad stretched out on the bed. Giggling, Jenny crawled onto the bed. She wrapped her hand around Brad's penis and then leaned over to kiss it. Jenny took him in her mouth and began bobbing her head. After a few moments, Jenny removed her mouth, but continued stroking him with her hand.

"Sally came to the head to talk to me," Jenny said.

"She came in here first. I went to the head, but when I saw you two in the shower, I came back here," Brad said.

Jenny giggled and said, "Sally came to ask me if she could flirt with you."

Brad's body stiffened. Jenny felt it and she giggled again. "I know you two have been flirting a little, Brad. I'm not mad at you. I hope you're not mad at me for flirting with Jack."

"Um, no, not really, Honey."

"I told Sally I didn't mind if you two flirted with each other," Jenny said. "Sally told me she didn't care if I did the same with Jack."

"What else did Sally say?" Brad asked.

"She said she would like to fuck you, Baby." Jenny stroked his penis a little faster. She threw her leg over his hips and lowered herself onto his member. "Mmmm, I can't say I blame her."

Leaning forward, Jenny put her hands on Brad's shoulders. He reached up to massage her breasts. They found a comfortable rhythm with their bodies. Jenny rotated her hips as Brad humped up into her. Gazing into one another's eyes, they smiled.

"I love you, Baby," Jenny said and then she lowered her head to kiss him.

"I love you, Jenny, but I'm confused."

"We'll talk in a minute. Right now, I want you to make love to me," Jenny said.

Brad wrapped his arms around Jenny. She moaned as he increased the power and speed of his thrusting. Brad rolled Jenny onto her back and continued to move slowly. Jenny moaned as her legs flailed uncontrolled. The combination of Brad screwing her and the thought of Jack made her abnormally excited.

"Oh yes!" Jenny said as her climax consumed her. Her legs shot out and quivered and her stomach contracted. Brad came at the peak of Jenny's strong orgasm. He shoved his penis deep into her vagina and let out a groan. His butt cheeks clinched as his member spewed semen. Brad collapsed on Jenny and gasped for breath. She rubbed his back while feeling the final jerks her body made.

"Mmmm, that was so good, Baby," Jenny whispered in Brad's ear.

Brad rolled onto his side. He ran his hand over Jenny's sweaty body and breasts. "You're going to need another shower," Brad said.

"That's okay, we can take one together."

Brad and Jenny went to the head. They climbed in the shower and began washing each other.

"Do you want to talk about what I told you?" Jenny said.

"I don't know. It's so confusing to me. Do you want to fool around with Jack?"

"Jack's cute and I think it would be fun," Jenny said, trying to be as straight forward as Sally was earlier.

Brad looked into her eyes and said, "And you wouldn't be pissed if I fooled around with Sally?"

"No, I wouldn't get pissed off. If we hadn't talked about it, I might have, but as long as we're honest, we can deal with it. I love you. You know that I do. I also know you love me. No matter what happens between you and Sally, or Jack and me, at the end of the day, we'll still love each other," Jenny said.

"So what are we going to do?" Brad asked.

"I think we should just see what happens. Who knows, maybe none of us will do anything," Jenny said.

Brad hugged Jenny against him. He kissed her and said, "I'll always love you, Jen."

"I'll always love you too, Brad.

Brad and Jenny finished in the head. They went back to their stateroom to dress for the morning. When they went up to the galley, they saw Kathy, Eddie, and Molly sitting at the table.

"Morning, how's it going?" Jenny said as she poured coffee for her and Brad.

"Great," Molly said with a giggle.

"Hmmm, it looks like someone had a good night," Jenny said.

"Three someones had a good night," Kathy said. "Your brother is an animal."

"Yeah and I'll bet you loved it," Jenny said.

"I know I did. I loved both of them," Molly said with a grin.

Tom and Kim came up and said good morning to everyone. While Tom fixed coffee, Jack and Sally came up from below.

"What time are Fran and Randy supposed to be here?" Jack asked. He took the cup of coffee Sally offered him.

"They should be here in a few minutes. It's only six o'clock," Eddie said.

Jenny went up to the bridge to start the engines. She stared out the windows and thought about the events of the morning. Giggling, she decided that things were certainly going to be interesting in the future.

Brad went out to the cockpit to start preparing the rods for the day. Molly came out to help him. They made sure the rods and reel were ready to go before checking the bait.

"It looks like we only lost a few last night," Brad said as he scooped the dead ballyhoo out of the tank and tossed them over the side.

"Do we have enough for today?" Molly asked as she stood next to Brad and watched what he was doing.

"Yeah, we should be fine for another day or two."

"Brad, do you think we'll be able to take our parents out fishing this weekend?" Molly asked.

"I don't think so. They aren't going to get here until tomorrow afternoon. We start fishing the tournament on Saturday. If we stay an extra day we might be able to take them fishing," Brad said.

"That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure," Molly said.

"Ahoy there," Randy said as he and Fran walked down the pier toward the boat.

"Hi, guys. Ready for another day at sea?" Brad said.

"Yes we are. Fran and I talked about it most of the night," Randy said. He helped Fran into the cockpit and then climbed in.

"There's coffee in the galley," Molly said. "I don't know what we're having for breakfast."

The four of them went in the cabin. Boxes of cereal sat on the counter along with bowls and milk. Everyone fixed themselves a bowl of cereal and sat down.

"Jack and I are going to go up and check the charts," Brad said. He glanced at Jenny and winked.

Brad and Jack went up to the bridge. Brad unrolled a chart on the chart table and placed weights on the curled edges.

"I guess we need to talk, don't we?" Jack said.

Brad chuckled and nodded. "This is all new to me so I'm at a loss for words."

"It's new for me too. When Sally asked me if she could flirt with you, I didn't know what to do. I told her it was okay," Jack said.

"Jenny told me she wants to be able to fool around with you, Jack. I have to admit it was a bit of a shock at first. After thinking about it, I decided it could be worse. She could fool around with someone behind my back."

Brad pointed at the chart. "We fished here yesterday. Where do you think we should go today?"

Jack looked at the chart. He smiled knowing that even though they didn't say it outright, he and Brad had come to an agreement.

"It looks like there's another shelf over here. It's a long way out, but it may hold fish. Do you know where the Gulf Stream runs?" Jack asked.

"The Gulf Steam runs to the west of the islands. We were fishing in the Antilles Current yesterday. It runs here," Brad said while pointing at the chart.

"I have been reading about the billfish at this time of the year. The information I read said that they follow the warm currents because they contain baitfish. If that's true, we might do well over in the Gulf Stream," Jack said.

Eddie and Tom came up to the bridge. They discussed their options for the day. Finally, they decided to try the west side of the islands that morning. A few minutes later, the rest of the group came up. Jack and Eddie told them about the plans for the morning.

Tom and Brad went to the helm. Jack, Kathy, and Molly went down to tend to the lines. A few minutes later, they were underway. Tom took the helm and guided the boat out into open water. He kept an eye on the chart plotter as he weaved his way through the islands. Once he was past the islands, he brought the boat up to cruising speed. Eddie told Tom that he did a great job.

Jenny and Sally couldn't help giggling each time they looked at each other. They tried to control themselves, but found it hard. Jenny and Kathy worked the port side of the boat, getting the rods set up, while Sally and Kim worked the starboard side.

Molly rigged two rods with live bait so they'd be ready when needed.

"The girls seem to be able to rig the boat without help," Randy said to Brad while they stood on the sundeck and watched the activity in the cockpit.

"They can do anything we can do, Randy. As we said before, we want everyone to be able to do anything required. We're not into all that macho shit some guys are. When we're fishing, we're all equal," Brad said.

"Fran and I would like to interview you guys. We want to interview the girls and guys separately as well as together," Randy said. "Fran and I think we may have a winner. The reason is you guys, not just your fishing abilities."

"That sounds good, but just remember to keep our personal relationships out of it," Brad said.

"Brad, after what we saw yesterday, that won't be a problem. All of you perform as a team while fishing. It was imposable to tell there are relationships between any of you. Fran said it was amazing that none of you displayed any signs of jealousy," Randy said.

"That's because there isn't any jealousy between us. We all get along," Brad said.

"I don't know how you do it. I get all bent out of shape when another guy looks at Fran," Randy confessed.

"It comes from trust, Randy. We all care for each other and we trust our partners. We also talk honestly amongst ourselves. I can tell Jack I think Sally is hot and he can tell me the same thing about Jenny. The girls are even more casual about it," Brad said with an air of pride in his voice.

"You're all very lucky," Randy said.

"No we're not. Luck has nothing to do with it. It comes from communications and respect," Brad said.

Randy nodded even if he was unable to completely understand what Brad told him. He thought about the times his jealousy caused problems in his relationship with Fran. There were times that he became so infuriated because a man for looked at her he caused a ruckus. Several times, it turned into a fight. Fran would spend the next few days ignoring him or telling him he acted childlike.

Watching the teens caused Randy think about his behavior. He could see how the team got along. It was easy to see no one got upset when one of them teased another one. It didn't matter if it was a guy teasing a girl, or the other way around. Randy also wondered if he could change. After seeing how much fun the teens had, he decided to try.

Randy went to find Fran. She was in the cockpit, sitting on the mezzanine seat watching the girls preparing to fish. He stood near Fran and said, "Could you give me a hand with the equipment, Hon?"

Fran followed Randy down to the crew's quarters. He turned to her and said, "Fran, do you get upset when I look at other girls?"

"No I don't, Randy. I know you love me and you're just looking," Fran said. She didn't need to tell Randy about the way he responded when she looked at a man or a man looked at her.

"I'm an asshole, aren't I?" Randy said. "I get all worked up when I see a guy look at you and act like a child. I get mad at you if you look at another man. It's my insecurity, Fran."

"I know it is, Baby. I love you and know that you're JUST looking. I don't feel threatened when you look at other girls."

Randy nodded. "I was talking to Brad. Those kids have the best attitude I have ever seen. That goes for adults as well as teenagers. I want to be more like them. I want to feel good about someone looking at my beautiful girl instead of wanting to rip his head off."

"That would be nice, Hon. You can be a royal pain in the ass when your green monster rears its ugly head. You should know that you don't have to worry about me."

"I do know that, Fran. It's what makes me feel like such a jerk when I think about the things I've done in the past. You have never given me a reason to mistrust you," Randy said.

"Honey, you are the only man to make love to me and that's just fine. I don't have any desire to be with anyone else. Some of my girlfriends used to tease me because I didn't have any experience other than with you, but I shrugged it off. I won't jeopardize our relationship. We plan to be married. I don't want that to change."

"Neither would I. I guess looking isn't going to change the way we feel about each other, is it?" Randy said.

"Nope, it won't change a thing. You can look all you want, just keep your hands and this thing to yourself, or on me," Fran said as she gripped his genitals through his jeans.

"I'd rather put that in you than on you."

Fran giggled, gave him a squeeze, and said, "I wish we had time. I could go for another dose of your dick."

Randy and Fran laughed. They hugged, kissed, and then gathered their gear. When they came up, they got ready to tape the teens.

"Take a look at this," Tom said to Eddie. "What do you think that is?"

Eddie looked at the display of the fish finder. He could see a hump rising from the bottom. "I don't know. It might be a wreck," Eddie said. "There are a lot of sunken ships in these waters."

Eddie told Tom to come around so they could go over the object again. When they saw it on the screen, Eddie marked a waypoint on the chart plotter.

"I think we should troll around here to see if we can raise a fish. If that is a wreck, it will act as a reef and draw baitfish. I'll tell the others to get ready. You make a wide turn so we're set up when we go over it again," Eddie said.

Eddie went down to the cockpit. He told the others about what he and Tom found. Kim, Molly, Brad, and Eddie began getting the teaser rods ready. Jenny and Kathy lowered the outriggers.

"These hydraulic outriggers are so much better than the manual ones we used to use," Katy said as she held the switch to lower the rigger.

"No kidding, these are great. It gives us a lot more control too. We can adjust the outriggers for heavy seas," Jenny said.

Randy taped the team as they put out the teasers. He was still amazed that the teens could rig the boat as fast as they did. Fran moved around with her microphone to record what the teens said.

"I'm going to see if they'll wear wireless mikes, Randy. Could you set up the mixer and recorder for me if they will?" Fran said.

"Sure, Babe, let me know," Randy said. He winked at Fran and smiled.

Randy felt like he had made great strides. He found that talking to Fran had helped remove any of the pangs of jealousy he normally felt. The day before, he felt the grinding in his gut when one of the guys on the boat looked at Fran. Today, it didn't bother him—not as much as it had. He felt he could overcome it with rational thinking and a little work on his part.

"I would like to put mikes on you guys if you don't mind. We have a wireless mixer and recorder that we can set up," Fran said to Jenny. "That way we can record everything and then edit it later. It will also let me run a second camera."

"They won't get in the way, will they?" Jenny said.

"No, you'll wear a small transmitter on your waistband and have a microphone clipped to your top. The mikes are very small," Fran said.

"I guess we can try them. If they're a problem, we can take them off," Jenny said.

"Can we set up the mixer up on the bridge?" Fran said.

"Sure, do whatever you need to do," Jenny said.

Randy went below to get the case with the mixer and wireless microphones. He took the mixer up to the bridge and asked Eddie where he could set it up. Eddie told Randy he could put the mixer on the desk. Once Randy set up, he went out to tell Fran. She brought Jenny and Molly up to the bridge with her.

"This clips on your waistband," Fran said as she showed the girls the small black transmitters. "We can run the wire under your top and clip the microphone to the collar of your top."

"Hook me up," Jenny said with a giggle. "Are these the same as the ones we see on television?"

"Yes, they're the same thing," Fran said.

Jenny clipped one of the transmitters to her pants. She reached under her top and brought the microphone out the neck opening. Fran helped her clip the microphone to Jenny's top.

"Say something, Jenny," Randy said. He adjusted the level while Jenny talked.

"That's great. Okay, now it's Molly's turn," Randy said.

Fran helped Molly put the unit on her waistband. Molly lifted her top so Fran could route the wire. She giggled and said, "That tickles," when Fran moved the thin wire across her chest.

Molly and Jenny went back to the cockpit. Kathy and Sally went up to have the microphones attached. While they waited for the two girls, Fran put microphones on Tom and Eddie. A few minutes later, everyone wore the compact wireless microphones.

"I'm ready to make the first run over whatever we saw in the fish finder," Tom said. "Are we ready to fish?"

Randy sat at the desk to make sure all the microphones worked. "I'm sorry, we didn't mean to hold you guys up," Randy said. He checked the levels of the mikes.

"You didn't hold us up. We realize you have a job to do too," Tom said.

Eddie used the intercom to tell let the others know they were ready to fish. Jack and Jenny went up to the tower while Molly, Brad, Sally, and Kim put out the teasers. When Jack took over the helm, Tom and Eddie went down to the cockpit.

Coming up behind Kathy, Eddie gave her a hug. "Are we ready, Baby?" Eddie said.

"I'm always ready, but we have to fish right now, Stud," Kathy replied with a giggle.

"Don't forget you're wearing a microphone and that we're being recorded," Eddie reminded Kathy.

"Oops, I better watch what I say then," Kathy said and then she giggled again.

Fran heard the exchange and laughter. "Don't worry, we'll edit out anything that shouldn't be heard," Fran said.

"Is this as uncomfortable for you as it is for me?" Jack asked Jenny as they stood watching behind the boat.

"I don't know. It's weird but not really uncomfortable. Your girlfriend is one strange chick though," Jenny said.

"How so?" Jack said.

Jenny giggled and said, "Well, let me see. I was in the shower this morning and Sally got in with me. She started playing with my boobs and then asked me if I minded if she fooled around with my boyfriend. Doesn't that sound weird to you?"

Jack laughed and shook his head. "Not coming from Sally. She doesn't have a problem saying what's on her mind or asking for what she wants."

"She has balls; that's for sure," Jenny said. "You have to admire her for that."

"I love her for it, Jenny. I never have to wonder where I stand when it comes to Sally." Jack chuckled and said, "She tells me where I stand."

"Who's dominate and who's submissive?" Jenny asked with a grin.

"That's a question I ask myself quite often. Sally will do whatever I tell her to do, but sometimes I wonder who is really in charge," Jack said.

"From what she told me, you are in charge," Jenny said.

"Yeah, that's what she tells me too."

"I guess we have to decide what we want. I mean you and me," Jenny said. "I haven't really had much time to think about it yet," Jenny said. She put her hand on Jack's arm. "That's not true. I have thought about it, just not since Sally came in the shower with me this morning."

"I think the four of us needs to sit down together, Jen. There has to be a clear understanding between us before anything happens we all regret. Having you and Brad as my friends is way more important than a little flirting," Jack said.

"Agreed. Now I know why Sally loves you as she does. You are smart and practical," Jenny said with a giggle.

Jack nodded and said, "Yeah, Sally keeps me practical."

"I have to ask you something. If you love Sally as much as you do, why would you agree to something like this? I love Brad, but we're not in the same kind of relationship you and Sally seem to have."

"Jenny, I can agree to it because I love Sally. We're young and learning. I know she likes girls. I also know she loves sex. I would rather have her with someone I know than a stranger that might hurt her," Jack said solemnly. "Does that make sense to you?"

Jenny looked into Jack's eyes. She smiled and said, "Sally is one lucky girl. That makes perfect sense to me. THAT is a true expression of love."

"We better pay attention to what we're doing. We might miss a fish if we don't," Jack said.

Jenny nodded. She grabbed the railing and focused on the teasers. Jack stood with his back to the helm and made sure the boat was on course. Glancing down, he watched Sally. She was talking to Molly and using her hands to accent whatever she was saying. He smiled, realizing how fortunate he really was to have her.

"Look, there's a fish following the starboard teaser," Jenny said as she pointed. She leaned over and shouted down to the others.

Brad grabbed one of the rods with a baitfish on it. He fed the bait back while Kathy reeled in the teaser. Jenny watched the fish and then yelled, "He ate it!" down to Brad.

When it realized it was hooked, the fish made a long run. Brad pulled back on the rod and watched the line strip off the reel. When the fish made a jump, Eddie said, "Brad, you better get in the chair."

Molly and Sally grabbed the teaser rods to clear them. Kathy and Eddie lifted the outriggers. Brad sat in the fighting chair and clipped the straps to the reel. Once he adjusted the straps, Brad began fighting the fish.

"Practicing with the bucket paid off," Brad said to Eddie. "I didn't have any trouble getting into the chair."

"That's cool. I think you have a fight on your hands. That is one big fish," Eddie said.

Randy and Fran trained their camcorders on the action. The fight lasted an hour before Brad tired the fish. Jack maneuvered the boat to help Brad gain line during the battle. When the fish came to the surface at the stern, Eddie said, "Holly shit! It's a blue marlin. I'll bet it will go over three hundred pounds."

The team gathered along the transom so they could see the fish. Eddie held the leader in an attempt to hold the marlin. Randy leaned over the gunwale to get a better shot. Sally grabbed the tagging stick and inserted a plastic tag into the fish. Eddie opened the transom door so he could get a good grip on the fish's bill. He wrenched the hook out of the fish's mouth and held its head under water to revive it.

"That is the largest fish we've caught to date," Eddie said as he rested against the gunwale.

"I hope we can find fish like that during the tournament," Kim said.

"Finding marlin would be great, but I would rather catch smaller ones. It takes too long to fight one that size," Brad said.

Once they rested, the teens reset the lines. They worked as a team, each one completing their task without having to talk. With the lines reset, they stood back to relax.

"It would be nice to bring one of those onboard," Randy said. "I would love to tape it."

"We don't like taking them out of the water. The chance they'll survive is much better if they stay in the water. Tom Gordon once told me that pulling a fish out after a fight was like sticking a person's head underwater after they ran a marathon," Eddie said.

The teens fished for another three hours. They managed to raise several fish. They hooked and tagged three more marlin, although none of them as large as the first one. At noon, they decided to take a break and have lunch.

Jack and Jenny stayed on the tower while Jack headed for shallow water. He found a place that looked promising and dropped the anchor. After shutting down the boat, he and Jenny climbed down to the cockpit.

"It gets hot when the boat isn't moving," Fran said.

"That's why we like to take a swim. It cools us down," Kathy said.

The teens removed the microphones. Randy placed them in the chargers so they would be ready the next time they needed them. Jenny and Sally went to the galley to make lunch. They used the leftover dolphin to make a large salad.

"Jack said we should all sit down and talk," Jenny said to Sally.

"Okay, that sounds like a good idea," Sally replied. "Is there a problem?"

"No, I don't think so. Jack and I talked earlier and decided we needed to talk before there is a problem, Sally."

Sally giggled and nodded her head. The girls finished preparing the salad and placed it on the counter. They placed a stack of plates next to the salad and then told the other's lunch was ready.

After they ate, Tom and Eddie cleaned up. They put the dishes in the dishwasher and put the remaining salad in the refrigerator. Once the table and counter were clean, they went outside. The rest of the group sat on the sundeck. Tom and Eddie went up to join them.

"I'm going to get some sun," Sally said. She got up and headed down to the staterooms.

Kim, Molly, Jenny, and Kathy also went to put on their suits. Fran asked if she could borrow a suit again and Jenny said she could.

When the girls returned, they went out on the foredeck. Sally spread out a towel and sat down. She removed her top and stretched out on her back. Fran watched as the other girls did the same thing.

"Do you guys always sun topless?" Fran said.

"No, we're usually naked," Sally said with a giggle.

"What about the guys?" Fran said.

"They're always topless," Kim said with a giggle.

"I mean don't you mind?" Fran asked.

Molly giggled and said, "No, we like it when they're topless."

Fran laughed. She realized the girls were teasing her. Finally, Kathy said, "We are not very modest when we're on the boat, or at home for that matter. You get used to being naked."

"I don't think Randy would like it if I went topless," Fran said.

"Have you asked him?" Sally said.

Fran shook her head. Sally giggled and got up. "I'll go ask him for you."

Sally walked aft on the deck. She went up to the sundeck and said, "Randy, do you mind if Fran sunbaths in the nude? She doesn't know if you'll get mad or not."

Randy sat staring at Sally's exposed breasts. The other guys chuckled as he tried to respond to Sally's question. After stuttering for a moment, Randy finally composed himself.

"Um, I guess not," Randy mumbled.

Sally giggled and headed back to the foredeck. As she walked away, Randy noticed the thong bikini Sally wore.

Jack, Tom, Eddie, and Tom laughed. Tom said, "You'll get used to her if you spend any time with us. Sally prefers to be naked."

"She's your sister!" Randy said.

"Yeah, but she is also a sexy chick. Don't be concerned. She likes being seen as much as we like seeing her," Tom said.

"It doesn't bother you to have your girlfriends running around naked?" Randy said while trying to get over what he'd seen.

"Are you kidding? We love seeing them naked. It's hard not to stare sometimes, but we try," Eddie said.

Randy got up and went into the bridge. He gazed out the windows at the girls. All of them, including Fran, were topless. They sat on the deck talking as if it was as normal as could be.

"That is something I never thought I'd see. Fran is always so conservative," Randy said.

"If you think about it, she is probably trying to fit in. How do you think she'd feel if she had to be different than the others?" Jack said.

Randy shrugged his shoulders. "She wouldn't like it I guess."

The boys sat and talked for a little while. They heard giggling and splashing as the girls jumped off the swim platform into the clear water. Looking down, the guys could see the girls were completely naked.

"Holly shit! They're naked," Randy said.

"Yeah, they sure are. I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel like taking a swim," Eddie said.

"Of course you do. You have two naked girls in the water," Brad said.

The guys got up and headed down to the cockpit. Randy shifted nervously as the other guys stripped. He watched them jump into the water and head toward the girls. Fran turned to look at Randy. She smiled and waved for him to join her. While the others frolicked, Fran stood away from them.

Randy took a deep breath. He removed his clothing and jumped in the water. Randy swam over to Fran's open arms. She hugged him and wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Oh my God, I never knew skinny dipping was so much fun! I love it," Fran said.

"Um, yeah, I guess so," Randy mumbled.

"What's the matter? Is your ugly green monster coming out?" Fran said.

"I'm trying, Babe, I really am."

"I had a blast talking with the girls. They are so much fun. Did you know they go skinny dipping with their parents? Kim, Sally, Tom, and Jack have been to a resort where no one wore clothes," Fran said with a giggle. "All of them except Molly have been to a nude beach."

Fran felt Randy's penis hardening against her butt. She giggled and said, "Hmmm, it looks like part of you likes this." Fran wiggled against his erection. "I think I like it too."

Sliding down his body, Fran went underwater. She grabbed Randy's penis and took it in her mouth. She swirled her tongue around the glans until she could no longer hold her breath.

"You haven't done that for a long time," Randy said.

"I know—kind of stupid of me, isn't it?" Fran replied.

"I thought you didn't like doing that."

"It isn't my favorite thing to do, but we have to make compromises. I want to skinny dip and you want your cock sucked. See what I mean?"

"Wait a minute, are you telling me you'll give me a blowjob if you can swim naked?" Randy said.

"If that's what it takes, Baby," Fran replied and then she giggled.

Randy was about to agree to her terms, but stopped before he said anything. He thought about the things he'd learned from the other guys and then he smiled.

"You look great naked. I hope you're enjoying yourself," Randy said.

Fran looked at him and raised her eyebrows. "Does that mean you don't mind if we skinny dip?"

Randy smiled and nodded.

"Does it mean I have to..."

"You don't have to do anything you don't want to do, Honey. Come on, we look out of place over here. Let's join the others," Randy said.

"You're not going to get all pissed off if the boys look at me?"

"Why wouldn't they look at you? You are a gorgeous girl after all."

Fran gave Randy a kiss before they swam to the bow to be with the teens. When they arrived, Randy and Fran joined in with the splashing that was going on. They laughed, splashed, and even dunked each other. By the time they took a break, Randy forgot he was naked.

The group climbed out of the water. They rinsed each other off and went up to the sundeck. Randy seemed a little nervous. He wasn't accustomed to being naked in front of other people. Fran, on the other hand, seemed completely at ease. She talked with the other girls and laughed at the jokes.

Brad offered to get sodas. Jenny went with him to help. When they returned, they passed out the chilled cans.

"Are we going to fish anymore today?" Molly asked. "If not, I think I'll grab a short nap."

"What's the matter, Sweetie, did we keep you up too late last night?" Kathy said and then she grinned.

"Yeah, but you won't hear me complaining," Molly said with a giggle.

"A nap sounds like a great idea," Tom said. He looked at Kim and winked. She grinned and nodded her head.

"Okay, but we go fishing in an hour," Eddie said. "I'll set an alarm."

The group headed to the staterooms. Fran and Randy went to the crew's quarters. When they were inside, Fran hugged Randy.

"Thank you for being so understanding, Hon. I'm having a great time," Fran said.

"It wasn't bad after I got used to it, Fran. Did you notice that the guys didn't stare?"

"Yes, I noticed. The girls told me they are used to seeing naked girls. They don't stare or make rude comments to them," Fran said.

Fran reached between their naked bodies. Randy moaned when she wrapped her hand around his penis and slowly stroked him. Fran kissed Randy tenderly and then dropped to her knees. Looking up, she took his member in her mouth.

"You don't have to do this," Randy said.

Fran moaned and nodded her head while keeping Randy's penis in her mouth. She slowly moved her head, feeling his rigid member sliding over her lips and tongue. Fran kept her hand wrapped around his shaft at the base. She used her other hand to cradle his testicles. Randy put his hands on her head, but didn't try to guide her.

As she sucked and licked Randy's penis, Fran tried to remember why she didn't like oral sex. Randy went down on her anytime she wanted him to, but she always refused to return the favor. The feeling of his penis in her mouth excited Fran. She let out a soft moan while bobbing her head.

Fran thought back to her youth. When they were in high school, and experimenting with sex, Randy talked Fran into giving him a blowjob. In his excitement, he shoved his penis too deep. He came just as his glans triggered Fran's gag reflex. In the end, she threw up all over him. She tried to do it again a few weeks later, but the memory of the first time prevented her from doing it.

Now, Fran eagerly sucked him. Gone were the thoughts of the first escapade. The only thing Fran could think of was pleasing the man she loved so dearly. It wasn't just the fact that he didn't protest when she stripped off her clothes in front of strangers. There was more driving her. Fran felt that if Randy was willing to try to change, she should too.

Randy's hips began to move. Fran knew he was getting close to ejaculating and that she needed to make a decision. She could remove her mouth, or complete what she began. The choice evaporated when Randy's penis swelled and exploded in Fran's mouth. She winced, but didn't pull away. Except for the consistency, his semen was like the seawater she tasted earlier. The look on Randy's face told Fran she made the right decision.

Fran gently sucked on Randy as his penis stopped throbbing in her mouth. She rolled her tongue around his glans, moaning because she knew she pleased him. Randy ran his fingers through her hair and gazed down in disbelieve.

"That was fabulous, Hon," Randy said. His voice cracked as he spoke.

Fran removed his softening penis from her mouth. Looking up, she swallowed Randy's semen. She licked her lips, kissed the head of his member, and stood up. Randy pulled her into his arms. Without thinking, he kissed her. He could taste himself on her lips, but he didn't care. She fulfilled a dream.

"You want to know something?" Fran asked with a grin.

"What?" Randy said.

"Your stuff is kind of yummy." Fran giggled and snuggled against Randy's chest.

"Why did you do it? I told you it wasn't necessary," Randy said.

"Because if you're willing to change, I should be willing to change too," Fran said.

"This isn't going to sound right, but is this a one time thing?" Randy asked.

"That's a fair question, Randy. After all the years I have refused to do that, you must be skeptical. I only have one condition. I won't do that for a big ugly green monster," Fran said with a giggle.

Randy laughed. He gave Fran a hug and led her to the bed. Placing her on her back, Randy climbed between Fran's legs. He looked up and said, "Time for me to return the favor, Honey."

Fran opened her legs and moaned when Randy's tongue made contact. She reached down so she could run her hands through his hair. Although Randy went down on her many times, Fran knew this time would be different, that it would be better than it had been in the past.

-------

Sally and Jack lay next to each other on their bed. She rested her head on his chest and cooed as he stroked her head.

"Jenny and I talked while we were on the tower today," Jack said.

"About what?" Sally replied. She was glad Jack couldn't see her grinning.

"I think you know. We decided we weren't going any further until all of us had a chance to talk. Even if we all agree, we need to make sure we all understand what's happening."

"Okay. When are we going to talk?" Sally said.

"I don't know. We didn't talk about when, just that we have to," Jack replied.

Sally rolled off Jack. She stood up and took his hand. Jack knew what she planned. He chuckled and slipped out of bed. Together, they went to Brad and Jenny's room. Sally rapped on the door and then opened it before anyone could answer.

Brad and Jenny looked up and began to laugh. When Jack asked what was so funny, Jenny said, "We were getting ready to come see you two."

Jack and Sally sat on the bed with Brad and Jenny. They glanced at one another waiting for someone to talk first.

"Jack said he and Jenny talked about what's going on. They decided that we should all talk before someone gets the wrong idea," Sally said. "So, what do we have to talk about?"

"That's my Sally, straight to the point," Jack said. "I don't really know where to start, but I think we need to make sure we all agree on the rules—if there are any."

Sally giggled. She reached out and fondled Brad's penis. "Is this okay?" Sally said.

Jenny giggled and wrapped her hand around Jack's member. "Only if this is."

"Does that mean its okay to do this?" Brad asked as he rubbed one of Sally's breasts.

Sally giggled and said, "Mmmm, I think that should be required." She leaned over and kissed the tip of Brad's hardening penis. "I guess this is okay too."

Jenny grinned. She leaned over and took Jack's penis in her mouth. After running her tongue around the glans, she sat up and giggled. "Oh yeah, that's okay."

Jack moved his hand between Jenny's legs. He stroked her for a moment and then inserted a finger in her vagina. Jenny gasped and rolled her eyes. Before Jack could say anything, Brad began fingering Sally.

Sally put her hand behind Brad's head. She pulled his face to hers and kissed him. Brad responded by pushing his tongue into Sally's mouth. Jack and Jenny looked at each other. They shrugged their shoulders and began kissing too. The two couples fell onto the bed and began grouping each other.

Jenny flipped around so she could get Jack's penis in her mouth. Jack pulled her crotch to his mouth and pushed his tongue into her.

Sally saw what Jack and Jenny were doing. She giggled and said, "Let's do that too."

Brad rolled on his back. Sally shook her head and said she wanted to be on the bottom. She stretched out with her head near Jack's and waited for Brad to get on top of her. Sally grabbed Brad's member. She pulled on him until he entered her mouth. Sally moaned when Brad licked the length of her vulva. She grabbed his butt and pulled him down until his penis hit the opening of her throat. Brad started moving his hips. He slid his penis in and out of Sally's mouth while drilling his tongue into her vagina.

When Jenny pulled her mouth off Jack's member, he removed his head from between her legs. She flipped around, kissed Jack and said, "We can do that some other time, I want you to fuck me."

Jack moved between Jenny's legs. He grabbed his penis and pushed into her hot wet vagina. As he sank into her depths, Jenny exhaled. Jack started to move. Jenny hooked her legs over his and hunched up to meet him.

"Oh look, they're fucking. I want that too," Sally said after pushing Brad up.

Sally scrambled onto her back with her head near Jack and Jenny's. She watched Brad crawl between her legs and insert himself in her opening. When Brad fell into a steady rhythm, Sally turned her head toward Jack and Jenny.

Jenny glanced at Sally. Sally giggled and said, "This is fun, isn't it?"

Jenny started laughing, causing Jack to stop moving. "Is she always like this when she fucks?" Jenny said.

"No, not always," Jack replied.

"Sally, stop talking and fuck Brad," Jack said.

Sally giggled and said, "Okay, Honey. Whatever you say."

Jack started to move again. Jenny tried to get into it, but kept laughing at Sally. Sally maintained a silly grin. Finally, Brad stopped and looked down at Sally.

"This isn't going the way it should," Brad said.

"Why not? We're just four friends having a little fun," Sally said. "Fucking doesn't have to be serious every time you do it."

The four of them began laughing. Sally, in her innocent way, put everything in perspective. It was just sex and sex should be fun.

Jack pulled out of Jenny. He sat up and looked down at Sally. She smiled and then winked. Shaking his head, Jack said, "Sally, take Brad to our room and leave Jenny and me alone for a few minutes."

Giggling, Sally said, "Okay." Sally kissed Jack. "See you two in a few minutes."

"It might take longer that a few minutes," Jenny said.

"Then come to our room when you finish. Brad and I will be waiting for you," Sally said.

"What if you two aren't finished?" Jenny said.

"Don't worry, we will be." Sally giggled and got off the bed. She grabbed Brad's arm and tugged on it. "Come on, you have work to do."

Jack and Jenny laughed as Sally pulled Brad out of the stateroom. Jenny climbed on Jack and said, "Now, where were we?"

Jenny gripped Jack's semi hard penis. She stroked it and rubbed it against her vulva. When he was hard enough, Jenny sat down on him. Jack reached up to fondle Jenny's breasts. She gripped his shoulders and began to bounce up and down.

"Slow down, we don't have to hurry," Jack said.

"Oh yes we do. I want to show her I can get you off just as fast as she can get Brad off," Jenny said. "If you want to fuck slower that's fine. We'll do it next time."

Jenny used her vaginal muscles to grip Jack's penis. She rocked her hips, moving faster than she ever had in the past. Jenny didn't care about her climax. She wanted to beat Sally. After a few minutes, Jack shot into her. She pushed down and squeezed Jack with her inner muscles. When Jack finished, she jumped up.

"Come on, let's go catch them," Jenny said and then she laughed.

Jack got up and followed her to the other stateroom. When Jack and Jenny walked in they saw Sally grinning.

"Told you," Sally said.

"Yeah, how do we know Brad came?" Jenny said.

"How do we know Jack did?" Sally shot back.

Giggling, Jenny jumped on the bed. She turned around and lowered her vagina to Sally's mouth. Sally giggled and began sucking Jack's semen out of Jenny. Moaning, Jenny dropped her head between Sally's legs. The two girls lapped at each other for a few moments.

Jenny lifted her head and grinned. "It looks like they beat us this time, Jack."

Sally giggled into Jenny's crotch. Jenny rolled off Sally and onto her back. Jack and Brad laughed at the two girls.

"Come here, Jack. Your cock is all messy from fucking this little floozy," Sally said as she used her thumb to point at Jenny.

Jack moved closer. He got on the bed and straddled Sally's body. Jack inched up and Sally sucked his penis into her mouth. Brad glanced at Jenny. She grinned and then nodded. Brad sat on her chest and offered his member to her mouth.

Sally and Jenny cleaned Jack and Brad's penises. When the two of them were hard again, they slid down and began screwing their girlfriends. Sally looked at Jenny and winked at her.

Jack and Brad lasted much longer than they had before. Both Jenny and Sally reached several orgasms before Jack and Brad climaxed. Sated, the two coupled drifted asleep.

A little while later, Jack woke to the sounds of giggling. Sally and Jenny lay between Jack and Brad facing each other. Rolling on his side, Jack put his arm around Sally.

"What are you two giggling about?" Jack said.

"Yeah, how do you expect a guy to get any sleep with two naked girls acting up in bed with him?" Brad said.

"Sally and I were talking," Jenny said.

"Well can't you whisper?" Brad said.

"Not really. Sally is so funny I can't help laughing," Jenny said.

"I just told her I had fun flirting with you, Brad. Jenny wanted to know what sex would be like if that was flirting," Sally said.

Everyone laughed at what Sally said. Jack put a hand on one of Sally's breasts and jiggled it. She reached behind her and did the same to his penis.

"We might as well get up and get dressed. I don't think we're going to get any sleep," Brad said.

Jenny kissed Brad and jumped over him. Sally saw Jenny wave at her and got out of bed too. The two girls went into the head and jumped in the shower together. Jack and Brad sat on the edge of the bed looking at each other.

"Um, do you think we opened a can of worms here?" Brad said.

"No, I don't think so. I think what happened today was Sally and Jenny's way of telling us they love us," Jack said.

"Sally is a nut!" Brad said. "She made me come faster than I did the first time Kathy and I fucked."

"Jenny has a talented pussy too, Brad. To tell you the truth, I can't tell you the last time I had that much fun having sex," Jack said.

"So, where do we go from here?" Brad said.

"I don't plan on going anywhere. We'll just have some fun and love our girls. I think they proved we can do that," Jack said. "I have a feeling things are going to be fun in the future."

"Do you think we can handle any more fun?"

"I don't know, but it's going to be great trying. Maybe we should use another head. The girls may be in there for awhile," Jack said.

"We can use the one by our room, but I'm not going to shower with you," Brad said and then he laughed.

Jack laughed and said, "Spoil sport!"

Brad took a quick shower. When Brad finished, Jack took a shower too. Jack went back to his room to get dressed. Sally and Jenny came out of the head and giggled. Jenny kissed Sally and then she kissed Jack.

"I'm going to get dressed. See you two up in the saloon," Jenny said. She wiggled her butt as she left the stateroom.

"Still love me?" Sally asked as she hugged Jack.

Jack sat on the bed, pulling Sally down with him. He put her across his legs and smacked her bottom several times. Sally squirmed on his legs as his hand turned her butt red.

When Jack stopped spanking her, Sally sat up. She rolled to one side and rubbed her bottom. "Why did you spank me?"

"Because you beat Jenny and me today," Jack said while fighting the urge to laugh.

Sally threw her arms around Jack's neck. She kissed him and said, "You really do love me, don't you."

"I love you more that I can explain, Sally," Jack said.

Jack and Sally got dressed. They went up to the saloon to see who else was up. Sally went out to the cockpit to collect hers and Jack's clothing. On the way back to her stateroom, she saw Kim coming out of her room.

"Did you get a nap?" Sally said to Kim.

Kim giggled and said, "Not a very long one. Tom was horny."

"Men, they're always horny, aren't they?" Sally said.

"I think so," Kim said with a giggle.

Brad and Jenny came out into the passageway. Sally and Jenny shared a smile and then they giggled. Brad shook his head and went up to the saloon.

"What is he so happy about?" Kim said.

"He got laid, that's why," Jenny said.

"That makes boys happy, that's for sure," Kim said.

Sally nodded. She went to her room to get rid of the dirty clothing. When she returned, she saw Kim and Jenny laughing. Sally thought Jenny told Kim about what happened. Jenny caught Sally's eye and shook her head. The three girls decide to wake Eddie, Molly, and Kathy before they went up to the saloon.

Jenny knocked on her brother's door. She opened it and looked inside. Eddie stood dressed and told Jenny that Molly and Kathy were taking a shower.

"How long have they been in there?" Jenny asked.

"Too long," Eddie said. "I'm thinking of going in after them."

Kathy and Molly came out of the head. They saw Jenny and said, "Hi."

"We'll be up in the saloon. Let's go fishing," Jenny said.

The engines started. Jenny noticed Jack was missing so she went up to the bridge. Moving behind Jack, Jenny gave him a hug.

"That worked out better than I could have imagined, Jack. I had a blast!" Jenny said.

"So did I. Sally has a way of putting things in perspective, doesn't she?" Jack said.

"Yes she does. I was worried that fooling around would be a mistake. Now I see it isn't, in fact, I can't wait until we can get together again." Jenny moved one of her hands to Jack's crotch. "I can't wait to play with this again."

"Unhand my boyfriend's cock you little vamp," Sally said as she and Brad came into the bridge.

"Sorry, my hand's stuck," Jenny said with a giggle. She looked back and saw that Sally's hand was inside Brad's shorts.

Sally giggled and said, "He made me do it!"

The four of them were laughing when Eddie came up the stairs. He saw what his sister and Sally were doing and stopped in his tracks.

"Um, did you two girls lose something?" Eddie said.

"No, I know exactly where what I want is," Jenny said.

"Do you mind if I ask what's going on here?" Eddie said.

"I'm playing with Brad's cock and Jenny is playing with Jack's. Why, what does it look like?" Sally said.

"That's what it looks like. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't seeing things," Eddie said with a chuckle.

Eddie moved to the helm. Jenny removed her hand from Jack's penis and giggled. Sally gave Brad a squeeze and removed her hand.

"Eddie, we know what we're doing. The four of us decided to fool around together," Jenny said.

"That's cool, Jen. You guys can do whatever you want to do. Are we ready to go fishing?" Eddie said.

"Yeah, we're ready," Jack said. "I'm ready to pull the anchor and get underway. Should we head back to where we were this morning?"

"That's what I would suggest. We might be able to mark a few more waypoints. It's good to know where the fish are in the afternoon too," Eddie said.

Jack raised the anchor. He checked the chart plotter and headed toward the area they fished earlier in the day. Eddie took his sister by the arm and said, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

Jenny followed Eddie out to the sundeck. She sat down and waited for her brother to say what was on his mind.

"Do you still love Brad?" Eddie asked.

"Yes, I love him, Eddie," Jenny said.

"Are you and Jack going to get together?"

Jenny shook her head and said, "Not permanently. Look, we're just having fun. Is that alright with you?"

"Hey, don't get pissy with me. I just want to make sure everything is okay with my little sister, that's all. I love you and don't want to see you hurt," Eddie said.

Jenny jumped up and hugged Eddie. She rested her head on his shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you. I thought you were upset because Jack and I fooled around."

"Hell no! Look, I'm the guy with two girlfriends. Who am I to judge you? Like I said, I just don't want to see you get hurt,"

"Thanks for being concerned, Eddie. I don't think that's going to be a problem, not with Sally around. She's a nut! We had a race to see which one of us could make the other's boyfriend come first. It was the fastest fuck I think I've ever had."

Eddie laughed and said, "Who won?"

"Sally won. I don't know what she did, but when Jack and I finished we went into her room. She and Brad were lying on the bed with big grins."

"How do you know that Brad came?" Eddie asked with a chuckle.

"Um, let's say I inspected her. You know, l let my tongue do the walking," Jenny said.

"I think you're as big a nut as Sally is," Eddie said.

Jenny and Eddie went into the bridge. When Sally saw Jenny she said, "Is everything okay?"

Jenny giggled and said, "Yup, everything is fine. My big brother was just checking up on me."

Tom and Kim came up to the bridge. A few moments later, the rest of the group joined them. When Fran and Randy came up, Kim asked if they needed to put on the microphones again.

"Not this afternoon. I think we have enough for one day," Fran said.

"I can never get enough," Jenny said with a giggle.

"She wasn't talking about sex, you hussy," Sally said.

"Look who's talking, you minx," Jenny shot back.

"It takes one to know one," Sally said and then she laughed.

Jack took the boat out to where they fished during the morning. Kathy, Molly, Eddie, Jenny and Kim went down to the cockpit to set the lines. Jack asked Tom to take the helm so he could go up on the tuna tower. Tom nodded and took the wheel.

Sally came up to the tower with Jack. She put her arm around his waist and hugged him to her side.

"Honey, can I ask you a question?" Sally said.

"What now?" Jack said with a chuckle.

"Would you mind if I flirted with Eddie?"

Chapter 34


"You're kidding, aren't you?" Jack asked Sally.

"Yeah, well, kind of. I was hoping you'd spank me again if I asked you," Sally said.

Jack chuckled and said, "Maybe you can get Brad to paddle your cute ass."

"NO." Sally said sharply. "There is only one person that can spank me and that's you. You own me and you're the only one I would trust."

"I'm sorry, Baby, I was just joking," Jack said.

"Please don't joke about that. It means too much to me," Sally said.

"Okay, I won't. Now, what's this about flirting with Eddie?" Jack said with a smile.

Sally giggled and gave Jack a hug. She stretched up and kissed him square on the mouth.

"Can I stay up here with you?" Sally asked.

"Sure."

Jack yelled down to tell the others he was near the area they fished earlier. Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Molly began deploying the teasers. Tom took care of the outriggers. Once the spread was out, the teens stood waiting.

Sally saw a fish come up. She squealed and then yelled down to the cockpit. Brad sent a bait out while Eddie retrieved the teaser. When the fish took the bait, the fight was on. Brad fought the fish to the back of the boat. Kathy tagged the small sailfish and then Jenny released it.

Over the next two hours, they managed to hook and tag two additional fish. Fran caught the last one while Randy taped her.

"Let's head in," Eddie said into the intercom.

Jack made a slow turn toward the marina. He took the boat up on plane after the team cleared the lines. Eddie took over at the lower helm so Jack and Sally could come down from the tower.

Jenny filled out the log. She noted each fish they tagged along with the location and other pertinent information. Fran stood in the cockpit and babbled about catching the fish. Randy listened to his girlfriend's excitement.

Jack, Brad, and Tom secured the boat. They began washing it down while the others stowed the gear. When the work was finished, they went to the resort for dinner. Randy insisted on paying for dinner. He told the teen he and Fran were on an expense account and it wasn't coming out of their pockets.

"If Pat found out we didn't buy at least one meal, he'd shoot us," Fran said.

The group ate in the restaurant. They all talked about the day, but didn't let on to where they caught the fish. No one knew if there was another fishing team in the dinning room.

"Hey, guys, how's it going?" Jeff Lamar said as he and his brother, Eric walked up to the table.

"Great, Jeff. When did you get here?" Jenny said. "This is Jeff and Eric Lamar. They have a boat called Hasty. Jeff, Eric, this is our team. You know Eddie, Brad, and Kathy. That is Jack, Sally, Tom, Kim, and Molly. Everyone except Molly is from Michigan. Those two are Randy and Fran. They're from ESPN."

Jeff and Eric made their way around the table and shook hands with everyone.

"I saw a new boat on the marina. It has the same name as your boat," Eric said.

"The Lady Guinevere is our boat, Eric, our new boat," Eddie said.

"That is a great looking boat. Maybe you will show it to us later," Jeff said.

"We'd love to. Let us finish our dinner and we'll take you over to her," Eddie said.

Jeff and Eric left the table and returned to their team. Sally looked at Jenny and said, "I take it you know them."

"Yeah, they are competitors. We manage to beat them most of the time. They're nice guys though," Jenny said.

After dinner, the team along with Randy and Fran headed for the boat. Jenny stopped at Jeff's table to tell him he and his team could come see the boat. Jeff thanked her and told her they would be there in a few minutes.

The group sat on the sundeck to enjoy the evening. Eddie saw Jeff and his team coming toward the boat so he went down to greet them. Jeff, Eric, Marcus, and Buzz came aboard. Eddie showed them around the cockpit and then took them into the cabin. After touring the saloon, galley, and staterooms, Eddie led them up to the bridge.

Jeff asked questions about the boat's performance. Eddie answered him with an air of pride. After inspecting the helm, the group went out onto the sundeck.

"This is a beautiful boat, guys. How does she fish?" Jeff said.

"So far so good. We haven't been in any real rough seas, but she has handled everything we've come up against," Jenny said.

"What brings a bunch of Yankees down to Florida?" Jeff asked with a chuckle.

"We're moving down to Florida as soon as we get out of school. Too much snow in Michigan," Kim said.

Jeff laughed and nodded. "I've been north in the summer. We fished off the coast of Massachusetts for stripers. Wasn't bad in the summer, but I don't think I would like it in the winter."

"We fish for salmon in Michigan," Kim said.

"I've read about that. I hear the kings in Lake Michigan are awesome," Eric said.

"They're fun, but not as much fun as billfish," Sally said.

"Do all of you fish?" Buzz asked.

"Yup, we're a team," Eddie said.

"You guys are lucky to have girls that like fishing. Most of the girls I know won't have anything to do with it," Marcus said. "I mean that sincerely."

"We love fishing and you guys know it," Jenny said. "If you remember, we manage to beat your butts often enough."

Jeff laughed and said, "Don't remind us, Jenny. I used to think it was luck, but I know better. You guys are as good as anyone out there."

"Thanks, we'll take that as a complement, Jeff," Jenny said.

"Good, it was meant to be one. We'll, we have to get going. We want to get out in the morning and take a look around. You guys wouldn't mind sharing any information, would you?" Jeff said.

"Sorry, but all we've found is a few small drum," Eddie said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, and you expect us to believe you," Eric said.

"Have a good night. We'll see you at the meeting tomorrow night," Jeff said.

After Jeff and his crew left, Jenny giggled and said, "Those guys used to treat us like we were dirt. Now they respect us."

"Fran and I are going to get going. We have enough tape until the captain's meeting tomorrow night. We'll see you there," Randy said.

"Why don't you come out with us tomorrow? You guys can fish and have some fun," Brad said.

The teens all told Fran and Randy to join them in the morning. After a few minutes, Randy and Fran agreed. They told the teens they would meet them at six in the morning and then left.

"This was a day to remember, wasn't it, Hon?" Randy said as he walked toward the resort with Fran.

"Yes, but I'll remember it for a different reason," Fran said.

"Why will you remember it?"

"Because you were willing to let go of your silly jealousy. I had a great time with the girls today. I really appreciate you not getting all upset about me going topless or skinny dipping."

"Hon, I had as much fun as you did. Once I got over the shock of you being naked, I really enjoyed it. Hell, I forgot I was naked after a little while," Randy said.

Fran giggled and said, "I didn't forget you were naked."

When they reached their room, Fran and Randy slowly undressed each other. They climbed into bed and made love.

On the boat, the teens sat in the saloon. They reviewed the day's fishing and their plans for the morning. Eddie asked Jenny to get the log so they could go over the different programs they ran. Jenny retrieved the logbook. She opened it to that day's page and began reading. Jenny told the group about each fish. She read off the species as well as the teasers that were out, and which teaser caused the fish to rise.

"It sounds like the pink and green worked the best. They raised four of the five fish," Jack said.

"How much bait do we have left?" Tom asked.

"There seems to be plenty, but we should get fresh bait tomorrow. We need to get fuel and a pump out too," Eddie said.

"How about the rods and reels? Should we do anything with them?" Molly said.

"We'll strip off a few hundred feet of line after we get back tomorrow afternoon. That way we'll have fresh line on Saturday. We only have to do it to the pitch rods, the ones we'll use to hook the fish," Brad said.

"Kim and I can rig more baitfish tomorrow," Kathy said. "We should have twenty or twenty-five ready to go for the tournament."

The group talked about the things they needed, and wanted, to do for another half hour. While they talked, Jenny, Brad, Sally, and Jack shared smiles and winks.

"What the hell is going on with you guys? The four of you have been acting weird since we took our naps," Kim said.

Jenny glanced at Brad and then at Jack and Sally. She smiled and said, "Um, Jack, Sally, Brad, and I sort of fooled around together today. I guess you guys would find out sooner or later so I decided to just tell you."

"Just what do you mean by 'fooled around, ' Jenny," Kathy said with a giggle. Eddie told her about the tryst earlier.

Jenny cocked her head and laughed. "Do I really have to spell it out for you?"

"Will someone please tell me what you guys are talking about?" Molly said.

"Brad and Sally shacked up. So did Jack and Jenny," Eddie said. Every laughed for a moment.

"Really?" Molly said.

"We got carried away when we were talking," Sally said. "The next thing we knew, we were fooling around with someone new. It was fun."

"Let me guess. Sally instigated it," Tom said.

"That is a pretty save assumption, Honey," Kim said.

"Who me?" Sally said as she screwed her finger into her cheek, and then she laughed.

Once the laughter died down, Jack said, "We didn't do anything we didn't want to do. Sally asked me if she could flirt with Brad and I said she could."

Kim giggled and said, "Yeah, and we all know how Sally likes to flirt."

"It's no secret that I love sex!" Sally said.

"Well, it isn't a secret now," Eddie said.

"So, who are you going to sleep with tonight, Sally?" Kathy asked.

"Jack! I don't mind fooling around, but when I go to bed, it will be with him. Unless he tells me different," Sally said.

Jack put his arm around Sally's shoulders. He pulled her to his side and kissed the top of her head. Sally grinned and then planted a kiss on Jack's mouth. Breaking the kiss, Sally sat on Jack's lap. She hugged him around the neck while resting against his chest.

"Awa, aren't they cute." Kathy said.

Molly moved to sit on Kathy's lap. Molly kissed Kathy and said, "Not as cute as you."

"I think it's time to go to bed," Eddie said. "If we don't an orgy might break out."

"What's wrong with that?" Kim said with a giggle.

"Nothing, but we have to get up early to go fishing," Eddie said. He winked at Kim and then smiled.

The teens went below and into their staterooms. Kim stripped off her clothes and climbed into bed. Tom undressed and joined her.

"What do you think about what Sally, Jack, Jenny, and Brad did?" Tom asked Kim as he ran his hand over her naked breasts.

"It doesn't surprise me, Honey. I've watched Sally flirting with Brad. I've seen Jenny flirt with Jack too."

"Like you were flirting with Eddie?" Tom said.

Kim shrugged her shoulders.

"Its okay, Honey. I know you love me," Tom said.

Kim rolled on top of Tom. She kissed him for several minutes, flicking her tongue against his. Reaching down his body, Kim started fondling Tom's penis.

"I do love you, Baby. Don't get mad at me if I flirt a little." Kim gave his cock as squeeze. "I won't get mad when you flirt with Molly."

Tom chuckled. "Okay," he said.

Kim scooted lower. She licked his member and then took him in her mouth. Bobbing her head, Kim moaned around Tom's hot shaft. Kim removed her mouth and looked up at Tom. She stroked him and smiled.

"Would you like it if Molly or Kathy was doing this?" Kim said.

"How about if both of them sucked my cock?" Tom replied.

Kim giggled. "Can I watch?" She leaned over, sucking him back into her mouth.

"Only if I get to watch you and Eddie," Tom said and then he yelped. Kim clamped him gently with her teeth. "Hey, you bit me!"

Kim sat up and giggled. She straddled his hips and lowered herself onto Tom's penis. Leaning forward, she kissed Tom. "Are we role playing, or would you really like to fool around with one of the other girls?" Kim said.

Tom put his hands on Kim's breasts. He rubbed his thumbs over her nipples and looked into her eyes. "I love you, Kim."

"I know, and I love you. That's not what I asked." Kim rotated her hips as she slowly moved up and down on Tom's member.

"We're doing both. Would you fool around with Eddie or Brad?"

"Why didn't you include Jack?"

"I already know the answer to that, Honey."

Kim giggled. "I don't know, Baby. I think about it sometimes, but not because I don't want to be with you. It makes me horny when we're all running around naked. You satisfy me more than anyone could, but I do have fantasies. Don't you?"

"Sure, I'm a normal horny guy," Tom said with a chuckle.

"You're not going to be horny for long, Lover! I'm going to fuck your brains out. You can think of anyone you want to, but it's my pussy your cock is in."

Kim leaned forward. She held Tom's head and began moving faster. Each time he was completely in her, she ground her hips. Tom grabbed Kim's hips. He started pushing up, meeting her as she came down. They kissed each other while their bodies collided at their crotches.

"Damn, Tom, you're making me come!" Kim said.

Tom drove his penis up into Kim. He tilted his head and captured one of her nipples between his teeth. Kim grabbed his hair and pulled his face against her. Her climax exploded in her overheated body. Kim slammed down as her vagina convulsed around Tom's member. He gripped her butt, sucked her nipple, and shot several strong spurts of semen into her clutching vagina.

Kim collapsed on Tom's chest. He rubbed her damp back and kissed her ear. She let out a moan and then said, "That was so nice." Kim lifted her head and looked into Tom's eyes. "Who were you fucking?"

Tom kissed Kim's lips and said, "I was making love to you, Baby."

Kim giggled. She kissed Tom and said, "Right answer, Stud."

Kim slid down Tom's body. He realized what she planned to do and said, "Turn around so we can do each other, Sweetheart."

Tom pulled Kim's vulva to his mouth as she licked the length of his penis. He moaned into her when she sucked the entire length of his semi soft member into her mouth. Kim and Tom cleaned one another's sex with their mouths and tongues. Finally, Kim turned around to snuggle with Tom.

They cuddled together, falling asleep in each other's arms.

The morning proved to be busy. All of the teen stayed up late fooling around and ended up sleeping in. Jack woke up, saw the time, and sprang out of bed. He shook Sally's arm and called her name.

"Wake up, Sweetie, we over slept," Jack said.

"Mmmm, five more minutes," Sally said as she rolled onto her side and hugged her pillow.

"Sally, it's already six forty five. We should have been up over an hour ago." Jack pulled the covers back and gave her a playful smack on her butt.

"Okay, okay, I'm awake."

Sally rolled out of bed. She gave Jack a hug and then kissed him. "I wish you'd wake me up like that more often, morning breath."

Jack chuckled and said, "I wouldn't have morning breath if I hadn't eaten your pussy last night."

"I'm not complaining, Baby. About either one," Sally said and then she kissed him again.

"Randy and Fran are going to wonder where we are. They were going to be here at six thirty," Jack said.

Sally fondled Jack's penis and giggled. "Go take care of this thing. I know you always have to pee in the morning. I'll wake the others and see if Fran and Randy are here yet. When I get back, we can jump in the shower—okay?"

"Sounds good, Sally. See you in a few minutes."

Jack went to the head. Sally went to the staterooms and woke the others. Once everyone was stirring, she ran up to the saloon. Sally went to the door to the cockpit and opened it. Randy and Fran stood in the cockpit drinking coffee from paper cups.

"Come in. We all over slept," Sally said. "I'm sorry to leave you guys out there."

Randy couldn't help staring at Sally's naked body. Fran giggled and said, "Did you forget something?"

Sally giggled and said, "I was in a hurry. Make yourselves at home. The coffee and coffee maker are one of the cabinets. If you don't mind, you can start a pot."

"Okay, Sally," Fran said.

Sally bounded across the saloon and down the stairs. She went to the head and joined Jack in the shower. A few minutes later, the teens began heading up to the galley.

"Sorry about being late," Jenny said to Randy and Fran. "I guess we stayed up too late last night."

"That's okay; a very naked Sally let us in. Randy has been grinning ever since," Fran said with a chuckle.

"Sometimes it's hard to keep her dressed," Jenny said.

"It's hard to keep who dressed?" Sally said as she walked into the galley.

"You!" Jenny said.

Sally giggled and shrugged her shoulders. She went to the counter to pour a cup of coffee for Jack. When Jack came up the steps, Sally handed him the cup.

"Thanks, Sweetie," Jack said.

"Did you see that, Fran? Sally gets Jack's coffee," Randy said.

"Yeah, and she runs around naked too," Jenny said as she bumped her hip against Sally's.

"Like you don't!" Sally said.

"I didn't say I didn't like running around naked," Jenny said.

Everyone was laughing when Molly, Kathy, and Eddie came up.

"What's everyone laughing about?" Molly said.

"Being naked," Sally said. "I ran up here to let our guests in and now Jenny is teasing me."

"She didn't get dressed first," Jenny said.

"I was getting ready for my shower. I don't take a shower with my clothes on," Sally said. She giggled and stuck out her tongue at Jenny.

Tom and Kim came up and greeted everyone. Tom said he would start the engines to warm them. He went up to the bridge and began firing up the diesels. Kim poured coffee for her and Tom. She took Tom's up to him and watched as he turned on the electronics.

"You can start the generators, Kim," Tom said.

Kim stared at the helm for a moment. She found the switch for the generators and started them. Kim watched the gauges to make sure the oil pressure came up and the RPMs were correct.

"I had fun last night," Kim said with a giggle. "You had me so cranked up I thought I was going to bust."

"You did pretty good yourself, Sweetie. We haven't gone that wild in a while," Tom said.

"What do you think about Jack, Sally, Jenny, and Brad getting together?"

"I think it's cool if that's what they want to do. Why?"

"I don't know, I was just wondering what you thought about it," Kim said as she put her arms around Tom's neck. Kim stretched up and kissed him. "I really like our group. We all get along great and that makes this so much fun."

"Are you trying to tell me something?" Tom said and then he chuckled.

"Not really, at least nothing we haven't talked about before," Kim said. "Would you hook up with one of the other girls if you could?"

"Maybe, would you?" Tom replied.

"What? Hook up with one of the other girls?" Kim said and then she grinned.

"Whatever, girl or boy," Tom said.

"Yeah, I guess so. I mean, it might be fun. Don't you think it would be?"

"What would be fun?" Sally asked as she came up to the bridge. "How long before we're ready to go? Eddie wants to eat while we're underway so we can make up for some of the time we lost."

"Kim and I were talking about hooking up with some of the others, Sally," Tom said. "We were saying it might be fun."

Sally giggled and said, "It was for me. Are we ready to go yet?"

Tom looked at the gauges. "Yeah, we can leave now. Tell Eddie we're ready."

Sally headed down to the galley and told Eddie what Tom said. Eddie, Jack, and Brad went up to the bridge.

"We have two areas that have produced fish. I think we should try to find one or two more. We can head south this morning and try to mark a few new waypoints," Eddie said.

"That sounds like a good plan. Don't forget, we have to be back early today. Our parents are flying in and we have the captain's meeting tonight," Jack said.

"Do you know what time our parents are supposed to arrive? I forgot to ask when I talked to my dad last night," Brad said.

"My dad said they planned to get away before lunch. The flight is only about forty-five minutes. I guess they will be here by one or so," Kim said. "We can call Dad later and see what he wants us to do this afternoon."

"Kim, would you please go down and have someone help you cast off?" Eddie said.

Kim nodded and headed down the stairs. She recruited Jenny and Kathy to help her with the lines. Once the boat was free, Jenny used the intercom to tell her brother.

Eddie pulled the boat out of the slip. He stopped near the man selling bait so they could refill their live well. They removed the dead baitfish and added new bait to the tank.

"We're ready to go. I'll stop for fuel and a pump-out when we come in later," Eddie said.

Brad took the helm. He took the boat out of the marina and headed for the area they decided to try that morning. Eddie went down to the cockpit to help the girls get the rods ready.

-------

Don shook Marge's shoulder as he said, "Wake up, Baby, time to get ready."

Marge rolled toward Don, looked up, and smiled. "Good morning, Honey. What time is it?"

"It's a little after seven."

"Okay, I'm awake. I'll go make coffee and come back to take my shower," Marge said. She sat up, scratched her breasts and then stretched her arms over her head.

Marge climbed out of bed, put on a short robe and headed to the kitchen. Laura sat at the counter drinking coffee. The kitchen smelled like fresh cinnamon and apple.

"Morning, Marge, sleep well?" Laura said.

"I slept like a log. How about you, did you get some rest?" Marge replied while filling a mug with hot coffee.

"Once Joel stopped attacking me I did." Laura chuckled and smiled. "Not that I'm complaining mind you. I have apple-cinnamon muffins in the oven. I thought you guys might enjoy them this morning."

"We always enjoy your treats, Laura."

Laura smiled. She loved baking, especially when there were friends to enjoy her efforts. Marge looked outside. The sun was rising, painting the yard with an orange glow.

"I think I'm going to take a swim before breakfast," Marge said. "The pool looks so inviting this morning."

Laura nodded. "Mind if I join you?"

"Hell no, let's go," Marge said with a chuckle.

The two women went outside. They removed their robes and jumped into the pool. They swam from one end of the pool to the other several times and then stopped to rest. Anne stepped out on the patio and waved. She walked to the pool and joined Laura and Marge in the warm water.

Before long, Ellen, Sarah, and the men had jumped in the pool. They swam and then relaxed in the water.

A few minutes later, Jeri and April asked if they could join the group.

"Don, Tomiko will be ready for delivery while Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally are up north. Should we wait until they get back before bringing her here?" Jeri said.

"I don't know, Jeri. I think the kids would like to be there when the boat is delivered." Don called for Harry. Harry came over and asked what was up. "Jeri and I are discussing the delivery of Tomiko. She thinks the boat will be ready before the kids get back down here. I would prefer to have them there when the boat is delivered."

"I have room for her at the yard. Just leave Tomiko in her slip until they come back," Harry said. "It'll only be a few weeks, won't it?"

Don laughed and said, "It they had their way, the kids wouldn't go back to Michigan. Moving down here is about all they talk about, that and the boats. Oh, and fishing."

"We still have a few finishing touches that need to be completed. I planned to do some of them here, but April and I can do them at the yard just as easily. I know Jack, Kim, Tom, and Sally would want to be on their yacht's maiden voyage," Jeri said.

The group left the pool. They took showers and then went in to make breakfast. Jeri, April, Don, and Harry continued their conversation in the house. April helped prepare breakfast for the group. Laura removed the muffins from the oven. She placed them hot pads to cool.

All of the adults spent the night at the house. The night before, they ate dinner and then partied on the patio. Don invited Jeri and April to join the group and party with them. No one went overboard with the drinking. The group spent the evening talking about their kids and the trip to the Bahamas.

"Have you started interviewing crew members yet, April?" Anne asked.

"Yes, off and on. We have several good candidates for the positions. Most of them have worked on other yachts," April said. "Jeri and I have been talking to some people we know that are familiar with the applicants. We want to find out as much as we can before hiring anyone."

"Have you decided on the size of the crew yet?" Anne asked.

"Not yet. We know we'll need at least three crewmembers in addition to Jeri, Yoshi, and me. We may hire four. It will depend on how talented the deckhands are. Two very good hands could handle the job, but it may take three," Jeri said.

"We have one man in mind that has engineering experience. April and I hadn't planned to have a fulltime engineer, but we are rethinking that. It might be a good idea to have someone that can handle the mechanics. If we can make the right deal with this guy, we would be in good shape," Jeri said.

"Are you keeping the kids in the loop on this?" Marc said.

"Yes, April and I talked with them about the crew. They told us to do what we felt was best for the yacht and the business." Jeri smiled. "Those kids, as you call them, are very smart. They have been a dream to work with."

Don, Marge, Marc, and Anne smiled. They felt proud of their children and the way they behaved. Having their children become arrogant was a fear the parents shared, but their fear seemed unfounded.

"Have you thought about what you're going to do, Laura?" April asked.

Laura glanced at Joel. "Not really. Not yet at least. When I get back from the trip, I plan to start looking for work."

"What kind of work are you going to look for?" Anne asked.

"I don't really know. I would like to find something along the lines of what I was doing. I enjoyed taking care of Mrs. Caldwell. It was very rewarding for me," Laura said and then she chuckled. "Mrs. Caldwell loved it when I baked for her. My walnut raisin cookies were her favorite."

"Why don't you look for something in a bakery?" Marge asked.

"I don't know if I would want to bake full time. I used to think it would be great to have my own bakery, but then I remember how much work it is. Getting to work at three in the morning and being there until late in the evening isn't as appealing as it once was. Taking care of someone and their house sounds more inviting at this point in my life," Laura said.

"I told her I would take care of her and Molly, but she's bullheaded! Laura feels she has to work for some reason," Joel said.

"There's nothing wrong with wanting to work. Marc and I find things to do just to stay busy. We spent years working in the shop and I don't think I could just sit idle," Don said.

"I have to agree with Don. At first, the idea of being retired sounded good, but I started to go stir-crazy. Now we're involved in several projects. It's nice being able to do what you want to do for a change," Marc said.

"Isn't that the truth," Jack Waters said. "After working in the boatyard, I don't think I could ever go back to doing kitchens and bathrooms."

"Life is always better when you're doing something you truly enjoy. Harry has told me I could quit working if I wanted to, but I don't. I love working in the lingerie shop. The owner is good to work for and I feel that I'm contributing," Ellen said.

"It helps having children that are as good as ours are. I listen to the women at the office talking about the trouble their kids get into and realize how fortunate Jack and I are," Sarah said.

"Isn't that the truth? It's much better to know they are on the boat than getting into trouble," Marge said.

"They can still get into trouble you know. I have represented kids on drug charges that came from good families," Joel said.

"We all know that the kids can get into trouble if they don't use their heads, Joel. None of us has our heads in the sand. Ellen's and my kids behave because they know that they'll lose their privileges if they don't. Eddie and Jenny love fishing too much to jeopardize it by getting into trouble," Harry said.

"I agree with Harry. I don't think Brad or Kathy would do anything that would prevent them from fishing and being on the boat. They have choices, but so far they haven't made any bad ones," Jack Waters said.

"Our kids are the same way. There was a time when Kim and Sally made a bad choice. They started dating a couple boys that were troublemakers. The school they went to suspended Jack and Tom for defending their sisters. They fought on the school's property," Marge said.

"I thought you only practiced corporate law, Joel. I didn't know you also did criminal work," Marc said.

"I don't anymore. I used to when I passed the bar, but I didn't like it. Having to defend guilty people sucks! I met Jerry Stone, and went to work for him in his Florida office. I've been with his firm for eight years now," Joel said. "I plan to make partner someday."

"What time are our flights?" Anne said.

"We have to be at the airport at ten. It's going to take two flights to get all of us down to there. The plane will hold nine," Don said.

"You and Marc should go down on the first flight, Don. That way you can get us registered," Anne said.

Don looked around the table. "Are you and April going down with us, Jeri?" Don said.

"Thanks, but we have plans for the weekend. April and I are interviewing a few people. They are off on Saturday," Jeri said. "Thanks for asking though. It would be fun."

Nodding, Don said, "Next time. Okay, why don't we do this? The men will take the first flight. We'll check in and take care of the luggage. The rest of you will be there about an hour and a half later."

"I think you just want a chance to check out the scantly dressed women down there, Don," Anne said to her brother.

"Fine, you women can go first. You can check in and handle the luggage," Don said.

"I'm just teasing you," Anne said with a grin.

"You just don't want to haul the luggage," Don said.

The group finished their meal. They carried their dishes to the kitchen, placing them on the counter. Jeri and April offered to take care of the cleanup that morning, telling the others to go get ready to leave.

"Will you be okay on the plane?" Joel asked Laura after they got back to the room they shared the night before.

"Yes, I think so. The other girls will be with me, Hon," Laura said. She gave Joel a hug. "Thanks for the concern though."

"Have you noticed anything that seems strange to you?" Joel asked.

"I don't know, like what?" Laura replied.

Joel gave Laura a kiss and then released her. He sat on the bed. "Last night when we were in the pool, I noticed Marge getting very—um, friendly, with Harry," Joel said. "After watching for a little while, I noticed all of them were doing a lot of touching, even if it wasn't with their spouse."

"They're good friends, Honey," Laura said.

"If you ask me, they're much more than good friends. I think they're swingers," Joel said.

"They may be. So what if they are?"

"It doesn't bother you?" Joel asked as he furrowed his brow.

"No, if that's what they want to do, why should I care? Why should you?" Laura said. She removed her tee shirt and shorts so she could get ready to go.

"I just find it a little strange, that's all," Joel said as he stood up to begin dressing too.

"Honey, I don't find anything strange anymore. I used to think that the worse thing that could happen to Molly was for her to become sexually active. Now she has a boyfriend and a girlfriend. Not only that; they're a threesome. I have learned to accept things no matter how peculiar they seem," Laura said. She thought about what she had just said and smiled.

Laura knelt in front of Joel. She pulled his boxers down, took his penis in her hand, and began stroking it. Leaning forward, Laura took Joel's member into her mouth. She bobbed her head slowly, feeling his glans gliding across her tongue and the roof of her mouth. Laura moaned, loving the feeling of the warm penis in her mouth. Joel looked down. He placed his hands on Laura's head, wrapping his hands in her hair. She looked up and smiled around his penis.

Standing up, Laura gave Joel a kiss. "I love you, Baby, you know that don't you?"

"Yes, and I love you, Laura," Joel replied.

"I don't know if the others fool around with each other or not. Frankly, it's none of my business," Laura said. "There are only a few things I've very sure of. I'm sure I love my daughter and I couldn't be happier for her. I'm sure I love you and I couldn't be happier for me. And, I'm sure that there is no such thing as never or always."

"Are you saying you'd do something like that? I mean would you swing with another man?" Joel asked.

"I don't know, Sweetheart. It has never come up. I'm not going to tell you I wouldn't because it could turn out to be a lie. Joel, I decided that my life had to change. I decided to dump Bill because you mean more to me than he ever could. You have asked me to marry you and I want that more than anything, but not if it's going to cost me my independence.

"You asked if I would swing with another man. If an opportunity came up, and we both agreed, I might. How do you feel about it?" Laura said.

"Truthfully?" Joel said.

"Baby, I wouldn't have it any other way. If we can't be honest with each other, we have a limited future as far as I'm concerned. I don't want you to have to wonder about me and I don't want to wonder about you."

"Having a threesome has been a fantasy of mine for a long time. I did something like it in college, but not since. The only time it happened, I was so drunk I don't really remember too much about what happened or with whom. I agree that we need to be honest. I also feel we have to accept each other's honesty without the fear of reprisal."

"I couldn't agree more. Joel, I love you with all my heart. Do you remember the night you tried to fuck my brains out?" Joel smiled and nodded. "Do you remember what I said about doing anything for you?" Once again, Joel nodded. "Baby, I meant it. Your wish is my command. If there is anyway I can grant it, I will."

Joel smiled and said, "How about finishing the blowjob you started?"

Chuckling, Laura said, "With pleasure."

Laura returned to her knees. She took Joel's penis into her mouth, letting it slide back until she gagged. Swallowing, Laura kept his glans at the opening of her throat. Joel groaned as the vibrations of Laura's gagging transmitted through his member.

It didn't take long for Joel to feel his climax build. Laura kept up her sucking and bobbing her head until she felt his semen shoot into her mouth. She let it collect until Joel finished. Looking up, she opened her mouth to show him his come. She closed her mouth and swallowed.

"One of these days I'm going to learn to take it all, Baby." Laura kissed Joel's glans.

"I don't care if you do or not. You are the best I've ever experienced, Laura," Joel said as he pulled Laura to her feet. "We better get dressed so we can go."

Laura and Joel dressed. They gathered their things and got ready to leave the room. Before they left, Laura made the bed and tidied up. They went down to the living room to wait for the others. Don and Marge sat on one of the couches. They smiled when they saw Joel and Laura come into the room.

"Already to go?" Marge asked.

"Yes, as ready as I'm going to be. I'm still a little nervous about flying," Laura said.

"Don't worry about it, Laura. You'll do fine," Marge assured her.

The rest of the group began coming into the room. The men carried the luggage out to the van and placed it in back. They all got in and headed for the airport. Harry parked the van in the VIP lot. They grabbed their suitcases and headed for the executive terminal. Don checked in and asked about the pilot.

"The plane is ready to go. We'll see you girls in a couple hours," Don said.

The men kissed their wives. Joel kissed Laura. After saying goodbye, the men went outside to board the twin-engine plane. The women watched, waving at them.

"I think I want a drink," Marge said after the plane taxied away from the boarding area.

"That sounds good to me. Is there a bar in here?" Sarah said.

Marge asked a man if there was a place to get a drink. He pointed toward the private lounge. The women headed to the lounge and sat at a table. They ordered drinks and used them to toast each other after the server brought the drinks to the table.

"Have any of you been on one of these small planes before?" Laura asked.

"Marge and I have. We flew down on a small jet," Anne said.

"I haven't been on a small plane, but I have flown before," Ellen said.

"Same here," Sarah said. "I don't really like to fly. I have never felt unsafe, but there is something about it I don't like."

"The worse part for me is all the people. Flying on a private plane is much better than taking commercial airlines," Marge said. "You don't feel like cattle being led to slaughter."

"A private plane is a great way to join the mile-high-club too," Anne said with a chuckle.

"What's that?" Laura asked.

"It's a club you join by getting laid when you're over a mile up," Anne said. She giggled and took a sip of her drink. "Marge and I are members, aren't we, Sweetie?"

"Yeah, but we joined on a commercial flight. Those bathrooms are way too small to have a good fuck though," Marge said.

The five women laughed. Ellen and Sarah said they weren't members, but joining sounded like fun. The women talked and drank until the plane returned to pick them up. They went out to the tarmac and boarded the plane.

Laura and Marge sat on one side of the aisle facing each other. Anne and Ellen sat opposite them. Sarah took a seat behind Laura. The pilot welcomed the women and gave them a quick rundown. He told them about the flight, the safety features, and the need for the women to remain seated with their lap belts fastened.

The plane taxied down the runway and lifted off. Laura gripped the armrests and held her breath. Once the plane was airborne, she relaxed.

"That wasn't too bad," Laura said. "I thought it would be different. I really don't know what I expected, but this was okay."

Laura looked out the window at the ocean below. She was amazed at how blue it looked from the air. As she gazed outside, Laura thought about the discussion she and Joel had earlier.

"I have a question. You can tell me to mind my own business if you want to," Laura said. "Are you guys swingers?"

Marge and Anne looked at each other and then at Ellen. Sarah leaned over the seat so she could be part of the conversation. Suddenly the four women began to chuckle and then they laughed. Laura felt that she'd made a big mistake.

"No, we're not swingers, Laura. We're consulting adults that enjoy sex. Why do you ask?" Anne said.

"Joel said he thought he saw you guys fooling around in the pool last night," Laura said meekly.

"We were playing a little grab ass, but we weren't fooling around. When we fool around, someone, usually all of us, gets fucked," Ellen said.

"So you do swap," Laura said.

"No, we share, Laura. None of us are hung up on sex so we enjoy ourselves." Marge chuckled and added, "Sometimes we aren't real selective about who we enjoy ourselves with."

"I hope what we do isn't a problem for you, Laura. We've tried to behave ourselves when you and Joel are with us," Ellen said.

"You don't have to do that, not on my account. Do all of you do it?" Laura said.

"Yes, we all have fooled around together," Marge said.

"It doesn't cause any problems?" Laura said.

"None at all. We talked about it before anything happened. Marge, Don, Marc, and I have been fooling around since we were kids. Well, teenagers anyway. We found out Ellen, Harry, Jack, and Sarah liked fooling around too. One thing led to another and we all have been together," Anne said.

Sarah laughed and said, "It wasn't long ago I wouldn't have sex with Jack. I didn't undressed in front of him. Ellen convinced me I was foolish. She was right. I was foolish. I almost lost my family because of my prudish ways."

"So you just decided to start fooling around?" Laura asked Sarah.

"No, but I did start making love with my husband. I also eased up on my kids. Ellen and I fooled around first and then we did it with Jack and Harry. Now, we are all having fun," Sarah said.

"Have you ever done anything like that, Laura?" Marge said.

Shaking her head, Laura said, No, not yet." She blushed and giggled. The other woman started laughing too.

"Does that mean you want to?" Anne said.

"It means I'm not going to rule it out. I don't know if I could handle it or not. I also don't know about Joel, but he said he would like to try a threesome someday," Laura said.

"Does he want two men and a woman or two women with him?" Anne said.

Laura laughed and said, "I don't know. I didn't ask him."

"Its fun either way, Hon," Ellen said. "Have you ever been with a woman?"

"No, but I have thought about it. It seems Molly likes being with Kathy," Laura said.

"I'm sure she does. Kathy had told me that they really care for each other," Sarah said.

"We aren't sick or demented, Laura. We all know what we're doing and we all are very comfortable with it. No one is trying to steal anyone else's spouse. What we do is for pure pleasure," Marge said. "We also don't include the kids. They are busy enough without being with us. They have seen us a few times, but from afar."

"How do you get started?" Laura asked.

"In general or when we have one of our little parties?" Ellen said.

"When you have one of your parties. Do you plan them or is it something that just happens?" Laura said.

"Both I guess. We have planned a get together knowing what was going to happen, but usually it just happens," Marge said. "We get to horsing around and the next thing you know; you have a nice hard cock in your mouth. It might not be your husband's cock, or in your case, your boyfriends."

"Are there any rules?" Laura said.

"Yes, no means no and no one gets hurt. This is for fun. If someone says no, whatever is happening stops with no hard feelings between anyone. It hasn't happened, but that's a steadfast rule. It can help to talk about it with whomever you're with at the time. Let them know what you will and won't do," Ellen said.

"You all make it sound so simple," Laura said.

"It is simple. It's sex. As we've said, we do it for fun. I would rather do this than have to worry about Don looking for something strange to satisfy his urges. Don and I have great sex, but you know what they say, if you always eat steak, someday you're going to want to try chicken," Marge said.

"I know I'm being nosy, but are all of you bisexual?" Laura said.

"Pretty much, the girls more than the men," Anne said.

"The men fool around with each other too?" Laura sounded shocked when she said it.

"They have, Laura. The guys get into it as much as we do. They aren't homophobic by any stretch of the imagination. If one of them finds a cock in the pussy they're eating, that cock may get licked too," Sarah said with a chuckle. "God, all of this talk is making me hornier than a hoot-owl!"

"You are always horny, Sarah," Ellen said and then she laughed.

"I have been since that day on the boat. The day we threw the old Sarah overboard," Sarah said.

"So, Laura, are you and Joel going to join us for one of our little sex parties?" Anne said.

"I want to, I really do. However, I'm afraid of hurting Joel. I love him and don't want to upset him," Laura said.

"Didn't you say he wanted to be in a threesome?" Anne said.

"Yes, he said he did, but sometimes things don't go the way you think they will. I don't want to lose him," Laura said.

"Talk to Joel and make sure. Let him know that either of you can stop it if you decide it isn't for you. If I know men, once Joel sees you and one of us getting frisky, he'll join in," Marge said.

Laura smiled and nodded. She would talk to Joel and tell him what she'd learned. She could only hope he would be receptive to the idea. Knowing that she could say no made her decision that much easier. Laura closed her eyes and envisioned herself with one of the other women. It was a feeling, a desire, she had suppressed for a long time.

When the plane began its descent, Laura opened her eyes. She squirmed in her seat, but not because she was apprehensive of the landing, she was excited. The plane touched down and taxied to the area they would deplane. Marc waited at the foot of the boarding steps for the women.

"How was the flight?" Marc asked.

"It was good, very smooth," Anne said and then she gave her husband a quick peck on the cheek.

Laura grinned and mumbled, "Enlightening."

Marc led the women to the resort's shuttle. The group got on the mini bus and sat back as the driver took them to the hotel. He babbled on in his thick Bahamian accent, pointing out the things they passed.

At the hotel, Marc led the girls up to the rooms. Don reserved two adjoining suites for their stay. Each of the four bedrooms was equipped with a king size bed. A common balcony spanned the rooms and provided a view of the beach below. The cooling came from the ceiling fans and open windows.

"There aren't any screens on the windows," Laura said.

"No, there aren't many bugs down here, Laura. The bugs that get in are eaten by the lizards," Marc pointed at the ceiling. Laura looked up and saw a small green lizard attached to the stucco ceiling.

"Cute, I hope they don't jump into bed with me," Laura said with a chuckle.

"It looks like these couches pull out into beds. Laura and I will sleep on one of them," Joel said.

"No, you two can have a bedroom. Marc, Anne, Marge, and I will share one of the bedrooms this weekend," Don said. He chuckled and added, "We're used to it."

"There's only one bathroom in each suite," Marc said. "We'll have to share."

"That won't be a problem. What are we going to do now?" Marge said.

"Booze and bikinis. I want to get outside and get a drink," Sarah said. "We have to stay sober until after the captains' meeting though. I don't want to embarrass the kids."

Marge pulled her top off. "Where is our suitcase, Honey?" she said to Don.

"We're in that room," Don said as he pointed.

The women located their luggage. They put on their bikinis and shorts as cover-ups. Once they were ready, the group went down to one of the poolside bars. Don ordered Bahamas'-mamas for everyone. He passed out the bright plastic cups and then held his up. "Here's to a great weekend."

The group walked around the resort. They looked at the oddly shaped swimming pool and the people lounging around it. Don led them to the marina so they could look for their kids.

"I don't see their boat," Harry said. "They must be out fishing."

Marc looked at his watch. "It's only noon. We told them we would be here after one. I think we should sit by the pool and wait for them."

The group walked to the pool. They pulled lounges close and stretched out in the sun. The women removed their shorts and adjusted the bottoms of their suits before relaxing. Don and Harry went to the bar to get cold drinks for everyone. Don also bought a large bottle of suntan lotion.

"Who needs suntan lotion?" Don said as he held up the bottle.

Ellen rolled onto her back and said, "I do if you're going to put it on me."

Don smeared lotion on Ellen's back and the back of her legs. When he finished with her back, Ellen rolled over so Don could do her front. Don coated Marge next. Anne nudged Laura and whispered, "He has great hands."

Laura chuckled and asked Don to apply lotion on her. Using both hands, Don covered Laura's back and then her legs. Laura let out a soft sigh when Don's hands moved close to her crotch. Just before Don made contact with the gusset of Laura's suit, he removed his hands.

"Want me to do the front too?" Don asked.

Laura flipped on her back and smiled up at Don. Joel watched Don running his slippery hands over Laura. Joel also watched Laura's face. When she winked at him, Joel winked back. Don's hands grazed the tops of Laura's breasts. She unconsciously arched her back a little, pressing her breasts against Don's hands.

"You better be careful, Hon. Don might get the wrong idea," Joel said with a grin.

"Yeah, but he might get the right idea too," Laura said and then she mouthed, "I love you," to Joel.

Don sat down after applying suntan lotion to all the women. Marc sat up and said, "Hey, aren't you going to put lotion on me?"

Don laughed and said, "Sure, but you have to wear a thong like the women are wearing."

Everyone began laughing. Marc and Don traded barbs for a few moments before they settled down.

"There are the kids," Harry said as he pointed at the ocean. "I recognize the tower."

The parents got up. The women slipped on their shorts and then everyone headed to the marina. They watched the boat come into the marina and head for the gas dock. While the teens fueled the boat and had the holding tank pumped out, the parents stood at the edge of the pier.

Brad pulled away from the gas dock and headed for the slip. Molly waved to the group, as she stood ready with a dock line in hand. Harry caught the line when Molly tossed it to him. Harry and Jack Waters tied the boat to the pilings and waited for the kids.

"How was the fishing?" Don asked Tom.

Tom glanced around to make sure none of the other fishing teams would hear him. "Great, Uncle Don. We have five good areas marked for the tournament."

The parents boarded the boat and began talking with their children. Molly couldn't stop giggling while telling her mom and Joel about the fun she was having on the trip.

"It sounds like you're enjoying yourself, Honey," Laura said.

"Oh, Mom, I don't think I've ever had this much fun. How was your flight down here?" Molly said.

"Interesting, Molly, very interesting. The plane ride was fun after I got over my fear of flying," Laura said.

Marge overheard Laura and began laughing. She walked over to Laura and Molly. "Have you overcome your fear of flying, Laura?"

"I think I may have. Only time will tell, won't it?" Laura said with a knowing grin.

Marge nodded. Laura's choice of words tickled her.

"Are our kids behaving themselves?" Don asked Randy.

"They have been great hosts, Mr. Graham. Fran and I have been having a wonderful time. Today, they invited us to fish with them. We have all the tape we need until the tournament tomorrow," Randy said.

Eddie and Kathy stood with Harry and Jack Waters. "We have marked a lot of waypoints. I think we stand a good chance if most of the boats head out to the shelf. We hooked and tagged several marlin at a few of the waypoints," Eddie said.

"That sounds good, Son. How does the boat handle?" Harry said.

"This thing is a dream, Dad. She tracks straight and is very easy to maneuver at slow speeds. I can't thing of anything that needs changing," Eddie replied.

"Does the enclosed bridge cause any problems?" Jack Waters said.

"None at all. We have been using the tower when we're fishing, but with the intercom and the cockpit controls, we could fish without using the tower," Eddie said.

Jack came over and joined the conversation. "There is only one suggestion I have. It would be nice to have curtains on the tower. That way we could run the boat from up there in bad weather."

Harry looked up. He shaded his eyes with his hands and examined the tuna-tower. "That would be easy to do. We can make a full enclosure that will roll up and fasten to the hardtop. I'll have the canvas shop design and install it when we get back," Harry said.

"That was a great idea, Jack. I never thought about that," Eddie said.

"That's because Jack has been up there everyday and you haven't," Kathy said.

The teens chatted with their parents for a few minutes. Jack and Tom pulled out the hose and brushes so they could begin washing the boat. Sally and Molly helped the two boys and the others went into the cabin so they didn't get wet.

Randy and Fran went below to gather the gear they would need for the meeting later that evening. They packed one of the cases with a camcorder and recording equipment.

"Have you gotten over your jealousy yet, Hon?" Fran asked Randy.

Randy laughed and said, "I do believe I have. After spending a few days on this boat, I had to or I would have gone crazy. The funny thing is the fact that now I see just how silly I've been."

"A little jealousy is flattering, but when you act the way you used to, it was an aggravation. It made me feel as if you didn't trust me," Fran said.

"I do trust you, Fran. Let's just put that behind us—okay?"

Fran kissed Randy and said, "Okay."

Fran and Randy went back up to the cockpit. They scurried into the cabin so Tom didn't spray them. Inside, Randy placed the case on the deck. Fran noticed Jenny and Kim cleaning the cabin. She asked what she could do to help. Jenny handed her a bottle of cleaner and a cloth. She told Fran she could wipe down the counters.

Turning to Randy, Jenny said, "Eddie and Kathy are below. They're cleaning the passageway and the heads."

Randy nodded and went below to help.

"Jenny, you shouldn't enlist them to help clean the boat," Ellen said.

"We don't mind at all, Mrs. Shockley," Fran said. "We want to help. Today we weren't working. We were having fun. It's only fair we pitch in."

An hour later, the boat was spotless. The teens gathered in the saloon with the parents to plan the rest of the evening.

"We'll meet for dinner at five o'clock. That will give us time to eat and get to the meeting on time," Don said. "I have a reservation in the dinning room. Fran, Randy, please join us tonight."

Randy and Fran looked at each other and then nodded. They left with the parents so they could clean up and get some rest before dinner. The teens all told their parents they were going to head to the pool for a little while. Anne said she and the others would meet them there.

The teens went below to change into their suits. Then grabbed towels and headed for the pool. On the way, Kim and Tom grabbed Molly and walked with her between them. Molly giggled when Tom put his arm around her waist.

"I think we should wear our white uniforms tonight. We can wear the khaki or the green tomorrow," Kim said.

The girls all agreed. They walked up to the pool and found their parents sitting on lounge chairs. Dropping their towels, the teens jumped in the water and began horsing around.

The group hung around the pool until three thirty. Don said he and the other parents were going to their rooms to get ready for dinner. The teens told their parents they would meet then in the dinning room and left for the boat.

On the way back to their room, Laura pulled Joel toward the bar. "Honey, I want to talk with you for a minute," Laura said.

Chapter 35


"What's up, Honey?" Joel asked Laura as they walked along the path to one of the outdoor bars.

"I talked with the girls on the way down here today. They said they aren't swingers," Laura said.

Joel ordered two fruity drinks and gave one to Laura. They found a table away from the other people around the bar.

"Oh, I guess I was mistaken then," Joel said.

"Yes, as far as them swinging goes. They all have sex with each other, but they don't feel it's swinging," Laura said as she leaned close to Joel and kept her voice low.

"What's the difference?"

"The way they look at it I guess. They said they're all good friends that enjoy fooling around once in a while. After talking with the girls, I understand what they mean. I always thought of swinging as a group of people getting together to have sex with each other," Laura said.

"Isn't that what they do?" Joel said.

"No, not usually. They told me they get together as friends and sometimes they fool around. They normally don't get together just to have sex. Do you see the difference?" Laura said.

Joel sipped his drink while looking into Laura's eyes. "So, what are you trying to tell me? If you're saying you want to join them, I don't have a problem with that. We can try it and, if we don't feel comfortable, we don't have to continue."

Laura got up and plopped on Joel's lap. She hugged him and then gave him a tender kiss. "Are you saying that because you think it's what I want to hear?" Laura said.

"No, I'm saying it because I mean it. I hope you don't think you're the only one that can get a little kinky or have fantasies, Honey," Joel said.

"I knew there was a reason I'm so attracted to you and that I love you the way I do. You are as open minded as me, aren't you?" Laura said.

"Baby, I may have a few surprises for you too." Joel chuckled and said, "Do you like porn?"

"Watching it or making it?" Laura said.

Joel and Laura laughed. They got up to their room. On the way, Joel said, "I've never made a video like that, but it sure sounds like fun!"

Laura opened the door to their room she and Joel and stepped in. When Marge asked where they had been, Laura held up her drink.

"Don't get too loaded, Laura. Those things can sneak up on you," Ellen said.

"It's just punch. I ordered virgin drinks so we wouldn't get drunk," Joel said.

"Okay kids, we have to get dressed for dinner," Jack Waters said. "With only two showers, we'll have to share. Fortunately, the shower stalls are quite large."

Joel and Laura went through the doorway that connected the two suites. They shared the suite with Don, Marge, Marc, and Anne. Marge came out of her bedroom and went into the bathroom. She didn't bother to close the door. A moment later, Don joined her.

Joel and Laura went to their room. They removed their suits and sat on the bed to wait for the shower. Joel put his hand on Laura's leg and began stroking her thigh. She leaned against him.

"Hmmm, I love when you touch me, Hon," Laura said.

Joel moved his hand higher, pressing it against her vulva. Laura let out a soft moan and said, "I love when you touch my pussy even more."

"Shower is free," Marge said as she stuck her head in Joel and Laura's room.

Joel and Laura went to the bathroom. They climbed in the shower stall, turned on the water and began washing each other. A moment later, Marc opened the sliding door and said, "Mind if I join you two? Anne showered with Don and Marge."

"Come on in, Marc. There's plenty of room for three in here," Joel said. "I think you could fit four in this stall."

Marc got in the shower. Laura handed him the soap and began shampooing her hair. She felt someone washing her back and turned her head. Marc smiled as he ran his hands over her back and bottom. A moment later, Joel joined in. The two men rubbed their soapy hands all over Laura while she stood still an enjoyed it. She showered with some of the others in the pool house, but this was the first time she had had two men washing her.

The trio finished in the shower. They got out to dry off. Laura started fixing her hair, using a blow dryer and a brush. Joel and Marc left the bathroom to get dressed.

"We're all wearing shorts tonight," Anne said when she came into the bathroom. She stood next to the sink with Laura.

"Okay, I was going to ask what you guys planned to wear tonight." Laura giggled and said, "Marc showered with Joel and me."

"I know, I asked him to. Have you talked to Joel yet?" Anne said.

"Yeah, we're on the same page, Anne. I think he's as intrigued as I am." Laura looked at Anne's reflection in the mirror. "He may be more open to it than I am."

"You don't have to do anything you don't want to do if you have reservations, Laura. As we said on the plane, what we do is for fun—nothing more, nothing less," Anne said.

"I know and I'm fine with it." Laura turned to Anne and grinned. "I feel like a teenage girl on prom night. I'm still torn between what I want and what I was taught was right."

"Parents have a way of ruining us, don't they?" Anne said. "When I became pregnant, my parents disowned me. Marge's disowned her too. We've been on our own ever since. Now we just do what we want and the world be damned!"

The two women finished in the bathroom. They went to their bedrooms to dress and put on their makeup.

On the boat, the teens were getting ready for dinner and the meeting. Tom and Kim stood in one of the showers and talked about the day they spent fishing. When they got out, Kathy was waiting.

"I think you're smitten with Molly," Kathy said to Tom. "I know she has a crush on you."

Kim giggled and nodded her head. "Tom is smitten with anyone with boobs, Kathy."

Kathy giggled too. She looked at Kim and said, "Aren't all the boys that way?"

"Yeah, isn't it great?" Kim said as she pushed her chest out.

"Hey, that's not completely true. We like you guys, but not every girl we see," Tom said.

Kathy gave Tom a kiss on the cheek. "He's so cute! Anyway, if you guys want to get together with Molly, Eddie and I are down for it. We love her, but we think she may feel a little out of place. It wouldn't hurt if one of you guys flirted with her."

"How does Molly feel about it?" Kim asked.

"I don't think she knows how she feels. She told me that she felt the guys didn't find her sexy—if you know what I mean," Kathy said.

"We don't want to do anything to upset Molly, or anyone else. I think she's hot," Tom said. He looked at Kim. "Don't say it; I don't get all goofy over every girl!"

"I know you don't, Sweetie," Kim said.

Kathy and Kim smiled at each other. Kathy stepped into the shower. Kim and Tom went to their stateroom.

"I don't think anyone should do anything insincere with Molly," Tom said.

Kim wrapped her arms around Tom. She stretched up to kiss his lips. "I don't either, Honey, but I don't think you would be doing something insincere. Your heart is too big and caring to do that. I love you, Tom. We have talked about fooling around with the others and we agreed it would be okay. Nothing has changed," Kim said.

"You're something else; do you know that, Kim?" Tom said.

"I'm not something else. I'm just a fifteen-year-old girl that's horny most of the time. Neither of us wants to be exclusive, not right now. We have our entire lives ahead of us. We have no idea what the future holds for us. No matter what, I love you and always will," Kim said.

"It's too bad all guys don't have a girlfriend as great as you are. It's no wonder I love you like I do. I don't care if we're cousins, you are my girlfriend and I want it to stay that way," Tom said.

"Tom, we can have as much fun as we want to." Kim reached between them and fondled Tom's penis. "Just don't forget that this thing belongs in my pussy too."

"That's something I'll never forget." Tom and Kim shared a tender kiss.

Kim giggled and released Tom. She went to her drawer to get clean underwear. While she put on her bra, she started to laugh. "Don't forget that your cock belongs in my mouth and ass too, Baby."

Tom laughed. He went over to Kim and playfully smacked her butt. She giggled and said, "Your sister is the one that likes getting spanked."

"Sorry, I won't do that again," Tom said.

"That's not what I said. I just said Sally likes it. How would I know if I like it? You've never spanked me," Kim said.

Tom laughed and started getting dressed. He watched as Kim adjusted her sheer white bra and then put on a matching thong. Before putting on her skirt, Kim strutted around the room for Tom.

The teens met in the saloon. They all looked great in their matching outfits. Randy and Fran came by. Randy stood on the pier and hollered, "Ahoy there, permission to come aboard."

Jenny went to the door to invite them in. When Fran saw how the teens were dressed, she turned to Randy.

"Get your camera out. I want to get some tape of the team dressed like they are," Fran said. "Let's go outside. I want to get a shot of all of you standing along the bow rail."

The group went outside. The team lined up along the bow rail. The girls stood closest to the bow and the boys lined up aft of them. Fran arranged the teens by height. Once she was satisfied, she told Randy to get them on tape. He shouldered his camcorder and began capturing the teens on tape. They stayed still for a few moments, but then they began to goof around.

"You can't see up our skirts, can you, Randy?" Kim said with a giggle.

"No, darn it, I can't," Randy said.

Fran laughed and said they had enough tape. The teens walked to the cockpit and milled around while Randy put the camcorder away.

"We better get going, it's almost five," Eddie said.

Don and the other parents waited at the entrance of the restaurant. When the teens arrived, they all went in. The host showed them the private room Don reserved.

During dinner, Randy and Fran taped the group. They told the teens they wanted to record the interaction with the parents.

"It will show the viewers that you are part of a family, not just a bunch of kids that fish together," Fran said.

The families sat together as groups. Jack and Kim sat close to their mom and dad with Tom and Sally across from them with Anne and Marc. Behind Kim and Jack, Jenny and Eddie sat with Harry and Ellen.

"So, it looks like you kids are having a good time on this trip," Marc said.

"We're having a blast, Daddy. I can't wait until we move to Florida," Sally said.

"When can we move?" Kim asked.

"We've been talking about that, kids. We think we'll move as soon as you're finished with school," Marge said.

"What are we going to do with our trucks?" Tom asked.

"We can have them shipped down or you can drive them. What are you planning to do with your other boat?" Don said.

"I don't know, Dad. I guess we could keep it in Michigan for salmon fishing when we go up there," Jack said.

"Why don't you bring it down here or sell it? If you want to go salmon fishing, you can rent a boat or take a charter," Marc said.

"I really hate to think about selling the boat. It was our first one," Jack said.

"Then bring it down here. You can use it in saltwater, can't you?" Anne said. "What's one more boat?"

"If we bring the Lucky Lady to Florida, we'll have to drive one of the trucks to tow it, won't we?" Sally said.

"Not really, Honey. We can have it shipped with the other vehicles. You kids have time to think about it," Don said.

"I'll talk to Eddie and see what he thinks," Jack said.

"Ask me about what?" Eddie said as he leaned back on the rear legs of his chair.

"We were talking about my boat, the one in Michigan. I don't know if I should sell it or bring it down to Florida when we move," Jack said.

"What is it? You told me, but I don't remember," Eddie said.

"She's a twenty-seven foot sport fisherman. She has a small cutty cabin and an open deck. The boat is powered with a two hundred sixty horse Mercruiser," Jack said. "The cutty has a stand-up head and she's rigged for salmon fishing."

"How much does she draw?" Eddie asked.

"About eighteen inches empty," Jack replied.

"It sounds like it would be a good boat for fishing the Intracoastal Waterway," Eddie said.

"Maybe I will keep the boat. It has some sentimental value for me," Jack said.

Eddie dropped his chair back on the floor. Jack looked at Kim and said, "What do you think we should do?"

Grinning, Kim said, "I love that boat. We had so much fun on it last summer. If you want my opinion, I say we keep it."

Jack put his hand on Kim's leg and gave her a firm squeeze above her knee. "Then it's settled, we'll keep the boat. For now anyway."

The servers brought the meals and passed them out. The room became quiet while everyone enjoyed their food. They still talked, but not nearly as loud.

Randy and Fran shared a table with Joel, Laura, and Molly. Sarah and Joel listened with interest while Fran told them about the past few days on the boat. She talked more about fishing than the taping she and Randy had done.

"We all went swimming in the ocean, Mom. The water down here is so nice," Molly said.

"We can see the ocean from our room. It looks very inviting. I think we're going to spend some time on the beach tomorrow," Laura said.

"Be careful, the sun is a lot hotter down here. You can burn very easily," Molly said.

"I'll make sure to use sunscreen, Honey. Are you getting tanned?" Laura said.

Molly giggled and said, "We have been sunning when we can. I don't have tan lines anymore. We've been skinny dipping."

Laura smiled at her daughter and said, "Marge said there's a beach not too far from here where we can go topless. We might walk there tomorrow."

Fran giggled as she listened to Laura and her daughter. Finally, she said, "Do all of you run around half naked?"

"No, we run around completely naked when we can," Laura said with a grin. "It took a little getting used to, but now I'm very at ease with it. Did the kids talk you two into joining them?"

"It didn't take much for me, but Randy wasn't too sure about it at first," Fran said.

"Yeah, but once I did, it was great," Randy said and then he chuckled. "I guess everyone is skeptical at first."

"I'm with you, Randy. I didn't think it was something I would do with a group of people," Joel said.

The servers came to the tables to clear the dirty dishes. They passed out dessert menus and recommended the key lime pie. Most of the group took the servers' suggestion.

"This is good," Laura said. "I make key lime pie and this is like mine. Very tart."

The group finished their desserts. Don ordered coffee and after dinner drinks for anyone that wanted them. While they sat and visited, Pat Baker came in the room. He went to the table where Fran and Randy sat and pulled up a chair.

"How's it going?" Pat asked.

"Great, we're getting some great footage, Pat. I think you'll be very pleased when you see it. Fran and I have editing to do when we get back, but it won't take too long," Randy said.

"That's good news. I'm really excited about this project. It could be a great boost for you two if we can make it fly," Pat said.

"We hope so too. Of all the projects we've worked on, this one has been the most fun," Fran said. "Randy and I even got to fish. I caught a marlin and Randy caught a sailfish."

"Is there anything you two need?" Pat asked.

"No, we're all set. We're going to work at the captains' meeting tonight and be on the water tomorrow morning. The boat layout out is great for what we want," Randy said.

"Sounds good to me. I will see you two tomorrow afternoon," Pat said. "I'm going to say hi to everyone before I leave."

"He seems a little gruff," Joel said.

"He can be at times. We're hoping this project will open some new opportunities for us," Fran said.

At twenty to seven, the group left the dining room and headed for the meeting. The large conference room had tables setup and a small bar for soft drinks. The team sat at one of the large round tables close to the stage. The parents sat in the rear of the room.

"Do you always come to these meetings?" Laura asked.

"We try to attend them when we can. It's important for us to support the kids," Ellen said.

"What goes on at the meeting?" Joel said.

"The tournament director will go over the rules and then they will assign observers to each boat," Ellen replied.

"What are the observers for?" Laura said.

"They make sure the teams' catches are legal and record the fish that are caught. They make sure no one cheats too. When there's money involved, it can bring out the larceny in people," Jack Waters said.

At seven o'clock sharp, the director called the meeting to order. He welcomed everyone and then began going over the rules and scoring.

"My name is Wally Tanner. I am the director of this year's tournament. I would like to welcome the fishing teams and our guests. This year, we have twenty-six boats entered. That is a new record. Each year, our tournament grows. Someday, we hope to make offshore bill fishing as popular as bass fishing."

The crowd laughed at the statement about bass fishing. Everyone knew the sport would never be a big as bass fishing was.

"This year, we will be fishing in the waters within seventy-five miles of this island. We want everyone to keep an eye on the weather. While there are no storms forecasted, you all know how fickle the weather can be. The rules are the same as last year, but we'll review them for our new participants.

"Sail fish are worth fifty points each. Marlin are worth two hundred points. All fish are to be legally tagged. That means a tag must be placed above the lateral line and behind the gill plate. A miss tagged fish carries a fifty-point penalty.

"All legal methods for catching fish are acceptable. This includes the use of live bait, the use of kites and the like. The line on the pitch rods is to be twenty-pound test monofilament. Each observer will verify the line used. Teaser rods can use any line weight. Leaders can be eighty-pound test. The leaders cannot be wire. All leaders must be cut within thirty-six inches of the hook. Captains are responsible for marking the leaders before they're used.

"The leader must be shown to the observer in order for the fish to score. Circle hooks are worth an additional fifty points. We advocate the use of circle hooks to help protect our fishery. If you hook a fish, you are to call it in. After tagging and cutting the leader, you are to call the catch in.

"If a fish is hooked, and the line breaks during the fight, there is a one-hundred point penalty. We don't want fish swimming around with two hundred feet of line hanging from their mouths. Good sportsmanship is a must. The observers are to report any unsportsmanlike conduct. Teams sited for this infraction will be subject to disqualification. If the observer thinks a team is acting in an unsportsmanlike manor, they will inform the captain. The captain has the right to challenge the observer at a meeting of the rules committee.

"We will fish for two days. Fishing begins at seven o'clock each morning and ends at three o'clock in the afternoon. If you are fighting a fish when 'lines out' is called, you must call it in. All teams must have a representative at the scoring meeting. The scoring meeting is at four-thirty each day. The rules are in the pamphlet you received when you registered.

"Are there any questions?" Wally said.

No one raised their hand or asked any questions. Wally looked around the room and asked once again.

"Great, that means I did my job. I will call out the name of each team and the name of the captain. When you hear your name called, please have your team stand up and introduce themselves. I will assign your observer. Please remain standing until the observer can find you. Once all the teams have an observer assigned, we can socialize. Many of our sponsors have booths set up. Please make sure to visit them. If it weren't for the sponsors, this tournament wouldn't be as successful as it's become."

Wally began reading off the names of the teams and the captains. When he said, "Lady Guinevere, Captain Jenny Shockley", the team stood up. One by one, the team members introduced themselves. When Molly said her name, her voice cracked.

"Jenny, your observer is Kristin Elkins," Wally said. "Please remain standing until Kristin locates you."

Wally called off the next name. The crew of Hasty stood up to introduce themselves.

"Hi, I'm Kristin," A woman said as she walked up to the table.

"I'm Jenny, pleased to meet you, Kristin. This is the team," Jenny said. She pointed and introduced the team to Kristin.

"It's nice to meet all of you. I think you have the biggest team here," Kristin said.

"It's nice to meet you too. Our team is big, but we're good," Jenny said with a smile.

"I've heard that from a few of the other teams that have fished against you," Kristin said.

The woman sat down to chat with the teens. When Jenny told her where they moored the boat, Kristin chuckled.

"I think everyone here knows your boat, Jenny. It's the largest one in the fleet," Kristin said. "How big is she?"

"Lady Guinevere is seventy-five feet long," Jenny said.

Kristin smiled and said, "My husband owes me. I bet him it was over seventy feet, but he said it wasn't. When Carl heard I was assigned to your boat, he told me to ask if I could get him aboard."

"Sure, we can go there tonight after the meeting if you'd like to." Jenny giggled. "We love showing her off."

Kristin told the team she would see them later. She got up and left to find her husband. The teens listened to Wally. He finished assigning observers to the boats and ended the meeting.

During the meeting, Fran and Randy taped everything, including the team's introduction. They put their equipment away and came over to the table.

"We're going to call it a night," Randy said. "We'll see you in the morning. Fran and I have recorded everything we wanted to."

"Okay, we'll be up by five and plan to leave the dock at six tomorrow. We can't start fishing until seven, but we can motor to where we want to fish before then," Jenny said.

"We'll be there on time, Jenny," Fran said. "Would you mind if we took our gear to the boat? That way we can recharge the batteries and we won't have to lug it in the morning."

"Sure, let me get someone to go with you. The boat is locked," Jenny said.

Jenny went over to Jack and asked if he would take Randy and Fran to the boat. He nodded and said, "I'll be right back, Jenny."

Jack, Randy, and Fran left the building. Jenny went over to where Molly, Tom, and Eddie were talking. Jack came back a few minutes later and rejoined his teammates.

"Let's get sodas," Eddie said. "I'm dying of thirst."

The team walked toward the refreshment stand. On the way, a few of the other teams stopped them to ask about the boat. They talked for a few moments and moved on.

"How are you kids doing?" Andy Nester said as he walked up to the refreshment stand.

"Great, Andy. How are things going in your booth?" Tom said.

"Not too bad. If you guys do well tomorrow, it will increase the activity. Several of the captains have asked me to have Shimano to sponsor them. I have to tell them we have enough teams sponsored for now. What do you kids want, I'll buy," Andy said.

The teens ordered sodas. Andy paid for the drinks and said, "Make sure you stop by the booth before you leave tonight. I have something for you."

Jack stood next to Sally. He wanted to put his arm around her, but resisted the urge. She looked up at him and smiled. As if she could read Jack's mind, she said, "I know, I want to hold you too." Jack smiled and nodded his head.

The teens wandered around the room and talked with some of the other teams. Most of them wanted to ask about the boat.

"Hey, kid, are you going to give us a chance to win this weekend?" Jeff from Hasty said.

"You always have a chance to win, Jeff. We just manage to get lucky," Jenny said and then she giggled.

"Yeah right, I don't think luck has much to do with it. I didn't see your boat out there yesterday or today. Didn't you guys pre-fish?" Jeff asked.

"We were out both days, Jeff. It's a big ocean you know," Jenny said. "Where's Heather?"

"She's at home. Heather is pregnant with our first child," Jeff said proudly.

"I didn't know you two got married," Jenny said.

"Yes and the baby will be born a couple months after our nine month anniversary," Jeff said and then he laughed. Jenny giggled and congratulated him.

"When are you and Brad going to tie the knot?" Jeff said.

"Oh I don't know. I thought we'd wait until we get out of high school before we think about that," Jenny said.

Jeff laughed and said, "I forget you're that young, Jenny. No offense."

"That's okay, I don't mind. I have to go visit with my parents. I haven't seen them all night. Good luck tomorrow, Jeff," Jenny said.

"You too. See you on the water," Jeff said.

Jenny walked to the table her parents sat at. She pulled up a chair and said, "Hi, how did you like the meeting?"

"It was good, the same as always, but good," Ellen said. "I see you're being a social butterfly tonight. Who was that man you were just talking to?"

"That was Jeff Lamar. He runs a boat called Hasty. We've beaten him a few times and he doesn't let me forget it. He's really nice," Jenny said.

"Where are the rest of the kids?" Marge asked.

"I don't know. They're probably over at the Shimano booth. Andy said he had something for us," Jenny said. "I better get over there too. See you later."

Jenny left and went to the booth. The rest of the team stood near the booth talking to a few men. Jenny moved into the group and realized they were talking about the Shimano rods and reels. Eddie told the men about the smoothness of the new drag system on the reels. Jack mentioned how well the rods performed and that we hadn't had one instance of the line catching on the side of a roller guide.

The men asked a few more questions. Andy stepped in when one of the men asked about the composition of the rods. Andy told them that Shimano used a unique process in the construction of the rods. They began talking about the components and the design. The team stood close so they could hear and be able to answer questions in the future.

"Here, I brought these for you," Andy said as he handed Jack a large bag. "They are new reels we want you to test. I know you won't be using them this trip, but give them a try as soon as you can. We need feedback on how they perform."

Jack pulled one of the reels out of the bag. He opened the box and looked inside.

"These are prototypes. We plan to release them next year if they are ready and work well. They should be great for tuna fishing this summer," Alex said.

"We don't fish for tuna, Andy," Eddie said as he looked at one of the large reels.

"You mean you haven't fished for tuna. We want you to fish in the Carolina tuna classic this summer. I talked with your parents and they said you could go if you wanted to. Shimano will pick up all the expenses including fuel and entrance fees," Andy said.

"When is the tournament?" Sally said.

"The tenth through the twelfth of July. It's a three-day tournament. First prize is twenty five thousand dollars," Andy said. "We'll also pay for you to go early so you can practice."

"We'll talk about it and let you know," Jenny said. "It sounds like it would be fun."

"The fishing takes place a long way offshore. Last year the boats ran out just over a hundred miles. There are many good teams, but I know you will do well if you decide to fish in it," Andy said.

"I think we need to concentrate on this tournament for now. We'll talk about the tuna tournament and let you know. In the meantime, we can try these reels around home," Eddie said.

Andy nodded and told the teens he understood. He told them he would take the reels with him so the team didn't run into any trouble with customs. After saying goodbye, the teens left to go talk to their parents. They stood around the table for a few minutes talking about what Andy told them. Don said they should talk about it when they returned home.

"I think we should go to bed. We have to get up early and fish tomorrow," Kim said.

"I'll go find Kristin and tell her we're leaving," Jenny said. "She wanted to see the boat."

Jenny left the others to find Kristin. When she did, Jenny told the woman they were heading to the boat. Kristin said she would find her husband and meet Jenny at the boat.

The teens walked outside with their parents. They talked on the way to the hotel, telling their parents goodnight before heading for the boat.

"We don't have to be up at the crack of dawn. Who would like a drink?" Don said.

The adults made their way to an outdoor bar. They sat at two tables after pushing them together and ordered drinks. Sitting in the warm evening air, they talked about the tournament Andy invited the kids to fish.

On the way back to the boat, Eddie stopped. He stood still for a moment and then looked at the others.

"Do you feel that?" Eddie said as they walked on the pier.

"What, Eddie?" Jack said.

"The northern breeze. I think a cold front is moving in. We need to check the weather," Eddie said.

When the group reached the boat, the guys went up to the bridge to check the weather channel. Eddie was correct about the front moving in to the area.

"Is this going to change how we plan to fish?" Tom said.

"It might, Tom. We'll have to see how things look in the morning. If a blow comes in, we'll try fishing where we were today, but on the lea side of the islands. Don't forget to keep your eyes open for birds tomorrow. They may help us find the baitfish," Eddie said.

Jack pulled out a chart. The guys looked at the chart and the areas they marked over the past three days. They talked about their options and decided to see what the weather was like in the morning.

The guys went down to the saloon. They sat next to their girls on the settees and joined the conversation. The girls were talking about the tournament Andy wanted them to fish in July. They all agreed it would be fun to travel to the Carolinas for the tournament.

Kristin and her husband walked up to the boat. She called out for Jenny. A moment later, Jenny went out to the cockpit and invited Kristin and her husband aboard.

"Jenny, this is my husband, Lee. Lee, this is Jenny, the captain of the team," Kristin said.

"Nice to meet you, Lee, welcome aboard," Jenny said.

"Thanks for inviting us. I saw this boat in the marina and wanted to check it out. She is beautiful," Lee said.

"We love her. Come on, I'll show you around," Jenny said.

Jenny led the couple into the saloon and introduced Lee to the rest of the team. After the guys shook hands, Brad and Jenny gave Lee and Kristin a tour of the boat. Both Lee and Kristin made several comments about the boat. After the tour, they returned to the saloon.

"This is one of the nicest boats I've been on. It is by far the nicest fishing boat I've seen. Thanks again for the tour," Lee said. "I'm jealous of Kristin. I would love to go out with you tomorrow."

"Sorry, Honey, I drew this boat, you have your own boat to observe. Better luck next time," Kristin said.

Kristin said she would see the team at five thirty the next morning. She and Lee left the boat. The teens sat in the saloon for a while and talked about the next day.

After a half hour, they all decided it was time for bed. Jenny, Brad, Eddie, and Kathy went down first. Molly told Eddie and Kathy she would be down in a few minutes. Jack and Sally got up and headed for the steps. Tom and Kim followed them.

"Are you coming, Molly?" Sally said.

"Yeah, I'll go down in a few minutes," Molly said.

When they got to their stateroom, Kim turned to Tom and said, "I think there's something wrong with Molly. She hasn't been her usual self tonight."

"Maybe you should go talk to her," Tom said.

Kim shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe you should go."

"Are you sure? Don't you think she would feel better talking to a girl?" Tom said.

"No, I think you might do better than me. If she doesn't want to talk, come back and I'll try," Kim said. She kissed Tom and told him to hurry back.

Tom went back up to the saloon. He didn't see Molly so he went outside. Molly was standing in the cockpit looking over the water.

"Is everything okay, Molly?" Tom said.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. Tom moved closer to her and stood silently. Molly turned around after a few moments and looked up at Tom.

"Do you think I'm ugly?" Molly said.

"What? Are you kidding, you're very beautiful, Molly. Why would you ask me that?"

"I don't know. I'm not thin and sexy. I have a fat ass and don't look like the other girls. Sometimes I feel like a fifth wheel too."

Tom took a chance. He moved closer to Molly and put his hands on her waist. Looking into her eyes, he said, "You are every bit as sexy as the other girls. I don't know why you feel like a fifth wheel. Eddie and Kathy love you."

"I know they do. It's just that everyone has started flirting with everyone else now. I can see how Jenny and Brad are around Jack and Sally. Then, they tell us they slept together," Molly said.

Tom chuckled and said, "I don't think they got much sleep, Molly."

Molly giggled. "You know what I meant."

Tom took Molly's chin in his hand. He tilted her head up and moved his mouth toward hers. Just before their lips touched, Molly pulled her head away. She rested her head against Tom's chest.

"We shouldn't do that, Tom. What about Eddie and Kathy? What about Kim? They'll be pissed at both of us."

"No they won't."

"How do you know?" Molly said.

"Because I talked to Eddie and Kathy about it. I asked them if they minded if I flirted with you. Kim knows too. She sent me up to talk to you. Look, Molly, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. You know that. I think you're cute and sexy and would be honored to kiss you."

"Really, or are you just trying to make me feel better?" Molly said.

"Really, I do want to kiss you. As for making you feel better, the answer is yes. I don't want anyone to feel bad," Tom said.

Molly removed her head from Tom's chest. She looked up, and when Tom leaned down to kiss her, she let him. Their lips met tenderly. The closed mouth kiss lingered for a moment before they stopped and looked into each other's eyes again. Molly smiled and said, "Thank you; that was nice."

Tom kissed Molly again. While they kissed, Tom pushed his tongue against Molly's lips. She opened her mouth and flicked her tongue against his. Tom hugged her closer. He ran his hands up and down Molly's back until he was holding her bottom. Pulling her skirt up, Tom put his hands on her butt. Molly's thong left her cheeks bare and Tom began to knead them.

Pulling his head back, Tom said, "I think you have a fantastic ass. It's as nice an ass as I've ever had the pleasure to fondle. I know a fat ass when I see one, and you don't have a fat ass. If we had time, I would kiss and worship your ass."

Molly started giggling. She shook her head and said, "You're just saying that."

Tom removed one of his hands. He took one of Molly's wrists in his hand and guided her hand to his crotch. Rubbing Molly's hand against his erection, Tom said, "Does that feel like I'm just saying it?" Tom removed his hand from Molly's wrist so he could return it to her bottom. Molly left her hand on his engorged penis and gently squeezed it.

"No, I guess not. This feels like a nice hard cock," Molly said.

"It is hard. It's hard for you, Sweetie. One of these days, if you want to, I would love to put my cock inside you."

"I'd like that, Tom."

"Molly, you know how I feel about Kim and I know how you feel about Eddie and Kathy. I don't want us to breakup with them, but I would love to get together with you. I meant it when I said you're sexy. I also meant it when I said you have a great ass." Tom moved one of his hands to her breast. "You have great boobs too. I've been watching them and now I get to touch them."

"You're a nut, Tom. I can't believe you're doing this," Molly said.

"Why not? If we didn't have to get up so early, I would take you to bed and keep you up all night."

"I'd settle for another kiss."

Smiling, Tom kissed Molly again. He moved his hand from her bottom to the front and rubbed her mons. Molly moaned into his mouth as her hand squeezed his penis. They stopped kissing. Tom removed his hands from Molly's breast and mons. He held her close and rubbed her back.

"Tom, thanks for liking me. I feel so much better now."

"So do I, now that I know I have a chance to get closer to you. I do have a chance, don't I?"

Molly sighed and said, "Oh yes."

"Let's go to bed. We have a big day tomorrow. This is a first for both of us," Tom said.

"I know and I'm excited about it." Molly giggled and kissed Tom briefly. "I'm excited about fishing in the tournament too."

"I'll bet you'd look sexy walking down to the staterooms in your undies," Tom said.

Molly giggled and began unbuttoning her shirt. Tom stopped her and took over. After undoing all the buttons, Tom parted the shirt. He leaned closer so he could kiss the tops of Molly's breasts. She held his head against her chest for a moment then pulled him away.

Tom grinned and unfastened her skirt. Molly held his shoulder as she stepped out of the skirt. Tom took her shoulders and turned her around. He let out a low wolf whistle as he gazed at Molly's body. Molly giggled and gathered her clothes. She swayed her butt as she walked in front of Tom. When they got down to the passageway, Tom and Molly shared a quick kiss. They said goodnight and went into their rooms.

"Hmmm, what have you been up to?" Kathy said when Molly came into the stateroom she shared with Kathy and Eddie.

"Tom and I were talking, Honey." Molly removed her bra and panties before climbing into bed. "He was flirting with me. Tom said he thinks I'm sexy."

"Sweetheart, I don't know how many times I've told you that the only person that doesn't think you're a hottie is you. Maybe someday you'll believe me." Kathy took Molly in her arms. She kissed Molly tenderly and said, "You know I love you, don't you?"

"Yes, I know. I love you too."

Eddie leaned over Kathy so he could kiss Molly. "We all love you, Honey. Did you and Tom have fun?"

"I don't know if it was what you'd call fun. He kissed me and we talked. Tom said he wants to have sex with me. I won't do it if it'll make you guys mad at me," Molly said.

"It's up to you, Molly. You having sex with Tom won't change the way I feel about you," Eddie said.

Kathy snuggled against Molly. "This could be fun. You, Tom, and me. You, Tom, and Eddie. Kim, Eddie and me. You, Kim, and me. You, Kim, and Eddie. Kim, Tom, and me. Hmmm, how about all five of us together? We could have a blast!"

"Yeah we could, but only if you two still love me," Molly said.

"You don't have to worry about that, Honey," Kathy said. She kissed Molly again and put her hand between Molly's legs. "Goodnight, Molly."

"Goodnight, Kathy, goodnight, Eddie, I love you two," Molly said as she snuggled against Kathy.

Tom removed his clothes and got in bed with Kim. He rolled Kim on her back and kissed her.

"Did you and Molly straighten things out tonight?" Kim said.

"I think so. She feels she isn't sexy and that her butt is too big," Tom said.

Kim giggled and said, "Almost all girls think their asses are too big, Sweetie."

"Do you think you have a big butt?" Tom said.

"Frankly, I couldn't care less. My body is what it is. If someone doesn't like it, they don't have to look at me. I am lucky enough to have you and Jack in my life. You two make me feel sexy and that's all I care about."

"I told Molly I would like to have sex with her."

"Cool, can I join you two? We could have fun together. Maybe Eddie and Kathy will let me sleep with them so you can sleep with Molly some time," Kim said.

"Maybe Eddie and I will double team you," Tom said.

"Hmmm, that sounds interesting. I remember Megan telling me about the night you and Jack did that to her. I've wanted to try it ever since she told me," Kim said. She gave Tom a kiss. "You want to know a secret?"

"What?" Tom said.

"I love you more everyday. You are a great guy, Tom. It was very nice of you to go out and talk to Molly tonight. I'm sure it meant a lot to her," Kim said softly. "We're a weird bunch, but I wouldn't change a thing. I'm having a wonderful time with wonderful friends and a wonderful boyfriend."

"You are a great girl, Kim. Not many girls are as open and understanding as you are," Tom said.

"I don't know. I think our group is well adjusted. We all seem to think along the same lines. Do you have any idea of the odds of us having so much in common?"

"What do you mean?"

"All of us have sex with our sibling. We are all interested in fishing. We all love being naked together. We don't fight over silly things. No one tries to one up anyone else. I talked with my mom about it the other day. She says we're very fortunate to have a group like ours."

"I kind of see why Molly feels out of place now," Tom said.

"Molly will learn to fit in, Honey. She has to get over her insecurities first. I think all of us can help her with that. I'm not talking about sex either. Well, not only sex. What will help her is for us to make sure she is included in everything we do as much as we can. You have to watch her so you know when she's getting moody."

"If I miss it, will you let me know?" Tom said.

"You bet I will. Now, give me a kiss so we can get some sleep."

Tom and Kim kissed each other. They cuddled close and fell asleep in each other's arms.

-------

"Who's ready for another drink? I think it's my turn to buy," Joel said.

"I'll have one more, Honey. I don't want to get drunk," Laura said.

"Why not? After all, we're on vacation," Sarah said with a smile. "We have to behave at home, but when we're away, all bets are off."

Laura chuckled and said, "Because when I drink too much, I get sleepy." She glanced at Joel and grinned. "I have plans for later, that require me staying awake."

"Honey, we all have the same plan. Getting a little buzz going helps loosen you up. At least it does for me," Ellen said.

"I don't know if getting drunk serves a purpose, but I agree with Ellen, a little buzz makes things mellow," Marge said.

"A little buzz puts you on your back," Marc said and then he chuckled.

"A warm smile will do the same thing. You and Don never seem to mind!" Marge shot back.

"Take it easy, we don't want to scare Laura and Joel off. They probably aren't used to us when we get going," Don said.

"It takes a lot to scare me, Don," Laura said with a smile. "Joel, I'll take that drink now."

Joel flagged down a server so he could order another round of drinks for everyone. The server left for the bar after taking the orders.

"What do you think about the kids going up to the Carolinas this summer?" Anne said. "They seem excited about the idea."

"I don't see why they can't go if they want to. It would be a great trip for them. I hear the outer banks are very beautiful," Don said. "Maybe you folks can plan your vacations around the tournament so we can all go. We could take Tomiko."

"That would be a dream trip," Laura said.

"Let's see how things work out," Don said.

"This is the first real vacation I've been on. Molly and I went to Cocoa Beach when she was fourteen, but other than that weekend, we haven't been far from home," Laura said.

"I have a feeling that's about to change, Hon. As long as Molly is fishing, I'll do what I can to make sure you get to travel with her and the kids," Joel said.

Laura smiled at Joel and then said, "You're a sweetie."

The drinks arrived a few minutes later. Don held up his plastic cup and said, "Here's to good friends and good times."

Sarah lifted her cup and said, "Yeah, and hot sex!"

"I think someone is horny," Ellen said.

"It's all your fault you know. If you hadn't talked me into changing, I'd still be the cold bitch I used to be," Sarah said.

"That woman is gone and forgotten," Jack said as he smiled at his wife.

Sarah took a deep breath, leaned close to Jack, and kissed his cheek. "I still don't know why you didn't toss me out on my ass."

"Because I happen to like your ass," Jack replied.

"Yeah, we all like your ass, Sarah," Marc said. "Not to mention a few other parts."

Ellen giggled. She looked around and then said, "I like your pussy."

"I like yours too, Baby," Sarah said.

"Oh well, it looks like you and I are going to be beating our meat tonight, Harry," Jack said.

Everyone laughed at what Jack Waters said. They started joking and making innuendos about the possible couplings. After a few moments, Joel and Laura joined the fun. The group laughed and tried to out do one another.

Marge suggested the group go to their suites. Don asked if anyone wanted another drink to take to the rooms with them. Everyone ordered another cocktail and then left.

The group gathered in one of the connecting suites. They sat on the couches and chairs, carrying on the sexually charged conversation. Marge and Anne began telling about their teenage years.

"Anne and I used to tease our brothers every chance we got. Don and Marc teased us too." Marge chuckled and put her hand on Anne's arm. "I'll never forget the day we fooled around together when we knew the boys were watching through the window."

Anne and Marge laughed, as did the rest of the group. Anne took over and told them about the first time she experienced oral sex. She told about the night a boy she dated tried to make her go down on him and about his reaction when she refused.

"When I told him what happened, Don got all pissed off at the boy." Anne laughed. "Then he showed me how to give a boy a blowjob. The next day, Marc and my big brother kicked the crap out of the boy."

As the group talked about their sexual adventures, Laura thought about hers. She reflected on the times she and her brother kissed and touched each other. Sighing, Laura wondered why she and Ted didn't go any further.

"Your turn, Joel, fess up. What happened your first time?" Harry said.

"I assure you, it wasn't as exciting as your stories are. My first experience with sex was when I was about fourteen. We lived on Long Island and I hung around with a guy that lived in the neighborhood. He and I discovered masturbation and spent a lot of time honing our skills.

"One day, we decided to do it to each other. After a few weeks of that, we went further." Joel chuckled to hide his embarrassment. "Marty Goldman gave me my first blowjob and I gave him his."

Laura grinned and said, "How about with a girl?"

"Aha, that would be Erica Steinmann. Marty and I met her on the beach and the three of us became friends. We talked her into giving us blowjobs. Erica agreed if we would go down on her. Over the next few years, the three of us learned about sex," Joel said.

"What happened to her?" Laura said.

"Marty married her. They still live in New York and have two kids. When I see them, we always laugh about our youth," Joel said.

"Were you sorry it wasn't you that married her?" Sarah said.

"No, she and Marty shared something special. The three of us shared an apartment during college. Erica and I got together occasionally then, but she shared a room with Marty. Besides that, I was struggling with my sexuality at the time," Joel said.

"Did you think you were gay?" Laura said.

"I didn't know what I was. It was clear I liked girls and I absolutely enjoyed being with Erica and other girls. I also felt an attraction to guys. I didn't do anything about it except when Marty, Erica, and I all fooled around together." Joel finally blushed. "Erica loved to watch Marty and me. That was many years ago."

Leaning close, Laura whispered in Joel's ear. "Hmmm, that sounds sexy."

Joel looked at Laura, smiled, and shrugged his shoulders.

"Are you going to tell about your first time, Laura?" Ellen said.

"I guess so. I started fooling around with boys when I was fifteen. Well, fourteen if you count the times my brother and I kissed and fooled around. We didn't do anything more than some touching.

"I met Molly's father and started dating him. He talked me into sucking him on our third date." Laura laughed. "It was horrible! It made me sick when he pushed too hard and I threw up in his lap. He kept after me to do it so I did. After a few tries, I was able to give him what he wanted.

"When I turned sixteen, he talked me into going all the way. It was the night of my birthday. A month later, I found out I was pregnant. The asshole ran off and joined the service, leaving me with Molly.

"After Molly was born, I dated, but none of the boys wanted a steady girlfriend with a daughter. My love life, or should I say sex life, was one short relationship after another. The boys knew I wasn't virgin and thought I was a sure thing. The sad part was that I was a sure thing.

"I liked sex and it was okay with me that the boys only wanted me for one thing. Mom put me on the pill after Molly was born and I made most of the boys wear rubbers. The last thing I wanted was another baby or to catch something.

"I worked in my parents' bakery until Dad took ill and they sold it. I worked in a few other bakeries, but I never fit in. They did things differently and I wouldn't conform. My parents taught me that there are no shortcuts. Dad told me that if you can't produce the best, don't produce anything. He always said the success of his business was the quality of his products.

"After that, I started cleaning houses to pay the bills. I got the job taking care of Mrs. Caldwell and stayed there. That's where I met Joel," Laura said.

It was silent for a few moments. Don glanced at Laura and smiled. "It's a good thing we don't have to live in the past, isn't it, Laura? We get to learn and move on," Don said.

"Yeah, or move forward," Sarah said. "I learned about love after being married for almost eighteen years. I also learned about true friendship. Sometimes you need someone to care for you until you learn to care about yourself. Thankfully, Ellen rescued me from myself."

"How is it that everyone can become such great friends in so short a time? I have only known you folks for a few weeks and I'm telling you things I've never told anyone," Sarah said.

"That's easy," Joel said. "No one is judgmental. No one measures you by what you've done. As Don said before, the past is the past. The only thing we can do about our pasts is learn from them. We get to make changes in our lives and become better people."

"I still feel I'm making stupid mistakes. I didn't want to introduce you to Molly because I was afraid it would hurt her. As it turns out, she is happy about our relationship," Laura said.

"My guess is you didn't ask Molly about it before, Laura. If you were anything like me, you talked to Molly, not with her. I know I tried to think for my kids. You can't imagine how shocked I was when I learned Kathy and Brad were having sex with each other. Then Ellen told me it was no big deal," Sarah said.

"It wasn't, was it?" Ellen said.

"No, it really wasn't a big deal. I had to get over the guilt though. For some reason, I thought they did it because of my failures. I couldn't consider that it may have been because they're two horny teenagers. The only thing that I could think of was Kathy turning out like me when I was her age," Sarah said.

"That wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen to her," Ellen said with a chuckle.

"What were you like?" Sarah said.

"I was a cocksucker, that's the only to describe it. I would take on anyone that wanted their dick sucked," Sarah said.

Don laughed, got up and stood in front of Sarah. "I love having my cock sucked!"

Harry got up and stood behind Don. Marc and Jack Waters also got in line. The men laughed.

Sarah grinned. She slid off the couch, kneeling on the floor. Reaching up, she began undoing Don's shorts. "So, you guys think you're calling my bluff, do you?" Sarah dropped Don's shorts and then pulled down his boxers. Giggling, she took his flaccid penis in her hand. Sarah put Don's member in her mouth, engulfing the entire length. She moaned and sucked on Don until his penis became fully erect.

When Sarah backed off Don's very large penis, Laura gasped. She knew Sarah had Don's member deep in her throat. While Sarah bobbed her head on Don, the other men started undressing. She glanced at the men and felt her stomach quiver. It seemed that her dream of doing a group of men again was about to come true.

"Aren't you going to get in line?" Laura asked Joel. She chuckled and kissed his cheek. "It's okay if you want to."

Joel grinned, got up and stepped behind Jack Waters. He removed his shorts and tossed them aside. Ellen moved over to where Laura sat and joined her. The two women watched Sarah and laughed.

"Do you think we should give her a hand?" Laura laughed and said, "Or a mouth?"

"We could, but we could also do this." Ellen took Laura's face between her hands and kissed the surprised woman.

Laura froze for a moment, but then she relaxed and began enjoying the feeling of another woman's tender kiss. When Ellen touched Laura's lips with her tongue, Laura opened her mouth. She felt like electricity was flowing from her lips to her vagina. Ellen flicked her tongue against Laura's and moved her hands on Laura's back.

"Mmmm," Laura moaned into Ellen's mouth when she felt a hand on her breast.

Ellen broke the kiss, pulled back, and looked into Laura's eyes. She gripped the hem of Laura's top and began to lift it. Smiling, Laura raised her arms. Ellen removed the top and then she unfastened Laura's bra. Leaning down, Ellen kissed each mound. She took a nipple in her mouth, sucking it firmly. Laura put her hands on Ellen's head and pulled her tighter.

Laura began to fondle Ellen's breasts. She removed Ellen's top and bra, pulling Ellen back to her breast when the woman was topless. Ellen suckled Laura for a moment before moving up to kiss her lips. The two women pressed their breasts together and moaned into each other's mouths.

"I want to kiss your pussy," Ellen said.

"Hmmm, I want you to," Laura said.

Ellen and Laura quickly removed the rest of their clothing. Ellen pushed Laura on her back, opened her legs, and began licking Laura's vulva. Any thoughts of having sex with another women being bad left Laura's mind. The feeling of Ellen's tongue against her sex brought on feelings Laura didn't know existed. Ellen's skill and tenderness felt much different from any other time Laura experienced oral sex.

Laura's first orgasm from a woman came quickly. She twisted and turned on her back as Ellen's tongue scraped across her rigid clitoris. Laura pinched her own nipples and let out a series of staccato yeses. Ellen continued until Laura's body stopped shuddering. She moved up, kissing Laura's body, until their lips met. Laura grabbed Ellen's head and forced her tongue into her mouth. The taste of her vagina caused Laura to have another mild climax.

"Oh my God! That was incredible!" Laura panted in Ellen's ear.

"Mmmm, yes it was," Ellen said.

"Now it's your turn. You'll have to help me, I've never done it before," Laura said.

"I have a better idea." Ellen pointed at Sarah. She still had Don's penis in her mouth. "Follow me, Laura."

Ellen and Laura dropped to the floor near Sarah. Ellen started removing Sarah's shorts. Laura grinned and tugged at Sarah's top. Sarah stopped sucking on Don long enough to let Laura and Ellen strip her. The moment she was nude, Sarah returned her mouth to Don.

"Lie on your back and slide under Sarah. You can give her a little pleasure while she takes care of the men," Ellen said. "As far as what to do; just do what you like."

Laura laughed as she got on her back and wiggled her head between Sarah legs. Sarah parted her knees to give Laura access. Looking up, Laura watched Don's penis sliding in and out of Sarah's mouth. Each time Don's testicles hit Sarah's chin, Laura wondered how she could do it. Closing her eyes, Laura extended her tongue. Sarah flinched when Laura licked the length of her vulva. Sarah's tangy juices coated Laura's tongue and ran down her throat.

Marge and Anne stripped and began kissing each other. Ellen watched them for a moment before leaning close to Laura's head. "Shove your tongue up her pussy, Laura. Fuck her with your tongue."

Laura did what Ellen said. She also reached up to fondle Sarah's breasts. Opening her eyes, Laura saw Don gripping Sarah's head and pumping his member in and out of her mouth. From the angle she had, Laura could see Sarah's throat contracting. She heard Don moan and knew he was coming in Sarah's mouth. A moment later, Don pulled away and Harry's member replaced Don's penis in Sarah's mouth. Sarah didn't miss a beat. She took him in until her nose pressed against Harry's body.

Sarah came at the same time as Harry. She rocked her hips, rubbing her sex against Laura's face, while she swallowed Harry's semen and moaning around his penis. Sarah let Harry's member slip out of her mouth. She lifted her crotch off Laura's face, scooted back and leaned down.

"Thanks, and welcome to the club," Sarah said. She leaned over and kissed Laura.

Laura giggled and said, "I think I'm going to love being a member."

Sarah knelt and took Marc's penis in her mouth. She bobbed her head, taking him deep. Laura sat up and grinned at Ellen. Moving on her knees, Laura went to Ellen. She hugged her and then pushed Ellen down on her back. Starting at her neck, Laura kissed Ellen's body. Ellen planted her feet on the floor so she could raise her crotch to Laura's hungry mouth.

"Am I doing it right?" Laura asked after a few moments.

"Oh yeah, you're doing great. I like to have my pussy licked from my butt to my clit," Ellen said.

Laura lowered her head again. She stuck out her tongue, pressing it against Ellen's tight anus. Ellen jerked and let out a moan. Flicking her tongue against Ellen, Laura moved from Ellen's anus to her clit. She sucked the nub for a moment and then worked her way back. Ellen moaned and rocked her hips.

Feeling someone's hand between her legs, Laura removed her mouth from Ellen's sex and glanced back. Don knelt behind her, stroking her vulva. When he gripped his penis and stroked Laura's labia, she smiled and nodded. Laura returned her mouth to Ellen's crotch. Don worked the end of his member into Laura's vagina. Moving slowly, Don inserted his penis into Laura.

Laura took a deep breath as Don sank deeper and deeper. She felt her vagina stretch to accept his large phallus. When Don bumped against her cervix, Laura let out a grunt. Ellen put her hands on Laura's head. She lifted Laura's face and smiled at her.

"Big, isn't he?" Ellen said.

Laura nodded. Ellen grinned and guided Laura back to her crotch.

"You're going to make me come," Ellen said as she ran her fingers through Laura's red tresses.

"Mmmm," Laura replied as she moaned into Ellen's vulva.

A few minutes later, Ellen let out a long moan. She rocked her hips against Laura's tongue. Don held Laura's hips and slowly moved his penis in and out of her vagina. Ellen reached the peak of her climax. Laura continued to lick the edges of Ellen's engorged labia and moan.

"That was good, Laura," Ellen said as she lifted Laura's head. "My pussy needs a rest for a few minutes."

Laura nodded. She rested her head on Ellen's stomach and watched Sarah suck on Joel's penis. Joel's eyes caught Laura's and they smiled at each other. Don started moving faster. He moved a hand to one of Laura's swaying breasts and fondled her.

While Don continued to screw Laura, Harry came over. He knelt behind Ellen's head and guided his penis into her mouth. Ellen gripped Harry's shaft as her tongue swiped his glans. Harry removed his penis from Ellen and offered it to Laura. She lifted her head and let Harry's penis enter her mouth.

Laura wondered what it would be like to be with two men and now she was finding out. In her fantasy, she liked it. In real life, she loved it. Harry and Don developed a timed rhythm. Don pushed into her vagina and Harry pulled back from Laura's mouth. The two men reversed the motion.

Don let out a groan. He gripped Laura's hips, pushed deep inside her and came. She could feel his penis throbbing in her contracting vagina. Laura's climax started deep in her belly. Her body quivered and her vagina gripped Don's penis. Just when she didn't think she could stand anymore, Harry's member began to squirt semen in her mouth. Laura felt as if she was going to pass out. The dual sensation sent her into a sexual overload.

Suddenly, both her mouth and vagina were empty. She rolled onto her side, pulling her legs up against her chest. Moaning softly, Laura savored the afterglow of her first threesome. Not only did she enjoy a man and a woman, she also enjoyed two men.

Joel finished in Sarah's mouth. He leaned down and kissed her before moving to Laura. Rolling Laura on her back, he spread her legs and began cleaning her tender vagina. Laura lifted her head and smiled.

Marge sat on Jack Water's lap on one of the couches. With her back to Jack's chest, Marge lowered herself on his penis. He reached around Marge's body and played with her breasts. Anne knelt on the floor with her head between Jack's legs. She licked and mouthed his testicles as well as Marge's clit. Behind Anne, Harry knelt and pushed his penis into her.

By the time the group decided to go to bed, they had enjoyed many of the possible combinations. The women and the men felt spent and sated. Jack and Sarah Waters gathered their clothes. They said goodnight and went to their room.

"Well, was it as good as you remember?" Jack asked his wife as they stretched out in bed.

"Honey, it was much better than before. There are a few reasons too. For one, you were there and I got to suck your cock instead of having you clean me up and taking me home. Another reason is it was with friends, not a bunch of boys that couldn't care less about me. In addition, it didn't make me feel the way I thought it might. I was afraid it would make me want to go out and be bad again," Sarah said.

Jack kissed Sarah. "I'm glad you enjoyed it, Baby. I know all the guys did."

"You seemed to get your fair share of pussy too," Sarah said.

"I'd like to get some of my favorite snatch if you're not too worn out," Jack replied with a grin.

"Baby, if you can get it up, you can put it in," Sarah said.

Jack moved up so his penis was even with Sarah's head. She sucked him in, using her mouth to make Jack's penis rigid. He slid between her legs and pushed his member into her vagina. Sarah hooked her legs over Jack's thighs and began to meet his slow steady thrusts.

"Joel, is everything okay?" Laura said. She put her arms around Joel and looked up into his eyes.

"Everything is fine, Sweetheart. I had a great time tonight. Are you okay with what we did?" Joel said.

Nodding her head, Laura giggled and said, "Yes, I'm fine too. I like eating pussy!"

Joel chuckled. "I could see that you do. Was it what you expected?"

"Not at all, it was much better than I thought it would be. Ellen taught me a few things and I learned a few things on my own."

"Laura, I don't know how you feel about it, but I'm more than willing to do something like that again."

"Me too, Lover, me too! Is there anything you didn't like?" Laura said.

Joel shook his head.

"Was it as good as when you were in college?"

"Yes, it was just as good—maybe even better," Joel said.

"Did you miss fooling around with another guy?"

"Who says I didn't? Marc's cock found its way into my mouth tonight. I didn't get to finish him, but I did have a little fun."

"Shit! I would have loved to see that," Laura said. "Where was I?"

"I think Sarah was sitting on your face at the time. Don't worry; I think you'll get a chance to watch. Marc says all the guys are willing to fool around with each other."

"Good. How was that blowjob Sarah gave you? From what I saw, she is very talented," Laura said with a chuckle.

"It was probably one of the best I'd ever had. It wasn't any better than you though."

Laura chucked and smacked Joel's chest. "Don't give me that. I could see she is much better at sucking cock than me. It's okay though. I know you love me for more than my cock sucking skills. I plan to have her teach me how to do that deep throat thing."

"You know that doesn't matter to me, don't you?" Joel said.

"Yes, but it matters to me. I want to learn how to do that someday." Laura kissed Joel and snuggled up against him. "Goodnight, Sweetheart. I love you."

"I love you too, Laura. When are you going to marry me?"

Laura chuckled and wiggled against Joel. She sighed and said, "Soon, Darling, very soon."

Marc, Don, Anne, and Marge climbed into the king size bed they were planning to share. Don pulled Anne close and said, "I hope you two don't mind if I snuggle with my sister."

"No, I plan to cuddle with mine," Marc said.

Anne rolled on her back, pulling Don on top of her. "Do you have the strength to fuck your sister?" Anne said.

Don kissed Anne and said, "I don't know. If I can get it up I will."

Try as he might, Don couldn't revive his penis. Anne kissed him and said, "You owe me and I plan to collect in the morning."

"Don't feel bad, your hubby has a limp dick too," Marge said. "I can remember when these two could go all night."

"I feel as if I did," Marc said.

The two couples said goodnight. They snuggled with their siblings and drifted asleep. It was close to two in the morning and they wanted to get up to see the kids off at five thirty.

Chapter 36


Tom woke up before the alarm went off. The excitement of the tournament kept him from sleeping well. He shook Kim. Leaning over, he kissed her as her eyes fluttered open.

"Time to get up, Honey," Tom said.

"Mmmm, okay. What time is it?" Kim said as she stretched her arm above her head.

"It's a quarter to five. I woke up before the alarm. I guess I'm kind of excited this morning," Tom said.

Kim pulled the covers off them. She looked down and giggled. "Not that excited," Kim said as she reached for Tom's penis. "Maybe I should help you take the edge off."

"That would be nice, but I don't think we have time. Let's take a shower and get dressed," Tom said.

"Wow, you must be geeked about fishing. You don't turn down a blowjob very often," Kim said with a giggle.

While Tom used the head, Kim went to wake the others. Even with the alarm clocks set, the teens agreed that the first one up would wake the others. Kim went from stateroom to stateroom waking up her teammates. When she woke Eddie, Kathy, and Molly, she and Molly shared a smile and a giggle.

Kim joined Tom in the shower. They washed quickly and then went to dress. Kim and Tom put on their khaki uniforms. She went back to the staterooms to make sure the others were wearing the same outfits.

The teens gathered in the galley. They decided on cereal and juice for breakfast. Jenny put on a pot of coffee. At five-thirty, Randy and Fran came aboard. They ate with the teens and talked about what they planned for the day. A few moments later, Kristin called for Jenny. Jenny went out and invited Kristin aboard.

"We have coffee, juice, and cereal," Eddie told Kristin as she walked toward the galley.

"I'll have coffee please. My husband and I had breakfast this morning," Kristin said.

Molly poured a cup of coffee for Kristin. She asked if anyone else wanted some and filled cups for those that said they did. When she handed Tom his coffee, Molly giggled.

Brad went to the bridge and started the engines. He turned on the electronics and reviewed the checklist to make sure he didn't forget anything. Once the engines warmed, Sally, Jack, and Eddie went out to release the boat.

The parents walked up to the boat and wished the team good luck. They told their kids they would see them at the weigh in later in the afternoon. The teens waved to their parents as the boat began to move.

Brad pulled out of the slip. He maneuvered the boat to the outlet and into the ocean. There were several other boats ahead of him and a few behind the Lady Guinevere. Eddie came up to the bridge and told Brad to hold back so they could see where the other boats headed.

"It looks like most of them are going out to the shelf," Eddie said. "I think we should go to the place we caught the marlin. You know, fish over what we think is a wreck."

Brad headed the boat toward the south side of the island. Eddie went out on the sundeck and glanced down at the rest of the team in the cockpit. Jenny and Kathy had begun showing the other's how to mark the leaders on the pitch rods.

"You have to make sure the mark is no more than thirty-six inches from the hook. I usually mark them at thirty-two inches with a red marker and thirty-six inches with a black marker to make sure. Make the marks an inch long," Jenny said.

Once the leaders on the pitch rods were marked, they showed them to Kristin.

"That's a good idea. I've never seen anyone make two marks on a leader," Kristin said.

The teens prepared the rods. They attached the bright hook less lures to the teaser rods and rigged ballyhoo to the pitch rods.

"Why don't we just leave the teasers on the rods when we go in? That would make it easier," Kim said.

"We don't want the other teams to walk by and see what we plan to run," Kathy said.

"Oh, that makes sense," Kim said.

Once they were out of sight of the other boats, Brad speed up. He pulled up the waypoint for the place they wanted to fish first. Brad turned on the cockpit cameras and the recorder. He checked the monitors to make sure everything was operating properly.

On the pier, the parents began walking back to their rooms. Sarah came up between Joel and Laura. She hooked her arms in theirs and chuckled. "When you get Joel in the shower later, shave his hairy balls. I was spitting pubes after I blew him last night," Sarah said.

"I see all the other men shave their nuts. Is that why?" Joel said.

"That's part of it. We love clean shaven men," Sarah said with a chuckle.

"Don't worry, he'll be a bare as a baby's ass when I finish with him," Laura said. She laughed and added, "Maybe I'll be that way too."

Marge heard Laura and turned around. She walked backwards and said, "I'll shave you if Joel doesn't want to."

"I think I can handle it, Marge," Joel said.

The adults all laughed at the exchange. They went back to their rooms and back to bed. The group planned to spend time on the beach during the afternoon while their kids fished.

Brad announced that they were approaching the first waypoint over the intercom. Jack scrambled up the ladder to the tuna tower. He turned on the electronics and then told Brad he was ready to take over. Jenny stayed in the cockpit and sent Kathy up to watch for fish.

Jack slowed the boat to trolling speed. Brad went down to the cockpit to help set the lines. Jenny began shouting out instructions to the other girls and within minutes, the teasers were out. Kim and Molly lowered the port rigger while Sally and Jenny took care of the starboard side. Eddie, Brad, and Tom stood back and watched the girls work.

"I'm impressed," Kristin said. "The girls set up this boat as well as anyone I've ever seen do it."

"We all practice together. Everyone can do any of the jobs necessary to fish competitively. Our team wants to do well," Brad said. "Jenny doesn't have to give us instructions, but it helps make sure we don't get in each other's way."

"It's refreshing to see men that don't act all macho. I've been on boats with female members of the team, but they are treated as if they don't know what to do," Kristin said.

Fran moved closer to where Kristin and the boys sat on the mezzanine seat. She pointed her camera at the transom and the girls that stood ready. Randy stood up on the sundeck so he could capture the action from above the cockpit.

"There's a fish following the starboard teaser," Kathy shouted down to the crew.

Jenny grabbed a pitch rod. She handed it to Molly and said, "You're up, girl. Catch that fish for us."

Molly looked shell shocked for a moment. Tom noticed that Molly was unsure and went over to her. "You can do it, Molly," Tom said.

Taking the rod from Jenny, Molly flipped the bait into the water. She free-spooled the reel while listening to Kathy's voice over the intercom. When Kathy said the fish took the bait, Molly flipped the lever and headed for the fighting chair.

Molly sat in the fighting chair. She attached the straps to the reel and waited for the line to go tight. When the rod jerked and bent toward the stern, Molly began to fight the fish.

Reeling down, then, using her legs, Molly pulled back on the fish. The fish pulled line off against the drag. Molly kept up the fight while the fish ran.

"That's the way, keep pressure on it," Jenny said. "The drag will keep the fish from breaking the line. Use your legs and back, not your arms."

The fish came up for the first of a series of acrobatic jumps. It danced on its tail and then porpoised across the water. Molly cranked on the reel to keep the fish from making the line slack.

Jack steered the boat toward the fish in an attempt to cut it off. He worked the throttles carefully and kept his eyes on the fish.

"It's a marlin. I think it's a white marlin. The fish looks like about a hundred pounds," Kathy shouted into the intercom.

The fight lasted thirty minutes. When Molly brought it close to the transom, Jenny used a gloved hand to grab the leader. Jenny carefully wound the leader around her hand, making sure she could release the fish if it made a run. Kim stood next to Jenny with the tag stick in hand. Sally stood close with the line cutter.

Jenny managed to get the fish along the portside of the boat. She reached over the gunwale, grabbed the long bill and held on. Kim placed a tag in the fish while Kristin watched.

"Good tag," Kristin said.

"Sally, see if you can get the hook out," Jenny said.

Sally grabbed the hook removal tool. She leaned over the gunwale, grabbed the circle hook with the tool, and wrenched it out of the corner of the fish's mouth. Screeching, Sally held the hook up for Kristin to see. Jenny revived the white marlin and released it.

The girls gave each other high-fives and then they hugged. Kristin marked the fish on her clipboard and returned to her seat.

"Great job," Tom said as he began resetting the teasers.

Eddie congratulated Molly, as did the rest of the team. The guys reset the lines and prepared for the next fish.

"Oh my God, oh my God!" Molly chanted. "I can't believe I did it!" She looked at Fran and smiled. "Did you get that on tape?"

Fran nodded and said, "Yup, every minute. I think Randy did too."

Molly couldn't stop dancing. She felt excited by the fact they let her catch the first fish. Kathy and Jack shouted down, telling Molly that she did a great job. Jack used the intercom to tell the others he was making another pass. He made a wide turn and approached the waypoint from the north just as he did the first time.

"Look, there's another fish," Kathy said as she grabbed the microphone. "Fish on the port rigger!"

Tom pitched the bait to the fish. Kathy watched and told Tom when the fish ate the bait. He got in the chair to fight the fish. Once again, the team hooked a white marlin. This fish was about the same size as the first one. Tom fought the fish to the stern and then Brad grabbed the leader. A few moments later, the tagged fish swam free.

"It looks like we've located a school of young marlin," Eddie said to the rest team. "If we play our cards right, we can probably fish here all day."

As the morning progressed, the teens hooked additional fish, all of them marlins. The fish weren't huge, but that made it easier for them to tag and release the marlin. By lunchtime, the team had tagged five of the marlin.

Tom and Molly went into the cabin to make sandwiches. While they worked at the counter, Molly babbled about catching the first fish.

"I can't believe you guys let me catch that fish," Molly said.

"Why not, you're a part of out team," Tom said.

"I know, but what if I would have lost it? What if I broke the line?"

"You didn't, Molly," Tom said with a chuckle. "What the hell, those things can happen to any of us."

"This is the best time I've ever had. You guys are so nice to me," Molly said.

"That's because we want to play with your sexy ass," Tom said.

"You're a goofball, Tom."

Molly and Tom finished making the sandwiches. They took out a bowl of potato salad and placed it on the counter. When Molly bent over to get paper plates out of a cabinet, Tom playfully patted her butt.

Once the food was out on the counter, Tom and Molly went out to tell the others, including Kristin, Fran, and Randy. The fishing slowed down and it gave the teens a chance to eat. After lunch, the girls changed into shorts. The temperature had climbed to over eighty.

"What happened to the cold front you thought we were going to get?" Sally asked Eddie.

"I guess it passed us by. This has been a great day so far," Eddie said. "Brad, you and Sally should take over on the tower and give Jack and Kathy a break. I'll take over a bit later."

"Why are you two taping this tournament? I saw you at the meeting last night," Kristin said to Randy and Fran as they fixed their plates.

"We're making a pilot for ESPN. The network wants to make a show featuring the Lady Guinevere team," Fran said.

"That sounds interesting. Why did the network select these kids instead of a seasoned team?" Kristin said.

"I think it's for several reasons. As far as being seasoned, do you think the other teams are any better than this one?" Randy said. "Not only that, but the kids have an appeal that some of the other teams ESPN thought about don't have. They are coed, young, and very pleasant."

"That's very true. It's nice being on a boat where every other word isn't a cuss word. Do you think the pilot will be aired?" Kristin said.

"We hope so. It would really help our carriers if it does make it," Fran said.

"The team seems very well rounded. These kids are very smart, aren't they?" Kristin said.

"Yes they are. We've been with them for several days and it's refreshing to see teenagers that are willing to learn from each other," Randy said. He smiled, thinking about how much he was learning from the teens.

Kristin, Fran, and Randy heard someone yelling, "Fish." They went out to the cockpit to watch the action. Kim stood at the transom with a pitch rod in hand. Eddie cranked on one of the teaser rods, drawing the fish closer. When he told her to, Kim flipped the bait toward the fish.

"He ate it!" Sally screeched, not needing the intercom.

Kim asked for a stand up harness. She said that she wanted to fight the fish standing up because the other fish were small and she felt this one would be small too. Eddie helped Kim into the harness while she kept track of the running fish. Eddie's hand brushed against Kim's mons, causing her to giggle. She turned her head so she could keep an eye on the line and also talk to Eddie.

"I don't think we have time for that right now, Eddie," Kim said and then she giggled.

"Damn, I always wanted to fool around with a cute girl while she fought a fish," Eddie said. He finished adjusting the harness and stood next to Kim. "Don't forget to snap the clips on the reel."

Kim placed the butt of the rod in the gimbal. She held the rod with one hand and used the other to snap the clip on the right side of the reel. Switching hands, Kim fastened the left side.

When the fish came up and jumped, Kim pulled back and cranked the reel. She kept the line tight and let the fish wear itself out. Brad maneuvered the boat to shorten the distance. Thirty minutes later, Eddie grabbed the leader. He pulled the fish close so Jenny could put a tag in its back. With the fish tagged, Tom released it by removing the hook.

"That makes six marlin. All of them properly tagged and released," Kristin said. "I have to admit, I'm impressed. I'm also impressed by the fact the girls caught four of the six fish. Most of the teams I have observed have one or two anglers and the other members tend to the tagging and releasing."

"We do this for fun. We want everyone to have a chance to do everything—that's how we practice," Jack said.

"That's what Jenny told me. I think it's great. Maybe some of the men can learn from you kids," Kristin said. "I'm sorry; I don't mean to call you kids."

"Why not? That's what we are, isn't it?" Jenny said.

"You are to me. I'm old enough to be your mother," Kristin said with a chuckle. "I used to go out with my dad, but I stopped when I turned sixteen. I thought it wasn't cool. I wish I hadn't done that."

While Kristin talked with Jenny and Jack, Eddie, Molly, and Kim reset the teasers. At two o'clock, Sally told the cockpit there was a fish chasing the starboard outrigger teaser. Eddie grabbed one of the pitch rods and waited until the fish swam closer. He flung the bait at the fish and let the reel free spool. Kim reeled in the teaser and the fish took the bait.

Once the hook set in the fish, it made a jump. Eddie saw the size and made his way to the fighting chair. He fought fish larger in the past while standing up, but now they had a fighting chair. Eddie decided to use it.

"That looks like the largest one we've hooked today," Kathy said while standing behind Eddie.

"It looks big, that's for sure," Eddie said. He clipped the reel to the straps and settled in for the fight.

Eddie fought the fish for an hour. Jack grabbed the leader and began pulling the marlin close to the boat. Kim poked the tag into it and then stepped back. Tom couldn't control the fish by holding it by the bill so he cut the leader at the hook. Tom showed Kristin the leader so she could see it.

"Looks good, Tom. That makes seven fish. It's three o'clock, time to pull the lines," Kristin said.

Eddie sat and rested while the rest of the team tended to the rods. They cleared the lines while Eddie fought the fish. All they needed to do was bring in the outriggers and remove the teasers and baits. Brad headed for port while the others put the rods away.

Jack went to the bridge to take over from Brad. Sally came down from the tower and joined Jack at the helm. A few moments later, Brad and Jenny came in.

"I hope we place well today," Brad said. "We fished our butts off."

Sally giggled and grabbed Brad's bottom. "You still have a butt. A nice butt."

Brad laughed and gave Sally's butt a firm squeeze. "You have a nice butt too, Sally."

The four of them were still laughing when the rest of the team came into the covered bridge. They all felt good about the day, and congratulated one another.

Brad pulled up to the gas dock so they could top off the fuel tanks and have the holding tank pumped out. When the attendants finished, Brad moved the boat into the slip. With the boat secured, they went to the conference room for the day's weigh in.

Kristin took the score sheet to a table where the tournament organizers recorded the fish. A man took the sheet, looked it over, and then talked to Kristin for a moment. He went to a large board, which they kept turned away from the room, and began entering the catch.

The teens bought sodas and then sat at a table near the front of the room. They watched as the other observers took their score sheets up to the table. All of them squirmed in anticipation of what was going to happen.

Fran and Randy came over to the table. They chatted with the team for a moment before beginning to tape the activities.

"How did you kids do today?" Marlin Parker said.

Eddie glanced around and then said, "We did okay I guess. We'll have to wait and see what happens. Your teasers worked great today."

"That's good to hear. What colors did you run?" Mr. Parker said.

"We ran all twelve inch pink and green," Eddie replied.

"That's an odd size and color for sailfish, Eddie."

Smiling, Eddie said, "We didn't fish for sails today. But we did raise sails with those teasers when we were pre-fishing."

Marlin Parker told the teens he would see them later. He left to man the booth his company set up for the tournament.

The tournament committee continued to record the different fishing team's catches. The observers gathered around a couple of tables near the stage. The teens had trouble sitting still while they waited.

The teens' parents came into the room. They walked over to table to talk to their children. When Molly saw her mom, she jumped up. Molly hugged Laura as she babbled about the day's fishing.

"What did you do today, Mom?" Molly said.

Laura chuckled and said, "We went to a nude beach. I had a great time."

Molly giggled and hugged her mom. "Things have really changed for us, haven't they? I'm having so much fun with my new friends. Sometimes I feel as if it's all a dream."

"Honey, it isn't a dream. We have changed and for the better," Laura said. "I've been doing things I would have never dreamed of."

Thinking about Tom, Molly smiled and nodded her head. Laura stepped away. She went over to Joel while Molly took her seat.

Wally Tanner, the tournament director, took the stage. He called the room to order, asking everyone to quiet down.

"Okay, we have computed the results for today's fishing. I'm sure everyone is anxious so we get started. Of the twenty-six boats entered, twenty-four caught fish. One boat wasn't able to get out due to mechanical troubles. We all hope Papa's Toy will be ready to go tomorrow," Wally said.

Two men turned the standings board around. A cover prevented anyone from seeing the standings.

"In twenty-forth place is Stern Affair with one hundred points. Stern Affair tagged two sailfish. In twenty-third place is..."

Wally Tanner read off the standings. The two men that turned the board toward the crowd moved the cover to reveal each boat as Wally announced their place. When they reached fifth place, Wally announced that Hasty tagged six fish and earned six hundred points. They beat the sixth place team because they used circle hooks.

"Our second place boat has eight hundred points. Lazy Daze tagged and released six sailfish and one marlin. That makes today's leader Lady Guinevere. The Lady Guinevere team tagged and released seven marlin, all with circle hooks. Their point total is one thousand seven-hundred fifty points. Congratulations on a great catch," Wally said.

The teens tried, but they couldn't contain their enthusiasm. They all cheered and pumped their hands in the air. The rest of the crowd applauded the team. Once things settled down, Wally stepped back to the microphone.

"You wouldn't care to share where you fished today, would you?" Wally said.

The teens all said no at the same time. Everyone laughed at their response.

"I didn't think so, but I thought I'd ask. Okay folks, that's it for today. We have one more day of fishing and anyone can win. We have hotdogs and sodas available at the concession stand. The room will be open until eight tonight. Good luck and be safe," Wally said.

"Oh my God, we smoked them today," Tom said.

"Yeah, we did real well. We have to make sure we don't get too cocky though. Like Wally said, anyone can win this thing," Eddie said.

"We have over twice as many points as the second place team," Molly said.

"That's true, but I assure you the other teams will be targeting marlin tomorrow. If they get on them, any of the boats can catch up and even win. We have to stick to our plan," Brad said.

"What is your plan?" Jeff Lamar said as he walked up to the table with his brother Eric. "Great fishing today, congratulations."

"Thanks, Jeff," Jenny said.

"I didn't see you again today. Do you guys have a secret place?" Eric said.

"We got lucky, that's all, Eric," Eddie said.

"Yeah sure. You guys don't depend on luck. Anyone that's ever fished against you knows that," Jeff said.

"Thanks, Jeff, that's nice of you to say that," Kathy said.

"It sucks, but it's the truth. So, are you going back to your secret place tomorrow? Maybe we'll try to follow you," Eric said.

"Probably, we'll leave at six thirty if you want to try to keep up," Brad said.

Jeff and Eric laughed. "Naw, we're not going to do that. We have changed to circle hooks because of you though. We kept seeing you get the extra points and decided to give them a try. Once you get used to the hook-set, it's easy," Jeff said.

Jeff and Eric told the teens they would see them later and left. Eddie and Jack went to get sodas for the team, stopping to chat with a few of the other teams on the way. All of the teams they talked to wanted to know where they had located the marlin.

Eddie and Jack bought the sodas and returned to the table. The teens talked with their parents, telling them about each fish they caught. Don commented that they sounded like golfers recapping each hole they played.

"We're going to go to the pool for a little while," Marc said. "Do you kids want to meet us for dinner later?"

"Sure, that would be great, Dad," Sally said. "What time do you want us to meet you?"

"How about six? That way you can get to bed early," Marc replied.

The group agreed to meet at six for dinner. The parents said goodbye and left. A few minutes later, Nate came over to talk to the teens.

"You kids smoked them today," Nate said in his gravely voice.

"Yeah, I guess we did. We just used what we learned from you, Nate," Jenny said.

"You kids may have learned a few things from me, but I don't think that's why you're so successful. I really believe you have a sixth sense for locating fish. Some of the teams you beat today are made up of people that have been fishing for many years—before you kids were born," Nate said.

Jack, Tom, Kim, Sally, and Molly listened to Nate talking to the others. They knew Eddie and Jenny worked as mates on Nate's boat.

"What are you planning to do tomorrow?" Nate said.

"We haven't talked about it yet," Eddie said.

"You know that if you head out to where you caught the marlin today you'll have half the fleet following you," Nate said.

"I didn't really think of it, but you're probably right. What do you suggest?" Eddie said.

Nate grabbed a chair from the table next to them. Turning it around, he sat with his arms folded on the back. "If it were me, I'd head out to the shelf where everyone else fished today. You'll pick up sailfish, but with your point lead, it doesn't really matter. If you wanted to fish marlin, you could head out after the boats spread out."

"That sounds good to me. What do the rest of you think?" Eddie said as he glanced at the other members of the team.

"I think that's a great idea," Tom said. "I didn't realize there was so much strategy involved."

"There is if you want to win these tournaments. Many of the boats don't take the time to locate fish the way you kids did. They know there's fish on the shelf and they're happy to fish there. It's the easy way. They figure they can catch more fish than anyone else so they're happy," Nate said.

"Do you think they'll fish the shelf tomorrow too?" Molly said.

"Some of the teams will look for the marlin, but most of them won't, Hun. You kids caught them with their pants down and they will want to fish where they're comfortable. You have raised the bar. All of them know you kids will be out there fishing your asses off just like you did today. Don't rest on your lead," Nate said.

"I hope Kristin doesn't tell anyone where we fished," Kim said.

"She won't tell anyone. Not only is it against the rules, it's just plain wrong. Kristin is a good woman, I've known her and her husband for many years," Nate said.

"Do you really think the other boats will try to follow us?" Sally said.

"Hon, you can count on it. It isn't as if you can hide with that battlewagon. Your boat sticks out like a sore thumb. One of these days I'd like to fish on her," Nate said.

"You're welcome to fish with us anytime you want to, Nate. We can always use pointers," Jack said, and the rest of the teens quickly agreed.

Nate laughed and said, "Hell, I was planning on picking up a few tips from you. You kids take care. I'll talk to you later."

Nate left the table. Jack mentioned how helpful Nate was and that he liked talking to him.

"He's a great guy and a great fisherman," Jenny said. "He was so patient with Eddie and me when we worked for him."

"I would really like a chance to fish with him someday," Jack said.

"I'm sure you'll get the opportunity once you guys move down here," Kathy said.

"It won't be too soon for me," Kim said. "Going back to Michigan is going to suck!"

"It won't be too bad, Kim. We get out of school at the end of May. That's only two months from now," Tom said.

"I know, but I can't wait," Kim said and then she giggled.

"We should head back to the boat. We have to wash her down," Brad said.

The team agreed. They got up to say goodbye to a few of the people they knew before heading to the boat. Randy and Fran decided to go back with them.

Tom, Jack, Eddie, and Brad started washing down the boat. The girls went into the cabin to vacuum and dust. Fran and Randy offered to help, but Kathy told them that it was covered. A half hour later, the teens relaxed in the saloon.

"Can I show you guys some of the tape we recorded today?" Randy said.

"Sure, what do you need?" Kathy said.

"Just a television. I can connect the camcorder and play the tape," Randy said.

Kim jumped up and pushed the button that raised the large flat screen television. Randy opened the cabinet and found the connectors he needed. He hooked up the camcorder and turned it on.

"This is tape from the meeting this afternoon. We interviewed some of the other teams," Fran said.

The tape started. It showed one of the teams sitting at a table. They could hear Fran asking about the tournament. One of the men began telling Fran about their day and the fish they caught. Then Fran asked how the man felt about the first place boat.

"I'd like to know where they fished, that's for sure. I think it's great that we have young people getting involved in the sport. That team is very young to have a boat that size, but I guess that if their parents can afford it, it's okay. They seem to know what they're doing," the man said.

"Does that mean you don't have any animosities about fishing against them?" Fran said.

"None at all. As I said, I think it's great. Our sport needs fresh blood." The man laughed and went on. "I hope those kids win tomorrow. I don't see how they can't win. They have over twice as many points as any of the other teams. Even if we locate marlin, they will be tough to beat."

"It doesn't bother you that they may win all that money?" Fran asked the man.

The man laughed aloud. "We don't do this for the money. You have a bunch of guys fishing out of million dollar boats and spending thousands for fuel and other things. We do this because we enjoy it and because we can. If you interview a few of the teams, I think you find there is an owner that can afford it and a group of his friends. No one wants to fish alone."

"Does that mean you don't take the fishing seriously?"

"We take it very seriously. We're competitive in most things we do. In our businesses, we strive to win. The same holds true for fishing, golf, tennis, or any other sport we engage in. If I had to guess, those kids aren't doing this for the money either. If they are, they have a rude awakening. I also think it's great they have sponsors to help them. As I said, they're the future of the sport. Not bill fishing, but tournament fishing. This sport will never come close to the success the bass fishermen enjoy, but as long as we have a few teams, we can have our tournaments.

"I hope getting exposure will draw some outside prize money. Most of the money they give out is from the entry fees the teams pay. As I see it, this sport will always be for those that can afford it. No one will make a living at it," the man said.

"How many of these tournaments do you fish each year?" Fran asked.

"I don't know. We fish quite a few. Our team, as well as many of the other teams, will fish in six to ten tournaments a year. We fish from Florida to Cabo San Lucas and ports in-between. I love the travel as much as the fishing."

"Doesn't that take a lot of time away from your business?" Fran asked.

"Not really. I have the boat taken to the ports by a captain and then fly to the tournament. That or we charter a boat. It all depends on how much time I have and where the tournaments are held."

"Thank you for your time. Just so you know, we are doing a feature about the Lady Guinevere team for ESPN. I would like your permission to use this interview," Fran said.

"You have my permission. Just give me the forms and I'll sign them," the man said.

Randy turned off the camcorder. He sat down next to Fran and said, "Well, what do you think? We interviewed a few other captains and they all said basically the same things."

"I think it's cool. Are you going to use the interviews in the pilot?" Jack said.

"We may use bits and pieces of the interviews. If we include everything, it would make a very long show. Randy and I have talked about saving parts for a second show," Fran said.

"I think that guy is wrong about not being able to make a living fishing," Sally said.

"Why do you say that, Sally?" Brad said.

"It seems to me that if you put the proper marketing plan as well as a good business plan, you could make a living. Maybe not by winning tournaments, but there are other ways.

"If you think about it, television shows aren't for entertainment, they're to sell advertising. The more viewers you get, the more you can charge for advertising time. I agree that the shows on television have to be good, but that's only because advertisers want people to watch them.

"You've all seen some of the crap they have on television. Take game shows for instance. They give away stuff that is made by their advertisers. They also give away money, but it's all about minutes of exposure. If they have to pay twenty thousand dollars for a thirty-second commercial, they get the same exposure by sponsoring a show," Sally said.

Jack beamed as he listened to Sally. The others sat slack-jawed, not knowing what to think. Sally looked at them and smiled.

"If we could put together a show that showed us fishing it would be cool. If we put together a show that included information about ecology, it would draw viewers interested in that subject. We could go fishing and take an expert that would talk about conservation or things like that.

"I think people will watch shows that they are interested in. By doing a through study of viewer demographics, we could come up with something," Sally said.

"Okay, who are you and what did you do with Sally?" Kathy said and then she giggled.

"I know you guys think I'm a ditzy chick, but I do read," Sally said with a big grin.

"Sally, I don't think you're a ditz, but you do surprise me sometimes," Kathy said. "Where did you learn that stuff?

"I read an article in one of my dad's golfing magazines. It talked about how they fund golf tournaments. I learned the sponsors calculate the number of minutes their name is displayed and mentioned, as well as the inches of print they get from a tournament. The article said they could sponsor a tournament with several million dollars in prize money for what they would pay in traditional advertising.

"After reading the article, I did some research on the internet. That's where I found out about advertising and television programming," Sally said.

"You're absolutely right, Sally. Networks base their programming on the amount of advertising they can sell. That's the reason the better shows air in primetime. It's the time they will draw the most viewers. Cartoon shows are aired when kids will be watching, but the advertising is targeted at the parents," Randy said.

"I can remember begging my mom for the latest Barbie dolls when I saw them on television," Jenny said.

"That is why we're doing this pilot, to try to sell it to ESPN. They have an outdoor series on the weekends that we hope the show will fit into," Fran said.

"Do you think a show about fishing and conservation would work with another network or in at a different time?" Tom asked.

"I really don't know. Fran and I just tape the action and do the interviews. The producers are the ones that will make the decision about the next step. If the pilot airs and is well received, there are other people that will take over," Randy said.

"I still think we could make it work. Even if it didn't, it would be fun trying," Sally said.

"Why don't we see how the pilot goes? If it gets aired, we can go from there," Fran said.

The group chatted about putting together a fishing show for another half hour. Jack got up, took Sally's hand and said, "We better get dressed so we're not late for dinner."

Randy and Fran told the teens they would see them later and left.

"What do you want me to wear tonight?" Sally asked Jack.

Jack smiled and said, "A dress or a short skirt." He leaned over to whisper in Sally's ear. "No panties tonight."

Sally giggled and hugged Jack tighter. "Okay, anything else you want me to do?"

"Not right now, Sweetie," Jack said.

Jack and Sally headed for their stateroom. The rest of the teens followed the couple below. They took showers and dressed for the evening.

"Which dress should I wear?" Sally asked Jack while holding two dresses.

"Wear that one." Jack pointed to the colorful halter sundress Sally held in her right hand.

Giggling, Sally hung the other dress in the locker and then pulled the one Jack wanted her to wear over her naked body. The dress cascaded down, the hem hitting her mid-thigh.

"I have to be careful in this one. If I move wrong, people will see my butt," Sally said while adjusting the dress.

"You have a cute ass, Sweetie."

"Thanks. Do you want other people to see my ass?" Sally asked. She moved close to Jack and put her arms around his waist.

"I don't want you to flaunt it, but if someone happens to see you it would be okay." Jack kissed Sally's forehead as he pulled the back of her dress up. He gripped her butt cheeks, pulling her closer. "I love you, Sweetie."

"I know. I love you too, Honey. Are we going to do something special tonight?"

"I haven't planned anything for tonight. We have to get to bed early so we'll be rested tomorrow. Did you have a good time today?"

"Yes, I had a wonderful time. I love fishing and being with our friends."

"Good, I want you to be happy. I also want you to make sure the others know you aren't wearing panties tonight," Jack said.

"How should I do that?" Sally asked while grinning.

"I'll leave it up to you."

"Does that mean our parents too?"

"No, you don't have to tell or show the adults. Just our friends."

Sally felt her body tingle at the thought of what Jack told her to do. She didn't know why, but she didn't care. If Jack wanted her to flash her ass, she was more than willing to do it for him.

Jack and Sally left the stateroom. They checked with the others to see if they were ready to go. The teens began coming out of their rooms. Sally headed for the stairs, pausing to wait for the rest of the group. As soon as everyone was ready to head out, Sally started up the stairs.

"Did you forget something?" Kim asked Sally.

"I don't think so," Sally said while looking over her shoulder.

"Um, I think you forgot your undies, Sally," Kim said and then she giggled.

Sally pulled her dress up, put her hands on her butt, and giggled. "Oh my, I think you're right, Kim."

Sally wiggled her bottom, dropped her dress and continued up the steps. The rest of the group laughed and followed Sally. They paused in the saloon when Jenny called Sally's name.

Reaching under her skirt, Jenny removed her panties. She twirled them around her finger and then gave them to Sally. "Here, you can wear mine," Jenny said.

"Thanks, but Jack told me not to wear panties tonight," Sally said.

Laughing, Jenny flung her panties toward the settee. "If you're going commando, so am I," Jenny said.

Kim shook her head, laughed, and then she removed her panties. Kathy also removed her underwear and tossed them aside. Everyone laughed and teased one another.

"I'll be right back," Molly said. She charged down the steps to the staterooms. A few moments later, she returned.

When Molly went below, she wore shorts. When she returned, Molly wore a short skirt. She giggled and showed everyone she was naked under her skirt.

"Nice ass," Tom said, causing Molly to blush.

Kim put her fists on her hips, looked at Tom and said, "Hey, what about my ass?"

"You have a great ass too. All of you girls have great asses," Tom replied. The girls flipped up their skirts and laughed.

Everyone laughed and kibitzed as they walked to the restaurant to meet their parents. The girls flirted with their skirts, but didn't completely expose themselves.

"What made you decide to go without panties?" Kathy asked Sally.

"Jack told me not to wear them," Sally replied.

Brad overheard what Kathy and Sally said. He chuckled and said, "Thanks, Jack!"

"No problem, Brad," Jack said.

Kathy put one arm around Eddie's waist and took Molly's hand with her free hand. She giggled and said," Do you like it when your girls go commando, Honey?"

"Hell yes, what's not to like?" Eddie said. He put his hand on Kathy's bottom and gave her a gentle squeeze.

The teens walked into the restaurant. Their parents were there, sitting at a large round table. Don waved the kids over and pointed at an empty table next to the one he and the other parents were sitting at.

After greeting their parents, the teens took seats around the table. Jack held Sally's arm, watching where everyone else planned to sit. He guided Sally to a chair next to Brad. Jack sat next to Sally with Kim on his other side. Tom sat between Kim and Molly. Next to Molly, Eddie sat between her and Kathy. Jenny sat between Brad and her brother.

The server came to the table and took the group's orders. The teens talked with their parents, telling them about the day of fishing. Jack put his hand under the table, resting it on Sally's leg. She wiggled and smiled at Jack. He slid his hand up Sally's leg, tickling her labia when he reached it. Sally clamped Jack's hand between her legs and turned to look at him. The two shared a smile before Jack removed his hand.

The group finished their meals. They moved their seats so the families could sit together and chat for a little while. Molly sat with her mom and Joel. She babbled nonstop about how much fun she was having on the trip.

Eddie and Jenny sat with Ellen and Harry. Jenny started to giggle and said, "You wouldn't believe what Sally said today. She started talking about how we could do a show about fishing. Sally talked about things I had no idea she knew about. She is very smart."

"No kidding. Sally knows about how advertising works and things like that," Eddie said.

"Why does that surprise you two?" Ellen said.

"I don't know. I guess I never figured Sally knew about those things," Jenny said.

"I guess it true that you can't judge a book by its cover, isn't it?" Harry said.

"That's an understatement, Dad. When Sally started talking it almost floored me. I didn't think she was stupid, but I didn't know she was as smart as she is. She said she was ditzy, but Sally said she did a lot of reading," Eddie said.

"Maybe you two should spend some time reading too," Ellen said. "It wouldn't hurt you two to learn about a few things other than fishing."

"I want to talk to Sally about her idea. She may be right about being able to make a show about fishing. What do you and Mom think about the idea?" Jenny said.

"I think you kids can do anything you put your minds to," Harry replied.

Jack Waters asked Kathy about how things were going with her relationship with Eddie and Molly. Kathy giggled and said, "Great, Dad. We're all getting along very well."

"No jealousy problems?" Sarah said.

"None so far, Mom. Eddie is very cool about it. I don't know how long it will last, but for now we're all enjoying it," Kathy said.

"Frankly, I think it's wonderful that you kids are all so close and friendly. Most kids your ages wouldn't do well with the relationships you all share," Sarah said.

"We all talk to each other, Mom. Knowing we can talk to you and Dad now helps too," Brad said.

Sarah chuckled and said, "You mean since I'm not acting like a bitch all the time, don't you?"

"You weren't a bitch, Mom," Brad said.

"Yes I was and I don't mind admitting it. My life is so much better since I woke up and realized how I was hurting you kids and Dad," Sarah said. "That's all in the past and I really don't want to revisit that part of my life. All I can do is thank you for not giving up on me and loving me when I couldn't love myself."

Brad, Kathy, and Jack Waters all nodded. They reaffirmed the fact they loved Sarah and, without saying it, let her know they didn't hold anything against her. Kathy and Brad were happy their mother changed and allowed them to be teenagers. Jack Waters felt grateful to have the wife he'd always dreamed of having.

Anne leaned close to Sally and said, "How are things going with you and Jack?" She kept her voice low so no one else could hear her.

Sally grinned as she nodded her head. "Really good, Mom."

Anne smiled at her young daughter. She thought back to her teen years and the fun and love she shared with her brother and Marc. Anne knew the odds of Sally and Jack staying together were stacked against them, but she also knew they would always share a special relationship.

"How about Tom?" Anne said.

"Tom and Kim are cool, Mom. I think they fell in love in spite of themselves. Kim is completely head over heals for Tom. I think he is for her too."

"How do the others fit in?" Anne said.

"Mom, we all get along great. There aren't any problems between any of us," Sally said. She wanted to talk to her mom about Jenny and Brad, but didn't think it was the right time.

Tom put his hand on Sally's shoulder. "Hey, what are you two whispering about?" he asked.

"I'm just telling Mom how well we all get along, Tom," Sally said.

The group decided to leave the restaurant and go outside. There was an impromptu party planned for the teams at one of the tiki bars near the pool. They went out to the large patio and milled around with the other fishing teams. Sally took hold of Brad's hand and led him to the area where others were dancing.

"Dance with me," Sally said as she put her arms around Brad's neck.

"I'm not very good at dancing," Brad said. He put his arms around Sally's waist and began to sway to the music.

"That's okay, I don't mind," Sally said with a giggle.

After a few moments of dancing, Sally said, "You're a good dancer, Brad."

"Thanks. I need practice before junior prom next month."

"Are you taking Jenny?" Sally asked with a giggle.

"Yeah, but I haven't asked her yet. I figure she knows," Brad replied.

Sally pulled her head off Brad's shoulder and looked into his eyes. "You better ask her before someone else does. Girls don't like it when their boyfriend assumes things." Sally grinned at Brad. "I better go dance with Eddie next. I'll bet he's as dense as you are about such things."

Brad laughed and nodded his head. "Yeah, I'm sure he is. Thanks for the tip, Sally."

"Boys! What would you do without us girls?" Sally said with a giggle.

Brad laughed and said, "Um, jack-off?"

Sally and Brad laughed. The song ended and they separated. Sally went over to Kim and told her about telling Brad to ask Jenny to the junior prom. She also told Kim she was going to talk to Eddie.

"I'll talk to Eddie. I want to dance with him," Kim said.

Kim found Eddie and asked him to dance. While they moved, Kim said, "I hear you guys have a dance coming up."

"Yeah, junior prom is next month," Eddie said.

"Have you asked your girlfriends to go?"

"They know we're going, Kim," Eddie said.

"Maybe, but you need to ask them," Kim said.

"Okay, I'll take your word for it. Thanks for letting me know."

Kim pushed her body against Eddie's. She felt his arms tighten around her, causing her to smile. They moved slowly, listening to the music. When the song ended, Eddie kissed Kim's forehead and then said, "Thanks for the dance."

Kim and Eddie headed toward the rest of the group. Eddie smiled at Kim and went over to where Kathy and Molly stood.

"Kathy, Molly, I would like to know if you two would go to junior prom with me?" Eddie said.

Molly grinned and nodded. Kathy said, "Yes, I'll go with you. Molly and I have been wondering when you were going to ask us."

"Um, to tell the truth, I wasn't planning to ask. I just thought you two knew. Kim told me I should ask anyway," Eddie said.

"Kim was right," Molly said with a giggle. "I didn't know you were planning to take me too."

"Why wouldn't I? After all, you're my girlfriend, aren't you?" Eddie said.

"Yeah, but I didn't think you'd want to take two girls to the junior prom. I would have understood if you didn't want to take me," Molly said.

"If he didn't ask you, I would have," Kathy said. "Just think of how the kids at school are going to react when they see us dancing together, Molly."

"I don't care how they react. If you want to dance with me, we'll dance. Besides, almost everyone knows the three of us are going together." Molly giggled. "Some of my other friends think I'm nuts, but I just tell them to mind their own business."

Eddie laughed and said, "Most of my friends think I'm lucky."

"You are lucky, Baby. How many boys have two hot chicks that love having sex with you?" Kathy said.

"I'm very lucky, but not because of sex. I'm lucky because I have two wonderful girls to love," Eddie said.

Molly and Kathy hugged and kissed Eddie. While they embraced, Tom came over and said, "Um, when you're finished, I'd like to ask Molly to dance."

Molly giggled and released Eddie. She took Tom's hand and walked to an open area. They held each other and began to dance.

"What was that all about?" Tom asked.

"Eddie just asked Kathy and me to junior prom." Molly giggled and then said, "Thanks to Kim."

"What did Kim have to do with it?" Tom said.

"She told Eddie he should ask us. He just thought we knew."

"Didn't you?"

"Well sort of. I mean I'm sure Kathy knew Eddie would take her, but I didn't know that he was taking me too. Besides, a girl likes to be asked," Molly said. "No one wants to be taken for granted. That's the way my ex boyfriend treated me. He just assumed I would have sex with him whenever he wanted it."

"Guys can be dumb sometimes," Tom said.

"You aren't that way."

"Not always, but I have made the mistake of assuming things before. My last girlfriend left me for another girl. I don't know if it was because she is lesbian or because I started taking her for granted. I do know I'll never do anything like that again though."

Molly snuggled against Tom. She lifted her head and said, "Thanks for talking to me the other night. You made me feel a lot better."

"Molly, you never have to feel like the odd man out, not when I'm around."

Molly choked back her tears. She hugged Tom tighter, thinking about how lucky she was to have good friends. Her memories of Len were no longer bothering her because of the love the others showed her. The song ended. Molly reluctantly released Tom and walked back to the group.

The DJ played a fast song. The five girls went out and began dancing. Tom, Jack, Brad, and Eddie watched the girls as their short skirts came very close to flipping up enough to expose them.

"They seem to be having a blast," Brad said.

"Yeah, they do look like they're having fun," Tom said.

"Brad and I owe Sally and Kim. They told us to ask the girls to the junior prom," Eddie said.

"I think it would have been a mistake if you didn't," Jack said.

"No shit! Kathy, Jenny, and Molly would have been pissed at us if we didn't ask them," Brad said.

"We should think about heading to the boat soon. I wouldn't want to oversleep tomorrow morning," Tom said.

"You're right Tom. It's almost eight already," Eddie said.

The girls finished dancing. They came over to the guys and agreed that it was time to leave when Jack mentioned it. The teens found their parents and said goodnight. Marge told the kids they would see them in the morning before they left to fish.

On the way down the pier, the girls walked in front of the boys. They flipped the backs of their skirts up, flashing their naked butts. The guys laughed and told the girls they had nice asses.

Back on the boat, the teens sat in the saloon for a few minutes. They went over their plan for the next morning. Kim and Tom sat on one of the settees with Eddie, Kathy, and Molly. Jack, Brad, and Jenny sat across from them. Sally sat on the floor with her back against Jack's legs. She bent her legs, wrapped her arms around them, and rested her chin on her knees.

Sally knew she was exposing herself to the group sitting on the settee across from her, but she didn't care. It wasn't something they hadn't seen before. Jack kicked off his boat shoes. He slipped his feet under Sally's bottom, flexing his toes against her firm buttocks. Sally wiggled against him.

"What time are we getting up?" Jack said.

"We should get up by five so we can eat before we leave. Kristin, Fran, and Randy should be here by six," Eddie replied.

The teens got up and began heading down to the staterooms. They all said goodnight to each other before going into their rooms. Kim and Molly stood in the passageway talking for a few moments before calling it a night.

"Thanks for letting me dance with Tom tonight," Molly said. "He's a good dancer."

Kim giggled and said, "You don't have to thank me, Molly. Tom wanted to dance with you and it doesn't bother me. We're all friends here and I know no one is trying to cause any trouble."

"It's really nice—you know, the way things are between all of us. I hated it when my ex-boyfriend got all jealous when a boy looked at me or said something to me. Len would make me feel like he owned me and I couldn't have any friends he didn't approve of."

"One of the things I love about Tom is the fact he doesn't get bent out of shape if I flirt with another boy." Kim giggled and smiled. "Or another girl for that matter."

"Eddie and Kathy are the same way. At first, it bothered me because I didn't realize they could love me and still let me be myself. Now, I know they love me and want me to be happy. The day Eddie and Kathy asked me to go with them was one of the best days in my life. Meeting you guys ranks right up there with that day."

"I think that it's going to be wonderful when we move down to Florida. We have friends in Michigan, but we're not as close to them as we are with you guys. Not anymore anyway."

"I guess that's how life goes, isn't it? I mean we meet new friends and have new experiences. The funny thing is how my mom has joined the group too. Before, I would have been pissed if Mom wanted to hang around with my boyfriend's parents. Now I want her to be there. We can talk and have fun together."

"I think it's cool that she accepts your relationship with Eddie and Kathy. I doubt most parents would understand. My parents would, but they're kind of different from most parents. Mom and Dad let Jack and me make our own decisions most of the time. My aunt and uncle are the same way with Tom and Sally. If you ask me, our parents learn from each other just like we do."

Molly nodded. "I guess I better get to bed. I'll see you in the morning, Kim."

Kim gave Molly a hug. "Okay, goodnight." Kim pulled up the back of Molly's skirt and grabbed her bottom. Giggling, she said, "Tom's right, you do have a nice ass!"

Molly hugged Kim tighter and laughed. She grabbed Kim's butt and said, "Your ass is nice too!"

The girls giggled for a moment. Kim kissed Molly briefly and then let her go. After saying goodnight again, they went to bed.

Chapter 37


Molly woke up first. She relaxed on her back between Eddie and Kathy. Rolling on her side, Molly kissed Eddie's cheek. She draped her arm over his side, stroking his chest. Eddie stirred, rolled on his back, and smiled at Molly.

"It's almost time to get up. I'm sorry I woke you up before the alarm went off," Molly said.

"That's okay, I don't mind." Eddie kissed Molly. "I don't mind at all."

Molly and Eddie snuggled. They kissed each other as they fully woke up. Molly reached behind her, placing her hand on Kathy's hip. A moment later, Kathy rolled toward Molly. Kathy hugged Molly from behind, kissing the back of her neck. They finally got out of bed so they could wake the others.

Molly headed straight for Tom and Kim's stateroom. She shook Kim's shoulder, waking her before Molly jumped on the bed. Kneeling, Molly told Kim to get up. Kim rubbed her eyes, stretched her arms over her head, and sat up. She ran her hand through Tom's hair and called his name.

"Wake up, Baby, we have company," Kim said with a giggle.

"Hmmm, who's here?" Tom said as he buried his face in his pillow.

"It's that sexy girl with the nice ass," Kim replied, causing Molly to giggle.

"Good morning, Molly," Tom said.

"How did you know it was me?" Molly said.

Tom rolled over, smiled, and said, "I just did, Molly. How are you today? Are you ready to go fishing?"

"Yeah, I am ready. I hope we do well today," Molly said.

"I have to pee. Let me up," Kim said.

Molly moved so Kim could get out of bed. Kim headed for the head, leaving Tom and Molly alone on the bed. They stared at each other for a moment before Tom sat up. He put his hand on Molly's cheek, stroking her lightly. Molly smiled, placing her hand on Tom's hand.

"You're naked," Tom said.

"So are you," Molly replied, her voice cracking.

"Yeah, but you're beautiful," Tom said.

Molly held her breath for a moment. She smiled, released the air from her lungs, and blushed. Tom stroked her cheek for a moment and then removed his hand. Molly felt her heart thumping in her chest. She jumped out of bed, told Tom she had to go, and scurried from the stateroom. Kim passed Molly stopped the passageway.

"What's wrong, Molly?" Kim said.

"Nothing's wrong," Molly replied.

"You look upset. Did Tom say or do something wrong?"

"Oh no, he didn't do anything wrong, Kim. It's just that..." Molly moved past Kim toward her stateroom.

"What did you do to Molly?" Kim asked Tom when she walked into the room.

"Nothing. Why do you ask?"

"Molly looked like she's upset. You must have done something," Kim said.

"Honey, I didn't do anything. We just sat here for a minute. I told her she was beautiful and she left," Tom said.

"Tom, Tom, Tom, you don't know anything about girls, do you? Molly is falling in love with you," Kim said.

"I'm not doing anything with her, Kim. I'm just being nice."

Kim giggled as she sat on the edge of the bed. She put her arm around Tom's waist and said, "Tom, being nice and giving a girl complements is the fastest way to her heart. You don't have to make out or have sex with a girl for her to love you. Be careful, you might wind up with another girlfriend."

"I don't want another girlfriend, I want you, Kim," Tom said.

"Sweetie, you already have me!" Kim said and then she kissed Tom.

Kim and Tom fell back on the bed. They wrapped their arms around each other and kissed tenderly. The alarm went off, causing them to jump. Laughing, they got up so they could shower and get dressed.

"We're wearing our green outfits today," Sally said after walking into the head where Tom and Kim showered.

Kim stuck her head out the shower stall door and said, "Okay, thanks, Sally."

Sally went to let Kathy, Molly, and Eddie know which outfit to wear. She found Molly in the stateroom, sitting on the bed.

"Hi, Molly. Would you tell Eddie and Kathy we're wearing our green outfits today?" Sally said.

Molly looked up and nodded.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you feel well?" Sally said.

"I feel fine, Sally. I'm just thinking, that's all," Molly said.

"Is there something you want to talk about?"

"I don't know, it's kind of silly," Molly replied.

Sally shrugged her shoulders. "Okay, but if you want to talk about it, I'll be here." Sally started to leave. She stopped, turned around, and giggled. "Where can I go?"

Molly laughed as she nodded her head. She sat for a moment and then got up to get ready. In the shower, Molly thought about what Tom said to her. She felt confused by her feelings. How could she feel as she did about Tom and still be so in love with Kathy and Eddie, she thought to herself.

The teens gathered in the galley. Randy, Fran, and Kristin showed up a little early. The group grabbed a quick breakfast while talking about the upcoming day. Brad went to the bridge to fire up the engines and electronics. Sally went up with him, asking Brad to let her go through the process with him. Brad watched as Sally brought the boat to life. She used the checklist, but Brad felt she could do it from memory.

"You're learning, Sally. That was great," Brad said.

"Thanks, did I forget anything?" Sally said.

"Nothing at all, you got it all correct," Brad said. "Let's go back down and finish our breakfast."

Just before six, the parents came aboard. They talked to their children, wishing them good luck. Anne told them they would see them at the weigh in later that day.

"Let's get this show on the road," Jenny said. "Jack, will you help me cast off please?"

Jack, Jenny, Molly, and Tom went outside to disconnect the power and water. They freed the lines and then stood in the cockpit while Eddie pulled out of the slip. Once the boat cleared the pilings, Molly went up the ladder to the bridge.

"Hi, Sweetie," Eddie said when he saw Molly.

Molly walked over to Eddie. She put her arms around him, resting her head against his back. "Eddie, I love you," Molly said.

Eddie removed one hand from the wheel. He rubbed Molly's arm and said, "I love you too."

Molly felt her heart throb. She couldn't understand how she could love Eddie so much and still have the feelings she felt for Tom. Molly wondered what was happening to her.

"Is something up," Eddie said.

Molly shrugged her shoulders and then moved so she stood next to Eddie.

"You know, I'm a very lucky guy. I have two beautiful girlfriends. Can you imagine how envious the other guys are going to be when they see me at the junior prom?" Eddie said.

Molly giggled as she nodded her head. "If Lenny is there, he'll be so pissed! I can't wait to see the look on his face. Especially when I dance with Kathy."

"If Lenny sees you and Kathy dancing, you should give her a big kiss," Eddie said.

"I will, you can count on it!" Molly said. She was starting to feel better now that Eddie was doting on her. No mater how she felt about Tom, her love for Eddie was much stronger.

"Molly, I need to put a microphone on you," Randy said as he came up the steps to the bridge. "I need to put one on you too, Eddie."

Molly moved away from Eddie. She pulled her shirt out of her shorts and held it up to her breasts. Randy clipped the transmitter to her waistband and routed the wire up. Molly pulled her shirt higher so Randy could get the small microphone in place. Finished with Molly, Randy told Eddie it was his turn.

Eddie asked Molly to take the wheel. Randy attached the microphone to Eddie's clothing and told him and Molly he would go down and do a sound check. Molly opened her shorts so she could tuck her shirttails back in.

"It looks like Nate was right. There's about a half dozen boats following us," Tom said to Brad and Jenny.

Brad, Jenny, Tom and Kim stood in the cockpit rigging the rods. Jack and Sally came out to help. Kathy went up to the enclosed flying bridge to be with Eddie and Molly.

"What are we going to do?" Kim said.

"We'll let them follow us. We're heading for the shelf to fish for sailfish this morning. We'll move away from the pack later," Brad said.

"We almost there," Eddie said over the intercom.

"Okay, we're ready," Brad replied as he spoke into the unit in the cockpit.

Tom turned on the electronics in the cockpit. He watched the fish finder and chart plotter, watching the waypoints come into range. When Eddie made a turn and slowed the boat, the teens in the cockpit went to work.

The lines went out quickly. They lowered the outriggers, deployed the teasers and adjusted the reels. Kim placed the pitch rods in holders on the back of the fighting chair so they were handy.

"Who wants to spot this morning? I'm heading up to the tuna tower," Tom said.

"I'll go with you," Sally said.

Tom and Sally climbed up to the tuna tower. Tom told Eddie he was taking over. Sally watched the teasers darting just below the surface behind the boat. Further back, other boats set up on the same track as the Lady Guinevere.

"Isn't that cheating," Sally said to her brother.

Tom chuckled and said, "No, I don't think so. They can fish wherever they want to."

A half hour later, Sally pushed the button on the intercom and said, "There's a fish following the port outrigger teaser."

Jenny grabbed a pitch rod. She fed the bait back toward the fish. Sally watched as the sailfish made a few passes at the bait. Shouting down, Sally told Jenny the fish kept missing the bait.

"Let the reel free spool, Jen," Eddie said. "Maybe that fish doesn't want to work for its meal."

Jenny flipped the lever on the reel. The line spooled off the real as the bait moved away from the boat. Sally shrieked and yelled down that the fish took the bait.

Pulling the lever back, Jenny waited for the fish to hook itself. The sailfish made a run to starboard, almost tangling in the teasers that were still out. Jack, Eddie, Molly, and Kathy grabbed the teaser rods and wound them in.

The sailfish made a few jumps. Eddie helped his sister put on a harness even though the fish wasn't very big. When Jenny brought the fish close to the transom, Jack grabbed the leader. Using gloved hands, Jack pulled the fish to the stern. Eddie gave Molly the tag pole, telling her to make sure she tagged the fish properly.

Kristin stood at the transom watching as Molly inserted the small plastic tag into the sailfish's back. Jack pulled the fish to the starboard side, grabbed the bill and held it while Kim used the removal tool to wrench the hook from the corner of the fish's mouth. Jack revived the fish while Kim showed Kristin the hook.

Randy managed to get the process on tape. He leaned over the transom while Fran held him by his belt. Kristin recorded the catch on her clipboard.

With the first fish tagged and released, the teens fell into their rhythm. They reset the teasers and then pitched a baitfish to the next sail. Molly fought the sailfish to the stern. Jenny and Kathy tagged it and then removed the hook. By ten o'clock, the teens tagged and released five sailfish.

"We should head to our spot for marlin," Eddie said. "It looks like we've lost most of the followers."

A quick impromptu vote settled it. The teens would make the run to the area they caught the marlin in the day before. Jenny used the intercom to tell Tom the plan. The rest of the team cleared the lines and made the boat ready for the run. Brad went to the enclosed bridge and took over the boat. Tom and Sally came down and joined Brad.

"Why are you moving? You were doing well where we were," Fran said to Eddie.

"We want to fish for marlin for the rest of the day. I think we have enough points to win," Eddie replied.

"Couldn't you win if you stayed where we were?" Fran asked.

"Sure, but marlin are more fun to catch. They fight harder than sailfish," Eddie said. "Besides, you have to catch four sailfish to earn the same points as one marlin."

"Who wants to give me a hand making lunch?" Kim said.

"I'll help you, Kim," Molly said.

"So will I," Kathy said as she followed Kim and Molly into the galley.

The three girls began making sandwiches. Kim and Molly stood next to each other at the counter while Kathy retrieved things from the refrigerator and cabinets.

"Are you feeling better, Molly?" Kim said.

"Yes, thanks for asking. I'm just being weird," Molly said.

"You're not weird. Don't all girls have a boyfriend and a girlfriend?" Kathy said and then she giggled.

"Just the lucky ones," Kim said and then she laughed too.

"You guys are teasing me," Molly said.

"Not at all, Honey," Kathy said. "I have a boyfriend and a girlfriend too. Don't forget, the three of us are in this together."

"I know we are, Kathy," Molly said.

Kathy turned Molly around. She put her arms around Molly's neck, pulling their mouths together. Kathy kissed Molly, pushing her tongue into the startled girl's mouth. Molly moaned and hugged Kathy.

"Hey, you two are making me jealous," Kim said.

Molly giggled and said, "Go get Tom."

"I'd rather kiss you," Kim said with a giggle.

"What's stopping you?" Kathy said. She released Molly. "Molly is a great kisser."

Kim giggled. She stepped in front of Molly, put her hands on Molly's hips and gave her a tender kiss. Molly giggled until Kim slipped her tongue into her mouth. The two girls broke the kiss and then all three of them laughed.

Molly, Kathy, and Kim finished preparing lunch. They put the food on the counter and got out paper plates. Kathy took out sodas before going out to tell the others the food was ready.

The teens ate their sandwiches and salad the girls prepared. Kristin, Randy, and Fran joined them. Sally fixed a plate for Brad. She took it up to the bridge with her food.

"I brought your lunch, Brad," Sally said. "I hope you're horny—I mean hungry." Sally giggled and handed Brad the plate.

"You're a goof, Sally," Brad said. "Thanks for bringing my lunch."

Sally stayed on the bridge. She and Brad ate their lunches, chatting about the morning's fishing between bites. When they finished, Sally took the plates down to the galley. Sally returned to the bridge and stood next to Brad. He told her to take over so he could use the head. Sally stepped up to the wheel. Brad told her the boat was on autopilot, but she needed to keep a sharp eye on the ocean and make sure they stayed on course.

Brad went down to the galley. He grabbed a soda, opened it and took a drink. Brad set the can down and went to the head. When he returned, he grabbed his soda and went back to the bridge.

"Let's go change the baits. We'll want to run the twelve inch teasers for marlin," Jenny said.

Jack, Jenny, and Eddie went out to change the teasers. Kathy and Tom stayed in the galley to clean up. Kim helped in the galley and then went out to the cockpit.

Brad called down, telling the others they were approaching their first waypoint. Sally slowed the boat, turned off the autopilot, and turned so she was on course. Brad watched, smiling at how well Sally managed the boat.

Eddie and Jenny began setting up the port side of the boat. Jack and Molly started doing the same on the starboard side. A few minutes later, the teens were fishing. Jack and Jenny went up to the tuna tower to watch for fish and steer the boat.

When the first marlin came up and began following a teaser, Jenny yelled down to the cockpit. Tom grabbed a pitch rod and flipped the bait into the water. Jenny coached Tom, telling him when the fish took the bait.

Tom moved to the fighting chair. When he sat down, Molly handed him the reel straps. Tom attached the clips to the reel and began fighting the fish. The marlin made a long run before coming up for the first of many jumps. The teens, Kristin, Randy, and Fran watched while the large fish tail-walked across the water.

"I don't care how many times I see this, I'll never get tired of it," Kristin said.

"It's amazing, isn't it?" Fran said.

"Yes, and to think the line they're using is only twenty-pound test. It still baffles me how they are able to land fish that size with such light tackle," Kristin said.

The fight lasted an hour. When the fish finally tired and was close to the boat, Eddie handled the leader. Molly stood at Eddie's side, waiting with the tagging pole in hand. Eddie told her to tag the fish as he held the leader with both hands. Molly jabbed the pole at the fish, inserting the tag into it in the proper place.

"Someone needs to cut the leader. We're not going to be able to get the hook out of this one," Eddie said.

Kim grabbed the cutter. She leaned over the gunwale and cut the line near the fish's mouth. Eddie stood up and showed the leader to Kristin.

"Good tag and cut. You add a marlin to the five sailfish," Kristin said.

Just as the teens began resetting the teasers, a distress call came over the radio.

"Pan-pan, pan-pan, pan-pan. This is 'High Tied.' We are broken down and taking water," the call said.

"High Tied, this is Lady Guinevere. What is the nature of your breakdown and your position?" Jack replied into the microphone of the radio.

"Lady Guinevere, we hit a submerged log and bent the shafts. We are taking water around the bearings, but the pumps are keeping up," the captain said.

The captain of High Tied gave his position. Jack punched the information into the chart plotter. "They're about twelve miles from us. I'm heading that way," Jack yelled down to the others.

"High Tied, we are on our way. Our ETA is twenty minutes," Jack said into the microphone.

Turning to Molly, Jack said, "You better go down to the cockpit. It's going to get rough up here, Molly."

Molly thought for a moment and said, "I'll be okay."

As soon as the outriggers were up and locked, Jack pushed the throttles forward. The boat came up on plane. As Jack said, the ride was rougher than normal. The tuna tower swayed as the boat cut through the two-foot waves.

In the cockpit, Eddie and Brad secured the tackle. They stowed the rods in holders and put away the teasers and hooks. Jenny and Kim went up to the bridge to watch. Fifteen minutes later, Jack saw the High Tied. He called the boat on the radio, asking the captain what he wanted Jack to do.

"We have a fender with a line tied to it. It's floating in the water about fifty feet behind our boat. Come around the stern and hook the line with your boat hook," the captain said.

Jack maneuvered the Lady Guinevere into position. Brad hooked the line, pulling it into the cockpit. He tied it to a cleat and stood back.

"Have you ever towed another boat?" the captain of High Tied asked.

Jack told him he hadn't. After checking with Eddie, Jack told the captain no one had towed a boat before.

The two boats bobbed in the ocean. Jack called down to Eddie, asking what he should do.

"I'll take over from the bridge. I can come alongside their boat. Put out fenders and we'll have the captain come aboard our boat," Eddie yelled up to Jack.

Eddie went to the bridge while Jack told the captain of the disabled boat what they planned to do. Eddie took over the helm and moved toward High Tied. Brad and Tom lowered fenders over the starboard side to protect both boats. While Eddie maneuvered the boat into position, Kathy and one of the members of the other crew tended to the line.

The captain stepped off his boat onto Lady Guinevere. He introduced himself, telling everyone his name was Stan. Jack told Stan to follow him to the bridge.

"Eddie, this is Stan," Jack said. "Stan, this is Eddie."

Stan and Eddie shook hands. "Thanks for responding to our call. We're dead in the water. We hit a partly submerged log or something and it tore things up. As I said, the pumps are keeping up, but we need to get into port so we can assess the damage," Stan said.

"No problem, we're glad we can help. Do you want to take the helm?" Eddie said.

"Sure, if you want me to. I've towed before. It isn't hard, but if can get tricky when we get to the marina," Stan said.

Stan took the helm. Eddie went over the gauges and electronics with Stan. He nodded, called his boat, and told them he was ready. As Stan eased the boat forward, he watched behind him. Kathy gave the line to Brad, asking him to tend to it. He paid the line out until it began pulling the other boat.

"This is a good looking boat. I noticed her in the marina," Stan said.

"Thanks, we like her," Eddie said.

"I hope I didn't end your chance of winning the tournament." Stan chuckled. "Although I don't think anyone can catch you. We caught and tagged two sailfish before we hit the debris."

"We tagged five sails and a marlin," Jack said.

"Where did you find the marlin? We hunted them, but didn't get a rise. I decided to catch sailfish instead," Stan said.

"We found then earlier in the week. We also have waypoints for sailfish," Eddie said.

Kristin came up to the bridge. She asked of she could use the radio to inform the tournament director what was going on. Eddie gave her the microphone. Kristin reported the incident. The tournament director told Kristin he'd heard the distress call on the radio and followed what happened.

Stan pulled into the marina. He maneuvered the boat so his boat came close to the gas dock. Several men caught the lines Stan's crew tossed to them. Tom untied the High Tied and dropped the towline overboard.

Eddie took over. He put the boat in the slip and shut it down. Tom and Brad tied her up and connected the power. Stan thanked the teens and left to tend to his boat. Kristin told the teens she would see them at the weigh in.

"That was cool, but we could have caught more fish," Kim said.

"I know, but when someone is in trouble on the water, we have to respond. If it were us that had broken down, I would want someone to help us," Eddie said.

"I'm not saying it was wrong. I know we had to do what we did," Kim said. "We have an hour before the weigh in. I think I'll go get cleaned up."

The teens took their time cleaning up and getting ready for the weigh in. While they sat around, their parents came aboard. Eddie and Jack told the adults about towing in the disabled boat.

"We already heard about it," Marc said. "There are a lot of people talking about what you kids did this afternoon. I'm proud of you, all of you."

"It wasn't a big deal, Mr. Lewis. Anyone would have done the same thing. Any boater that is," Jenny said.

"That may be true, but the fact is you kids did help. You gave up fishing time to tow that boat in. I heard the boat would have been okay until the end of the tournament," Marc said.

"It doesn't matter. Helping each other is just what boaters do," Jenny said.

Marc smiled. "Somehow I thought that's what you kids would say."

The group left for the weigh in ceremony. On the way, the teens talked about how they went out where most the other boats fished. They told their parents they didn't want the other boats following them to where they had caught the marlin. They went into the conference room. The teens took table near the front of the room. Their parents took another table near the back.

Wally, the tournament director, came over to the teen's table. He told the group he was pleased that they helped the other boat. Molly asked about the standings. Wally laughed and walked away.

"Welcome to the final weigh in for the tournament," Wally said into the microphone. "We're ready to get going. All of today's scores have been added to yesterday's and we have a winner. I'll start with last place and work to the number one boat."

"Gee, I wonder who is number one." Jeff Lamar called out. The room broke into laughter.

Wally began calling out the scores. A man stood by the leader board, uncovering the boats' name and the points it earned. When Wally reached the second place team, a hush fell on the crowd.

"Lazy Daze caught three sailfish and three marlin. They earned seven hundred fifty points today. That gives them a total of 1950 points for the tournament. Our first place boat, Lady Guinevere, caught five sailfish and one marlin. They used circle hooks earning seven hundred fifty points and a two-day total of twenty five hundred points.

"I want to mention the Lady Guinevere team cut their fishing time short to aid High Tied." The crowd began applauding. "Congratulations on your win. Please come up to the stage."

The teens walked up to the stage. They stood shoulder to shoulder in a straight line. Wally shook each of their hands and then handed the trophy to Jenny. Jenny hoisted the trophy above her head. The crowd clapped and cheered.

Wally asked Jenny to say a few things. She went to the podium and said, "Thank you. We all enjoyed fishing in this tournament. Our Shimano rods and reels worked perfectly with our Marlin Magic lures. Those of you who that have fished against our team before know we have a new boat. It's a Bowman seventy-five with an enclosed bridge."

"Nice plug," Harry called from the back of the room.

"How did you find the marlin?" someone yelled.

"We pre-fished for a few days and found the fish. We were taught to run our own program and once again it worked," Jenny said.

"Do you find it hard having an enclosed bridge when you're fishing?" a man asked.

"Not at all. We used the tuna tower while we fished. There are controls and video in the cockpit too," Jenny said.

"Are you giving tours of the boat?" another man asked.

"We'll be onboard later. If anyone wants to stop by, we'll be happy to show anyone around," Jenny said. "Thanks again, have a great night tonight."

Jenny left the podium. The teens collected their check and went back to their table. Andy Nester and Marlin Parker stopped at the table to thank the teens for mentioning their companies. Randy and Fran taped the entire ceremony.

Several of the captains came by to offer their congratulations to the team. A few of them said they would like to stop by to see the Lady Guinevere later that evening.

Jack, Tom, and Brad went to get sodas for the team. Stan and a couple members of his team were at the concession stand. Stan bought the sodas, thanking the teens for helping out.

"Have you checked out your boat yet?" Brad asked.

"Yeah, I dove under her earlier. Whatever we hit tore up the shafts, shaft seals, a packing box, and one of the props. I don't trust anyone down here to fix her," Stan said.

"Will the towing company come down here to get her?" Jack asked.

"Yes, I called them after I checked things out. They are sending a boat that can load her on the deck," Stan said.

"Are the bilge pumps going to be able to keep her afloat?" Jack said.

"Yes, they are keeping up with the inflow of water. As long as I have power I'll be okay," Stan replied. "Thanks again for coming to my rescue. I have to get going and check the boat."

Stan said goodbye and left. Brad, Tom, and Jack took the sodas back to the table and sat down. They told the others what Stan told them.

"Dad said we'll have dinner at seven o'clock. That gives us time to take a short nap before we have to get ready," Kim said.

The teens decided to head to the boat. They told their parents what they planned and left. On the way out of the building, Fran stopped them.

"Hi, Randy and I are leaving in a couple hours," Fran said.

"Why are you leaving?" Sally asked.

"We have to get back to New York and get started on editing the tape. ESPN wants to see what we have," Fran said. Randy came over and put his arm around Fran's waist. "We have to get our gear off the boat."

"When is your flight to New York?" Eddie said.

"We fly out tomorrow night," Randy said.

"We're heading back tomorrow morning. We'll do a little fishing on the way and get home at about six. If no one minds, you're welcome to ride back with us," Eddie said.

"Thank you, but we already checked out of our room," Fran said.

"That's not a problem, you can stay on the boat tonight," Jack said.

"Are you sure? Fran and I don't want to impose," Randy said.

"We're sure, Fran," Jenny said and then she giggled. "We might even stop and swim on the way home."

"Come on, we'll help you two get your stuff," Brad said.

Fran and Randy talked to each other for a moment. They agreed to ride home with the teens.

"Thanks, Fran and I really enjoy being on the boat and being with you guys," Randy said.

Brad, Tom, and Randy walked to the hotel to get the luggage. Kim and Sally went back into the building to tell their parents the plan to have Randy and Fran stay on the boat, and ride back to Florida with them. Then they headed for the boat with the rest of the group. When the guys arrived with the luggage, Kathy suggested they put it in the spare stateroom.

"We can put our things in the crews' quarters," Randy said.

Kim grinned and said, "Of course you can, but we'd rather you put it in the stateroom. You're finished working, you're our guests now."

Before Fran could protest, Tom and Brad headed below. Randy shrugged his shoulders and followed them. They put the luggage in the stateroom and went back up to the saloon.

The group sat in the saloon and talked about the tournament, as well as the trip. Fran and Randy told the teens about some of the things they filmed, and the places they visited. Even though the teens heard about them before, they enjoyed listening to Randy and Fran.

"We should hire you and Randy to make a 'How To' series of videos," Sally said. "We could market the videos to help pay for the boat and our fishing."

"What makes you think anyone would want to buy them?" Molly said.

"Honey, if marketed properly, you can sell almost anything to anyone. Look at the crap they sell on those infomercials on television. I think there would be a lot of people that would buy our videos." Sally giggled. "Especially if we wear our bikinis when we make them."

Everyone laughed at what Sally said. Then Brad said, "I think Sally is right. I think we could sell videos on deep-sea fishing. We can do a series on the different fish."

"That's what I think too. If we make sure to mention our sponsors, they may give us more money," Sally said. "We can advertise the videos on the show we're going to produce."

"You're really serious about all of this, aren't you, Sally," Molly said.

"Sure, why wouldn't I be? The worse thing that can happen is we fail. If we were afraid of failing, we wouldn't fish or try the new things we do. We're young and can keep trying until we find something that succeeds," Sally said as she looked at Jack.

Sally ran her fingertips over the gold choker around her neck. Jack smiled, nodding his head. Grinning, Sally went on. "What do the rest of you think about it?"

"I think it would be fun to do even if we don't sell any videos," Kathy said.

"How would we pay for it? How much would it cost us to produce a video, Randy?" Eddie said.

"I don't know. I have never thought about doing anything like this," Randy said.

"How about if we pay your expenses and give you a percentage of the sales?" Sally said.

"That is an interesting idea, Sally. We're normally paid a flat fee when we work. It may cost you more if you paid a percentage of the sales and the video sells," Fran said.

"I know, but I figure that if you have a stake in the production, you'll make sure the videos are the best they can be. I'm not saying you wouldn't do your best if we paid you a fee, but I've read that people work harder when they're vested in the company they work for," Sally said.

"You and Fran already have the equipment you need, don't you?" Jack said.

"Some of the equipment is ours, but most of it belongs to ESPN. We borrow it when we do work for them. If a company doesn't have the equipment we need, we rent it and pass along the cost," Randy said.

"Do you have what we need to make the videos Sally is talking about?" Kathy said.

"Fran and I own two of the cameras, the tripods, lighting and some of the accessories. We don't own the sound equipment or the steadicam," Randy replied. "We could make the videos with what we have if we rent the sound equipment. The steadicam is nice, but not required."

"I'm beginning to like this idea. We could do videos on basic rigging, terminal tackle, knots, fishing techniques, boat handling, and other things," Jenny said.

"Yeah, and when we're making a fishing show, we can refer to the video," Brad said.

"I think we should talk to Mr. Levinson or Mr. Stone," Tom said. "They can advise us on how to set things up."

The teens didn't get to take a nap. They talked until it was time to get ready for dinner. When Kim said it was time to change, the group went below.

"What do you think about Sally's idea?" Randy asked Fran once they were in their stateroom.

"I don't know. Do you think it would work?" Fran replied.

"It might work, Honey. How do you feel about the idea of being part of the production company?"

"It's a risk, but it's a risk I'm willing to explore. If ESPN decides to launch the series, we'll be spending a lot of time in Florida anyway." Fran gave Randy a hug. "I say we go for it, if the kids really want to do it."

Randy kissed Fran. He pulled back, moving his hands to her breasts. Fran smiled and said, "You know, if this works out, it could be our break. I wasn't real keen on working for ESPN. I think we can work out a deal to remain contractors."

"I thought you wanted the security of a real job. You said we should wait until we were established before we got married," Randy said.

Fran shrugged her shoulders. She knelt on the deck, unfastened Randy's pants, and began stroking his penis. Leaning forward, Fran took his member into her mouth. She bobbed her head several times, stroking his penis with her tongue and lips. Fran pulled back, looked up, and said, "Things change, Baby."

Randy chuckled. He pulled Fran to her feet and gave her a tender kiss. "You're right about that!"

Fran and Randy undressed. They were just about to step into the head to shower when they heard a knock on the door. Fran stood behind the door, opening it to see Sally standing there. Giggling, Fran stepped out from behind the door. Sally was as naked as she was.

"I just wanted to tell you the girls are all wearing skirts tonight," Sally said. "Let me know when you two finish so Jack and I can use the head."

"Okay, Randy and I will be out in a few minutes, Sally," Fran said.

Sally padded back to her stateroom. Fran, laughing aloud, went into the head. She stepped into the head, joining Randy in the warm spray.

"Who was there?" Randy asked.

"Sally. She wanted to tell me the girls planned to wear skirts tonight. I don't think that girl would wear clothes if she didn't have to," Fran said. "Sally was stark naked."

"I should have answered the door," Randy said with a chuckle.

Fran chuckled. She started washing Randy, paying close attention to his genitals. They played for a few moments, but hurried so Sally and Jack could have the shower. Once they were finished and dried off, Fran went to tell Sally the shower was available.

Sally and Jack went into the stateroom. They said hi to Randy and Fran before going into the shower. Fran smiled at Randy and said, "So, you're not jealous because Jack saw me naked?"

"No, I'm not. I told you, I'm over that crap," Randy said.

Fran gave Randy a kiss and then began getting dressed. Fran put on the only skirt she'd packed for the trip. Randy also dressed, selecting a pair of slacks and a pullover polo shirt. They left the stateroom to wait in the saloon.

The group went to the restaurant. Don and the rest of the parents were there waiting in one of the private dining rooms. The teens, along with their new friends, found seats. Molly sat with her mom and Joel. She told them about the days fishing, repeating things she'd told them earlier. Laura listened and smiled. She loved seeing Molly's passion and excitement.

"There is a party for the fishing teams tonight," Tom said to his parents. "I think we're going to check it out."

"We shouldn't stay up too late, Honey. We want to get an early start in the morning," Kim said. "When are you guys leaving, Aunt Anne?"

"We will fly out after you kids leave, Kim," Anne replied. "We'll be there when you got back."

"I wish we weren't going back to Michigan the day after tomorrow," Tom said. "I'd rather stay here."

"I know, but it won't be long. You kids will be back before you know it," Anne said. "We all will."

"Are we all moving down as soon as school is finished?" Kim asked.

"I don't know about all of us. We have things to take care of up north. Don't forget your dads have their projects to tend to," Anne said.

"We have reservations about having you kids down here without us," Marge said. "Be patient, we'll move as soon as we can. We know you kids are anxious."

After dinner, the group went outside. The parents bought drinks at one of the outdoor bars. The teens bought sodas. At seven, they went to the party.

The group found two tables and sat down. Several people stopped to talk to the teens about their win and the boat. The teens told them that they would be at the boat later if they wanted to see her.

During the party, the teens danced with one another. They didn't limit themselves to their partners. Tom danced with Molly several times. During one of the dances Tom and Molly shared, Kim danced with Eddie.

"It looks like Tom and Molly are having a good time," Eddie said. The music was slow and Kim danced close with Eddie.

"Yeah, I think they really like each other. I hope you and Kathy don't get pissed at him," Kim said.

"We're not upset about Tom and Molly dancing—or anything else they may do. We love her and want Molly to be happy. When we started the relationship, Kathy and I talked. We know that it probably won't last forever."

"I think it's sweet that you and Kathy treat Molly so nicely. She told me about her ex-boyfriend and how he treated her."

"We didn't do it because Molly was vulnerable. Kathy and I really do love Molly," Eddie said.

"I know. I think being rescued is every girl's fantasy. You know, like in the movies. I don't think you guys took advantage of Molly, I think you rescued her. From what Kathy told me, she lacked self-esteem and didn't think she was cute or sexy. You two made her feel wanted for something other than sex," Kathy said.

"Molly is cute; cute and sexy," Eddie said with a chuckle.

"I think so. Tom thinks she has a sexy ass," Kim said.

"You know, Molly is very attracted to Tom too. It wouldn't surprise me if they got together."

Kim giggled and kissed Eddie's cheek. "If they do, you and Kathy will have to take care of me."

Laughing, Eddie moved one hand to Kim's bottom. He gave her a firm squeeze and then said, "That sounds like a plan. Now, how do we get Tom and Molly to get together?"

"I think nature is taking care of that." Kim glanced over to where Tom and Molly danced. "Take a look at them."

Eddie looked at Molly and Tom. He smiled as he watched them dancing close. "Yeah, it sure does."

Tom and Molly danced as if they were the only two people in the room. Molly rested her head against Tom's shoulder. She held him close, feeling Tom's body against hers. Tom gently rubbed Molly's back as they swayed to the music.

"This week has been so much fun for me. I love being with you guys," Tom said. "I can't wait until we move down here."

"It's been fun for me too. I would have never dreamed of doing something like this." Molly looked up at Tom and smiled. "Being part of the team is the best thing that's ever happened to me."

"It's nice the way we all get along so well."

"Yes it is. It's great that no one gets jealous or mad at each other. I don't think most people could do it. My ex used to get so pissed if I even looked at another boy. None of you seem to get jealous of each other," Molly said.

"Jealousy is a curse, Molly. It just eats you up and ruins relationships. Once you realize that it's possible to love more than one person, jealousy disappears," Tom said.

Molly giggled. "Who knows that better than me? After all, I sleep with my boyfriend and girlfriend at the same time."

Kathy came over to Molly and Tom. She tapped Tom on the shoulder and said, "It's my turn."

Tom chuckled, releasing Molly. Kathy thanked him and began dancing with Molly. Laughing, Tom returned to the table.

Molly looked around nervously. She felt Kathy pulling her close, but resisted. "Do you think we should do this here?" Molly said.

"Yes I do. You're my girlfriend and I want to dance with you. If the other people don't like it, they can take a hike." Kathy kissed Molly on the mouth. "I love you and I don't care who knows it!"

Molly melted into Kathy's arms. She sighed, feeling better than ever before. "I love you too, Kathy."

The music changed to a fast song. Molly and Kathy separated and began to dance. They giggled as they moved to the throbbing beat. When the song ended, they joined the rest of the team at the table.

Laura came over to talk to her daughter. Pulling up a chair, Laura sat next to Molly. "It looks like you're in demand tonight, Honey," Laura said.

Molly giggled and nodded. "I'm having fun, Mom. Are you and Joel having fun too?"

"Yes we are. These folks are the best. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. Seeing you happy makes it near perfect. It's nice having friends, good friends. It's been a long time since I've had women I could talk to," Laura said.

Joel came to the table. Standing behind Laura, he put his hands on her shoulders. Joel leaned over and said, "Would you like to dance?"

Laura looked up and nodded. Joel chuckled and said, "Um, I was asking Molly."

Molly giggled, got up, and took Joel's hand. He led her to the dance floor and took Molly in his arms. They started dancing to the slow song the DJ played.

"Mom said she was having a good time," Molly said to Joel.

"That's good; I know I'm having a great time being with her. I really care about your mom, Molly," Joel said.

"She cares about you too."

"You know I want to marry your mom. Are you okay with that?" Joel said.

"Yes, I want Mom to be happy, Joel. I know she cares about you, but I think she's scared."

"Why would she be afraid? What is she scared of?" Joel asked.

"Mom has always worked and taken care of me. I think she is afraid of becoming dependant on you. If she finds a job, I think Mom will be fine and you two will get married," Molly said. "Mom and I talk about things."

"Maybe I can help her find something," Joel said.

"Maybe, but you have to make sure she doesn't know you helped her find a job." Molly giggled. "Mom is very independent."

Joel laughed and said, "You're telling me? I never met a woman as strong willed as she is."

"Mom loved what she did. I think she would be happy if she could find something like what she did. She loves to clean, bake, and take care of people. Just make sure you don't try to make her do something she isn't happy doing," Molly said.

"Thanks, that's good advice," Joel said. He pulled Molly closer, dancing until the song ended. When the music stopped, Joel dipped Molly. She giggled and thanked him for the dance.

The teens stayed at the party until ten o'clock. They told their parents they were going to the boat and that they would see them in the morning. Jack told Fran and Randy the plan. They said they would go to the boat with the rest of the group.

Eddie turned on the spreader lights, illuminating the cockpit of the boat. When Jack asked him why, Eddie said, "I want to let people know we're here in case they want to tour the boat."

"I better go down and clean up our stateroom. I think I left my undies on the floor," Sally said.

The girls went below to check the staterooms. They made sure they made the beds and put away their clothes. Jenny and Kim checked the heads. When they went back up to the cockpit, they saw the boys talking to one of the crews from another boat.

"How does she handle?" one of the men asked.

"She handles like a dream. She tracks straight and comes up quickly," Eddie said.

Eddie showed the other team the cockpit controls and electronics. He told them they could operate the boat from the cockpit as well as the bridge and tuna tower. Eddie and Sally took the team up to the enclosed flying bridge. Sally explained the electronics to the men. After the tour, the men asked a few more questions.

Over the next hour, several of the other fishing teams stopped by to look at the Lady Guinevere. All of them complemented the teens on the boat. A couple of the other captains mentioned how impressed they were at the girls' knowledge of the boat.

The teens stayed in the cockpit for a bit longer. They decided that everyone that wanted to see the boat had stopped by. Just as Eddie went to shut off the lights, another group came up. Eddie invited them aboard.

"I wanted to see your boat. Is it too late?" a man asked.

"No, come aboard," Jenny said.

Brad began the tour. He and Kathy took the new group through the boat. The group was the only one with a woman that came to visit.

"I really like the staterooms," the woman said. "Most of the convertibles my husband and I have looked at aren't laid out this well. The other boats didn't have as many staterooms. They were designed for luxury, not fishing."

"We wanted to make sure our team is comfortable," Kathy said. "We made the staterooms smaller so we could have more of them."

"Did you have something to do with the design?" the woman asked.

"Yes, we designed the boat." Kathy gave the group a quick explanation of the way they came to design the boat and then found out it was for them.

"You didn't know it was for you?" the woman's husband said.

"No, we didn't know who the owner would be," Brad said.

The group went up to the galley. Kathy showed the woman around while the men talked to Brad. After seeing the saloon, they went outside.

"I'm Wanda Grubbs. This is my husband Lyle. We have been looking for a new boat. I would like to talk to you about designing a boat for us," Wanda said.

"I can talk to my dad and see if he's interested in building another one. His company normally builds custom yachts," Eddie said.

"Please do. Lyle and I would really like you to consider helping us design one. You've done a wonderful job here and I think you could do the same for us," Wanda said.

"Where do you live? Dad's boatyard is in Fort Lauderdale," Jenny said.

"We live in Durham, North Carolina, but we have a home in Stewart, Florida too. Traveling will not be a problem for us," Wanda said.

Lyle gave Jenny a business card. "Think about it. If you're interested, give me a call," Lyle said. "If we move forward, I'd like to go out on this boat to see how she rides and handles."

"We'll let you know. As I said, we have to talk to my dad first," Eddie said.

Lyle, Wanda, and their crew left the boat. Eddie tuned off the lights and the teens went inside. They sat in the saloon drinking sodas. Finally, Jack spoke up.

"You guys should go for it. Do you think your dad would build another boat like this one?" Jack said.

"I don't know. This boat was meant to be a yacht, but the man that ordered it died. Dad had the hull in the yard. Your dad and uncle decided to have it built for us," Jenny said.

"How long would it take to build something like this from the ground up?" Molly said.

"About a year I guess. It depends on what other boats Dad has going," Eddie said.

"Do you think you'd have time? What with fishing and all, you guys are pretty busy as it is," Fran said.

"We could make the time if we decide to do it, and if Wanda and Lyle want the boat. Dad has people that do most of the work. We just give them the ideas," Jenny said. "I wouldn't mind; we had fun last time."

The teens talked about the possibility of designing another boat. They decided to approach Harry and find out if he was interested in building fishing boats as well as yachts.

"I think we should call it a night. We want to get up and going early tomorrow. We are fishing, aren't we?" Eddie said.

"I want to fish," Molly said. The others agreed.

The teens made sure the boat was secure before heading below. Fran said she and Randy would sleep in the crew quarters, but the teens wouldn't hear of it. They all went below, said good night and went to their staterooms.

Jenny and Sally stood in the passageway talking with Jack and Brad. Sally reached out and gripped one of Jenny's breasts. Squeezing Jenny firmly, Sally looked at Jack.

Jack smiled and said, "I think Sally wants to fool around with Jenny."

Jenny giggled, moved closer to Sally, and said, "I think Jenny would like that."

The two girls giggled and hugged. Sally moved one hand to Jenny's bottom and pulled her skirt up. Rubbing Jenny's butt, Sally gave Jenny a kiss.

"What are we supposed to do, watch?" Brad said.

"No, you can help," Sally said.

The four of them went into Brad and Jenny's stateroom. Jack and Brad sat on the bed, watching the two girls undressing each other. After they finished removing each other's clothes, the girls climbed on the bed.

Jack stood up. He began unbuttoning his shirt while watching Sally kiss and fondle Jenny. Chuckling, Brad started to undress too.

"Look, there are two nice cocks over there," Sally said and then she giggled. "If I wasn't having such a good time, I would attack them."

Jenny guided Sally's head to her breasts. "They will have to wait," Jenny said.

Sally kissed and licked Jenny's breasts. Jenny groaned and held Sally's head. When Sally began to finger her, Jenny rocked her hips. The two girls moved around so Sally could get her head between Jenny's legs. Jenny rubbed Sally's vulva, sliding her finger between the girl's labia.

Jack and Brad stood by the bed stroking their erections. They watched their girlfriends twist and moan on the berth. Jack chuckled and said, "This is better than paying to watch porn—isn't it?"

"No shit! I'm going to lose it pretty soon," Brad replied as he removed his hand from his penis.

"I'm not going to wait," Jack said. He climbed on the bed, kneeling between Jenny's legs.

Jack took Sally by the hair. He lifted her head, pushing his penis toward her. Giggling, Sally opened her mouth. Jack slid his member into Sally's mouth. She sucked him for a moment and then backed off. Wrapping her hand around his penis, Sally guided Jack into Jenny's vagina.

"Oh yeah, that's the way. Either Sally grew a cock or one of the boys is fucking me," Jenny said.

"Jack is fucking you," Sally said.

"Hey, what about me?" Brad said.

"Come over here. I'll take care of your big dick," Sally said.

Brad moved onto the bed. Sally took his penis in her mouth and began to suck on him. Jenny giggled and licked between Sally's legs. Sally bobbed her head for a few moments. She pulled her mouth off Brad and pushed Jack away from Jenny. Giggling, Sally dropped her head between Jenny's legs.

Jack watched for a moment. Then, he pulled Sally off Jenny. Jack moved over Jenny and took over. He licked Jenny's vulva, working his tongue into her opening as far as he could. Sally wrapped her hand around Brad's member and stroked him.

Sally moved Brad around until he was kneeling between Jenny's legs. She lifted Jack's head and pushed Brad's penis into Jenny's vagina. Brad moved in and out of Jenny a few times. Sally pushed him away and moved Jack's head back between Jenny's legs. Giggling, Sally orchestrated the action. She switched Jack and Brad several times while Jenny writhed and moaned.

Sally moved her crotch to Jenny's mouth. Jenny eagerly licked and sucked her labia. Each time Sally switched between Brad's penis and Jack's tongue, Jenny gasped.

The action heated up. Sally guided the two boys to and from Jenny's overexcited sex. Sally held Brad's penis in one hand and Jack's head in her other hand. She tipped Jack's face up and guided Brad's penis toward Jack's mouth. Jack looked up at Sally, smiled and took Brad's member into his mouth.

Brad looked down. His body jerked when he realized it was Jack sucking on his penis. He tried to pull back, but Sally held him firmly in place.

"Don't knock it until you try it, Brad," Sally whispered. "Jack doesn't mind, do you, Sweetie?"

Jack moaned and shook his head from side to side. He pulled his mouth off Brad and sat up. Sally released Brad and climbed off Jenny.

"I don't know if I want you to do that, Man," Brad said.

"Do what? What's happening?" Jenny said as she sat up.

"Jack was sucking Brad's cock. I don't think Brad likes it," Sally said.

"I didn't say I didn't like it. I'm just not sure about it, that's all," Brad said.

Jenny moved closer to Brad. She winked at Sally and said, "Oh, so you like it then."

"That's not what I said," Brad replied.

"Does that mean you don't like getting a blowjob?" Sally said.

Jenny and Sally giggled at that.

"I thought I was doing okay," Jack said and then he laughed too.

"Okay, that's enough. It was fine, but I—shit, I don't know!" Brad said in frustration.

Jenny leaned over and kissed Brad's penis. She began bobbing her head, taking him to the back of her throat. Jack and Sally watched for a moment. Sally shrugged her shoulders and went down on Jack.

Brad held Jenny's head, moving her up and down on his member. Jenny removed her mouth and moved next to Sally. She and Sally took turns sucking on Jack. Brad moved behind Sally and slipped his penis into her vagina.

Sally moved away from Jack. She pushed her bottom back against Brad and giggled. Falling forward, Sally scrambled away from Brad. He grabbed her ankle. Sally flipped around and began kissing Brad. He hugged her, sliding his tongue into Sally's mouth.

Jenny moved over so she could suck on Brad's penis. She put her hand behind Jack's head, pulling him closer to Brad. "I didn't get to see you," Jenny whispered. "Will you do it again?"

Jack smiled and took Brad into his mouth again. Brad moaned into Sally's mouth and then noticed it was Jack sucking him again. Sally reached down and fondled Brad's testicles.

"That feels good, doesn't it, Brad?" Sally said.

Brad let out a groan and nodded.

"God, I never thought seeing this would be so hot!" Jenny said. She moved up and kissed Brad.

Jack removed his mouth from Brad. Jenny reached for Brad's penis, stroking him while she kissed his mouth. Sally grinned and moved Jack up on the bed. She had Jack kneel near Jenny and Brad's head. Taking Jenny by the hair, Sally pulled her to Jack's member. Jenny opened her mouth and took as much of Jack in as she could. Jenny alternated between kissing Brad and sucking Jack's penis.

Sally squatted over Brad. She gripped his erection, guiding it into her vagina. Lowering her body, Sally impaled herself on Brad's penis. She started moving up and down while watching Jenny.

Jenny continued to switch between Brad's mouth and Jack's penis. When she tried to push Jack's member toward Brad, Jack stopped her.

"Don't. He doesn't want to do that," Jack said.

Jenny giggled as she moved Jack's penis closer to Brad's mouth. She leaned over so she could kiss Brad and Jack's member at the same time. Moving her head back a little, she pressed the head of Jack's penis against Brad's lips. Jack was about to pull back, but Brad opened his mouth. Jenny fed Jack between Brad's lips and leaned close to his ear.

"Go ahead, Baby. Suck Jack's cock for me," Jenny whispered.

Brad closed his eyes and his mouth. Jack held still while Brad held his penis in his mouth. Slowly, Brad took in a little more. Jack moved his hips. Brad moaned and ran his tongue around Jack's glans. Sally stopped moving and watched.

Jack ran his fingers through Brad's hair. Brad moaned and started to suck on Jack's throbbing penis. After a moment, Jack pulled back. He pulled Jenny onto her back and stuffed his penis into her vagina. The two couples screwed without abandon. Jack pounded into Jenny while Sally bounced up and down on Brad.

Brad came first, shoving his hips up against Sally. Sally leaned over and kissed Brad as his penis sent several strong spurts of semen into her clutching vagina. Sally reached between them, rubbing her clitoris until she climaxed.

Jack lowered his head. Bending his neck, he sucked on one of Jenny's nipples. Jenny grabbed his head and held him to her breast. Jack felt Jenny's vagina contracting around his penis. He picked up speed, driving his member deep into her. Jenny chanted as she came. Jack pushed in as far as he could and came. His penis spewed semen into her convulsing vagina. Jenny bucked her hips and let out a throaty growl.

The two couples lay side by side. They regained their composure and sat up. Jenny hugged Brad, kissing him hard.

"That was incredible! I can't believe how hot seeing you do that was," Jenny said to Brad.

Brad blushed. "Seeing me suck a cock turned you on?"

"Yeah, but the fact you were willing turned me on even more," Jenny said.

Brad chuckled and said, "Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, it isn't something I would want to do very often, but..."

Jenny cut him off with a kiss. She pushed her tongue into Brad's mouth and moaned. When she pulled back, she giggled.

"Honey, it just goes to show you that you never really know what you're capable of," Jenny said.

"Wait until Jack gives it to you up the butt! You're going to love that," Sally said with a giggle.

"I don't know about doing that, Sally." Brad chuckled and then grinned. "I still have to get used to sucking cock."

All four of the teens laughed at what Brad said. Jenny hugged Brad, and said, "I love you, Baby. You don't have to worry; no one will say anything about what we did."

Brad nodded and then said, "I don't really care. I wouldn't have done it if I was afraid of someone finding out."

Sally giggled and gave Jack a kiss. She smiled at Jack, "Is it okay if I fuck Brad again?"

"Sure, if you want to, it's fine with me," Jack said.

Jenny giggled and moved into Brad's arms. The girls stretched out on their backs. Jack moved over Jenny while Brad climbed on Sally. The two girls held hands while they screwed each other's boyfriends.

"Did you have a good time dancing with Molly tonight?" Kim said as she hugged Tom.

"Yeah, it was nice. Molly is fun. You're not mad, are you?" Tom said.

"Yes, but if you ravish me, I'll forgive you," Kim said and then she giggled.

Tom laughed and began removing Kim's clothes. She helped him, starting on Tom when she was naked. They turned down the bed and crawled in. Tom began kissing Kim. He moved his hands over her body, pausing to massage her breasts. Kim wrapped her fingers around his penis and stroked Tom.

Kim let out a moan and held Tom's head when he sucked on her nipples. He moved his mouth from one to the other. Tom moved lower, burying his face in Kim's crotch. She opened her legs as wide as she could. Tom licked her labia and drilled his tongue into her soft folds while gripping her butt.

"Mmmm, that's so good. Turn around, I want to do you too," Kim said.

Tom rearranged himself. He stretched out on his back and Kim lowered her crotch to his mouth. Leaning forward, she took his penis in her mouth. Kim slowly bobbed her head, taking as much of Tom's member as she could. When she gagged, Kim backed off a little. Tom took Kim's clitoris in his mouth. He used his tongue to tap against the stiffening nub.

In the stateroom next to Kim and Tom's, Kathy and Eddie snuggled with Molly. They kissed her and ran their hands over her body. Molly moaned as she tried to rub Kathy's vagina and Eddie's penis at the same time. Kathy covered Molly's mouth with hers. The two girls shared a passionate kiss. They swirled their tongues in and out of each other's mouths. Eddie slid down the bed. Kneeling, he slid a finger into each of the girls' vaginas. He started pumping his fingers into the squirming girls.

Kathy moved on top of Molly. She spread her legs and rubbed her mons against Molly's mons. Eddie lowered himself so he could lick and finger the two girls. Molly and Kathy shared mutual orgasms. Once they recovered, they turned their attention to Eddie. Molly and Kathy took turns using their mouths on Eddie's penis. They fondled his testicles while moving their mouths up and down the length of his member. When their lips met at Eddie's glans, Kathy and Molly kissed. Eddie came, sending his semen against the girls' faces. They licked his penis and each other's faces clean. The three lovers sprawled out next to each other with Eddie between Kathy and Molly. Kathy played with his penis until Eddie was hard again.

Eddie rolled on top of Molly. He gripped his penis, stuffing it into her vagina. While Kathy's hand roamed between them, Eddie and Molly made love. Eddie moved in and out of Molly for about fifteen minutes. He changed positions. Telling Molly to get on her hands and knees, Eddie moved behind her. Kathy held his penis against Molly's opening. Eddie pushed in and Kathy moved her hand to his sac. She gently fondled his testicles while Eddie slowly screwed Molly. After ejaculating in Molly, Eddie pulled his penis out of her vagina. Kathy scrambled under Molly. She pulled her down and began sucking Eddie's semen out of Molly's vagina.

Sated, Molly, Kathy, and Eddie moved until they were comfortable. Molly snuggled against Kathy's back, reaching over her body so she could hold one of Kathy's breasts. Kathy put her arm over Eddie, fondling his flaccid penis.

While the teens satisfied their sexual hunger, Fran and Randy were doing the same thing. As they cuddled in bed, Fran began stroking Randy. He reached between her splayed legs and rubbed her vulva.

"Honey, I've been thinking about the things the kids said about producing a show and doing the videos. If they're serious, I think we should go for it," Fran said.

"I think you're right. Do you think we'll make it?" Randy said.

"Yes, I think we can help make it a successful venture. Sally has a lot of good ideas, not to mention a passion I've never seen in someone that young. When we get back to New York, we should start working on storyboards for the shows. I don't know much about fishing, but with a little research, we can get started," Fran said.

"What are we going to do if ESPN wants to go forward with what we're doing?" Randy said.

"We should be able to do both."

Randy kissed Fran and then moved down her body. He paused at her breasts, flicking his tongue against her nipples. When he moved between her legs, Randy turned around. Fran wrapped her hand around his penis and held it.

"What do you want me to do with this?" Fran said as she waggled his member.

Randy licked the length of her sex and then said, "Hmmm, I think you know what I want."

Licking the head of Randy's penis, she giggled. "Do you want me to put your dick in my mouth? Do you want me to suck you until you shoot your come into my mouth?"

Randy groaned and licked her again. He used his fingers to part her labia and wiggled his tongue against Fran's hot pink flesh. She opened her legs wider and moaned.

"I'll take that as yes," Fran said and then she took his penis between her lips.

Fran and Randy used their mouths to bring each other to climax. Fran let his semen collect in her mouth, clamping her lips around Randy's shaft so none escaped. When Randy turned around, Fran opened her mouth to show him the pool of come in her mouth. She played with the thick fluid, pushing it out with her tongue and then sucking it back into her mouth. Randy watched Fran swallow and smile.

Randy kissed Fran. She opened her mouth and pushed her tongue past his lips. Fran let out a moan when she tasted her juices in Randy's mouth. Randy didn't mind the fact he could taste his semen. He was so happy that Fran was willing to perform oral sex he would have done most anything.

"Your stuff is so yummy," Fran said with a giggle.

"You don't taste bad yourself, Babe," Randy said.

"I think I taste pretty damn good," Fran said. She kissed Randy and giggled again. "If you can get it up, I want you to fuck me now."

Randy rolled on top of Fran. He fisted his penis until it was stiff enough to put inside her. With his member encased in her vagina, Randy kissed Fran. She pulled her legs up, locking her ankles behind Randy's back. He moved slowly at first, but quickly picked up the speed and intensity of their coupling. Fran held his shoulders and moved to meet each powerful thrust.

It didn't take long before Fran felt her orgasm building deep within her. She moaned and begged Randy to do it harder. Randy pounded in and out of Fran. His penis slipped out a couple times, but he quickly returned it to her vagina.

When Fran reached her peak, she let out a squeal. Randy shoved his penis into her, feeling the walls of her vagina gripping him. He started to come, his orgasm matching Fran's climax.

"I love you," Fran panted into Randy's ear.

"I love you too, Fran. This has turned out to be quite a trip, hasn't it?"

"I'll say! I think our lives are going to change for the better. We have a great opportunity. We might find our niche if we don't screw up," Fran said.

"The only thing I plan to screw is you! I plan to do it as often as you'll let me."

"Honey, you can knock me down and fuck me anytime you want to. I'm all finished using sex to try to get you to do things for me. I'm so sorry I ever did it. You have made great strides and now it's my turn."

Randy kissed Fran. "Do you want to go clean up?"

Giggling, Fran said, "No, I'm going to take care of that right now." Fran went down on Randy. She sucked his flaccid penis into her mouth and began moving her tongue over his shaft.

"Turn around so I can clean that sweet pussy of yours," Randy said.

Randy felt his stomach churn for a moment when he felt a glob of semen drain from Fran's vagina into his mouth. He fought off the feeling, keeping his mouth glued to her sex. Fran kept his penis in her mouth while Randy brought her to another orgasm. Try as she might, Fran couldn't revive Randy. She finally let his penis slip out of her mouth and turned around.

"Goodnight, Lover," Fran said.

"Goodnight, Fran."

Soon the boat was silent. The sated group slept and dreamed about the things to come.

Chapter 38


Sally woke up in her normal impish mood. She surveyed the bed, noting that Jack was asleep with his arms around Jenny. Being careful not to wake him, Sally slid down next to Brad. She took his semi flaccid penis in her mouth, laving it until it expanded. Brad stirred. Looking down, he saw it was Sally nursing him.

"Mmmm, that feels great, Jack," Brad said trying not to laugh.

Sally exposed her teeth and bit Brad gently. She released her grip when Brad laughed. Sally moved up, kissed Brad's nose and giggled.

"So, you like getting head from Jack better than you like it from me?" Sally said.

"No, I was just kidding you, Sally," Brad said.

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time. If it happens again, I'll really bite you," Sally said with a giggle.

Jenny woke up. She sat up and looked at Brad and Sally. "What time is it?" Jenny said.

"Time to get it up. I already took care of Brad," Sally said. She pointed at Brad's penis and grinned.

Jenny laughed and shook her head. Reaching under the sheet, she gripped Jack's penis. Jack kept his eyes closed and said, "Is that you, Brad?"

Jenny squeezed Jack's member and stuck her tongue out at him. Jack laughed and said, "I heard Brad and Sally. I was just getting even."

The teens got out of bed. They went to the heads to get showered and ready for the day. Sally pulled Brad into one of the heads. Jenny giggled and went into another head with Jack.

While they were in the shower, Fran came into the head Sally and Brad were using. She apologized and turned to leave. Sally stuck her head out of the shower and said, "You can use the toilet if you want to. Brad and I will be finished in a few minutes and you can have the shower."

Fran laughed and told Sally she would wait. She left the room and waited in the passageway. Molly came out of her stateroom and greeted Fran.

"I'm waiting for one of the heads. Brad and Sally are in the shower in this one. Jack and Jenny are using the other one. I think Kim and Tom are using the third head," Fran said.

"It can get busy in the morning," Molly said.

Fran looked at Molly's nakedness. She chuckled and said, "You guys don't seem to be very modest."

"Nope, we're not," Molly said. She smiled and went into the head where Sally and Brad were showering.

When Kim and Tom came out of the head, Fran went in. She was about to lock the door, but shrugged her shoulders. While she used the toilet, no one came in. Fran was going to jump in the shower, but decided to get Randy first.

The group gathered in the galley. Jenny put on the coffee while Brad and Jack went up to the bridge to start the engines. While they ate breakfast, the adults came to the boat.

Jenny poured coffee for their parents and then started another pot. Marge asked the teens if they were ready to go.

"We will be ready in a little bit, Mom. We have to finish eating and clean up the galley. When are you guys heading back?" Kim said.

"Our flights are at eleven and one," Don said. "The plane has to make two trips."

"Why don't you use a bigger plane?" Molly asked.

"We would, but the runway here is too short. The flight doesn't take long so it isn't too bad," Don said.

The teens talked to their parents while they finished eating. After saying goodbye, the parents left. Jack and Brad went to the bridge while Eddie and Molly tended to the lines. Once they cast the boat off, Eddie and Molly stowed the lines in a locker. Jack pulled the boat out of the slip and headed out. Brad told him to stop at the gas dock so they could top off the tanks and have the holding tank pumped out.

Jack eased the boat up to the gas dock. Eddie and Tom grabbed the lines the attendants tossed to them. Jack shut the boat down and the fueling began.

It took forty minutes to top the tanks and pump out the holding tank. Jack pulled the boat away from the pier. He went out into the ocean and brought the boat up on plane.

"Where do we want to fish this morning?" Jack said to Brad.

"I think we should see if we can catch a few dolphin or wahoo. We can try out where we caught the sailfish," Brad said.

Jack punched in the waypoint for the ledge. He set the autopilot and adjusted the trim.

"No hard feelings about last night, Brad?" Jack said.

Brad chuckled and shook his head. "No, it was kind of fun. Sally can be an instigator, can't she?"

"You have no idea. It still amazes me when she comes up with some of the things she thinks of. I'm over being shocked. I just go with the flow," Jack said.

"I'm going to miss you guys when you go up north. We always had fun when we fished, but with you guys here, it's a blast," Brad said.

"Thanks, I'm going to miss you guys too. It won't be too long before we're back though," Jack said.

Brad nodded. "Well, you know we'll be in touch. I think the girls talk to each other every day when you're in Michigan."

Eddie came up to the flying bridge. He checked the chart plotter and then said, "We're ready when you are. We have the rods rigged for dolphin and wahoo. I told the girls they could run the cockpit this morning."

"That's cool, Eddie. I know they like fishing as an all girl team," Brad said.

"I'm going down for coffee, anyone want one?" Eddie said.

Jack and Brad asked Eddie to grab them a cup of coffee. When he returned, Eddie handed hot coffee to Brad and Jack. Tom came up carrying coffee for him and Eddie.

"Where's Randy?" Tom said.

"He was in the cockpit the last time I saw him." Eddie walked to the sundeck and looked down. "Hey, Randy, come up here with us. Grab a coffee if you want one," Eddie said.

Randy joined the rest of the guys on the bridge. They watched forward while they talked about the plans for the day. Randy mentioned he would like it if Fran could catch another fish. He told the others how much Fran had enjoyed herself before.

"I'm sure the girls will let her reel in a fish if we hook one. When the girls run the cockpit, they make the decisions," Brad said.

"You guys take equality serious, don't you?" Randy said.

"Hell yes! Why wouldn't we? The girls fish every bit as well as we do," Tom said. "Besides, it's great watching them have fun."

"You're right about that, Tom. I didn't realize how rewarding it is when Fran is happy," Randy said.

The boys all laughed at what Randy said. Even though he didn't say anything about sex, they knew what he meant.

"I'm very lucky, Kim has never used sex to get what she wanted," Tom said. "Not when she was serious about it anyway."

"Yeah, but I'll bet you don't act like an asshole. God knows I have," Randy said.

"If it upsets Fran, don't do it anymore," Jack said.

"I'm trying, believe me, I'm trying. I told you guys how jealous I used to get. At least I'm getting better about that," Randy said.

Brad laughed and said, "You won't last around us if you get jealous, Randy. That's something we've all overcome. We have too much fun with the girls to get all bent out of shape if someone says something or looks at our girlfriends."

"I've noticed, Brad. You guys have really helped me when it comes to that," Randy said.

"We're over our first waypoint. Someone tell the girls they can start fishing," Jack said. He slowed the boat and turned so he was on course.

Tom went out on the sundeck. Hanging over the rail, he said, "We're there, you can put the lines in."

"Thanks, Tom. We're on it," Kim yelled back.

Kim, Kathy, and Molly took the port side of the boat. Jenny, Sally, and Fran took the starboard side. The girls deployed the teasers, placing the rods in the holders in the top rail. Once the teasers were dancing in the water, they lowered the outriggers. Jenny showed Fran how to attach the line to the releases. Fran followed Jenny's instructions. Within five minutes, the pattern was set. The girls stood back to admire their work.

Tom and Eddie went up to the tuna tower so they could spot for the girls. Eddie took over the operation of the boat from Jack. Tom stood facing aft, watching the water for a sign of a fish. The sun was breaking the horizon and the seas were calm. The seventy-five foot boat moved smoothly though the gentle one foot swells.

"It's going to be hotter than hell today," Eddie said. "There isn't a cloud in the sky."

"I think I can deal with that. I'll bet it's freezing up north," Tom said.

"It's cold in March?" Eddie said.

"It sure can be. I can remember a few big snowstorms in March. By mid May it's usually nice though," Tom said.

"We're usually in the eighties or nineties by mid May," Eddie said.

"Don't rub it in."

Eddie chuckled. He changed the speed of the boat in hopes of attracting a dolphin or wahoo. Tom kept watch as he gazed over the open water. He looked forward occasionally, but most of the time he watched the teasers. Picking up the binoculars, Tom searched the water. He thought he saw something and he was right. Ahead of the boat, a flock of seabirds was diving into the water.

"We have birds ahead," Tom said as he handed the binoculars to Eddie. Tom pointed so Eddie could locate the flock of birds.

"We'll head that way," Eddie said. He picked up the microphone for the intercom and called down to the cockpit. After telling Kathy about the birds, he placed the microphone back in the holder.

Eddie trolled over the water the birds were diving in. Tom watched behind the boat, searching for the sign of a fish. He could see the dark bait-ball beneath the surface. Nudging Eddie, Tom pointed it out.

"The larger fish herd the baitfish into a large group. A bait-ball. Then they feed on the fringes. We try to make our lures look like a hurt fish," Eddie said.

Kim screeched as one of the rods went off. Tom watched her grab the rod from the holder. Kim let the fish take line until it hooked itself. Once the fish began stripping line from the reel, Kim handed the rod to Fran.

Tom looked at the sundeck. Jack, Brad, and Randy stood at the rail, watching Fran fight the fish. "I couldn't tell what it is," Tom called down.

Looking up, Randy said, "It doesn't matter to Fran. She just wanted to catch another fish."

Jenny gaffed the dolphin when Fran brought it along the starboard side. With Jenny's help, Fran held the fish so Randy and the others could see it.

"Great job, Fran," Randy called down to her. Fran smiled, giggling at her accomplishment.

The girls reset the lines. They rinsed down the cockpit after putting the fish in the hold.

"Jack, Fran noticed something. She told me that Sally's necklace looked like it couldn't be removed," Randy said.

Smiling, Jack said, "It can't be removed. It isn't a necklace, it's a collar."

Randy looked at Jack. He shrugged his shoulders. Jack and Brad chuckled. Smiling, Jack told Randy about his relationship with Sally.

"I've heard about things like that, but never met anyone who had that kind of relationship," Randy said. "So, Sally will do whatever you tell her to do?"

Jack nodded. He leaned over the rail and said, "Sally, get us coffee."

Sally nodded. She went into the cabin, grabbed the carafe, and took it to the bridge. Sally filled the boys' cups. She stood close to Jack smiling. "Is there anything else you want?" Sally asked Jack.

"Yeah, show me what you're wearing under your top," Jack said.

Grinning, Sally lifted her shirt to expose her bra. She held her top until Jack told her to put it down.

Running her fingertips over her gold collar, Sally said, "Is there anything else?"

"No, thanks for the coffee, Sweetie," Jack said.

Sally nodded. She looked at Randy and said, "I do what Jack tells me to do. He owns me. Jack also loves me and I love him." Turning around, Sally walked away.

Randy shook his head. "That's wild."

"Don't take our relationship the wrong way, Randy. Sally doesn't do anything she doesn't want to do," Jack said. "She is one of the strongest girls you'll ever meet. How many people do you know that will do what they want without any concern for how others feel about it?"

"Um, that would be none. I think everyone I know, or should I say knew, do what they think other people want them to do," Randy said.

"I had a little trouble accepting their relationship at first, but now I don't. Jack is right; Sally is a strong willed girl. She knows what she wants and doesn't hesitate in getting it," Brad said.

"I guess that includes who she showers with," Randy said.

Jack and Brad laughed. "I guess Fran told you about finding Sally and me in the shower this morning," Brad said.

Randy nodded. "Yeah, she told me. A few days ago, I would have gone off if I even thought about Fran doing something like that. Now I find it interesting. I guess all of you are very carefree about things like that."

"That's because it's about having fun. We like to have fun without worrying about someone trying to steal our girlfriends. Once you realize there is a difference between nudity, sex, and love, you can have a blast," Brad said. He glanced at Jack. "You also get to discover things you never thought about."

"You don't have to answer me, but what about sex? Do any of you ever—you know?" Randy said.

"We have, Randy. As Brad said, no one is worried about it. I love Sally. I also love seeing her have fun," Jack said.

Nodding, Randy said, "Yeah, I see what you mean. It was cool seeing Fran having fun sunning with the girls. It was also fun skinny-dipping with all of you. I don't know if I could handle it if Fran wanted to have sex with someone else though."

"That's something only you and Fran can decide. I'd guess most people aren't able to do some of the things we do together. We talk about everything so no one does anything they don't want to do," Jack said.

The boys heard shouting from the cockpit. Looking down, they saw Kim fighting a fish. Molly stood near Kim, urging her on. Kim managed to get the fish close enough for Kathy to see how large it was.

"That's kind of small. We should let it go," Kathy said.

"Okay, I'll pull it to the transom door," Kim said as she moved across the stern to the starboard side. Kathy opened the door so she could pull the fish into the cockpit. She removed the hook and slid the small dolphin back into the water.

"Do you guys want to fish?" Jenny said as she looked up at Brad, Jack, and Randy.

"Maybe later, we're having fun watching you guys," Randy said. "That's okay, isn't it?" he said to Jack and Brad.

Laughing, Jack and Brad nodded. They pulled deck chairs close to the rail so they could sit while watching the girls.

-------

"Laura, stop cleaning the room. They have maids for that," Marge said as she finished packing her suitcase.

"I know, but I hate seeing this room so messy," Laura replied. She finished straightening the end table next to the bed.

"We should grab a bite to eat before we leave. I want one of those grouper sandwiches," Anne said.

"Sounds good to me, Anne. I think I will have the shrimp salad," Ellen said.

The five women finished packing their bags. Don, Mark, Harry, Joel, and Jack Waters had left a few minutes earlier to catch their flight back to West Palm. The women would meet the plane for their trip home in a couple hours.

Marge called for the bell captain to get the luggage. When the man arrived, he piled the suitcases on a cart. Anne told the bell captain they would call for a car after lunch. She gave the man a tip, asking him to keep an eye on their luggage.

The women went to the patio. They found a table and sat down for lunch.

"This has been wonderful. I can't thank you enough for inviting me," Laura said.

"No problem, we enjoyed having you with us," Sarah said.

"I guess I have to start looking for a job now," Laura said.

"Didn't Joel tell you that you didn't have to work?" Ellen said.

"Yes, but I want to work. I wouldn't feel right having Joel take care of Molly and me. Besides, I love working," Laura said.

"What are you going to look for?" Sarah asked.

"I don't know yet. If I could, I would love to find another job like the one I had. Domestic work is what I really like to do. I didn't mind taking care of Mrs. Caldwell, but I would take a job that didn't include caring for anyone too," Laura said.

"What does Joel think about you taking a job cleaning houses?" Anne said.

Chuckling, Laura said, "It isn't up to him. If he doesn't like me because of what I love doing, maybe we aren't meant for one another. I don't think domestic work is degrading, not to me. Some people don't like taking care of a house—I do."

The server brought the women's food to the table. She refreshed their beverages, checked to make sure they were set, and left. Anne, Marge, Ellen, Sarah, and Laura began eating. They shared tastes of each other's meals, complementing the food.

"Did Joel say anything about what we all did together?" Marge asked.

Laura giggled. She covered her mouth with her hand. "He said he loved it! I loved it too. I have always wondered what an orgy would be like and now I know."

"Did you know Joel had bisexual tendencies?" Anne said.

"No, not until we talked about it. It doesn't bother me. I would be a hypocrite if it did. Frankly, I found it very exciting," Laura said.

Laughing, Anne said, "So did Marc."

"I'm going to miss you and Marge when you go back to Michigan. It isn't easy for me to make friends. Now I have four new friends that I wouldn't trade for the world." Laura chuckled. "Make that eight new friends. Besides that, Molly hasn't been this happy before. I can't tell you how much joy it brings me seeing her with your kids."

"We all feel that way, don't we?" Ellen said. The other woman nodded. "I hope you and Molly aren't strangers when we get back. You know you're always welcome to come over anytime you want to. So is Molly. Although I don't think that will be a problem. She is smitten with Eddie and Kathy."

"I'd say Molly is head over heels in love with Eddie and Kathy," Sarah said.

"Yeah, that she is," Laura said with a smile. "She doesn't talk about many other things. Molly has never been part of anything before. She never joined any of the clubs at school or really had a group of friends she hung around. Penny was her closest friend. When she dated Lenny, she and Penny didn't seem that close."

"That won't be a problem as long as Molly is dating Eddie and Kathy. Our kids don't do much without each other. I have a feeling the group is going to get larger when Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim move down here," Marge said.

"When are they coming down?" Sarah asked.

"They would stay here if they had their way, but they have to finish school. Even though they are home-schooled, they have to complete the required number of days. They also have to take exams to prove they are ready to go into the next grade," Anne said.

"Don and Marc have things they have to take care of in Michigan so we don't know how soon we'll move down here. Marge and I may come down with the kids before Don and Marc," Anne said.

"Let us know if we can help you. Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally could stay with us for a few weeks if they want to move after school is out," Ellen said.

"That goes for me too. We have a spare room," Sarah said.

"Thanks, we'll think about it. I know that Tomiko is ready for delivery. I also know the kids will want to be here for that," Marge said.

"Our kids are going to be busy with school too. They have their junior prom coming the first week of May. They get out for good the Friday before Memorial Day," Ellen said. "I heard the boy finally asked the girls to go to the prom. Jenny told me Kim prodded them to ask."

"Kathy told me the same thing. I guess Eddie and Brad assumed the girls would be going with them," Sarah said.

"It looks like we'll be going shopping soon. The girls will need dresses for the prom," Laura said. "Hopefully, I'll have found a job before then."

The women finished their lunches. Marge paid the check, telling the others Don insisted. They went to the pool, ordered cocktails and sat down to wait until it was time to head to the airport.

-------

The turbo-prop plane came in for a gentle landing. The pilot taxied to the gate, shutting down the engines. Don, Marc, Harry, Joel, and Jack Waters deplaned. They walked into the terminal to wait for their luggage.

"The women will be waiting at the airport," Don told the pilot. "I'll call them to give them your ETA."

"Thanks, Mr. Graham. We should be back here in three hours," The pilot said.

The men went into the bar to wait for the women. They ordered drinks from the cute waitress that came to the table.

"When are you heading back up north?" Harry asked.

"Tomorrow afternoon. The kids need to get back to school," Don said.

"Will you be back soon? I have a yacht that belongs to you," Harry said with a chuckle. "No rush, I have room for her."

"I'm not sure when the kids will be back. They have a lot of school to catch up on. It may be after they finish before they come back. If you have to get Tomiko out of your yard, you can have Jeri take her to my house," Don said.

Shaking his head, Harry said, "No, I'll keep her until they get back. I think they will want to be on her when we deliver Tomiko."

"Our kids are champing at the bit to move down here. I think they would blow off school if we'd let them," Marc said. "We have several things we have to attend to before we're ready to move."

"How are things going on your development?" Jack Waters asked.

"The contractor said everything is progressing on schedule. He said we should be ready to begin building houses by mid June. The utilities should be finished by then. I never knew how much was involved in building a subdivision," Don said.

"We hope to have a model built before June so we can start taking orders," Marc said.

"The kids sure seemed to have a good time at the tournament. I can't believe they won first place," Joel said.

"It doesn't surprise me. They worked very hard to win. They're successful because they don't follow the others. Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy have gone their own way since they began fishing," Jack Waters said.

"I have to say I'm impressed with all of them. Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim sure seem to fit in," Joel said.

"Our kids know they have a lot to learn, Joel," Marc said.

"Don't we all? I know that the more time I spend with this group, the more I learn. It was hard for me to accept the relationship Molly has with Eddie and Kathy, but now I can see it's healthy. I know Molly isn't my daughter, but I hope she'll be my step daughter soon," Joel said.

"Has Laura told you when you two are getting married yet?" Harry asked.

Chuckling, Joel said, "No, she won't talk about it until she finds a new job. I'm going to see what I can do to help her."

"Will you move into her house once you're married?" Jack Waters said.

"I'm not sure what we'll do. My condominium is too small for a family. I plan to leave that up to Laura," Joel replied.

All of the men laughed. "That sounds like a good idea, Joel," Harry said.

The men ordered another drink. They talked about the trip, commenting on how much fun they had while in the Bahamas.

The plane returned with the woman. The men went out to meet the plane and help with the luggage. When the women stepped off the plane, they all hugged their respective mates. The group stood on the tarmac talking about their flights for a few minutes. Then they headed for the cars. Don, Marge, Anne, and Marc took one of the cars. The rest of the group got into Harry's van.

Marge and Anne sat in the backseat after the men loaded the luggage.

"Honey, how would you feel about having a housekeeper down here?" Marge said as Don headed for the house.

"That's fine with me, Marge. I've been trying to convince you and Anne to let Marc and I hire someone to take care of our house in Michigan," Don said. He smiled at his wife. "Why do I feel as if you have something up your sleeve?"

Anne began chuckling. She put her hand on Marge's leg. "Are you thinking what I think you are?"

"Would someone mind telling me what is going on here," Marc said.

"I was thinking we could use someone to take care of the house. Laura mentioned that if she could do what she really wanted, she would do domestic work. So, I was thinking we could offer her a job," Marge said.

"I agree with Marge. Not only could she clean, Laura could bake for us occasionally. That, and she would be great to have at the house when we're gone and the kids are there," Anne said.

"Do you think she would want to work for friends?" Marc said.

"I don't know, but we can certainly ask her," Marge said.

The two couples talked about the possibility of having Laura work for them. The longer they talked, the more appealing the idea became. By the time they reached the house, Marge and Anne was excited.

Don and Marc carried their bags into the house with the help of the other men. Don mixed everyone a drink and they all went out to the patio. They sat around one of the tables sipping their drinks and talking about the trip back.

"Laura, Marge and I would like to talk to you for a moment if we could," Anne said.

Shrugging her shoulders, Laura said, "What is it?"

"Um, maybe it would be better if we went inside," Marge said.

Laura got up along with Marge and Anne. Then went into the house and sat in the kitchen.

"Laura, Anne and I know you want to find a job. We also know what you would like to do. We want to offer you a job taking care of our house," Marge said.

"We'll understand if you're uncomfortable working for us," Anne said.

Laura grinned at the two women. "I wouldn't be the least bit uncomfortable working for you. Even though we're friends, I feel I can do a great job for you. I won't give you a reason to have to be upset with me."

"Does that mean you're interested?" Marge said.

"Yes, I'm very interested. I assume it includes taking care of the guest house too," Laura said.

"No, that's the kids' responsibility. They don't need a housekeeper," Anne said.

"When do I start?" Laura said.

"You haven't asked how much we're willing to pay you," Marge said.

"I know you'll be fair. I made five hundred a week working for Mrs. Caldwell. As long as it's something close to that, I'll be fine," Laura said.

Marge and Anne smiled. They nodded, got up and gave Laura a hug. "Let's go outside," Marge said.

The three women went outside. Laura sat on Joel's lap, gave him and kiss and said, "Honey, I'm employed."

"You are? What are you going to be doing?" Joel said.

"I'm the new housekeeper for Marge and Anne. I'm going to be taking care of this place," Laura said.

Joel's smile faded. He helped Laura off his lap. Standing up, Joel said, "Can we talk for a minute?"

Joel led Laura down near the pool. They sat on two lounge chairs. Joel faced Laura, looking into her eyes.

"Laura, are you sure this is what you want to do? I'm sure we could find something in an office somewhere," Joel said.

"What's the matter, Joel? Don't you want your girlfriend to do domestic work? Do you think it's beneath you?" Laura said. "Before you answer, I want you to know that this is what I want to do. I like the work and I'm very good at it."

Joel didn't know what to say. He thought about his response carefully. After a moment, Joel said, "Laura, if this is what you want, I guess its fine with me. I just think you're capable of something better."

"I think you'd make a good accountant," Laura said.

"Maybe, but I like being an attorney," Joel said. He realized what he said and started to chuckle. "Okay, touché. Just make sure you're the best damn housekeeper there is."

"Honey, I already know I am," Laura said. "I don't want this to be something that comes between us, Joel. I know having a housekeeper as your wife isn't high on your list, but it's what I want. Please try to understand."

"Wife? I thought I was your boyfriend."

Giggling, Laura said, "I told you I wouldn't marry you until I found work. I have a job now. What's the matter, don't you want to marry me anymore?"

Joel jumped up. He snatched Laura into his arms. Hugging her, Joel began kissing her mouth. He swung her around while telling Laura he loved her.

"I guess things are going well for them," Ellen said.

"Yup, and it looks like we have a housekeeper," Anne said. "Don, we have to figure out how much we're going to pay Laura. She made five hundred dollars a week at her last job."

"We'll give her six hundred and benefits if she agrees to bake for us too," Don said.

Joel and Laura came back to the table. They sat down, taking a sip of their drinks.

"So, are you gainfully employed?" Sarah asked.

"I am if the offer still stands," Laura said.

"We want to offer you the job, Laura. If you'll accept six hundred a week with benefits we have a deal. Oh, by the way, you'll have to bake for us too," Don said.

Laura's eyes opened wide. She grinned as she nodded her head. Getting up, Laura gave each of her new employers a kiss and hug.

"You have made me very happy," Laura said while hugging Anne and Marge. Tears filled her eyes, rolling down her cheeks. "Whatever you need around here, I'll do it. I'll take care of the pool, the cabana, and the other building. If you want me to clean the guesthouse, I will. As for baking, you guys are going to need a gym."

Laura sat down. She took Joel's hand, holding it tightly. "So, when are you going to ask me to marry you?"

"I've been asking you to marry me," Joel stated.

"Well, you better think about asking me again," Laura said.

"What, here? Now?" Joel said. When Laura grinned, Joel got up and went into the house. He came back a few moments later.

"For a moment, I thought you ran away," Laura said.

Joel shook his head. He knelt in front of Laura, looking up into her eyes. "Laura Durham, will you marry me?" Joel said while holding her hand.

"Yes, Joel, I'll marry you. Just name the time and place," Laura said.

Joel slipped a diamond ring on Laura's finger. She looked at the ring and began crying. Sliding out of her chair, Laura hugged Joel. She kissed him for a moment before looking over his shoulder at the engagement ring.

"The ring is beautiful, Darling. I love it—I love you," Laura said. "How long have you had the ring?

"I bought it a few weeks ago. I've been carrying it around hoping you'd say yes," Joel said.

Smiling as she looked at the ring, Laura said, "I told you I would marry you when I found work. You could have given me the ring before now you know."

"I wanted to wait until you were sure. Now I think you are," Joel said. He gave Laura a tender kiss. "I love you. I plan on making you very happy."

"You already have, Joel. I love you too," Laura said.

The rest of the group began clapping. They all congratulated Laura and Joel. Laura received kisses. The men shook Joel's hand, but the women kissed and hugged him.

"You can have your reception here if you'd like," Don said. "I love throwing parties."

Looking at Don, Laura said, "Do I have to clean up after my reception?"

Everyone laughed. Don shook his head and said, "No, you don't have to clean up after your reception, Laura."

Don went inside to get more drinks. The group toasted Laura and Joel, wishing them well. The women gathered around another table to begin planning the wedding.

"Are you okay with us offering Laura a job?" Don asked Joel.

"Yes I'm fine with it. It took a few moments for me to get used to the idea, but if it's what Laura wants, I'll accept it," Joel said.

"It's what she knows and likes, Joel," Harry said. "What the hell is the sense in doing a job you don't like?"

"Yeah I know. I was thinking more about me than Laura," Joel said.

A loud boom disrupted the joyous mood. The group looked in the direction of the noise to see a large plume of smoke rising from the house next to the property. Don ran inside to call the fire department.

"What was that?" Jeri asked as she and April ran into the yard.

"Something exploded next door. Don is calling for help," Marc said.

The group watched the smoke thicken. Flames began to dance above the wall and foliage that separated the two yards. Don came out to watch with the others. A few moments later, the sound of sirens pierced the quiet area.

Don and the others walked out to the road. They could see the fully engulfed house as the fire spread.

"There isn't anyone home. I haven't seen the owners for several weeks," April said.

The fire trucks pulled into the driveway. Fire fighters piled out, preparing to fight the blaze. They connected a hose to the closest hydrant. Grabbing hoses, the fire fighters made their way toward the house.

It took an hour and a half to douse the flames. A fireboat sat in the canal, shooting water onto the remainder of the structure. Jeri went into the house, returning with bottled water. She offered the cold water to the fire fighters.

"What happened?" Don asked the fire chief.

"We don't know yet, but things don't look right. There was a strong smell of gasoline. The fire spread very quickly so we will do an investigation," the fire chief said. "Have any of you seen anyone suspicious around here?"

"No, we haven't. It's hard to see the house from ours, but we haven't seen anyone around for several weeks," April said.

"Do you know the owners?" the fire chief asked.

"No, we never met them. They kept to themselves," Jeri said.

"Okay, I'll find out who they are. In the meantime, stay away from the house," the fire chief said.

"Thanks for the information. I'm glad it didn't spread to our house," Don said.

The group watched the fire fighters packing up their equipment. After a few minutes, they all went back to the patio.

"How are things coming with the yacht?" Anne asked Jeri and April.

"We're getting very close. April and I have to review a few more resumes. We plan to keep interviewing for crewmembers. Have you decided when the boat will be delivered?" Jeri said.

"We're going to wait until the kids can be here, Jeri. They will want to be there," Marge said. "Harry said we can keep the yacht at his boatyard until then."

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you because of all the excitement. Laura is going to work here. She will be taking care of the house for us," Marge said.

"That's great," April said. She giggled and smiled at Laura. "Are you going to bake too?"

"Yes, I plan to bake. I will take care of your apartment for you if you'd like me to," Laura said. "I will have plenty of time and I like to be busy."

Jeri looked at April. The two girls shrugged their shoulders. "That would be nice, Laura. That is as long as Marge and Anne don't mind. Hopefully, we won't be here too much. We hope to be out on charters."

"Okay, I'll plan on cleaning your place too. Did you see what I got today? Joel and I are getting married," Laura said as she held out her left hand.

"Wow, that's beautiful. Congratulations to both of you. When is the wedding?" April said.

"Tomorrow if I had my way," Joel said. Everyone laughed at what he said. "We haven't set a date yet, but I hope it will be soon."

"I'd love a June wedding. I don't know if we can put it together that quickly though," Laura said.

"Sure we can. Ellen and I will help you. Marge and Anne will help when they get down here from Michigan," Sarah said.

The women sat at one of the tables. They talked about the wedding, making plans for the upcoming event. The men went inside to get fresh drinks.

"Joel, do you know anyone that can look into who owns the house next door? I am concerned there may be an arsonist in the area," Don said.

"Yes, I know a few people that can help me. A friend of mine works for the county," Joel said. "He can see if there are any reports of suspicious fires in the area."

"Good. Keep me informed," Don said.

The group of men went outside. They saw Jeri and April cleaning the pool. Marc walked to the pool to see why the two girls were cleaning it.

"What's up? Don't we have a service to clean the pool?" Marc asked.

"Yes, but they won't be here for a few days. There is a lot ash in the pool so we're cleaning it. April and I don't mind," Jeri said.

"Is there anything you two need? We're heading north tomorrow," Marc said.

"We have everything we need and more," April said. "You and Don are more than generous."

Smiling, Marc said, "We are entrusting the welfare of our children to you two. We want to make sure you don't lack anything you need. In a couple months, the kids are going to be moving down here. We hope that you'll keep an eye on them when we're not here."

"That goes without saying. Jeri and I will make sure they're safe, Marc. You know, they really don't need much supervision. They carry themselves better than many of the adults we know," April said.

"I know, but they are still young. We don't worry about them getting into trouble, but we feel they are too young to live down here without someone watching over them," Marc said. "We trust you two. Don, Marge, Anne, and I will feel better knowing you're watching out for them. Thanks."

April and Jeri went back to cleaning the pool. Marc sat watching them. He thought about how it would be once the families made the move to Florida. The past months were a whirlwind. The families went from blue-collar middle class to wealthy overnight. At times, it was more than Marc could comprehend. Fortunately, Don managed to keep the two families grounded in reality. He was the leader of the group, something no one questioned. Don always asked for the other's opinions, but he made the majority of the major decisions.

"Are you okay?" Anne said as she took the lounge next to Marc.

"I'm fine, Sweetie. I'm just sitting here thinking about the past few months," Marc said.

"It's been quite a ride, hasn't it?" Anne said.

"No shit! Eight months ago, we were trying to make ends meet. Now we spend money as if it will never end. I know your brother knows what he's doing, but sometimes I worry about being broke again."

"Honey, as long as I have you, I don't care if we're rich or broke. We did fine before," Anne said.

Marc chuckled. "I don't think we're going to be broke anytime soon. The last time Don and I went over the business plan for the subdivision things looked great. If everything works out as planned, we stand to make over twenty million. Don and I are looking into developing some retail property around the sub. We put in an offer on two fifteen acre parcels. We're thinking about putting in strip malls."

Anne put her hand on Marc's arm. "I know you and Don will do great. Marge and I have all the confidence in the world in you two."

"Most of it is Don you know. He is the one that keeps all of us on the straight and narrow. Your brother has a knack for foreseeing opportunities. I would have never thought about building a subdivision or buying a golf course."

Smiling, Anne said, "Don't short yourself, Marc. After all, wasn't it your idea to invest in a few of those stocks we made a killing on when we bought and sold them?"

"Yeah, I guess it was. I talked with Sam, and he helped me, but I did the research," Marc said. "I just worry that you think I'm..."

"Honey, I love you! I think you're just as smart as my brother is. This is a family. We're all in this together. There isn't one of us that is more important than the other."

"That's not entirely true, Anne. Don is the leader of our families—he always has been. Don will always be the head of our families. I don't mind at all. We need the structure if we're going to live the way we've decided," Marc said.

Anne got up. She sat on Marc's lap, putting her arms around his neck. They began kissing each other while hugging. Anne moved her mouth to Marc's ear. She sucked on his earlobe for a moment.

"I think you should take me inside and make love to me," Anne said.

Marc chuckled. Anne got off his lap so he could stand up. Marc put his arms around Anne, picked her up, and put her over his shoulder. She giggled, kicking her legs. When Marc carried Anne past the others, she squealed and said, "I'm getting laid!"

The rest of the group laughed as they watched the couple disappear into the house.

-------

"This is the life, isn't it?" Tom said to Eddie.

"Yeah it is! I've had a blast the last few days. I'm glad you guys love to fish as much as we do," Eddie said.

The two boys stood watch from the tuna tower. They kept the boat on course over the area the birds dove for baitfish. Fran had caught two fish, a dolphin and a wahoo. Tom and Eddie heard her screeching while fighting the fish.

"I think Molly has taken to you, Tom," Eddie said.

Tom jerked his head around, looking at Eddie. "Um, I haven't done anything, Eddie."

Placing his hand on Tom's shoulder, Eddie chuckled. "Hey, don't worry, I think it's great."

"Just as long as you know I'm not trying to steal your girlfriend from you and Kathy."

"Shit, Tom, we don't own Molly. We love her. Kathy and I want Molly to be happy. As far as we're concerned, that's most important. We told you about what happened to her. Molly was smarting from the break up with her ex-boyfriend. Kathy and I wanted to let her know she had friends. Things just progressed from there."

"I like Molly. I like all you guys. Kim keeps telling me Molly is falling for me. I don't really think so."

"Molly is falling for you, but don't worry, she won't do anything that will come between you and Kim," Eddie said. "She knows how you two feel about each other."

"You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt either of them, don't you?" Tom said.

"If you ask me, the only way you're going to hurt Molly is by ignoring her. One of these days, the five of us should get together. I could use some help," Eddie said with a chuckle.

"I know Kim would enjoy it. She told me she would like to do something like that with you guys." Tom laughed. "It's kind of weird talking like this, isn't it?"

"Weird? No, I don't think it's weird at all. How many people can talk about sharing their girlfriends without getting pissed? Tom, I think it's great that we've all become close enough to talk openly," Eddie said.

"I agree; it is great that we can talk. I can't wait until we move down here."

"Hey, do you guys want a break?" Kim said over the intercom. "We're ready to let you fish for a while."

Eddie grabbed the microphone. "Sure, send someone up to take over."

A few moments later, Kathy and Kim stood at the base of the ladder to the tuna tower. Tom came down first. Kathy went up to take over at the helm.

"Having fun?" Tom said as he gave Kim a hug.

"I'm having a blast! How about you? Are you enjoying yourself too?" Kim said.

"You know I am." Tom kissed Kim before releasing her.

Eddie came down. He stepped off the ladder so Kim could go up. "You should wear a skirt," Eddie said to Kim as she ascended the ladder.

Kim stopped. Looking down, she said, "You'd love that, wouldn't you?"

"Hell yeah, what guy in his right mind wouldn't like looking up your skirt?" Eddie said.

Giggling, Kim pulled her sweatpants down enough for Eddie and Tom to see one of her butt cheeks. She wiggled her bottom, pulled up her pants, and finished climbing the ladder. When she reached the platform, Kim looked over the railing. She lifted her top, exposing her braless breasts.

"What was that all about?" Kathy said when Kim turned around.

"I was just teasing the boys," Kim said.

"That's a good way to get laid," Kathy said with a chuckle.

"Cool, I'll have to do it more often then," Kim replied with a giggle.

"You're a girl after my own heart, Kim. I love teasing the boys," Kathy said.

"Me too! Have you looked for a dress for the junior prom yet?"

"No, not yet. Jenny, Molly, and I will start shopping this week. I think Jenny's mom will be able to help us find a good deal," Kathy said.

"It's getting warm. I wish I had my bikini up here," Kim said.

"Just go topless. I won't mind," Kathy said with a grin.

Kim moved behind Kathy. Reaching around her body, she put her hands over Kathy's breasts. Kim leaned forward, kissing Kathy's neck. "I won't mind if you take your top off either."

Giggling, Kathy raised her arms. Kim pulled her top off, returning her hands to Kathy's breasts. "Mmmm, that's much better," Kim said.

Kim removed her top. She took Kathy's shirt, went to the rail and looked down. Jenny, Fran, Molly, and Sally sat on the sundeck watching the boys in the cockpit. "Hey, one of you, catch these for me," Kim said. Fran looked up and Kim dropped the two shirts. Fran giggled as she caught the tops.

"Is that it or are you going to throw down your pants too?" Fran said as she looked up at Kim.

Grinning, Kim stepped out of her boat shoes. She shucked her sweatpants, tossing them down to Fran. Kim stood at the rail in her pink bikini panties. "Want Kathy's pants too?" Kim said.

By this time, everyone had their eyes trained on the tuna tower. Kim helped Kathy out of her sweatpants and tossed them down to Fran. The two girls giggled as they wiggled their butts. Sally, Molly, Jenny, and Fran laughed. The boys in the cockpit cheered.

"You are so bad, Kim," Kathy said.

"Who me? I'm just having fun," Kim replied. She grinned at Kathy. "You don't seem to mind."

Kathy shook her head. "No, this is fun." She reached out, running her hand over Kim's exposed breast. "Mmmm, so is this."

"Mine aren't as big as Molly's," Kim said.

"You have nice boobs." Kathy leaned over, kissing one of Kim's breasts. Kathy licked Kim's nipple and giggled. "They taste good too."

Kim returned the act. Kathy kept one hand on the wheel, watching where she was going, while holding Kim to her breast with the other hand. Kim nipped Kathy's nipple before standing up again.

The two girls giggled. Kathy faced forward while Kim faced aft. "You are really open, aren't you, Kim?"

"Yeah, I guess so. I like fooling around with you. I hope you don't mind," Kim said as she giggled.

"You know I don't! I believe in equality when it comes to sex and fun," Kathy said.

"I like girls, but I don't think I feel the same as you do. For me, it's about sex and getting off. I know you love Molly and that your relationship is more than just sex," Kim said.

"You're right about that. I love Eddie the same way though. It's weird, isn't it?" Kathy said.

Kim shook her head. She was about to respond, but she saw a dark shadow following one of the teasers. Pointing, Kim yelled, "There's a fish following the starboard teaser—the one on the outrigger!"

Brad spotted the fish. He grabbed a pitch rod and handed it to Randy. "Here you go, catch that fish," Brad said.

Randy fed the bait to the fish while Brad tended to the teaser. When the fish took the bait, Brad told Randy to wait for a moment. The line tightened so Randy began reeling. The fish made the first of several hard runs.

On the sundeck, Fran bounced on the balls of her feet. Like Kim and Kathy, the rest of the girls were wearing nothing but their panties. Fran's breasts jiggled as she moved. She yelled down to Randy, encouraging him. Randy didn't look up. He paid attention to the fish he was fighting.

"This feels like a nice one," Randy said.

"It is really fighting hard, isn't it?" Brad said.

"No kidding!"

The fish made a jump. Randy stopped reeling for a moment to watch the large sailfish dancing across the surface. Brad told him not to allow the line to go slack.

"You might want to move to the chair, Randy. That fish is going to wear you out," Eddie said.

Brad and Eddie helped Randy get into the fighting chair. They stood on either side of Randy, clipping the reel to the straps. Once he settled in, Randy reeled down on the fish. "Use your legs," Brad said.

Randy listened to Brad's instructions. Tom ran into the cabin to get his camera. When Tom returned, he began shooting pictures of Randy. Turning around, Tom pointed his camera up at the sundeck. Sally, Jenny, Molly, and Fran posed for him. On the tuna tower, Kim and Kathy also posed. Tom adjusted his zoom so he framed Molly in the viewfinder. He took several shots of the grinning red head. Changing his angle, Tom zeroed in on Kim. He took a few pictures to add to his growing collection of photographs of his girlfriend. Even though Kim and Tom were cousins, he didn't let that interfere with his feelings.

Kim smiled at Tom. She knew he was taking her picture. Kim posed, placing one hand behind her head as she thrust her naked chest out. Tom lowered the camera. He smiled at Kim and mouthed, "I love you." Kim nodded knowingly.

Randy fought the fish to the stern of the boat. Jack and Eddie managed to get a hold of the leader and the fish's bill. Brad placed a tag in the back of the fish and then wrenched the hook from its mouth. Eddie pulled the fish to the starboard side. He held the sailfish's head underwater until it revived and then swan away.

"That was amazing! Thanks for letting me catch the sailfish," Randy said as he unclipped the reel and got out of the chair.

"We're glad you had fun," Eddie said.

"Why do you tag the fish when you're not in a tournament?" Randy asked.

"We record the tag information so the fish can be traced. There is a database online where you can look up the tag information. It lets you know where the fish had been caught before," Brad said.

"Have you ever caught a tagged fish?" Randy said.

"No, not yet. If we do, we'll look up the information. Fish migrate many miles. The next time this fish is caught, it may be a thousand miles from here," Brad said.

"I wish Fran had captured that on tape. I didn't think about it until now," Randy said.

"We have the cockpit cameras on. It was recorded," Eddie said.

"Great, you'll have to send me a copy," Randy said.

"Naw, you can look at it when you and Fran come back to show us the edited tape you guys took," Brad said.

"That'll work for me," Randy said. "Are you guys serious about producing your own show?"

"I think it's a good idea. Sally is the one to ask about that. She seems to have the idea as well as the passion," Jack said.

"You know damn well that Sally wants to do it, Jack. I happen to agree with her. It's a great idea. Not so much for the money though. I love the idea of promoting the sport," Brad said.

"You'll have to find sponsors to get the program aired," Randy said.

"We'll let Sally handle that part of it. She can be very resourceful when she puts her mind to it," Tom said. "My sister has a way of getting what she wants."

"You don't have to tell me!" Jack said with a chuckle.

"Hey, let's go swimming before lunch," Jenny called down to the boys. She turned around, looking up at the tuna tower. "Kathy, find a place we can swim after the guys pull the lines."

"Will do, Jen. There's an island over there," Kathy said as she pointed at one of the small islands that made up the Bahamas.

Kathy turned her attention to the cockpit. She watched the boys clearing the lines. Kim stood next to Kathy watching the action below. A few moments later, Eddie and Tom raised the outriggers. They fastened the clamps to hold them in place. Tom looked up, waving at Kim and Kathy.

"I guess that means we're ready to go," Kathy said. She turned around, setting a course to the small sandy island. When the boat was in five feet of water, Kathy lowered the anchor.

Kim and Kathy went down to the sundeck. "We're here," Kathy said. "I'm ready to take a dip."

The girls went down to the cockpit. They shed their panties while the boys began stripping. Jenny opened the transom door so they could jump into the crystal clear ocean. One by one, the girls jumped in. They swam toward the island, stopping when they could stand up. The boys dived in, swimming over to the girls.

Randy moved close to Fran. He put his arms around her, pulling her close. "Did you see me fighting that sailfish?" Randy said.

"I did. You looked like you were having fun," Fran said as she pressed her chest against Randy's chest.

"I had fun too. I just love how carefree the girls are," Fran said. "Where is the green monster?"

Randy laughed. He kissed Fran and then said, "I tossed him overboard. The green monster is gone for good."

"I hope so, Baby. Things are so much better now. It's funny, but we have learned about ourselves from a bunch of kids," Fran said.

"Yeah, I know we have. It's still hard for me to think of them as kids," Randy said. "Hey, we're not that much older than they are you know. We're only twenty two."

"We'll be twenty three in a few months, Baby," Fran said.

"So what, we're still not that much older," Randy said.

Fran and Randy swam over to where the rest of the group stood in waist deep water. Sally giggled as she splashed water at Fran and Randy. Randy splashed back. The group began horsing around. Jack dunked Jenny while Brad tossed Sally. After a few minutes, they stopped to rest.

"I'm hungry," Molly said. "Let's go back to the boat. I'll fix lunch."

"I'll help you, Molly," Kim said.

They swam to the boat. The girls climbed out, followed by the boys. Sally giggled, telling the boys they waited so they could see the girls' butts.

"Is that a problem?" Tom said.

"No, you know I love it," Sally replied.

The group rinsed the saltwater from their bodies. Jenny and Sally passed out towels while Eddie and Tom retrieved the deck chairs. Once they were dry, Kim and Molly went into the cabin to make lunch.

"We should head for home," Eddie said after lunch. "I want to get back before dark."

"Can't we just stay here for a few more days?" Kim said. "When we get back, we have to go home to Michigan."

"I don't care, but I think your parents would have a problem with it," Eddie said. "Besides, Randy and Fran have to get back so they can go to New York."

"Yeah, I know they would. I'm having a great time and I don't want it to end," Kim said.

"We'll be back before you know it," Jack said.

The group gathered their clothes. They went below to put on shorts and tee shirts for the ride back. Eddie and Tom went to the bridge, started the engines, and got ready to leave. Tom pulled the anchor so they could be on their way.

The girls sat on the sundeck enjoying the warm afternoon sun. The guys stayed in the enclosed flying bridge, watching ahead of the boat. They talked about the great time they had at the tournament. On the sundeck, the girls talked about the upcoming junior prom. Kathy, Jenny, and Molly told the other girls the style of dresses they wanted to wear.

Several hours later, Eddie turned into the inlet. He maneuvered the boat toward the house. When Eddie made the final turn into the channel that ran behind the house, Jack spotted the burnt out remains of the mansion next door.

"Holy shit, look at that!" Jack said. "I wonder what happened."

Eddie slowed the boat, holding his position in the channel. The group stared at the blackened walls of what once was a beautiful home. The girls stood on the sundeck, staring at the ruins. Eddie moved the boat to the seawall. Jack and Tom went down to tend the lines. They secured the boat to the pilings while Eddie shut it down.

The teens, along with Randy and Fran, left the boat. They walked to the house to see their parents and find out about the fire that destroyed the house next door.

"Hi, Dad, what happened?" Kim said as she gave her father a hug.

"We don't really know. We were sitting out here and heard a loud explosion. The next thing we knew, that place was up in flames," Don replied.

"Was anyone hurt?" Jack asked.

"No, there wasn't anyone home. The fire chief thinks the fire is suspicious. It may have been arson," Don said.

The group greeted their parents, sharing hugs. Fran and Randy stood aside, watching the interaction between the kids they'd spent the week with and the adults that made their fishing possible.

"I can see why the kids are the way they are. I don't think I was ever that close to my parents," Randy said.

"I know. It's wonderful, isn't it?" Fran replied as she slipped her arm around Randy.

Don walked up to Randy and Fran. He asked them if they had a good time and if they had everything they needed for the pilot.

"Yes, we have hours of tape to edit. I think we can get two shows out of what we have," Randy said. "As far as having a good time, we had a blast. We hate to leave."

"I'll have Jeri drive you to the airport. The boys can help you with your gear," Don said.

Don told Tom and Jack to help Randy and Fran. Eddie and Brad also helped carry the cases of equipment to the car. Once they loaded the gear, Randy and Fran went to the yard to say goodbye to everyone. Fran promised to keep in touch and send copies of the pilot to the teens. The teens walked Randy and Fran out to the car, waving as Jeri drove away.

When they went back to the patio, Molly went over to her mom. She babbled about the trip, telling her mom everything she did. Laura chuckled and reminded her daughter she was there too.

Joel came over. He put his arm around Laura, smiling at Molly's excitement. Laura finally put her hand up to silence her daughter.

"Molly, Joel asked me to marry him. I said yes," Laura said.

"I know, you told me that you guys were getting married when you found a job," Molly replied.

Chuckling, Laura lifted her left hand. She let her fingers dangle, showing off her new diamond ring. Molly gasped. She looked up at her mom's face and said, "When did you get that?" Molly took her mom's hand, pulling it close to get a better look at the ring.

"Joel gave it to me today. When we got back, he knelt and asked me to marry him. When I said yes, he went to his luggage to get the ring." Laura looked into Joel's eyes. "It seems he's been carrying it around for a couple weeks."

"So, I guess you decided not to wait until you found a job then," Molly said.

"No, I have a new job, Honey," Laura said.

"Really? Where are you working? When did you find out? I didn't know you were looking yet," Molly said rapid fire.

"I'm going to be working here. Marge and Anne hired me to take care of their house," Laura said.

Molly's mouth fell open. She looked at her mom, raising her eyebrows. It took a second for what Laura said to sink in. Molly thought about the fact her mom would be the housekeeper for her friends. She wasn't sure how she felt about it.

"Is there a problem with what I'll be doing?" Laura asked.

While Molly culled over her mother's question, Kim and Sally came over. They grabbed Molly and gave her a hug.

"Did your mom tell you she will be working here? I think it is so cool! You can come over all the time," Kim said.

"This is going to be great! I can't wait until we live here," Sally said.

Molly started to smile. She realized her fears that her friends would think less of her because her mom would be the housekeeper were unfounded. If anything, it looked as if it would strengthen their friendship.

"No, Mom, I think it's great. I'm happy if you are," Molly said.

"I am happy, Honey. I have a job doing what I enjoy," Laura said.

"When is the wedding?" Molly asked with a giggle.

"We're thinking about June, but probably July. There is so much to do to get ready," Laura said.

"I'll help you, Mom."

"Thanks, Molly. I'm going to need all the help I can get. Don said we could have the wedding here," Laura said.

Molly hugged her mom. She kissed Laura's cheek and said, "I love you, Mom."

Laura wrapped her arms around Molly. Tears formed in her eyes as she held her daughter as tightly as she could. "I love you too, Molly."

Molly moved away from her mom. She hugged Joel, smiling when he hugged her back. Looking up into his eyes, Molly said, "You're going to be my dad—aren't you?"

"You bet I am, Honey." Tears filled Joel's eyes too. He hugged Molly, kissing the top of her head. "I'll be very proud to have you as my daughter."

"Are you going to give me a brother?" Molly said. She fought the urge to giggle.

Laura laughed and said, "Honey, Joel and I haven't talked about having children."

"I know. I was just kidding," Molly said.

Sally giggled and said, "If you want a brother, I'll let you use mine."

The group went over to where the others sat around the tables. Molly sat on Eddie's lap. She told Eddie and Kathy what her mom said about the job.

Eddie smiled. He put his arms around Molly's waist, pulling her back to his chest. "We heard about it," Eddie said.

Don ordered pizza and salad. The group sat on the patio eating the food while they talked about the plans for the next day as well as the upcoming months. It was close to ten o'clock when Harry said it was time to go. He reminded his children they had school in the morning.

For the next half hour, the teens hugged and told each other goodbye. Kim, Sally, Kathy, Jenny, and Molly all agreed to call as often as they could. Kim and Sally made the other girls promise to send pictures of the junior prom.

Jack, Tom, Eddie, and Brad shook hands. Eddie and Brad assured Jack and Tom they would take care of cleaning the boat. Sally gave Brad a hug. She told him she couldn't wait to get back. Jenny did the same with Jack.

Like the teens, the parents said their goodbyes. Marge and Anne told Laura they would do what they could to help with the wedding. Don gave Laura a set of key to the house. He told her she could buy anything she needed to do her job. Laura thanked Don, Marc, Marge, and Anne for the opportunity.

Harry, Ellen, Jack, Sarah, Laura, and Joel, gathered their children. They all headed for Harry's van and Joel's car. The rest of the people stood on the driveway, waving as Harry pulled away.

"We have to get our things off the boat," Jack said. "What time are we flying out in the morning?"

"Our plane leaves at nine, Jack. We have to be ready to go by eight o'clock at the latest," Don said.

The teens went to the boat. They gathered the things they needed to take back to Michigan with them. Kim and Sally changed the sheets on their berths. They put the dirty sheets on the washer, leaving a note that they were sorry they didn't wash them. Once they had their things, the teens left for the house.

Kim, Sally, Jack, and Tom told their parents goodnight. They went to the guesthouse, went inside and began to pack for the trip back to Michigan. Kim and Sally helped their brothers, placing their things in the two suitcases they would take home. After packing, the teens took showers and went to bed.

Chapter 39


Marge walked into the guesthouse at six o'clock the next morning. She went to one of the bedrooms, waking Jack and Sally. While the two sleepy teens got up, Marge went to wake Tom and Kim.

"It's time to get up, kids. We have to get the car loaded," Marge said as she stood smiling down at Kim. Tom groaned as he covered his head with a pillow. "Come on, Tom, time to rise and shine."

Kim sat on the edge of the bed, scratching her breasts through the tee shirt she wore. Reaching behind her, Kim shook Tom's shoulder.

"Breakfast will be ready in a half hour so don't dawdle," Marge said.

Tom sat up. He stretched his arms above his head as he let out a groan. "It was weird sleeping in a normal bed," Tom said.

Marge chuckled as she left the room. She checked to make sure Jack and Sally were up before heading back to the main house.

Sally gave Jack a hug. "Are you going to take a shower with me this morning?" Sally said. She pulled her sleep shirt over her head, tossing it on the bed.

Jack removed his boxers. Smiling, he watched Sally peel her panties down her legs. The two of them went into the bathroom. They took turns on the toilet before getting into the shower.

Kim and Tom showered together too. While they washed each other, Kim and Tom shared soft kisses. Tom wrapped his arms around Kim, pulling her against his body.

"This trip has been great, hasn't it, Baby?" Tom said while running his hands over Kim's bottom.

"Yeah, I hate having to go back to Michigan. It's been a while since we had friends—friends we weren't going out with. It was before we moved into the new house," Kim said.

"If you think about it, we didn't really have many good friends before we moved either. The four of us hung around together," Tom said.

"That's true. Things are so much better now, aren't they?"

"I think they are. We have good friends we can do things with now. I have you," Tom said and then he kissed the top of Kim's head.

Kim sighed as she wrapped her arms around Tom. Looking up, Kim smiled. Neither of them said anything, they didn't need to. Slowly, Kim and Tom released each other. They finished their shower, got out, and got ready for the day.

Sally and Jack packed the last few items they planned to take back to Michigan in a duffle bag. In the hallway, they saw Tom and Kim coming out of their room. The four of them headed to the house to eat breakfast.

"Good morning, kids. Did everyone sleep well?" Don said as the teens walked into the kitchen.

"I did," Jack said. "I would have slept better if Sally didn't snore so loud."

Sally giggled and smacked Jack's arm playfully. "I wouldn't have snored if you would have taken care of me. You just fell asleep."

"I was tired," Jack said. He gave Sally a pat on her butt.

"Okay, I guess I'll forgive you," Sally said.

"What smells so good?" Kim asked as she took a seat at the table.

"Cinnamon rolls. Laura came over this morning and baked a batch for us," Anne said.

"Where is she? Is Molly here too?" Kim said.

"Laura is upstairs. I think she is cleaning the bedrooms. Molly didn't come with her. Laura said she was still in bed," Anne replied.

Laura came into the kitchen. Checking the oven, she removed a pan of fresh baked cinnamon rolls. Laura placed the pan on the stove to cool. Jack and Tom fixed coffee for themselves as well as Kim and Sally. They joined the rest of the family at the table.

Once the rolls cooled, Laura transferred them to a platter. She placed the platter on the table and said, "Now, what would you like for breakfast? I can make eggs, pancakes, or waffles, that is if you have a waffle maker."

"We don't have a waffle iron, but I'll make sure we get one. I love waffles," Marc said.

"I'll have cereal," Kim said. "You don't have to make anything."

"Honey, I don't mind at all. I'll scramble eggs and make pancakes," Laura said.

Marge offered to help Laura, but she said she didn't need help. Laura went to work, whipping up a batch of batter and scrambled eggs. A few minutes later, she served the families.

"We're not going to eat unless you join us, Laura," Don said. "Why don't you give Jeri and April a call? There is more than enough food for everyone. Then, sit down."

Laura called Jeri. Then she set additional places at the table. She sat down between Don and Jack. Marc passed the bowl of eggs after placing some on his plate. The group began to eat while talking about when they would return. Jeri and April, still wearing their shorty pajamas, came in to join the group.

"Jeri, I would like you to put Laura on the payroll for the charter business. That way she will be able to join the insurance group," Don said.

After chewing a mouthful of cinnamon roll, Jeri said, "Does that mean we get to use her baking skills on Tomiko?"

Jack smiled. "I don't see why not. It would be a benefit for our clients."

"I'll do whatever you want me to," Laura said.

"I just hope we have enough to keep you busy, Laura," Anne said.

"I don't think that will be a problem at all. This is a very large house. I will also take care of the pool house and the other building. If you'd like, I can help with the boats too," Laura said.

"Are you going to take care of our house too? You know, the guesthouse," Kim said.

"No, you kids have to take care of it yourselves," Marge said.

"When do you guys plan to move down?" April said.

"As soon as we're finished with school—I hope," Kim said. Sally, Tom, and Jack agreed with Kim.

"It will probably be around Memorial Day. I think Dianne will have the kids ready by then." Anne smiled and looked at the teens. "If you kids don't miss anymore days and go on Saturdays, you will be able to get the required number of days in."

"I'll go seven days a week if it will get us down here faster," Jack said.

"No kidding, so would I," Tom said.

"It won't be long, kids. We'll be back before you know it," Don said. "You need to concentrate on your studies so you don't have to attend summer school when we do move down here."

"When you get back, we'll take delivery of Tomiko," Jeri said. "She'll be finished and ready to go by then."

"How are we doing with selecting a charter broker?" Jack said.

"April and I have narrowed it down to three firms. All three are well known and can do a good job for us. When you get back down here we'll meet with them so you guys can decide," Jeri replied.

"Why wait for us? We don't really know anything about it and we'll probably just go along with your recommendation. What do you guys think?" Kim said as she glanced at Tom, Jack, and Sally.

"I agree with Kim. I think Jeri and April should take care of hiring a broker. If they don't work out, we can always change to a different company," Sally said.

Tom and Jack nodded. Jeri smiled and said, "Okay, if that's what you want, that's what April and I will do. Would you mind if we showed the brokers Tomiko before she's delivered?"

Tom, Jack, Sally, and Kim nodded their heads. "That would be fine with us. The faster we can get Tomiko listed, the faster we can charter her," Kim said.

"Jeri and I want to watch the reactions of the brokers when they tour the boat. If a broker doesn't like the boat, they won't recommend it. Even if they try to hide their feelings, body language will give them away," April said.

"What will you charge for a charter?" Laura asked Jeri.

"We'll charge as much as we can, you know, whatever the market will bear. The broker will help us set the prices for charters. Normally, there is a starting point and then we negotiate from there. It depends on the menu, services requested, and where the client wants to go. I think we'll be in the neighborhood of one hundred to one hundred twenty five thousand as a starting point for a seven-day charter," Jeri said.

"Oh my, I didn't realize a charter cost that much," Laura said.

"Some charters, the ones on the mega yachts, cost twice that and more," April said.

"Based on my calculations, we'll need five or six charters a year to break even. After that, we should start making a profit," Jeri said.

"Is Molly excited about the junior prom?" Kim asked Laura.

"I think so. She said she wanted to shop for a dress next week," Laura replied.

"Is she going with Eddie and Kathy?" Marge asked.

Laura chuckled as she nodded her head. "I still can't understand the relationship those three share, but Molly seems happy about the arrangement," Laura said.

"I think it's cool," Sally offered.

The group finished their breakfasts. Laura cleared the table while Don, Marge, Marc, Anne, and their children prepared to leave. Jack and Tom took the bags to the Suburban while Kim and Sally called Jenny and Kathy to say goodbye.

Jeri drove the two families to the airport. Don gave her a few last minute instructions about the house, telling Jeri to keep her eye on what happened to the house that burned.

"I'll see you in a few weeks," Jeri said before the families boarded the private plane.

"It won't be soon enough for me," Tom said. "The more I think about it, the more I would be willing to go to summer school so we could move right away."

"I would rather finish school up north so we have the summer free," Jack said. "I want to move too, but it doesn't make sense to do it too quickly. The weeks will go fast."

Jack and Sally took their seats behind Tom and Kim. Don, Marge, Marc, and Anne sat in front of the teens. Once they settled in, the pilot taxied to the runway. A few minutes later, the plane was airborne. Three and a half hours later, the plane landed.

Jack and Tom helped their fathers transfer the luggage from the plane to the car. The group piled into Tom's Expedition and headed for home. They unloaded their things and took them into the house.

"We need to clean this place," Marge told Kim and Sally after they put everything away. "You girls can take care of upstairs while Anne and I will clean downstairs. Tom and Jack can take care of the pool."

Don and Marc helped Jack and Tom clean the pool area. Then, the men went to help the women in the house. Tom and Jack went upstairs to help their sisters.

"What can I do?" Jack asked Sally when he walked into the bedroom they shared.

Giggling, Sally pulled her top up. "Does this give you any ideas?" Sally said.

Leaning over, Jack kissed each of Sally's breasts. He used his fingers to pull her bra down so he could reach her nipples. Sally put one hand on Jack's head while holding her top up with the other.

"Later, Sweetie, we have work to do," Jack said as he stood up. He took Sally's face between his hands and kissed her. "When we're finished, I'm going to have you suck my cock and then I'm going to fuck you."

"We can do that now and clean later—can't we?" Sally said.

"No, we have to clean first," Jack replied.

"You're weird. I don't know any boy that would rather clean house than get a blowjob and a fuck," Sally said with a giggle.

"I didn't say I'd rather clean. I said we have to clean first. That way, we'll have all night to fool around," Jack said. "So, put on a nice short skirt and we'll get going."

Sally nodded. She took off her jeans, placing them on a chair. While she rummaged through the closet for a skirt, Jack sat on the bed watching. Sally selected a dark blue miniskirt. When Jack nodded his approval, she pulled it on. Sally stood before Jack, waiting for him to tell her what he wanted next.

Jack put his hands on the backs of Sally's legs. He slid them up, gripped her panties, and then removed them. Sally put one hand on Jack's shoulder as she lifted her right, and then her left foot. Jack handed Sally her panties, telling her to put them in the hamper.

Smiling, Sally tossed the lingerie into the hamper. It had been a few days since Jack had exerted his dominance and she missed it. When she turned around to face Jack again, her eye opened as wide as they could. Jack stood near the bed holding Sally's leather collar. Sally walked over to Jack and knelt at his feet. She didn't look up, as Jack secured the leather collar around her neck.

"You can get up," Jack said after snapping the small padlock on the collar.

Sally could barely contain her excitement. She stood up, waiting for Jack to give his next command. Jack pulled Sally into a hug, kissed her tenderly and then said, "Let's get to work."

It didn't take long for the four teens to clean the upper floor of the house. Kim saw that Sally wore the leather collar and grinned. Both she and Tom had become accustomed to seeing Sally wearing the collar and knew it was her choice to be submissive to Jack. They no longer questioned the relationship their siblings seemed to enjoy.

While she cleaned, Sally took every opportunity to bend at the waist so her short skirt rode up. She didn't care who was able to see her. Sally scrubbed the floors of the bathrooms on hands and knees, feeling Jack's eyes staring at her up turned bottom.

Once they finished the cleaning, the four teens went downstairs to see if they could help their parents. By four in the afternoon, the house was spotless. Don told the kids they could do what they wanted for the rest of the day.

"We need to start thinking about the move," Jack said. The four teens sat at one of the tables in the pool area drinking sodas. "We have to get the trucks and the boat down to Florida."

"Are we going to drive down or have them shipped?" Tom said.

"Dad said we could ship them down, but driving might be fun too," Kim said.

"I don't know how much fun it would be. That's a long drive. It would take us two days to drive down because only Tom and I can drive," Jack said.

"Why don't we ship your truck and drive Tom's down with the boat?" Sally said.

Marge came out with the cordless telephone in her hand. "Here, Kim, it's Kathy and Jenny," Marge said as she handed Kim the phone.

"Thanks, Mom," Kim replied, reaching for the telephone. The cordless handset was equipped with a speakerphone. Kim turned it on, placing the handset on the table so everyone could hear.

"Hi, Kathy, hi, Jenny, how are you guys doing?" Kim said. The rest of the group said hi before Kathy or Jenny could speak.

"Hey there. We're good, how was your trip?" Jenny said.

"The trip was fine. We just finished cleaning house," Kim replied. "We're talking about how we're going to get our trucks and the boat down to Florida. What are you guys doing?"

"Not much, we have to finish our homework for tomorrow," Kathy said. "Are you going to drive the trucks down?"

"That's what we're talking about. We might ship Jack's truck and drive down in Tom's Expedition. We can tow the boat with Tom's truck," Kim said. "If not, we can ship both trucks and the boat."

"What are Eddie, Brad, and Molly up to?" Jack said.

"Molly is at her house. I think she is talking about the wedding with her mom. Brad and Eddie are at the boat. They wanted to change the oil and check out the equipment in the engine room. Eddie and Brad want to make sure the boat is ready when you guys get back down here," Kathy said.

"When are you going to shop for your dresses?" Kim said.

"We're going next weekend. Molly is going with us," Jenny said.

"Do the guys have to wear tuxedos?" Kim said.

"They do if they want to get lucky!" Kathy replied with a giggle. "Yeah, the dance is a formal."

Jack and Tom rolled their eyes. "We're getting out of here if you girls are going to talk about dresses," Jack said. "Talk to you guys later."

All of the girls laughed. Kathy and Jenny told Jack and Tom they would talk to them later. The two boys left the girls to talk about whatever they wanted to.

"I want to talk to Dad about shipping the trucks and boat down to Florida," Jack said as he and Tom headed into the house.

Don and Marc were in the office going over paperwork for the subdivision they planned to build. Jack and Tom walked in, waiting until their fathers acknowledged them before saying anything.

"What's up, boys?" Marc said when he noticed Jack and Tom.

"We wanted to talk about how we're going to get the trucks and the boat down to Florida," Jack said.

"What about it?" Don said.

"Do you think we should drive down with Tom's truck and tow the boat, or should we just ship everything down?" Jack said.

"It doesn't matter to us, Jack. If it were me, I would ship them down," Don replied. "There's no sense in making the drive if you don't have to."

"Do you know a company that can take care of it for us?" Tom said.

"Not off hand, but I'm sure we'll find one when it comes time. There are probably companies that will be bringing up cars for the summer. They would like to be able to have a return trip," Marc said.

"It sounds as if you two boys are anxious to move," Don said.

"Yeah, I guess we are, Dad. We all had a great time fishing and hanging around with our friends. I'm getting excited about Tomiko too. I can't wait until we take delivery and get to take our first trip on her," Jack said.

"Mr. Shockley said the yacht is ready to be delivered. He's going to keep it at his yard until we move down there. Jeri assured me she would be ready too," Don said.

"Have you kids thought about where you want to go for the maiden voyage?" Marc said.

"Not really. Maybe we should talk to Sally and Kim about that. We have to decide who we're going to invite. I think we should ask Eddie, Jenny, Brad, Kathy, and Molly for sure. Maybe we could ask their parents too," Tom said.

Chuckling, Don said, "It may be a bit crowed, but I'm sure could manage to accommodate everyone."

Tom and Jack laughed. "It'll be cozy," Tom said.

"Anyway, back to the vehicles. I will find a company that can take your trucks and the boat down to Florida. Once we pick a move date, we can have the company pick them up. Right now, you kids better get caught up on your school work," Don said.

Jack and Tom thanked their fathers. They left the office and went upstairs to get Kim and Sally so the four of them could study.

"We're going to study so we're ready for school tomorrow," Tom said to Kim and Sally. "Are you guys going to study too?"

"Sally and I will get our books. Where do you want to study?" Kim said.

"Put on your bikinis. We can study by the pool. Being by the pool will remind us of Florida and make us work harder," Jack said.

"Why don't we just study naked?" Sally said.

"Because we won't get our work finished, Sweetie," Jack said with a grin.

The four teens changed into their suits. They went down to sit by the pool and work on their schoolwork. Jack and Tom grabbed sodas for the group before sitting at one of the tables.

-------

Brad and Eddie walked into the living room at Eddie's house. They sat down to wait for Jenny to hang up the phone. Kathy told the boys that Jenny was talking to Kim and Sally. A few moments later, Jenny said goodbye and hung up.

"Kim and Sally are doing fine, so are Jack and Tom," Jenny said when Eddie asked about the girls. "They told me to say hi to you and Brad."

"That's cool. Brad and I have the boat ready for our next trip. When do you guys want to go out again?" Eddie said.

"I don't know, maybe we should wait until Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally get down here. I'd feel funny going out without them," Kathy said.

"Why? You know they won't care, Kathy," Brad said.

"I know, but still, I think it would be weird," Kathy said.

"You shouldn't feel that way, Baby. Mr. Graham said the boat belongs to the fishing team. We're part of the team," Eddie said.

"Maybe we can go out next weekend. I would like to get some time at the helm and so would Molly," Jenny said. "I still feel a little uneasy docking the boat."

"I know I need to practice too. I think we should plan to go out even if we only practice operating the boat," Kathy said.

Eddie left for a moment. When he returned, he said, "I called Molly. She would like to go out on the boat next weekend. I'm going to go pick her up and bring her back here. She said she's bored."

"I'll go with you," Kathy said.

Eddie and Kathy headed for Molly's house. Brad and Jenny sat in the living room, snuggling on the couch. Jenny turned Brad's face to hers and gave him a kiss.

"Do you still love me?" Jenny said.

"You bet your ass I do, Sweetie," Brad said.

Jenny giggled as she snuggled closer. "I thought that after you and Sally fooled around you wouldn't want me anymore."

"Don't be silly. I had fun, but then I think you had fun with Jack too. I love you and I'm not interested in anyone else," Brad said.

"Not even for sex?" Jenny asked. She batted her eyelashes and grinned at Brad.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to fool around once in a while, but you don't have to worry about losing me." Brad moved one of his hands to Jenny's breast. "You're stuck with me for as long as you want me."

Jenny put her hand over Brad's, pushing it against her chest. "You know I was just teasing you, Baby. I had fun with Jack and Sally, but I have more fun with you." Jenny looked into Brad's eyes. "If you told me not to fool around with anyone else, I wouldn't."

"Not even Eddie?" Brad said.

"Not even Eddie," Jenny replied.

"Jen, I love you enough to feel secure. I don't mind if you have sex with Eddie—or anyone else you want to fool around with," Brad said. Brad saw Jenny's face change as her smile faded. "That doesn't mean I'd like it."

Jenny gave Brad a tender kiss. "I wouldn't like it if you had sex with just anyone, but I didn't mind what we did with Jack and Sally. I thought you did too."

"I had fun too. Sally is a nut," Brad said. He moved his hands to Jenny's side. Moving his hands up, he cupped her breasts. Brad kissed Jenny as he gently massaged her breasts. "You're still my favorite girl though."

Wrapping her arms around Brad's neck, Jenny kissed his chin. "Good, that's what I want. It's good that we can have fun with our friends and still love each other."

Eddie, Kathy, and Molly came in the room. Kathy made a comment about Brad and Jenny getting a room, causing everyone to laugh. Jenny pressed her breasts into Brad's hands while telling Kathy she was just jealous.

"Molly and I want to go look at dresses. Do you want to come or would you rather stay here so Brad can feel you up?" Kathy said.

"Decisions, decisions. I guess I'll go with you two. Brad can feel me up later," Jenny said and then she giggled.

"Eddie and I could go with you. That way we could feel you up, you Kathy and Molly," Brad said while he continued to squeeze Jenny's breasts.

"No way. You guys aren't going to see our dresses until the night of the prom," Kathy said.

"It isn't like we're getting married," Eddie said with a chuckle.

"No, but if you boys want to get anything after the dance, you'll do it our way," Jenny said.

The five of them laughed. After kisses, Jenny, Molly and Kathy headed for the mall.

"Where's your mom?" Kathy asked Molly.

"She's at the house. Mom said she wanted to take care of a few things," Molly replied, her voice giving away her displeasure.

"You sound like you don't like her doing that," Kathy said.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. "I don't mind that Mom cleans houses. I just wish it wasn't for my friends."

"I think it's cool. The Grahams's and the Lewis's are nice people. If it's what your mom likes, you should be happy for her," Jenny said. Looking back, Jenny smiled at Molly. "I hope you don't think we care about it."

Once again, Molly shrugged her shoulders. She sat back, looking out the window. In her mind, she knew the job her mom had was good and something she liked, but she still felt funny about having her mother cleaning her friends' house.

"Sweetie, you have to stop worrying about what other people think. Jenny and I used to get shit from some of the boys at school because we fish. We just chalked it up to them being jealous," Kathy said as she looked in the mirror at Molly.

"Who would be jealous of me because my mom cleans house for someone?" Molly said.

Giggling, Jenny said, "Anyone that tasted her baking!"

At the mall, the three girls walked from store to store. They looked at the window displays while discussing what they wanted in the way of a dress for the junior prom. Jenny mentioned that the style was knee-length gowns.

Kathy pulled Molly into one of the stores. Jenny followed the two of them to the back of the store so they could look at dresses. Kathy picked a gown off the rack, holding it up to Molly.

"You'd look cute in this one. What do you think?" Kathy said while examining Molly and the dress.

Molly took the dress from Kathy. She walked to a mirror so she could see her reflection. "I don't know, do you think it would look good on me?" Molly said as she twisted back and forth.

"Try it on, Sweetie," Kathy said with a smile. "I'll help you."

Molly nodded and headed for the dressing rooms. Kathy and Jenny went with her. Kathy followed Molly into one of the booths and pulled the curtain closed. After hanging the dress on a hook, Molly began to undress.

"Let me help you," Kathy said as she began unfastening Molly's shorts.

Kathy pushed Molly's shorts down her legs, pausing to kiss her on the stomach. Molly stepped out of her shorts and giggled when Kathy grabbed her butt. Kathy pressed her lips to Molly's, giving her a tender kiss.

"If you keep that up, I won't get the dress on," Molly said.

Placing her hand over Molly's bra encased breasts, Kathy said, "Is that all bad?"

The two girls giggled. Jenny opened the curtain, telling them to stop fooling around. Molly shook her head and kissed Kathy. Giggling, Kathy helped Molly into the gown.

"You look great in this dress, Hun," Kathy said as she led Molly out of the booth.

"It does look good on you, Molly," Jenny said. She tugged at the shoulders to straighten the dress. "The pink in it brings out the color in your hair."

Molly looked at herself in the mirror. She turned around so she could see the back. "My bra strap shows," Molly said.

"Don't worry about that. We'll go to my mom's shop and get new undies. She has bras that won't show," Jenny said.

"Do you want to try on other dresses?" Kathy asked Molly.

"I don't know. I guess this one will be okay—that is if you really like it on me," Molly said.

"I do like it. You look very sexy," Kathy said with a giggle.

Molly decided that the dress would do. She changed back into her shorts and tee shirt while Kathy and Jenny waited. Molly put the dress aside and went back into the store with her friends. Kathy and Jenny found dresses they liked. The three girls had fun trying on the dresses and goofing around in the dressing room. A salesperson made a comment, but the girls ignored her.

After an hour and a half, all three of the girls took their dresses to the counter to pay for them. They used some of the money they'd won to purchase the dresses. Molly decided to put her dress in lay-a-way and put a deposit on it.

"Why didn't you take it with you?" Kathy said as the girls left the store.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. The girls went to the food court to get sodas. They sat at a table and began talking about the dresses, as well as the upcoming dance.

"You didn't answer me. Why did you put your dress in lay-a-way?" Kathy asked.

"I'm not sure I'm going to go to the prom," Molly said as she twisted her soda cup on the table.

"Why not? I thought we decided you'd go," Kathy said as she reached for one of Molly's hands.

"The prom is special and you and Eddie should go as a couple. I think I would feel out of place. I know you guys said it would be okay, but—I don't know, I guess I'd feel like a fifth wheel," Molly replied as she blinked the tears from her eyes.

Jenny shook her head. "We told you that if you didn't go, none of us would. Molly, we meant that. We want you to go with us."

"I'll think about it, but you guys have to go even if I don't. It isn't fair to Eddie and Brad or you two," Molly said.

"Hi," Erin said as she joined the three girls at the table. "What are you doing today?"

"We're shopping for dresses for the prom. How about you?" Molly said.

"Same thing. Frank said he might be able to come down for the dance," Erin said.

"Is there any word on when Frank is moving down?" Jenny said. "I haven't talked to him in a while."

"Yeah! Frank said he and his mom would be moving down here after he graduates this spring. I can't wait," Erin said.

"Are they going to live with my aunt's girlfriend?" Jenny said.

"That's what Frank said they were doing. I don't care as long as he moved down here," Erin said as she grinned.

"Are you going to the prom if Frank can't come?" Molly said.

"Yes I am. I won't have as much fun, but I want to go. You're going aren't you? We could share a table," Erin said.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. "She's going!" Kathy said. "I'm not going to the dance without my girlfriend."

"I said I'd think about it," Molly said.

"You just have to go, Molly. We'll have a blast," Erin said.

Molly smiled and said she would let her cousin, and the others, know.

"Have you found a dress yet?" Kathy said to Erin.

"I have two picked out, but I don't know which one I'll get. One of them has a deep v-neck. The other one has a lace top. I guess it depends on whether Frank can come or not," Erin said.

"Which one will you buy if he can?" Jenny said.

"The one with the v-neck so Frank can get at my boobs easier. I can't wear a bra with it, but I don't need one because my boobs are so small," Erin said with a giggle.

"There's nothing wrong with your breasts," Molly said.

"I know. As long as Frank is happy with me, I'm okay with being flat. You, on the other hand, don't have to worry about boys not liking your tits. You're stacked," Erin said to her cousin. "How big are those things anyway?"

Molly giggled and said, "Um, thirty-six C, but my ass is big too."

"Your ass is perfect," Kathy said.

"So I've been told. I wish it wasn't so big though. The dress I picked out is a size eight. Unlike you guys with your size fours," Molly said.

"I wear a two," Erin said.

"Yeah, but you're a twig," Molly said.

"I can't help it if I'm skinny. I eat like a horse, but I never get any bigger," Erin said and then she giggled. "It doesn't matter though, Frank likes my skinny body."

The girls laughed and made a few comments about their boyfriends. All of them agreed that as long as the boys liked them, they were happy.

"If Frank does get to come to the prom, we're going to get a hotel room for after the dance. Do you guys want to get together and party too?" Erin said.

"That sounds like fun. You and Frank aren't going to drink or anything like that, are you?" Kathy said.

Blushing, Erin said, "Hell no, we're going to screw our brains out! I haven't seen Frank in a long time and I'm horny!"

"We'll let you know about the hotel. Do you know if Cindy and Kevin are planning to go to the dance?" Jenny said.

"Cindy and Kevin are fighting. I don't know if they will make up again this time. She caught Kevin with another girl and they broke up again. Last time they got back together, but I think she's all finished with him," Erin said. "You should know about it, Kathy, you live next door to her."

"We haven't talked much lately. I've been busy fishing," Kathy said.

"I think Penny and Walt are going. She called me and said they were," Molly said.

"Cool, we can reserve a table for all of us," Erin said. "I'll take care of it tomorrow when I get to school."

Erin said goodbye and left. Kathy, Jenny, and Molly also got up to leave. On the way out of the mall, Molly decided to stop and get her dress.

"I guess that means you're going to go then," Kathy said as she put her arm around Molly's waist.

"Yeah, I can hang around with Erin if her boyfriend doesn't get to come," Molly replied.

"You tell her to keep her hands off of you, Sweetie," Kathy said. The three of them laughed and went into the store.

Molly got her dress out of lay-a-way and then the girls left the store. Jenny dropped Molly off at her house, telling her they would go to her mom's lingerie shop later in the week.

When Kathy and Jenny walked into the house, they saw Eddie and Brad sitting in the living room. The girls scurried past them into Jenny's room. After putting their dresses in the closet, the girls went out to see the guys.

"Aren't you going to show us what you bought?" Eddie said.

"No, you don't get to see our dresses until the night of the dance," Kathy said.

"Why not?" Brad said.

"Because that's what we want. We'll tell you what color they are so you can get us flowers though," Jenny said. "I'm going to call Sally and Kim to tell them about our dresses. You two just stay here."

Jenny grabbed the cordless phone. She and Kathy went out to the patio to call their friends. When Kim got on the phone, Jenny began telling her about the dresses. Kathy held her ear close to the handset so she could hear and talk too.

Jenny and Kathy took turns telling Kim about the dresses. Once they finished, Kim asked about Molly's dress.

"She bought a cute pink gown too. Molly said she wasn't sure she wanted to go to the dance, but I think we talked her into it," Kathy said.

"Why doesn't she want to go?" Kim asked.

"Molly said she thought she would be a fifth wheel or something. I don't know why she's being that way," Kathy said.

"I guess I can understand how she feels. It would be hard for me if I didn't have a date," Kim said.

"Molly has a date. In fact, she has two. She's Eddie's and my date," Kathy said. "Both of us will dance with her."

"I know, but I can still understand," Kim said. "Who else is going?"

"Erin is going; she's one of our friends. Her boyfriend lives in Ohio. He might make it down, but she is going even if he can't make it. Our friend Cindy is supposed to go, but she broke up with her boyfriend so I don't know if she'll go," Jenny said.

"What happened?" Kim asked.

"I guess he was fooling around with another chick and Cindy found out about it," Kathy said.

"I'm glad I don't have those problems," Kim said.

"No kidding, Tom would never do that to you," Jenny said.

"That's not what I meant. If Tom wants to fool around with another girl, it's okay with me as long as we talk about it. I'm pretty sure it would be okay for me too," Kim said. "I love Tom, but as I've said before, I'm too young to get into a serious relationship. Besides that, he is my cousin you know."

"I know, but sometimes I forget that. You really wouldn't care if Tom went out with another girl?" Kathy said.

"Like I said, not as long as we talked about it first. I wouldn't do anything behind his back and I hope he wouldn't do anything behind mine," Kim said and then she giggled. "From what I've heard, you and Jack had fun and Brad still loves you, Jenny."

"True, we did have fun. Sally has a way of making you do things you might not normally do—doesn't she?" Jenny replied.

"Sally can be wild, that's for sure. I love her to death. I have to get going. Call me in a day or two to let me know what's going on. I'll tell Sally, Tom, and Jack what you guys are up to," Kim said.

"Okay, talk to you later. We miss you guys," Kathy said.

"Yeah, we miss you too," Jenny said and then they hung up.

-------

Kim put the phone down and went out to the pool. Jack and Tom were in the water, swimming laps. Sally sat at one of the tables with her laptop computer. Kim sat down near Sally.

"I just talked to Kim and Jenny. They told me about their prom dresses," Kim said. Kim went on; telling what Jenny and Kathy told her. "They said Molly is having second thoughts about going to the prom with Kathy and Eddie. They said Molly told then she would feel like a fifth wheel or something like that."

Sally looked up from her computer and said, "Why doesn't she get a boy to go with her? It isn't like she has to fuck him or anything."

"I don't know. Maybe that would make her feel just as bad. I guess it's complicated," Kim said.

"It shouldn't be. All she has to do is sit with the boy and dance a few times. That way she wouldn't feel weird," Sally said.

Kim shrugged her shoulders. "What are you working on?"

"I was chatting with Fran. She said the video of our fishing trip should be finished in a few weeks. She said it's looking good. I still think we should think about producing our own show." Sally glanced at the pool. "Want to go for a swim?"

"Okay, let's go," Kim said. She stood up and began undressing. Sally stripped and they jumped in the water with their brothers. Jack removed her leather collar so it wouldn't get ruined in the pool.

The four teens swam and horsed around for a half hour. When they got out, they went to the pool house to shower. Sally took the soap from Jack so she could wash him. Jack washed Sally when she finished with him.

Kim told Tom and her brother about talking to Jenny and Kathy. They listened, but weren't interested in hearing about the dresses or the dance.

"I've been thinking about asking Dad if we can have Eddie, Brad, Jenny, Kathy, and Molly up so we can take them salmon fishing. We could fish for a few days and all drive down together," Jack said.

"Where would we go? Lake Michigan?" Tom said.

"That's where I would like to go. We could fish out of St. Joe for Coho," Jack said.

"Do you think our parents would let us do that?" Kim said.

"We can ask them. The worst that can happen is they say no," Tom said.

"It would be crowded on our little boat, but I think we could manage. The boat is rated for ten people so that won't be a problem," Jack said.

"Too bad it'll be cold. It would be cozy with all of us on the boat," Sally said.

That night, at the dinner table, Jack asked about his idea. The parents talked amongst themselves for a moment and agreed that the teens from Florida could come up if they wanted to.

"Why don't you plan on fishing for a couple days, come back here, and then ship the boat and cars down," Don said.

"We can drive Tom's car. It'll fit all of us," Jack said.

"True, but I would feel better if you flew down," Don said.

The group talked about the plan. Marge suggested they invite the adults to come up for a few days with their children. Anne said it sounded like a good idea to her, adding that they could show their friends around.

After dinner, the teens cleaned up. They talked about the chance they would get to show their friends about salmon fishing. Jack and Tom decided to get the boat the following weekend so they could get it ready. Even if their friends from Florida couldn't come up, they still had to get the boat ready to send down.

"Are you going to call Eddie tonight and ask about coming up?" Sally asked Jack.

"No, not tonight. I want to check the fishing reports and forecast for lower Lake Michigan. I'll call them in a couple days," Jack said.

"By the time they get here, the fish may be further north. Maybe near Grand Haven," Tom said.

"That would be okay. I've read about Grand Haven and it sounds like a good port," Jack replied.

Sally went out to pool area to get her notebook computer. She placed it on the table and turned it on. Sally did a search on Grand Haven to see what was available there.

"Look at this. They have a nice marina and a bunch of places to shop," Sally said.

Kim moved her chair next to Sally. Tom stood behind Kim, placing his hands on her shoulders. Jack also moved so he could see the screen on Sally's computer. As Sally clicked the different links, the teens chatted about the things they saw.

"I think we should plan to go to Grand Haven," Jack said. "It looks cool."

"When are we going to go?" Tom said.

Sally pulled up a calendar. Jack pointed at the screen and said, "How about this week? The first week in June looks good. All of us should be out of school by then. Sally, book two rooms for us please. See if they have adjoining rooms."

Sally checked out the motels. Jack told her which one he wanted to stay in and she started filling out the reservation form. She asked for Jack's credit card so she could complete the transaction.

"My card is up in our room, in my wallet," Jack said.

Getting up, Sally ran upstairs. She took the credit card from Jack's wallet and returned to the kitchen. On her way through the family room, Anne stopped her daughter.

"What are you kids up to?" Anne asked Sally.

"We're reserving rooms for our trip to Lake Michigan. Jack found a motel he wants to stay in and I'm filling out the reservation form." Sally held up the credit card. "I had to get Jack's card."

"Where are you planning to go?" Marc said.

"We're going to Grand Haven. They have a nice marina and a lot of things to do there," Sally replied.

"Okay, when are you going?" Marc said.

"Jack wants to go the first week in June. He said we'll be out of school by then," Sally replied.

"That sounds like a good plan. We will leave for Florida when you kids get back from the trip. Don't forget you kids have to take delivery of Tomiko," Don said.

"I'll remind Jack," Sally said. She bounded into the kitchen to finish what she'd been doing.

"Uncle Don told me to remind you we have to take delivery of Tomiko," Sally told Jack.

"I know, we'll take care of the yacht when we get to Florida. Kim, is there anything we need to do before we take delivery?" Jack said.

"Not that I know of. I'll call Jeri in a week or so and ask her," Kim replied. "Can you think of anything, Tom?"

"No, not right now. From what Jeri said, the yacht is ready," Tom replied.

Sally finished making the reservations for the rooms. She told the others everything was set.

"What are we going to do if our friends can't, or don't want to come up here?" Tom said.

"We can cancel the reservations if we have to. We just have to do it twenty four hours before we're supposed to check in," Sally said.

The teens sat at the table, talking about the prospect of introducing their friends to salmon fishing. Tom and Jack talked about the things they needed to do to get the boat ready. Kim and Sally looked at several web pages about Grand Haven. They made a mental list of the places they wanted to go while they were there.

At ten o'clock, the four teens went to the family room to tell their parents good night. They went up to their rooms and paused in the hallway. Tom, Kim, Jack, and Sally said goodnight to one another before going into their rooms.

Tom stood behind Kim, his arms around her body. She leaned back, squirming as Tom kissed her neck. He moved both hands to her breasts, massaging them through the tee shirt she wore. Kim pulled her shirt up and over her head, giving Tom access to her warm soft flesh. She reached behind her, so she could fondle his expanding penis.

"Mmmm, that feels nice," Kim said as she stroked Tom through his pants. "Is this for me?"

"You bet it is, Baby." Tom pushed Kim's sweatpants down over her hips. Sliding one hand into her panties, he said, "Is this for me?"

"Oh yeah, it sure is for you," Kim replied.

Tom moved Kim to the bed. They undressed and then Kim pulled the covers back. She stretched out on her back, waiting for Tom to come to her. He knelt between Kim's legs, leaned forward, and began kissing her mons. Kim reached down, gripping Tom's hair with both hands. He lapped her vulva as she rocked her sex against his face. Tom drilled his tongue into her opening, savoring the tangy taste of Kim's juices.

After a few moments, Kim pulled Tom up. They kissed, swirling their tongues together. Tom gripped his rigid penis and pushed it into Kim's wet vagina. She jerked her hips, driving Tom deeper.

"I love you, Tom. I love it when you fuck me," Kim said, whispering in his ear.

"You know I love you too, don't you, Sweetheart?" Tom replied as he moved slowly in and out of Kim's sex.

Kim moaned, nodding her head. Tom continued to stoke his penis in her hot vagina. They began to move in unison, each matching the other's thrusts. Kim and Tom rolled over so she hovered above Tom. Placing her hands on his chest, she gazed into Tom's eyes. She rotated her hips, grinding her pubic bone against Tom's.

Tom slid his hands up Kim's sides and over her breasts. She flexed her vaginal muscles when he took her nipples between his thumbs and fingers. Kim lifted her body, pushing it back down. She let out a moan as Tom's penis filled her.

Moving one hand to Kim's crotch, Tom started rubbing her clitoris. She rocked her hips, increasing the pressure on her nub. A few moments later, Kim's orgasm rolled though her body. Her vagina clamped around Tom's penis, causing him to send several strong surges of semen into her.

Kim leaned forward, pressing her chest against Tom. They kissed as they came down from the sexual high the two of them enjoyed. Once she regained her composure, Kim rose up again. She scooted up, presenting her sex to Tom's mouth. He gripped her hips and pulled her down to him. Kim came again as Tom used his mouth and tongue on her labia.

Turning around, Kim picked up Tom's semi hard penis with her lips. She sucked him into her mouth, licking his shaft as she lowered her head. After cleaning Tom's penis, Kim turned around to snuggle with him. He pulled her close, rubbing one hand over Kim's bottom.

Across the hall, Sally and Jack lay together. Sally told Jack how much she loved him as they basked in their mutual post orgasmic bliss. Jack kissed Sally, telling her he loved her too.

Over the next few days, the four teens fell into their normal routine. They rose in the morning, went for a swim, and then shared the shower by the pool. Kim, Jack, Sally, and Tom went to Dianne Phillips' house each morning for their home schooling. They put in extra hours at home to catch up with their studies.

On their first day back, Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally told their friends about winning the tournament. They learned that Paul and Cindy were still together as were Brad and Craig. Megan and Lisa moved in together and were doing well.

Kim and Sally talked to Jenny, Kathy, and Molly almost every evening. They kept caught up on what was going on. During one call, Jenny told Kim that Molly was still vacillating about the junior prom. Jenny said that she was sure that Molly would end up going though.

When Jack asked Eddie if he and the others would like to come to Michigan to go salmon fishing, Eddie said they would see if their parents would let them come. Neither of the boys knew that their parents had agreed to the trip.

On Saturday afternoon, after spending the morning in school, Jack and Tom went to the inside storage unit to check out the twenty-seven foot fishing boat. They removed the cover and thoroughly cleaned the boat. Jack and Tom checked out the fishing tackle and sharpened all the hooks.

"Well, the boat is almost ready to go," Jack told Kim and Sally when he and Tom returned from the storage unit.

"Cool, what else do you have to do?" Sally said as she gave Jack a hug and kiss.

"Not much now. We have to get it out of storage and start the engine. Then we have to change the oil," Jack said.

"Do we have enough life jackets for everyone?" Kim said.

"Yes, we have ten on the boat," Tom said. "What have you two been doing this afternoon?"

"I talked to Jenny for a little while. She is all geeked about the dance next weekend. Jenny told me that her friend Erin, Molly's cousin, is still hoping her boyfriend can make it. Frank, that's Erin's boyfriend, lives in Ohio. She said his Mom doesn't know if she will be able to send him down for the weekend," Kim said.

"When is the dance?" Tom said.

"Next Friday night," Kim replied.

"Tell Jenny to send us pictures," Tom said with a grin.

"She said she would. Why, do you want to see the girls all dressed up?" Kim said while grinning at Tom.

"Sure, why not?" Jack said. "I'll bet you want to see the guys in their tuxedos too."

Kim giggled and nodded her head. Sally began to laugh and then she said, "I'd rather see them without their tuxes."

"You are so bad, Sally—don't you think of anything else?" Kim said.

"Since when does wanting to see cute naked boys make me bad? Like you don't want the same thing," Sally said.

"That's beside the point. I don't go around bragging about it," Kim said and then she giggled. "You're right though, I do like it as much as you do."

"Maybe we could get Kathy, Jenny, and Molly to send us pictures without their dresses," Tom said.

"Now I know you'd like that, Tom," Sally said. She patted Jack's arm and added, "So would Jack."

"I have an idea, why don't we go for a swim. That way I get to see my two favorite girls naked," Jack said.

Laughing, the four teens went to the pool. Kim told Jack and Tom that their parents were going to the golf course and then to a meeting with Mr. Stone and Mr. Mitchell. "Dad said something about the housing development and that he and Uncle Marc needed to sign some papers," Kim said.

Once they were all naked, the four teens jumped into the pool. They swam a few laps before the splashing and dunking started. Kim grabbed Jack from behind, trying to pull him backwards. Jack twisted in his sister's arms, coming face to face with her. The siblings stared into each other's eyes for a moment. Slowly, smiles formed on Jack and Kim's faces. They moved their heads closer and kissed.

"It seems like a long time since we did that," Kim said.

"Yeah, too long if you ask me," Jack replied. "Do you think Tom would be pissed if we spent the night together tonight?"

"No, I don't think so," Kim said.

Jack hugged Kim tighter before releasing her. He swam over to Sally and picked her up. Carrying her over his shoulder, Jack took Sally to Tom.

"How would you like to swap tonight, Tom?" Jack said.

Laughing, Tom nodded. "Hell yeah, it's been a while since we've done that. Is Kim up for it?"

Kim came over and stood near Tom. When she grinned, Jack handed Sally to her brother. Laughing, the siblings began making out. Sally felt her brother's penis expand against her stomach. She giggled, reached down, and gave it a squeeze.

Jack, Kim, Tom, and Sally showered together. Kim and Jack took turns washing each other and so did Tom and Sally. They dressed and went to do their homework. Don, Marc, Marge, and Anne came home at six. The two women prepared dinner while Don and Marc worked in the office.

During dinner, Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally couldn't keep from being giddy. They made eyes at each other, anticipating what would happen later. Marge noticed and asked what was going on.

"Nothing, Mom. We're all just goofing around," Kim said.

"I can see that. I'm wondering who is goofing around with whom," Marge said with a smirk.

"We all goofing around with each other, Mom," Kim replied.

"I talked to Eddie about coming to Michigan. He said he would love to come up and go salmon fishing. He's going to talk to the others and the parents," Jack said.

"We know, Jack. It's all set. We talked with Mr. Shockley and Mr. Waters. All of them are coming that week," Don said. "While you kids are fishing, we're going to show them around."

"When are we moving?" Sally said.

"We thought that you kids could go back with your friends. Molly's mom has agreed to stay at the house in Florida until we get down there. We'll head down as soon as we wrap up a few things here," Anne said.

"We don't need a babysitter, Mom," Sally said.

"I know you don't, but Aunt Marge and I don't want you kids staying in the house alone," Anne said.

"What about the trucks and the boat? Are we going to have them shipped or are we going to drive down?" Jack said.

"I have arranged to have them shipped down. The company will have them there in two days," Don said.

"This is really going to happen, isn't it?" Kim said.

"Yes, that is if you kids still want to move," Marge said.

All four of the teens nodded and reaffirmed their desire to move to Florida.

"How did your meetings go today?" Tom said as he looked at his dad and uncle.

"Things went well, Tom. Our project, the subdivision, is on track. They are going to start putting in the roads and utilities next week. Mr. Phillips has opened the golf course and he is doing well. All in all, things are coming together nicely," Marc said.

"Have you girls talked to Jenny, Kathy, or Molly?" Marge asked.

"I talked to Jenny today. Oh, I almost forgot, we have a tournament coming up in June, the last weekend I think. We're fishing out of Miami in some sailfish classic," Kim said.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Tom said.

"I'm sorry, I forgot," Kim said. "Jenny said she is going to email us with the details as soon as she gets them."

"I think Kim needs a spanking," Sally said and then she giggled.

"Sorry, but I'm not into that. You should get spanked for me. You knew about the tournament too!" Kim said. "Besides that, you'd like it!"

"Okay, that's enough you two," Marge said. "It's time to clear the table."

Kim, Sally, Tom, and Jack cleared the table. The girls rinsed the dishes and put them in the dishwasher while their brothers washed the pots and pans. While they worked, they played grab-ass with one another.

Sally moved behind Tom as he dried a pan. She reached around him, sliding her hand into his pants. Squeezing his penis, she giggled, and said, "This is going to be fun."

"Hey, can't you wait until we in bed?" Kim said.

"I could, but why would I want to?" Sally replied.

Kim giggled. She started to fondle Jack though his slacks and said, "I see your point, Sally."

The teens finished in the kitchen and went out to the family room. They watched television for an hour before heading to bed. Standing outside of their rooms, they shared nervous glances. Finally, Sally giggled, hooked her arm through Tom's, and said, "See you in the morning. Don't do anything we wouldn't do."

Laughing, Kim and Jack told Tom and Sally goodnight. Jack led Kim into his room, the room he normally shared with Sally. When he closed the door, Jack turned to his sister.

"This feels weird, doesn't it?" Jack said.

"Not to me, Jack. I've been thinking about fooling around with you lately," Kim replied. She put her arms around Jack's neck. Pulling his head to hers, Kim kissed Jack. The kiss lingered as their tongues moved together. Jack rubbed down Kim's back, letting his hands come to rest on her bottom.

"That was nice," Jack said.

"Mmmm, very nice," Kim said and then she moved toward the bed.

Kim and Jack stretched out next to each other. They resumed their kissing as their hands moved over one another's bodies. Jack removed his sister's top. He leaned over her and began kissing Kim's breasts. Kim held his head, moaning when he sucked on one of her nipples.

For the next hour, Kim and Jack made love. They used their hands, mouths and bodies to please each other. While they rested after their orgasms, Jack and Kim cuddled together.

"I can't stop thinking about Molly and the junior prom," Kim said as she snuggled with Jack.

"What about it? Isn't she going with Eddie and Kathy?" Jack said as he propped his head on his hand.

"Yeah, but I don't think she's happy about it. It would be weird for me to go as part of a threesome. I know Molly loves both of them, but Eddie and Kathy were a couple before Molly came into the picture," Kim said.

"Why doesn't she get a date then?" Jack said.

"I don't know. I guess she would feel weird doubling with someone from school."

"Yeah, it probably would. Too bad we're not living down there. I know she likes Tom and he could take her," Jack said. "That is if it wouldn't bother you."

"I love Tom, but I think we all know that we're not going to spend the rest of our lives together, not like we are now. We're related," Kim said.

After a few moments, Kim sprang up. She leaned over and gave Jack a kiss. "Jack, do you think our parents would let Tom go down to Florida so he could take Molly to the prom? I mean, they're always doing things for people and I think it would be great if Tom showed up and surprised Molly," Kim babbled. "Just think how good it would make her feel?"

"I guess you could talk to Tom about it. If he agrees, you can ask Mom, Dad, Aunt Anne, and Uncle Marc about it. How about Molly, would you tell her?" Jack said.

"No, I'll call Jenny and Kathy. We'll make it a surprise for Molly. She'd shit if Tom showed up to take her," Kim said. "I know Tom thinks she's cute."

"Are you sure it wouldn't piss you off? What if they end up in bed together?" Jack said.

"No it wouldn't piss me off. I would hope he would try to seduce Molly on her prom night," Kim said with a giggle. She reached down and fondled Jack's semi flaccid penis. "Besides, you can take care of Sally and me while Tom's gone."

"You're a nut, do you know that?" Jack said to Kim.

"Yeah, but you still love me—don't you?"

Jack kissed Kim and said, "You're damn right I do. When are you going to talk to Tom?"

Giggling, Kim said, "I wonder if Tom and Sally are finished?" She jumped up, grabbing Jack's hand. "Come on; let's go see if he'll do it."

Following Kim, Jack said, "What if they're still going at it?"

"So, it isn't as if you haven't seen it before," Kim said as she continued to giggle.

Kim opened the door to the bedroom. Sally was on all fours with Tom kneeling behind her. He gripped her hips while driving his penis in and out of her vagina. Kim walked over and tapped Tom on the shoulder.

"Hurry up, I have to ask you something," Kim said.

Sally looked back, giggled and shook her head.

Chapter 40


Tom pulled out of Sally and sat on the bed. Sally turned around, sitting next to her brother.

"This better be good. I was getting close," Sally said.

"Sorry, I can come back if you want me to," Kim said.

"Naw, this is our third time. I can wait a few minutes," Sally replied. "Now, what is so important that you had to interrupt us?"

"I was telling Jack about how Molly feels funny about going to the junior prom with Eddie and Kathy. He said she should take a date. I said she probably wouldn't want to go with someone she knew from school. Jack said it was too bad we didn't live down there so Tom could take her," Kim paused to take a breath.

"Anyway, that's when I thought that Tom could fly down and take her to the prom. It would be a surprise for Molly. Jack said I had to ask you before I talked to our parents. So, will you take Molly to the prom if our parents say its okay?" Kim said to Tom.

"What if she doesn't want to go with me?" Tom said.

"Don't be silly, Tom, why wouldn't she want to go with you?" Kim said.

"Um, because she's going with Eddie and Kathy," Tom replied.

"You're just taking her to a dance." Kim giggled as she sat next to Tom. "Who knows, you might get lucky."

Tom's face went blank. He looked at Kim, furrowing his brow. Jack picked up on the change in Tom and took Sally's hand. He pulled her off the bed, leading her out of the room. In the hallway, Jack said, "I think they need a minute."

"What are you trying to tell me, Kim?" Tom said. "First you and Jack want to sleep together and now you're trying to push me off on Molly."

"Sweetie, I'm not trying to push you off on Molly. I love you and you know it. As far as what we did tonight, it's just for fun. We've talked about this before. If you did fool around with Molly, it wouldn't change the way I feel about you.

"I just think it would be a nice thing to do for one of our friends. You don't have to go if you don't want to. We don't even know if our parents will let you if you do say yes," Kim said. She put her arm around Tom and hugged him. "You said she has a nice ass."

Tom softened and chuckled. Turning to Kim, he gave her a kiss on the forehead. "You're really something, Sweetie. I don't think I know anyone that would offer their boyfriend to take another girl out."

"Honey, I think you're wrong. I'd bet Jenny or Kathy would do the same thing. Our friends are different from most other kids—so are we I'd hope," Kim said.

"If our parents will let me, I'll go. I won't do anything with Molly though," Tom said.

Giggling, Kim wrapped her hand around Tom's penis. She started stroking it, feeling him harden in her hand. "Now why would you deny Molly a chance to play with your beautiful cock?"

"You're telling me you wouldn't be mad if something happened between us?" Tom said.

"I telling you I'd be mad if you didn't try. Remember, it's her prom. She might want to have some fun. Molly might not want to fool around, but if she does, I'm saying go for it," Kim said. "I get to have you anytime I want to. Who knows, when we move down there Molly and I may both have you at the same time."

"How about Eddie and me with you?" Tom said with a chuckle.

"One can always dream," Kim said. She giggled, squeezed Tom's penis, and gave him a kiss.

"Let's go tell Jack and Sally," Tom said.

Kim and Tom went across the hall to Jack and Sally's room. Kim opened the door without knocking. She and Tom went in and sat on the bed with Jack and Sally.

"So are you going to see if you can take Molly to the prom?" Sally said.

"Yeah, if our parents say I can go, I will," Tom replied.

Sally hugged her brother and then gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Isn't he the sweetest guy in the world?"

"Yeah, I think he is. Now, I'm going to take him to our room and show him how sweet I think he is," Kim said.

Jack laughed as Kim pulled Tom out of the room. He took Sally in his arms, hugging her close to him. Jack and Sally made love slowly, whispering 'I love you' to each other. They spooned together, falling asleep.

Kim and Tom's coupling wasn't as tender as their siblings' were. They screwed with as much energy as they could muster. When they finished, they held one another and chuckled.

The next morning, the teens presented their idea to their parents. The adults talked amongst themselves for a few moments before agreeing to let Tom go to Florida for the weekend.

"You guys are the best," Kim said to the parents. "Um, I hate to ask, but do you think you could have Erin's boyfriend picked up on the way down? He lives in Ohio."

Laughing, Don said, "I don't think that would be a problem."

"How do you plan to pull this off?" Anne asked.

"First I have to call Kathy and see if she thinks it's a good idea. After that, I have no idea," Kim said.

"Tom is going to need a tuxedo," Anne said as she smiled at her son. "Do you know what color Molly's dress is? How about flowers? How are you going to get to and from the dance? Where are you going to stay?"

"Whoa, give the kids a chance to answer, Hun. I'm sure everything will work out. I'll rent a limo for the kids. Kim can find out about Molly's dress. Anne can help Tom rent a tux," Marc said.

Don turned to Kim and smiled. "This is a very unselfish thing you're doing. I'm proud of you."

"Thanks, Dad. I'm doing it for Molly," Kim replied humbly.

"Kim, you better give Kathy a call before we make too many plans," Marge said.

Kim called Kathy's house. Mrs. Waters answered the telephone, said hi to Kim, and then got Kathy.

"Hi, Kathy, it's Kim," Kim said. "I, um, I have a proposition for you to think about."

"Hi, Kim, what's up?" Kathy replied.

Kim told Kathy about her idea. The more the two girls talked, the better Kathy liked the idea. Kathy told Kim she would talk to Eddie and get back to her. The girls said goodbye and hung up.

A few minutes later, Kathy called back. She told Kim she and Eddie talked about it and thought it was a great idea. The three of them agreed to keep it a secret from Molly so they could surprise her.

"Oh, there's one other thing. If you give me Frank's number, I'll call him and let him know that my dad said the plane could stop in Ohio to pick him up," Kim said.

"Are you shitting me? Erin is going to go nuts," Kathy said. "She has been moping around since she found out Frank wasn't going to make it down. Can I tell Jenny and Brad?"

"Sure, as long as no one tells Molly. Make sure to take a lot of pictures. I would love to see the look on Molly's face," Kim said.

"We will. There's something you should know about, Kim. We plan to rent hotel rooms for after the prom. Is that going to be a problem?" Kathy said.

"Not for me. How will you and Eddie feel if Tom and Molly—you know?" Kim said.

"I don't have a problem with it and I don't think Eddie will either. We want Molly to be happy. We love her you know," Kathy said.

"I know you do. I will call you later so we can plan our surprise for Molly. I need to know about flowers for her," Kim said. "I think we should make it a surprise for Erin too. If we tell her, she'll tell Molly about it and it might let the cat out of the bag."

"Okay, that sounds like a plan. I'll have Eddie pick up her flowers. That way Tom won't have to carry them down. Do you know when Tom and Frank will get here?" Kathy said.

"No, not yet, but I'll let you know as soon as my dad works out the details," Kim said.

Kathy and Kim hung up after talking for a few minutes longer. Kim went to the kitchen to bring the rest of the family up to speed. When Kim mentioned the hotel, Anne interrupted.

"Why don't you kids use the house? You'd be more comfortable there," Anne said to Tom. "I'd be more comfortable if you were there."

"I agree, it would better if you kids went to the house. Jeri and April will be there in case you need anything," Marc said.

"I'll call Kathy and tell her," Kim said.

"No, I'll call Eddie and talk to him about it, Kim. I want to make sure he's okay with this," Tom said.

Kim nodded and then she giggled. "Tom, we should practice dancing. You haven't danced in a while."

"I still remember what I learned last time," Tom replied.

"Silly boy, those dances are old now. You have to learn the newest ones," Kim said as she grinned at Tom. "This time, I get to teach you."

"We better get going. Mrs. Phillips will be waiting for us. She's nice enough to hold classes on Sunday and we shouldn't be late," Jack said.

The teens headed to Dianne Phillips' house. When the settled into their seats, Tom told Dianne that, he would have to miss class the next weekend. She assured him it would be okay as long as he did well on his tests.

Dianne passed out the days assignments. Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally worked for five hours and then left with their homework. When they got home, they went out to the pool to study.

Kim sat back in her chair. "We need a break. I think it's time for Tom's dancing lesson."

Giggling, Sally went to turn on the music. Kim began showing the latest steps to Tom. Jack and Sally danced too.

"Mmmm, you still remember this part," Kim said as she danced slowly with Tom.

"You're easy to dance with," Tom whispered in her ear. He rubbed Kim's back, letting his hand settle on her butt.

Kim wiggled against Tom's hand. "Don't forget to do that to Molly when you're dancing with her."

"What?" Tom said as he pulled his head back so he could look into Kim's eyes.

"Play with her butt. You said you thought she has a nice ass," Kim replied with a giggle.

Tom stopped dancing. Placing his hand on Kim's shoulders, he said, "You're enjoying this, aren't you? I can understand why you want me to take Molly to the dance, but why are you so insistent that I do more?"

"Honey, I'm not insisting that you do anything. I'm only saying that if anything does happen, it's okay with me. You want Molly to have a nice time, don't you?" Tom nodded. "How do you think she'll feel if you treat her like you're doing her a favor? I don't know if Molly will want to do anything. I don't know if you will. All I'm saying is to treat her as a date, not just a friend."

Tom didn't say anything. He gazed at Kim while he mulled over what she said.

"Tom, what would you have done if Eddie, Molly, Kathy, you, and me got together while we were fishing. You know, like Sally and Jack did with Brad and Jenny? Would you have had sex with Molly and Kathy? I know I would have fooled around with Eddie and the girls, if they wanted to," Kim said.

Smiling, Tom said, "I think you know the answer to that, Kim. This is different though, you're not going to be there."

Kim giggled. She stretched up, kissing Tom's chin. "Not this time, but we'll all be together again very soon."

"Oh, I get it, you want me to fool around with Molly so you won't feel guilty when you fool around with Eddie," Tom said as he pulled Kim closer.

"Who says I'll feel guilty?" Kim replied with a giggle.

"I don't know what I'm going to do with you," Tom said.

"I have a suggestion. You can dance with me and then take me upstairs and fuck me," Kim said.

Tom laughed. "Before or after dinner?"

Kim began to move to the music. Tom held her close, feeling her body against his. She looked up, smiled, and said, "Yes."

When the song ended, Tom and Kim separated. Holding hands, they headed for the door leading to the family room.

"Hey, where are you two going?" Sally said.

"We're going to practice our horizontal dancing," Kim said and then she laughed.

Kim and Tom left. Sally snuggled up against Jack, leaning her head against his chest. Jack stroked her back as they continued to dance. The song ended and they went to sit at one of the tables.

"What do you think about what Tom is going to do?" Jack asked Sally as he scooted his chair close and took her hand.

"I think it's cool. I just hope Molly doesn't get pissed about it," Sally replied.

"Why would she be pissed?"

"Maybe she doesn't want to have a date other than Kathy and Eddie," Sally replied.

Nodding, Jack smiled at Sally. "Would you do the same thing if it was Jenny? Would you want me to go down to Florida and take her to the dance?"

Sally squeezed Jack's hand. "That isn't my choice. If you wanted to go, you'd go."

"What if it were the other way around? What if Brad needed a date?" Jack said.

"I'd go if you told me to," Sally replied with a glint in her eyes.

Jack leaned close so he could give Sally a kiss. "I love you, Sweetie," Jack said as he pulled away.

"I know you do. I love you too."

Don came out to the pool area. He sat down at the table, asking where Tom and Kim were. When Sally told him they were upstairs, Don asked her to get them.

A few minutes later, the two families were sitting around the table near the pool. Don stood up and began speaking.

"I just got off the telephone with Mr. Levinson. He told me he found out what happened to the house next to ours, the one in Florida. It seems that the owner was in financial trouble and he caused the explosion to try to collect the insurance," Don said.

"Why didn't he sell it?" Marge asked.

"From what Joel was able to find out, he planned to take the money and run. This isn't the first time this man has done it. He did the same thing to a house in Arizona. The insurance company was unable to prove it was arson that time. This time the investigator was able to prove he did it purposely.

"We have an opportunity to buy the property for a very good price. I want to know how all of you feel about it," Don said.

"What would we do with it, Dad?" Jack said.

"I don't know yet. I guess we could build another house on it and try to sell it at a profit. That or we could build a place we could use as part of the charter business and for our friends when they visit," Don said.

"Kind of like a bed and breakfast for the charter guests?" Sally said.

"That's what I was thinking, Sally. I called Mr. Stone. He said we could make the property part of the business and receive tax advantages. The only thing that would prevent us from doing it would be zoning laws," Don said.

"What did Jerry say about the zoning laws? Is there some way around them?" Anne said.

"There may be. If we don't charge anyone to stay there, we wouldn't be running a business on the property. I think we should let Jerry and Joel figure that out if we do decide to buy the place," Don said.

"Why are you asking us? I mean Jack, Kim, Sally, and me?" Tom said.

"Because this affects our families and the charter business. If all of us aren't agreeable, I don't want to do it," Don said.

"How about the existing house, can it be repaired?" Kim said.

"No, it's a total loss. The explosion and the fire damaged the foundation. We will have to clear the property and build a new house if we decide to buy it," Don said.

"Don't you think we're getting into too many things? We have the yacht, the fishing team, the golf course, and the new subdivision," Jack said.

"Marc and I need things to keep us busy, Son. We're too young to sit around doing nothing. Your uncle and I have always worked and enjoyed it. This isn't like working in the shop; this is fun. When Uncle Marc and I did work in the shop, it wasn't uncommon for us to put in sixty or more hours a week. We can't just shut it off," Don said.

"Kids, we have more leisure time than we've ever had. We get to do things that we couldn't even dream of before our good fortune. We have made a few good investments that have become very profitable. Don insisted we hire someone to help manage the money and it's paid off," Marc said.

"So, what are your thoughts on the property? After all, someday it will be yours," Don said.

"Not too soon," Marge said and then she chuckled.

"Actually, all of our assets that are not held by a business are in a living trust. That means they belong to all of us. I'm the trustee. After I'm gone, the trust passes down to the next in line," Don said.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it make more sense to have the trust own the new property and then lease it to Unique Charters?" Sally said.

Everyone at the table stared at Sally, everyone except Jack. He smiled as he patted Sally's leg. "She is always doing that—coming up with ideas that you'd never expect. My sweetie is as sharp as a tack," Jack said.

"Sally, that sounds like a great idea. I'll talk to Mr. Stone and see what he thinks. It would protect the property if the charter business was ever sued," Don said.

Sally grinned. Anne looked at her daughter and said, "Where did you learn that, Sally?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Sally replied, "I don't know. I do a lot of reading and research on the internet."

"Sally has an idea to produce a fishing show. She told us that we could probably get sponsors," Kim said.

"Let's talk about the property. We can talk about the television show when we get to Florida. Jenny, Eddie, Kathy, Brad, and Molly would be part of that project," Sally said. "I think we should buy the property. Real estate is always a good investment."

The families talked about the idea for a little longer. In the end, they all agreed it would be wise to invest in the property. Don called Jerry and Joel, telling them to put the deal together.

That night, Jack, Kim, Tom, and Sally sat together in the hot tub. Sally snugged against Jack, her hand slowly fondling his penis. Near them, Tom rested his arm over Kim's shoulders.

"Do you think Uncle Don and Dad will let up help design the new house?" Sally said.

"I don't know. Maybe they will if we ask them," Kim said. "Why, do you have something in mind?"

"Not really, but I think it would be fun. The house should have plenty of bedrooms though. We want to be able to accommodate our clients," Sally said. "Besides, we might live there someday."

"We can ask about helping once Dad and Uncle Marc buy the property," Jack said.

The four parents joined their kids in the hot tub. Sally reluctantly released Jack's penis after giving him a firm squeeze. Marge, Don, Anne, and Marc settled into the swirling water.

"Dad, Sally wants to know if we can help design the new house," Kim said.

Don smiled. "We'll see. Let's wait until we buy it before we start making plans. Jerry and Joel have to get the right deal for us first."

"When can we take Tom to get his tuxedo?" Kim said.

"We'll go tomorrow after you kids get home from school," Marge replied as she looked at her daughter.

The group sat in the tub for another fifteen minutes. Kim, Tom, Jack, and Sally got out and jumped in the pool. They swam for a few minutes before heading to the shower. The four teens goofed around while showering. Kim took extra time washing Tom. The two of them touched and kissed while rubbing their soapy hands over one another. Sally washed Jack as he stood still with his arms at his side. She stroked his penis and coddled his testicles. When Jack washed Sally, he didn't spend any extra time.

The kids told their parents good night. They went to their rooms, stopping to say good night before they went in. Kim said she planned to exercise the next morning, something they hadn't been doing lately. Jack and Sally told Kim and Tom they would workout too.

"Want to fool around?" Jack said as he pulled Sally into a hug.

"No, not tonight," Sally said.

Jack noticed her eyes. He did his best not to smile. "What do you mean no?" Jack said. He pushed Sally on the bed. "I'm horny and you're going to fuck me—like it or not!"

Sally rolled away, putting her back to Jack. She pulled her legs up against her chest, wrapping her arms around them. Jack moved closer to the bed. Rearing back, he slapped her exposed bottom. Sally flinched and then Jack smacked her again. When Sally tried to scoot away, Jack grabbed her. He pulled her closer to the edge of the bed, rolled her onto her back, and let her head hang off the edge.

Gripping his penis with one hand and Sally's hair with his other hand, Jack rubbed his glans against her tightly closed lips. When Sally tried to turn her head, Jack tightened his grip on her hair. He pressed the head of his penis against her mouth again.

Sally finally opened her mouth. Jack stuffed his penis into Sally's mouth until she gagged. Gripping her head with both hands, Jack began moving his penis in and out of her mouth.

"Watch your teeth. Do you want to get your ass slapped again?" Jack said, trying to sound as rough as he could.

Sally let her teeth scrape the shaft of Jack's penis. He pulled out of her mouth, flipped her around and sat down on the bed. Pulling Sally over his legs, Jack began spanking her. Sally squirmed as Jack's firm slaps started turning her butt red.

"Are you going to behave now?" Jack said.

Sally turned her head so she could look up at Jack. "Screw you! Leave me alone!"

Jack gave Sally two more smacks. He dipped his hand between her legs, feeling her vulva. Sally's labia were slick with wetness. Jack rubbed her for a moment and then pushed two fingers into her vagina. Sally gasped and opened her legs. After fingering her for a few moments, Jack moved Sally off his legs. He positioned her on the bed with her bottom turned up. Standing on the floor between her legs, Jack pushed his penis into Sally. He held her hips as he slammed his hips against her red butt.

Sally let out a grunt each time Jack pushed into her. He kept it up for about five minutes and then Jack felt Sally's vagina contract. Knowing she was close to an orgasm, Jack removed his penis. He flipped Sally on her back, got on the bed, and knelt straddling her body. Pulling Sally's head up by her hair, Jack pushed his penis into her mouth. He pushed so deep that Sally gagged.

Jack thrust his hips, shoving his penis deep into Sally's mouth and throat. He could feel her breasts against the underside of his thighs as he moved in erratic jerks. Sally moaned around his member while keeping her wide eyes locked with his.

Pulling out of Sally's mouth, Jack stood at the side of the bed. He grabbed her legs, pulling her butt to the edge of the mattress. He put Sally's legs up on his shoulders, gripped his erection, and slid it into her vagina. Jack began to move, his testicles slapping against Sally's bottom. He moved his hands to her breasts, squeezing them firmly. Sally gripped the covers for leverage. She pushed herself into Jack's thrusts letting grunts out from deep in her throat.

Jack continued to screw Sally with such force she slid back on the bed. He grabbed her legs, hugged them to his chest, and pulled her back against him. A few moments later, Jack moved back until his penis came free from Sally's convulsing vagina. He wrapped his hand around the shaft so he could rub his glans against her anus. Sally's eyes opened wider as Jack applied pressure to her tight sphincter. He didn't wait for Sally to become accustomed to his girth. Jack pushed hard and his penis stretched Sally's rectum. She whimpered, but Jack didn't back off.

Once Jack pushed his entire member into Sally's bowels, he began to move. He opened Sally's legs wide so he could gaze down at their coupling. Sally started chanting incoherently. Her noises were a mixture of moans and begging. Taking a deep breath, Sally was able to speak.

"Fuck me, you bastard, fuck my ass! Oh God that's good," Sally yelled at Jack.

Perspiration dripped from Jack's face on to Sally. He felt his climax building and began increasing the speed of his thrusts. Gripping Sally's legs, Jack ejaculated into her bowels. His body shuddered as his penis throbbed. Sally started to smile when she saw Jack's contorted face. She was awash with pride knowing the pleasure she'd provided to her lover.

Jack slipped out of Sally. He settled on the floor, gasping for breath. Sally got off the bed to kneel next to Jack. She stroked his wet hair, leaned forward, and kissed his forehead. Jack looked up at Sally. "Clean me up."

Sally giggled. She began lowering her head to take his penis in her mouth. When Jack realized what she was about to do, he grabbed Sally by the hair.

"No, not like that. Let's take a shower," Jack said.

Sally nodded. She stood up, offering her hand to Jack. They walked into the bathroom and got into the shower stall. Sally adjusted the water, making sure it was warm before moving Jack under the spray. She knelt on the floor, soaped her hands, and started cleansing Jack's genitals. After washing and rinsing him thoroughly, Sally took his flaccid penis in her mouth. She looked up, gazing into Jack's eyes. Slowly, Sally sucked his entire member into her mouth. She coddled his penis with her tongue while moaning softly.

Releasing Jack, Sally stood up. She wrapped her arms around his neck, stretched up, and gave Jack a searing kiss.

"Thank you for doing that for me," Sally said.

Jack forced a smile as he nodded.

"I know you don't enjoy treating me like that, but you do—you do it for me. I love you so much. Not because of what we did, but also for reasons I can't explain. Every time I look at you, or hear your voice, I feel butterflies in my stomach. Jack, you occupy my every thought and dream," Sally said.

"Sally, I love you too. I get confused sometimes though. When we make love, I'm as happy as I can be. When we do—you know, I feel strange. It's as if lust takes over my thinking. Once we get going, I can't control myself," Jack said.

Taking the bar of soap, Sally started washing Jack's chest. She stared into his eyes, smiling at him. Sally turned Jack around so she could wash his back. She knelt again, washing his legs and butt. Sally gave each of Jack's cheeks a kiss before she stood up again. Jack took the soap from her. He washed Sally, pausing when he came to her bottom.

"How's your ass?" Jack said.

"Cute and empty," Sally replied and then she giggled. "It wasn't empty a few minutes ago though."

Jack chuckled as he soaped her butt. "Yeah, but it was still cute, Sweetie."

Sally giggled as she wiggled her bottom against Jack's hands. When they finished in the shower, Jack dried Sally with a large fluffy towel. Sally dried Jack and then they went to bed. Jack waited while Sally prepared the covers. She crawled in, stretching out on her back. Jack stretched out next to Sally, lying on his side. He placed his hand on her stomach and began to stroke her gently.

"You belong to me, Sally," Jack said as he looked down at her.

Sally rolled onto her side. She hugged Jack, gave him a heated kiss, and said, "I know I do, Jack."

Jack and Sally kissed for a few moments. Sally rolled over, scooting her back against Jack's chest. He put his arm over her body, placing his hand on her breast. Sally hugged his arm against her. She let out a sigh and drifted asleep.

Jack felt Sally's breathing change. He knew she was sleeping. Kissing the back of her neck, Jack thought about the strange relationship the two of them shared. As he replayed the evening's sex play, Jack became excited. His penis grew, pressing against Sally's butt. In her sleep, Sally wiggled against his erection.

Sally woke cheerfully the next morning. She turned in Jack's arms, gave him a kiss, and said, "Wake up, time to exercise, Baby."

Jack stirred. He opened his eyes, smiling when he saw Sally's smiling face. Stretching his arms above his head, Jack said, "Good morning, Sweetie. What time is it?"

"It's six o'clock. We have to get going if we want to get to Mrs. Phillips' house on time," Sally told Jack. She leaned down to kiss him again.

Jack and Sally climbed out of bed. Jack went to the dresser, removed a pair of spandex shorts and a sports bra. He handed the outfit to Sally and told her to get dressed. Jack pulled on a pair of running shorts and a tee shirt while Sally dressed. They went across the hall to get Tom and Kim. Jack knocked on the door, opening it when Kim replied.

"We're ready to workout," Jack said.

"Okay, we'll be there in a moment," Kim said as she shook Tom's shoulder. She looked at Sally and smiled. "Did someone get laid last night?"

Shaking her head, Sally said, "No, actually someone got fucked. Fucked but good, I don't mind telling you."

"It sounded like it," Kim said with a giggle.

Tom and Kim joined Jack and Sally. They went down to the basement and began working out. After going through their routines, the teens went up to the pool. They stripped, jumped into the water, and began swimming laps.

Marge and Anne were in the kitchen when their children came through wrapped in towels. They all said good morning and then the teens went upstairs to dress for the day. Jack picked out Sally's outfit, placing it on the bed. Grinning, Sally put on the long-sleeve turtleneck sweater and jeans over the bra and panties Jack selected.

Over the next few days, things came together for the families. Tom went for the fitting of his tuxedo. Jerry and Joel made an offer on the property next to the Florida house, and Tom called Frank to arrange their meeting in Ohio.

In Florida, Jenny, Kathy, and Molly bought the few things they needed for the prom. The three girls went to Mrs. Shockley's lingerie shop to pick out the undies they would wear under their gowns. The kids' parents managed to keep quiet about the fact Jack and Frank would be there.

Molly still held misgivings about going, but Erin finally convinced her they would have fun. By the time Thursday rolled around, Molly became excited about going. Kathy and Molly were studying at Kathy's house on Thursday afternoon. Brad and Eddie had gone to the boat to make sure everything was secure. Jenny stayed at home to clean the house.

"I can't wait to see you all dressed up," Kathy told Molly as they sat on the floor in the living room. Kathy put her hand on Molly's cheek. "I can't wait to get you in the hotel room either."

Giggling, Molly said, "Oh yeah, what are you going to do?"

Kathy moved her hand to Molly's breast. She leaned in, kissing Molly on the lips. Molly opened her mouth to accept Kathy's slithering tongue. When Kathy broke the kiss, Molly said, "What else?"

Kathy moved her hand from Molly's breast to her crotch. She rubbed Molly through her shorts. "If you haven't picked up a cute guy or girl, I'm going to eat your pussy."

Moving her crotch against Kathy's hand, Molly said, "I don't plan on picking up anyone."

"I know, but if you do, it's okay with Eddie and me. We know you're not happy about going to the prom as part of our threesome," Kathy said.

"That's not true, Kathy. I love you and Eddie," Molly replied, moaning softly as Kathy's hand continued to move.

"We love you too, Sweetheart. That's why we won't be upset if you decide to dance with someone else," Kathy said as she tugged at the zipper on Molly's shorts.

Molly put her arm around Kathy's neck. She pulled Kathy down as she stretched out on her back. Kathy grinned, leaned closer, and kissed Molly. As they kissed, Kathy worked the zipper of Molly's shorts down. She unfastened the snap and slipped her hand under Molly's panties. Molly moaned as Kathy's fingers rubbed her mons.

"Maybe I'll just fool around with Erin," Molly said. She moaned again as Kathy's fingers ventured lower.

"I didn't think Erin liked girls," Kathy said. "Besides that, she's your cousin. Wouldn't that be incest?"

"What do you call boffing your brother?" Molly replied as she giggled.

"I call that seldom. Brad hasn't fooled around with me lately," Kathy said. She parted Molly's labia with her fingertip. Molly hiked her hips, letting Kathy's finger slide into her vagina.

"Would you let Erin do this to you?" Kathy said as she began sawing her finger in Molly.

"Mmmm, I don't know," Molly said. "I like it when you do it. I like it when Eddie does it too."

"He has bigger fingers," Kathy said with a giggle.

"I don't know if I'm going to go to the hotel after the dance. You and Eddie should be able to have fun together," Molly said.

"We can talk about that later, Hun." Kathy removed her hand from Molly's pants. She stuck her finger in her mouth, sucking it noisily. "Right now, I want to fool around with you."

The sound of the front door opening startled the two girls. Molly jerked away from Kathy and began fastening her shorts. She finished zipping them when Brad and Eddie came into the room.

"The boat is okay," Brad said. "What are you two doing?"

Kathy and Molly giggled. "We were getting ready to have a little fun until you two showed up," Kathy said.

"Sorry, we can leave," Eddie said.

"No, I have to get home soon," Molly said. "My mom has dinner planned. We're going out with Joel tonight."

Molly gathered her books. She put them in her bag and stood up. Eddie gave her a kiss and held Molly close. "We don't seem to have much time together, do we?" Eddie said.

"We will after school is out," Molly said.

Kathy joined the hug. She kissed Molly and then Eddie. "I can't wait until we get to go fishing again. Being on the boat is so much fun."

"It'll be great having Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally down here," Brad said.

Kathy glanced at her brother and laughed. "Yeah, especially Sally; right Brad?"

Brad shrugged his shoulders, but in the back of his mind, he was looking forward to seeing Sally again. The tryst on the boat was still in the forefront of his memory. Kathy smiled and said, "That's okay, I know Jenny wants to see Jack again too."

"What can I tell you, we had fun," Brad said.

Molly told her friends goodbye. Kathy reminded Molly to pack a bag with comfortable clothes and a bathing suit for after the prom. "The hotel has a pool and we're planning to go swimming," Kathy told Molly.

Molly didn't know why, but she felt better about the dance. While she didn't have any plans to pick up a boy, Molly was happy that Kathy understood how she felt. "What the hell, Erin is going stag too," Molly said out loud as she drove away.

"Is she okay?" Eddie asked Kathy.

"Molly? Yeah, she's fine. I just hope she doesn't get mad at us when Tom shows up," Kathy said.

"If she does, you can hang with Tom and I'll stick close to Molly. It's only a dance after all," Eddie said.

"Boys! It isn't just a dance, it's the junior prom. I know it doesn't mean much to you or Brad, but it is very important to me. It's important to Jenny and Molly too," Kathy said in a huff.

"Whoa, take it easy, Sweetie. The prom is important to us too, isn't it, Brad," Eddie said.

Wisely, Brad agreed with Eddie. He didn't want to feel the wrath of Kathy's ire, or Jenny's when Kathy told her he didn't think the prom was a big deal. Truth be known, Brad was excited about going to the dance. He looked forward to seeing the girls dressed up and to the festivities planned for after the prom.

On Friday morning, Anne and Marc drove Tom to the airport. On the way, his mother gave him instructions.

"Tom, we want you to call us as soon as you get to the house. Make sure Frank calls his mother too. Uncle Don said the limo would be there to pick you boys up at about five. We made dinner reservations for your group at a nice restaurant. We will take care of the bill. The limo company knows where the restaurant is.

"Jeri said she and April will be home this weekend so if you need anything you can ask her. All of the parents know you'll be at the house after the prom instead of at a hotel," Anne said.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll be fine," Tom said.

"I know, Son. Now, if you need help with your tuxedo, call Jeri. She'll give you a hand," Anne said.

"Anne, would you leave Tom alone. He'll be fine," Marc said with a chuckle. "Damn, to listen to you, you'd think he was a little boy."

"Well he's my little boy; he always will be," Anne replied.

Marc pulled into the small airport. He helped Tom carry his bag and tuxedo into the office. After talking with the receptionist for a moment, they walked out to the plane. Marc told Tom that the turbo prop was in use and he would be flying down on the jet. Tom nodded as he handed his bag to the co-pilot. Anne hugged Tom, telling him to have a good time.

"We'll pick you up Sunday afternoon, Tom. Give me a call when you're ready to take off from Florida so we know what time to be here," Marc said.

After saying goodbye, Tom climbed into the plane. He glanced out the window, waving to his parents as he secured his lap belt. Marc and Anne watched the plane taxi away before heading for the car.

"He'll be fine, Anne. Stop fretting," Marc said.

"I know he will, but this is the first time he has gone anywhere without the rest of the family," Anne replied.

"That's not true. He and Lisa went to the photography thing last year," Marc reminded his wife.

"That's right, I almost forgot about that. Since Tom isn't with Lisa anymore, I don't think about those things," Anne said.

The jet lifted off. Tom looked out the window, watching the buildings look smaller. The co-pilot told Tom they would be in Toledo in a few minutes. Tom thanked him and sat back in his seat.

Twenty minutes later, the plane taxied up to the executive terminal. Once the pilot shut the engines down, Tom got off the plane. He looked around for Frank, not knowing what he looked like.

"Hi, you must be Tom," a teenager said as he walked over to Tom. He stuck out his hand. "I'm Frank, Jenny and Eddie's cousin."

"Gland to meet you, Frank," Tom said as he shook Frank's hand.

"Are you boys ready to go?" the pilot asked.

"Yeah, we're ready. Let me help you with your bag, Frank," Tom said.

Once they were in the air, Tom and Frank got to know each other. Tom told Frank about his sister, as well as Kim and Jack. Frank told Tom about his mother. He also told Tom how he met Erin.

Over the next two and a half hours, Tom and Frank talked about things like school, friends, plans for the future, and their girlfriends. Frank seemed a bit surprised when he learned it was Kim's idea to take Molly to the prom.

Jeri and April were waiting for Tom and Frank when they landed. Tom introduced the two women and then loaded their things into the back of the Suburban. On the way to the house, Jeri talked about the yacht. She told Tom that as soon as he and the rest of the teens moved down, they would take delivery.

Frank's head swiveled from one side of the car to the other as he looked at the houses. Jeri pulled into the driveway of the house and parked.

"Holy crap, is this your house?" Frank said to Tom.

"It's my family's house. My parents and my aunt and uncle own it," Tom said. "Jeri and April live here too. Come on inside, I'll show you around."

Tom led Frank into the main house. As they walked through the house, Tom showed Frank the different rooms. The two boys left the main house and headed outside. Frank saw the boat and stopped.

"Is that the boat Eddie had been telling me about?" Frank said.

"Yeah, that's the fishing team's boat. Want to take a look at her?" Tom replied.

Frank nodded. They walked past the pool to the boat. Tom told Frank to remove his hard shoes before they went aboard. As he led Frank through the boat, Tom told him about the fishing tournament they won. Frank kept telling Tom how great the boat looked to him.

"Do you like to fish?" Tom asked.

"It's okay. I'm not nuts about it like my cousins are. I do like to go out on a boat though," Frank said.

After touring the boat, Tom and Frank went back to the house. Tom led Frank to the guesthouse and let him in. "This is where my cousins, my sister, and I will live when we move down here," Tom said.

Molly's mom came out of one of the bedrooms, startling Tom and Frank. Once he composed himself, Tom said, "Hi, Mrs. Durham. I didn't expect to see you here today. This is Frank, Erin's boyfriend."

"Hi, boys. I know I'm not supposed to clean this house, but I knew you kids were planning to come here after the prom. I didn't know if you'd be using this place so I'm making sure it's ready if you do. I've stocked up on food Are you two hungry?" Mrs. Durham said.

Frank and Tom told Mrs. Durham they were hungry. They went into the house and into the kitchen. Molly's mother told the boys to sit down and she would get them something to eat. She called Jeri, telling her that lunch was about ready.

April and Jeri came down to join the others. They sat at the table with the boys while Laura pulled cold cuts, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes out of the refrigerator. She prepared a tray and carried it to the table.

"I made fresh rolls this morning. I also have several kinds of bread," Laura said.

"You know what April and I want, Laura, the homemade rolls," Jeri said.

"Do yourself a favor and try the rolls, Frank," Tom said.

Laura brought out soda, water, and condiments while the rest made sandwiches. She joined them at the table and began fixing her plate.

"I have ham, salami, roast beef, turkey and corned beef. I also have three kinds of cheeses, American, Swiss, and Muenster. Before I leave, I will prepare trays for you kids so you'll have food tonight," Laura said.

"You didn't have to do all this," Tom said.

"I know, but I wanted to. I spoke with your mom and aunt about it. They told me to take care of you kids," Laura said.

"Thank you," Tom said.

"This is great, Mrs. Durham," Frank said. "This is the best bread I think I've ever had."

"Why thank you, Frank. I'm glad you like it," Laura replied.

Chuckling, April said, "You don't know the half of it. I think I've gained five pounds since Laura started working here."

After lunch, Tom and Frank sat on the patio. Jeri and April helped Laura clean up. They finished preparing the food trays for later that night.

"Erin is going to shit when I show up tonight," Frank said. "She was so bummed when she found out I couldn't make it down here."

"I think Molly is going to shit too, but for different reasons," Tom said. "I'm not sure this is a good idea."

"It'll be cool, Tom. Even if she is pissed, you can always dance with Kathy," Frank said. "From what Erin tells me, Molly is going with both Kathy and Eddie. That's kind of weird, isn't it?"

"I don't think so. Who am I to tell someone what he or she should or shouldn't do? If that's what makes them happy, I say so be it," Tom replied. "I wouldn't want someone telling me how to live my life."

"Tom, I agree with you. I don't know it you know it or not, but my mom has a girlfriend down here. If things work out for my mom, we'll be moving here and living with Maria," Frank said.

Nodding, Tom said, "That's cool. It would let you see Erin more often."

"That's what I'm hoping. I miss Erin," Frank said.

"It's only one. We still have almost four hours before we have to go. I think I'm going to go swimming," Tom said.

"That sounds good to me. We don't get to swim this time of year up north," Frank said.

Tom smiled, but didn't tell Frank they had an indoor pool at the house in Michigan. Tom stood up and began undressing. Frank gave him a strange look, causing Tom to chuckle.

"We usually swim naked. You can put on a suit if you'd like to. There are suits in the cabana," Tom said.

"What about Jeri, April, and Laura, won't they see us?" Frank said as he glanced at the house.

"If they look outside they will," Tom replied as he finished removing his pants. He shucked his underwear and headed for the pool. Frank watched as Tom jumped into the deep end.

A few moments later, Frank jumped into the pool too. He and Tom swam for a few minutes, pausing to rest at the side of the pool.

"Mind if we join you two?" April said.

Tom and Frank looked up and saw April and Jeri standing at the edge of the pool. Frank blushed when he saw they were naked. Tom told Jeri and April they were welcome to swim with him. They dived into the water, swimming across the pool.

"Erin is going to kill me when she finds out I was swimming with two naked women," Frank said.

Chuckling, Tom said, "I don't think Erin has anything to worry about. Jeri and April are partners."

"If you don't mind me asking, why do they live here?" Frank said.

"We work for Tom. I'm the captain of his yacht. April is the chief steward," Jeri said.

"My cousins, my sister, and I own the boat," Tom said.

Frank nodded. April and Jeri stayed close to the two boys, talking about the yacht. Tom smiled as he realized that Jeri and April were as excited about Tomiko as he was. The four of them stayed in the water for about twenty minutes. Jeri and April climbed out first. They stretched out on a pair of lounges to relax in the sun. Tom and Frank also climbed out. They went to the cabana to shower.

"Where should I put my stuff?" Frank said. The two boys were dressed again and headed into the house to call Eddie.

"I guess we should stay in the guesthouse. There are enough bedrooms for everyone that might stay. I'll let Kathy, Eddie, and Molly stay in Jack and Sally's room. It has a king size bed," Tom said.

"That sounds like fun," Frank said with a chuckle.

"The three smaller rooms have queen size beds. There'll be plenty of room for you and Erin," Tom said.

Nodding, Frank put his things in one of the smaller rooms. Tom took his bag and tuxedo to the room he shared with Kim. He took out his camera to make sure it was loaded with film. Tom checked the flash unit, replacing the batteries with a fresh set.

Frank called Eddie to confirm the time he and Tom should arrive. Eddie told his cousin that the plan was to pick Jenny, Brad, Eddie, and Kathy at his house. Jenny and Brad's parents would be there. Then they would go to Molly's house to pick up Molly and Erin.

At four o'clock, Tom and Frank began getting ready. They shaved, brushed their teeth and brushed their hair. In their rooms, Tom and Frank dressed in their tuxedos. They went to the main house to wait for the limo driver.

Jeri and April sat in the kitchen. When Tom and Frank arrived, the two women commented on how nice the boys looked. April straightened Tom's bowtie for him.

"Did Molly's mom leave?" Tom asked.

"Yes, Laura went home to help Molly get ready," Jeri replied. "Do you boys have everything you need?"

"I hope so. I'm starting to get nervous about this," Tom said.

"There's no reason to be nervous, Tom. Everything will be okay," April said.

The sound of the doorbell caused Tom's stomach to flip. It was time to go—time to find out if he'd made a mistake by coming down to Florida to take Molly to the prom. Tom opened the door to greet the driver. He shook the man's hand and introduced Frank and himself. Tom and Frank got into the back of the long stretch limousine. Adam, the driver, closed the door.

"Here we go," Tom said as the driver pulled out of the driveway.

Chapter 41


"It's time to put on your dress, Molly. Eddie, Kathy, Brad, and Jenny are going to be here soon," Erin said as she sat next to her cousin on Molly's bed. "We're going to have fun tonight. I wish Frank could have come down, but we'll have a blast anyway."

Nodding, Molly stood up. She removed her robe, moved to her full-length mirror, and looked at herself. Earlier that day, the girls all went to a salon to have their hair and nails done. Erin went to Molly's house to put on her makeup and get dressed with her cousin.

Molly touched her hair, pushing one of two red curls hanging along her cheeks back a bit. She tugged at the cups of her new sheer pink bra, noting how her areolas showed through the delicate material. The matching garter framed her thong panties and held up the stockings she'd decided to wear. All of the girls purchased similar lingerie at the shop where Jenny's mom worked.

Erin helped Molly put on the new gown. She zipped it up for Molly and then smoothed the shimmering material.

"You look great, Molly," Erin said as she turned Molly around. She adjusted the front of the dress, making sure Molly's bra wasn't showing.

"You look good too, Erin. That dark blue dress fits you like a glove," Molly said.

The two girls finished primping. They went out to the living room to wait for their friends to arrive. Laura and Ted watched their daughters walk into the room. The girls modeled their gowns for their parents, giggling at the comments they received. Joel told Molly and Erin that they looked elegant.

"What time are the other kids supposed to arrive?" Ted asked.

"They will be here at about five thirty, Dad," Erin said.

While they talked, Cindy and her Mom showed up. The three girls compared dresses while Cindy's mom, Clair, gave Ted a quick kiss.

"Sorry we're late. Cindy spent way too long getting ready," Clair said while slipping her arm around Ted.

Ted and Clair had been dating for several months. They planned to move in together after the school year ended. The idea of living in the same house and the possibility of becoming stepsisters excited Erin and Clair.

The parents took pictures of the girls as they stood together posing. Cindy's date was due to arrive shortly to take her to the junior prom. When Erin asked about Kevin, Cindy smiled. The girls went to the kitchen to talk away from their parents.

"I thought you and Kevin broke up," Molly said.

"We did, but we're back together—at least for now," Cindy said.

"You told me you weren't going back with him after he went out with what's her name," Erin said.

"I don't know why I do it, Erin. Kevin can be such a jerk sometimes. He begged me to take him back and I did. I know he's going to just do it again," Cindy said.

"So why do you keep going back with him?" Erin asked.

"I decided to give him another chance," Cindy said. "Kevin and I have been planning to go to the prom and if we didn't go together, neither of us would have a date."

"What's wrong with that? Molly and I don't have dates for the prom." Erin put her arm around Molly and giggled. "We're going together."

"I thought you didn't like girls," Cindy said as she giggled.

"I don't, but who can refuse a cute redhead with big boobs?" Erin said, causing all three of them to laugh.

"Why isn't Kevin taking the other girl?" Molly asked Cindy.

"It turns out she used him to get back at her boyfriend. Lesley didn't like Kevin. She wanted to make some guy jealous. I found out that they didn't even have sex. That was a rumor," Cindy said.

"Kevin would have had sex if she would have let him, wouldn't he?" Molly said.

"Probably, but that's because he's always thinking with his dick. I've been mean to him for the past two weeks." Cindy giggled. "I haven't let him touch me."

Erin laughed and said, "Is that going to change anytime soon?"

"Maybe, I'm horny," Cindy said with a grin.

"Are you going to the hotel after the dance?" Erin said.

"I plan on it. I think I'll make Kevin sweat for a while before I tell him though. He's been so nice since we talked. I don't think I can keep him hanging too long," Cindy said.

The doorbell rang. Cindy giggled and then said, "Well, that should be him now. Don't let him know what we've talked about."

The three girls went to the living room to see Kevin. He came in, said hello to everyone and then smiled at Cindy.

"You look great, Cindy. All of you do," Kevin said. He handed Cindy a box with a corsage in it. "This is for you. Want me to help you put it on?"

Cindy nodded. She removed the flowers from the box and handed Kevin the corsage. Holding her hand out, Cindy watched Kevin slip the flowers on her wrist. Clair moved Kevin and her daughter so she could take their picture. The couple posed for several shots before Molly and Erin joined them.

"We have to go, Cindy. My mom wants us to stop at the house so she can see you and me all dressed up," Kevin said.

Cindy and Kevin told Molly and Erin they would see them at the dance. They left the house so they could stop at Kevin's house before going to dinner.

At Jenny and Eddie's house, Jenny, Brad, Eddie, and Kathy waited for Tom to arrive. Brad and Eddie sat with the girls, talking about the upcoming surprise they planned for Molly and Erin.

"This could backfire on us you know. We might hurt Molly," Kathy said.

"What do you mean?" Jenny replied.

"Well, what if she thinks we asked Tom to come because Eddie and I didn't want to take her as our date?" Kathy said.

"We didn't ask Tom, Kim offered to have him come," Eddie said.

"We know that, but Molly doesn't. I hope we didn't screw up," Kathy said.

"Don't worry about it, Kathy. I'm sure Molly will understand after we explain everything to her," Jenny said. "The last thing I want is to hurt her."

When the doorbell rang, Jenny jumped up. She went to the door, opening it for Frank and Tom. Kathy joined her, greeting the two boys. Tom and Frank walked into the house. They took a few moments to greet everyone and then sat down.

"How are you doing, Tom?" Eddie said.

"To be truthful, I'm as nervous as hell," Tom replied.

"Don't be, everything will be great," Eddie said. "In fact, I have an idea."

Eddie told the others his plan. By the time he finished, everyone agreed that what Eddie proposed would be a good idea.

Jenny, Eddie, Brad, and Kathy's parents came in from the backyard. They chatted with the teens, took pictures and told them they should get going. Ellen told the kids that she and the other parents would follow the limo to Molly's house so they could take pictures of the entire group.

Eddie gave Tom the flowers for Molly. Jenny bought a corsage for Erin and gave it to Frank. They went out to the limo and got in. On the way, Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy thanked Tom for getting the car. Tom quickly told them it was his Dad and Uncle Don that arranged everything.

The limo pulled up in front of Molly's house. The teens climbed out and headed for the door. As they planned, Frank slipped around the side of the house to stay out of sight. Jenny knocked on the door. The group waited for someone to answer. Tom stood back behind Eddie and Brad.

Laura opened the door for the teens. Jenny, Kathy, Eddie, and Brad filed in. Tom lagged back a few steps. Molly and Erin began grinning when their friends came into the living room.

"Hi, Tom. What are you doing here?" Molly said the moment she saw him.

"Hi, Molly. They told me Erin needed a date so I came down," Tom replied. "Hi, Erin."

Erin furrowed her brow. "Um, hi." She turned to Jenny and Kathy. "What's going on, you know I'm in love with Frank?"

"We know, but we thought you'd like a date for tonight," Kathy said as she fought the urge to laugh.

"I appreciate you making the trip, Tom, but I don't know about this. What if Frank found out and got mad at me?" Erin said.

"I don't think Frank would mind, Erin. I guess I could ask him if it would be okay—that is if you want to go to the prom with me," Tom said, reciting what the group planned.

"Tom, I don't know how to tell you, but I just don't thing this is a good idea," Erin said.

"If Frank says it's okay will you go with him?" Jenny said.

Erin shrugged her shoulders.

"I'm going to ask Frank. If he says no, I'll figure out something else to do," Tom said.

Tom turned around. Sticking his head out the door, he said, "Hey, Frank, can I take Erin to the prom?"

Turning around, Tom looked at Erin. "Frank said he didn't want you to go with me."

"You're a nut Tom!" Erin said and then she giggled.

"I'm not kidding. Ask him yourself if you don't believe me," Tom said. He opened the door again. Frank stepped into the doorway and smiled.

"Are you sure I can't take Erin to the prom?" Tom said.

Erin let out an ear-piercing screech. She pushed past the others and threw herself against Frank. Frank and Erin kissed each other for several moments. When they separated, everyone started laughing.

"How did you get here? I didn't think you could come down," Erin said while clinging to Frank.

"I came with Tom. He called me and asked if I wanted a ride," Frank said. "We flew down on a private jet."

Turning to Tom, Erin said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You had me going there." She moved close to Tom and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Once things settled down, Erin said, "So who are you going to the prom with, Tom?"

"I don't know. I heard there was an extra seat at the table so I decided to join you guys." Tom looked at Molly. "I would be honored if you would go with me tonight, Molly."

Molly swallowed hard. She looked at Tom and then at Kathy and Eddie. Kathy smiled as she nodded her head. Molly took Kathy's hand, dragging her out of the room.

"What are you doing, Kathy? Did you ask Tom to take me to the prom?" Molly said.

"No, actually, it was Kim. She called and offered to have Tom take you. Look, you don't have to if you don't want to. I'll be Tom's date and you can be with Eddie. We, Eddie and I, wanted to make sure you would have a good time tonight. We know you were leery about going with Eddie and me.

"The four of us can go as a group too, if that would make you feel better," Kathy said.

Molly mulled over the situation. She didn't know what to think or do. Kathy wrapped her arms around Molly. Kathy gave her a kiss and said, "Please don't think we did this because we didn't want to be with you tonight—we do. Eddie and I thought it would more fun for you if you had a date other than us. Molly, we love you and want you to be happy."

The two girls hugged for a moment. When they walked back into the living room, they held hands. When Tom saw them, he put his arm around Eddie's shoulders. "Well, I guess it's you and me tonight."

Eddie grinned. He nodded and said, "Okay, but I get to lead when we dance."

"Only half the time," Tom said, sending the room into a fit of laughter.

Once the laughter subsided, Tom offered Molly the corsage he had for her. She thanked Tom as he put it on her wrist.

Laura told the kids she wanted to get pictures of the group. Tom ran out to the limo to get his camera. For the next twenty minutes, the teens posed for the cameras. Harry, Ellen, Sarah, and Jack Waters showed up to join the festivities. Tom asked Harry to take pictures with his camera for him.

As the couples moved around, Molly found herself standing next to Tom. She looked up at him and smiled. Tom put his arm around Molly's shoulders and posed with her while the parents snapped away with the cameras.

"Thanks, Kim would kill me if I didn't come home with a picture of you and me together," Tom said.

Molly looked shocked, but didn't say anything. The group moved outdoors so the parents could get a few pictures of the kids next to the limo. Once the photo session finished, the girls put the duffel bags they packed in the trunk of the limo. The teens climbed in the long car, jockeying for seats.

Erin and Frank sat very close together. They didn't' pay much attention to the others while they made up for lost time. From the moment they sat next to each other, the two of them made out without pause.

The driver pulled away from the curb. He drove through the neighborhood and then turned onto a main road.

"This is great," Jenny said as she held Brad's hand. "I'll have to remember to thank your dad, Tom."

Tom nodded. He glanced at Molly and smiled at her. Molly returned the smile, but then she turned away. She sat between Tom and Kathy, wondering what was going on as well as what she would do.

The limo driver pulled up to the front door of one of the area's most exclusive restaurants. He opened the door, holding it so the teens could get out. In the restaurant, the host greeted the teens. Tom gave the man his name. The host nodded and led the group to their table. He held the girls' chairs as they sat down.

Two servers came to the table. They took drink orders from group and left. Molly glanced at Kathy, stood up, and cocked her head toward the restrooms. All of the girls got up and left.

"What is going on?" Molly said to Kathy. "Do you want me to be Tom's date tonight?"

"I want you to have a good time, Sweetie. You can do whatever you want to as long as you have a good time," Kathy said.

Jenny took her cell phone out of her purse. While Kathy and Molly talked, she called Kim. The two girls arranged to have the call as soon as Jenny could get Molly away from Tom and the other boys.

"Here, it's for you, Molly," Jenny said as she handed the telephone to Molly.

Giving Jenny a strange look, Molly took the telephone from her.

"Hello," Molly said.

"Hi, Molly, this is Kim. How are you doing?" Kim said.

"Um, okay I guess," Molly said.

"Look, this was all my idea. I suggested that Tom go down to take you to the prom. I asked Kathy and Eddie about it before we cooked up our plan. If you have to be mad at anyone, be mad at me. Don't blame Kathy or Eddie. Honey, if they didn't love you, they wouldn't have agreed," Kim said.

"What about you?" Molly said in almost a whisper.

Kim giggled. "What about me?"

"I mean Tom is your boyfriend—isn't he?"

"Molly, I love Tom. I love you too. We all know we're too young to be tied down. What ever happens, I will still love you," Kim said. "You have to get back to your friends. Tell everyone I said hi. Most importantly, have a great time tonight," Kim said. She giggled and added, "Sally and I are going to double team Jack all weekend."

"You're crazy, Kim," Molly said.

"Yeah, I guess I am. Oh, I want to tell you that Tom is great in the sack! Have a blast, Sweetie," Kim said with a giggle.

"KIM! I can't do that," Molly said.

"Why not, don't you know how?" Kim replied.

"That's not what I mean."

"I know, but just so you know, I plan to seduce Eddie as soon as we move down there. He's cute," Kim said.

"You are so bad, Kim," Molly said.

"I don't think so. In fact, I'll seduce you too and then you'll know I'm good," Kim said. "Have fun and give me a call tomorrow."

"By, Kim. Thanks, I love you," Molly said.

Kim didn't respond. Molly closed the phone and handed it to Jenny. She giggled, turned to Kathy and said, "I'll be Tom's date tonight and see how things go."

"What did Kim say?" Kathy said.

"She told me it was her idea for Tom to come down and take me to the prom. Kim also said Tom is good in bed," Molly replied with a grin.

"Maybe you'll get a chance to find out. If you do, remember that Eddie and I love you and we want you to have fun. If you and Tom have sex, we won't be mad," Kathy said.

The girls finally left the restroom. When they arrived at the table, they shifted their seats so Molly sat next to Tom. The boys all glanced around, looking at the girls. Molly leaned close to Tom so she could whisper in his ear.

"Thanks for coming down to be my date tonight. I'm sorry if I acted weird," Molly said.

Tom chuckled as he nodded. "I don't think you acted weird at all. We'll have a good time tonight, Molly. Just so you know, I have no expectations other than enjoying our evening."

"You're sweet, so is Kim," Molly said.

Tom ordered appetizers for the table. The four couples munched on shrimp cocktail, oysters, clams, fried cheese sticks and the other items on the large platter. Tom asked Molly for a suggestion. She pointed at the surf and turf, asking if it would be okay to order it. Tom said she could have anything she wanted.

"Molly says the surf and turf is good here, that's what I'm going to order," Tom said. "By the way, dinner is complements of my dad and uncle."

"They don't have to pay for our food," Brad said.

"I know, but Dad told me he and Uncle Don would take care of dinner. You can call my dad or uncle if you want to argue with them," Tom said. He turned to Molly. "Have you eaten here before?"

"Yes, Joel brought Mom and I here once," Molly replied. "I had the surf and turf then. That's how I know it's good. They have great garlic mashed potatoes, but I don't want bad breath tonight."

Tom chuckled and said, "Garlic mashed sound good to me. I'll get them too so we'll both have bad breath."

Giggling, Molly nodded her head.

The teens all ordered the surf and turf when the server came back to take their orders. Unlike most restaurants, the surf and turf consisted of a whole Maine lobster instead of just a tail.

"How was your flight, Frank," Jenny asked her cousin.

"It was the best! The plane picked me up at a small executive terminal. I didn't have to wait in line or go through the security," Frank said. "Maybe you'll get to fly on a private plane someday."

"She will, all of you will fly on the jet when you come up to Michigan to fish in a couple weeks," Tom said. "Do you like fishing, Frank?"

"Fishing is okay. I don't get as geeked as the rest of you do though. I do like going on the boat," Frank said.

"I like boating better than fishing too," Erin said.

"You two will have to go out with us this summer. Even if you only go for the boat ride," Tom said.

The dinners came and the server passed them out to the teens. As they ate, everyone complemented the food. "My steak is cooked to perfection," Eddie said.

"So is mine. This lobster melts in your mouth," Kathy said. "How is your food, Jenny?"

"Excellent, this is one of the best meals I've ever had in a restaurant," Jenny said.

The praise went on until everyone finished. The guys sat back, groaning because they felt so full. The girls also complained about eating too much. The teens declined desert when the server brought a tray filled with cakes, cheesecake, and other sweet treats.

When the host brought the bill, Tom simply signed it. The host thanked the teens for coming and invited them back. On the way to the car, Molly held Tom's hand.

"You didn't have to give them a credit card," Molly said.

"No, I guess my dad and uncle have an account here now. Dad told me that I would only have to sign the check," Tom said.

When they all got in the limo, Molly sat closer to Tom than she had on the way to the restaurant. There was room on the seat, but Molly ignored it. Kathy and Eddie sat next to Molly and Tom with Kathy next to Molly. On the far end of the long leather seat, Frank and Erin resumed their kissing and hugging.

The driver pulled up in front of the country club. He stopped behind several other limousines to wait his turn at the door. The other cars pulled away so the driver could pull forward. He opened the door for the teens, making sure he didn't watch the girls exit the car.

Jenny led the rest of the group into the country club. She checked the table assignment and pointed at the chart when she found the table the group would sit at for the evening. The teens walked through the elegant hall to their table. Cindy spotted the group, stood up, and waved.

Tom held Molly's chair as she sat down. Brad, Eddie, and Frank noticed what Tom did and mimicked his action. Once they seated the girls, the guys sat beside them. Eddie asked if anyone wanted something to drink. When everyone said they would, he enlisted Brad, Tom, and Frank to help. Kevin got up and followed.

On the way to the bar, Eddie walked next to Tom. "It looks like Molly has relaxed a bit," Eddie said.

"I think so. I can understand how she must have felt when I showed up today," Tom replied.

"Yeah, if I had it to do over, I think I would talk to Molly first. It was a little presumptuous of us to do what we did," Eddie said.

"You think?" Tom replied with a chuckle.

"Kim is a special person, isn't she?" Eddie said to Tom.

"Yes, she's very special, Eddie. I thought there was problem between us when she asked me to come down, but I realize there isn't. She just wanted Molly to have fun," Tom replied.

At the bar, the guys ordered sodas for the group. Each of the boys carried two glasses back to the table. They handed the girls their drinks and sat down again. While they sat at the table, several kids stopped by. Molly and Erin gleefully introduced Tom and Frank as their friends and made sure everyone knew how far the boys traveled to be there. The girls didn't mention the fact that Tom and Frank came down on a private jet.

The band came on stage. The lead singer introduced the band members and then they began to play. The song they started the set with was a fast rock and roll number. Tom stood up, offering his hand to Molly.

"Would you like to dance?" Tom said.

"There isn't anyone out on the dance floor yet," Molly said.

"So, we don't need anyone else, do we?" Tom said.

"We'll dance too," Jenny said as she glanced at Brad.

By the time Tom, Molly, Jenny, and Brad reached the dance floor; other couples were starting to dance. Tom stared into Molly's eyes as he began to move. He remembered the steps Kim and Sally taught him before he ventured down to Florida for the dance. Molly started to grin. Her body swayed with the music as she danced with Tom.

After two fast songs, the band slowed the pace. Tom took Molly in his arm and began to lead. Molly followed, smiling up at Tom. He maintained a proper distance between their bodies as they danced. Molly kept smiling as she followed Tom's steps.

"You're a good dancer," Molly said. She giggled and asked, "Did Kim teach you?"

"Yeah, Kim and Sally helped me learn. I didn't want to embarrass either of us," Tom said.

"That's sweet," Molly said as she closed the gap between them.

Tom and Molly stayed on the dance floor. They danced to every song during the band's first set. When the lead singer announced a break, Tom led Molly back to the table.

"Wow, I didn't think you two were ever going to quit," Kathy said to Molly. She looked past Molly at Tom. "I hope you don't think you're going to have every dance with her tonight."

"I might share, but not too often," Tom replied, causing Molly to giggle.

During the second set, Tom sat at the table while Molly danced with Kathy. The girls moved to the fast song, moving their arms and feet. Tom took out his camera, got up and moved closer. He took several shots of Molly and Kathy before returning to the table. Tom grinned when the music slowed and Molly danced close with Kathy. He watched the two girls as they moved, trying to decide which one of them lead.

Jenny asked Tom to dance. He got up, took her arm, and walked out to the dance floor. He took Jenny in his arms when they got close to Molly and Kathy.

"Are you having a good time tonight?" Jenny asked Tom.

"Yes, I'm having a great time, Jenny. This is a nice place," Tom replied.

"Tom, I think Molly is having a good time too," Jenny said.

"I hope so. Molly is a sweet girl," Tom said.

The song ended so Jenny and Tom returned to the table. Eddie went out to the dance floor to dance with Molly. While they held each other, Eddie kissed Molly's ear.

"Are you enjoying yourself, Sweetie?" Eddie said.

"Yes, I'm having a nice time, Baby. You aren't upset because I've been dancing with Tom, are you?" Molly asked.

"No I'm not. I'm happy that you're having a good time. You know that we're going to Tom's house after the prom, don't you?" Eddie said.

"I didn't know that. I thought we were going to a hotel," Molly replied.

"We were going to, but Tom's parents talked to our parents and they decided they would rather have us at the house. I couldn't tell you before because we wanted to surprise you," Eddie said.

Molly giggled. "Well, you certainly accomplished that. I was very surprised when Tom showed up. I was even more surprised that he came down to be my date tonight," Molly said. "What he did for Frank and Erin is precious. I think that Erin almost pissed her panties."

"It was funny, wasn't it? It was my idea to tease Erin by telling her that Tom came down to take her to the prom," Eddie said.

Molly giggled and smacked Eddie on the arm. "You're a brat, do you know that?"

"Yeah, but you still love me," Eddie said.

"Molly, I'll always love you. I know that someday you're going to find someone special, someone that you'll want for a boyfriend. That won't change how I feel about you." Eddie stopped dancing and looked into Molly's eyes. "Sex isn't love, Baby. I can love you even if you're making love to someone else."

"Eddie, what are you telling me?" Molly said.

"I'm telling you that I love you. And that I always will," Eddie replied as he began to move again. The song ended so Eddie and Molly went back to the table.

"Where's Tom?" Molly asked Jenny.

"He's dancing with Kathy. Didn't you see them out there?" Jenny said.

"No, I was busy talking to Eddie," Molly said.

"Is everything okay?" Jenny said.

"Jenny, I don't know how I could be any better," Molly said.

Tom and Kathy came back to the table. Tom held the chair for Kathy and then sat next to Molly. Brad came back from the bar with a tray full of sodas. He passed out the glasses before sitting down.

"Aren't you two going to dance?" Brad asked Erin and Frank. "You guys haven't moved since we got here."

"We're fine, Brad. Frank and I are catching up," Erin said.

"More like feeling up," Cindy said with a giggle. "You haven't moved your hands from under the tablecloth since we sat down."

Everyone acted shocked for a moment and then they all laughed. Erin's blushing gave away the fact she and Frank were fooling around. Giggling, Jenny smacked Brad on the back. "I'm jealous," Jenny said.

The group of teens laughed and kibitzed. Molly stopped laughing and said, "Oh shit, here comes trouble."

Everyone turned to see Lenny walking toward the table. Behind Lenny, Bobby Jackson and his two friends followed. When Erin saw Bobby, she cringed.

"Hi, Molly," Lenny slurred as he stood behind her. "Who's your new boyfriend?"

"Lenny, please go away. We don't want any trouble from you or your friends," Molly said.

"Trouble? I'm not causing trouble. I just want to know who this guy is. I don't remember ever seeing him before now. What's the matter, did your girlfriend throw you out. You know, like you did to me?" Lenny said.

Tom started to stand up. Molly put her hand on his arm, but Tom didn't stop. Standing nose to nose with Lenny, Tom said, "Hi, I'm Tom. I'm Molly's friend from Detroit. I came down to take her to the prom." Tom offered Lenny his hand.

"Fuck off, Yankee. I was talking to Molly," Lenny said.

"That's right, you were talking to her. Now you're finished talking to her and leaving," Tom said.

"How would you like to get your ass kicked around this room?" Lenny said.

"Sorry, I promised Molly the next dance," Tom said. "Maybe one of your boyfriends will dance with you."

"What the fuck do you think you're doing, trying to make fun of me?" Lenny said as he stood swaying. It was obvious Lenny was drunk.

"No, I'm not trying to make fun of you. You're doing a fine job by yourself, Lenny," Tom said. Tom glanced at Bobby and the other two boys. "Why don't you take him outside so he can get some fresh air?"

Lenny doubled his fists. Stepping back, he looked as if he was ready to take a swing at Tom. When Bobby and the other two boys stepped up, Frank got out of his chair.

"Tom, I think we should escort these guys outside. It looks like Lenny wants to start a fight," Frank said.

All of a sudden, Bobby recognized Frank. He grabbed Lenny's arm and tried to pull him back. "Lenny, we should just leave. I don't think we want any trouble tonight."

"What, from these wimps? Don't make me laugh. Hey, Molly, want to go out to my car. I think you remember the backseat," Lenny said.

Tom put his left hand on Lenny's shoulder. He shoved his right hand between Lenny's legs and grabbed his genitals. Applying pressure, Tom leaned close and whispered, "I've tried to be nice to you, but you're too stupid to realize it. I think you owe Molly an apology. I would suggest you do it while you can still piss standing up. If you say anything else, I'll crush your nuts like the grapes they feel like."

Brad and Eddie stood up. They moved closer to Tom and Lenny to block the view of anyone that walked by. A simple glance from Frank caused Bobby and his two friends to stand back.

Tom glanced at the table. He told Jenny to find one of the chaperones and have him come over. He tightened his grip on Lenny, causing him to gasp.

When Tom saw Jenny heading toward the table, he gave Lenny a final squeeze. Lenny doubled over the moment Tom released him. Kneeling on the floor, Lenny gripped his stomach.

"What's going on here?" Mr. Paulson said when he walked up and looked down at Lenny.

"I think Lenny is drunk, Sir. He seems to be sick too," Tom said.

Kneeling next to Lenny, Mr. Paulson took a deep breath. He shook his head, grabbed Lenny's arm and stood him up. "You know the policy about drinking at school or a school function, don't you Lenny? Our policy is zero tolerance."

Mr. Paulson led Lenny away from the table. Bobby and his friends faded into the crowd that had gathered.

Molly began to cry and wrapped her arms around Tom. She quivered while squeezing him as tightly as she could. Kathy moved close to Molly. She began rubbing Molly's back while telling her everything would be okay. After a moment, Kathy, Jenny, Erin, and Cindy took Molly to the restroom.

"Thanks for taking my back," Tom said to the rest of the guys. "What was that all about anyway?"

Brad and Eddie told Tom about Lenny. They told him how he treated Molly when they dated. Eddie told Tom how Molly broke up with Lenny and how she ended up dating Kathy and him. Brad told Tom about the party at Erin's house when Frank took out Bobby and his two sidekicks.

"I think I overreacted. I should have just gone and found a teacher or someone to handle this. Now I've screwed up the prom for all of you guys," Tom said sadly.

Molly came up behind Tom. She put her arms around his waist and gave him a hug. "You didn't ruin the prom, Tom. You saved it for us," Molly said.

Tom turned around. Molly and the rest of the girls stood near him. "How can you say that?" Tom asked Molly.

"Lenny has been mean to me ever since I broke up with him. If Eddie, Brad, or Kevin had stepped in, they would have gotten into as much trouble as Lenny is in now. The school has a zero tolerance rule about fighting too," Molly said. "It they beat up Lenny, they won't get to go into their next grade."

"That goes for Frank too. He doesn't go to school here so he wouldn't have gotten into any trouble if he kicked Bobby's ass again," Erin said.

Bobby walked over to the table. His two friends stood behind him. When Frank stood up, Bobby held up his hand. "Look, I don't want any trouble. I tried to talk Lenny out of making a scene, but he wouldn't listen. You know how he gets when he starts drinking. I want to say I'm sorry," Bobby said. Bobby's two friends nodded and apologized too.

"Thanks," Tom said.

"No problem. Look, when Lenny sobers up I'll talk to him. If he wants to give any of you any shit, I'll take care of it," Bobby said.

Bobby and his friends walked away before anyone could say anything. The music began again and Molly sidled up to Tom. "Will you dance with me?" Molly said.

Nodding, Tom took Molly's hand. They walked out to the dance floor and started to dance to the slow song the band played. Molly pressed her body against Tom's and moved her hand through the hair on the back of his head. Tom held Molly's waist for a moment before he circled her waist with both hands.

"Thank you for standing up for me, Tom. I know Eddie wanted to, but..."

"Don't worry about it, Molly. Everything is okay now," Tom said, cutting her off before Molly finished her thought. "Let's try to enjoy the rest of the prom."

Tom and Molly danced to every song. The rest of the group danced too, even Erin and Frank. The band announced the last song of the evening. The lights dimmed as the band played an old song that most of the kids didn't know. When the singer began singing, 'Put Your Head on My Shoulder, ' Molly hugged Tom tighter. He rubbed her back, moving his hand over the slick material of her dress. She looked up and gave Tom a kiss.

The song ended and the lights came on. The teens made their way to the table so the girls could gather their purses. They went outside to wait for the limo driver to pull up to the door. Cindy and Kevin told the others goodbye. Tom invited them to the house, but Kevin said they had other plans.

The limo pulled up and the driver jumped out to open the door. The teens climbed in one by one. Tom waited for Molly, watching as she bent at the waist to get into the car. When he sat next to Molly, Tom chuckled.

"What?" Molly said.

Tom shook his head. "I can't tell you want I'm laughing about."

"Why not, is it bad?" Molly asked as she wrapped her arms around one of Tom's arms.

"No, but I don't think I should say anything," Tom said.

"Don't be a brat. Tell me," Molly insisted.

"Well, when I watched you get into the car, I couldn't help thinking about how nice your butt looked," Tom whispered.

"Oh my God, could you see it?" Molly asked.

Shaking his head, Tom said, "No, but I remember how it looks."

Molly giggled as she thought about the time on the boat that Tom told her she had a nice ass. She hugged his arm tighter, pressing it against the side of her breast. Kathy noticed and winked at Molly. The two girls shared glances and they giggled.

The driver took the teens to Tom's house. After all of them got out of the car and retrieved their things from the trunk, the driver said goodbye.

"What do I owe you?" Tom asked the driver.

"Nothing, Sir, your father took care of the bill and my tip. Have a great night," The driver said.

The limo pulled away. Tom told the others to follow him to the guesthouse. Once inside, he told his friends they could put their things in one of the bedrooms. Tom showed Eddie and Kathy to the room Jack and Sally used. He put Molly's duffel bag on the floor next to Kathy and Eddie's.

"You guys can use Jack and Sally's room. It has a king size bed," Tom said. He left to put his bag in his bedroom.

"Is anyone hungry? There's food in the main house," Tom announced.

"I'm hungry," Frank said. Erin nodded and said she was hungry too.

The teens went to the main house. Tom used his key to open the back door so everyone could go inside. In the kitchen, Tom pulled the trays of food out of the refrigerator. He placed them on the counter and then found the bread and rolls. Molly's mom left a note, telling Tom where he would find everything.

Brad helped Tom remove the plastic wrap from the trays. The teens made sandwiches as they milled around the counter. Laura made potato salad as well as a nice relish tray. The group sat at the kitchen table to eat their food. Tom passed out cans of soda before he sat down with his friends.

While they ate, the teens talked about the events at the prom. Molly thanked Tom and Frank for taking care of things the way they did. Both boys tried to remain humble as their friends praised them.

The teens finished eating and all pitched in to clean up the kitchen. They recovered the trays and put the dirty dishes into the dishwasher. Tom suggested they go to the recreation room to relax.

Tom turned on the big screen television. He searched the channels until he found one of the music stations. After adjusting the volume, he sat next to Molly on one of the couches.

"We should take the boat out tomorrow," Brad said. "The weather report says it's going to be in the mid to high eighties with calm winds."

"That would be great," Tom said. "Jack, Sally, and Kim will hate me, but what the heck?"

"Are you going to fish?" Frank asked. He sat in one of the recliners with Erin on his lap.

"We might. It's been a while since we've done any fishing," Eddie said.

"I'd like to go out on the boat," Erin said. "I haven't been on the new boat yet."

The teens decided to take the boat out if their parents would allow them to. They planned to call their parents in the morning. Tom stood up, taking Molly's hand. Pulling her to her feet, Tom asked Molly to dance.

Soon, all four couples were dancing. Tom held Molly close, enjoying the feeling of her body against his. They danced for about twenty minutes before Erin and Frank returned to their seat. The couple began kissing and running their hands over each other.

"I'm going to change," Jenny said. "I want to get comfortable."

Brad wrapped Jenny in a hug. "Why don't we just call it a night? It's after one and if we're going fishing, we should get up early."

"You aren't planning on getting up too early, are you?" Erin said. She giggled and added, "I'm not tired yet."

"How about ten in the morning, is that too early?" Kathy said.

"No, ten will be okay. Does that mean we're leaving at ten or getting up then?" Erin said.

"We should leave by ten. You two can catch a nap on the boat if you don't get enough sleep tonight," Jenny said and then she giggled.

Erin and Frank told everyone good night. With their arms around one another, they left for the guesthouse. The rest of the group couldn't help laughing at the couple's urgency.

"They only get to see each other every few months. I would be in a hurry if I was them too," Kathy said.

"A long distance relationship would suck," Brad said as he put his arm around Jenny.

"You can tell Erin loves Frank. She doesn't go out or flirt with any of the boys at school," Molly said.

"I wonder if Frank is as faithful as Erin is." Eddie said.

"From what Frank told me on the plane, he is. He talked almost nonstop about Erin," Tom said. "He also said he thinks he and his mom will be moving down here soon."

"That will make Erin happy," Molly said.

The teens continued to talk on their way to the guesthouse. When they stepped outside, Jeri said, "Hi, how was the prom?"

They stopped to tell Jeri about the evening, but left out the incident with Lenny.

"We're planning to take the boat out tomorrow. We want to do a little fishing," Tom told Jeri.

"Okay, have a good night and I'll see you in the morning," Jeri said as she turned to leave.

In the guesthouse, the teens milled around in the living room. They said good night to each other and headed to the bedrooms. Jenny and Brad took one of the small rooms. Kathy, Molly, and Eddie went into Jack and Sally's room. Tom shut off the lights and went to his room.

Tom removed his jacket, hanging it on the hanger that came with the rented tuxedo. He kicked off his shoes and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and get ready for bed. When he walked back into the bedroom, he saw Molly standing in the room. She held her duffel bag in one hand as she stood smiling. Molly dropped the bag and walked over to Tom.

Turning around, Molly said, "Tom, would you please help me with my zipper?"

Tom moved closer. He located the tiny zipper tab and began to lower it. As he did, he gazed at Molly's back. Once he lowered the zipper as far as it would go, Tom released the tab. He cleared his throat and said, "There you go."

Molly turned around. She used one hand to hold her dress against her chest. "Thank you, Tom—thanks for everything," Molly said as she slowly lowered the front of her gown.

Tom swallowed and nodded his head.

Chapter 42


"I wonder how Tom's night is going." Kim said as she sat on the couch next to her brother.

Looking around Jack, Sally grinned and said, "I'll bet he's having fun."

Jack listened to his sister and Sally. The two girls talked about what their friends and Tom might be doing. Kim told Sally that Tom had remembered how to dance and that she was sure Molly would enjoy herself.

"Why did you do that, Kim? I mean, why did you insist that Tom go to the prom with Molly?" Jack said.

"Because I wanted to," Kim replied. She didn't look at her brother when she spoke.

"There's something going on, isn't there?" Jack said.

"No, Jack, there isn't anything going on. Why can't you see that I just wanted Molly to have a good time?" Kim said.

"What about Tom?" Jack said.

"What about him?" Kim replied.

"Are you two still getting along? Has Tom said he wants things to change?" Jack said. Sally moved closer to Jack, putting her arm over his shoulders.

Shaking her head, Kim said, "No."

"Do you want things to change, Kim?" Sally asked.

"No, I don't want things to change, but I do want to be able to expand my horizons so to speak. In a very short time, we're going to move. We're going to meet new people and do new things. I don't want to feel that I'm attached to Tom, or anyone else, at the hip," Kim said.

"Does that mean you want to go out with other guys?" Jack asked his sister,

"Yeah, I guess it does. Look, I love Tom—I love him to pieces. Tom and I get along great and," Kim giggled, "he's great in bed. This isn't about Tom. It's about me. I'm going to be sixteen soon and the last thing I want is to be in a committed relationship. I want to, no, I'm going to have fun."

Kim shifted, pulling her legs under her and facing Jack and Sally. "You two are different. Sally has made her choice and you seem to accept it, Jack. I think it's cool that you two love each other the way you do. As I said, I love Tom, but it's different for me."

"Have you talked to my brother about this?" Sally said.

"Yes, Tom and I have talked about it. Not in detail, but we've talked. He knows that I don't want to be tied down and that, because we're cousins, the odds of us spending the rest of our lives together are slim." Kim grinned and then she giggled. "That doesn't mean I plan to stop fucking him."

Jack smiled at his sister. He moved his arm, placing it around her waist. Pulling Kim closer, he slid his hand up to her breast. Kim grinned as Jack gently squeezed her breast.

"Are you going to stop fucking me?" Jack said.

Giggling, Kim said, "No, not unless you don't want to fool around with me."

"Hey, what about me?" Sally said.

"You know I'll still fool around with you, Sally," Jack said. "You're mine and I love you."

"I know, but I was talking to Kim," Sally said.

Kim leaned across Jack. She put her hand behind Sally's head and pulled their mouths together. Kim gave Sally a hot, open—mouth kiss and then pulled back. "Does that answer your question?"

Scooting closer to Jack, Kim rested her head against his shoulder. He continued to fondle Kim's breast, causing her to sigh. "Do you think I'm wrong, Jack?" Kim said. Her voice was almost a whisper.

Jack moved his hand from Kim's breast to her hip. Patting her lightly, Jack said, "I can't tell you what is right or wrong for you, Kim. You have to make that decision. If you want to find a boyfriend, it's up to you."

"That's my point. I don't want a boyfriend, not a steady one. If Tom found someone, I wouldn't be mad, I'd be happy for him." Kim giggled. "I just hope he would still want to sleep with me. I love being able to snuggle and stuff."

"I know what kind of stuff you like," Sally said.

"Look who's talking. You're as much of a minx as I am," Kim said.

"You two are a pair. Tom and I are lucky that we have sisters as cool as you two are," Jack said.

"We're lucky too, Jack. Sally and I have the greatest brothers a girl could ask for. Look, we all know we're not normal teenagers, not like most of the other kids we know. Although, most of our friends are a little different too," Kim said.

"How so?" Sally said with a giggle.

"Well, first off there's Lisa and Megan. They broke up with Jack and Tom so they could be together. Then there's Brad. He turned out to be gay. I think that Paul is one of the only boys that's close to normal, at least out of our friends up here.

"Jenny and Eddie have sex. So does Kathy and her brother Brad. Kathy and Eddie is a couple and they have Molly as a girlfriend. You two have fooled around with Jenny and Brad. Let's face it; our friends and us are different. Not that I mind, I think it's cool," Kim said.

"Do you think we would have turned out this way if our parents hadn't won the money?" Sally said.

Jack chuckled and said, "We'll never know. I do know that I thought about you two before they won the money. Who knows, maybe we would have ended up screwing around and poor."

"We weren't poor, Jack. We just didn't have as much money as we have now. Our parents don't have to pinch pennies anymore, but we didn't live in cardboard boxes. I think we did fine before the money," Sally said.

"I know, that's not what I meant. Let's face it; we are now what people refer to as privileged. I think we're doing a good job of not turning into spoiled brats. Sure, we can do things most other people only dream of, but that's only because our parents are so generous. They could be like some of the parents of the kids we went to school with at the Academy. We could be like some of those kids," Jack said.

"Speaking of our parents, when are they supposed to be home?" Kim said.

"I don't know. They went to Mr. and Mrs. Stone's house for a meeting about the property next out Florida house. If they start partying, they might spend the night," Jack said.

Sally put her hand on Jack's leg. Sliding it up to his crotch, Sally said, "How about it, want to party?"

Jack chuckled and gave Sally a kiss. While they kissed, Kim's hand joined Sally's on Jack's crotch. "Am I invited to the party?" Kim said with a giggle.

"Sure, but this party is for naked girls," Jack said.

Kim and Sally laughed. They got up and began undressing each other. Sitting back on the couch, Jack watched them. The telephone rang and Jack jumped up to answer it. When he returned from the kitchen, he began to chuckle.

"That was Mom. She said they wouldn't be home tonight," Jack said. "Um, am I invited to this party?'

Sally removed her head from between Kim's legs. Looking up and Jack, she giggled and said, "This party is for naked people." Sally returned her face to Kim's crotch, moaning as Kim licked her vulva. The two girls had sprawled out on the floor and were happily licking each other's sex. Jack began removing his clothes.

Kneeling between Sally's legs, Jack gripped his penis, and pressed it against Kim's face. She looked up. Smiling, Kim opened her mouth so Jack could feed her his member. She clamped her lips around Jack's shaft, slowly bobbing her head. After a moment, Kim guided Jack into Sally's vagina.

Jack moved in and out of Sally a few times and then presented his penis to Kim again. She sucked him for a moment before returning his penis to Sally's vagina. After a few minutes, and several changes, Jack moved between Kim's legs. Sally took Jack into her mouth and began sucking him. Kim squirmed around so she could lick the part of Jack's shaft that wasn't in Sally's mouth.

"Get on your back," Kim said to Jack.

Jack rolled onto his back. Straddling his body, Kim guided his penis into her vagina. She put her hands on Jack's chest and began to move. Kim rocked her hips, feeling Jack's penis work deep inside her. Sally giggled, straddled Jack's head, and lowered her crotch to his face. Jack held Sally's hips as he stabbed his tongue into her.

Above Jack, Kim and Sally began kissing. They massaged each other's breasts as they rode Jack. It didn't take long for Jack to reach his orgasm. He pushed up into Kim, groaning into Sally's crotch as he began to spew his semen into his sister's vagina. Kim moaned into Sally's mouth when she felt Jack swelling inside her.

"Jack came in my pussy," Kim said as she stared into Sally's eyes.

Sally lifted her crotch off Jack's face. Looking down at him, Sally said, "Is that right? Did you come in Kim?" Smiling, Jack nodded. "Mmmm, I'll bet her pussy would be tasty right now."

"Why don't you find out?" Jack said.

Sally pulled Kim off Jack. Rolling Kim onto her back, Sally lowered her head between her cousin's legs. She licked Kim, cleaning the semen that leaked out of her vagina. Kim planted her feet on the floor. She pushed herself up, trying to increase the contact with Sally's darting tongue. Kim let out a sharp scream and came as Sally lightly bit her clit. A moment later, Kim pushed Sally away.

Scrambling, Sally swooped down on Jack's slick penis. She pulled it into her mouth, sucking the mixed fluids from it. Jack watched Sally bobbing her head and taking his entire length into her warm mouth. Kim sat up, reached out and slapped Sally's butt. Sally moaned, but didn't remove her mouth.

"What was that for?" Jack asked his sister.

"Sally bit me, she bit my clit!" Kim said.

"That makes her a bad girl, doesn't it?" Jack said. Sally moaned as she rubbed her nose against Jack's pubic hair. "I think Sally needs a spanking, don't you?"

Grinning, Kim nodded. She moved closer to Sally and smacked her upturned butt again. Kim gave Sally's bottom several smacks. Sally moaned around Jack's penis. When Kim stopped spanking her, Sally bit down on Jack's penis. It wasn't hard, but Jack knew what she did.

"Now she's biting my cock," Jack said while trying not to laugh. He knew what Sally was doing.

"Such a bad little girl," Kim said as she administered another smack against Sally's bottom. "What are we going to do with her?" Kim began spanking Sally.

Sally pushed her bottom out, moaning as she waited for Kim to slap her again. Each time Kim's hand contacted her butt, Sally wiggled it. Jack's penis began to swell in Sally's mouth. She growled as she felt Jack expanding into her throat.

Kim stopped hitting Sally and rubbed her red bottom. She put her hand between Sally's legs and probed her vagina. Sally opened her legs so Kim could finger her. Kim pushed two fingers into Sally, sawing them in and out.

Sally felt her orgasm building. She wanted Kim to spank her again, but she didn't want to remove her mouth from Jack's penis. Instead, Sally used her teeth on Jack.

"She bit me again!" Jack said.

Keeping one hand between Sally's legs, Kim used her other hand to spank Sally. Seeing Sally squirm, and hearing her moan, caused Kim to get carried away. Kim's fingers pounded into Sally as she slapped as hard as she could. Sally sucked on Jack as a continuous groan came from her throat. When Jack came, Sally pushed her head down so his semen went straight into her throat.

Kim felt Sally's vagina contract around her fingers. She stopped the spanking so she could concentrate on getting Sally off. When Sally's orgasm reached its summit, she pulled her mouth off Jack's penis and screamed.

Removing her hand from between her legs, Kim gently rubbed Sally's butt. Her cheeks glowed from the spanking. Sally rolled onto her side, pulling her legs up to her chest. Jack sat close, running his fingers through Sally's sweat dampened hair.

"Let's go for a swim," Jack said. He moved around so he could scoop Sally into his arms. Kim got up and opened the door to the pool area.

Jack carried Sally into the shallow water. She wrapped her arms around Jack's neck and began kissing his cheek. When Sally felt the cool water on her heated bottom, she flinched. Jack kissed Sally's forehead and kept moving into the deeper water.

"You can put me down now," Sally said. Jack lowered her, letting go when Sally's feet hit the bottom of the pool.

"Are you okay? Did I hurt you?" Kim said as she wrapped her arms around Sally.

"No, you didn't hurt me. You need Jack to teach you how to give a girl a spanking," Sally said as she grinned at Kim.

Kim hugged Sally. The two of them shared a kiss and then they giggled. "Did you have fun? I did," Sally said.

"It was different. I don't think it's something I would want to do again," Kim said.

"Oh pooh, you're no fun at all," Sally said with a giggle.

Looking at Jack, Kim said, "She's weird, isn't she?"

"I don't think so, but then I love her," Jack said. "When you love someone as much as I love Sally, you do things to make that person happy."

Sally giggled as she squirmed out of Kim's arms. She moved over to Jack and gave him a tender kiss. "My baby understands me." Sally glanced at Kim. "Thanks, it was nice of you to join us."

Kim, Jack, and Sally stayed in the pool for a few minutes. Sally enjoyed the feeling of the cool water on her warm bottom. Kim decided to get out so Sally and Jack followed her. The three of them sat on lounges, relaxing.

"I'm ready for round two," Sally said with a giggle. "Who wants to go upstairs?"

Laughing, Jack sat up. "You are one horny little thing tonight, aren't you?"

"What do you mean tonight? I'm always horny," Sally said. She turned to Kim. "Are you going to come with us? I want you to."

"Why not? I don't have a better offer tonight," Kim said with a giggle. She got up and hooked her arm through Sally's arm. "Let's give Jack a night to remember."

Jack, Kim, and Sally shut off the lights. They went upstairs and into Jack and Sally's bedroom. Sally pulled the covers back and beckoned Kim to join her. Jack waited for the girls to get comfortable before he sat on the edge of the bed.

"Aren't you going to get in with us?" Kim said.

Shaking his head, Jack said, "I thought I'd watch for a few minutes."

Kim grinned. She turned to Sally and the two girls began kissing and hugging each other. Jack sat quietly, watching them.

-------

Don, Marc, and Sam sat in Jerry Stone's home office. Joel was on the telephone from Florida. In the family room, Marge, Anne, Liz, and Joanne talked about what was happening in their lives.

"We made the deal on the property today," Joel said. "The bank was more than happy with your offer, Don and Marc. They thought they were going to be stuck with it. The old owner is going to end up serving time for arson."

"What about the inspection? Did you get the report back yet?" Jerry asked.

"Verbally, I'll get the written report on Monday. I'll fax it to you," Joel said. "The inspector said that the foundation is okay, but the rest of the structure has to come down. The house was built post Hurricane Andrew so the foundation is almost indestructible."

"We're going to want it removed. I think we'll start from scratch so we can design the new house the way we want to," Don said. "How about the seawall, is it in good shape?"

"Yes, there wasn't any damage to the seawall, the pool, or the cabana," Joel said.

Leaning closer to the speakerphone, Sam said, "Have you made arrangements with the bank so we can close?"

"Yes, I will email you the information after we're finished here," Joel said.

The men finished their business. Before hanging up, Marc said, "How are the kids doing?"

"I assume they're fine. Laura and I took a lot of pictures when they were at the house. I'll send them to you," Joel said. "All of the girls looked great and the guys looked very handsome. Laura made food for them so when they get to your house, they'll have something to eat."

"Great, thanks, Joel. We'll see you soon. Let us know when we need to come down for the closing," Marc said.

The conversation ended. Everyone said goodbye to Joel before Jerry hung up. The men went into the living room to visit with the women.

"It looks like we're on track for the new property," Don said after sitting on the couch next to Marge. "Joel is handling everything down there."

"Joanne, it looks like you're going to have another house to decorate this summer," Anne said.

"I'll see if I can fit you in. I've picked up several new clients," Joanne said and then she chuckled. "Just let me know what you want and when you want it."

"Are you still planning to let the kids help with the design of the house?" Anne said as she looked at her brother.

"They'll help, but with a lot of guidance. I want to make sure the house is something we can sell if we decide to," Don said.

Jerry offered the group fresh drinks. He went to the small bar in the family room to mix drinks for his friends. Liz passed the drinks out as Jerry finished mixing them.

"How are Lisa and Megan doing? I haven't seen them in awhile," Marge said as she accepted her cocktail from Liz.

"They're doing well, Marge. Now that they are living together in Bob and Dianne's old house, I don't see much of Megan. She stops by a couple times a week and I have gone to her house to visit her," Liz said. "She seems very happy."

"I talked to Bob yesterday. He said the golf course is ready to open as soon as the weather improves. He said he already has lessons booked. The clubhouse is finished and Bob has his new inventory. It looks as if things are moving smoothly for him," Marc said.

"We'll have to book a round. I wonder if Bob will give us a discount," Don said.

"What would you like to drink, Joanne?" Liz said.

"Um, I'll have a soda, Liz," Joanne replied.

"Not drinking tonight?" Anne said.

Joanne took Sam's hand. She glanced at him and then smiled. Sam winked at his wife and chuckled. "I won't be drinking alcohol for awhile," Joanne said with a smile. "I'm pregnant."

"Wow, when did you become pregnant?" Marge said. "Oh, and congratulations."

"Sam and I found out a week ago. I missed so I bought one of those home tests. When it showed positive, I went to the doctor and he confirmed that I am indeed pregnant," Joanne said.

The women made a fuss over Joanne's news. Don, Marc, and Jerry shook hands with Sam, congratulating him. The men gave Joanne hugs and told her they were happy for her and Sam.

"When are you due?" Liz asked as she placed her hand on Joanne's stomach.

"January, maybe the end of December," Joanne replied.

Chuckling, Liz moved her hand up to Joanne's breast. "Are you going to breast feed?"

"I want to. It depends on the baby and my ability to produce enough milk," Joanne said as she smiled and leaned against Liz's hand.

Liz gave Liz a kiss on the cheek. "I'm so happy for you and Sam. Have you had any morning sickness yet?"

"No, not yet. Sam and I are going to start on the nursery as soon as we know what we're having," Liz said.

"Marge and I didn't know until the kids were born. I liked it better that way, I liked the surprise," Anne said.

"Sam and I have decided to find out. As I said, I want to remodel one of the bedrooms as a nursery," Joanne replied. She smiled at her friends and took a deep breath.

"Sam and I also talked about the parties we have, you know, the sex parties. We don't want to stop until we have to," Joanne said.

Liz, Marge, and Anne laughed. "You have certainly changed, haven't you, Jo?" Liz said.

"Yes, and I like it." Joanne giggled and said, "So does Sam. We love to talk about the things we used to do while we're making love. I still get tingly when I think about the first time we all did it together."

"That was a wild night, wasn't it?" Marge said.

"It was a wonderful night for me. I discovered that I could live out some of the fantasies I have, or should I say, I used to have. Sam's and my sex life has never been better," Joanne said.

"It's amazing how much fun sex can be when you realize it isn't wrong to enjoy it, isn't it?" Marge said.

"Yes, it sure is fun. I can't believe I bought into all those things my mom told me. Once I learned that sex and love are two different things, I was able to enjoy both completely. I know that Sam loves me and he knows I love him. Now when he looks at another woman, I don't get all weird and jealous. I know he isn't going to cheat on me," Joanne said.

Liz pointed at the mini skirt Joanne wore. "You've changed the way you dress too."

Giggling, Joanne said, "Yeah, Sam loves me in short skirts and tight tops. I don't own a pair of pantyhose anymore." Joanne lifted her skirt to show the woman her stockings. When the men whistled and cheered, she wiggled her hips. "Sam likes me to wear stockings and garters. If you ask me, Sam has a lingerie fetish."

"Honey, I think all men have a lingerie fetish! I know that Marc and Don do. Marge and I are forbidden to wear pantyhose," Anne said. She smiled at Joanne. "Don doesn't allow it."

"Sam and I have a sexy clothes fund. We save money and then he takes me shopping. While we're shopping, I show him each outfit before we buy it. We've been caught in the same dressing room a couple times," Joanne said.

Liz chuckled and said, "Sam sounds like Jerry. My hubby has been telling me what to wear ever since we got together with Marge, Anne, and their husbands. Frankly, I love the fact that Jerry has become involved. It has added to our relationship."

Don walked over to where the women sat. He winked at Joanne, put his hands on her knees, and pushed her skirt up. His fingers stroked Joanne's outer thighs. "I didn't get to see you flashing the others," Don said.

Joanne grinned. "Like what you see?"

"You bet I do. You have sexy legs," Don said as he continued to stroke Joanne's legs.

"If you keep that up, you're going to get me all hot and bothered," Joanne said while looking up at Don.

"Well, I can stop if you don't want me to turn you on," Don said as he moved his thumbs to Joanne's mons.

"You don't have to stop, but you're going to have to take care of me after you crank me up," Joanne said.

Don knelt on the floor in front of Joanne. He moved his hands up, gripped the waistband of her panties, and began tugging on them. Joanne lifted her butt so Don could remove the garment. Don removed Joanne's panties, carefully working them over the high heels she wore.

"My, what a nice pussy you have, miss," Don said as he stroked Joanne between her legs.

Joanne pulled her skirt up around her waist. She parted her legs, giving Don access to her sex. Don leaned forward and licked the length of her vulva. Joanne let out a stifled moan as Don's tongue teased her.

"Damn, I need some of that," Liz said. She stood up and removed her slacks and panties. Before sitting down, Liz took off her top and bra. She looked across the room at the other men and chuckled. "Do any of you handsome men want to take care of me?"

Marc stood up. He moved across the room and leaned over so he could give Liz a kiss. Marc's hands went to her breasts as his tongue pressed into Liz's mouth. Liz reached for Marc's belt. She continued to kiss Marc as she undid his pants. Liz tugged Marc's pants down and wrapped her hand around his stiffening penis. Standing up, Marc removed the remainder of his clothes. He took Liz's hand, pulling her to her feet.

Sitting on the couch next to Joanne, Marc guided Liz to her knees. He gripped his penis and rubbed it against Liz's lips. She opened her mouth, taking him in.

Sam and Jerry got up to join the fun. Jerry and Marge moved to another couch. Sam began kissing Anne and undressing her.

A few moments later, the four couples were all naked. The room became a sea of naked bodies, filled with the sounds of moans, noisy sucking, and slapping flesh. For the next hour, they enjoyed sex with one another. The group swapped partners several times. Once the men couldn't perform, the women cuddled together. They lapped at each other, cleaning up one another's sated sexes.

At midnight, the group decided the beds would be more comfortable. Pairing up, they went upstairs. Before going into separate rooms, the husbands and wives kissed each other. Joanne took Don's hand, leading him into one of the bedrooms. Marc and Marge shared another. Jerry took Anne to his room while Liz and Sam went to the room that used to be Megan's bedroom.

-------

Tom watched as Molly slowly lowered her dress. He gazed at the frilly pink bra she wore as the dress gathered at Molly's waist. Molly stepped out of the dress, allowing Tom to see the rest of her lingerie. Molly's panties and garter matched her bra. Leaning over, Molly picked up her dress.

"Do you want to hang your dress in the closet?" Tom said. He felt like his throat was constricted.

"Yes please," Molly replied, feeling her cheeks warm.

Tom pointed at the closet. Molly opened the door, found a hanger, and hung up her dress.

"Um, do you want to use the bathroom first? I planned to take a shower before I went to bed. I'm sweaty from dancing," Tom said.

Molly nodded. She went to her bag and looked inside. Realizing she hadn't brought anything to sleep in, Molly turned to Tom.

"I didn't bring anything to sleep in." Molly looked down. "I thought I would be sleeping with Eddie and Kathy."

"You can go sleep with them, Molly," Tom said.

Shaking her head, Molly said, "Um, they said they wanted to be alone tonight."

Tom went to his dresser. He opened a drawer and pulled out a long tee shirt. From another drawer, he pulled out a pair of running shorts. "Here, these should fit you," Tom said as he handed the items to Molly.

"Thanks, I'll be out in a few minutes," Molly said and then she went into the bathroom.

Molly removed the rest of her clothes. She took the pins out of her hair and shook her thick red tresses until they began to uncoil. Stepping into the shower, Molly turned on the water. She stepped under the spray, letting the warm water cascade over her head and down her body. While shampooing, Molly began to cry. She didn't understand why Kathy and Eddie rejected her or what Tom expected. For the first time that night, Molly felt she'd made a mistake by going to the prom.

It wasn't that she didn't enjoy dinner and the dance. She loved it. It had been wonderful dancing with Tom as well as the others. Molly's only regret was that she wasn't in bed with Eddie and Kathy. She had been planning since she decided to go to the prom.

By the time she finished in the shower, Molly stopped crying. She dried off and then used the blow dryer on her hair. As she dressed in the tee shirt and shorts, Molly decided that she would have sex with Tom.

Tom hung his tuxedo on the hangers and waited for Molly to come out of the bathroom. He paced the room, turning down the bed for something to do. His penis was once again flaccid. He became aroused while watching Molly undress.

Molly came out of the bathroom. She forced a smile and said, "It's your turn."

"Thanks, I'll be finished in a few minutes," Tom said as he walked past Molly and into the bathroom. He closed the door and began to remove his boxers. Realizing he hadn't grabbed something to wear to bed, Tom went back into the room.

"I forgot something to wear," Tom said as he found a pair of nylon shorts in his drawer.

Molly, sitting on the edge of the bed, nodded. Tom returned to the bathroom so he could shower. While standing under the showerhead, Tom began fondling his penis. He stroked himself until he came. While he jacked off, Tom thought about Molly.

"I'm finished," Tom said as he came out of the bathroom a few minutes later. He glanced at the bed, noticing that Molly had stretched out and covered herself.

Turning off the light, Tom got into bed. The light from the bathroom illuminated the room. Molly rolled onto her side, facing Tom. She scooted closer and kissed him. Tom put his arm around Molly and kissed her back.

"Thank you for coming down to take me to the prom. I had a wonderful time," Molly said.

"So did I, Molly. It was fun dancing with you tonight," Tom replied.

Molly put her hand on Tom's chest. Rubbing him slowly, she moved her hand toward his crotch. When her hand ran over his genitals, Tom reached for Molly's hand. He pulled it away and placed it on her hip. Tom kissed Molly tenderly and then moved away.

"Molly, you don't have to do anything. Just going to the prom with you was great," Tom said. He gave her another kiss. "It's been a long day and I'm kind of tired."

Hugging Tom, Molly kissed him again. "Thank you," Molly said.

Tom returned Molly's hug and kiss. "You know, it isn't that I don't want to—I do. It's just that I think we should take our time and see what happens. I don't want you to feel you own me anything. I came down here to take you to the prom. I don't expect anything else."

Molly felt her eyes fill with tears. She nodded, kissed Tom and then rolled over. Molly hugged her pillow, her back to Tom. After a moment, Tom rolled away on to his side.

Molly heard Tom's breathing change, followed a few moments later by his soft snoring. She smiled, wiped her eyes, and tried to sleep. A groan and then Erin's scream jolted Molly. She listened carefully as the sounds of Erin and Frank's lovemaking filtered though the wall from the next room. Giggling to herself, Molly folded the pillow over her ears and fell asleep.

The next morning, Molly woke up to the sounds she fell asleep to. She could hear Erin and Frank next door, and wondered if they had slept at all. Glancing over at Tom, Molly sat he was stretched out on his back. She watched him sleep for a few moments and then smiled. Molly scooted closer to Tom, resting her head on his chest. She put one leg over his, cuddling against his side. Tom stirred, rolled toward Molly, and put his arm around her. His hand came to rest on her hip for a moment before it moved to her bottom.

Molly wondered if Tom knew it was her, or if he thought he was in bed with Kim. Tom wiggled a bit, finding a comfortable position. Molly put her arm over Tom's side and scooted as close as she could. Her leg was scissored between his and she could feel his morning erection. Molly couldn't seem to get close enough to Tom. She moved her body, trying to eliminate any gaps between them.

Tom shifted again. He kissed the top of Molly's head, letting his lips linger in her hair. "Morning, Molly," Tom mumbled.

Molly squirmed. "Good morning. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up."

"That's okay. I have to get up anyway." Tom removed his hand from Molly's butt, sliding it up her back. "Nature calls."

Tom slipped out of Molly's grip. He got up and went into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. When we returned, Tom sat on the edge of the bed. "Your turn. I'm going to take a shower when you're finished."

Molly giggled, climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom. She came back into the bedroom and sat next to Tom.

"Is everything okay, Molly?" Tom asked. "I hope I didn't do anything to upset you last night."

"You were a perfect gentleman all night. Thank you again for a wonderful time," Molly said.

"I had a great time too. I'm going to jump in the shower. I think we're taking the boat out this morning," Tom said. He stood up and started for the bathroom. Pausing, Tom turned around and smiled at Molly. "Want to wash my back?"

Molly giggled as she nodded her head. She jumped off the bed and walked toward the bathroom. Tom walked in, followed by Molly. He turned on the shower, removed his shorts, and stepped into the stall. Still giggling, Molly stripped so she could join him.

Tom wet his head and then stepped aside so Molly could get under the spray. He picked up the soap, rubbing the bar between his hands. Stepping up to Molly, Tom put his arms around her and began washing her back. Molly looked up at Tom, smiling as she pressed her chest against him.

"Mmmm, nice ass," Tom mumbled as his hands moved down Molly's back and rubbed her butt.

Molly giggled and said, "You've told me that before."

"I meant it," Tom said. He dropped to one knee so he could wash Molly's legs.

Molly looked down, watching Tom run his soapy hands up and down her legs. He washed one and then the other, but didn't go high enough to wash her crotch. Molly parted her legs so Tom could touch her, but he didn't. He began washing Molly's stomach and sides. Standing, Tom covered her breasts with his soapy hands. He coated her breasts with suds while looking in Molly's eyes.

"Nice tits," Tom said with a grin. He removed his hands, moving them to Molly's shoulders.

Giggling, Molly said, "I think my boobs are still dirty."

Tom laughed and returned his hands to Molly's breasts. He massaged her, feeling Molly's nipples harden against the palms of his hand. Molly put her hands on Tom's shoulders for support.

"I think you missed a spot," Molly said when Tom tried to hand her the bar of soap.

"Do you want me to?" Tom asked. Molly grinned as she nodded. Tom ran his hand between Molly's legs, washing her vulva. He did his best not to make it sexual. "There you go."

Molly took the soap from Tom. She giggled as she washed his body from head to toe. Molly didn't hesitate when she reached Tom's crotch. She spent several moments running her hands over his genitals. Tom's penis had been erect, but when Molly fondled him, it became even harder.

"Want me to shampoo your hair?" Molly asked.

When Tom nodded, Molly picked up the bottle of shampoo. She poured a small dollop in her hand and began massaging it into Tom's hair. Molly pressed her breasts against his chest as she stood on her toes so she could reach. Tom put his hands on Molly's hips, holding her firmly.

Tom shampooed Molly's hair after she finished with him. They rinsed their bodies and got out of the shower. Tom gave Molly a towel and took one for him. They stood staring at one another as they dried off. Molly began drying her hair. She watched Tom shaving while pointing the blow dryer at her head.

Molly pulled a brush through her thick hair while drying it. Tom finished shaving and then brushed his teeth. Moving behind Molly, Tom wrapped his arms around her waist. His hands gently stroked Molly's stomach, tracing the contour of her slight bulge. His fingertips came close to the small tuft of pubic hair, but he didn't touch Molly's mons. Stepping back, Tom winked at Molly. She winked at him as they traded smiles in the mirror.

"I'm going to get dressed so we can get some coffee," Tom said. He dropped his head and kissed Molly's shoulder.

"Okay, I'm finished. My hair is dry enough," Molly said.

In the bedroom, Tom found a pair of boxers in his drawer. Molly pulled the clean bra and panties she'd packed out of her duffle bag. While they dressed, Tom and Molly talked about the prom.

"I'm glad there wasn't any trouble with Lenny," Molly told Tom as she fastened her bra, turned it around her middle, and pulled the straps over her arms. She straightened her bra and situated her breasts in the cups. It amazed Molly that she felt so comfortable getting dressed with Tom. It wasn't the first time they had seen each other naked, but it was the first time they were alone.

"Yeah, so am I. I think those guys knew better," Tom said.

When they finished dressing, Tom and Molly made the bed before they left the room. They went out to the living room and found Jenny and Brad sitting on the couch. Jenny and Molly traded grins. Kathy and Eddie came out and said good morning to everyone.

"Are Erin and Frank up yet?" Jenny said.

Molly giggled and said, "They were earlier. I could hear them fooling around."

Jenny went to the bedroom Erin and Frank slept in. She knocked on the door and stood waiting for someone to answer. Frank opened the door and smiled at his cousin.

"Are you two going to get breakfast or are you going to stay in that room all day?" Jenny said.

"We're coming, Jen," Frank said.

Erin came to the door. She greeted Jenny and then the three of them went to the living room. They went to the main house, finding Laura in the kitchen.

"Hi, kids, coffee is on. Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes. I didn't know what time you'd be up so I haven't started cooking yet," Laura said.

Molly went over to her mom. Molly gave Laura a hug and said, "Morning, Mom, thanks for fixing our breakfast."

"Good morning, Honey. Did you have a good time last night?" Laura said as she looked at her daughter.

"Mom, it was great! I'll tell you all about it later," Molly said.

The teens poured juice and coffee for themselves and then sat at the table. Molly made sure her chair was next Tom. Laura came to the table with a large plate of her cinnamon rolls. The othres told Erin and Frank how good they were. When Frank took a bite of one of the rolls, he agreed.

Laura served bacon, sausage, and waffles for breakfast. Jeri and April came down to join the group. The teens began telling Jeri, April, and Laura about their night. A few times, all four girls talked at once. Laura laughed and told the girls to slow down.

"Let's get the boat warmed up and ready to go," Eddie said after finishing breakfast.

"Aren't you going to help with the dishes?" Jenny said.

"Don't worry about the dishes. I'll take care of them. You kids go and have a good time," Laura said. Jeri and April said they would help.

Tom, Brad, Eddie, and Frank headed to the boat. The girls remained at the table, finishing their coffee.

"How was your night?" Kathy whispered to Molly after Laura, Jeri, and April left the table.

Molly smiled and said, "It was great."

Jenny and Kathy giggled.

"It's not what you think. Tom and I just slept together. You know, close your eyes and sleep," Molly said.

Kathy got up, took Molly's arm and pulled her to her feet. She led Molly outside so they could talk.

"Didn't you want to fool around with Tom?" Kathy said.

"I never said that," Molly replied.

"You mean Tom didn't want to?" Kathy asked Molly.

"I didn't say that either. Tom said he was tired. He gave me a kiss and went to sleep," Molly said.

"I'm sorry, Sweetie. I thought you and Tom would get together," Kathy said.

"Kathy, I'm not the least bit sorry. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful night. Neither of us, Tom nor me, felt obligated to do anything." Molly giggled and said, "We did take a shower together this morning."

"Well, as long as you're happy, so am I," Kathy said.

"I hope you and Eddie had a good time," Molly said. She wanted to add 'without me, ' but she didn't.

Kathy nodded. Jenny and Erin came outside and the girls walked to the boat. Molly looked around for Tom. She saw him heading up to the bridge and followed him. Tom stood at the helm and started turning on the electronics. Molly stepped up beside him and watched.

Glancing at Molly, Tom smiled and said, "Hey there."

Molly giggled. "Hi, are we about ready to go?"

"Yup, I just have to start the engines and let them warm up. Why don't you do it?" Tom said.

Molly reached across Tom and fired up the port engine. Tom moved back a bit so she could see the gauges. As Molly started the starboard engine, Tom put his hands on her hips. Molly cocked her head so she could look up at Tom. Smiling, Tom pulled Molly closer. He slid his arms around her waist, holding her against him.

"Are you going to tease me all day?" Molly said softly.

Tom turned Molly around. Placing his hand under her chin, he tilted her face up and gave Molly a kiss. Tom began to hug her tightly as he worked his tongue into her mouth. Molly put her arm around his neck and pulled Tom's mouth to hers. They held the kiss for several moments. Tom backed off a little, kissed Molly's nose, and said, "Yup. Is that okay?"

Molly gave Tom a kiss and giggled. "Yup." Both of them laughed.

Tom went to the sundeck and looked down into the cockpit. He saw Eddie and told him the engines were ready. Eddie nodded and began casting off the lines. Brad went forward to cast off the bow line.

Eddie came up to the bridge. Tom walked back to the helm and stood near Molly. He watched Eddie give Molly a kiss. While she kissed Eddie, Molly looked at Tom.

"Okay, Tom, you ready to take the boat out?" Eddie said.

"Why don't we let Molly do it?" Tom said.

Nodding, Eddie stood next to Molly at the bridge. He told her how to use the engines and the bow-thruster to move the boat away from the seawall and into the channel. Molly acted nervous, but she calmed down when Tom put his hand on her back and encouraged her.

"Good job, Sweetie. Tom, would you take over please? I want to talk with Molly for a minute," Eddie said.

Tom took the wheel. Eddie and Molly went below to the saloon. Kathy smiled at Eddie and Molly as she prepared a pot of coffee.

"Is everything okay, Molly?" Eddie said as he and Molly stood near Kathy.

"Yeah, everything is fine. Why do you keep asking me if I'm okay?" Molly replied.

Eddie put his arms around Molly. "Kathy and I are worried. We thought you and Tom would have some fun last night," Eddie said.

"We did have fun. We had a great night," Molly said.

"You told me you and Tom didn't do anything," Kathy said.

"We did what we wanted to do," Molly said as she twisted out of Eddie's arms. "You two obviously didn't want me to be with you."

"That's not true. We just thought that you would like to be with Tom," Kathy said.

"What? Tom takes me to dinner and to the prom so I was supposed to have sex with him?" Molly said. "I thought you were my boyfriend and girlfriend. Why did you send me to Tom's room in the first place?"

"Molly, Kathy and I didn't send you to Tom's room. I just asked if you wanted to spend the night with him. Sweetie, you are our girlfriend and we love you, but you're also our friend. We want you to be happy," Eddie said. "If we screwed up, we're sorry—aren't we Kathy?"

Kathy gave Molly a hug. "I'm so sorry, Molly. I guess this all turned out wrong. We wanted to surprise you. I thought you liked Tom. When Kim suggested that Tom come down to take you to the prom, Eddie and I thought you would be happy about it."

Molly held onto Kathy. She put her head against Kathy's shoulder and began to cry. "I'm so confused. I don't know what I want or how I feel. I love you and Eddie and I don't want you guys to get mad at me." Lifting her head, Molly looked into Kathy's eyes. "I do like Tom, I like him a lot. That's what makes everything so confusing. I'm afraid that if Tom and I ... I don't know—I just don't want to hurt anyone, especially you, Eddie, or Kim."

"That wouldn't hurt me, Molly," Eddie said. Kathy nodded in agreement. "We, the three of us, are proof that we can love more than one person. I don't get jealous or mad when you're with Kathy and I don't think she gets mad at me when I'm with you."

Kathy giggled and said, "No, and I love watching the two of you together."

"So, if Tom wanted to—you know, you wouldn't care?" Molly said.

"What we care about is you, Sweetie. Do what makes you happy and Eddie and I will be happy for you," Kathy said.

"What about Kim?" Molly said shyly.

Kathy laughed and gave Molly a hug. "It was Kim's idea to have Tom come down here and take you to the prom."

Molly kissed Kathy on the cheek. Keeping her mouth close to Kathy's ear, Molly whispered, "I do like Tom. I like him a lot."

Jenny came in the cabin to tell Kathy and Eddie they were ready to fish. Eddie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go up to the bridge and help Tom."

Eddie went up the steps to the bridge. He told Tom they were ready to fish. "Have you been watching for birds?" Eddie said.

"Yeah, but I haven't seen any yet. Do we have any waypoints we can go to?" Tom said.

Eddie started pushing the buttons on the chart plotter. He pulled up a few waypoints that they marked on other trips. "We can start on any of these. When we get close, call me on the intercom and slow the boat to trolling speed."

"Will do. Is everything okay with Molly? I think she's mad at me for coming down here," Tom said.

"Molly isn't mad at anyone. She may be a bit confused, but she isn't mad. Tom, Molly likes you a lot. She's just afraid of hurting Kathy, Kim, or me. Kathy and I told her that she should do what she wants to do," Eddie said.

"This is a weird situation, isn't it?" Tom said.

"No, I don't think so," Eddie said.

"Does that mean you wouldn't be pissed at me if Molly and I became closer?" Tom said.

"Hell no! I think it would be great. Tom, just don't do anything that would hurt her," Eddie said.

"I wouldn't think of it, Eddie. I just don't want Molly to think she's everyone's girlfriend," Tom said.

"You know, I never thought about that. I can see how she might feel that way," Eddie said.

"I've been thinking about it. The last thing I want to do is hurt Molly or make her feel bad," Tom said.

"Yeah, I see your point. What do you want to do?" Eddie said.

"I don't know yet. I think I should take it slow and see how Molly feels," Tom replied.

"What about Kim?"

"Kim and I have a good relationship. Neither of us believes we're going to spend the rest of our lives together, not as a couple," Tom said.

"The only thing that worries me is having all of this affect our friendships. I still like to fool around with Jenny once in a while and I know that Brad and Kathy still have sex with each other. I can see how we might expand our horizons once you guys move down here." Eddie chuckled. "This is going to be a great summer."

"I hope it's more than just the summer," Tom said.

"You've got that right!" Eddie said. "I'm going to go down and help get the rods set. We're almost to our first waypoint."

Eddie went below to tell the others to get ready. Jenny and Brad told him they were ready and waiting. Brad told Eddie they rigged for Wahoo and dolphin. Kathy came out and moved across the cockpit to Eddie.

"I think Molly is okay now," Kathy said.

"Good, I think we should just drop it and let things take their course. Where are Erin and Frank?" Eddie said.

Chuckling, Jenny said, "They're in one of the staterooms. From what Erin said, they didn't get much sleep last night."

"I guess you can't blame them. They don't get to see each other very often," Brad said.

Tom turned the boat and slowed it down to trolling speed. Molly came up to the bridge, carrying a cup of coffee for Tom. She placed the cup in one of the holders and stood next to him. Tom put his arm around Molly's waist and said, "Thanks for the coffee. Would you tell Eddie that we're ready to fish?"

Molly nodded and used the intercom to tell Eddie and the others what Tom said. Tom smiled and picked up his coffee. Taking a sip, he told Molly it was good.

"I'm going to head up to the tuna tower. I want to be able to see better. Do you want to go up with me?" Tom said.

"Sure," Molly said. She watched Tom set the autopilot and then followed him out to the sundeck.

"You go first, I'll follow you," Tom said. He chuckled, adding, "I want to watch your butt when you climb the ladder."

Giggling, Molly said, "I should have worn a skirt."

"I could wait for you to change," Tom said with a grin.

"You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

"Are you kidding? I'd love it. Have I mentioned you have a nice ass?" Tom said.

"Um, I don't remember. Maybe you should tell me again," Molly said and then she giggled.

"You have a nice ass. In fact, you have a great ass," Tom said.

Molly turned to Tom and said, "I'll go put a skirt on if you want me to."

"That's okay. I can still remember what I saw this morning. Head up, I'll be right behind you," Tom said.

Molly started up the ladder. Tom watched her, smiling when she looked down at him. He started up when Molly was half way to the top of the tower. Tom reached up, handing Molly his coffee cup. When he got up to the helm, Tom uncovered the dash and checked the speed.

Tom looked down at the cockpit. He could see the lines running behind the boat and his friends watching them. Tom took a sip of coffee and set his cup down. He put his arm around Molly, letting his hand rest on her hip. She glanced up at Tom and smiled.

"I love being up here when we're on the boat," Tom said.

"So do I. You can see for miles when it's clear like this," Molly replied.

Pulling Molly to his side, Tom said, "I like seeing what's close to me."

Molly giggled and then smiled at Tom. "If you keep talking like that, you're going to get kissed."

"One can only hope, can't one?" Tom said.

Molly turned so she faced Tom. She put her arms around his neck, stood on her toes, and gave him a kiss. Tom held Molly, returning the kiss. Their mouths opened and their tongues began to intertwine. Molly moaned into Tom's mouth. He moved one of his hands to her bottom and kneaded her cheek.

Eddie shouted, "FISH ON!" ending Molly and Tom's kissing. Tom peered down to see Kathy fighting a fish. He turned off the autopilot and began to steer. Tom stood with his back to the helm with one hand on the wheel and the other on the shifters.

Molly moved to one side and looked down. "Get that fish, Kathy," Molly yelled. She leaned against the railing watching the action below.

Tom kept the boat on course while Kathy fought the fish to the stern. Brad leaned over the transom and gaffed the thirty-pound dolphin. After he removed the hook from the fish, Eddie slid it into the hold. Jenny and Kathy reset the lines as Brad hosed down the deck.

"I love watching that. It's like everyone knows what to do without being told," Molly said.

"It is fun to watch." Tom chuckled. "It's almost as fun as watching you lean over the rail."

Giggling, Molly wiggled her butt at Tom. He reached out, giving her a playful smack. Molly turned around and said, "You brute!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you," Tom said.

"Well you did and I think you should kiss it better," Molly said and then she giggled. She moved closer to Tom and gave him a quick kiss. "You didn't hurt me."

Smiling, Tom said, "I'll still kiss it better for you. Do you want to go down and fish?"

"No, I'd rather stay up here with you, if that's okay," Molly said.

"Cool. I promise not to spank you again," Tom said.

Molly put her arms around Tom's waist. She gave him a tender kiss and then said, "Don't make promises I might not want you to keep."

Tom chuckled. He put one arm around Molly and gently stroked her bottom. She leaned against Tom, hugging him closer.

Over the next hour, they caught two more dolphins. Eddie asked Tom is he wanted to take a break. When Molly nodded, Tom told Eddie he would like to come down for a while.

Eddie and Jenny took over on the tuna tower. Tom and Molly stood in the cockpit, waiting for the next fish to strike. Erin and Frank came out of the cabin to join the others.

"You're not going to be able to walk," Kathy told Erin.

"So what? I'll have fun getting that way." Erin grinned and put her arm around Frank. "Actually, we took a nap."

"That's because you two didn't sleep last night," Molly said. "I fell asleep and woke up hearing you guys going at it."

"We did get a little sleep, but not too much. Erin and I haven't seen each other in a while," Frank said.

"In that case, I guess it's okay," Molly said and then she giggled.

Tom saw one of the rods jumping in the holder. He pulled it out and let the fish take the hook. Once Tom hooked the fish, he began to reel. Molly came over to Tom. He smiled and offered her the rod. Shaking her head, Molly told Tom to go ahead and land the fish.

Molly encouraged Tom as he fought the fish. When he managed to get the fish close, Brad said, "It's a wahoo."

Kathy gaffed the fish. With Molly's help, she pulled it onboard. Brad and Tom removed the hook so they could put it in the hold with the other fish.

"It's you turn next, Frank," Kathy said.

"Okay, thanks. This is great. I love being on the boat," Frank said.

Erin stretched up to kiss Frank. "I love being with you, Honey. This has been the best two days I've had in a long time."

"We still have most of Sunday too. Our flight home isn't until three tomorrow afternoon," Tom said. "Are you guys planning to stay at the house again tonight?"

"I haven't thought about it, but it would be great if we could. I have to make an appearance at home, but I think my dad will let me stay again," Erin said.

Molly sidled up to Tom and whispered in his ear. "I'd like to stay too. I think my mom will let me stay—if you want me to."

"That's cool, I'd like you to stay," Tom said.

A few minutes later one of the rods started jumping. Brad grabbed the rod, set the hook, and handed it to Frank. Tom moved to the transom to watch Frank fight the fish.

"Tom seems like a nice guy," Erin said. "This is the first time I've had a chance to spend time around him."

"I think Tom is very nice," Molly said.

"So, what's going on between you two?" Erin said.

"We're friends, that's all. You already know he came down to take me to the prom. Did you know that it was Kim's idea? Um, Kim and Tom are sort of a couple," Molly said.

"I know, Jenny told me everything. I think it was sweet that he came down here for that. I also think it was great that he brought Frank with him," Erin said and then she giggled.

"Tom, Jack, Kim, and Sally are all great. They never make you feel as if you're beneath them. Sometimes I forget they're rich," Molly said.

"I think it is so cool that Aunt Laura is working for Tom's family. My dad said she is very happy," Erin said.

"It bothered me at first, but I'm over it. If it makes Mom happy who am I to say it's wrong? Things have gotten better for Mom. She has a job she loves and now she is getting married to Joel," Molly said.

Frank landed the dolphin he fought while Molly and Erin talked. Once the fish was on the deck, Erin went over to see it and tell Frank that he did well. Frank gave Erin a hug, holding her to his side. Brad and Tom put the fish in the hold and then Kathy hosed down the deck.

"Let's call it a day. We have enough fish for now," Brad said. He walked to the bulkhead so he could use the intercom to tell Eddie.

Tom, Brad, Jenny, and Molly reeled in the lines. They rinsed the tackle before stowing it. Eddie and Jenny came down to the bridge for the trip back to the house. After securing everything in the cockpit, the rest of the group went up to the bridge.

"Do you want us to make sandwiches for lunch? We brought some of the meat and cheese from the house," Kathy said.

Everyone agreed that food sounded good. The girls went down to the galley to prepare lunch while the guys stayed at the bridge. Eddie headed the boat toward the inlet.

"This is a great boat. I can't believe how much bigger it is than your last boat, Eddie," Frank said.

"We still have the other boat. Dad changed the name to 'Lady Guinevere Too' as in also. He said that he and Mom wanted to have something they could go out on when they wanted to. This boat is a fishing machine. Jenny, Kathy, Brad, and I helped design it. We didn't know we were designing it for us," Eddie said.

"It looks like you could stay out on this boat for a month. It has all the comforts of home," Frank said.

"We could and we hope we'll have a chance to do just that. We're fishing in a few money tournaments this summer. We have sponsors now. Sally has come up with an idea to make videos and a television show. Did you know we had a film crew aboard on our last tournament? They made a pilot for ESPN's outdoor show," Brad said.

"If you think this boat is big, you should see Tom and his family's other boat. It's a huge yacht," Eddie said. "My dad's company built it for them."

"How big is it, Tom? Frank asked.

"She's one hundred forty five feet with the swim platform and cockpit. Her beam is twenty-five feet," Tom replied.

"Holly shit, that is big, isn't it?" Frank said.

"Yeah, and it's gorgeous! You wouldn't believe how nice the interior is. It looks more like a home than a boat," Brad said.

Tom felt uneasy as he listened to Brad and Eddie telling Frank about the boat. He interrupted and said, "Next time you come down, we'll go out on Tomiko. That's the name of the yacht. We plan to charter her as a business."

The girls came up with the food. They set it up on the sundeck and then Jenny told the guys lunch was ready. Kathy fixed a plate for Eddie and took it to the bridge. "I'll eat with you after I fix my plate," Kathy said.

Eddie set the autopilot so he could use both hands to eat. Kathy took the seat next to Eddie and began to eat. On the sundeck, the rest of the group sat at the table on the sundeck.

"What are we going to do for the rest of the day?" Jenny said.

"Frank said he would like to go swimming if that's okay," Erin said. "We have to go by my house, but maybe we could go later this afternoon."

"I love to swim, but I don't get much of a chance at this time of year. We get to swim in school, but only twice a week," Frank said.

"I think going swimming is a great idea. What do you guys want to do about dinner?" Tom said.

The teens talked about the remainder of the day. Molly went to the bridge to let Eddie and Kathy know the plan. They agreed and said it would be fun. Before she returned to the sundeck, Molly said, "I plan to spend the night with Tom tonight."

"If that's what you want, I'm all for it," Eddie said. Kathy smiled and nodded her head. Molly giggled, turned around and went back to sit with Tom.

"I hope Molly isn't doing this because she's mad at us," Kathy said after Molly left.

"Molly isn't mad, Eddie. I think she is afraid of hurting us if she falls for Tom," Kathy said.

"Falls?" Eddie said as he raised his eyebrows.

Kathy giggled and said, "Yeah, I know. I should have said fallen. Now, we have to make sure Tom doesn't hurt her."

"I can almost guarantee Tom won't hurt Molly. We talked earlier and he said that was the last thing he wanted. No matter how he feels about her, he won't hurt her," Eddie said.

Eddie eased the boat against the seawall. Brad, Tom, and Jenny tended to the lines, securing the boat to the pilings. Brad and Eddie cleaned the fish while the rest of the group took care of the power and water. Tom and Molly worked together, swabbing the deck of the cockpit.

"I just thought of something, we don't have a car here," Erin said. "How are we going to get home?"

"We can take the Suburban. I'll drop you guys off and you can bring your cars back," Tom said.

Tom went up to Jeri and April's apartment. He knocked on the door, got the keys from Jeri, and told her what he was doing. Jeri smiled and told Tom to have fun and to be careful.

The teens gathered their things from the house and climbed into the Suburban. Molly sat in front with Tom. They stopped at Erin's house first, dropping her and Frank off. Tom drove to Eddie and Jenny's next. Brad and Kathy got out with Jenny and Eddie, telling Tom they would see him and Molly in about an hour.

Molly gave Tom directions to her house. While he drove, she couldn't keep her eyes off him. Whenever Tom glanced at her, Molly smiled. He pulled into the driveway and shut off the car. Tom and Molly went into the house. Laura smiled when she saw the two teens.

"Hi, Mom. All the kids are spending the night at Tom's house. We're going to swim and have pizza. Can I go?" Molly said.

Laura chuckled. "Hello, Molly. Hello, Tom," Laura said.

"Hi, Mrs. Durham," Tom replied.

"I don't see why you can't go, Molly. Do you want me to come over tomorrow morning and make breakfast?" Laura said.

"Um, sure, but don't come over too early," Molly said. "I'll be back in a few minutes, Tom. I have to hang up my dress, change, and pack clean clothes for tomorrow."

Tom sat in a living room chair when Laura invited him to. Molly ran down the hallway to her room. As soon as she hung her dress in her closet, Molly pulled her address book from her purse. She sat on her bed, picked up the telephone, and dialed.

"Hello, this is Molly. Is Kim there?" Molly said when someone answered the telephone.

Chapter 43


"Hi, Molly, this is Mrs. Graham. Is everything okay?" Marge replied.

"Yes, Mrs. Graham, everything is great," Molly said.

"Did you kids have a good time at the prom?" Marge asked Molly.

"Oh yes, it was wonderful! It was one of the best nights of my life."

"I'm glad you kids enjoyed yourselves. Hang on and I'll get Kim," Marge said.

Marge called for Kim. When Kim came into the kitchen, Marge covered the mouthpiece of the telephone receiver and said, "It's Molly. She wants to talk to you."

Kim took the handset from her mom. "Hi, Molly, what's up?" Kim said.

"Hello, Kim, how are you doing?" Molly said nervously.

"I'm fine. How was the dance?"

"It was the bomb, Kim! We went to a fancy restaurant and then to the dance. It was the first time I rode in a limousine." Molly giggled and added, "Tom is a great dancer."

"I know he is. We practiced before he went to Florida. Is he treating you well?" Kim said.

"Yeah, we're having a good time. We went fishing today," Molly said.

Lowering her voice, Kim said, "How about last night, you know, after the prom? Did you and Tom have a good time then?"

"We didn't do anything, Kim. I mean we slept in the same bed, but that's all we did—sleep," Molly said.

"I'm sorry, I thought Tom would..." Kim began to say, but Molly interrupted her.

"No, Tom was a perfect gentleman. He is just so sweet!"

"If you say so," Kim said.

"Kim, I really like Tom. I don't know what to do," Molly said.

Giggling, Kim said, "Do whatever you want to do, Molly. Are you asking my permission to fool around with Tom?"

"Yeah, I guess I am. I don't want to cause any trouble. I don't want to make you mad at me or Tom," Molly said.

"I won't be mad at anyone. You know I love Tom. He's my cousin and I'll always love him. It's important to me that he is happy. Molly, Tom has feelings for you. I knew it since that night on the boat you two talked," Kim said.

"He told you about that?" Molly said.

Kim giggled. "Yeah, and he told me he thinks you have a nice ass."

Laughing, Molly said, "That what he keeps telling me."

"You should believe him. Molly, Tom is shy and not pushy, if you know what I mean."

"That's for sure. Last night he didn't make a pass at me. I should get going. Tom is waiting for me in the living room. We came to my house so I could get clean clothes. All of us are staying at your house again tonight." Molly paused and took a deep breath. "Thanks, Kim."

"If there's something you want, go for it! Have fun. When we move down to Florida, maybe you and I can get together with Tom." Kim giggled. "I'd love to have a threesome with you two."

"That sounds like it would be fun. If things work out between Tom and me, I'll hold you to it," Molly said. "Oh shit, that didn't sound the way I meant it."

"I know what you meant. I'll talk to you later. Tell everyone I said hi," Kim said.

Kim and Molly said goodbye and hung up. Molly sat on her bed, thinking about the conversation. After a few moments, Molly giggled to herself. She got up and changed into a short halter sundress. Molly packed a few things into her bag and left her room.

Tom and Laura sat in the living room talking about the prom and fishing that day. Molly sat next to Tom and grinned. She listened to Tom as he told Laura how well Molly handled the boat.

"We should get going. The rest of the kids are going to be waiting for us," Molly said when there was a lull in the conversation.

"You kids have fun. I'll come over in the morning to make a nice breakfast for you. If you need anything, call me," Laura said.

"Thanks, Mom. We'll be fine. See you tomorrow," Molly said as she reached for her bag. Tom beat her to it and picked up the duffel bag.

"Goodbye, Mrs. Durham," Tom said.

Molly and Tom went to the Suburban. Laura watched Tom open the door for Molly, closing it once Molly sat down in the passenger seat. Tom glanced at Molly's legs, watching her short dress rise. He waved as he climbed in and started the truck.

Tom drove toward the house. Molly sat quietly, replaying her conversation with Kim. Remembering what Kim said about Tom's shyness, she giggled under her breath. Molly unfastened her seatbelt. She slid to the middle of the seat and searched for the lap belt. Tom smiled at her.

"I hope you don't mind," Molly said as she fastened the belt.

"No, I don't mind at all." Tom put his arm over Molly's shoulders. "This is nice."

Molly nodded as she put her hand on Tom's knee. She stroked him lightly, feeling Tom's muscles flinch at her touch. He gripped Molly's upper arm, pulling her closer to him.

Tom stopped at a red traffic light. Molly lifted her hand from his leg and placed it on Tom's cheek. Turning his head toward her, Molly gave him a tender kiss. The kiss lingered as Molly worked her tongue past Tom's lips and into his mouth. He pulled her even closer, moaning into Molly's mouth. The sound of a horn snapped Tom and Molly's concentration and they separated.

Molly sat back and grinned. Tom rubbed her arm as he pulled away from the light. Neither of them said anything for several moments. Molly removed Tom's arm from her shoulders so she could hug it against her side. Turning slightly, she rested her head against his shoulder.

"That was nice," Molly said as she wiggled against Tom.

-------

Kim walked over to the table where her mom sat with Anne and Sally. Looking up at Kim, Marge smiled.

"What was that all about?" Marge said.

"Nothing important. Molly wanted to make sure I wasn't mad about Tom going down there," Kim said.

"Are you?" Anne asked.

Shaking her head, Km said, "No, I'm not mad. If I hadn't wanted Tom to go, I wouldn't have suggested it."

"What about when Tom gets back? What are you going to do then? Are you still going to sleep with him?" Sally said.

Marge and Anne chuckled as they waited for Kim's answer. While the parents were well aware of the relationships between Jack, Sally, Kim, and Tom, they neither encouraged nor condemned it. The four parents had many long discussions about the teens' sexuality in the past. They all agreed to let their children discover things at their own pace.

The first of the conversations happened when the kids were much younger, and before they had discovered sex. One night Marge, Don, Anne, and Marc talked about the fact their children could become involved much the same as they had. On that night, while Jack, Kim, Tom, and Sally were still preteens, they decided not to interfere if the kids began to experiment with one another. When they discovered their children had begun to explore, the parents held true.

"Yeah, at least I plan to," Kim said. "Why wouldn't I?"

"Maybe Tom won't want to," Anne said.

"Right!" Sally said and then she laughed. "As if Tom is going to stop."

"Look, I don't know why everyone is so interested in Tom and me. I love Tom. As I told Molly, I'll always love him. If Tom wants to move on I'll understand, but it won't change the way I feel about him," Kim said.

"Let's go out by the pool," Sally said while looking at Kim.

Nodding, Kim stood up. The two girls headed out to the pool, leaving their moms sitting at the table. Once Kim and Sally were out of the house, Marge and Anne chuckled.

"She reminds me of us when we were young," Anne said.

"It amazes me that those two are so different. Kim has a mind of her own, that's for sure," Marge said and then she smiled. "I think Jack is going to have his hands full with her."

"Only time will tell, Marge," Anne said. "I get the feeling Kim wants to find another boy. If you ask me, she suggested that Tom take Molly to the prom to see if there was any chemistry there."

"Do you think she's trying to let him down lightly?" Marge said.

Anne shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe she is."

Kim and Sally decided to take a swim. They removed their clothes and jumped into the heated pool. The two girls swam around for a few minutes before resting near the shallow end. They sat on the steps and began to chat.

"So, what are you going to do, Kim? Are you going to fuck Tom until something better comes along?" Sally said.

"Don't say it like that. I don't think I could find anyone better than Tom is. Not just as a lover either. Tom is the sweetest guy I know. To be honest, I don't really know what I want. Part of me wants things to remain the way they are, but I also want to branch out if you know what I mean," Kim said.

Sally giggled and then said, "I know what you mean, Kim. For me, Jack is all I want. As for having sex with others, Jack lets me do that. When we get down to Florida, I plan to get together with Brad again. It was fun when we fucked."

"You are so bad! Is that all you think of?" Kim said and then she giggled. "I think we're all going to have fun once we move. Eddie, Brad, Jenny, Kathy, and Molly are so cool."

"Yeah they are. To answer your question, sex isn't the only thing I think about, I think about a lot of things. I have been doing some research on producing the television show and the videos we talked about before. That's something I want to do. If we can get Fran and Randy to help it would be cool, but we can find someone else if they aren't interested," Sally said.

"Do you have any of your ideas written down?" Kim said.

"Yeah, I have a bunch of them listed. When we move, I want to get everyone's opinion about them. I think we can do an entire series on fishing and sell the videos. We can start with the basics and go from there. If we get a television show, we can incorporate the videos," Sally said.

"Don't forget we have the yacht too. We have to make sure we have time for Tomiko," Kim said.

"I know. We can use Tomiko in the series. You know, like a mother ship or something. If our charter business takes off, we may not have access to the yacht. Either way, we can make it work." Sally smiled at Kim. "Just make sure your new boyfriend likes to fish."

"Who says I'm looking for a new boyfriend? I might stay loose and go out with several boys. If I do find a new boyfriend, he'll have to like fishing though. He will also have to understand that he doesn't own me. I don't want some guy getting all goofy if I want to fool around with someone else," Kim said.

Sally and Kim got out of the pool. They took showers and dressed. Kim asked if she could see what Sally had been working on regarding her ideas. The two girls went upstairs to Sally's room. Jack came in, sitting on the bed with Kim and Sally.

"Hi, Sally is going to show me what she has been working on," Kim said.

Jack put his arm around Sally as she booted her notebook computer. "Are you talking about the television and video stuff?" Jack said.

"Yeah, Sally said she has been doing research and has a list of ideas," Kim replied.

"She's been working hard on it. Show Kim what you have put together, Sweetie," Jack said. His pride showed in his voice.

Kim and Jack sat next to Sally as she pulled up a Power Point of the information she'd gathered. Each set of slides showed the basis of show and video segments. As she went through the slides, Sally explained her thinking, as well as where she found the information.

"When we talk to Randy and Fran, we can have them make up the story boards," Sally said.

"What is a story board?" Kim asked.

"That's where they work out the shots and sequences of the taping. A story board is sort of like a road map of the idea," Sally said.

"It sounds like a lot of work," Kim replied.

"Not really, it's what needs to be done. If you don't know what you plan to do, how can you do it?" Sally said.

Sally finished going through the information she'd compiled. Kim told her how impressed she was. Giggling, Sally shut down her computer.

"Do you two want to go to the boat with me? I was going to wait until Tom got home, but we could do it. We have to get it ready for when our friends get here," Jack said.

Kim and Sally agreed to go with Jack. The three of them put on jeans and sweatshirts because it was still cool outside. Once they were ready, the teens told their parents what they were doing and left for the storage building where they stored the boat.

"Tom and I did a lot the last time we were at the boat, but I want to go over everything again. We need to check the lures and make sure the hooks are sharp. I guess we should change the line on the reels too," Jack said as he drove.

"Do we have fresh line on the boat or do we have to stop to buy some?" Sally said.

"We have to stop at the sporting goods store," Jack said.

"How many of us do you think we can handle on the boat, Jack?" Kim said.

"If it isn't rough, all of us should be able to fish. It'll be crowded, but we can manage," Jack replied.

"How many life jackets do we have?" Sally said.

"Eight, we need to get two more. Thanks for reminding me, Sweetie," Jack said.

Jack stopped at the sporting goods store. He headed for the fishing section while Kim and Sally looked at the clothing. Jack picked out the line and the PFDs he wanted. He went to the clothing section to find the girls. The three of them went to check out and leave.

"We sure had a blast on this boat last summer, didn't we?" Kim said as she climbed the stepladder. "I'm glad you decided to keep it, Jack."

"I know. Eddie says we can use it to fish inshore when we get to Florida. We can use Tomiko's tender too," Jack said.

"What kinds of fishing do you like the best, Honey?" Sally said.

Jack laughed and said, "Yes! I love all types of fishing, at least the ones I've tried so far."

"Me too, but then I love anything you do," Sally said with a giggle.

Jack asked Kim and Sally to get the rods and reels from the cabin. He placed the rods in holders as the girls passed them out to him. Using the battery powered drill and spool he brought with him, Jack began stripping the old line from one of the reels.

"I was checking out the calendar. We could change our trip to the end of May if we want to. Our friends could come up on Wednesday and we could leave for Grand Haven on Thursday morning. If we fish for four days, we can come back on the following Tuesday," Sally said. "We'll be finished with school and so will our friends."

"How many rooms did we get?" Kim said.

"I reserved two," Sally replied.

"I think we should get four rooms. It will be too crowded in two," Kim said.

"What do you think, Jack?" Sally said.

"That's fine with me. When we get home today, you should call Eddie and Brad to make sure it's cool with them. If it is, change our reservations," Jack replied.

"Are we going to take two vehicles?" Kim said.

"I think we'll have to. We can tow the boat with my pick up and take Tom's Expedition too. That way we'll have plenty of room," Jack replied.

Kim and Sally refilled the reels after Jack removed the old line. Once the rods were finished, they began checking the hooks on the lures and flies. The three of them made sure everything was in its place before leaving for home.

While Jack drove home, Kim called Jenny's cell phone. She told Jenny about the change in plans and asked if it would be okay. Jenny asked her brother and Brad what they thought. By the time the two girls hung up, they agreed to the new date.

"Jenny said they were headed to our house. I guess everyone is spending the night there again," Kim said as she put her cell phone in her purse.

"Are they having fun?" Sally said.

"It sounds like it. They went fishing earlier and did well. I'm so jealous!" Kim said.

"We'll be down there soon," Jack said.

-------

"I talked to Kim a few minutes ago," Jenny told Tom when they met at the house. "We're changing the date for our trip to Michigan. Kim said she wants us to go up north the second to the last week of May. We'll be leaving the day after school ends."

"That sounds good to me. What else did she say?" Tom said.

"Nothing, that was all we talked about," Jenny said.

Eddie, Kathy, Jenny, Brad, Molly, and Tom went into the guesthouse. They put their bags into the bedrooms, grabbed their suits and headed for the pool. Erin and Frank showed up and joined them.

The teens gathered in the cabana to shower. Frank seemed a bit nervous when everyone else began to undress. Finally, with a little coaxing from Erin, he began to strip too. The teens went into one of the large shower rooms. They chatted about the fishing as they washed. Once they finished, they put on their suits, grabbed towels, and went out to the pool.

While the girls spread their towels out on lounges, the guys dropped their towels and ran to the pool. They jumped into the deep end, swimming across the pool. Brad, Eddie, Frank, and Tom swam for a few minutes before pausing to call for the girls.

"I'm going to lose my top," Jenny said as she untied the string around her neck. Kathy and Molly laughed and removed their tops.

"What the hell," Erin said and she removed her top too.

In the pool, the four boys shouted their encouragement. The girls posed as they tossed their tops on one of the chairs. Giggling, the girls walked to the shallow end of the pool. They stepped into the water, moved out, and dove under.

Molly swam right to Tom. Standing in front of him, Molly put her arms around Tom's waist. Tom smiled. He put his hand under Molly's chin, tipped her face up, and gave her a kiss. Molly pulled herself tighter to Tom, pressing her breasts against his chest.

Erin moved into Frank's waiting arms. After giving him a kiss, Erin said, "I hope you don't mind if I go topless, Sweetheart."

Frank moved Erin back a bit, leaned over, and kissed each of her exposed nipples. "Does that answer your question?"

Giggling, Erin nodded. She hugged Frank and said, "I love you so much. I wish you didn't have to go home tomorrow."

"If it weren't for school, I would see if my mom would let me stay here. I love you too, Erin," Frank said.

"Do you think you and your mom will ever move down here?"

Frank smiled and gave Erin another kiss. "I wanted to make it a surprise, but I can't wait. Mom said we're moving as soon as school is finished. She has the house for sale and we're already packing."

Erin shrieked. She threw her arms around Frank's neck, jumped up and put her legs around his waist. Kissing Frank's face, she continued to squeal. Molly and Tom moved closer so Molly could find out what was going on.

Still hanging onto Frank, Erin told Molly the news. "Isn't that great?" Erin said.

"That is good news. Where are you going to live?" Molly said.

"We're moving in with my mom's girlfriend Maria," Frank said.

Giggling, Erin said, "Take me over by Jenny and Kathy. I want to tell them."

Frank held Erin's bottom as he moved toward Jenny, Kathy, and their brothers. When Erin told the teens that Frank would be moving down, they showed their excitement for her.

"My mom asked if I wanted a graduation party before we moved. I told her I would rather get down here and be with Erin," Frank said.

"We can have a joint party. My dad is going to throw one for me and it can be for both of us," Erin said.

Kissing Frank's ear, Erin said, "You can put me down if you want to."

Laughing, Frank shook his head and began kneading Erin's butt. "I like holding you like this."

The teen horsed around in the water for a little while. Tom and Molly decided to get out and the rest of the group followed. They dried off and stretched out on the lounges.

"Do you kids mind if we join you?" Jeri said as she and April walked up. They carried sodas for everyone. "We brought sodas."

"Have a seat, Jeri. We don't mind," Tom said.

Jeri and April passed out the cans of soda. After removing the tops of their suits, they sat with the teens.

"You must workout, Frank," Jeri said.

"Yeah, I lift, run, and do other exercises," Frank replied.

"Frank practices martial arts too," Erin said proudly.

"You'll have to show us some of your moves someday," Brad said. "I remember how you handled those guys at Erin's party."

"No problem. I've been instructing at my dojo for almost a year. I can teach you guys how to protect yourselves," Frank said.

"I'd love to see some of that," April said. "Why don't you give us a demonstration?"

"Yeah, Frank, I'll be your dummy," Eddie said.

Frank and Eddie got up. They moved away from the others so no one would get hurt. "Okay, attack me," Frank said.

Eddie took a swing at Frank. Frank responded, guiding Eddie's arm past his head. Using his free hand, Frank faked a punch into Eddie's side.

"The key is to learn to redirect the other person's energy. We learn to use leverage and timing to overcome the attack," Frank said.

Eddie made several attempts to hit or kick Frank. Each time Frank deflected the attack and positioned himself to counter Eddie's moves. While he moved, Frank explained what he was doing.

"How long have you been doing this?" Jeri asked.

"Mom enrolled me in Karate when I was ten. I've been doing it ever since," Frank said.

"What belt do you hold?" April said.

"I don't test. If you have to hurt someone, it can work against you. My sensei is a master and tells me that it isn't important. I have been with him for eight years and I believe him. He taught me many things that aren't in the scope of normal karate, things that are very useful for self-defense. One of the most important lessons I've learned is that I don't have to prove anything to anyone," Frank said.

"Are you going to try to find another instructor when you move?" Tom said.

"I already have. My sensei has a friend near by that will take me into his dojo. I don't want to give it up," Frank said.

"We could use someone with your talent on Tomiko," Jeri said and then she chuckled. "Are you going to look for a job when you move down here?"

"I want to find something for the summer. I plan to go to college next fall," Frank said. "What kind of job?"

"We're looking for deckhands and stewards," April said. "Come see us when you get moved."

"If you have an application, I can fill it out before I head back," Frank said.

"Are you looking for girls too?" Erin said.

"Yes we are, Erin. It isn't glamorous work if that's what you're thinking. You would have to clean, change beds, do laundry, and things like that," April said.

Erin giggled and said, "Just like I do at home now. I don't mind hard work and I don't get seasick."

April and Jeri chuckled. "Well, that certainly is one of the qualifications. We'll take your application and go from there. Are you the jealous type, Frank? Our clients could be flirtatious and say things to Erin you may not like. That goes for you too, Erin," April said.

Erin and Frank shook their heads. "I don't think that would be a problem. I am very secure with my relationship with Erin," Frank said.

"You two would have to act professionally when you're working. You can't spend time getting all lovey-dovey, not when you're on duty. What you do on your own time or when you're in your quarters is your business. The rest of the time it's our business," Jeri said as she glanced at April.

"We understand," Erin said.

"Okay, then we'll take your applications and see what happens. There is no guarantee you know," April said and then she chuckled. "I can see you two don't have a problem with modesty. There isn't much room for it in the crew quarters."

Frank and Erin nodded. When Jeri looked at Tom, he smiled and winked. While he knew it wasn't entirely his decision, he also knew that he could put in a good word for his two new friends.

"Let's go up to our apartment and take care of the paperwork," Jeri said to Frank and Erin.

Jeri and April stood up. When Erin noticed neither of them put their tops on, she didn't either. Frank and Erin followed Jeri and April to the house.

"Do you think they'll get the job?" Molly said to Tom. "That would be so cool!"

"I don't know. It's up to Jeri and April. They will review all the applicants with us, but we'll probably do what they suggest," Tom said.

Molly smiled and nodded.

"When is the first fishing club meeting after we move down here?" Tom said.

"We have a meeting on the Thursday after we get back from Michigan. There's a club tournament two weeks later. It's a dolphin and wahoo tournament," Jenny said.

"That's cool. I think we'll be down here for the meeting. My dad and uncle said we're moving down when we get back from our fishing trip to Lake Michigan," Tom said.

"We have a money tournament two weeks after that. One of the resort hotels in West Palm is sponsoring it. It's the hotel that is going to host our fishing club meetings. The building we've been using doesn't want us there because they have something else for that night," Eddie said. "I think it will be better. From what I heard, they have a nicer room and a marina that we can use for our club tournaments."

"How did that come about?" Tom said.

"My dad said that Tom Gordon, the man that started the club, made the arrangements. I guess he is one of the owners of the resort," Eddie said.

"I'm starting to get hungry. Should we order the pizza?" Kathy said.

"Let's wait for Erin and Frank to get back," Jenny said.

Tom asked about the upcoming money tournament. Eddie and Brad told him as much as they knew. Jenny told Tom she would email the information to him. A few minutes later, Erin and Frank came back. Both of them grinned at the rest of the group.

"Jeri and April said they would meet with us again once the boat is delivered. They said they wanted to take us on a tour and tell us about our duties before we made a decision. If you ask me, it sounds like a dream job. I don't mind hard work," Frank said.

The teens chatted with Erin and Frank for a few minutes. They all went into the cabana to shower and dress. After they finished, they went to the house to order their food. When the pizzas arrived, the teens ate on the patio. They invited Jeri and April, but the two women told them they had other plans.

"Let's go watch a movie," Tom said after everyone finished the meal.

The group went into the large recreation room. Tom turned on the big projection television and handed the remote to Kathy. "Here, you can pick something," Tom said.

Kathy began flipping through the channels while everyone settled into the leather theater seats in the room. Each seat held two people, close if you raised the center armrest. Kathy found a movie and asked if it was okay. No one complained so she sat next to Eddie.

Using another remote, Tom dimmed the lights. He lifted the armrest of the chair he and Molly shared and put his arm around her shoulders. Molly snuggled closer, resting her head against Tom.

The teen watched two movies before they decided to go to bed. They planned to take the boat out for a few hours the next morning and wanted to get an early start. Tom shut off the television and lights in the main house. The group headed to the guesthouse for the night.

Erin and Frank said goodnight and rushed to their room. Jenny and Kathy laughed at them. Tom and Molly said goodnight and went to their room. Jenny, Kathy, Brad, and Eddie stayed in the living room for a few minutes. Jenny giggled and put her arm around her brother's waist.

"How do you feel about spending the night with your brother?" Jenny said to Kathy.

"Are you talking about all of us together or in separate rooms?" Kathy said as she moved next to Brad.

"I was thinking about separate rooms. I haven't spent the night in the same bed with Eddie in a long time," Jenny said.

"Why not? He sleeps in the room next to yours," Kathy said.

Turning to Eddie, Jenny said, "Yeah, why not?"

Eddie shrugged his shoulders. "Things change, Jen. I didn't know if you'd want to. I know we've talked about it, but that's all we've done."

Wrapping her arms around Eddie's arm, Jenny giggled and said, "It's time to stop talking and start acting. Come on."

Eddie, Jenny, Brad, and Kathy headed to the bedrooms. They gave each other a knowing nod before going into their rooms.

Tom and Molly stood in the middle of the room staring at each other. Moving closer, Tom put his arms around Molly. He pulled her close and gave her a tender kiss. Molly opened her mouth to accept Tom's tongue as she circled his neck with her arms. They stood against one another kissing. Tom moved one of his hands over Molly's back. He moved it down to her butt and gently stroked her.

Molly moaned into Tom's mouth. She darted her tongue against his. When Tom put his tongue into Molly's mouth, she sucked it gently. Tom moved them toward the bed. He kissed Molly's neck as he untied the bow that held the halter of her sundress up. When Tom hand the dress untied, he stepped back to let it fall down Molly's body. She stepped out of the dress and started working to undo the button of Tom's shorts.

Tom began kissing Molly's lips. He moved his hands over her sides and up to her breasts. Molly leaned against Tom's hands, feeling him massage her firm mounds. Once she managed to lower the zipper of Tom's shorts, Molly moved back so she could push them down his legs. Dropping to one knee, Molly helped Tom step out of his shorts and boxers.

Molly wrapped her hand around Tom's penis. She looked up into his eyes as she slowly stroked its length. Leaning forward, Molly kissed the glans. Tom let out a soft moan when Molly ran her tongue over his shaft. Molly continued to lave Tom's penis. She cradled his testicles with one hand while gently stroking him with her other hand. Tom put his hands on Molly's shoulders. Leaning over, he slipped his hands under her arms and lifted Molly to her feet.

Tom moved Molly to the bed. He kissed her while pulling the covers back. Molly sighed as Tom lowered her to the bed. He crawled in, stretching out on his side facing Molly. Tom put his arms around her and pulled her close.

"If you say stop, I will," Tom whispered.

"There isn't a chance in hell. I've been hoping we'd do this. I've been hoping all day," Molly said.

"What do you like?" Tom said.

"Everything, Baby, I like everything," Molly said.

Tom rolled Molly onto her back. He moved over her, kissing her tenderly. Molly stroked Tom's back as their tongues danced in each other's mouths. Tom began kissing lower. He kissed Molly's chin and then her neck. Moving his mouth over Molly's heated flesh, Tom kissed up to her ear. Molly held the back of Tom's head. She ran her fingers through his short hair while he continued to kiss her.

When Tom's lips reached Molly's breast, she arched her back. Using her free hand, Molly cupped her breast so she could offer it to Tom. He latched onto her nipple and sucked it gently. Molly pulled Tom's head tighter to her breast and let out a throaty moan.

Tom suckled Molly's nipples, moving from one to the other. His hand slid down her body until his fingertips felt the small tuft of pubic hair on Molly's mons. Molly writhed beneath Tom as her body heated. He moved his hand lower. Molly's legs parted as if they had a mind of their own.

Moving from her breasts, Tom kissed and licked down Molly's body. She let out a muffled squeal when Tom drilled his tongue into her navel. Shifting on the bed, Tom knelt between Molly's splayed legs. He lowered himself onto his stomach and began kissing Molly's mons. Tom used his lips to tug at her pubic hair and his fingers to stroke Molly's labia.

"Oh yeah," Molly groaned when Tom's fingers dipped into her vagina. He slowly pushed his finger deeper, causing Molly to moan again.

Placing both hands behind Molly's knees, Tom put her legs over his shoulders. He slid his hands down her thighs and under her bottom. Molly shuddered when Tom's tongue swiped the length of her sex. He moved the tip of his tongue from her anus to her clit and back several times. Molly humped her hips, trying to increase the contact between her sex and Tom's tongue.

Molly's head lolled from side to side. She played with her breasts, tugging at her throbbing hard nipples. Tom could hear Molly's steady drone as he flicked her clitoris with his tongue. A few moments later, Molly's legs slammed against the sides of Tom's head. She gripped him with her thighs as her orgasm ripped through her. Tom covered Molly's labia with his mouth and rubbed her with his tongue. He could taste her tart fluids as they coated his tongue.

While Molly reeled in the throes of her climax, Tom kissed his way up her body. He reached between their bodies and guided his penis into Molly's contracting vagina. Her vaginal muscles tried to prevent his entrance, but Tom continued to push until his penis slid into Molly.

Molly grabbed Tom's shoulders. She looked up into his eyes and sighed. Tom moved slowly, sliding his penis deeper into Molly's vagina. When Tom's pubic bone met Molly's, she growled. She hadn't realized that Tom's penis was as long and thick as it felt inside her. Eddie wasn't small, but Tom seemed much larger at the moment.

Tom pressed his mouth to Molly's mouth. His tongue pried her lips apart and he licked her teeth. Molly opened her mouth so Tom could push his tongue into her. Clamping his tongue with her lips, Molly sucked him. Tom began to move. He pulled back until only the tip of his penis remained between Molly's labia and then pushed back in. Each time he bottomed out, Tom ground his hips against hers.

Molly did her best to maintain eye contact with Tom, but the pleasure was too intense. Her eyes closed slowly as Tom sawed his penis in and out of Molly's sex. She hooked her ankles over Tom's legs and rocked her hips. She managed to time her upward thrusts to meet Tom's downward motion. Tom's body made a slapping sound when it met Molly's hips and stomach.

Rising up on his extended arms, Tom gazed down at Molly. He watched her eyelids flutter open and then close again. As he moved, Tom could see Molly's breasts juggle. He sped up, causing her breast to oscillate.

Molly opened her eyes and said, "Oh my God, I'm coming again."

Tom smiled at her. He maintained his steady pace while Molly's body quivered. Tom used every trick in the book to prolong his climax. Every time he felt as though he couldn't hold back any longer, Tom pulled back and took a short break.

Molly put her arms around Tom's neck. She pulled his mouth to hers and kissed him so hard their teeth clacked together. Molly twisted and rocked under Tom and she experienced a series of orgasms. Unable to hold off any longer, Tom increased his thrusting. His body met Molly's as he slammed into her. Molly's legs shot straight out, and her toes curled, as she and Tom reached mutual orgasms. Tom pushed into Molly and held himself deep in her vagina as his penis sent several strong spurts of semen into her.

Spent, Tom lowered himself onto Molly, but supported most of his weight on his bent arms. He and Molly gasped to catch their breath and recover from their passionate lovemaking. Tom peppered Molly's face with kisses as soon as he could breathe somewhat normally. When his mouth found hers, they kissed deeply.

"Are you okay?" Tom whispered in Molly's ear.

Nodding her head, Molly said, "Wow, that was ... I don't know how to describe how I feel."

"As long as you don't feel bad about it, it doesn't matter," Tom said. "It was wonderful if you ask me."

Molly wiggled her hips. She could feel Tom's semi rigid penis in her vagina. He felt Molly flex her vaginal muscles. Tom smiled and moved slightly. He didn't want his penis to come out of its warm sheath yet.

"I'm I getting too heavy?" Tom said. He flicked at Molly's earlobe with his tongue and then sucked on it.

"No, but I want to do something. Can you get up?" Molly said.

Tom rolled onto his side. Molly pushed him on his back and began scooting down. When he realized what Molly planned to do, Tom twisted around. Molly took his penis in her mouth. Bobbing her head, she took as much of Tom's member in her mouth as she could. Tom pulled her around until he could get his head between Molly's legs. He gripped her butt, pulling her sex to his mouth. Molly moaned around Tom's penis when she felt his tongue probing her opening.

Wrapping his arms around her hips, Tom rolled onto his back. He brought Molly with him as he kept licking her sex. Molly removed her mouth from Tom's penis and began licking it. She dipped her head between his legs and sucked on his testicles. Tom moaned into Molly's wet crotch. He rubbed her bottom and sucked gently on her clit.

Molly felt Tom's penis swelling in her mouth. Once he was erect, Molly turned around and straddled his hips. Placing one hand on Tom's chest, Molly used her other hand to guide his penis into her vagina. She lowered herself slowly, feeling Tom's penis stretching her vagina.

Looking down at Tom, Molly gently rocked her hips. She leaned down and gave him a kiss. Molly rode Tom for several minutes, enjoying the feeling of his member deep inside her vagina. Tom put one of his hands between them. He toyed with Molly's pubic hair and then moved to her clit.

Molly leaned forward again. She dangled one of her breasts over Tom's head and he began kissing it. Molly moaned as Tom sucked her nipple. Sitting up, Molly began to bounce on Tom. He reached up with one hand and fondled her breasts while using his other hand to diddle Molly's clit. She held his shoulders for support and picked up speed.

Tom moved his hands under Molly's arms. He pulled her off his penis and up to his mouth. Molly looked down at Tom as he licked her vulva. He slid his hands around Molly and gripped her butt cheeks. Molly and Tom locked their gaze. She smiled down at him as his tongue drover her nuts. After a few moments, Tom rolled Molly off his face.

"Get on your hands and knees," Tom said as he moved behind Molly. She knelt on the bed, lowering her head to her folded arms. Gripping his penis, Tom guided it into Molly's vagina. "Is this okay?"

"Yes, it feels great," Molly replied.

Tom gripped Molly's hips. He began to move, pulling her back against his thrusts. Molly helped as she slammed back. Tom's hips hit Molly's bottom, sending off a sharp report. Each time Tom shoved his member into her, Molly let out a grunt.

Molly's orgasm came on like a freight train. Her vagina contracted around Tom's penis, causing him to come along with her. He held her hips, pulling Molly against his hips. His penis throbbed as he ejaculated inside her.

Tom rolled on his back. Molly stretched out next to him. They stared at the ceiling while regaining their composure. Both were lost in their thoughts. Molly wondered how she could fall so hard for Tom in such a short time. Tom wondered the same thing about Molly.

Moving onto his side, Tom began kissing Molly. She put her hand on the back of his head, holding his mouth to hers. Their kissing turned to soft pecks. Tom kissed Molly's nose and then she kissed his. They matched kisses, planting the soft pecks all over the other's face.

Tom propped his head on his hand. He traced Molly's chin and cheek with his fingertips. When his fingertips came near her lips, Molly kissed them. Following his hand with his eyes, Tom explored Molly's upper body. He maintained contact as he moved over her chest and around her firm breasts. Molly watched Tom's face, smiling when their eyes met.

"You are so beautiful," Tom said softly as he moved his hand over Molly's soft belly.

"Do you really think so?" Molly replied. Her voice quivered as she whispered.

"Yes, I really think you're beautiful." Tom continued to touch Molly, trailing his fingers to the tuft of red pubic hair on her mons. "I think you're very sexy too."

Molly smiled. Until she met Eddie and Kathy, along with the rest of her new friends, she didn't hear positive things about her or the way she looked. Molly's mother told her she was pretty, and looked fine, but what else would a mother say. Even with the encouragement she received, Molly still harbored feelings of inadequacies.

"You don't think I'm too—um, big?" Molly asked Tom.

Tom chuckled. When he saw Molly's face change, he said, "Molly, you're no bigger than any of the other girls. I don't know why you keep saying that."

"When I look at my self in the mirror, I see a fat slob. I think my butt is too big and that I'm ugly."

"Sweetie, you're looking in the wrong mirror. You're not fat, not by a long shot. You have a cute ass and a great body." Tom moved his hand up between Molly's breasts. "The most important thing about anyone is what's in here. You are not only beautiful and sexy; you're a wonderful person too."

Smiling, Molly said, "I'll bet you say that to all the naked girls you just had sex with, don't you?"

Shaking his head, Tom said, "I only make love with girls I feel that way about."

Molly's eyes filled with tears. She blinked, causing tiny droplets to run down the side of her face. Leaning over, Tom kissed away the tears. He moved his mouth to Molly's and they kissed.

"I felt that way too. You know, that we made love," Molly said.

"We did make love. Molly, I care about you. I hope you don't think this is about sex, because it isn't," Tom said. "I would feel the same if we didn't make love."

Molly couldn't speak. She blinked her eyes a few times, trying not to cry. Her heart pounded in her chest as she gazed into Tom's eyes. He smiled at Molly as he returned his hand to her mons. Tom stroked Molly's pubic hair with his fingertips.

"I'll shave that off if you don't like it," Molly said.

"I love your pussy hair." Tom gently tugged her red curls. He moved his hand between Molly's legs, stroking her labia with two fingers. "I like it smooth here, but I like a little fur here." Tom moved his fingers to her mons.

"You're silly," Molly said. She lifted her arm and began to fondle Tom's genitals.

"Do you like me hairy or shaved?" Tom said.

Giggling, Molly said, "I like it shaved. I don't like getting pubes in my mouth when I kiss your balls."

"Does that mean you like kissing my balls?" Tom said with a chuckle. He was happy that the mood had lightened.

Still giggling, Molly scooted down in the bed. She nuzzled Tom's genitals and then took one of his testicles into her mouth. Laving the orb with her tongue, Molly moaned. She switched and took the other one in her mouth. After a moment, Molly began sucking on Tom's flaccid penis. She pushed around in her mouth with her tongue, feeling his member jump. Molly pulled her mouth off, kissed the glans, and moved up next to Tom.

"Does that answer your question?" Molly said.

"Yes, it sure does. That felt great, Sweetie," Tom said.

Molly snuggled against Tom. She ran her hand up and down his back as she kissed his chest. "I like it when you call me that, you know, Sweetie," Molly said.

Tom kissed the top of Molly's head. He hugged her to him, feeling her squirm.

"Are we going to take a shower? We're all sweaty," Molly said.

"If it's okay, I'd rather just stay like this. I don't care about the fact we're sweaty," Tom said. "We should get some sleep though. We're supposed to go out on the boat in the morning."

"I know, but I want to stay awake with you as long as I can. You're leaving tomorrow," Molly said.

"Yeah, but we'll be together again in a few weeks. You are going to come to Michigan, aren't you?" Tom said.

"If you want me there, wild horses couldn't keep me away," Molly replied,

Tom and Molly began kissing again. Even though they were tired, neither of them wanted the night to end. Finally, Molly gave Tom one more kiss and then she rolled over. Tom cuddled against her back, put his arm over her side, and held one of Molly's breasts.

"Goodnight, Tom," Molly said.

"Goodnight, Sweetie." Tom wiggled against Molly's bottom. "Hmmm, nice ass."

Molly giggled and wiggled her butt, pushing back against Tom. She hugged his arm to her chest, dropping her head to kiss it. It took a few moments for Tom and Molly to get comfortable, but once they found the right position, they fell asleep.

Tom woke up early on Sunday morning; his body still molded against Molly's sleeping form. He kissed her shoulder and began gently massaging the breast he'd held all night. Molly began to stir. Letting out a moan, she rolled toward Tom. He leaned over and gave her a kiss.

"Mmmm, what a wonderful way to wake up," Molly said. She kissed Tom again and reached for his penis. "Is this for me?"

"If you want it it is," Tom said with a smile. He moved one of his hands between Molly's legs and began rubbing her sex.

Molly kissed Tom. They moved around on the bed, rubbing their bodies together. Tom used his fingers to excite Molly. When her vagina felt wet enough, he rolled on top of her. Molly pulled her legs back as Tom knelt between them. He fisted his erection, rubbing the glans between her labia. Pushing forward, Tom entered Molly's vagina.

"Mmmm, that feels so good, Baby." Molly smiled up at Tom. "You make me feel so full!"

Tom and Molly quickly developed a rhythm. Their bodies moved in a steady cadence as they enjoyed the coupling. Tom rotated his hips when his pubic bone met Molly. They managed to kiss each other a few times, but it was difficult. Molly began chanting and egging Tom on. He picked up speed, pounding his penis in and out of Molly's vagina.

Unlike the tender lovemaking, they enjoyed the previous night, Molly and Tom screwed with abandon. Their bodies slapped together as they rutted. It wasn't long before Molly came. She wrapped her legs around Tom's thrusting hips, trying to pull him deeper. He reached his summit and sent his semen into her gripping vagina.

Tom lowered himself to Molly's body. She relaxed her legs, straightening them on the bed. Molly kissed Tom, pressing her tongue into his mouth. While they kissed, Molly felt a burning desire to tell Tom she loved him.

Holding Tom, Molly looked into his eyes and said, "What do we do now?"

"I don't know, what are you talking about, Sweetie?" Tom replied.

"Um, you know. What about Eddie and Kathy? What about Kim?"

"What about them? I mean, you still love Eddie and Kathy, don't you? I still love Kim," Tom said. "What we have—what is developing between us isn't, or shouldn't, change that. Molly, we can add to love without replacing it."

Molly nodded as she looked into Tom's eyes. Her thoughts felt jumbled by her feelings. Molly knew she was in love with Tom and that she also loved Eddie and Kathy.

"Sweetie, don't worry about it. I promise everything will turn out fine. There isn't anything that is going to change the way I feel about you," Tom said.

Taking a deep breath, Molly said, "How do you feel about me?"

Smiling, Tom said, "That's easy, I love you."

Molly began to cry. She tightened her arms around Tom and pushed her face into the crook of his neck and shoulder. Holding him as tightly as she could, Molly said, "Oh, Tom, I love you too! I was afraid to tell you for fear you'd think I was crazy or something."

"Now why would I think you were crazy? Even if we didn't make love, I'd still love you, Sweetie," Tom said. He lifted his head and gave Molly a kiss. "There are three things I have to do right now. First, I have to take a leak. Second, I want to take a shower with you and third, I want to go for a swim. I usually go swimming every morning."

Tom and Molly laughed. They got out of bed and raced for the bathroom. Tom reached the toilet first. He stood in front of the bowl and began to relieve himself. Molly watched and giggled. As soon as Tom finished, Molly lowered the seat and plopped down. She giggled as she urinated.

"We should get everyone up and tell them we're going swimming," Molly said as she finished on the toilet. "We can shower in the cabana."

Tom laughed and said, "That sounds like a plan. Let's go!"

Tom and Molly left the bedroom. Molly went to the room where she thought Eddie and Kathy were in. She knocked on the door and opened it. When Molly saw that Eddie and Jenny were in bed together, she started, but then she giggled.

"Okay you two, up and at 'em. We're going swimming before breakfast," Molly said.

Eddie started to laugh. He sat up, rubbing Jenny's shoulder. Jenny rolled on her back and looked at Molly.

"What's up?" Jenny said.

"Molly wants us to get up and go swimming," Eddie said.

"Okay, I'm awake," Jenny said.

"We're going to shower in the cabana. Get a move on," Molly said and then she giggled.

Tom woke Brad and Kathy. Then he went to Frank and Erin's room to wake them. A few moments later, the teens ran from the guesthouse toward the pool. None of them bothered getting dressed.

In the cabana, the group showered together. Erin told Molly she was mean for getting her up so early. When Molly asked if Erin wanted to sleep away the last day with Frank, Erin laughed and shook her head.

The teens left the cabana and jumped into the pool. They began swimming laps, led by Tom. In the house, Laura stood by the glass doors laughing.

Molly stopped swimming. She moved to the edge of the pool, jumped up, and sat on the deck. She watched Tom move through the water and smiled.

Once everyone finished their morning swim, everyone rinsed the chlorine off in the shower room. They dried themselves while laughing about the way Molly and Tom woke them up.

On the way up to the house, Molly saw her mom at the door. Grinning, Molly waved at Laura. Laura waved back and opened the door. "Hi, kids. Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes," Laura said.

"Thanks, Mom. We're going to get dressed and then we'll be there," Molly said.

Tom and Molly went to their room. She went to her bag to get a clean pair of panties. As she stepped into the bikini panties, Molly said, "What should I wear today? I have shorts and a top or I can wear my sundress."

"Wear the sundress if that's okay, Sweetie," Tom said.

Giggling, Molly nodded. She moved over to Tom and gave him a hug and kiss. "Why did I know you'd pick the dress?"

"Because you know I love your sexy ass. If you wear the dress, I get to play with it today," Tom said. He put his hands on Molly's butt cheeks and gave them a firm squeeze. "I love your ass almost as much as I love you."

"You're going to make me cry again," Molly said.

"Why?"

"Because you make me so happy, Baby," Molly said and then she gave Tom a kiss.

Tom and Molly finished dressing. They met the rest of the group in the living room and headed for the main house. In the kitchen, everyone said, "Good morning," to Laura.

"Okay, we have waffles and sausage this morning," Laura said.

"Are there any of those cinnamon rolls left?" Frank asked.

"No, but I made a fresh batch this morning. They're almost ready to come out of the oven. I'm surprised you couldn't smell them," Laura said.

"I could smell them, Mrs. Durham. I didn't want to say anything though," Frank said.

"Don't be shy, I don't mind at all. I'm happy you kids enjoy my baking," Laura said.

The teens ate their breakfast. Laura continued to make waffles until everyone ate their fill. Each of the teens picked up their dirty dishes and took them to the sink. Laura told them to leave everything and she'd take care of it.

"I have to clean the guesthouse and start the laundry before we take the boat out," Tom said to his friends.

"No you don't, Baby. I'll take care of it after you and Frank leave. Mom has the keys to the house," Molly said.

"Yeah, and we'll help her, won't we?" Jenny said. "Let's go out for a few hours."

"Are you sure? I don't want you guys to feel you have to do that. You're my guests," Tom said.

"No, we're your friends," Kathy said.

The teens headed for the boat. Frank asked Eddie and Brad to show him what to do to get the boat ready to leave. Tom stayed outside to help while the girls went aboard. Jenny went to the bridge to start the engines.

"Baby? Did I hear Tom call you baby, Molly?" Kathy said. Kathy and Molly stood in the galley making a pot of coffee.

Giggling, Molly said, "Yeah, that's what he said. Kathy, I love him."

"No kidding, I would have never guessed," Kathy said with a grin.

"You're not mad at me, are you? Tom said it's okay to love more than one person. I still love you and Eddie, but I love Tom too. Tom said you can add to love without replacing it," Molly said.

"Tom's right. Of course I still love you. No matter what happens between you and Tom, Eddie and I will always love you. Brad and Jenny love you too. Just because you haven't slept with them doesn't change that," Kathy said.

Molly and Kathy hugged each other. Leaning her head back, Kathy smiled at Molly. She gave her a kiss and said, "So I take it you and Tom didn't just sleep last night."

Molly giggled and shook her head. "No, we make love last night and it was wonderful!" She giggled again and said, "This morning he fucked me! That was wonderful too."

"We're a strange group, aren't we? How many kids do you know that can have the relationships we have? If you ask me, things couldn't be better," Kathy said.

"Yes they can. Things will be much better when Tom and his family move down here. I'm going miss Tom so much," Molly said.

Giggling, Kathy put her hand between Molly's legs. She rubbed the gusset of Molly's panties and gave her a kiss. "I'll do my best to keep you happy until he gets here. Don't forget, we're going to Michigan soon."

Molly and Kathy shared another kiss. Kathy finished preparing the coffee and stood against the counter while it brewed. Molly stood next to Kathy, babbling about Tom.

"Do you think Eddie will understand too?" Molly said. "I hope Kim doesn't hate me. Tom said she won't, but I worry."

"Eddie and Kim will understand, Molly. You have to stop fretting and enjoy the rest of the day with Tom," Kathy said.

Outside, Brad showed Frank how to tend to the power connection and the water. Frank asked several questions and Brad gave him the answers. At the bow, Tom and Eddie released the lines.

"Eddie, I have fallen in love with Molly. I don't know when it happened, but it was before I came down here. Please try to understand," Tom said.

Chuckling, Eddie said, "I thought there was something between you and Molly. She's a great girl. Make sure you take good care of her. Tom, I love Molly, but I always knew that the relationship between Kathy, Molly, and me wouldn't last forever. Let's face it; a man can only do so much."

"I have to talk to Kim, but I'm sure that she'll understand too. Kim has been acting weird since the last time we were down here. I think she's ready to move on to another guy," Tom said.

"Does Kim get bored with guys easily?" Eddie said.

"I don't think she gets bored. Kim doesn't want to feel tied down, not right now. She told me she wanted to get together with you and Kathy," Tom said.

"That's cool. Kim is a hottie," Eddie said.

The guys finished getting the boat ready to leave. They climbed aboard and cast off the lines when Jenny said the engines had warmed. Brad and Frank went up to the bridge. Tom and Eddie went into the cabin to see if the coffee was ready.

When Eddie saw Molly, he smiled at her. He walked up to Molly, gave her a hug, and whispered in her ear. "Are you happy?" Eddie said.

Molly grinned as she nodded her head.

"Good, I'm happy for you—you and Tom," Eddie said. "Don't forget that I still love you."

"I won't. I love you too," Molly said.

Molly moved away from Eddie. She poured a cup of coffee, offering it to Tom. He smiled, took the coffee and then leaned close so he could give Molly a kiss. Molly giggled as she realized she and Tom sealed their relationship in the eyes of Kathy and Eddie.

"We should go get the tackle ready," Tom said.

"That sounds good, I'll help you," Eddie said.

Eddie and Tom went to the cockpit. They took four rods out of the locker and rigged them for dolphin and wahoo. While they worked, Eddie said, "Molly looks very happy, Tom. I hope things work out between you two."

"Thanks, so do I," Tom replied.

"You know that Molly has problems with her self-esteem, don't you? She feels like she isn't attractive. That guy she used to date screwed her up," Eddie said.

"I don't know why Molly feels that way. She is very cute as far as I'm concerned. If I would have known that her old boyfriend screwed her up that much, I would have yanked his nuts off at the prom," Tom said.

"She's getting better, but Molly still needs a lot of reassurance. What you did to Lenny was priceless! If I wouldn't have been thrown out of school, I'd have pounded him myself," Eddie said.

"I can relate to that. Jack and I were tossed out of a school because we kicked the shit out of two guys that treated Kim and Sally like shit. One of them tried to rape Kim. Our school had a zero tolerance for fighting so they expelled Jack and me. I don't care, it was worth it," Tom said.

Tom and Eddie finished preparing the rods. They stood in the cockpit, resting against the gunwale. "Don't worry about Molly, Eddie. I'll do whatever I can to help her with her self-esteem. I don't have to lie when I tell Molly she is beautiful and sexy."

Eddie chuckled as he nodded.

Jenny guided the boat out into the ocean. When she called to the cockpit via the intercom, Eddie and Tom began setting the lines. Molly and Kathy came out to help. Once they set all four lines, the four teens stood back to wait for a fish to take one of the lures.

Molly moved in front of Tom. He put his arms around her, pulling Molly back to him. Tom kissed Molly's neck and whispered in her ear. "You look great in this dress."

Turning in Tom's arms, Molly looked up into his eyes. "I'm glad you like it. I'll get more and always wear a skirt or dress for you if you want me to."

"I like you in shorts and jeans too—tight jeans so they show off your cute ass," Tom said with a chuckle.

Giggling, Molly said, "I really think you're obsessed with my butt."

"And that's a problem because?" Tom said and then he laughed.

"No problem at all. It's all yours, Baby," Molly said. She stretched up and kissed Tom. "Just like the rest of me is all yours."

Tom chuckled as he moved his hands up to Molly's breasts. He gave her a firm squeeze and then a kiss. "Good, you have so many great parts that it's going to take me years to get to know each one." Tom released Molly's breasts. She faked a pout and then giggled. "I want you to always remember that what I love most is on the inside, Sweetie. I want to get to know about your dreams and goals too."

"It may sound silly to you, but I feel like I'm living a dream right now," Molly said.

Tom pinched Molly's bottom and chuckled when she said, "Ouch! What was that for?"

"Just to let you know it isn't a dream," Tom said.

"That hurt. Now you have to kiss it better," Molly said with a giggle.

Before she knew what was happening, Tom turned Molly around. He pulled up the back of her sundress, leaned over, and kissed her bottom. Kathy and Eddie began laughing when Molly blushed.

"There, is that better?" Tom said as he turned Molly back to him.

"You nut!" Molly giggled. "Yeah, it's a little better. Maybe you should do it again."

"Okay you two, we have staterooms for that kind of behavior," Kathy said while trying to sound like an adult.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking," Molly said. She looked away from Kathy.

Kathy came over to Molly. She pulled Molly into a hug and said, "Why are you sorry?"

"I don't know. I didn't mean to act like that in front of you and Eddie," Molly said in a very low voice.

"You don't have to be sorry for anything you do, not with Tom or anyone you want to be with. Eddie and I aren't jealous if that's what you're worrying about, Honey. I think it was cute." Kathy held Molly closer. "I don't know too many guys that would kiss your butt in front of someone like Tom did."

Giggling, Molly said, "He likes my butt."

Tom heard Molly. He laughed and said, "Actually, I love your butt!"

Everyone laughed. Molly hugged Kathy and thanked her for being understanding. Kathy shook it off and told Molly not to worry so much.

"Fish on!" Tom yelled. He sprang across the cockpit and grabbed the port rod. Holding the rod, Tom began to reel in the line. Once he set the hook, Tom began to battle the fish.

"Do you want to take this fish, Molly?" Tom said.

"No, you can take it, Baby," Molly said. She moved beside Tom so she could watch him fight the fish.

Jenny stood on the tuna tower watching Tom as she maneuvered the boat. Frank stood next to her, watching how Jenny used the wheel, throttles, and shifters to turn the boat.

"It looks like Tom and Molly are a couple now," Frank said.

"Yup, it sure does. That's good for Molly. She needs a boyfriend," Jenny said.

"Erin said she was going with Eddie and Kathy. What's going to happen there?" Frank said.

"I don't know, but I think this will be better. While Molly is part of that relationship, she will always be on the outside. My brother loves Kathy. It wouldn't surprise me if they ended up married someday," Jenny said.

"How about Kim and Tom? Aren't they a couple?" Frank said.

"Kim and Tom are cousins too. I've talked to Kim and she told me she felt tied down, and that she didn't want to feel that way. I think she'll look for someone new when she moves down here."

"I guess that is a strange relationship, isn't it?" Frank said.

"No, I don't think it's strange at all. If I remember, you fooled around with your cousin too," Jenny said and then she giggled.

"A lot has happened since then, hasn't it? If I forgot, thanks," Frank said.

Jenny grinned at Frank and continued her thought. "Jack and Sally are a couple and they're cousins. I guess only time will tell about them. When you get to know Sally, you'll find she is one strange chick. Sally is completely submissive to Jack and she is one of the smartest people I know," Jenny said. "If nothing else, Sally will flat out surprise you when you least expect it."

"What do you think about Erin and me working on the yacht? Do you think we stand a chance?" Frank said.

"I don't know Jeri or April very well, but I don't think they would have accepted your applications if they weren't interested. Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally own the yacht, but they let Jeri and April make most of the decisions," Jenny said.

"I think it would be a great job," Frank said.

"No doubt! Working on a luxury yacht sounds like it would be fun. I prefer fishing though."

"What's the deal with this boat? Is it true that Jack and Tom's dads bought if for you guys?" Frank said.

"Yeah, and Eddie, Brad, Kathy, and I helped design it. My dad is part of the boat too. You should have been here when we found out this boat was going to be ours. Now we have sponsors. We're going to be fishing in a lot of big name tournaments," Jenny said.

While she talked, Jenny kept a close eye on Tom. When she noticed the fish was close to the stern, Jenny backed off on the throttles. In the cockpit, Eddie gaffed the dolphin. Kathy opened the transom door so Eddie could pull it on deck.

Eddie removed the hook from the fish and placed it in the hold. Tom reset the line after checking the leader for chafing and making sure the knots were secure.

Brad and Erin came out of the cabin. Erin went over to Molly and told her that Brad had been showing her around the boat and telling her some of the things she'd need to know if she got the job on the yacht.

Eddie showed Brad the dolphin and then Brad went up to the tower. He told Frank that he would stay with Jenny so Frank could be with Erin.

"Want another cup of coffee?" Molly said to Tom.

"Sure, I'll go with you. Does anyone else need anything?" Tom said.

Eddie asked for coffee. Molly told him she would get him a cup too. She and Tom went into the cabin. In the galley, Tom wrapped his arms around Molly. He held her close, kissing her tenderly. Molly melted into Tom's arms.

"I hope we get back early enough for us to have some time alone," Tom said. "I'm going to miss you so much."

Molly felt as if she would cry. She held Tom and nodded her head. "I'm going to miss you too, Baby."

Tom moved his hands down Molly's back. Lifting the back of her dress, he rubbed her bottom. Tom slid his hands into Molly's panties and kneaded her butt cheeks. Molly cooed as Tom's hands moved over her. She pressed herself against him, feeling his penis against her stomach.

Reaching between them, Molly rubbed Tom's erection. He kissed her lips, slipping his tongue into her mouth. Feeling frisky, Molly lowered the zipper on Tom's shorts. She pulled his penis out through his fly and stroked it. Moving back, Molly leaned over and took Tom's member in her mouth.

Molly moaned around Tom's penis. She felt it swell against her tongue as she slowly bobbed her head. Tom reached over her back and played with Molly's bottom. After a moment, Molly stood up. She giggled and gave Tom a kiss.

"It's weird, but I never liked doing that before. Now I love it," Molly said.

"Cool, that makes two of us," Tom said with a chuckle.

Tom fixed himself while Molly fixed coffee for him and Eddie. He watched Molly filling the cups and then putting the lids on the stainless steel mugs. Tom and Molly went back to the cockpit.

After about three hours, Jenny headed back to the house. Eddie and Tom stowed the gear and washed down the cockpit. When they arrived at the house, Frank helped secure the boat to the seawall.

"Eddie and I will take care of everything. Why don't you guys go get ready to leave," Brad said.

After thanking the others, Frank, Erin, Tom, and Molly headed for the guesthouse. The two couples scurried to the bedrooms, both knowing what they wanted to do.

Molly began to cry after she and Tom made love. Hugging Tom, Molly said, "I wish you could stay."

"So do I, Sweetie. It won't be long before we're together again," Tom said.

"We better get cleaned up. You and Frank are going to have to leave for the airport soon. Tom, thank you for coming down and taking me to my prom. I have a confession to make," Molly said.

Tom raised his eyebrows.

"Do you remember the night in the cockpit when we were at the tournament? The night you tried to convince me my ass was cute. I think I started falling in love with you that night," Molly said.

"It looks as if things are going to work out for us, Sweetie. I love you," Tom said.

Molly fought back her tears. She and Tom went into the bathroom so they could shower. While washing his legs, Molly took Tom's penis in her mouth. She dropped the soap, grabbed the backs of his thighs and proceeded to give him a blowjob. When Tom came, Molly swallowed every drop of his semen.

"There, now you have something to look forward to when I see you again," Molly said after standing up.

Tom kissed Molly. "I look forward to seeing you, holding your hand, and kissing you. Everything else is a bonus, Sweetie."

Molly and Tom finished in the shower. They dried each other while sharing kisses and words of love. Tom dressed in slacks and a shirt. Molly stayed naked until he finished dressing and then she put on shorts and a top. Tom packed his bag, grabbed his camera case and left the room with Molly at his side.

Everyone sat in the living room until it was time to leave for the airport. Eddie drove the group in the van. Molly sat on Tom's lap, kissing and hugging him the entire way. Erin and Molly cried as they watched Tom and Frank board the private plane. The teens waited until the plane took off before heading back to the house so they could clean the boat and the guesthouse.

During the trip back, Frank and Tom talked about the few days they spent in Florida. They laughed and relived most of the interesting moments. When the plane landed in Ohio, Frank and Tom shook hands. Frank told Tom he would see him in a month and left.

The plane landed in Michigan. Tom got off and walked into the small executive terminal. Jack, Sally, and Kim stood in the terminal waiting for Tom. When Tom spotted Kim, he felt a lump form in his throat. He waited for a moment, wondering what to do. Kim scurried over to Tom, threw her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss.

"Hi, Honey, I'm glad you're home safe and sound," Kim said.

"Thanks, I'm glad to be home," Tom said. He shook Jack's hand and gave Sally a hug and kiss. The four of them went out to Jack's truck and headed home.

"So, did you have fun?" Kim asked as she sat next to Tom in the backseat of the truck. Sally twisted around so she could see her brother.

"Yeah, it was a blast. The dance was fun and then we went fishing," Tom said. He went on, telling his sister and cousins about the trip.

When they arrived at the house, Tom and the rest of them went inside. Tom talked with his parents and his aunt and uncle, telling them about the trip. Anne told Tom she was glad he enjoyed the trip.

Tom took his bag and camera up to his room. Kim followed Tom, standing in the bedroom while Tom put his things away. Tom turned to Kim. She flowed into his arms and hugged him.

"Kim, we have to talk," Tom said.

Chapter 44


Kim giggled as she squeezed Tom. "I know, I want to hear all about the prom and your weekend in Florida," Kim said.

"That's not what we need to talk about," Tom said. His body stiffened in Kim's arms.

Kim relaxed her grip and looked up at Tom. They stared into each other's eyes for several moments. Kim continued to smile while Tom tried to compose his thoughts and feelings. In the plane, after dropping Frank off in Toledo, Tom thought long and hard about what happened while he was in Florida. He couldn't get Molly out of his mind or, more importantly, his heart.

"We need to talk about us, Kim. I, um, well..."

"You fell for Molly, didn't you?" Kim said. She kept smiling as she watched Tom's face go slack. "Tom, let's sit down."

Tom and Kim sat on their bed. She took his hand, holding it with both of her hands. Kim twisted, pulling one leg under her so she could face Tom.

"It's okay you know. I kind of thought this would happen if you went to the prom, and spent the weekend with Molly. If you haven't noticed, Molly likes you—she likes you a lot. I knew the night you came to our stateroom after you two talked. Do you remember that night?" Kim said.

Tom swallowed and nodded his head.

"After that night, Molly couldn't keep her eyes off you. I knew that she wanted to get closer to you. She talked to me about how nice she thought you were and I told her you were a sweetheart. That's why I suggested that you take her to the prom," Kim said.

"What about us, Kim?" Tom said softly.

"What about us? You're my cousin; we're family and always will be. I love you with all my heart. That will never change no matter what happens between you and Molly, or any other girl."

"I do like Molly. She is sweet and fun. Honey, if something develops between Molly and me—I don't know." Tom sighed as he once again tried to compose his thoughts. "If Molly and I start dating, it will have to be me and her."

Nodding, Kim said, "I know. Molly's relationship with Kathy and Eddie isn't good for her. I know I couldn't be in that kind of relationship. No matter how they try to treat her as an equal, Molly will always be an outsider. Eddie and Kathy meant well, but I don't think their relationship with Molly can last."

"I couldn't do that to Molly or anyone else, Kim. If, and I do mean if, Molly and I get together, she will be first and foremost. She deserves what she wants," Tom said.

"Oh, Sweetie, Molly wants you! She wants you bad," Kim said with a giggle.

"Does that mean you and me..." Tom began to say.

"Tom, you and I can still have sex together if that's what you're wondering. At least for now. I don't know what will happen in the future. When we move to Florida, you may not want to fuck me anymore. Regardless, it's sex, not a life long commitment.

"Let's face it, we're different—our families I mean. Sex isn't what makes our relationships what they are. Sex is fun for me and I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it. Ever since the first time, I have craved sex. I don't know, maybe I'm weird or something," Kim said.

Tom chuckled. "If craving sex makes a person weird, then I'm weird too! Kim, I'm just confused right now. I don't know what I want."

"I think I know what I want. I want to have fun. I want to go out with other boys and not have you, or anyone else, get mad at me. We are going to meet new people after we move and I might find a boy, or boys, that I want to date. Tom, do you like Molly?" Kim said.

"Yes, I told you I do," Tom replied.

"Well, if you do, you should call her and let her know you got home okay," Kim said.

"Oh shit, I forgot I told Molly I would call her," Tom said as he jumped up. He took the piece of paper with Molly's number out of his wallet and dialed the phone.

"Hi, Molly, it's Tom. I wanted to let you know I'm home," Tom said.

"That's good. How was your flight?" Molly said.

"It was fine. We had good weather so it wasn't too bumpy," Tom said.

"We cleaned the house and the boat." Molly paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Tom, I miss you."

Tom glanced at Kim. She sat on the bed, watching and listening. "I miss you too, Molly," Tom said. Kim began grinning.

Molly giggled. "Um, did Kim tell you she called me today?"

Tom looked at Kim and furrowed his brow. "No, Kim didn't tell me that she called you. What did she want?"

"Just girl talk. She is so cool," Molly said. "Is she there?"

"Um, yeah, she's sitting next to me."

"Can I talk to her for a minute please?" Molly said.

"Sure, I guess so," Tom replied, feeling a bit miffed. He handed the phone to Kim. "Molly wants to talk to you."

"Hey there," Kim said. "What's up?"

Molly and Kim talked for a few minutes. Tom listened, but Kim only responded to Molly with a series of, "Yeah, okay, that's cool," and giggles. Then, Kim reached over and put her hand on Tom's crotch. She laughed and handed the phone back to Tom.

"Hi, Sweetie, is Kim doing what I told her to do?" Molly said.

"Um, what did you tell her to do?" Tom said.

"I told her to make sure that you didn't get too horny. I don't want you to go looking for someone else," Molly said.

Kim lowered Tom's zipper. He tried to push her away, but Kim didn't let it faze her. Once Tom's pants were open, Kim pulled out his penis.

"What are you two up to?" Tom said to Molly.

"Well, I'm lying on my bed and I'm naked. I'm playing with my pussy, imagining it's your fingers inside me. If I'm right, Kim is playing with your beautiful cock. I'm imagining that it's my mouth around it," Molly said.

Kim took Tom's cock in her mouth. While she bobbed her head up and down, Molly told Tom what she was doing to herself. It took a moment, but Tom got into the playfulness. He began telling Molly what he would be doing to her if she were there. The strange phone-sex lasted for about fifteen minutes. Molly let out a groan when she came. A moment later, Tom came in Kim's mouth.

"Damn, that was so hot!" Tom said.

"It was hot for me too, Sweetie. Make sure you take care of Kim," Molly said. "It wouldn't be fair to her if you didn't."

"Is this what I have to look forward to until we move down to Florida?" Tom said.

"Yes," Kim and Molly said at the same time.

"Tom, you know how I feel about you—I love you. I also know how close you and Kim are. When we're together, we can talk about the future, but for now this is what I want," Molly said.

"What about Eddie and Kathy?" Tom said.

Molly giggled and said, "Maybe I'll call you when I fool around with them. We can have a phone-sex foursome."

Kim sat up next to Tom. She put her ear close to the phone so she could hear what Molly said, and Molly could hear her.

"Molly, when I get to Florida, you will be my girlfriend—mine alone. We may fool around with the others, but we will be a couple, not a threesome," Tom said.

"You're damn right, Tom," Kim said. She giggled and added, "I hope you two will invite me to join you once in awhile."

"We will, won't we, Tom?" Molly said.

"Hell yeah!" Tom said, causing Kim and Molly to laugh.

"He's a horny boy, isn't he?" Kim said.

"Would we want it any other way, Kim?" Molly replied.

"No," Kim said with a giggle. "I'll talk to you later, Molly. You and Tom can talk without me now."

Kim left the room after kissing Tom's cheek.

"Molly, you know you don't have to do this, don't you? I can wait until I see you again," Tom said.

"That's what Kim said, but I want to. That is if you do," Molly said. "I also told Kim I didn't mind if you two slept together—in fact, I insisted that you do. Tom, I love you. I know this is very sudden and it's going to take time for you to adjust. I can wait."

"I love you too, Molly. I'm not sure what I'll do."

"Whatever you decide, I'll support you. Isn't that what people in love do?" Molly said.

"Yes, that's exactly what people in love do. Um, don't you find all of this a bit weird?" Tom said.

"No, not really. You know, a few day ago I was in a relationship that could never get any better than it is. I love Eddie and Kathy, but I don't think I could go on sharing forever. It's as if you're my knight in shining armor and that you flew into my life to rescue me.

"I know it sounds silly, but that's how I feel. Tom, I have talked to Kim about this, about us. She told me she was happy for us," Molly said.

"I wish you were here. I want to hold you so bad," Tom said.

"I'll be there in a few weeks. You can hold me as much as you want then," Molly said. "I should get going. Eddie and Kathy are going to pick me up. We're going out tonight."

"Okay, have fun," Tom said.

"I'll call you tomorrow, Sweetie. I love you," Molly said.

"I love you. Hey, have I told you that you have a nice ass?"

"Yeah, and it's all yours. I'll talk to you later, Sweetie," Molly said.

"Bye, talk to you tomorrow," Tom replied.

Tom waited until Molly hung up before hanging up his telephone. He sat on the bed, thinking about all that happened, and the strange conversation. Smiling, I got up to find Kim.

-------

Molly thought about Tom while she showered, sighing as she thought about the day they would be together again. Molly giggled when she thought about the phone call she'd had with Tom. The idea of having phone sex with him was Kim's idea. Having Kim be part of it was Molly's idea.

Kim called Molly while Tom was flying home. The two girls talked for an hour about the things that transpired over the weekend. Molly told Kim that she was in love with Tom. Kim reassured Molly that it was okay. During the conversation, Kim told Molly that she was ready to move on. Kim confessed that she hoped that Tom and Molly would get together. That was the reason she suggested Tom go to the Prom.

Molly asked why Kim thought she would want to be with Tom. Kim told her that she knew that Tom liked Molly, and felt that Molly liked him. Kim told Molly about how much Lisa hurt Tom when she broke up with him. Kim also told Molly that she didn't think she would hurt Tom and that it was important to her. Molly promised Kim that she would never hurt Tom.

Finished in the shower, Molly dried off and began doing her hair. Eddie and Kathy would be there to pick her up soon and she wanted to be ready. She put on a pair of shorts and then went to her closet to pick out a top.

"What time are you leaving?" Laura asked her daughter. Laura stood in the doorway of Molly's bedroom, watching her get ready.

"In a few minutes, Mom," Molly replied as she took a top from a hanger. She turned around to look at her mom as she pulled the top over her head.

"What are you kids planning to do tonight? Don't forget you have school in the morning," Laura said.

"I want to talk to Eddie and Kathy. Um, you know, about Tom," Molly said. She adjusted her clothes while looking in the mirror.

"I see. Just what are you going to tell them?"

"I have to tell them that I'm Tom's girlfriend now, Mom."

"So, I guess you're planning to break up with Kathy and Eddie then," Laura said. Molly looked at her mom and shrugged her shoulders. "You don't have to you know. I understand things are changing, but that doesn't mean you can't still be close with them."

Molly sat on the edge of her bed. "What do you mean? Tom loves me and wants me for his girlfriend. I love Tom."

Laura smiled at her daughter. She knew how easy it was for a sixteen-year-old girl to think that infatuation and lust was love. Laura could remember her youth, and the times she thought she was in love, only to find out it was something else.

When the idea of Tom taking Molly to the prom arose, Laura and Anne talked about it for a long time. The two moms agreed to let nature take its course.

"That doesn't mean you can't love Kathy and Eddie too. Your relationship may change, but they're still your friends. Don't forget how much they helped you when you broke up with Lenny," Laura said.

"I know, Mom. I talked to Kim about it. We decided that we would all remain friends—good friends. When Tom, and the rest of them, moves down here, we'll see what happens. I just know that Tom and I will be together though." Molly said.

Nodding, Laura said, "I'm sure you will, Honey. I have to ask you something. If you and Tom do become serious, will you be upset about my job?"

Molly took a moment to think about her mom's question. It was one thing for her mom to work for her friends' parents, but she wondered if that would change when she and Tom was a couple. Molly knew that her mom loved what she did, even if it was domestic work.

"No, Mom, it won't be a problem. I know you love your job," Molly said.

Laura smiled, walked over to Molly, and sat next to her. She put her arm around her daughter's shoulders, pulling her closer.

"Thank you, Molly."

Molly giggled and said, "I love you, Mom."

Laura gave Molly a hug. They got up and left, walking to the living room. A few moments later, Eddie knocked on the front door. Molly told her mom she would see her later and left the house.

"Hi, Eddie," Molly said.

"Hey, Baby, how are you doing?" Eddie replied. He put his hand in the small of Molly's back.

"Great. Where are we going?"

"I thought we'd head over to my house. Brad and Jenny are there," Eddie replied.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. She'd hoped they could go somewhere private so she could talk with Eddie and Kathy. Eddie opened the door of the van, holding it so Molly could get in.

"Hi, Sweetie," Kathy said from the front seat.

Molly grinned and said, "Hi." She began to sit down, but Kathy stopped her.

"What this, don't I get a kiss?" Kathy said.

Molly giggled, moved between the seats of the van, and gave Kathy a chaste kiss. Kathy put her hand behind Molly's head, pulled her close, and kissed her hard. The two girls held the kiss for a moment. Eddie rubbed Molly's back. He turned her around and gave her a tender kiss too.

"Just because you have a new boyfriend doesn't mean Kathy and I don't love you," Eddie said.

Kneeling between the two seats, Molly looked back and forth between Eddie and Kathy. "I was so afraid you two would hate me," Molly said.

"We told you that we wanted you to be happy, and we meant it, Sweetie. Eddie and I would never hate you. If you want to be exclusive with Tom, we'll understand," Kathy said.

Molly grinned. She stretched up, kissing Kathy. "Um, I don't know about that. For now, Tom and I agreed to keep things the way they are—at least until he moves down here."

Eddie put his arm around Molly. He gave her breast a squeeze and said, "Good, let's get going. I think we've belabored this enough, don't you?"

Molly pushed her chest against Eddie's hand. She gave him a kiss and moved to the seat behind Kathy. "Yeah, I think we have. Thanks you, guys. You know I love both of you."

Eddie drove to his house where Brad and Jenny waited for them. The five teens sat outside, talking about the past weekend as well as their upcoming trip to Michigan. Molly appreciated the fact that everyone interacted as friends and that no one talked about her budding relationship with Tom.

Jenny suggested they order a pizza. Eddie and Jenny's parents were out with Brad and Kathy's parents so the kids were on their own.

"Are we going to fish the club tournament?" Molly said.

"I would like to fish in it. It will be the first club tournament Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally will be able to fish. They get down here two weeks before the tournament," Jenny said. "After that, we have a money tournament out of Miami. I know we'll want to fish that one too."

Brad chuckled and said, "I know our sponsors will want us to fish it."

"I wonder how the pilot is coming. We haven't heard from Randy and Fran lately," Kathy said.

"I know. Maybe Sally has talked to them, but I doubt it. If she did, I know Sally would call us," Eddie said.

"I'll ask Sally the next time I call her," Jenny said. "Sally still wants to do our own production. I agree with her."

Brad laughed as he put his arm around Jenny. He gave her breast a squeeze and said, "We should do porn. We'd make a fortune."

"We can't until we're eighteen," Jenny replied in a deadpan voice.

"I was kidding," Brad said.

Giggling, Jenny said, "Yeah, I know you were."

The pizza arrived and the teens ate on the patio. While they ate, they changed the subject to school. All of them felt they would be ready for their final exams.

Eddie and Kathy took Molly home at ten o'clock. Eddie told Molly he would pick her up for school the next morning. After sharing quick kisses with Kathy and Eddie, Molly went into the house.

Molly came into the living room and found her mom and Joel sitting on the couch. She sat across from them and smiled.

"Making wedding plans?" Molly said.

"Yes we are, Honey. I can't convince your mom to have a big wedding," Joel said.

"We have decided to have the wedding at the end of July or the first of August. There is too much to do to have the wedding in June." Laura chuckled. "We have to plan it around your fishing schedule."

Molly giggled. "Are you going to have it at Tom's house?"

Laura smiled because of the way Molly referred to the house. "Yes, I think we'll have it at the house. Marge and Anne have all but insisted we do."

"So, where are we going to live after you two get hitched?" Molly asked.

"I want to rent this house and have you two move in with me, but your mom doesn't think my condo is big enough," Joel said. "Now I'm thinking of buying something larger. Your mom and I are going to start looking. Molly, would it bother you if we moved in together before we were married?"

"No, why would it bother me? I don't understand why you two haven't moved in together yet. It seems silly for you two to have separate houses. Mom comes home in time to get ready for work as it is." Molly gave her mom and Joel a big grin and then she giggled. "I know what you guys are doing you know."

Laura and Joel laughed. "Oh you do huh? And what is it that you think we're doing?" Laura said.

"You know, the normal things old couples do. Playing board games, watching television, knitting..." Molly began laughing so hard she couldn't finish. Laura threw a pillow at her daughter.

All of them laughed. Laura told Molly she was sassy and that she and Joel weren't that old. Molly got up. She gave her mom a hug and kiss. Turning to Joel, Molly gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm going to bed. I have school in the morning. Goodnight, Mom. Goodnight, Dad," Molly said.

Joel sat in shock as Molly headed down the hallway to her room. Laura grinned and wrapped her arms around him. "Now I'll move in with you. I know that Molly accepts us as a couple. I guess I was worried about nothing," Laura said.

Joel hugged Laura. Her words were music to his ears. Joel hated it when Laura insisted she return home after a night of lovemaking. He wanted to cuddle with her and wake up with Laura in his bed.

"I'll move in here for now. We can sell my condo and look for another house," Joel said.

"We could live here you know," Laura said.

"Yes, I know, but I would rather start our lives together in a place of our own," Joel said. "Besides, we can find something closer to your job and my office."

Laura leaned closer to Joel. She took his face between her hands and kissed him. Joel responded, kissing her back and pressing his tongue against her lips. Laura accepted Joel's tongue, sucking it gently. He moved one hand to her breast as they continued to kiss each other tenderly.

"When will you move in?" Laura said after removing her mouth from Joel's mouth.

"Anytime you want me to, Darling," Joel replied.

"Tonight?"

"If you want me to move in tonight, I will. I have to go get a few things from my condo," Joel said. "We can get everything else in a day or two. We'll have to rent a storage unit for my furniture."

"Why don't we just leave your things in the condo? We can find a house and move when we return from Michigan," Laura said. She let out a soft moan as Joel massaged her breast.

Laura put one hand between Joel's legs. She began to rub his penis through the material of his slacks. Kissing Joel again, Laura lowered the zipper of his pants. She reached inside so she could fondle his naked flesh.

"Couldn't you leave early enough in the morning to change at home? We can get your clothing tomorrow after work," Laura said as she worked his penis out of his fly.

"Yes, we could do that if you want to," Joel said. He began unbuttoning Laura's blouse.

Joel and Laura went to her bedroom. They slowly removed each other's clothes, climbed into bed and made love.

The next morning, Molly walked into the kitchen wearing her panties and bra. When she saw Joel sitting at the table with her mom, Molly blushed.

"Good morning, Mom, Dad," Molly said. "You sure came over early this morning, Joel."

Laura and Joel chuckled. "Joel didn't leave last night, Honey. He is moving in with us," Laura said.

"Cool! Does that mean I have to wear clothes in the morning? I'm used to running around in my undies while I get ready for school," Molly said.

"That's up to you, Molly," Laura said.

Smiling, Molly fixed herself a glass of orange juice, toast, and a cup of coffee. She sat at the table with her mom and Joel.

"Joel and I are going to look for a new house. We want to move closer to his office and my job," Laura said.

Chewing her toast, Molly nodded.

"Would you like to help find the house?" Joel said.

"Sure, if you want me to," Molly replied between bites.

"What would you like in our new house?" Laura asked.

Molly giggled and said, "Tom."

Joel and Laura chuckled. "That's not what I meant," Laura said.

"I know. I'm just kidding around. What do I want in a house? Happiness. I want you to be happy, Mom. If I have a bedroom I'll be fine," Molly said.

Molly listened to Joel, and her mom, explain their plans. She finished her breakfast, excusing herself so she could finish dressing for school.

"I guess she isn't upset about the idea, is she?" Joel said to Laura.

"No, apparently not. Molly is a good girl, Joel," Laura said.

"I know she is. I can't tell you how it makes me feel when she calls me dad," Joel said. He stood up and went to Laura. "For the first time, I'm sure everything is going to work out. I love you, Laura. I want to be with you and make you my wife."

Laura reached up and stroked Joel's cheek. "What time do you have to be in the office this morning?"

"I don't have any appointments, but I do have work to do. I'm in the process of finalizing the purchase of the property for Don and Marc. We should close later this week," Joel said. "Why, is there something you need help with?"

Chuckling, Laura said, "Yes, I have a bad case of horniness."

"I know for a fact I have time to cure that for you, Sweetheart," Joel said with a chuckle.

Molly came back into the kitchen. She told her mom and Joel goodbye and went outside to wait for her friends. When Eddie pulled up, Molly jumped into the van. Eddie pulled away and drove toward their school. Kathy and Jenny talked with Molly while Brad and Eddie talked in the front seat.

-------

The next three weeks seemed to fly by for the teens. In Michigan, Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally worked hard to make sure they would be able to go into the next grade in the fall. They went to Dianne's house on Saturdays to make up for lost days.

The four teens got up early every morning so they could swim and workout. Jack stressed the fact that they needed to be stronger if they planned to fight large fish.

At night, Kim and Tom shared a bed, but their sexual activity dropped. They had sex a few times when they were both in the mood. Even with the lack of sex, they cuddled as they had been doing.

Sally contacted Randy and Fran. She learned that ESPN accepted the pilot, but as a special, not as a series. When she called Jenny to tell her, the girls agreed that it would be better that way. Now they could pursue the idea of producing their own show.

Jack and Sally's relationship grew. He became more dominant, but never humiliated Sally or treated her poorly. Sally loved the fact that Jack was finally seeing things her way. At night, Sally made love to Jack anyway he told her to. He spanked her several times, but only after Sally taunted him by doing things she knew Jack wouldn't like.

One evening, a week before their friends would be there, Don surprised the two families. He and Marc came home and told the others they had something to show them. Don and Marc led the group outside to show them the new vehicle they'd purchased.

Sitting in the drive way was what looked like a small motor home. When Don opened the door and let the others in, they found it was in fact a limousine.

"What possessed you to buy this thing?" Marge asked Don.

"Well, we figured that we'd need a vehicle that we could all fit into. This thing seats twenty plus the driver and a front seat passenger. Marc and I found it at an auction. It's only a year old and has very low mileage," Don said.

"We bought it for a song," Marc added.

The two families looked around the inside of the unique vehicle. The leather couch-like seats looked comfortable. There were dark windows along both sides so the passengers could see out. The limo's plush carpeting and subtle lighting made it look very elegant.

Marge sat on one of the seats. She stroked the fine leather and smiled at her husband. "What are you going to do with this thing after we move to Florida?" Marge said.

"We plan to let the kids use it for their charter business. Unique Adventures bought it," Marc said.

"You spent their money without asking them?" Anne said.

"Well, yeah, I guess we did. Is that okay with you, kids?" Marc said.

"Heck yeah! We'll be able to use this for our clients," Jack said. "Thanks, Dad. Thanks, Uncle Marc."

Marge and Anne shook their heads as the teens took turns thanking Don and Marc. Jack sat in the driver's seat, looking at the dashboard. He leaned back in the high-back leather seat and smiled.

"How are we going to get this to Florida?" Tom said.

"We're thinking you kids can drive it down after your fishing trip. Don and I will have your trucks and the boat shipped down. We talked with the other parents and they agreed," Marc said.

"We can drive straight through with this. The seats are big enough to sleep on," Kim said.

Don opened a small door to show everyone the built in refrigerator. He lifted a cover to show them the bar. "You'll only have to stop for gas," Marc said.

Don showed the families a few of the other features of the vehicle. He pushed a button on the wall that caused a privacy panel to close between the cab and the back. He also showed them the video camera that pointed rearward to aid in backing up.

"Can we take if for a spin?" Jack asked.

Don tossed his son the keys and said, "Go for it. Just take it easy until you get used to the size."

Jack got behind the wheel. Tom took the passenger seat next to his cousin. The rest of the group sat down in back. Jack pulled out of the driveway and onto the road. He drove through the neighborhood until he felt comfortable. When he turned onto the main road, Jack relaxed.

"This thing drives nice," Jack said. "Where should we go?"

"Why don't you head to the rib joint? We can have dinner there," Marge said. "Anne and I have been cleaning all day to get ready for our friends."

"Where is everyone going to sleep?" Kim said.

"It's only a problem Wednesday night. Once you kids are gone, we'll have enough room for everyone. We were thinking that you kids could sack out in the family room for one night," Anne said.

"No problem, Mom. I don't mind sleeping on the floor for the night. We plan to leave early on Thursday morning," Sally said.

Jack drove to the restaurant. The group went in and waited until the servers put a few tables together for them. While they ate, Don and Marc brought everyone up to date on the new Florida property.

"Joel closed on the property and arranged for a contractor to remove the old foundation. Once that is completed, we'll hire an architect to design the house. If you still want to, you kids can help," Don said.

"You should talk to Mr. Waters. I'll bet he knows a few good architects," Tom said.

"That's a great idea," Marge said. "We can talk to him when they get up here."

"We are thinking that we should have a party on Wednesday evening. You kids could invite your friends so they can meet Jenny, Kathy, Molly, Eddie, and Brad. We'll invite their parents," Anne said.

Jack, Tom, and their sisters traded glances. "Um, yeah, we could do that. I don't know if they'll come, though," Sally said.

"Why wouldn't they?" Marge asked.

"I don't know. They seem all involved in the golf course and things. They hardly talk to us anymore," Sally replied.

"If they don't come, it's up to them. I still think you should invite them," Anne said.

"I agree. You should also invite them to Florida and offer to take them out on the yacht," Marge said.

"We'll invite them," Kim said.

The two families finished their meals. On the way back to the house, Tom drove the new limousine. He told Jack it was easy to drive. Once they were back at the house, the parents went in while Kim, Tom, Jack, and Sally stayed in the new vehicle to have a closer look.

In Florida, Eddie, Brad, Jenny, Kathy, and Molly studied for their final exams. Molly and Tom talked on the telephone every night. During a few of their calls, they engaged in phone sex. Kim didn't participate again even though Molly wanted her to.

Eddie, Kathy, and Molly went out together a few times. They ended up having sex at Molly's house while her mom and Joel were away. The sex was fun, but Molly craved the feeling she had when she and Tom were together. Even though they made love a few times, Molly's love for Tom prevented her from letting go with Eddie and Kathy as she had in the past.

The girls went shopping with their moms. They wanted to get new jeans and sweaters to wear while they were up north. Kim and Sally told them that while May was normally warm, it would be cooler on the water. While they shopped for their clothing, Jenny and Kathy bought jeans and sweatshirts for their brothers.

Harry gathered everyone at his house the day before they would leave for Michigan. He wanted to make sure everyone had everything they would need for the trip. Jenny, Kathy, and Molly assured their parents they were ready to go. Eddie and Brad said they would be ready in time to leave for the airport. Because of the size of the group, they decided to fly on a commercial airline.

"Okay, we have to be ready to leave at six in the morning. I want you kids to get some rest tonight," Ellen said.

"We will, Mom," Jenny said. "How are we getting to the airport?"

"We'll take the van and Mr. Water's car. We should meet here at five thirty to pack the car and van," Harry said.

"I've never been on an airplane before. Is it scary?" Molly said.

"No, it isn't scary, Hun. You'll be fine," Joel said.

"Okay, if you say so," Molly replied.

It was close to nine when everyone headed for their houses. Joel and Laura tried to assure Molly the flight would be okay as they drove home. Molly was anxious, but she wanted to see Tom so bad she would endure almost anything.

"Have you found a new house yet?" Molly asked.

"No, not yet. We've looked at a few, but nothing we liked," Laura said. "Joel and I will spend more time once we get back from our trip."

Joel had moved his things into Laura and Molly's house the day after he and Laura made the decision to live together. Molly was happy about the arrangement because it made her mom happy.

When she got home, Molly called Tom. They talked for a half hour, telling one another how much they were looking forward to seeing each other again.

"I have to take care of a few things, Sweetie. I'll see you tomorrow." Molly giggled. "I can't wait."

"Neither can I," Tom said. "I'll see you at the airport tomorrow morning. Molly, I love you."

"I love you too! See you tomorrow," Molly said.

Molly and Tom spent another ten minutes saying goodbye. Once they hung up, Molly finished packing her small suitcase. She went out to the living room to tell her mom and Joel goodnight.

-------

It was still dark when Laura, Joel, and Molly pulled into the driveway at Jenny's house. They removed their luggage from the trunk of the car and placed it near the van. Laura knocked on the door, waiting for an answer. Ellen opened the front door and let them in.

After a quick round of greetings, Ellen invited Laura and Joel into the kitchen. She offered them coffee and juice. Molly excused herself and went to Jenny's bedroom.

"Hi," Molly said as she walked through the open door of Jenny's room.

Jenny turned around and smiled at Molly. "Hi, Molly. Are you ready to go?" Jenny said. Jenny had just finished her shower. She stood with a towel wrapped around her waist and another towel around her hair.

"Yeah, I'm as ready as I'm going to be. I'm still nervous about flying," Molly said. She walked to Jenny's bed and sat down.

"I know, I'm nervous too. It will be okay though," Jenny said.

"Hey there," Eddie said from the doorway. "How are you this morning?"

Molly looked at Eddie, giggling when she saw him in his boxers. "I'm good, how about you?" Molly replied.

"Running late as usual. I have to get dressed," Eddie said and then he left. Molly watched Eddie as he walked away. From where she sat, Molly could see into Eddie's room. She kept glancing at Eddie as he put on his jeans and tee shirt.

Kathy and Brad came into Jenny's room. They greeted Jenny and Molly and then Kathy went to Eddie's room. Brad gave Jenny a kiss. He sat next to Molly, watching Jenny finish dressing.

In the kitchen, the adults sat at the table drinking coffee and talking about the trip. Laura told everyone it would be her first time in an airplane.

Sarah chuckled and said, "Are you going to join the mile high club?"

"I don't know. What's that?" Laura said.

"You join by having sex in an airplane when it's over a mile high," Joel said. Laura blushed and chuckled. The rest of the group laughed.

Turning to Joel, Laura said, "Are you a member?"

Joel shook his head. "No, but I'd like to be a member."

"I wouldn't hold your breath. I'm not going to screw you in an airplane full of people," Laura said.

"It's easy. You just have to go into the bathroom. The bathrooms are tiny, but if you are inventive, you can pull it off," Ellen said.

"Are you speaking from experience, Ellen?" Sarah said.

Grinning, Ellen nodded.

The parents heard their children coming. They stopped talking about their escapades and waited for the teens to enter the kitchen. Jenny offered everyone cereal and juice.

At six, the group headed for the airport. When they arrived, they checked their luggage and made their way to the gate. Molly clutched one of Eddie's arms while Kathy hung onto the other arm. Brad and Jenny stood close and the five of them chattered about the flight. Harry led the teens to the window so they could look out and see the planes parked on the tarmac.

"You kids don't have anything to worry about. Flying is the safest method of transportation," Harry said in an assuring tone.

"I think we'll be okay once we're in the air, Dad," Eddie said. He chuckled and added, "I remember when driving our first boat was scary."

An attendant announced that it was time to board the plane. Molly and Kathy increased their grip on Eddie's arms. He pulled away and put his arms around the two girls.

On the airplane, the teens found their assigned seats. Molly sat between Eddie and Kathy. Jenny and Brad sat in the same row across the aisle. Molly watched as the other passengers placed their thing in the overhead compartments. She looked out the window at the wing of the plane.

A few minutes later, the plane backed away from the terminal. Jenny gripped Brad's hand while Kathy held Molly's hand and Molly hugged Eddie's arm. An attendant went over the safety procedures, telling the passengers how to use the oxygen masks and that the seat cushions served as floatation devices.

Molly, Kathy, and Jenny gasped as the plane rumbled down the runway and lifted off the pavement. All three of the girls held their breath as the Airbus A320 gained altitude.

Once the plane reached its cruising altitude, and leveled off, the teens relaxed. They all glanced at each other, making sure they weren't the only one that felt uneasy during the take-off.

The captain made his announcement, telling the passengers that the flight would take three hours. He welcomed everyone and wished them a comfortable trip.

When the flight attendants began offering beverages and food, the teens asked for sodas. They began talking about the new experience. Molly and Eddie stared out the window, looking past Kathy. Eddie put his hand on Molly's side, gently rubbing her. She looked back at him and smiled.

Two rows behind Molly, Sarah and Jack Waters sat in the window and center seat. Ellen sat next to Jack. She leaned across him to talk to Sarah.

"So, are you two going to try to join the mile high club?" Ellen said and then she chuckled.

Turning from the window, Sarah grinned at Ellen. "Not this trip, but I will someday."

The two women winked at each other. Jack Waters shook his head and said, "You two are going to get me in trouble, aren't you?"

Sarah put her hand between her husband's legs. She rubbed him for a moment and then pulled away. "No, Honey, we're not going to get anyone in trouble." Sarah leaned closer to Jack. "I can wait until tonight to suck your big cock. I'm going to make you forget your name. You know how much I love the feeling of your cock in my mouth and your come running down my throat."

"Okay, that's enough of that. I'm going to drag you to the bathroom and have my way with you if you keep that up," Jack said.

Ellen glanced around. She chuckled and then ran her hand over Jack's crotch. "Hmmm, is this what you're talking about being up?"

Laughing, Jack Waters shook his head. He told his wife and Ellen to stop teasing him. Ellen grinned, leaned closer to Sarah, and said, "I could always get a blanket for you two. You could cover your head and blow Jack right here."

Ellen and Sarah continued to tease Jack. He squirmed in his seat while the two women talked about the different things they wanted to do to him. Finally, Jack stood up and moved into the aisle. He reached for Sarah's hand and told her to get up. She giggled and shook her head. Jack laughed and walked back to the bathrooms.

"You're so bad!" Sarah said to Ellen.

"Me? What about you?" Ellen replied.

"Oh I know I'm bad." Sarah chuckled. "In a good way if you know what I mean."

Laura noticed that Sarah and Ellen were talking and that Jack had left. She got up and went over to the two women. Ellen moved into the center seat and Laura sat down.

"What are you two up to?" Laura said.

"We were teasing my husband. He left because he couldn't take it," Sarah said.

"How are things since Joel moved in?" Ellen asked Laura.

"I don't think things could be better. Joel is a real sweetie and I love waking up next to him," Laura said.

"I'll bet you don't mind going to bed with him either," Sarah said.

"Are you kidding, it's wonderful. We act more like teenagers than adults," Laura said.

"How is Molly taking it?" Ellen said.

"That's the best part of all! Molly hasn't said anything negative about Joel living in the house, except she wonders why we waited. She's been calling Joel dad and that makes him happy," Laura said.

"How do you feel about Tom and Molly?" Sarah said.

"I don't know what to think. Tom is about all I hear Molly talking about lately. After she talks to him on the phone, I can look forward to 'Tom said this and Tom said that, ' for the next hour." Laura chuckled. "That's the way it was with Kathy and Eddie too."

"Well, I never thought that relationship would last too long. As much as they tried, Kathy and Eddie could never make Molly, or anyone else, an equal," Ellen said. "I'm happy they are still close."

Sarah nodded in agreement. "Kathy told me that she and Eddie wanted Molly to be happy. I think that if she and Tom do get together seriously, Molly will be very happy."

"You don't think it will cause any trouble with your job, do you, Laura?" Ellen said.

"No, I don't think so. Molly and I talked about it and she seems to accept it's what I want to do. I also talked to Anne and Marge. They both feel it's up to me, not the kids," Laura said.

Jack came back. He noticed that Laura was sitting with Sarah and Ellen so he sat down next to Joel. They began talking about the trip, and about how things were going with Laura. Joel told Jack Waters that he was glad to be living with Laura and that he adored Molly.

The plane landed in Detroit on time. The group waited for most of the passengers to get out of the way before they deplaned. When they came out of the jetway, they saw their friends waiting for them.

The parents hugged and shook hands. The teens came together and did the same. Molly and Tom stood staring at each other. Kim put her hand on Tom's back and gave him a shove.

"Go greet your girlfriend!" Kim said.

Tom moved toward Molly. He wrapped her in a hug and then they kissed. Molly moaned into Tom's mouth as his tongue snaked into her mouth. After a moment, they separated. Looking into one another's eyes, Tom and Molly blushed.

"I've missed you," Tom whispered in Molly's ear.

"I love you," Molly whispered back.

Molly kept her arm around Tom. She guided him over to Kim and pulled her into a three-way hug. When Kim kissed Molly's cheek, and told her that she was happy for her and Tom, Molly began to weep.

"Stop that or you're going to make me cry," Kim said.

Molly giggled and nodded. Tom, Molly, and Kim released their grips on each other and moved over to the rest of the teens. Don told everyone to follow him to the luggage pickup.

The group from Florida picked their bags off the moving belt. Once they retrieved all their luggage, Don led the crowd outside so they could get into the new vehicle.

"Here we are," Don said as they walked up to the new limousine. He opened the rear hatch so the group could stow their bags.

"When did you get this thing?" Harry asked.

"Marc and I picked it up a few days ago. We decided it would come in handy for the charter business," Don said.

Don opened the door. One by one, the group climbed in. The adults sat forward with the men closest to the cab. The women sat behind them and began taking the moment they sat down. The teens moved toward the rear of the vehicle. Tom sat down and Molly plopped on his lap.

"God, can't you two wait?" Kathy said with a giggle.

"Could you if you were me?" Molly replied and then she giggled too.

"Are you kidding? I would have knocked him down and raped him in the airport," Kathy said.

Kim sat across from Tom and Molly. She watched them interacting and smiled. While she still had feelings for Tom, she was happy for him. His budding relationship with Molly would allow her to seek a new boyfriend, or boyfriends, without guilt. The hardest part of the transformation for Kim was the fear of hurting her cousin. Giggling to herself, Kim rationalized that she could still have sex with Tom until she found someone to take his place.

Kim, Sally, Jenny, Kathy, and Molly began talking about the things they'd done since they saw each other last. The conversation started with school, but moved on as soon as everyone knew that they were going into the next grade in the fall.

Eddie asked Jack and Tom about the boat. Brad wanted to know what they could expect when they went fishing for salmon. Jack and Tom told them a little, but said it would be easier to wait until they got home.

"We're going to drive this thing back to Florida, if that's okay with you guys," Jack said. "Our dads are shipping the boat and our trucks."

"That's cool. Don't forget we have a club meeting next Thursday. We also have a club tournament two weeks after that," Jenny said and then she giggled. "Oh, and we have a money tournament coming up too."

"It sounds like we'll be busy. We have to take delivery of Tomiko when we get down to Florida. Jeri says she has a couple of charter brokers for us to interview," Kim said.

"I think we should just let Jeri pick the broker. After all, she's the one that has to work with the broker," Sally said.

"We can talk about it later," Jack said to Sally. She nodded.

"What time are we planning to leave tomorrow?" Brad said.

"Early if we can. I'd like to be on the road by six-thirty or seven," Jack said.

"We're having, I mean our parents are having a party tonight. You guys will get to meet some of our friends," Sally said.

"I hope they don't stay too late. I need my beauty sleep," Kim said with a giggle.

"Which friends are coming? The ones you've told us about?" Kathy said.

Kim nodded. "Yeah, the ones we've told you about."

Molly turned to Tom. She moved her mouth to his ear and whispered, "Is your old girlfriend going to be there?"

Tom nodded. "Probably."

"If she comes near you, I'll scratch her eyes out," Molly said.

"I think I would be more worried about her hitting on you than me," Tom said. "Don't forget, she broke up with me so she could be with her girlfriend."

"Oh, well I'm still going to keep an eye on her," Molly said and then she kissed Tom's ear.

Don pulled into the driveway at the house. He shut off the vehicle and said, "Here we are folks." Don opened the door so everyone could get out.

As the group from Florida left the limo, they gazed at the house and yard. Ellen put her hand on Anne's arm and said, "Your house is beautiful."

"Thanks, we like it. Marc and I used to have a house, but we decided that all of us could live here," Anne said.

"From the looks of it, there's plenty of room," Sarah said.

"Let's go in so we can show you around. We'll grab the luggage in a few minutes," Don said.

Don led the group into the house. Kim, Jack, Sally, and Tom waited in the family room while their parents gave the group a tour of the house. Kim stood next to Tom, grinning at him.

"What?" Tom said.

"I think you and Molly are cute," Kim said.

Tom chuckled and said, "I don't know about me, but I think Molly is cute too."

"That's not what I meant. I was talking about how you two can't keep your hands to yourselves," Kim said. She stretched up and kissed Tom's cheek. "You're not mad at me, are you?"

"No, I'm not mad at you, Kim. I was confused, but after we talked about it, I understand. I hope you can find someone to make you happy," Tom said.

"Sweetie, you make me happy—very happy."

The group came downstairs and into the family room. Don opened the doors to the pool area so everyone could see it. Everyone walked through the doors. The adults gathered in one group while the teens gathered in another.

"This is great! You guys can swim year-round," Jenny said.

"It's nice, but we're all anxious to move to Florida. We'll be able to swim and fish," Jack said.

"Let's go see your boat," Eddie said to Jack.

The teens went outside. Jack took a stepladder from the garage so they could get into the boat. Eddie and Brad walked around the boat before climbing aboard. Kim, Sally, Jenny, Kathy, and Molly stayed on the driveway while the boys checked out the boat.

"This is nice," Brad said. "What do we have to do before we leave?"

"We're ready to go. Tom and I have taken care of everything so we can leave early tomorrow morning," Jack said.

"I'm looking forward to learning how these downriggers work. I've read about fishing with them, but I've never had the chance," Eddie said.

"I think we can use them on the Lady Guinevere when we get to Florida. I've read a few articles on controlled depth fishing in saltwater," Tom said.

Jack took out one of the rods. He showed it to Brad and Eddie. Tom pulled out a tackle box to show them the lures they would use. The girls climbed aboard when they realized it was going to take the boys longer than they thought it would.

Kim and Sally showed the other three girls the cutty cabin and then the girls stood in the cockpit with the guys. Jenny looked at the rod that Brad held. The teens talked about how they would rig for salmon.

"It's going to be tight with all of us on this boat, isn't it?" Kathy said.

"She's rated for twelve passengers. We have enough PFDs on board for all of us. It may be crowded, but I think we can manage. Salmon fishing is different from deep-sea fishing. You don't have to clear all the lines when you have a fish on," Jack said.

"I thought it would be colder than it is," Molly said. "The weather is nice."

"It'll be cooler on the lake. The water temperature is in the fifties at this time of year," Tom said. He put his arm around Molly, pulling her to his side. "I'll keep you warm."

Molly giggled and wiggled against Tom.

Jack put the rod and tackle away. The teens climbed down from the boat and stood next to it. Brad and Eddie walked up to Jack's truck to look at it. Tom released Molly so he could join his friends.

"This is Jack's truck. My Expedition is over there," Tom said as he pointed at his truck.

"Nice trucks," Brad said.

"Yeah, we like them," Tom said.

"I like the boat. It will be great for fishing in the ICW and inshore. Lady Guinevere is great for offshore, but she's too big for some of the other fishing I'd like to try," Eddie said.

Kim walked over to her brother. She waited for a pause in the conversation and then said, "Jack, let's see if we can take the bus and show everyone around. The party isn't for a few hours."

"It's a limo, not a bus. I'll go ask Dad if we can go," Jack said.

"It looks like a bus to me, even if it isn't," Kim said.

Jack went into the house. When he asked his dad if they could go for a ride, Don gave Jack the keys to the new limo. "Don't be too late, Jack. You know we have guests coming over tonight," Don said.

"No problem, Dad. We'll be back in a few hours. I want to take them to Metro and then by the golf course. I also want to show them around the area," Jack replied.

Jack went back outside. He told everyone to get in the new vehicle so he could leave. Once everyone settled in, Jack started the limo and pulled away from the house.

As the teens selected their seats, Molly insisted that Kim sit with her and Tom. Sally sat up in the cab with Jack, twisting around so she could talk to the group in back. Brad and Jenny sat on one of the seats with Eddie and Kathy close to them.

"We're going to take you guys to Metro Beach first. It's a great place in the summer," Jack said. He turned out of the driveway and onto the street.

Jack drove to the park. He paid the fee and drove in. Parking near the marina, Jack turned off the limo. "We're here," Jack said.

The teens climbed out of the vehicle. Pairing up, they walked toward the docks. Kim started to lag behind, but Molly grabbed her hand. Holding Tom and Kim's hands, Molly swung her arms.

Jack and Tom told their friends about the marina. Kim and Sally told them about the times they'd tied up there.

"Let's walk out to the point," Sally said. "I want to show everyone the lake."

The group walked out to the point. They found a picnic table and sat down. Jack mentioned that the lake's average depth was twelve feet. He also told them that about the shipping channel. After sitting for a few minutes, the teens headed back.

"How's the fishing on the lake?" Brad said.

"It can be good at times. We catch perch, walleye, and smallmouth bass. There's a lot of musky in the lake, but we've never fished for them," Tom said.

"This place is a zoo during the summer. It is one of the popular places for the pleasure boaters to gather. On the weekends, it's hard to find a slip," Jack said.

Back in the limo, Jack drove down Jefferson. He drove along Lake Shore Drive, showing the group from Florida the mansions. After the brief tour, Jack headed home.

"That was fun," Kathy said. "I couldn't believe the size of some of those mansions on the lake."

"Yeah, they're big. The Pointes is where a lot of the industrialists settled when Detroit was growing. At one time, most of the country's cars were built here," Tom said.

Jack pulled into the driveway. After shutting off the engine, he sat staring out the windshield. Turning to Sally, Jack said, "You know, this is going to be one of the last times we pull into this driveway."

"So what? We're moving on and that's a good thing. At least that's how I feel," Sally said. "Don't forget, our parents are keeping this house for now. We'll be back someday."

The teens left the limo. They went into the house, finding their parents sitting in the pool area. They all said hello and then the kids from Florida began telling their parents about what they'd seen.

"You kids should get ready for dinner. Our guests will be here soon," Marc told the group.

The teens went upstairs to the bedrooms. Kim pulled Tom and Molly into the room she shared with her cousin. Giggling, Kim said, "I'm going to take a shower. I'll be back in about a half hour." She looked at Tom and winked.

As soon as Kim walked into the bathroom and closed the door, Tom took Molly in his arms. They began kissing and then Tom pulled Molly's top over her head. Tom and Molly continued to kiss and touch as they removed one another's clothing. Naked, they embraced.

"This feels so right," Molly cooed in Tom's ear.

Tom moved his hands to Molly's butt. Pulling her to him, Tom said, "It feels better than right, Molly. I love you."

Smiling, Molly said, "I love you too, Tom. I love to be in your arms."

Molly kissed Tom. She pulled her hips away from his, reached down, and began stroking his rigid penis. Stepping back, Molly leaned over and kissed Tom's glans. She slipped his member into her mouth and began bobbing her head. Tom let out a moan as he put his hands on her head. Molly kept sucking him for a moment. She stood up, grinned, and said, "Follow me."

Taking Tom's hand, Molly pulled him toward the bathroom. She giggled as she opened the door. Kim heard the door open and stuck her head out the shower door. Molly winked at Kim. She got into the shower, pulling Tom in with her. The three of them began laughing.

"What are you doing?" Kim said to Molly.

"We came to wash your back," Molly replied between giggles.

"I thought you two wanted to be alone. That's why I told you I would be in here for a half hour," Kim said. She giggled when Molly took the soap and began rubbing it on her chest.

"Tom and I will have time for that later. Besides, a half hour isn't long enough."

Kim laughed. Tom shook his head and joined in the fun. The three of them took turns washing each other and playing. They rinsed, got out, and dried each other with fluffy towels.

Kim, Tom, and Molly dressed. They continued to laugh and joke around. When they finished dressing, they went downstairs. Marge asked them to give her a hand setting the tables in the pool area.

Jack, Sally, Jenny, and Eddie came downstairs. They pitched in, helping get things ready for the party. An hour later, the guests arrived. Anne met them at the door, letting them in.

Chapter 45


"Hi, guys," Lisa said as she and Megan walked out to the pool area. Paul, Brad, and Craig followed.

The teens gathered and began introducing themselves. The boys all shook hands and the girls exchanged smiles. For the next fifteen minutes, the group from Florida chatted with Lisa, Megan, Paul, Brad, and Craig. The teens moved to the tables and sat down. Kim asked if anyone wanted a soda, giggling when everyone said they did.

"I'll help you, Kim," Molly said.

Kim and Molly went into the house to get sodas. Kim took out a tray so the girls could carry the cans back to the pool area.

"Do you think Tom still likes Lisa?" Molly asked.

"Yeah, but not the way you're thinking. You don't have to be jealous of her." Kim giggled. "Lisa isn't into boys—not anymore. She and Megan live together."

"Lisa is very pretty," Molly said softly.

Kim turned to Molly. Putting her hands on Molly's shoulders, Kim smiled. "Molly, you're very pretty too. You have to stop worrying about other girls. Tom is crazy about you." Kim pulled Molly closer, hugging her.

"I wish I wasn't so insecure. Even since I started hanging around with Eddie, Kathy, Jenny, and Brad, I've been waiting for the bottom to fall out. My life was so screwed up and now it's almost perfect. I worry that it will all end."

"My dad told me that if you worry too much about the future, you'll miss the present. Molly, you have to stop worrying about what might happen and enjoy what is happening right now. No one knows what the future holds," Kim said.

"What would I do without all of you?" Molly said as she hugged Kim.

"You don't have to think about that because you have us—all of us. We better get these sodas out there before those guys get restless," Kim said with a giggle.

Kim and Molly took the sodas out to the pool area. When they set them on a table, the others took a can of what they wanted. Molly sat next to Tom, resting her hand on his leg. Kim sat down next to Paul.

"Where's Cindy?" Kim asked Paul.

"She couldn't make it tonight," Paul replied.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything is fine, Kim. Cindy and I aren't exclusive. She's out with a friend tonight," Paul said. "What happened between you and Tom?"

"Nothing, Tom and I are fine," Kim said.

"What about Molly?"

"She's Tom's girlfriend, Paul."

"I thought that you were Tom's girlfriend," Paul said as he looked into Kim's eyes.

"No, I'm his cousin. We decided to move on," Kim said with a smile.

Paul nodded. "How about Jack and Sally? Are they still the same?"

"Yeah, my brother and Sally have a very different relationship. I'm happy for both of them. I'm happy for Tom too," Kim said.

"So, are you looking forward to moving to Florida?" Paul asked as he slid his chair closer to Kim.

"Yes, we all are. We're fishing in tournaments. We have sponsors and everything," Kim said. She put her hand on Paul's arm. "We want all of you to come down and visit us. We'll take you fishing and out on the yacht."

"That sounds like fun, Kim, but Brad and I have to work at the golf course all summer."

"I'm sure you can get a few days off—can't you?" Kim said as she put her hand on Paul's hand. She stroked the back of his hand with her thumb while smiling at him.

"Would you like me to?" Paul said with a smile.

"Yeah, we're still friends—aren't we?"

"Yes, at least I hope we are."

Kim smiled at Paul. She removed her hand and said, "We should sit with the others. We're being rude."

Paul and Kim sat at the table with the rest of the teens. They listened as Sally finished telling everyone about the plan to make a television show about fishing.

"Who will produce the show for you?" Megan asked.

"We will. I don't think it can be that hard. I've been researching it on the internet," Sally replied.

"That sounds great, Sally," Brad Phillips said. "I hope it works out for you and your friends."

"Thanks, Brad. I'll let you know," Sally replied with a smile.

"I hear you and your brother are good golfers," Eddie said.

"We do pretty good," Paul said. "Do you play golf?"

"I've never tried golfing. With fishing and everything else, there's no time," Eddie said. "My dad plays though."

"Yeah, so does my dad, but he says he's not good at it," Brad Waters said.

"You have to practice to get good. It takes a lot of time," Paul said.

"Brad is teaching me to play. I'm going to work at the golf course this summer," Craig said. He glanced at Brad Phillips and smiled.

"Kim invited us to Florida," Paul said. "Do you think we can get a few days off this summer?"

"We'll have to ask Dad, Paul. If we can find someone to do our jobs, we might be able to go," Lisa said.

"Cindy and I can take care of things for a few days," Craig said.

"We want you and Cindy to come down too," Kim said.

"Have you guys ever been deep-sea fishing?" Kathy said.

"No. We went out with Jack once, but that was for perch," Brad Phillips said.

"We use baits and lures bigger than the perch we caught," Tom said. "You won't believe how much fun catching a sailfish is. They fight hard and will wear you out."

"Do you like fishing, Molly?" Lisa said.

Nodding, Molly said, "Yeah, it's a blast. I'm going to learn how to run the boat too."

"How big is the boat?" Lisa said.

"Lady Guinevere is seventy-five feet long," Molly said.

"That's a big fishing boat. You could sleep on it," Craig said.

"We do. We're going to be taking the boat up to the Carolinas for a tuna tournament this summer," Jenny said.

"Can all of you sleep on the boat?" Megan said.

"Yeah, we have five staterooms," Molly said. "We also have the crew's quarters. That will sleep three or four."

"That means it wouldn't be big enough for all of us," Lisa said.

"It would be cozy, but we could manage," Jenny said. Everyone chuckled at what she said.

Marge came out and told the teens that dinner was almost ready. She walked outside to see how the men were doing with the steaks and chicken on the grill.

"About another ten minutes," Marge said as she headed back into the kitchen.

Marge and the other women put the final touches on the things they planned to serve for dinner. Laura, Sarah, and Ellen visited with Dianne. The women chatted about their kids as well as where they lived.

Outside, the men stood near the grill drinking beer and talking about the move. Bob brought Don, Marc, and Jerry up to date on the progress of the golf course.

"We're opening for play this weekend," Bob said. "The club house is finished and the course is in good shape. There are a few holes I want to redo, but we'll have to see how it goes. I may put off anymore work until next fall."

"Why wait?" Marc said.

"If the golfers don't complain, there's no sense in reducing the number of playable holes. I still plan to put in several new traps, but redoing the tee-boxes can wait. I have leagues booked for every night of the week. I think we're going to do well this year," Bob said.

"I think the women plan to go shopping this weekend. Maybe we'll play eighteen," Don said.

"That sounds great, Don. I can't wait until you see what I've done," Bob said. He turned to Harry and Jack Waters. "Don told me you build yachts. How is business going?"

"We're busy, Bob. We have several hulls in the works," Harry said.

"Hey guys, how's it going?" Sam said as he walked out by the grill.

"Great, Sam, how about you?" Marc said.

"Things are good for all of us. I made a few last minute trades today. We hit it big," Sam said with a smile.

"How big, Sam?" Don said.

"Do you remember that stock I told you about, the startup company?" Don and Marc nodded. "Well, they went public today. I sold it at fifteen," Sam said with a smile.

"What did we buy it for?" Marc said.

"You bought it at fifty cents a share," Sam replied.

"How many shares did we own?" Don asked.

"Five hundred thousand," Sam said.

Don and Marc smiled. Harry and Jack Waters stood there with their mouths open.

"Let me get this straight. You turned two hundred fifty thousand into seven million five hundred thousand just like that?" Harry said. "How long did you own the stock?"

"I bought it two weeks ago," Sam said.

Harry laughed and then he said, "Are you looking for any new clients? I don't have that kind of money, but Ellen and I have some savings we could invest."

"I'm always looking for new clients, Harry. I have one question. Can you afford to lose it all?" Sam said.

"No, but I'm willing to lose it all," Harry said.

"You have to understand that there's guarantee that you'll make money. What happened with the investment Don and Marc made isn't the norm. Sometimes things go sideways," Sam said.

"I know that you can't promise anything. What would you suggest for me?" Harry said.

"What would you suggest for us," Jack Waters added.

"I would put half of your money in something fairly safe. Not too conservative, but not too risky either. I'll play with the other half and see what I can do. Give me a call when you get back to Florida and we'll get started," Sam said.

Don started placing the steaks and chicken on platters. Jerry grabbed one of the platters and Marc picked up the other. The men went into the house for dinner.

The teens came in to fill their plates. They went back out to the pool area to eat while the adults stayed in the house. The conversation around the dinning room table was light and friendly.

"How are you going to sleep everyone tonight?" Dianne said.

"The kids are going to camp out in the family room," Marge said.

"Sam and I have plenty of room. Why don't some of you stay with us tonight?" Joanne said.

"We want to be here to see the kids off in the morning," Laura said.

"That's no problem. We live close by," Joanne said.

The couples chatted for a few minutes. Joanne and Sam convinced Laura, Joel, Ellen, Harry, Sarah, and Jack Waters to sleep at her house.

Marge and Anne began clearing the table. The other women got up to help. Don got up and started mixing drinks.

Kim and Sally, along with the help of the other girls, cleaned up their dishes. Jack turned on the stereo. For the next hour, the teens sat around talking.

Jack and Sally sat near Megan and Lisa. Lisa leaned close to Jack and said, "So, are things the same between you and Sally? We haven't talked in a while."

"Things couldn't be better, Lisa. Are you and Megan still getting along?" Jack replied.

"Yeah, Megan is a real sweetie. We're happy living together," Lisa replied. She smiled and glanced at Sally. "I see you don't have her on a leash tonight."

Jack shook his head. "No, we only do those things in private, Lisa."

"I still think we should get together. You know, have a little fun," Lisa said.

"Lisa, I told you the last time that Sally and I aren't into that," Jack said.

"I'll tell Megan to do you if you want," Lisa whispered.

"Thanks, but I'm not interested. Let's talk about something else," Jack said sternly.

"Whatever, Jack. Megan, come with me," Lisa said as she stood up. Megan followed Lisa to the table where Tom, Molly, Eddie, and Kathy sat together.

Jack looked at Sally. She smiled at him, took his hand, and pulled it to her mouth. Sally kissed Jack's hand and said, "Thanks, Sweetie. I would have done what you told me you know."

"I know, but I don't want to fool around with them. Doing things just because I can doesn't mean I have to. Lisa doesn't think the same way I do. I think she's on a power trip," Jack said.

Sally scooted her chair closer to Jack. He put his arm over her shoulders, pulled her to his side, and gave Sally a kiss.

"Sweetie, go get Brad and Eddie. I think it's time to go for a swim," Jack said to Sally.

"What do you want me to do?" Sally replied with a squeaky giggle.

"If you're going swimming, you have to take a shower first. Ask Brad and Eddie to help you wash," Jack said with a smile. "Oh, you should wash them too."

"What about Jenny and Kathy?"

"Tell them you need Brad and Eddie to give you a hand. I don't think they'll mind," Jack said.

Sally giggled. She kissed Jack and then stood up. Still giggling, Sally moved over to Brad and Jenny.

"Jenny, can I borrow Brad for a few minutes? I need him to help me with something," Sally said.

"I can help you without Jenny's permission, Sally. What do you need?" Brad said.

"Follow me and I'll show you. We need Eddie too," Sally said. While Brad got up, Sally went to Eddie and asked him to help her.

"We'll be right back," Sally said to Kathy.

Sally led Brad and Eddie to the shower room. Once inside, Sally asked Brad to turn on the hot tub.

"You needed help for that?" Brad said.

"Yes, but I need you two to help me with something else too," Sally said.

"What is it?" Eddie said.

"I want to go swimming. I need you two to undress me and help me take my shower," Sally said with a giggle.

Brad and Eddie began laughing. "If we help you in the shower we'll get our clothes wet," Brad said.

"Not if you take them off," Sally said.

Laughing, Brad and Eddie began undressing Sally. Brad lifted Sally's tee shirt over her head while Eddie unfastened her jeans. After stripping Sally, she started undressing the two boys.

"What's that all about?" Jenny asked Jack.

"I told Sally that we should go swimming. Before we swim in the pool, we have to shower. I figured Sally needed help," Jack said.

Jenny shook her head and giggled. "I think we should go make sure they're doing it right."

"Yeah, you're right, we should," Jack said.

Laughing, Jenny got up. She grabbed Kathy's arm, telling her to get up. Jack, Kathy, and Jenny headed for the showers. When they walked in, they saw Sally removing Brad's pants.

"Do you need help?" Kathy said, startling Sally.

Sally looked up, smiled, and said, "No, I know how to do this."

Jenny began undressing Jack. A few moments later, the six of them walked into one of the shower rooms. Sally pulled Brad and Eddie over to one of the showerheads, turned on the water and stood under the spray. Jack, Kathy, and Jenny stood under another showerhead. When Jenny and Kathy saw their boyfriends begin washing Sally, they started washing Jack.

"What are those guys up to?" Molly said to Tom.

"If I had to guess, I'd say they plan to go swimming," Tom replied.

"Oh. Um, we didn't bring our suits," Molly said.

Lisa giggled and said, "They don't wear suits, Molly. This is skinny-dipping heaven."

Molly blushed. While she was used to skinny-dipping with her friends, she wasn't sure about doing it with strangers.

Tom smiled at Molly. "Honey, you don't have to go swimming if you don't want to. If you do, we have suits in the changing room. Do you want to go?"

The sound of laughter caused Molly to look up. She saw Jenny, Kathy, and Sally, followed by Jack, Eddie, and Brad, scurrying toward the pool. All of them buck naked. The six teens jumped into the deep end of the pool and began splashing each other.

"I'll go swimming," Molly said shyly.

Tom took Molly's hand. They headed toward the changing room. Tom turned around and invited the rest of the group. In the changing room, Molly stood still so Tom could undress her. Once she was naked, Molly undressed Tom. They came together in a hug. Molly kissed Tom, pressing her naked body against his.

"I've waited so long to feel you in my arms again," Tom said.

"I know! You're about all I've thought about since you left after the prom," Molly said in a soft voice.

"Let's take our shower. I have a feeling it's going to get busy in here," Tom said.

Molly giggled and followed Tom into the shower room. Tom turned on the water so the two of them could shower. While he shampooed her hair, Molly leaned back against Tom's chest. He kissed Molly's shoulder as he moved his hands down to her breasts. Molly let out a sigh. She covered Tom's hands with hers, pressing them against her breasts.

"Okay you two, get a room," Lisa said as she and Megan walked into the shower room.

Molly turned toward Tom, using his body to shield hers from Lisa and Megan. Tom stroked Molly's back. Lisa winked at Tom, pulled Megan under the spray, and started running her hands over Megan's small breasts. Molly peeked, watching Lisa.

When Lisa pushed down on Megan's shoulders, causing her to kneel, Tom turned around and ignored her. He tipped Molly's face up, gave her a kiss, and whispered, "Let's get out of here."

"Why does Megan let Lisa treat her like that?" Molly said after she left the shower room with Tom.

"Who knows? I think she meant to shock you. Lisa has changed since we broke up," Tom said.

"Did she like girls when you dated her?" Molly said.

"Yeah, but she wasn't mean. It seems that Megan still has a problem with her self-esteem and Lisa is taking advantage of it."

"I guess I know how Megan feels. I used to have the same problem," Molly said. "It's hard to feel that you're not accepted."

"Megan's problems are deeper than that. An old boyfriend raped her a few years ago. When we first met Megan, she was scared to death of boys. Jack treated her like a princess. We thought Megan got over it, but I guess she didn't. That doesn't matter, there's nothing anyone can do if Megan doesn't want to change."

"Tom, do you still like Lisa?" Molly asked, her voice almost a whisper.

"I don't like the girl Lisa is now. She wasn't like that before," Tom said. He gave Molly a hug. "Sweetheart, that's all in the past. You're my girl now."

"I hope so. I love you so much, Tom."

"I love you too. Come on, let's go swimming," Tom said as he moved Molly toward the pool.

Kim sat watching the kids in the pool. Brad Phillips and Craig came over to the table Kim shared with Paul. "Thanks for inviting us, Kim. Craig and I have to get going. I hope we can get down to Florida someday," Brad said.

"You don't have to go, Brad," Kim said.

"Yes we do. We're meeting friends tonight," Craig said. "Thanks for the party. It was great seeing all of again."

Nodding, Kim said, "See you later."

Brad and Craig walked over to the pool. They told everyone goodbye and then left.

"Brad and Craig don't hang around with us very often—not anymore. They have a group of gay guys they party with," Paul said.

Kim nodded. "So, what's going on with you and Cindy? The last time I saw you two it looked like you were a couple."

"We're just taking it easy, Kim. Cindy said she didn't want a committed relationship right now. She has a few other guys she sees," Paul said.

"I'm in the same place, Paul. I don't want a steady boyfriend right now. Do you have other girls that you date?" Kim said.

Paul shook his head. "I haven't had time to look for anyone. Between working at the golf course and my classes, I'm busy."

"It's funny that we've been going to class together and haven't talked lately," Kim said.

"You have a lot going on, Kim. That and the fact you're moving to Florida," Paul said. "It seems that all of you are happy about the move."

"We are, Paul. With fishing, the yacht, and the possibility of doing a television show, we're all excited about moving," Kim said.

"Do you want to go for a swim?" Paul said.

Kim smiled and nodded her head. She and Paul walked to the changing room and went inside. Paul shuffled around for a moment and then he said, "Which shower do you want?"

"The same one you're going to use," Kim said with a giggle.

For a moment, Kim and Paul felt strange about undressing together. Finally, Kim laughed. She removed her top and said, "We've seen each other naked before. Why are we being so shy?"

Paul shrugged his shoulders. The two of them laughed as they stripped. In the shower, Kim took the soap and began rubbing it on Paul's chest. He picked up the shampoo and applied some to Kim's hair. Silently, Paul and Kim washed one another. Kim thought back, remembering all the time she and Paul showered together. Giggling, Kim wrapped her soapy hands around Paul's penis. He jerked, causing Kim to laugh.

"I think you still like this," Kim said. She looked into Paul's eyes as she gently fondled his swelling penis.

"Yeah," Paul said. He put his hands on Kim's breasts, massaging them. "Do you still like this?"

"Yeah," Kim said with a giggle.

Paul and Kim gazed into one another's eyes as they fondled each other. Kim thought back to the days that she and Paul fooled around. Paul also thought about the time they spent together.

"We better get going," Kim said. She removed her hands from Paul's genitals and moved away.

Paul and Kim went out to the pool to join the others. They jumped into the water and swam over to where Tom and Molly stood with Jenny and Brad.

Glancing at Kim, Tom raised his eyebrows. Kim grinned at him. She moved closer to Paul, listening to Tom telling the rest of the group about fishing on Lake Michigan.

Lisa and Megan walked over to Paul and the others. "Paul, we're going to leave. If you want a ride, you have to come with us."

"I'll take you home, Paul, if you want to stay," Tom said.

"Are you sure you don't mind? I'd like to stay for a little while," Paul said.

"No problem," Tom replied. He glanced at Kim, smiling when she smiled at him.

Lisa and Megan said goodbye to the group. They left the pool and went to dress. Kim moved next to Tom and whispered, "Thanks."

The remaining teens stayed in the pool for a while. They gathered into one large group so they could talk. Sally suggested they sit in the hot tub. Everyone climbed out of the pool and into the hot swirling water.

"This is nice," Molly said. "I'm having fun."

There wasn't much room in the hot tub with all ten of the teens sitting in it. They shifted around to make more room and then Sally climbed on Jack's lap. Molly giggled and sat on Tom's legs. He put his arms around her, gently stroking Molly's stomach. When Tom dropped one of his hands to Molly's lap, she opened her legs. He ran his fingertips over the patch of pubic hair on Molly's mons.

"Do you still plan to leave at six tomorrow morning, Jack?" Sally said.

"Yeah, I'd like to get away as early as we can," Jack replied. "The sooner we get there, the sooner we can start fishing."

"How long did you say it takes?" Eddie said.

"We should allow four hours. I don't like driving too fast when we're towing the boat," Jack said. "Tom can go a head and check into the motel if he wants to."

"I'll follow you, Jack. That way I'll be close if you have trouble with the trailer or something," Tom said.

"Don't forget we need to stop to get our fishing licenses tomorrow," Brad said.

"That's right, we need new licenses too. You only need a license if you're seventeen or older," Jack said.

"Brad and I won't be seventeen until July. Eddie's birthday is in October," Kathy said.

The teens heard laughter and turned to look at the source of the noise. The adults came out to the pool area, carrying drinks. Marge waved at the teens as she walked toward the changing room. Marge stopped, went over to the hot tub, and told the teens that they were sleeping in the bedrooms. When Kim asked what changed, Marge told her that the adults from Florida would sleep at Sam and Joanne's house.

In the changing room, the adults stripped and showered. Harry and Jack Waters commented on how nice the changing room and two large showers were. Don and Marc showed the men the entertainment center and other amenities.

Standing naked, Joanne ran her hands over her stomach. "It won't be long before my belly is sticking out," Joanne said with a giggle.

"That's okay, I think pregnant women are sexy," Sam said as he stood behind his wife and stroked her stomach too. "I think your tits are already getting bigger."

"Just wait until they start leaking," Anne said. "My bras were always wet when I carried Tom and Sally."

The women began talking about their pregnancies. The men laughed and went to shower before taking a swim. The women followed their husbands into the shower room and began washing.

"This is so much fun!" Laura told Joel. "I never thought I'd enjoy being naked around a group of people."

"You? I'm so shy that I still blush when I get undressed in front of you. Being with all these folks is almost traumatic to me," Joel said.

Laura gave Joel a hug and a kiss. "I think you look sexy when you're naked, Baby." She rubbed herself against Joel. "I can't wait to get you alone."

"The kids seem to be having a good time," Sarah said to Ellen.

"They sure are. I'm glad we're finally here. Jenny and Eddie have been talking about this trip since they knew they were coming," Ellen said.

Sarah laughed and said, "So have Kathy and Brad."

"Are you going to miss this place?" Liz asked Marge.

"Yes, but I know we'll enjoy Florida too. You'll have to make it a point to get down to see us," Marge said.

"Jerry is already making plans for us to go down. He's talking about chartering the yacht and taking all his partners out for a week in the Caribbean. I asked him why he didn't wait until winter. Jerry said he might do that too," Liz said.

"I've told my partners about the yacht and the fishing boat. They want to try deep-sea fishing," Jerry said.

"I'm sure that can be worked out, Jerry," Marc said.

The group of adults went out to the pool. They got into the water and began swimming around. The teens watched for a few moments and then climbed out of the hot tub. Kim went to the changing room to get towels for the group. Paul followed her to help.

"I'm glad I stayed," Paul said to Kim once they were in the changing room. Kim took a stack of towels from the cabinet and handed them to Paul.

"So am I, Paul. I'm having fun," Kim said. She took another stack of towels, making sure there were enough for everyone.

Kim and Paul carried the towels out to the pool area. They stacked them on a table so everyone could get one. After drying themselves, the teens sat at one of the tables. They giggled and laughed as they watched the adults playing in the pool.

"Did you ever think you'd see you mom naked and playing grab-ass?" Tom asked Molly.

Molly giggled as she shook her head. "I never thought I'd see my mom as happy as she is. Things are turning out great for her too. Joel loves Mom and I couldn't be happier for her," Molly said.

"Does anyone want something to drink? I'm going in for sodas," Sally said.

"I'll help you," Jenny said. She and Sally decided to bring out enough sodas for everyone.

"Jack is funny, isn't he?" Jenny said to Sally once they were in the kitchen.

"Yeah, and I love him for it," Sally said.

"What he told you to do was cool. I think Eddie and Brad liked it too," Jenny said. "You don't mind doing things like that, do you?"

"Nope! If Jack would have told me to attack them, I would have." Sally giggled. "I think he's afraid of making you and Kathy mad."

"I wouldn't be mad. I wasn't mad when Brad and I fooled around with you and Jack on the boat. I don't think it would bother Kathy or Eddie either." Jenny put her arms around Sally, hugging her. "We're going to have so much fun when we're all in Florida."

Giggling, Sally grabbed Jenny's butt. "I plan to have fun!"

Sally surprised Jenny when she kissed her. Jenny stiffened for a moment, but quickly relaxed, enjoying the tender kiss. When the two girls separated, they giggled. They picked up the trays of sodas and took them out to the pool area.

Kim put her hand on Paul's arm. "I'm going to rinse the chlorine off and get dressed."

"Want me to wash your back?" Paul said with a smile.

Giggling, Kim said, "Yeah, among other things."

In the shower, Paul and Kim began washing each other. When Paul wrapped his arms around her, Kim leaned against him. Looking up, Kim smiled. Paul put his mouth on hers, kissing Kim. She opened her mouth, swiping her tongue against Paul's lips. Their kiss lingered as they ran their hands over one another.

"I wish I didn't have to go home tonight," Paul said. He ran his hand down Kim's back.

Kim pressed her crotch against Paul as he gripped her bottom. "Do you have to go home? I mean, you could stay with me tonight if you want to. We can take you home in the morning, or I can ask my dad to take you home."

"I'd like that," Paul said.

"So would I," Kim said. She moved her hand between them, stroking Paul's erection. "For old times sake?"

Paul gave Kim another kiss. "Yeah, I miss those times, Kim. We used to have a lot of fun."

"We did have fun, Paul. I miss those times too, but we've both moved on. If we do stay together tonight, it's just for fun. I'm moving and I don't want a relationship—not right now."

"I know, neither do I. Cindy and I spend most of our time together. If she wanted it, I would have a serious relationship with her. Oh well, maybe someday," Paul said.

"She'd be lucky to have you as her boyfriend. You're a sweet guy," Kim said as she continued to stroke him.

"Hey you two, get a room," Tom said as he and Molly walked into the shower.

Giggling, Kim released Paul's penis and turned around. "We plan to," Kim said with a giggle.

Tom laughed. Molly stood staring at Kim and Paul, wondering what was going on. Kim and Paul finished showering and left.

"What's that all about?" Molly said to Tom.

"I think Kim is planning to get laid tonight," Tom replied.

"Isn't he Kim's old boyfriend?"

"Yup, he sure is. I guess they still like each other," Tom said.

"I hope you don't feel the same way about Lisa," Molly said as she looked into Tom's eyes.

"Molly, I don't hate Lisa, but I could never have sex with her again. That part of my life is over. I have you now and I couldn't be any happier," Tom said sincerely.

Molly moved into Tom's arms. She held him, resting her head against Tom's chest. He stroked her back and pulled Molly closer. Leaning back, Tom took Molly's chin in his hand. He kissed her and then said, "You know you're my girl, don't you?"

"I hope so. I love you, Sweetie," Molly said.

"I love you too, Baby. Don't worry, there's nothing between Lisa and me. You have no reason to be jealous of her," Tom said. "You don't have to be jealous of anyone."

"Okay, I believe you," Molly said.

Tom kissed Molly again. She held him as tightly as she could as their tongues flicked in and out of each other's mouths. When Sally, Jack, Brad, and Jenny came in, Tom and Molly didn't separate.

"You two are so mushy," Sally said with a giggle. She wedged herself between Molly and Tom. "I think Kim and Paul are going to spend the night together. They're sitting close and whispering."

"It looks that way, doesn't it?" Tom said.

"We're short a bedroom," Sally said.

"We'll be okay, Sally. You and Jack can sleep with Brad and me," Jenny said.

"Okay, I'll sleep with you as long as you guys don't snore," Sally said with a giggle. "That is if Jack says its okay."

"That's fine with me, Sweetie," Jack said as he moved behind Sally.

Kathy and Eddie joined the others in the shower. After everyone showered and dried themselves, they dressed. The teens went into the house and sat in the family room. Jack pulled the drapes to give the adults privacy. He turned on the television, switching the channel to the weather station.

"What do we have to do to get ready?" Eddie said.

"We can hook the boat to my truck tonight. Other than that, we just have to make sure we have the clothes we're planning to take," Jack said.

"Let's take care of the boat then," Eddie said.

Jack and Eddie got up. Tom, Brad, and Paul went outside with the two boys. Jack turned the truck around and backed it up to the boat trailer. Tom guided Jack and lowered the tongue of the trailer when the truck stopped in place.

"Make sure the lights are connected and the safety chains are in place," Jack said as he walked to the back of the truck. Jack knew he didn't need to tell Tom, but it was a good practice to remind each other.

"Lights are plugged in. Eddie, watch the trailer lights. Jack will test the turn signals, running lights, and brake lights," Tom said.

Eddie walked to the back of the trailer. Jack tested the lights, listening to Eddie call out that each of the lights worked properly.

"Who's riding in the truck and who's riding with Tom?" Brad said.

"Why don't you and Jenny ride with Jack and Sally? Kathy, Kim, and I will ride with Tom and Molly," Eddie said.

"I wish I was going with you. This trip sounds fun," Paul said.

"We could make room for you, Paul. I don't think anyone would mind if you came with us," Jack said.

"As much as I'd like to go, I can't. We're opening the golf course this weekend and Dad needs me there," Paul said.

Jack nodded. He knew that Paul needed to work so he didn't press the issue. Tom felt like saying something to Paul about Kim, but decided it wasn't his place. If Kim wanted to be with Paul again, it was up to her.

In the family room, the girls sat on the floor. Sally leaned against Kim and giggled. "What's with you and Paul?" Sally said. "Are you two going to get back together?"

"Just for tonight, Sally," Kim said. "We're just going to have a little fun."

"Are you going to fuck him?" Sally asked. Molly, Jenny, and Kathy giggled.

"That's the plan. I don't know what's going to happen. We'll have to wait and see," Kim replied.

"God, Sally, are you always so blunt?" Molly said.

"Usually, I don't see any reason to beat around the bush. If I have something to say, I say it," Sally said. "I don't like talking behind someone's back and I don't like it when someone talks behind my back. If you want to say something to me, say it."

"You have to be one of the most confident people I know, Sally," Kathy said and then she giggled. "Not to mention the bravest. I don't think you're afraid of anything."

Sally shrugged her shoulders.

"If you ask me, Sally is one of the only girls our age that seems to know what they want and isn't afraid to go after it. That's one of the reasons I love her to death," Kim said.

"Are there other reasons?" Molly said.

"Yeah, Sally's great in bed too," Kim said, causing everyone to laugh.

Giggling, Sally knocked Kim onto her back. Sally spread herself on top of Kim and began to wiggle. "You're not bad either, Kim. Too bad you're shacking up with Paul tonight." Sally kissed Kim and began playing with her breasts.

"You two are shameless," Jenny said.

"I think you're jealous," Sally said with a giggle. She rolled off Kim and sat up.

The guys came back into the family room. They sat on the floor near their respective girlfriends. Jack turned his attention to the television and watched the long-range weather report. Eddie watched too, commenting on the fact the weather service predicted good weather for the trip.

Jenny moved so she sat between Brad's outstretched legs. He put his arms around her, holding her back to his chest. "This trip is going to be different. We're staying in a motel instead of on the boat," Jenny said.

"Sorry, but the boat isn't big enough for all of us to sleep on. It's crowded with four people," Jack said.

"I don't know about that. I thought it was cozy when we were caught in the storm last summer," Kim said.

"It wasn't too bad, but it wasn't as comfortable as sleeping on the Lady Guinevere," Tom said.

"I hope that I get to go down to Florida so I can check out your boat," Paul said. "It sounds great."

Kim giggled. She scooted closer to Paul, putting her hand on his thigh. "Is there anything else you'd like to check out in Florida?"

"Sure, I hear that there are a lot of sexy chicks on the beaches. Maybe we could go to the resort we visited the last time I went to Florida," Paul said.

Kim's smile faded. She removed her hand from Paul's leg and leaned back against the couch. Paul looked at Kim and said, "What's the matter?"

Without speaking, Kim got up and left the room. Paul looked at Jack, shrugging his shoulders. "Did I say something wrong?" Paul asked.

"Paul, if you remember, that trip wasn't the greatest—not for any of us," Jack said.

"Oh shit, I messed up. I'll go talk to Kim," Paul said.

Paul went to look for Kim. He found her in the living room, sitting on one of the couches. Paul sat next to Kim, keeping a gap between them.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you, Kim," Paul said.

Kim nodded her head, but she didn't look up at Paul. He sat quietly, waiting for Kim to say something.

Back in the family room, the teens sat and glanced at one another. "What's going on?" Jenny finally said, breaking the silence.

"We all went to Florida for two weeks last winter. We stayed at a clothing optional resort the first week and at a big house the second week. Before we left, Lisa and Megan broke up with Tom and me. Sally found out that Brad liked boys more than girls, and Kim and Paul broke up.

"Of all of us, Kim took it the hardest. I don't know all the details, but Kim told me that she and Paul decided to be friends, but not go with one another. After we got home, she didn't go out with him again. We saw Paul and the rest of the group, but things were never the same," Jack said.

"Is that why you and Kim got together?" Molly asked Tom.

"I guess that's part of it. Kim and I became closer when Sally and Jack hooked up. When Sally and I moved in here, things just took their natural course," Tom said. He put his arm around Molly, pulling her close. "Now that I'm with Molly, things are even better."

Molly giggled and wiggled against Tom. For a moment, she had been afraid that Tom would want to go help Kim, but he didn't.

"It isn't that I don't care for Kim—I do. We feel it's time to do something different. She wants to meet new boys," Tom said.

"Maybe I should go check on Kim," Sally said.

"Kim can handle herself, Sally. If she needs us, she'll come get us," Jack said.

Jenny, Brad, Kathy, and Eddie sat and listened to Jack, Sally, and Tom talk about Kim. Jenny leaned forward and said, "I don't know how you guys do it. You all seem to take things in stride."

"What else can we do? Life isn't static, it's dynamic. Our dad tells us we have to go with the flow or we'll end up stuck in a rut. Do you remember when we were talking about quitting school?" Jack said as he looked at Jenny. Jenny nodded. "Well, you're the one that changed our minds. You said that finishing school is the first important thing we do in life. You're right, it is. That's why we decided to finish.

"Our parents have taught us to learn from our mistakes and from other people. We've learned a lot since all of us became friends."

The teens continued to talk. In the living room, Paul sat quietly waiting for Kim to say something.

"You didn't do anything wrong, Paul. Our trip to Florida wasn't the greatest, at least the last few days weren't," Kim said. "Why did we break up?"

Paul thought for a moment and then said, "Um, I don't remember, Kim. I guess that after spending two weeks together we started to get on each other's nerves."

"Yeah, I guess so." Kim thought for a moment and said, "No, that's not what it was! Megan and Lisa decided they wanted to be together and your brother discovered he was gay. What happened to us?"

"Honestly?" Kim nodded. "I felt that I could never compete with Jack. I knew you loved him more than you loved me. Then, after we came home, I found out that you and Tom were together. By then, I was going with Cindy," Paul said. He paused and looked into Kim's eyes. "Do you wish that things turned out differently?"

Kim took a deep breath. She stared at her hands as she fiddled with her fingers. Thinking about everything that happened since the fateful trip to Florida and breaking up with Paul, Kim realized that, while it wasn't what she wanted at the time, it was okay. The time she spent with Tom helped her heal and mature. Now, Kim was free to pursue new opportunities and new boys.

The relationship with her cousin Tom, and to a large degree her brother, helped Kim get past the rejection she felt after breaking up with Paul. Although she kept it to herself, Kim felt unattractive and unwanted. Tom's love and attention proved to be the cure for Kim. Once she regained her confidence, Kim eased Tom toward Molly. When she recognized the chemistry between Tom and Molly, Kim put a subtle plan in motion. As she predicted, Tom and Molly formed a relationship.

"No, I think things are working out the way they're meant to, Paul. Face it, if we would have stayed together, we'd be breaking up now. I'm moving in a few days," Kim said. She smiled at Paul, put her arm around his neck, and pulled his mouth to hers. After a heated kiss, Kim giggled. "That doesn't mean we can't have fun tonight."

"You still want to fool around?" Paul asked.

"No, I want to suck and fuck! What the hell, who knows when I'll find a boy after I move," Kim said with a giggle.

"I don't think you'll have any trouble, Kim. All you have to do is smile and bat your eyelashes."

Giggling, Kim put a hand on Paul's crotch. She began rubbing him and then said, "How about if I do this? Do you think a boy will know what I want?"

Paul let out a moan. He opened his legs so Kim could stroke him through his jeans. "I'm getting the message loud and clear."

"Let's tell the others good night."

Kim and Paul kissed again. They went to the family room to tell the rest of the teens they were going upstairs. Paul went out to the pool area to tell his parents he wouldn't be home until the next day.

"Is everything cool?" Jack asked Kim.

"Yup, everything is fine. What time should we get up in the morning?" Kim said.

"We should be up by five if we want to be on the road by six. The first one up should wake up everyone else," Jack said.

The teens went out to the pool area to tell their parents goodnight. Jack told Don what time they planned to get up. The parents told their children they would see them in the morning.

The group of teens went upstairs to stake their bedroom for the night. Jack, Sally, Jenny, and Brad went into Jack and Sally's room. Kim told Tom and Molly to take their room. Kim led Paul to one of the guest rooms after showing Kathy and Eddie the room they would use.

-------

Kim stood near the bed smiling at Paul. She removed her top and then her pants. Paul grinned as he stripped too. Kim moved closer to Paul. She wrapped her arms around his waist, stretched up, and kissed him. Paul gripped Kim's butt, pulling their crotches together. They kissed for a few moments before Kim pulled back. She reached for Paul's penis, stroking it firmly.

"You know this is just sex, don't you?" Kim said as her fist moved over the length of his member. Paul smiled as he nodded. "Good, now come here."

Kim sat on the edge of the bed. She pulled Paul to her, taking his penis into her mouth. Kim licked around Paul's glans causing him to let out a moan. Paul tangled his fingers in Kim's hair so he could guide her mouth up and down his penis.

"Damn, I'd forgotten how good you are at this," Paul said.

Kim removed Paul's cock from her mouth. She licked the head, looked up, and smiled. "Doesn't Cindy suck your cock?" Kim said with a smile.

"Yeah, but she's not as good at it as you are, Kim."

Kim giggled and licked the length of Paul's penis. "Are you telling me I'm a better cocksucker?" Paul nodded. "Mmmm, tell me what you want me to do to your cock."

"I want you to suck it."

Kim bobbed her head up and down as she swirled her tongue around Paul's shaft. She kept her eyes locked with Paul's eyes as she took most of his penis into her mouth. Removing her mouth from his penis, Kim rubbed the glans over her lips.

"Are you going to tease me all night?" Paul said as he tried to push his member back into Kim's mouth.

"I might—is that okay?"

Grinning, Paul said, "Kim, you can do whatever you want to do."

Kim giggled. She took Paul deep in her mouth and began sucking as she moved her head. Kim fondled his testicles with one hand and used her other hand to stroke his butt. Paul began moving his hips. Kim moaned as his penis slid over her tongue. She gagged when Paul pushed too hard, but didn't remove her mouth. A few moments later, Paul began to ejaculate. Kim swallowed his semen as it filled her mouth.

"I hope you can get this thing hard again," Kim said. She waggled Paul's semi flaccid penis and giggled.

"You can count on that. Why don't you get on the bed? I have a taste for pussy," Paul said.

Kim flopped on the bed. She swung her legs up, splaying them as she scooted up so her head was on a pillow. Paul knelt between Kim's legs. He put his hands under her thighs, pushing Kim's legs back until her knees touched her breasts. Dropping his head, Paul licked Kim from her anus to her clit. Kim folded the pillow so she could see.

Paul licked Kim's sex until she reached an orgasm. He moved up, placing Kim's legs against his shoulders. Paul fisted his penis as he pressed it into Kim's vagina. As his cock filled her pussy, Kim let out a groan.

Paul pumped his penis in and out of Kim at a slow steady pace. She grabbed Paul's hips and pushed back. A few moments later, their slow movements picked up. Paul slammed against Kim as she egged him on.

Kim and Paul maintained their fevered pace for fifteen minutes. Paul pulled out of Kim's vagina and told her to flip over. Kim moved onto her hands and knees. Paul shoved his cock back into her vagina and they continued their rutting. Kim used one hand to fondle her breasts. She lowered her upper body to the bed so she could rub her clitoris with her other hand.

After another ten minutes, Kim squirmed away from Paul. She told him to get onto his back so she could ride him. Paul rolled onto his back and Kim straddled his hips. She rubbed her vulva against his penis for a moment before working it back into her vagina. Lowering herself, Kim let out a moan. She put her hands on Paul's chest so she could bounce up and down.

"Rub my clit," Kim said. Paul moved a hand between them and did as she told him. Kim grinned as she wiggled her hips.

A few minutes later, Paul's dancing fingers caused Kim to come. She slammed down, using her vaginal muscles to massage Paul's penis. He grabbed her hips humped up into her and shot his come into her.

"God, Kim, I forgot how good fucking you felt," Paul said. He watched Kim begin to grin.

"Yeah, it is good, isn't it? Do you think you can get it up again?" Kim said. She wiggled her bottom and flexed her inner muscles.

"Yeah, just give me a few minutes," Paul said.

Kim slid down Paul's legs. She took his penis in her hand, stroking his flaccid member. Giggling, Kim said, "Maybe I can help you get it hard." Kim took his cock in her mouth.

"You have no idea how long I've waited for this," Molly said. She snugged against Tom's naked body. Tom and Molly, after undressing one another, climbed into the bed. They kissed passionately and squirmed against each other.

"I guess that means you've missed me as much as I've missed you," Tom said. He kissed Molly's nose. "Although I don't know how that would be possible."

"I missed you, but knowing that we'd be together helped, Sweetie. I can't believe we're going to be together now. Do you still want me?" Molly said.

"Yes, I want you, Babe. I want you to be my girlfriend," Tom replied.

Molly grinned. She slipped her hand down to Tom's penis, cradling it in her palm. Using her thumb, Molly stroked his erection. "Do you want to make love to me?" Tom grinned and nodded. Molly wrapped her fingers around his cock. "Do you want to fuck me?"

"Molly, I want to do everything with you. I want to take walks and hold your hand. I want to go fishing and out on the boat. I want to go out—you know, to the movies and things like that." Tom bent his neck so he could kiss Molly's breasts. "I want to make love with you and fuck you."

Pulling Tom's head to her breast, Molly arched her back. She wiggled around so she could guide his penis between her legs. Tom rolled Molly onto her back, knelt between her legs, and pushed. Molly rubbed his penis against her labia until it slipped into her. Holding Tom's cock firmly, Molly lifted her bottom up. She moaned as his penis entered her vagina.

Tom wanted to go slow and make love to Molly, but because of their separation, his lust took over. Molly didn't care. She met each of Tom's thrusts, letting out a muffled grunt when he bottomed out in her heated vagina. What he intended to be a long coupling turned into a quick, but satisfying sexual romp.

"I'm sorry, I wanted that to last longer," Tom said. He supported himself with one arm and stroked Molly's cheek wit his free hand.

Molly giggled. She hooked her legs over Tom's legs and said, "That was as close to perfect as it could be, Sweetie. We can take it slow next time."

"Okay, but I still feel bad because you didn't get off."

Molly pulled Tom's mouth to hers. She kissed him, slipping her tongue between Tom's lips. Breaking their kiss, Molly said, "Please don't feel that way. Do you know that I never experienced an orgasm when I was with my ex boyfriend? The phone sex we shared the past few weeks was way better than anything with that asshole." Molly kissed Tom again. "I don't have to come to be satisfied. Just holding you and feeling you in me makes me very happy."

Tom nodded. Smiling down at Molly, he slid down her body. He slipped two fingers into her vagina. Molly let out a moan. Tom began fingering her and then he lowered his head. He flicked his tongue at Molly's clit and then took the nub between his lips. Using gentle suction, his flicking tongue, and his fingers, Tom gave Molly a climax. Once her body stopped writhing, Tom licked Molly from her anus to her clit.

Moving up, Tom kissed Molly. She opened her mouth, accepting Tom's tongue. Hugging him to her, Molly kissed Tom hard.

"Tom, that was wonderful! Now, I want a snack too. Roll over so I can suck your dick," Molly said. "After I get your big cock hard, I'm going to fuck you again."

Tom and Molly made love again. They switched positions several times before they reached mutual orgasms. Tom held Molly in his arms and kissed her as they recouped. When his penis was hard enough, they made love again.

"Do you know how much I love you, Tom?" Molly whispered as she cuddled against him.

"I love you too, Babe."

"Will you hold me while we fall asleep?"

"I'll hold you as long as you want me too," Tom said as they whispered to each other.

"Forever?" Molly said.

"Forever, Babe," Tom replied.

Tom and Molly spooned together. She pulled one of his hands to her breast, holding it against her. As they drifted to sleep, they could hear the sounds coming from across the hall in Jack's room.

"Gee, I wonder what's going on over there," Molly said.

"I don't know, but it sounds like they're having fun," Tom said. "You can never tell what going to happen when my sister is involved. If Jack turns her lose, she'll wear him, Jenny, and Brad out."

Molly rolled in Tom's arms. She kissed him and then said, "You know I'd do that for you—don't you?"

"What?"

"Be like Sally," Molly said.

"Babe, I like things the way they're going between us."

"I do too, but if you tell me to do something, I'll do it for you," Molly said.

"I'll do anything you ask me to do, too," Tom said. "I want our relationship to be equal. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a wimp, but I don't want you to feel that I'm using you."

"Tom, do you love me?" Molly asked as she sat up.

"Yes, I love you a lot," Tom replied.

"If you love me, I'll never feel that you're using me. I love you and I trust you," Molly said softly. "Please try to understand that I NEED a strong guy in my life. I need you to be that man."

Tom smiled. He nodded his head. Pulling Molly's mouth to his, he kissed her. Tom moved Molly so she stretched out next to him again. They shared tender kisses, accenting each kiss with words of love. Molly rolled over, scooting her back against Tom's chest. He put his arm over Molly, gripping her breast firmly.

As Tom drifted asleep, he thought about what Molly said to him. He thought about Lisa, and to some degree Kim. Tom wondered if his laid back manner, and lack of assertiveness, led to the breakup with Lisa. Kim's explanation of why she wanted to move on made perfect sense to Tom. Lisa's decision to leave him for Megan still stung when he thought about it. Applying pressure to her breast, Tom decided that he wasn't going to lose Molly. If she needed an assertive man, he would be one for her.

Tom smiled. He decided he needed to talk to Jack and Sally.

Chapter 46


Sally left the bedroom. She walked across the hall to the room her brother and Molly spent the night in. Without knocking, Sally opened the door. She moved to the bed, gazed at Tom and Molly for a moment, and then jumped on the bed. Squirming between Tom and Molly, Sally began to giggle.

"Okay you two, time to get up," Sally said. She used both hands to shake Tom and Molly's shoulders.

"What the hell? What are you doing?" Molly said as she rolled onto her back and looked up at Sally.

"I'm waking you up. We have to get going. Jack told me to tell you guys that he wants to leave in an hour or less," Sally said. She grinned at Molly. "How was your night?"

Molly rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Sitting up, she said, "It was wonderful, Sally. Did you get any sleep? We heard a lot of noise coming from your room."

"Yeah, I got plenty of sleep. Jack and Brad couldn't keep up with two horny girls."

Molly and Sally giggled. Tom woke up, saw his sister, and asked what was going on. Sally told Tom it was time to get up.

"I'm going to go wake Kim up and then I'll get Kathy and Eddie up. You guys have to get ready," Sally said.

Sally left the room. She went to Kim's room and walked in. When she saw Kim and Paul screwing, she giggled. "Hurry up, Jack wants to get going," Sally said.

"We'll be up in a few minutes—just as soon as we're finished," Kim said as she looked around Paul.

Sally went to wake up Kathy and Eddie. She rapped on the door, opened it, and saw Kathy sitting up.

"We're awake, Sally. Eddie and I will be out in a few minutes," Kathy said.

"Okay, Jack, Brad, Jenny, and I are going for a quick swim. We'll be in the pool," Sally said.

On her way back to her room, Sally stopped to tell Kim and Tom about going for a swim. A few minutes later, everyone except Kim and Paul headed downstairs. As they approached the kitchen, they could smell something baking. Molly giggled and said, "I think my mom is here."

"Cool, I can't wait to find out what she made today," Jack said.

The troop of naked teens walked through the kitchen on their way to the pool. Joel laughed when he noticed that the teens were naked. Laura greeted the group, telling them that there were sweet rolls in the oven.

Molly stopped long enough to give her mom a hug. When she wrapped her arms around Joel's neck, he stiffened. Molly giggled and said, "What's the matter, Dad? Don't you want me to hug you?"

"Um, yeah, sure I do, but you're..." Joel began.

"Oops, I almost forgot—I'm nude." Molly giggled and hugged Joel. He laughed as he relaxed and hugged her back.

"You should have seen the look on your face," Laura said to Joel after the teens left the kitchen.

"It shocked me, Sweetie."

"I think you're going to have get used to the new Molly just like I am." Laura put her arms around Joel's neck and kissed him.

Nodding, Joel said, "Yeah, so it seems. I have to tell you, my heart swells every time Molly calls me Dad. I'm so happy she accepts me."

Laura sat on Joel's lap. She kissed him again, this time with more passion. "Molly loves you, Joel. I love you too."

Marge, Anne, Don, and Marc came into the kitchen. They gathered around the coffee maker, filling their cups.

"What smells so wonderful?" Don said as he walked toward the table.

"I have a batch of sweet rolls in the oven. Joel and I borrowed Sam's car and came over early so I could bake something for breakfast," Laura said as she slid off Joel's lap. "I'd better get started on breakfast. The kids need to eat before they leave this morning."

"Anne and I will help you, Laura," Marge said. She looked out at the pool and chuckled. "It looks like all the kids are up."

"We are now," Kim said. She and Paul walked into the kitchen. The adults chuckled when Paul and Kim sniffed the air. They said good morning, walked out to the pool, and jumped in the water with the rest of the group.

The teens swam for a few minutes before getting out of the pool to shower. The other parents showed up, along with Sam and Joanne, and poured coffee for themselves. They joined the rest of the adults at the kitchen table and began talking about their night. They told the others they were welcome to stay with them anytime they were in Michigan.

As the teens walked through the kitchen on their way to the bedrooms, they greeted their parents. They went upstairs to get dressed for the trip across the state to Grand Haven. Once they were dressed and the last of their things were packed, the teens headed for the kitchen. The adults got up from the table so the kids could sit down to eat.

Anne, Marge, and Laura placed the food on the table. The teens reached for the homemade sweet rolls before putting anything else on their plates. Laura chuckled, telling the kids there were more sweet rolls.

"Aren't these great?" Kim said to Paul. Paul nodded as he chewed his mouthful of buttered sweet roll. "Molly's mom bakes things for us all the time."

"You're going to get fat, Kim," Paul said with a chuckle.

"No I won't! I plan to exercise and swim so I can eat all of the yummy things Mrs. Durham makes," Kim said.

Don moved closer to the table. He cleared his throat, causing the din of conversation to fall off. "I want you kids to be careful. When you get to Grand Haven, call us. I want to hear from you at least twice a day," Don said.

"Don't worry, Dad. We'll be careful," Jack said.

"I believe that you will, Jack." Don moved closer to his son. "If I didn't say something, your mother would yell at me," Don whispered.

The other parents gave their children last minute instructions. The teens finished their breakfast and began to clear the table. When Laura said she'd take care of the dishes, Marge told her the teens would do it.

The teens gave their parents hugs. The entire group headed outside. The boys placed the luggage in the back of Tom's Expedition. Jack asked Brad to help him check the lights on the boat trailer while Tom inspected the hitch, safety chains, and electrical connection.

"We're ready," Jack announced. "I want to stop at the gas station for sodas, snacks, and stuff. Tom, you can drop Paul off and meet us there."

Jack, Sally, Brad, and Jenny got into Jack's pickup truck. Tom, Molly, Kim, Paul, Eddie, and Kathy climbed into Tom's truck. The teens waved out the windows as they headed out.

Tom drove to Paul's house. Paul said goodbye, got out, and walked toward the house. As Tom pulled away, Kathy said, "You didn't kiss Paul goodbye."

Kim shrugged her shoulders. "Paul and I are just friends—you know. Last night was fun, but it isn't as if we have anything other than sex between us," Kim said.

"Do you want to sit up front with Tom and me?" Molly said to Kim.

"No, I'm going to sit back here so I can seduce Eddie," Kim said with a giggle.

"Hey, what about me?" Kathy said and she giggled too.

Kim leaned over, gave Kathy a kiss on the cheek, and said, "Don't worry; I plan to seduce you too."

Kathy grinned. She put one of her hands on Kim's breast and said, "You don't have to seduce me, Kim. I'll go willingly."

"Do you think Eddie can take care of both of us?" Kim said. She put her hand between Eddie's legs, rubbing him.

Molly laughed. She looked over the seat at Kim and said, "Yes he can!" Everyone in the truck laughed.

Tom met Jack at the gas station. He and Eddie got out, putting ice in the cooler. They divided the sodas, bottled water, and snacks between the two vehicles. After a brief discussion about their route, Tom and Jack got into their trucks. Jack led while Tom followed closely behind him.

-------

"I hope the kids don't run into any trouble," Sarah said. The adults sat at the kitchen table eating their breakfast.

"They'll be fine, Honey," Jack Waters said trying to reassure his wife.

"I know, but I still worry about them. I never did anything like this when I was their age," Sarah replied.

"Our kids have opportunities we never had," Ellen said. "When I was a teenager, we didn't have money to do much of anything."

Marge laughed and said, "Neither did we. It's a good thing we discovered sex."

All of the adults laughed. Several of them made comments about when they were younger, and the things they did for fun.

After eating, the women cleared the table. The men offered to help, but their wives told them that they didn't have to. The men refilled their coffee cups and went to sit in the pool area.

"It'll be nice sitting outside drinking coffee in the winter," Marc said.

"No kidding. I'm looking forward to the move," Don said.

"What are you going to do with the property next to the house?" Jack Waters asked.

"We plan to build a house on it, Jack. Do you know Gayle Killian?" Don said.

"I sure do. She's one of the better architects I know of. I worked on several of the projects she designed," Jack replied. "Why?"

"She did some work for us on the Florida house. We're thinking of hiring her to design the new house," Don replied.

"I'm sure she'll do a good job for you," Jack said. "What style house are you thinking of building?"

"We want something that will go with the existing house. We may want to open the yards and create one large property with the two houses on it," Marc said. "I know we'll keep one of the boats there. The seawall is in good shape so we won't have to do too much work on it."

"Do the kids plan to take delivery of Tomiko when they get down to Florida?" Harry asked.

"Yes, that's one of the first things they want to do. I'm sure you'd like her out of your boatyard," Don said.

"The yacht isn't in my way now, but we do have a new hull that we'll need to launch soon," Harry said. "Jeri says that Tomiko is ready to go."

"Your kids are going to be busy. Between the yacht and fishing, they won't have much spare time," Jack said.

"That's fine with me. If they're busy, they won't have time to get into trouble. Not that we worry about then getting into trouble. Your kids are going to be just as busy as ours are going to be," Marc said.

Harry chuckled. "Too true, Marc."

The men began talking about what they planned to do that day. In the house, the women sat at the table drinking coffee.

"When are you two planning to move down?" Laura said to Marge and Anne.

"We haven't set a date yet, but Anne and I will move quickly. We don't want our kids down there without us," Marge said.

"If you'd like, Joel and I can stay at the house with them. I have to be there everyday anyway," Laura said.

"Thank you, Laura. We might take you up on your offer. That way Marge and I don't have to rush or worry," Anne said.

"You know I'd be more than happy to stay with them." Laura chuckled. "I'll bet that it wouldn't upset Molly if she had to stay too."

"I'm sure you're right, Laura. How are things going between Joel and Molly?" Marge said.

"If you ask me, they couldn't be better. This morning, she gave him a hug and called Joel Dad. I thought he would faint," Laura said with a chuckle.

"Doesn't Joel want Molly to call him Dad?" Joanne said.

"Yes, he loves it that she calls him Dad. I think the fact she was as naked as a jaybird when Molly hugged him was what shocked Joel," Laura said. "I can't tell you how much better things are for Molly. Since she started hanging around with your kids, she has changed for the better. I don't remember the last time I saw her so happy."

"Friends will do that, Laura. Molly has found something she's interested in doing," Anne said.

Nodding, Laura smiled. "You folks have given me the opportunity to do something I love too. I guess many people think that doing domestic work is degrading, but I don't."

"I don't think any of us feel it's degrading, Laura. We're very happy to have you helping us," Marge said.

"We sure do, and we enjoy the benefit of your wonderful baking too," Anne said.

"If you don't mind, can I ask why you do it? I mean help people the way you do. You guys manage to help people like Laura, Bob, and I fulfill our dreams," Joanne said.

Marge smiled and said, "Because we can, Jo. You all know our story. When Don discovered we'd won the lottery, the first thing he did was call Anne and Marc. There was never a moment that we didn't feel that the money was all ours. Don made it clear that, as family, we'd share it equally.

"Anne, Marc, Don, and I talked about our good fortune. We decided that while we would vastly improve our lifestyles, we'd also help others."

"You certainly do that. I'll never forget the night Don, and the rest of you, told the kids about the fishing team. Then, to top it off, I found out that the boat Eddie, Jenny, Brad, and Kathy helped design was for the team. I don't think a day goes by that one of our kids doesn't mention the team," Ellen said.

Marge and Anne smiled. Both of them felt a little embarrassed, but they endured the praise.

"We want the kids to have different opportunities than we did when we were their age," Marge said. She reached over, patting Joanne's stomach. "Now and in the future. What they choose to do with the opportunities is up to them."

"Molly was on the wrong path. Her ex boyfriend used her and got Molly involved in drinking and smoking. I don't know what would have happened if she hadn't met Eddie, Brad, Kathy, and Jenny," Laura said. "Now, she has Jack, Sally, Kim, and Tom as friends too."

"Tom and Molly are cute together, aren't they?" Anne said.

"They are beyond cute!" Laura said with a chuckle. "No offence to you and Ellen, Sarah, but I think Molly is much happier now than when she was with Eddie and Kathy."

"None taken. I think we both knew that relationship wouldn't last long," Sarah said. "I'm glad they all remained such close friends."

"Eddie and Kathy gave Molly the love she needed at the time. They helped her get past a very trying time," Laura said.

Don came out to the pool area. "We're ready to go. I want to show everyone the golf course and the subdivision," Don said.

The women went into the house with Don. They gathered their things and went outside. Don and Marc sat in the front seats of the new vehicle while the rest of the group got in back. Joanne and Sam waved goodbye as Don pulled away.

-------

Tom followed Jack into the parking lot at the motel. Jack told the others he wanted to check in before launching the boat. Jack and Tom went into the office, took care of registering and then went out to get the others. The teens carried their luggage to the four rooms.

"Who are you staying with, Kim?" Molly said.

"I'm sharing a room with Eddie and Kathy." Kim giggled and added, "At least for tonight."

The couples selected their rooms. Jack reserved four rooms, all of them adjoining. Jack and Sally were the first room, followed by Tom and Molly, Jenny and Brad, and finally Eddie and Kathy. Eddie and Kathy took the room with two beds on the opposite end from Jack and Sally.

Kim put her duffle bag on the floor of the room. "Which bed do you guys want?" Kim said to Kathy.

"It doesn't matter to us, Kim." Kathy flopped on one of the beds. "We'll take this one."

It only took the group a half hour to settle in. The teens opened the doors to the adjoining rooms, making it easy for them to move from one room to another. They left the motel to get lunch and then launch the boat.

Brad and Eddie helped Jack and Tom put the boat in the water. Jack parked his pickup in the lot and Molly took Tom's Expedition to the marina to meet the boat.

"We can go out if you'd like to," Jack said after securing the boat in a slip.

The girls stood on the pier, watching Eddie, Brad, Jack, and Tom getting the rods out and placing them in holders.

"It's up to you, Jack. What time is the evening bite?" Brad said.

"I don't know. We should take a walk and talk to some of the charter captains. They might tell us about the fishing," Jack said.

The group walked down Coho Pier. They stopped at one of the charter boats to talk to the captain. At first, the captain was reluctant to share information about the fishing, but after Jenny told them that they were up from Florida, the captain offered a few suggestions.

"I think we should go out," Kim said. "It doesn't feel too windy so the lake shouldn't be rough."

Returning to the boat, the group prepared to go fishing. Jack warmed the engines while Tom showed Brad and Eddie how to rig the rods. The girls tried to stay out of the way on the small boat. With nine of them onboard, it was cramped. Before casting off, Jack went over the boat. He told everyone where they stowed the lifejackets and fire extinguishers.

Kim and Sally cast off the lines. Jack pulled out of the slip into the Grand River. As he motored toward Lake Michigan, Jack pointed out a few of the things along the shoreline.

"This is nice," Jenny said as she stood next to Jack. "I didn't realize the Great Lakes were this big. It's almost like being on the ocean."

"Lake Michigan can get almost as rough as the ocean. Lake Superior can be just as rough. They get thirty foot seas up there," Jack said.

Jack pushed forward on the throttle when he pasted the pier heads. The charter captains told Jack the fish in shallow water and close to shore. Watching the depth finder, he found the depth he wanted. Jack slowed the boat to trolling speed and turned to the north.

Sliding out of his seat, Jack said, "Jenny, can you take over? Just keep her in about seventy-five feet of water. We troll at about two miles an hour."

Nodding, Jenny climbed into the seat. Jack went over the controls, telling her about each one. While Jenny knew what everything did, she listened. Jack went to the stern to help set the lines.

"We run two downriggers out to the sides. The other two we run straight down," Jack said as he showed Brad how to rig the lines in the downrigger releases. On the portside, Tom showed Eddie how to rig for salmon.

"You have to keep your thumb on the reel while lowering the cannonball. If you don't, the spool will over-run. Once the cannonball is down where you want it, flip the free-spool lever." Jack demonstrated as he told Brad what he was doing. "We put the rod in the holder before taking up the slack line. You have to be careful or you'll pull the line out of the release."

After setting the outboard rod, Jack moved so Brad could set the other rod. He watched, giving Brad pointers. Once both of the starboard rods were set, Jack took another rod out of a holder. He showed Brad the device on the line, explaining how the weighted diver would take the line down and away from the boat. Brad set the Dipsy-Diver rod, letting out one hundred fifty feet of line.

"We're set," Jack told Tom.

"So are we. Now all we have to do is wait for the fish," Tom replied.

"This is the first time I've been on a boat this small," Molly said.

"You're okay, aren't you?" Sally said.

"Yeah, I'm fine. This boat is cozy," Molly replied.

Pointing down at the cuddy cabin, Sally said, "If you think standing our here is cozy, you should try sleeping in the cabin. Jack, Tom, Kim, and I spent a night in there during a storm last year."

"I'll bet that was fun," Kathy said.

"It was before any of us started fooling around. We just slept," Sally replied.

One of the downrigger rods sprang up. Tom spotted it and said, "Fish on!" Eddie grabbed the rod.

"Pull the rod tip up and start reeling. It's just like catching a wahoo or a dolphin," Tom said.

Eddie fought the fish while the others watched. When he reeled it close to the transom, Tom netted the small Coho salmon. After removing the lure from the fish, Eddie held it up. Tom cleaned his hands, grabbed his camera, and took a few pictures.

"That was fun. It didn't fight too hard, but for its size that salmon is tough," Eddie said.

Jenny held her course. A few minutes later, a rod on the starboard side went off. Brad fought the fish until Jack could net it. Tom took pictures of Brad and the ten-pound salmon.

"Maybe we'll get into the kings. They fight harder," Tom said.

"Jen, why don't you head out? We'll try fishing in a hundred feet of water," Jack said.

While trolling, Jack and Tom showed Brad and Eddie how to adjust the depth of the downriggers. They changed the lures, trying to find a color the fish wanted.

"The more I think about it, the more I think that we can use downriggers in Florida," Eddie said. "I've read a few articles about using them in saltwater, but I didn't think they would be useful. Now I do."

"It makes sense to me too. When we fish, we try to entice the fish to the surface. With the downriggers, we can put our baits where the fish are," Brad said.

The rod in the starboard downrigger went off. Tom grabbed the rod, set the hook, and called for Kathy. She came over to fight the fish. The fish made a few good runs before it came up close to the surface. When the salmon jumped, Kathy let out a squeal.

"Did you see that?" Kathy said as she cranked on the reel. "I didn't know that salmon jumped."

"That looks like a king, Kathy. Keep pressure on it," Jack said. He took the net out of the holder so he'd be ready to land the fish.

Kathy reeled the fish close to the transom. Jack leaned over with the net, waiting for the fish to be close enough for him to scoop it up. Eddie stood behind Kathy, encouraging her.

"Fish on," Tom yelled as he grabbed the portside Dipsy rod. "Here you go, Molly, give it hell."

Giggling, Molly took the rod from Tom. He moved back so Molly could fight the fish. Placing his hands on Molly's hips, Tom coached her.

"That's it, Sweetie, keep the rod tip up and reel," Tom said.

Jack netted Kathy's fish. He removed the hook and handed the king salmon to Kathy so Tom could take her picture. Tom told Molly he'd be right back. He grabbed his camera and took several shots of Kathy and her fish.

"How are you doing?" Tom said to Molly. She turned to look at him and he took a picture of Molly.

"I'm fine," Molly replied. She turned her attention back to the fish and continued to reel in line.

While Molly fought her fish, Eddie reset the rod Kathy caught her fish on. Kathy went to the helm to relieve Jenny.

"You're up next, Jen. I'll take over for you if you want," Kathy said.

"I'll drive so you guys can fish," Sally said. "I've caught salmon before.'

Jenny slipped out of the seat and Sally sat down. She took over, steering the boat on the same course. Jenny went to the stern and stood next to Brad.

"I can't get over how different this is from the ocean. It smells so fresh," Jenny said.

"The size of the lake amazes me, Hun," Brad replied. "I never thought that you could be on a freshwater lake and not see land."

Molly's fish made a few jumps and several long runs before she was able to bring it close enough for Tom to net. Tom brought the fish onboard, removed the hook, and helped Molly hold the twenty pound king salmon. He took several pictures before Jack put the fish in the cooler.

"Let's raise the two outboard downriggers and change to green lures. We can try to catch a steelhead too," Tom said.

Jack and Tom watched as Brad and Eddie changed the lures on the two rods and reset them. Jack suggested they set the downriggers for fifteen and twenty feet.

"The steelheads usually feed closer to the surface," Jack explained.

About twenty minutes later, one of the shallow running rods went off. Jenny jumped for the rod, pulling it from the holder. She began reeling against the fish.

"I think we hooked a steelhead," Jack said. "They're very acrobatic. Steelies don't fight as hard as kings do, but they're fun to catch."

The fish came out of the water, making several jumps. Jenny giggled as she tried to keep the line from going slack. The fight only lasted ten minutes, but Jenny loved every moment of it.

"These are so pretty," Jenny said as she posed with the steelhead. "It was fun to catch too!"

Brad placed the steelhead in the cooler. He gave Jenny a hug, telling her she did well.

"What do you think? Do you guys want to keep fishing or head in?" Jack said.

"Why don't we go in and get something to eat?" Brad said.

The group agreed that it was time to head in. Brad, Eddie, Tom, and Jack reeled in the lines and put the tackle away. Eddie took the helm, heading for the waypoint they'd programmed before leaving the mouth of the river.

Kim, Kathy, and Sally went below. They sat on the small bunk, talking about the trip so far. Tom sat on the cooler with Molly on his lap.

"Did you have fun?" Tom asked Molly. She giggled and nodded. Twisting around, Molly gave Tom a kiss.

Eddie maneuvered the boat into the slip. Jack and Brad tended to the lines, securing the boat to the pilings.

"You did a great job of docking. I didn't know you could handle a single screw that well," Jack said to Eddie causing both of them to chuckle.

"When Dad taught Jenny and me to operate our boat, he made us bring her in and dock on one engine. It's different, but not too hard once you get the hang of it," Eddie said.

The guys covered the boat while the girls waited on the pier with the cooler of fish. The group walked to the fish cleaning station so the boys could clean the fish before they headed to the motel.

"What are we going to do with the fish?" Brad said.

"The motel should have a freezer we can use. Most of the motels and cottages have freezers for the fishermen," Jack said. "Fishing is a big part of the draw for these ports."

"I can see why. Salmon fishing is a blast," Eddie said. "There are a lot of charter boats here. I wonder how they do."

"I don't know about this port, but where we stayed last summer the charter boats did well. Tom and I talked to a few of the captains. They told us that during the summer, they're booked almost everyday," Jack said.

Jack and Tom started filleting the fish. Eddie and Brad watched and then jumped in to help. "You fillet them the same way as any other fish," Jack said. "The salmon are easier than the dolphin and wahoo because they're smaller."

It only took a few minutes for the four boys to clean and package the fish. While they worked, the girls stood back watching them. A charter captain came to the cleaning station pulling a cooler behind him. He moved to the stainless steel table, pulled out several of his fish, and placed them on the surface.

"How did you boys do today?" the captain said. His clients moved closer to watch him clean his fish.

"Not too bad for the first time at this port," Tom said. "Thanks for the tips."

"No problem. There are a lot of fish out there. If you come back later this summer, you'll catch the big ones," the captain said.

"We'll be in Florida. We're moving down there after this trip." Jack used his knife to point to Brad and Eddie. "Our friends are up here for a few days. We wanted to show them how we fish on the Great Lakes," Jack said.

"How did you boys like it?"

"It's great. We fish in Florida, but this is different," Eddie said.

"What do you fish for down there?" the captain said as he made short work of the fish in front of him.

"We fish for dolphin, wahoo, sails, and marlin," Brad said.

"I always wanted to give off shore fishing a try. My wife and I have talked about making a trip to Florida one of these days. Can you recommend a good charter?" the captain said. He skinned the filet, dropping the meat into a plastic bag his client held open.

"There are a lot of good charter captains in our area. We live in South Florida on the Atlantic. If you decide to go down you can look us up. We'll take you out," Eddie said.

Jack, Tom, and Brad nodded.

The captain finished cleaning his catch. He washed his hands, reached for his wallet, and pulled out a couple business cards. "Here's my card. If you give me your phone number, I may take you up on your offer."

Jack took one of the cards while Eddie took the other. Eddie asked Kathy for a pen so he could put the information on the back of the card.

"I'm Buzz Hammond," the captain said as he began shaking hands with the boys. Jack, Tom, Brad, and Eddie introduced themselves.

"Those beautiful girls are the other half of our group," Tom said as he pointed.

Buzz smiled as he nodded.

Finished with the fish cleaning, the boys went out of the station. They stood with the girls while Buzz finished talking with his clients. After the two men left with their filets, Buzz went over to meet the girls.

"We invited Buzz to fish with us if he ever gets down to Florida," Jack told the girls.

"We know, we were listening to you guys talk," Jenny said. She turned to Buzz and smiled. "We'd love to have you. We enjoy taking people out on the boat."

"Are you kids in a hurry? I'd like to buy you a soda and we can talk if you're not," Buzz said.

"We have time," Kim said.

"I'll meet you over there." Buzz pointed at a small shop with picnic tables in front of it. "I have to take the cooler to my boat and get my first mate."

Brad and Tom took their cooler to the boat while Buzz went to his boat. The rest of the teens went to the picnic tables to wait.

A few minutes later, Buzz walked up. Next to him was a woman. "This is my first mate and my wife, Vicky," Buzz said.

The group chatted for a moment. The teens introduced themselves to Vicky. Buzz asked everyone what they'd like to drink. Tom and Eddie went to the counter and helped Buzz carry the drinks to the table.

"How long have you been chartering?" Sally asked.

"I've been fishing most of my life. My dad used to run the boat and I was his mate. Last year he decided he'd had enough. Now Vicky and I are running the charters," Buzz said.

"Do you like fishing?" Molly asked Vicky.

"I love fishing, but we don't get much of a chance to go for fun. When we have clients on the boat, we have to take care of them," Vicky replied.

"If you come down to Florida, you'll be able to fish instead of working," Kim said. "How long have you and Buzz been married?"

"I met Vicky on a charter. She and her parents went out with my dad and me three years ago. After the charter, I asked her out. We've been together ever since. As it turned out, Vicky and I live in the same city, Grand Rapids," Buzz said. "We were married last fall."

"We wanted to get married sooner, but we couldn't because of fishing," Vicky added.

"Can you make a living chartering around here?" Brad asked.

"No, we have other jobs too. Normally, we fish on the weekends and work during the week," Buzz said. "The charters pay for the boat and other expenses. We make a few bucks, but not enough to live on. When we start having children, we'll probably stop chartering."

"How long have you guys been fishing?" Vicky said.

The teens took turns telling Buzz and Vicky about how they met and the things that happened since they did. Buzz chuckled as the listened, noticing the excitement and passion in their voices.

"So, you guys fish in money tournaments too?" Vicky said.

"Yes, we also fish in our club's tournaments. Those are for fun and bragging rights," Jenny said. "We started a youth division and we're getting kids our age interested in the sport."

"Are you going out in the morning?" Buzz asked.

"Yes, we plan to fish the morning and the evening bite tomorrow. We're only here for a few days," Tom said.

"If we get a charter, you kids can follow us. I'll show you some of the better places to fish," Buzz said.

"Thanks, that would be great," Brad said.

"Did you guys fish in the pack today?" Vicky said.

"No, we normally don't follow other boats. We've found that we do better if we find our own fish and run our own program. Fishing in a pack of other boats can be trying at best," Eddie said.

"That's true. We usually have the weekenders following the charter boats out here, but they end up breaking off and forming a pack after they catch a fish or two. Then we head out and fish the areas we know," Buzz said. "It seems that we always have a few followers though."

"What kind of boat do you have?" Vicky asked.

"Our boat, Lady Guinevere, is a custom boat. My dad owns a company that builds yachts and he built it," Eddie said.

Sally pulled a small photo album from her purse. She got up, stood between Buzz and Vicky, and put the album on the table. "These are pictures of the boat and some of the fish we've caught."

Buzz opened the album, stared at the first picture, and then looked up. "How big is she?"

"She's seventy-five feet," Jenny said.

"Damn, that's a beautiful boat," Buzz said. He and Vicky began looking at the pictures, making comments about most of them.

"How often do you catch fish this size?" Vicky said as she pointed at a picture of Molly standing next to a mid-sized sailfish.

"We catch a lot of them. That one isn't very big, but it's Molly's first sailfish," Sally said. "Normally, we tag and release them without taking them out of the water. We keep the dolphin and wahoo because they're so good to eat."

Vicky turned the page. "That's a dolphin," Sally said.

Vicky chuckled and said, "I thought you were talking about dolphins, you know, like Flipper."

"No, that's a fish. They call them different things. Some of the other names are Mahi-Mahi, dorado, and dolphin-fish," Sally said.

When Vicky saw a picture of the boat's interior, she said, "This is nicer than our house!"

"She has five staterooms, and a crew's quarters that sleeps three or four," Kim said.

"I'd like to go to Florida just to see this boat," Buzz said with a chuckle.

Brad, Eddie, Jack, and Tom began listing the boat's electronics and power plants. Buzz and Vicky shook their heads as they listened.

"We get a yacht in here once in a while, but not very often," Vicky said. She put her hand on Buzz's arm. "Hun, we should get the boat cleaned and ready for the morning."

Buzz nodded and stood up. He and Vicky told the teens that they would see them in the morning. The teens thanked them for the sodas and waved as they walked to their boat.

"We should get cleaned up and eat. I'm starved," Eddie said.

"So what's new? You're always starved," Jenny said as she giggled at her brother.

The teens left the marina and drove to the motel. Jack asked the woman in the office about a freezer where he could put the fish. The woman told Jack the freezer was around back next to the laundry room. Jack and Sally took the fish to the room, storing the packages in the large chest freezer.

Jack and Sally went to their room. They walked through the door into Tom and Molly's room to see what they wanted to do. A few moments later, the entire group gathered in the same room.

"I think we should try to get to bed early tonight. It's been a long day and we'll want to get up early in the morning to go fishing," Jack said.

"Do we have time to shower and change?" Kim said.

"Sure, we'll head out in an hour if everyone thinks that's okay," Jack said.

The teens agreed that an hour would be plenty of time to get ready. They went to their rooms to begin getting ready.

As soon as they were alone, Tom wrapped his arms around Molly. They hugged and then Tom kissed her. Pulling back, he looked into Molly's eyes and smiled. "Are you having a good time?" Tom asked. He moved his hands to the hem of Molly's sweater. Molly giggled, raising her arms so Tom could take her sweater off.

"I'm having a blast, Sweetie," Molly said as she took the sweater from Tom and folded it.

"Good, so am I." Tom unfastened Molly's bra. He pulled it off her arms, leaned over and gave each of her breasts a kiss. "Did you like fishing on Lake Michigan?"

"Yes, I can't get over how clean it smells compared to the ocean." Molly smiled. She reached for Tom's belt buckle and began undoing it. "Should we close the doors to the other rooms?"

"If you want to you can."

Molly shrugged her shoulders as she unzipped Tom's jeans. Tom unsnapped Molly's jeans and pulled the zipper down. They chuckled and traded kisses as they undressed one another. Naked, Tom pulled Molly into a hug. They held each other and kissed.

"Let's get our shower," Tom said.

Molly giggled and let go of Tom's neck. When she turned toward the bathroom, Tom gave Molly a playful smack on her butt. She giggled again as she wiggled her bottom at Tom.

Kim, Eddie, and Kathy milled around their room. "Do you want me to go outside for a little while?" Kim said.

Eddie glanced at Kathy. She winked at him and shook her head. Eddie went over to Kim, placing his hands on her hips. "Why don't you join us in the shower?" Eddie said as he pulled Kim's sweatshirt up.

Kim giggled and lifted her arms. Eddie removed her sweatshirt, tossing it on the bed. Kathy moved behind Kim. She unhooked Kim's bra, holding the straps in her hand. "I wouldn't let Eddie see your boobs unless he kisses you," Kathy said.

Stretching up, Kim gave Eddie a chaste kiss. He smiled at Kim, pulled her closer, and kissed her hard. Kathy giggled as she released Kim's bra. Naked from the waist up, Kim turned to Kathy. She removed Kathy's sweater and stood smiling at her.

Eddie said, "Hey, I don't think Kim should see your boobs unless she gives you a kiss, Kathy."

Kim and Kathy laughed. They kissed each other briefly and then Kim removed Kathy's bra. The two girls turned to Eddie. They moved in and began undressing him. Eddie chuckled and helped as much as he could. Once the three of them were naked, they went into the bathroom. Kathy and Kim climbed into the tub while Eddie adjusted the water. He turned on the spray and joined the two giggling girls. Eddie, Kathy, and Kim took turns washing each other.

"So, what did you think about fishing this afternoon?" Kim said. She stood between Kathy and Eddie as Eddie washed her back.

"It was great, Kim. I'm anxious to go again in the morning," Eddie replied. "I'm interested to find out if the downriggers will work in Florida too."

"Sometimes I don't understand you, Eddie. Here you are in the shower with two naked girls and you're talking about fishing," Kathy said with a giggle.

"What's wrong with that?" Eddie said. He finished washing Kim's back, turning her so she could rinse.

Facing Eddie, Kim giggled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. I think it's great that we can do this without having it turn into something sexual. You guys are the best friends I've ever known."

"I known, I was just teasing Eddie," Kathy said. The three teens finished showering. They turned off the water and got out of the tub to dry themselves.

While they dried themselves, Sally came into Eddie, Kathy, and Kim's room. She walked into the bathroom, rubbing her hair with a towel.

"Hey, I talked to Jenny and Molly, we decided that we're wearing jeans and sweaters tonight," Sally said.

"Okay, that sounds good to me," Kathy replied. Kim nodded, agreeing to the decision to wear jeans.

"What is it with girls? Do you always have to have a meeting to decide what to wear?" Eddie said after Sally left.

"No, but we do. I wouldn't want to be the only one wearing a skirt if everyone else wore jeans," Kim said.

Eddie laughed and said, "Maybe I should go see what the other guys are wearing."

Kathy snapped her towel at Eddie. He jumped to miss the towel and bumped against Kim. The three of them laughed as they finished in the bathroom. Eddie left the bathroom while Kim and Kathy fixed their hair.

The teens moved between the rooms without regard to how anyone was dressed—or undressed. Once everyone was ready, they left for the restaurant. Tom followed Jack to a family style restaurant on the main road in town.

The server pushed a few tables together so all the teens could sit as a group. They looked over the menu, making their selections. Two servers took their orders and then left the tables.

"I just read an interesting article in a fishing magazine," Sally said. "It talks about fish mortality when you release them. The article said that the longer you fight a fish, the less likely it is to survive after you release it."

"That makes sense," Jenny said.

"Yeah, the article also said that you should use as heavy test line as you can. That way you don't have to tire the fish as much to tire and release it," Sally said.

"What are you getting at?" Brad asked Sally.

"I was thinking that we should see about changing the club rules so we can use heavier line. The article said that most of the bigger money tournaments are changing their rules to the IGFA rules," Sally said.

"What's the IGFA?" Molly said.

"It's the International Game Fish Association. They're trying to protect sport fishing. Several fish biologists wrote the article. I think we should bring this up at our next meeting," Sally said.

"I do to, Sally. We should do anything we can to protect the fishery. What weight line do they recommend?" Jack said. He placed his hand on Sally's leg, patting her thigh.

"The article said there are different test weights for different species. There's a web address for the IGFA website. We can get the rules there. From what I read, most of the fish we fish for are in the eighty and one hundred thirty pound line class," Sally said.

"We would have to get bigger rods and reels for the one thirty. We can use what we have for the eighty pound line," Eddie said.

"I think we should bring it up at the meeting too. It makes sense when you think about it," Kim said.

The servers came to the table with the food. While they ate, the teens continued to discuss the idea of having the club change the rules. None of them thought it was a bad idea.

After dinner, the group returned to the motel. The teens went to their rooms to change out of their jeans and get comfortable. They crowed into Tom and Molly's room so all of them could talk about the idea together. Sally brought out the magazine to show the others the article.

"When we get back home, I'll download the rules so we can review them on the way down to Florida," Sally said.

"We should call Andy Nester to see about getting the new rods and reels we need," Brad said.

"I think we should try to get one of the line manufactures to sponsor us too," Kathy said.

"We can never have too many sponsors, can we?" Kim said.

"Not as long as they don't start telling us how to fish," Tom said. "I wouldn't want to have to do things we don't want to do because a sponsor wants us to."

"Didn't Andy Nester tell us we had to fish in the tournaments Shimano wanted us to fish?" Molly said.

"We have to fish in some of the tournaments, but we get to decide which ones. It was part of the agreement," Jenny said. "Mr. Graham made sure of that."

"I still have a hard time with the fact that Mr. Graham and Mr. Lewis had us help design a boat for us. Then our dads helped form the fishing team. I think we're very lucky," Eddie said.

"Our dads can surprise you," Kim said.

"I think we're all very fortunate to have the parents we have. They let us do things that most kids our ages wouldn't be allowed to do. I know my mom would have never let me take a trip with my ex boyfriend," Molly said. She hugged Tom's arm to her chest and giggled.

"We are lucky, but if we screw up, it'll all be over. Our parents let us do things because we act responsibly. If we were to start drinking, using drugs, or getting into trouble, it would end in the blink of an eye," Brad said.

"I've done those things and this is way better. Now I have fun without feeling guilty or disappointing my mom. I can't imagine where I'd be if I hadn't met you guys." Molly giggled. "I still remember how I thought you guys were lame because you wouldn't let Penny or me stay on the boat if we lied to our parents. Now I know why."

"How are Penny and Walt?" Sally said.

"They're doing great. I haven't seen them for a week or so, but I've talked to Penny on the phone," Molly said.

"We should invite them to go fishing with us when we get down to Florida," Tom said. "It would be nice to see them again."

"I was thinking about our schedule. If we leave here on Tuesday like we plan to, we might not get back to Florida in time for our meeting on Thursday," Sally said.

"You're right, Sweetheart. When we planned the trip, we thought that we would be flying back. Maybe we should take off on Monday morning so we can leave for Florida on Tuesday morning. If we drive straight through, we'll be home sometime Wednesday morning," Jack said.

"We'd be back on Thursday if we left here on Tuesday, but it doesn't give us much time to rest before the meeting," Kathy said.

"So, should we leave on Monday then?" Tom said.

The teens talked about their schedule for a few moments. In the end, they decided that it would be wise to leave on Monday morning.

Sally called home, letting their parents know they were having fun. Anne told Sally that she felt it was wise to come home a day earlier. Sally told her mom about meeting Buzz and Vicky, and that they invited the couple to come down to Florida to fish. Anne cautioned Sally, telling her to be careful who they befriended. "We know, Mom. Buzz and Vicky are nice people," Sally assured her mom. They chatted for a few minutes before hanging up.

"We should get to bed. I'd like to get out at sunup tomorrow," Jack said.

Everyone said goodnight. They left for their rooms, agreeing to get up at five o'clock in the morning.

Lying in bed, Tom and Molly snuggled together. They began kissing each other and stroking their hands over one another's bodies. Molly sat up, removed her tee shirt, skinned out of her panties, and then stretched out next to Tom.

"I wish we could stay here longer," Molly said. She kissed Tom's chin as she ran her hand over his chest and down to his boxers. Tom lifted his body so Molly could push his underwear down his legs. He kicked them off, leaving the boxers at the foot of the bed.

"Why?" Tom said.

"Because I like sleeping with you and waking up in your arms."

"We'll be able to do this in Florida too, Sweetie," Tom said. "Maybe we can convince our parents to let you stay over with me once in a while."

Molly giggled and said, "That would be so cool! Maybe my mom would let you stay at our house too."

Tom wrapped his arms around Molly. He shifted, rolling onto his back and pulling Molly on top of him. She nuzzled his neck, cooing softly as she kissed him. Tom rubbed Molly's back, dropping his hand to her butt. He gently kneaded her cheek, kissed her, and said, "Goodnight, Sweetie."

"Tom, I love you," Molly said.

"I love you too, Baby."

Molly wiggled against Tom's erection. "Don't you want to make love?"

"Yes, but it's been a long day and I'm tired." Tom put one of his hands on the back of Molly's head. He found her lips with his, and gave her a kiss. "I'd rather just cuddle tonight. We can make love in the morning after we've rested."

Nodding, Molly said, "Do you promise?" She giggled and wiggle against his hardon again.

"You better believe it!" Tom said.

"Okay," Molly said.

Tom and Molly shifted again. He spooned against her back, reached over her side, and covered one of her breasts with his hand. Molly let out a soft moan as Tom's fingers moved against her breast. Molly hugged Tom's arm to her body. Sighing, she wondered why he didn't want to have sex with her.

Kim started to get into bed in the room she shared with Kathy and Eddie. She folded her pillow, resting her head on it while watching Kathy and Eddie getting ready for bed. Eddie glanced at Kim, smiling when he noticed her watching him.

"You're welcome to sleep with us," Eddie said.

"Thanks, but I'll stay here tonight. If you two are going to fool around, try to be quiet. I need my sleep," Kim said with a giggle.

Kathy grinned and said, "I can't be quiet when Eddie is fucking me."

Kim giggled again. She took the other pillow and put it against her ear. "Okay, this should help."

Eddie moved between the two beds. Leaning over, he gave Kim a kiss on the forehead. She smiled, removed the pillow, and said, "Goodnight. Thanks for letting me sleep in here tonight."

Kathy and Eddie got into bed. He shut off the lamp between the beds, said goodnight to Kim, and took Kathy in his arms. They kissed each other for a few minutes before moving into a comfortable position. "Night, Kim," Kathy said.

-------

The alarms went off at five the next morning. Tom slapped the clock, searching for the snooze button. Molly let out a groan, rolled over, and hugged her pillow. A half hour later, Sally came into their room to wake Tom and Molly.

"Are you guys going fishing this morning?" Sally said as she shook her brother's shoulder. "It's five thirty."

Tom woke up, rubbed his eyes, and then stretched. "Yeah, we're going. I must have turned the alarm off when I tried to find the snooze button." Tom leaned over and gave Molly a kiss on her cheek. He rubbed her side, moving his hand to her hip so he could gently shake her. "Wake up, Baby. It's time to go fishing."

Molly sat up. She looked at the clock and then at Tom. "We overslept, didn't we?" Molly said.

"We did. I think I shut the alarm off by mistake," Tom replied.

Tom and Molly took turns in the bathroom. They decided that they would shower after fishing. After dressing, Tom and Molly went to Jack and Sally's room. A few minutes later, the rest of the teens joined them.

The group got to the marina at ten to six. Jack and Brad headed for the boat to get it ready to leave. Jenny and Sally went to the restaurant to get coffee for everyone. They found Buzz and Vicky sitting at one of the tables.

"Good morning. I'm sorry, but I've forgotten your names," Buzz said.

"I'm Jenny and this is Sally. Good morning," Jenny said. "Are you going out this morning?"

"We're waiting for our clients to get here. They called to tell us they were running late," Vicky said.

"I'm going the get our friends. We can have something to eat," Sally said. She left the restaurant to get the others. Jenny asked the waitress to put a few tables together.

The rest of the teens came in. They all said hi to Buzz and Vicky and then sat down. Buzz and Vicky moved to the larger table.

"Yesterday, after you guys left, I couldn't help thinking that I'd see you before. Then I went through a few of my fishing magazines and found your picture and an article about you being the youngest team to win the Billfish Classic in the Bahamas," Buzz said.

The teens smiled as they nodded and acknowledged it was them in the article.

Vicky chuckled and said, "I'm surprised you didn't hear Buzz when he realized who you were. He started yelling for me to look at the magazine."

"Well it isn't everyday you get to meet someone that's been in a magazine," Buzz said. He pulled the folded magazine from his back pocket, placed it on the table, and opened it to the article. "I'm sure you get asked all the time, but would you guys autograph this for me?"

"Actually, you're the first person to ask for our autographs. We'd be happy to sign it for you," Jenny said.

One by one, the teens signed the magazine for Buzz. He thanked them and then said, "If you were serious about having Vicky and me fish with you in Florida, we'd like to take you up on your offer."

"Sure, you're welcome anytime we aren't fishing a tournament," Brad said.

Vicky smiled and said, "I think it's amazing how any of you can speak for the others."

"We're a team in more than fishing. The nine of us are best friends too," Jack said.

"Do you ever disagree?" Buzz asked.

"I can't remember any serious disagreements between us. If we want to do something, we talk about it and if most of us are for it, we all do it," Kathy said.

"When do you think you'll come down?" Kim said.

"I'm not sure. We have to think about a date," Buzz said. "Vicky and I talked about it last night. If it wasn't for the charter business, we'd head down this summer."

"Our vacations are in June. I want to go then. We didn't get to have much of a honeymoon and I think a week in Florida would be great," Vicky said.

The waitress served the teens their breakfast. While they ate, Vicky's cell phone rang. She talked on the phone for a few moments and then hung up.

"It looks like our charter fell through, Buzz. They aren't going to make it today," Vicky said.

Buzz nodded. "We should insist on deposits, Vic. This happens far too often. I'll check and see if there are any walk-ups this morning." Buzz stood up and left.

"I don't think we'll get a charter this morning. Most of the walk-up traffic is in July and August," Vicky said.

Buzz came back just as the teens finished eating. He sat down, took a sip of his cold coffee, and made a face. Buzz called the waitress by name, pointing at his cup when she looked over at the table.

"Well, they said they haven't had any requests this morning. There are five boats ahead of us on the list," Buzz said.

"Does this happen very often?" Molly asked.

"Too often if you ask me. When we have a reservation for a charter, we don't put our name on the list. Most of the captains require a deposit, but we don't always ask for one. At this time of the year, we usually end up sitting on the boat," Buzz said.

"Why don't you just go fishing for yourselves?" Sally asked.

Vicky smiled and said, "I have a better idea. Why don't I take you girls on our boat and Buzz can go out with the boys. We can teach you how we fish."

Buzz nodded. "That's a great idea. I think it would be fun. That is if you guys want to do it."

The teens traded glances. They talked about the idea for a moment and then agreed.

"Great, let's check your tackle and see if we need to take any of mine," Buzz said.

The group paid for breakfast and left. Buzz went to Jack's boat to check out the equipment. After looking through the assortment of lures, Buzz told the boys to follow him to his boat.

"You have almost everything we need, but there are a few things I want to take with us. We can't have the girls out fishing us now can we?" Buzz said.

"This is a nice boat," Eddie said as the guys walked up to Buzz's boat.

"She's a good boat for out on the lake. Vicky and I sleep on her when we're here for the weekends," Buzz said. He invited the teens onto his thirty-four foot boat.

Buzz pulled out one of his tackle boxes. He went through the lures, picking out the ones he wanted to take with him. While he looked in the box, Vicky showed the boys the boat.

"We're ready to go," Buzz said. "Vicky, we'll go out to the place we started yesterday. We'll follow you and the girls. Let's use channel seventy two on the radio today."

Vicky nodded. She gave Buzz a quick kiss and said, "Sounds good to me."

Buzz and the boys went to Jack's boat. They warmed the engine and then waited for Vicky to pull out of her slip. On the way down the river, Buzz told the boys what they would be doing. Once they passed the pier heads, Vicky and Jack took off at cruising speed. Jack stayed well back, making sure he didn't run in the larger boat's wake.

The run took twenty minutes. Buzz told Jack to slow down and turn north. Jack slowed his boat to trolling speed and began following Vicky and the girls. Tom, Eddie, Brad, and Buzz started rigging the rods and setting the lines.

Vicky set the autopilot. She moved out of the seat, asking one of the girls to watch while she rigged the lines. Kathy sat in the helmsman's seat, watching for traffic. Vicky began handing the rods to the other girls. She watched as Kim, Sally, Jenny, and Molly set the lines. "You guys know what you're doing," Vicky said with a smile.

"We are used to setting lines. On our boat, all of us do everything. Eddie insists that we're all comfortable in the cockpit," Kathy said from the helm.

After they set the lines, the girls sat back to watch the rods. "Okay, tell me about yourselves," Vicky said.

"Well, Eddie and I are brother and sister," Jenny began. She went on, telling Vicky about the brothers and sisters as well as who dated whom. When Jenny finished, Vicky laughed.

"That is quite a cozy relationship you guys have, isn't it?" Vicky said.

"It works for us," Molly said. "I'm the only one that isn't related to one of the team members."

"That may be true, but Molly is as much part of our families as any of us," Kim said. She put her arm around Molly's waist, pulling her to her side. "Tell us about you and Buzz."

"As we said yesterday, Buzz and I met on one of his charters. Buzz asked me out after learning that both of us lived in Grand Rapids. After our first date, I knew he was the man for me. Buzz and his father started taking me on the charters and I learned how to fish for salmon. We got married, Buzz's dad quit chartering, and now we do it," Vicky said.

"Do you mind if I ask how old you are?" Sally said.

Shaking her head, Vicky said, "I'm twenty, Buzz is twenty two. He got his captain's license last year. When we're not fishing, I work as a secretary. Buzz works for one of the trailer manufactures in Grand Rapids. He paints the semi trailers the company makes."

"Fish on!" Kim said. She jumped up, grabbed one of the rods, and began fighting the fish. Vicky watched for a moment and realized that Kim didn't need instructions. When the small Coho salmon came to the stern, Jenny netted the fish.

"You guys know what you're doing, don't you?" Vicky said again.

"We're learning," Molly said. "The guys are great when it comes to sharing the fun as well as the work."

Over the next few hours, the girls boated several fish. Vicky talked to Buzz on the radio, learning that the boys were doing well too. Between fish, the girls and Vicky continued to talk and get to know one another better. Vicky told the girls that Buzz's real name was Norman and hers was Victoria.

On Jack's boat, Buzz asked about the boat in Florida. Eddie and the other boys told him about the Lady Guinevere, repeating much of what they told Buzz the day before.

"Is there cheap motels around the area you live in? Vicky and I don't have a lot of money," Buzz said.

"I think so. We can find out and let you know," Eddie said.

One of the rods went off. Brad grabbed it and began fighting the fish. Buzz watched and held the net. After landing the salmon, Brad reset the line.

The two groups fished until one in the afternoon. When they returned to the marina, the guys cleaned the fish while the girls sat on Buzz's boat talking.

"How about some lunch?" Jack said. "My breakfast is long gone."

"You boys go ahead. Vicky and I have food on the boat," Buzz said.

"Come with us. It's our treat. You taught us a lot," Tom said.

Brad went to Buzz's boat to get the girls. Vicky protested, but between the girls and Brad, they talked her into going. The group went to the restaurant, waiting until the waitress pushed tables together.

"Well, it looks like we out fished you boys," Kim said. "We caught two more than you did."

"That's true, but we demand a rematch," Tom said.

"Sorry, you lose!" Sally told her brother.

"It doesn't matter, we had a great time," Eddie said. "This Great Lake fishery is wonderful. I've read about it, but being here is much better."

"It's been a long time since we were able to fish for fun. I had a great time this morning," Vicky said.

Buzz nodded. "These guys are good for being weekenders." Buzz chuckled. "I'm just kidding you know. I know you have a lot of experience. I had a great time fishing with you too."

"Wait until you come down to Florida. We use fish the size of the smaller Coho's for bait," Eddie said.

"I've read about how they rig for billfish. I can't fathom using a five or six pound fish for bait," Buzz said.

During lunch, the teens told Buzz and Vicky stories about some of their trips. Buzz asked questions about the tackle and different methods the teens used. When they finished eating, they went outside.

"We're going to clean the boat and then go to our motel. We'll see you guys later," Jack said.

"Okay, we'll be here. Vicky and I are going to put our name on the list for tomorrow. Maybe we'll get a charter," Buzz said.

The teens went to the boat. Jack and the other boys cleaned up and put the tackle away while the girls stood on the pier watching. The girls continued to razz the boys about catching more fish than they did. Once they finished, the teens headed for the motel to shower and relax.

-------

"Those kids are nice, aren't they?" Vicky said to her husband as they put the tackle away.

"Yes, they're all very nice," Buzz replied.

"Honey, I would love to go to Florida and fish with them. Do you think we can do it someday—someday soon?"

"I want to go too, Vic. We'll figure out a way to go this summer. Missing one week of fishing isn't going to make or break us. If Dad wants to, he can take the charters that week. You know that deep sea fishing has always been one of my dreams," Buzz said.

"Is it me, or do they seem mature for their age?" Vicky said.

"They're very mature." Buzz chuckled. "When I was that age, I was a goofball. I was more interested in partying than I was in fishing. If my dad hadn't made me do it, I don't think I would have worked on this boat."

Vicky moved close to Buzz. She put her arms around his neck, pulled his head down, and gave him a kiss. "I'm glad your dad made you work the boat. I may have never met you if you didn't."

"Yeah, I am too. You know, those girls remind me of you in some ways. It isn't every girl that is as passionate about fishing as you are."

Vicky chuckled. "That's because the boys are a lot like you. They don't have egos that get in the way of the girls having fun and fishing. They told me that Eddie insists that all of them know as much as they can about fishing and the boat."

"Did you know that they date each other?" Buzz said.

"Yes, I got the run down on all of them. They're all brothers and sisters except Molly."

"The cute redhead?"

"Yeah, the cute redhead. She started fishing with Jenny, Kathy, Brad, and Eddie. Now she is dating Tom," Vicky said.

"Would your parents have let you go away with your boyfriend at that age?" Buzz said.

"Are you kidding? My parents didn't want me fishing with you when I was eighteen. If I would have asked to spend a few days with a boy at fifteen or sixteen, my parents would have locked me in my room and tossed the key," Vicky said. She moved one of her hands between Buzz's legs, massaging him. "If she thought I would have done this, she would have sent me away."

Buzz laughed and said, "I think your dad thought you were virgin on our wedding night."

"Thanks to you, I wasn't, was I?"

Buzz shook his head. "Maybe we should go below and make sure you aren't a virgin. You never know, it might have grown back."

Vicky laughed and said, "Since last night?"

"You can't tell. I think its best we make sure, Honey."

Vicky giggled. She moved below and climbed onto the V berth. Buzz closed the hatch and joined his wife on the bed. They began kissing and removing each other's clothing.

Vicky and Buzz made love for the next half hour. Once both of them felt sated, they stretched out next to each other, holding hands.

"Well, are you sure I'm not a virgin anymore?" Vicky said.

"I think so, but maybe we should do it once more," Buzz replied.

"You're a horny devil, aren't you?"

Buzz rolled onto his side. He moved one of his hands up Vicky's stomach to her breasts. Leaning over her, Buzz planted a kiss on her nipple. He moved her large breast around as he sucked her nipple. Vicky moaned and grabbed his head.

"You know what that does to me, Baby. I go nuts when you suck my nipples," Vicky cooed.

"That's good because I love playing with your big tits."

Vicky giggled. "I can still remember the first time you touched my boobs."

"You wouldn't let me touch you for a long time. I think we'd been dating for a month before you stopped pushing my hand away," Buzz said.

"I was scared, Baby. You're the first boy I let get that far."

"You're the first girl I touched."

"We've shared a lot of firsts, haven't we?" Vicky said.

"Yeah, and I wouldn't have it any other way. You're the light of my life, Vic." Buzz gave Vicky a kiss. "I'm going to talk to them later. If they're serious about taking us fishing, we're going. I wish we had enough money to make it a first class vacation, but I know we'll enjoy it anyway."

Vicky smiled. She reached for the blanket, pulling it over their bodies. Snuggling together, they fell asleep.

-------

The teens went to their rooms to clean up and rest for a while. While Brad and Jenny showered, Sally and Jack came into their room. Sally giggled, opened the shower curtain, and said, "Is there enough room for Jack and me in there?"

Jenny laughed at Sally and then she nodded. Sally climbed into the tub, followed by Jack.

"What's up?" Brad said.

"You're not!" Sally said. She giggled and wrapped her fingers around Brad's flaccid penis.

"He'll be up if you keep doing that, Sally," Jenny said.

Still giggling, Sally nodded. She picked up the soap and began washing Brad. "Why don't we fish on Monday morning and leave after lunch? That way, we'll still be home in time for our meeting," Sally said.

"That's a great idea. I'm having fun fishing up here in Michigan," Jenny said. She took the soap from Sally so she could wash Jack's back.

"Why don't we talk to the others and see how they feel about leaving then?" Brad said. "If everyone else agrees, we'll leave tomorrow after fishing the morning bite."

Jack, Sally, Brad, and Jenny finished in the shower. They dressed and went to talk to the rest of their group. Everyone agreed that they would leave after fishing the next morning.

"We're fishing this afternoon, aren't we?" Eddie said.

"Sure, we'll leave in a few minutes," Jack said.

Everyone got ready to leave. They drove to the marina and went toward the boat. When Sally saw Buzz and Vicky, she waved at them.

"Headed out?" Buzz said when the teens walked over to his boat.

"Yeah, we want to see if we can pick up a few," Tom said.

"Vicky and I have a charter. Our clients are in the restaurant getting coffee. You can follow us if you'd like. I have a good area for the afternoons at this time of year," Buzz said.

"Thanks, we'll do that. Can we talk to you on the radio?" Jack said.

Buzz nodded. Vicky moved next to her husband and put her arm around his waist. "Vic and I have been talking about your offer to take us fishing. We'd love to go if you guys would have us," Buzz said.

"Cool, when are you going to come down?" Sally said.

"When would be a good time?" Vicky asked.

"Anytime is okay with us. Isn't it?" Tom said as he glanced at his friends. Everyone nodded.

"We don't want to interfere with you tournament schedule," Buzz said.

"You won't interfere. If we have a tournament, you can fish with us," Kathy said.

"Just give us a call a few days before you come down. If you fly, we'll pick you up at the airport," Molly said.

"Buzz and I will start saving our money so we can go," Vicky said. She grinned as her arm tightened around her husband's waist.

"It won't cost too much once you get to Florida," Eddie said. "You guys can stay with us so you won't have to get a motel."

"Yeah, we have plenty of room," Jack said.

Vicky started to chuckle. When Kim asked her why she was laughing, Vicky said, "I can't get over how all of you speak as one. It's like you know what each other is thinking."

"We are one. We're a team," Brad said.

"It's why we're successful with our fishing and our friendships. We all know that bickering and arguments would get in the way of what we love doing, so we don't do it. All of us may not agree on one thing or another, but we operate as a democracy—majority rules," Eddie said.

"I think the world would be a better place if more people were able to think like you do," Buzz said.

"Our parents have taught us that it's easier to get along and have fun than it is to fight about stupid things. They tell us that we can work anything out if we talk to each other and leave our egos at the doorstep. The more we talk, the more we realize that we have many things in common," Kim said.

"We better get going. It looks like your clients are headed this way," Kathy said. "We'll see you this evening."

Buzz and Vicky nodded. The teens walked toward their boat while Buzz and Vicky met their charter clients.

On the lake, Tom followed Buzz as he motored south. Tom stayed back about a half mile so he wouldn't crowd Buzz. Vicky's voice came over the radio. She told Tom that they were dropping their lines in ninety feet of water and running the lures at ten-foot intervals.

Jack and Kathy set up the port side of the boat while Brad and Sally set up the starboard side. They lowered the cannonballs of the downriggers, setting them at the depth Vicky suggested.

Molly pointed toward Buzz's boat and said, "Look, I think they have a fish on."

Just as the rest of the group looked aft, one of the rods went off. For the next four hours, the teens fished behind Buzz and Vicky. They caught eight small king salmon, two Coho salmon, and a lake trout. They kept the salmon, but released the lake trout.

"The fish get bigger later in the summer, but these are nice," Jack said as he headed back to port.

Jenny stood next to Jack, watching forward. "Size doesn't matter," Jenny said and then she giggled. "They're still fun to catch." Jenny put her hand on Jack's leg. She moved her hand to his crotch and said, "The fish are fun to catch too."

Jack chuckled. "What is Brad going to say if he catches you?"

Jenny shrugged her shoulders. "Hey, Brad, Jack wants to know what you'll say if you catch me playing with his dick."

Before Brad could answer, Jack said, "Sally, play with Brad's cock so he won't yell at Jenny for playing with mine."

Sally giggled. She moved over to Brad and reached for his zipper. Everyone laughed as Sally pulled down the zipper of Brad's jeans and slipped her hand in the fly. Sally and Jenny goofed around for a few minutes before they moved away from Jack and Brad.

Jack, Eddie, Tom, and Brad took the fish to the cleaning station. They met Buzz there and thanked him for the tips on fishing. Buzz's charter clients watched the group clean the fish and bag the filets. Buzz and Vicky helped their clients pack their fish in a cooler. The four men thanked Buzz and Vicky and then they left.

"We're going to fish in the morning and then leave for home. We have to drive down to Florida and be there by Wednesday. We have a fishing club meeting on Thursday," Brad said. He and the other boys packed their fish in a cooler as they talked to Buzz and Vicky.

"We finished taking care of the boat," Kim said as she and the other girls walked up to the boys.

Buzz and Vicky said hi to the girls. "We're going to clean our boat and take off for home. Buzz and I have to be at work in the morning," Vicky said.

"Have you and Buzz decided when you're coming down?" Jenny said.

"Not yet, but I have a feeling it will be soon. Vicky is excited about taking a vacation. I am too," Buzz said.

"Just give us a call or send an email," Sally said.

"Don't worry, you can be sure you'll hear from us soon," Vicky said.

The group talked for another twenty minutes. They all said goodbye and Buzz assured the teens that he and Vicky would take them up on their generous offer to go fishing in Florida.

Buzz and Vicky went to their boat. The teens went to the parking lot, got into the trucks, and headed for the motel. They took showers, dressed, and went to dinner.

When Jack woke up the next morning, he went to the window and looked out. He let out a groan when he saw it was pouring rain. Sitting on the bed, Jack shook Sally's shoulder.

"Wake up, Sweetie. It looks like we're going to be heading home earlier than we planned. It's pouring rain," Jack said.

Sally sat up. She gave Jack a hug and said, "That's okay. I love you, Baby."

"I love you too. I guess that now we don't have to get going so early, we can find something else to do," Jack said. Sally grinned. "Give me a nice blowjob and then we'll get going."

Sally scrambled out of bed. She knelt on the floor between Jack's legs and wrapped her hand around his erection. Smiling up at Jack, Sally leaned over. She took Jack's penis in her mouth and began bobbing her head.

Jack leaned back, propping himself on his extended arms. He watched Sally, smiling at her aggressive actions.

"Um, do you know it's raining?" Tom said as he looked into Jack and Sally's room.

"Yeah, I noticed. I guess we'll go load the boat and head home," Jack replied and then he chuckled. "We'll be finished here in a few minutes."

Shaking his head, Tom went back to his room. When he told Molly what Sally was doing to Jack, she giggled. "Want me to do that to you?" Molly said. She moved closer to Tom and put her arms around him.

Tom grinned as he put his hands on Molly's shoulders. He applied pressure, causing Molly to sink to her knees.

The group of teens dressed and left the motel. They stopped for breakfast before going to load the boat on the trailer. By the time they loaded and secured the boat, they were soaked.

Back at the motel, they all took showers to warm up and then they put on dry clothing. Jack went to the office to check out.

At ten o'clock, the two vehicles pulled out of the lot and headed home.

Chapter 47


The rain continued the entire ride back to the house. Jack called his parents to tell them that he, and the others, they decided to head home early. Don told his son that he understood and that he felt the teens made the right choice.

Jack and Tom pulled into the driveway at three in the afternoon. They all went into the house to see their parents and tell them about the trip. Ellen and Marge fixed dinner while the teens related the fun they'd had and about meeting Buzz and Vicky.

"When do you think your new friends will go down to Florida?" Marc asked.

"We don't know, Dad. They're going to call us when they know," Sally said. "They're very nice people. Vicky took the girls on their boat and Buzz fished with the boys one day. We had a blast!"

"You kids should be careful. You don't know them from Adam," Laura said.

"They're nice, Mom. I don't think they're serial killers or anything like that," Molly said.

"Besides, there are more of us than there are them," Tom said with a chuckle.

"We have a change in plans, kids. You're flying back to Florida," Don said.

"Why aren't we taking the limo back?" Jack asked his dad.

"Your moms convinced me that it would be better if you fly. They didn't want to take a chance of an accident harming all of you kids. I agree with them," Don said.

"When are we flying down?" Brad said.

"Tomorrow afternoon. I booked the flights after you called to tell us you were on your way home. The transport company will be here in the morning to load the trucks and the boat. They took the limo yesterday. It should be there when you arrive," Marc said.

"Who all is going to Florida tomorrow?" Jenny said.

"Everyone except Marc, your dad, Mr. Waters, and I. We'll be down in a couple days. We have a few things to wrap up here before we can leave," Don said.

"Dad, don't forget that we're taking delivery of Tomiko when we get back. We want everyone there," Kim said.

"We can take care of that on Friday. We'll be down on Friday morning," Don said. He smiled at Kim. "You know you could take delivery with out me, don't you?"

"That's not going to happen! If it weren't for all of you, we wouldn't even have the yacht. We'll wait for you, Uncle Mark, and everyone else," Kim said.

"There are boxes in your rooms. We want you to pack your things so the moving company can load them on Thursday," Marge said.

"How much should we pack?" Jack asked his mom.

"Pack everything, Son. We've decided that we're going to sell this house. It just doesn't make sense to keep it. When Don and Marc have to come up here on business, they can stay with our friends," Marge replied.

"Do you have anyone interested in the house?" Tom asked.

"Not yet; we haven't placed it on the market. I don't think we'll have any trouble selling it though," Don said.

"So, that means we're moving to Florida for good, doesn't it?" Sally said.

"Yes it does. Is that a problem?" Anne asked her daughter.

"Heavens no! I want to live down there," Sally said and then she giggled. "This is the third time I've moved in just over a year."

"This will be the last for a long time, Sally," Marc said.

"I guess we should get started with our packing," Tom said.

The teens excused themselves. They went upstairs to begin packing the boxes they found in their rooms. Jenny, Eddie, Kathy, Brad, and Molly pitched in, helping their friends fold the clothing and place it in boxes.

"Don't forget to put aside clothes to take on the plane. The moving van will probably take a few days to get down to Florida," Eddie said.

"You're right. I better go tell Jack and Sally," Kathy said. She went across the hall to Jack and Sally's room. When Kathy relayed what Eddie said, Jack and Sally thanked her.

The teens used a large black marker to label each of the boxes. They stacked the boxes in their rooms, making sure there was room to move around without tripping. Four hours later, the group went downstairs to get cold drinks and rest.

"How are you kids doing with your packing?" Laura said. She and the rest of the adults sat in the family room.

"Great, I think we're almost finished," Tom said. "What are we doing with the furniture? It isn't very old."

"We're going to put it into storage for now. "We'll probably use it in the new house after it's finished," Don said.

"We should wash our dirty clothes and repack them," Kim said. "I want to put some of my things in the boxes to make room in my suitcase for a few of the clothes I want to take with me tomorrow."

"That sounds like a great idea, Kim. I'm going to do the same thing. We can wash Everyone's things while we're at it," Sally said.

Kim, Sally, Jenny, Kathy, and Molly went back upstairs. They gathered the dirty clothes, placing them in a basket.

"I'm going to go out to the pool for a few minutes," Jack said. He headed for the sliding doors. The other boys followed Jack out to the pool area.

The girls took care of the dirty laundry, putting a load in the washing machine and hand washing their underwear. While the washing machine ran, they went out to the pool.

Sally ran into the house, returning with her notebook computer. She placed it on a table, opened the lid, and turned it on. "I want to check my email and check out a few things," Sally said.

"We have email from Randy and Fran. They want to meet with us soon," Sally said. "They have the editing finished and need our approval."

"Are you sorry that ESPN decided not to do a series?" Jenny said.

"No, now we can pursue our own ideas. I still want to make the instructional videos. I also feel that we can make a series and find a network to pick it up. There are networks dedicated to outdoor shows," Sally said. "I have the contact information for a couple of the largest networks. We should make another video to send to them."

"What's wrong with the pilot we did for ESPN?" Kathy said.

"That video belongs to ESPN. We can't use it unless we get their permission. If we make one of our own, we don't have to worry about copyright infringements. Besides, I think we should make our videos different from most of the stuff you see now. We should add a personal element to the program. Not like those stupid reality shows, but more than just fishing," Sally said.

"I like that idea. We could incorporate the ports we travel to and show a little about the area. Maybe that would help us find sponsors," Molly said.

"I think we should make the show interesting to kids our age. It would help promote the sport and add to the number of fishermen and fisherwomen," Tom said.

Sally took notes, recording the ideas on her computer. The teens continued to talk, airing their thoughts about doing a show.

"When do we want Randy and Fran to meet with us?" Sally said. "I want to reply to their email."

"We can do it next week. This week is going to be busy. We have our club meeting on Thursday, the delivery of the yacht on Friday, and we should practice for the club tournament the following weekend," Brad said.

"I'd like to go out on Saturday and maybe Sunday," Eddie said.

"Don't forget that we don't have school. We can fish as often as we want to," Jenny said.

"We need to start studying tuna fishing. We have a big tournament coming up in a month," Kathy said.

"Yeah, and it's in North Carolina. We'll be gone for over a week with travel and practice," Jenny said.

"I sent Randy and Fran an email. I told them we could meet with them next week," Sally said. "I also downloaded the IGFA rules and sent them to Dad's printer. Are we going to bring up the rules at our club meeting?"

"I think we should. The more I think about it, the better I like the idea of heavier line-weights. Is there any data on fish mortality on the IGFA site?" Brad said.

"There's some, but not too much. I'll try to find more information before the meeting," Sally said.

"I'm going to go swimming. This will be the last time we'll get to use this pool," Tom said. "If we need to go over anything else, we can do it later."

Molly moved over to Tom. She put her arms around his neck, gave him a kiss, and giggled. "Should I go get my suit?"

Tom started to tell Molly that she could wear her suit if she wanted to, but instead, he said, "No, you won't be needing your suit." He lifted her top, pulling it over Molly's head.

The rest of the group began undressing. They all walked to the showers, gathering in one of the large rooms. Each couple washed one another. Noticing Kim standing alone, Kathy pulled her closer to her and Eddie. The three of them laughed and washed one another. Finished in the shower, the teens went out and jumped in the pool. They splashed and horsed around together.

The adults came out to the pool. Laughing, they stripped, showered, and joined their kids in the water.

"Where are we sleeping tonight?" Jack said to his mom.

"In your rooms, Jack. Sam and Joanne are on their way over. Jenny, Kathy, and Molly's parents are going back to their house for the night," Marge said.

A few minutes later, Sam and Joanne arrived. They took a look at the pool, laughed, and joined the rest of the group.

Everyone began getting out of the pool after swimming for a half hour. Sally and Kim went to get towels, piling them on a couple chairs.

"Who would like a drink?" Don said.

Marc helped Don fix drinks for the adults. Joanne and the kids asked for soda. The group sat around the tables, drinking and talking.

At ten, the teens decided to go to bed. They said goodnight to everyone, gathered their clothing, and went upstairs. Standing in the hallway, the teens chatted for a moment. Kim told Sally they had to get the things from the laundry room. Sally nodded and followed Kim downstairs.

Kim and Sally returned with a basket of clean clothes. They gave everyone their things and then packed what they wanted to ship in the boxes. Tom and Molly went to Tom's room. They crawled into bed, cuddling together.

"Where is Kim sleeping tonight?" Molly said.

"I don't know. Do you want to go find out?"

"Yeah, she can sleep with us if she wants to—can't she?" Molly said.

"Sure, I don't mind," Tom said.

Molly got out of bed. She went back into the hallway to find Kim. Molly checked in Jack and Sally's room first. She asked if they knew where Kim was.

"She's sleeping with Kathy and Eddie tonight," Sally said.

"Oh, okay. I just wanted to make sure Kim wasn't alone," Molly said.

Sally sat up. "Molly, you don't have to worry about Kim. She knows what she's doing and what she wants. It's very sweet of you to be concerned though," Sally said.

Molly nodded. "Thanks, goodnight," Molly said as she left the room.

"Kim's with Eddie and Kathy tonight," Molly told Tom as she slid into bed next to him.

Tom smiled. He pulled Molly closer, kissing her tenderly. They squirmed against each other, finding a comfortable position. Tom stroked Molly's back and she rolled onto her stomach. He ran his hand down to her butt, stroking her gently as he lay on his side next to her.

Settling in for the night, Tom thought about Molly's request that he become the dominant member of their relationship. Her need for someone strong, as Molly put it, puzzled Tom. Not only did he not completely understand her need, Tom didn't know how to give Molly want she wanted.

Tom wanted to sit down with Jack so he could ask his cousin what to do. He knew that his sister Sally was very happy and Tom wanted Molly to be happy too. On the surface, things between Jack and Sally seemed the same as the relationships the other couples enjoyed. Tom didn't know what went on when Jack and Sally were alone. Other than the gold collar Sally wore, Tom couldn't see much difference.

Molly sighed. She lifted her hips, pressing her bottom against Tom's stroking hand. He squeezed her cheek, letting Molly know he was there.

"Mmmm, that feels nice. I love you, Tom," Molly said with a groggy voice.

Tom kissed Molly's cheek. "I love you too, Sweetheart."

Molly wiggled against Tom. He relaxed his grip on her butt cheek, slowly moving his hand over her naked flesh. Molly's breathing changed as her body relaxed.

Tom thought about the time Jack led his sister into the pool area on a leash. He remembered how happy and proud Sally looked as she walked behind Jack. Tom also remembered how subservient Megan acted at the hands of Lisa. He moved his hand along Molly's side, letting it rest against her side. His fingers scraped the side of her breast, pressing softly into the pliant flesh. Tom shook his head, knowing he could never to treat Molly the way he'd seen Lisa treat Megan or the way Jack treated Sally.

Kissing Molly's shoulder, Tom silently vowed to come to some understanding that would make Molly happy, but allow him to feel comfortable.

Kim, Eddie, and Kathy shifted around on the bed trying to get comfortable. Eddie rolled onto his side, his back against Kim and his chest against Kathy's back. He fondled one of Kathy's breasts as he kissed the back of her neck.

"You should pay attention to Kim too," Kathy said.

"Thanks, but I just want to go to sleep. If you two want some privacy, I'll leave," Kim said.

"You don't have to leave, Kim. Kathy and I will stop fooling around if it bothers you," Eddie said.

"It doesn't bother me, I don't want to fool around, that's all."

Eddie rolled over. He put his hand on Kim's shoulder, gripping her lightly. "Is everything okay?" Eddie said.

Kim rolled onto her back. She sat up, wrapping her arms around her legs as she pulled her knees to her chest. "Everything is fine. I know everyone is concerned about me, but there's no reason to worry. I love you guys, all of you, and I appreciate the fact you're thinking about me."

"We don't want you to feel left out," Kathy said.

Kim giggled, shaking her head. "I don't feel left out. I know I'm as much a part of our group as anyone else. I don't have to have sex to be happy." Kim giggled again. "Don't get me wrong, I love sex. Right now, I don't want a relationship, not a serious one anyway."

Eddie chuckled. "I understand, Kim. If you ever need a little loving, let me know."

Giggling, Kim reached between Eddie's legs. She fondled his penis and said, "If I need a little loving, I'll tell Kathy. I'll see you if I need my brains fucked out!" Kim removed her hand and laughed.

"Sounds good to me, Kim," Kathy said. "I'll try to stop fretting over you. Please understand that I only do it because I care for you—we all care about you and your happiness."

"Thanks, I know you do, but it's still nice to hear. Who knows, maybe I'll find a boy that rocks my socks when we go back to school in the fall. For now, I want to be carefree and enjoy the summer. I'm so looking forward to fishing and boating this summer," Kim said.

Kim stretched out again, this time on her back. Eddie spooned against Kathy. The three of them told each other goodnight. They shifted around, getting comfortable.

Sally woke up early the next morning. She snuggled against Jack, stroking his morning erection as she did most mornings. She waited for Jack to wake up, watching his sleeping form. Jack finally stirred. He smiled up at Sally as he stretched his arms above his head.

"Good morning, Baby," Jack said.

"Good morning. I love you," Sally said.

Jack pulled Sally down and gave her a kiss. "I love you too. Are you ready for our big move?" Sally nodded. "Are you sad to be leaving Michigan?"

"No, I'm not sad. I can't wait to move to Florida with our friends."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too. I guess we should get up and get going. We have a few things to do before we leave this afternoon," Jack said.

Sally nodded. She gave Jack's penis a firm squeeze before releasing it from her warm grip. They got out of bed, used the bathroom, and took a shower together. Sally giggled as Jack ran his soapy hands over her body. He played with her breasts, rubbing her nipples until they turned hard. Sally fondled his penis, leaning over to kiss it.

Jack turned Sally around. He put one arm around her waist and placed his other hand on her back. Pushing gently, Jack bent Sally at the waist. He used a foot to open her legs so he could enter her from behind.

"This is our last fuck in this house," Jack said as he slowly sawed his penis in and out of Sally's vagina.

"I know, but we'll have so many more at our new house," Sally said. She pushed back against Jack, timing her movements with his.

Jack reached around Sally. He rubbed one of her breasts, slid his hand down her stomach, and diddled her clit. Sally moaned. She removed one of her hands from the wall so she could push Jack's hand against her clit harder.

Sally and Jack reached their climaxes. Sally came first, followed closely by Jack. When he removed his penis from her vagina, Sally turned around. She knelt on the shower floor, taking his member into her mouth. Moaning, Sally cleaned Jack's penis.

Jack and Sally finished in the bathroom. They went to their room to dress for the day. Sally stood near the bed, silently waiting for Jack to tell her what he wanted her to wear that day.

"Hun, wear jeans and a tee shirt today. I want you to be comfortable on the flight," Jack said.

Sally smiled. She picked out clean underwear, showing them to Jack for his approval. He nodded, letting her know he approved. Jack began removing the last of the knickknacks, books, and other items from the shelves in the room. He packed them in boxes, labeling them with his and Sally's names. Sally helped Jack finish packing their mutual things.

"You better make sure Tom and Molly are up, Kim too. They have to finish packing," Jack told Sally.

Sally went to Tom's room. She knocked on the door, waiting for an answer. Molly opened the door, smiling when she saw Sally. Molly wore a towel around her body.

"Jack wanted me to make sure you and Tom were up. We have to finish packing," Sally said.

"We're up, Sally. Tom and I just finished our shower. We'll be out in a few minutes," Molly said.

Sally left the room. She went down the hall to the room Kim shared with Eddie and Kathy. Once again, Sally knocked on the door. She opened it when she heard Eddie tell her to come in.

"Is Kim up yet? We have to finish packing," Sally said.

"She's in the shower, Sally. I'll tell her you were here. Kathy and I are ready," Eddie said. "Do you need any help?"

"I think we're okay. Jack and I are packing the last of our stuff," Sally said.

Jack and Sally put the last of their items in a box. Jack taped the box closed and labeled it. Across the hall, Tom and Kim finished packing their things. Molly helped, wrapping the fragile items in bubble-wrap.

"Who needs help?" Jenny said. She and Brad stood in the hallway between the two rooms.

"We're finished. All we have to do is take our suitcases downstairs," Jack said.

Jack, Tom, Eddie, and Brad carried the suitcases downstairs. The girls took their carry-on bags and makeup kits. The group of teens went to the kitchen for breakfast, greeting their parents.

"You guys are up early," Jenny said to her mom.

"We wanted to get over here so we could get ready to head home. We used Tom's truck and had to get it back so the transport company could load it this morning," Ellen said.

"What time is the transport company going to be here?" Jack asked his dad.

"They should be here at ten," Don replied. "You'd better make sure the trucks and the boat are ready to go."

"They are, but we'll double check them after breakfast," Jack said.

Laura took a pan of fresh muffins from the oven. Marge and Anne scrambled eggs while Ellen and Sarah fried bacon and sausage patties. A few minutes later, the group sat down in the dinning room. They ate breakfast while going over the last minute details.

While the girls helped with the dishes, Jack and the other boys went outside to make sure the boat and the trucks were ready to ship.

"Let's make sure everything is secure," Jack said as he and Tom stood in the cockpit of the Lucky Lady. Brad and Eddie climbed aboard to help.

The boys double-checked the rods, tackle, and other things in the boat. After making sure everything was secure, they attached the cover. Jack checked his pickup truck, making sure there wasn't anything in the cab or the back. Tom went through his Expedition. He grabbed a couple of jackets from the back.

At ten fifteen, two trucks pulled in front of the house. a large vehicle carrier and truck with a low-boy trailer. Jack ran inside to tell his dad the transport company arrived. A man and woman walked up the drive and looked at the trucks and the boat.

"How are you doing?" the man said. "I'm here to pick up the vehicles you want taken to Florida. I'm Phil and this is my wife, Dottie."

"We're shipping the pickup, the Expedition, the boat, and the Lincoln," Don said as he shook hands with the man.

Nodding, Phil walked over to the boat. He took out a tape measure, measuring the length of the boat and the truck. "We'll put the Expedition and the car on the bottom of the hauler," Phil told his wife. "Where are the keys?"

Jack and Tom gave Phil the keys to their trucks. Don went inside to get the keys for his wife's Lincoln. Phil drove the pickup and boat to the road. Dottie dropped the low-boy trailer so her husband could load them. Jack and the rest of the boys walked to the road to watch Phil. They watched as the man drove the truck and boat onto the trailer. Dottie stood to the side, making he stayed centered.

The girls came outside to watch too. Molly took Tom's hand, holding it firmly. "That looks close," Molly said as she pointed at the boat.

"I think he knows what he's doing. Phil measured the boat before he loaded it," Tom said.

Phil and Dottie secured the pickup and boat. They placed the ramps on the car hauler and loaded the other vehicles. Once the car, trucks, and boat were ready to make the trip, Phil walked over to Don.

"We'll have this load in Florida on Thursday. My brother will be here to pick up the other two cars on Thursday afternoon. He should drop them off this weekend," Phil said. "The bus will be there later today."

"Thanks, Phil," Don said.

"No problem. We'll make sure the vehicles get there unharmed," Phil said.

Phil and Dottie said goodbye. They went to their trucks and got in. Dottie pulled away in the truck with the low-boy trailer. Phil followed her in the car hauler.

"Well, that's one more thing that's out of the way," Don said. "Are you kids sure you've finished packing?"

"Yeah, we have all our stuff packed in boxes, Dad. The only thing left in our rooms is the furniture," Kim said.

"Good. You kids can relax until it's time to head to the airport. I ordered a couple shuttles to take everyone," Don said.

The group went into the house. Jack and Tom poured coffee for themselves while the rest of the teens went out to sit by the pool. Standing in the kitchen, Jack and Tom watched their friends and sisters.

Tom glanced around to make sure no one else was in the kitchen. "Jack, how are things going between you and Sally?" Tom said.

"Great, Tom, why wouldn't they be good?"

"I'm talking about your relationship, you know, the fact my sister is submissive," Tom said.

"We're still working on that. You don't have to worry. I would never do anything to hurt Sally."

"I know. The reason I'm asking is that Molly wants the same type of relationship with me. At least I think she does. She told me she needs a strong man in her life," Tom said.

Jack chuckled. "Tom, I don't know what to tell you. That's something you have to work out with Molly. I can tell you that it will probably be hard for you to do—it is for me. If it wasn't so important to Sally, I wouldn't have anything to do with it."

Nodding, Tom said, "How about the leash and collar?"

Jack turned to his cousin. Shaking his head, Jack said, "That was a huge mistake if you're talking about the time that Lisa and Megan were here. I still use it with Sally, but only when we're alone. There's no way I'll ever do anything to humiliate her again. We differ on the subject, but we've come to an agreement."

"What do you do to make her happy, Jack? For the life of me, I can't figure out what to do," Tom said.

"The only thing I can suggest is to talk to Molly. Decide what you're willing to do and what you won't do. Spell everything out for her. When I accepted Sally, I told her how our relationship would be. I also gave her an out if she doesn't want to do it anymore. I have it written down if you want to see it."

"Should I get a collar like Sally's for Molly?" Tom said.

"If Molly's serious, and you're committed, I would get her one. Make sure it's something nice—you know, like jewelry, not a pet collar. Tom, if you want to know the truth, it takes a strong person to do what Sally's doing." Jack chuckled. "She does whatever she tells me to tell her to do."

"I don't know if Molly's that strong, Jack. I don't know if I'm the type of person that can be dominating," Tom said.

"You and Molly can work that out between you two. Just make sure no one gets hurt. With Sally, I try things and see how she responds. I can tell if she likes what I'm doing or not. Tom, this isn't about sex, not entirely. While sex plays into the relationship, it isn't the reason for it. Make sure you don't become someone you're not while trying to please Molly."

"Thanks, Jack. You've given me a lot to think about."

"Tom, I didn't figure this out on my own. I talked to our parents. Our moms have the same kind of relationship with my dad."

"I've noticed that Uncle Don is the leader of our family. I know my dad isn't a wimp, but it's clear that when push comes to shove, your dad is in command. Frankly, it seems to be working well for us—all of us," Tom said.

"Dad is a good example, Tom. He's proof you can lead without being a prick. Whatever you decide, don't become a prick or an asshole," Jack said.

"Like Lisa?" Tom said.

"Yeah, like Lisa. I guess Megan is cool with it, but I think that Lisa is taking advantage of Megan's weaknesses. I hope that someday Megan wakes up and sees that she doesn't have to live the way she's living."

"So do I, Jack. I always liked Megan. I guess she's still dealing with the rape," Tom said.

"Maybe she is. I think it would be better for her to get professional help than to let Lisa control her," Jack said. "There's nothing I can do for someone that doesn't want help. I tried to talk to Megan, but she wouldn't listen to what I offered,"

"I guess we just have to move on, don't we?"

"I think move forward is more accurate, Tom. We have to learn from the past and make sure we don't make the same mistakes again if we can avoid them. Moving to Florida is a big step for us. I'm looking forward to the yacht, fishing, and if it works out, Sally's idea about producing a television show and videos."

"It sounds like we're going to be busy, doesn't it?" Tom said.

"Yeah, but I think it's good for us to be busy," Jack said and then he chuckled. "It could be a lot worse you know?"

Tom nodded. "Let's go see what's going on with the rest of our team," Tom said.

"That's what we are, isn't it—a team. I can't get over how close we've all become in such a short time." Jack put his hand on his cousin's shoulder. "The fishing keeps us close and the sex makes it fun—or is it the other way around?"

"I'd say it's equal. I wouldn't want to give up either of them," Tom said.

"You've got that right!" Jack replied.

Jack and Tom went out to the pool area to be with the rest of the group. Tom walked over to Molly, stood behind her, and rubbed her shoulders. She put her hands on his. Looking up, Molly smiled at Tom.

"What are you guys talking about?" Tom said.

"We're making plans for the summer, Baby. We're going to be busy," Molly said.

"I know we are. Jack and I were just talking about that too," Tom said.

"It's going to be wonderful you know. All of us being together is very important to me," Molly said.

"That's important to all of us," Jenny said.

Tom moved in front of Molly. He took her hands, pulling her to her feet. Tom wrapped his arms around Molly, pulled her close, and gave her a kiss. He sat down, guiding Molly onto his lap.

"Sally has found a lot of information regarding fish mortality and how it can be reduced by using heavier line-weights," Jenny said. "We've decided to make a presentation at our meeting on Thursday night. If there are enough board members there, we can ask for a vote and start using the heavier line at our club tournament."

"Do you think they'll go for it?" Jack asked. "You know that some of the old-timers are set in their ways."

"If we make a compelling argument, I think they'll make the change. There's nothing saying they can't use the line they want to use. We're just asking to raise the weight for those that want to make a change. According to what Sally said, the International Game Fish Association is going to make the money tournaments change to their rules if they want to be sanctioned," Eddie said.

Jack put his hands on Sally's upper arms. "You've been busy, haven't you?"

"Yes, that's okay, isn't it?" Sally said.

Smiling, Jack nodded. He leaned over and whispered in Sally's ear. "Next time, ask or I'll have to spank you."

Sally giggled. Turning her head, she kissed Jack.

Laura came out to talk to Molly. Tom unwrapped his arms from around her waist so she could get up and talk to her mom. He watched as Molly and her mom walked away.

"What's up, Mom?" Molly said.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to make sure everything is good with you," Laura said.

"Mom, you have to stop worrying about me. I'm fine," Molly said.

"I can't help it, Honey. I know I'm being a little over protective, but that's what moms do."

"How are you and Joel doing?" Molly said, trying to turn the tables.

Laura chuckled. "We're just fine, Honey."

"Have you two talked about moving or a new house?"

"Yes, we've talked about it, but we haven't decided what we're going to do. We're not in a rush, Molly. Joel and I might wait until after we're married," Laura said.

Molly gave her mom a hug. "I know you're worried about me, but you don't have to. If there's anything bothering me, I'll come to you."

"Okay, I'm sorry to be a nag," Laura said.

"I know it's because you love me, Mom."

Laura and Molly hugged again. Molly went back to Tom and sat on his lap. Laura went into the house.

"Is everything okay?" Tom said.

"Yeah, my mom is just being a mom," Molly replied and then she giggled.

Marge announced that lunch was ready. Kim, Sally and the other girls went in to help serve the sandwiches and other things. They finished their lunch, carrying their dirty dishes to the counter. The group went out to sit by the pool.

"Okay, kids, let's get going. The shuttles are going to be here in a few minutes," Don said as he walked over to the teens.

Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim walked around the house one last time. They talked about the fun they'd had there, and about things to come. After their brief reminiscing, they grabbed their suitcases. The group took the luggage out to the garage, placing it near the overhead doors.

A few minutes later, two shuttle busses pulled into the driveway. The drivers helped load the luggage and then everyone climbed into the busses. Don, Marc, Harry, and Jack Waters followed in a car to see their families off.

At the airport, the group checked their bags. They went inside, saying goodbye to the men when they reached security. Don and the other men told their families that they would see them on Friday. After hugs and kisses, the men watched the group file through the security station. The men left when their families were out of sight.

Molly held Tom's hand as they walked toward the gate. She gave his hand a squeeze and said, "Flying still scares me a little."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you, Sweetie," Tom said.

"I know, you'll always take care of me, won't you?" Molly replied as she looked up into Tom's eyes. She smiled when Tom nodded.

"Okay you two, quit dawdling," Laura said from behind Tom and Molly.

Turning around, Molly walked backwards for a moment. She giggled and said, "Sorry, Mom. I was talking to Tom."

"I could hear you, Molly. There's nothing to be afraid of you know. You did fine on the way down, didn't you?" Laura said.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm not nervous." Molly turned around, hugging Tom's arm to her side.

The group arrived at the gate. They found seats and sat down to wait for the attendant to call for boarding. Jack and Sally sat near Tom and Molly. While Sally and Molly talked to each other, Tom thought about what he and Jack discussed. He was slowly coming to the conclusion that he could do what Molly wanted, at least to some degree.

Kim sat with her mom and Aunt Anne. She stared out the window, watching the activity on the runways and tarmac. Marge put her hand on Kim's forearm, causing her daughter to look at her.

"Is everything okay, Kim?" Marge said.

"Yeah, I'm okay, Mom. I just wish everyone would quit worrying about me. Can't they understand that I don't need a boyfriend to be happy?" Kim said.

"I'm sure they understand. They're just concerned because they love you. Don't worry, they'll stop bugging you soon," Marge said.

Kim nodded, but she wasn't sure. She wished her friends and family could let her alone to do what she wanted to do.

The attendant announced that the flight was boarding. The group got up, waiting until the first class passengers boarded before they moved into the line. They showed their boarding passes as they headed onto the plane. Kim sat with Sally and Jack.

A few minutes later, they sat waiting for the plane to take off. Molly hugged Tom's arm as the plane taxied and left the ground. When they were airborne, she relaxed, but didn't release his arm.

Kim got out of her seat after the seatbelt light went off. She asked Brad if he would move so she could sit with Jenny and Kathy. He got up, taking the seat Kim vacated.

"So, are you two going to introduce me to some of the hot boys you know?" Kim said with a giggle.

"I know a couple boys that you might like to meet, Kim," Kathy said. "They go to our school."

"Who are you thinking about?" Jenny said.

"I was thinking about Terry Devino or Jamie Driggs," Kathy said. "They're cute—at least I think so."

"Do they like to fish?" Kim said.

"I don't know if they do or not," Kathy replied. "They're boys, so I know they'll like sex."

Kim, Jenny, and Kathy laughed. "I was hoping to find someone that was interested in something other than sex. It's not that I don't want to have sex, but I want to do other things too. I want a boy, or boys, that like fishing and boating. I'm not in a rush you know. If I meet someone that's cool, but I'm not obsessed with it," Kim said.

"As cute as you are, you won't have any trouble finding boys that want to take you out. The problem can be finding the right boy," Jenny said.

Kathy giggled. "No kidding. Do you know now hard it will be to find a boy like our guys? Most boys will get all pissed off if you even hint at fooling around with anyone else. I could never date a boy that gets jealous of the things I do or who I do it with—not anymore."

Kim shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know about that. Maybe it would be nice to be in a normal relationship."

"Normal for who, Kim? You have to admit that we're not what most people would consider normal, but it works for us. Think about it for a minute. How many girls do you know that had their brother for their first lover? How many kids do you know that have parents that would accept it if they did?

"I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to have things different right now. I'm having a blast doing the things we do. I can jump my brother's bones and I know that Kathy isn't going to go ballistic. She knows that I won't go nuts if she messes around with Brad.

"Since we met you guys, we have expanded our stable so to speak. All of you are the same as we are. You guys don't get pissed when we fool around. I love being able to run around naked too," Jenny said.

"How about the fact we never have to worry about getting bad reputations? No matter what we do, or who we do it with, no one talks to anyone outside our group. Kim, we're not trying to tell you what to do. If you want to find a boy and have what other people call a normal relationship, go for it," Kathy said.

Kim started to giggle. "I really had you two going, didn't I? I want to find a guy that will fit in with us. Dating a boy that got all bent out of shape every time I flirted with another guy would suck!"

"No kidding, just think how pissed most boys would be if they found you on you knees sucking your brother's cock," Kathy said.

"Not to mention Eddie's or Brad's cocks," Kim said with a giggle.

"You need a boy that will accept that you eat pussy too," Jenny said.

"That won't be a problem. Don't all boys get off watching two girls?" Kathy said with a giggle.

"Yeah, but not as much as I get off doing it," Kim replied. The three girls laughed.

"Seriously, I'm not in a rush. If I meet a boy that's cool, but I'm not going to get upset if I don't—not right now," Kim said.

Jack and Brad sat with Sally in another row of seats. The two boys talked about some of the things they wanted to do when they got to Florida. Sally sat in the window seat, working on her notebook computer.

"What are you working on, Sally?" Brad asked as he looked past Jack.

"I'm reading some of the information I downloaded about fish mortality," Sally said. She looked up at Brad and smiled.

"You know, if the club decides to change the rules, we're going to have to reline our reels," Jack said.

"True, but it isn't that hard to do. We'll take the reels to Sid's tackle shop and he'll take care of it for us. He has a machine that removes the old line and winds on the new line. Maybe he can hook us up with one of the line companies for another sponsor," Brad said.

"Why do you use Sid's shop? Aren't there other shops around?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, there are a lot of other tackle shops. When Eddie and Jenny began fishing, Sid helped them so we keep going back. Now Sid is one of our sponsors," Brad replied.

"That makes sense to me, Brad. Sid seems to take good care of us. Do you know if he's a fisherman?" Jack said.

Brad shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure if Sid fishes or not."

"Sid told me he used to fish, but he gave it up after he opened the shop. I guess he's too busy now," Eddie said as he leaned across the aisle to talk to Brad and Jack.

In a row of seats, a few rows in front of their children, Marge, Anne, Sarah, Ellen, and Laura talked about the things they planned to do now that the Michigan families would live in Florida.

"Don told me that he and your husbands would be home early Friday. He said that he talked to Jeri about the yacht and the plans for the delivery. We're all going to meet at the boatyard after lunch," Marge said.

"All of us?" Ellen said.

"That's what Don told me. He wants to make a party of it. We're going to cruise down to Biscayne Bay and then back to the house. Yoshi is preparing food for the group. I guess we're going to have a short shake down cruise as well as take delivery of Tomiko," Marge said.

"I hope that our kids start to show some interest in the yacht once we take delivery. Lately, they have been more interested in fishing, among other things, than they have been in Tomiko," Anne said.

"I'm sure they'll find time for the yacht. They've had a lot on their plates lately. I think that once we settle in, they'll be able to balance everything," Marge said.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have the energy the kids have?" Ellen said.

"I don't know, I think we do great for a bunch of older women," Sarah said and then she chuckled.

"Maybe we should talk our hubbys into taking us away for a few days—without the kids," Ellen said.

Nodding, Marge glanced at Laura. She noticed that Laura hadn't joined in the conversation. "How does that sound to you, Laura?" Marge said.

"That sounds nice. You all deserve to get away for a few days," Laura replied.

"Laura, you and Joel are invited too," Marge said. "Is everything okay?"

"It's still hard for me to consider myself as part of your group," Laura said.

"Why, because you work for us?" Anne said. Laura shrugged her shoulders. "Sweetie, you're our friend and will always be part of our group, as you call it. If there is a problem because you work for us, we'll find someone else. Joel can afford to make you a stay at home wife."

"I know he can, but I like working," Laura said softly.

"That's fine, as long as you don't allow it to interfere with our friendships," Anne said.

"You know, I worked the Caldwell family for years and they never included me in any family function other than to take care of Mrs. Caldwell at a dinner or a party. I never felt like anything other than an employee," Laura said.

"I guess we're different," Marge said with a smile.

All of the women laughed. "That's putting it mildly! I'm not sure 'different' comes close to describing us," Ellen said keeping her voice low so the passengers near the women couldn't hear her.

Laura relaxed and smiled. "I never thought I would say this, but I couldn't be happier about the fact my daughter is doing the things she is. Molly's relationship with all of the kids is one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen. I used to think I had to protect her from sex, but not anymore."

"I think it's because sex is part of their relationships, not the reason for their relationships. They're friends, first and foremost. The kids spend many hours doing other things and they do it without arguments. I don't think I've ever heard or seen any of them get cross with one another," Sarah said.

"One of the things that surprised me the most was when Molly stayed on the boat and the other kids wouldn't let her lie about where she was. It didn't take long for me to begin trusting her after that. I have to admit that her honesty took me back several times, but I'd much rather have Molly shock me than lie to me," Laura said.

"That's enough about the kids, let's talk about where we want our husbands to take us," Ellen said.

"If everyone could get the time off, it would be nice to take the yacht up to the Carolinas when the kids go up to fish in the Tuna tournament," Marge said. "I know it's not exactly getting away without the kids, but it would be close. They will be on Lady Guinevere and we'll be on Tomiko."

"I know I have vacation time," Sarah said.

The women talked about the idea. Ellen told them she could get away from the shop and take the trip. Laura asked for time off and everyone laughed.

The plane landed on time. The group made their way down to the luggage pick up to wait for their bags to appear on the conveyer. The boys loaded the suitcases onto carts as they removed them from the moving belt.

"Hi, Marge, did you have a good flight?" Jeri said as she and April walked over to the group.

"Yes, it was fine. Why are you and April here?" Marge replied.

"Don called and asked us to pick you guys up. He said that he, and the other men, would take the van home when they arrive on Friday." Jeri giggled. "Besides that, you don't have keys to the van."

"Damn, I knew I forgot something," Ellen said.

Jack, Brad, Eddie, and Tom rolled the carts out of the building. Jeri pointed to the new limo parked in the pick up area. "The bus arrived yesterday. It's great," April said. "We'll be able to use it to pick up our clients."

Jack and the other boys loaded the bags into the luggage compartment under the vehicle. The women and the girls got in, taking seats. Jeri took off when the boys got in.

"Where are we headed?" Jeri asked.

"We're going to our house. Sarah and Laura's cars are there," Ellen said.

Jeri followed Ellen's directions to the house. The boys removed the suitcases from the compartment, carrying them to the cars and into the house.

Molly walked over to Tom. She put her arms around his waist, pulling her body against his. Tom and Molly kissed each other for a few moments. "I'm going to miss sleeping with you tonight," Molly said.

"I know. I'm going to miss waking up with you next to me," Tom said.

"Will I see you tomorrow?"

"I sure hope so, Baby." Tom gave Molly another kiss. "Maybe you can come over with your mom if she's working tomorrow."

Twisting her head, Molly said, "Mom, are you working tomorrow?" Laura smiled as she nodded her head. "Will you take me with you?" Once again, Laura nodded.

"Looks like that's settled," Tom said.

"We'll be over tomorrow too. The boat is going to need a good cleaning so she's ready for the tournament," Eddie said.

Everyone said goodbye to each other. Jack, Sally, Tom, and Kim followed their moms onto the limo. Jeri took off, beeping the horn as she pulled away.

"Jeri, we're going to have Eddie, Brad, and the girls help us outfit the yacht for fishing. We want to be able to offer it to our clients," Jack said.

"That's a good idea," Jeri said.

"Is Tomiko ready for delivery on Friday?" Sally asked.

"Yes, she's as ready as she's going to be. April and I have done all we can do for now," Jeri said.

"Have you hired the crew yet?" Tom asked.

"Not everyone, but we did hire two people," April said. She glanced at Jeri and smiled.

"That's cool. Are you still considering Frank and Erin?" Kim said.

"No, not anymore," April replied.

Kim wanted to ask why, but she didn't. The teens had told Jeri and April to handle the hiring of the crew and Kim felt she shouldn't interfere.

"Have you selected a broker yet?" Jack said.

"No, not yet. Once we have the yacht at the house, we'll invite the three brokers we've talked to over. After they've seen Tomiko, we'll make a decision. We wanted to wait for you guys to move down so you could interview them with April and me," Jeri said.

Jeri and April told the teens about the final details of finishing the yacht. Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally listened as Jeri and April told them about the linens, towels, dishes, and the other things that Joanne Mitchell picked out for the yacht.

A few minutes later, Jeri pulled into the driveway of the house. Next door, the folks from Michigan could see the construction equipment parked on the lot that once held the large home that burned.

"Tomorrow, we have to move Lady Guinevere to the other seawall. We have to make room for Tomiko," Jeri said as she helped remove the luggage.

"Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy are coming over tomorrow to clean the boat. We can move it then," Tom said. "Do we have power and water for her?"

"Yes, the contractor took care of it last week, Tom. Everything is ready for Lady Guinevere. Your dad had them put in everything we have on our seawall, including a fueling connection," Jeri said.

"Okay, kids, let's get our things put away," Anne said.

Jack, Tom, Sally, and Kim took their things to the smaller house. They walked in and headed for the bedrooms. Kim paused in the hallway for a moment. She looked into one of the rooms and said, "We can put my stuff in here. Tom, you can have the other room," Kim said.

Nodding, Tom took his bags to the room he and Kim used to share. Kim put her suitcase in one of the smaller bedrooms with access to a bathroom. Sitting on the bed, Kim sighed. She felt somewhat empty, but knew that she and Tom couldn't share a room, or a bed, anymore. She didn't want to do anything that could cause trouble between Tom and Molly. For a moment, Kim considered moving to the main house, but quickly put the thought out of her mind.

The teens put their clothing away. Kim retrieved her things from Tom's room. She filled the dresser drawers and hung her clothing in the walk-in closet. Tom helped Kim carry her things, watching her as she put them away.

"This seems weird, Kim," Tom said.

Kim came out of the closet. She put her arms around Tom and looked up into his eyes. "I know, but we both know it's necessary, Tom. I don't want to do anything that would hurt your relationship with Molly. She loves you and you love her," Kim said.

"I love you too, Kim," Tom said.

Nodding, Kim said, "I love you too—I always will. Tom, we're not breaking up, we're moving on. As much as I love you, I don't see us spending the rest of our lives together, not as a couple."

"Do you still want to have sex?" Tom said.

Giggling, Kim nodded. "I do, but not until I know that you and Molly are ready. Please try to understand that I need time to sort things out, Sweetie."

"I know, Kim." Tom hugged her close. "If you get lonely, you're always welcome to sleep with me—just sleep if that's what you want."

"You're too sweet. Thanks, but I have to get used to sleeping alone again. It's been a long time." Kim gave Tom a tender kiss. "It isn't as if we're moving, Tom. Your room is right next to mine. Baby, we're going to be fine—you, me, and Molly."

Kim and Tom separated. He went to his room to unpack and put his things away. Kim flitted around her new room and bathroom, getting things set up the way she wanted them. Sitting on her bed, Kim thought about how she would decorate the room when her other items arrived from Michigan.

Jack and Sally also unpacked their clothing and put them away. Jack took the suitcases out to the living room so he and Tom could store them in the garage. Sally went to Kim's room and sat next to her cousin.

"I can't believe we're finally down here, Kim. I'm so excited!" Sally said.

"Yeah, me too," Kim replied.

"Are you going to be okay?"

"I'll be fine." Kim giggled. "I think sleeping alone is going to take some getting used to though."

"Molly wouldn't care if you slept with Tom you know," Sally said.

Kim shrugged her shoulders. "As I told Tom, it's time to move on. I don't know if it would upset Molly or not, but I'm not going to find out. I'd hate myself if I did something that hurt their relationship. He loves her so much and she loves him."

"Tom still loves you," Sally said.

"Yes, and I love him, Sally. I love him as my cousin and my friend—I love Tom in other ways too, but that's changing for me. If we have sex again, that's what it will be, sex."

Sally giggled and said, "Yeah, so what's the problem? There's nothing wrong with a little sucking and fucking for fun you know!" She put her arm around Kim. Pulling her close, Sally gave Kim a kiss on the cheek. Kim giggled and looked at Sally. When Sally planted a kiss on Kim's mouth, she didn't resist. Sally put one of her hands on Kim's breast, rubbing her through her top and bra. "If you get horny, I'll take care of you," Sally said after breaking the kiss.

"I'd like that," Kim said softly. "I like fooling around with girls, but with you it's so different. It's much more than fooling around to me."

Nodding, Sally removed her hand from Kim's breast and smiled. "If you get lonely, you're welcome in our bed," Sally said.

Giggling, Kim said, "I can't believe how many offers I'm getting. Tom told me the same thing."

Kim and Sally got up. Sally went to her room and Kim went to Tom's room.

"Want some help?" Kim said to Tom.

"No, I think I'm finished for now. When our stuff gets here you can help me set up my room if you want," Tom said.

Kim put her hand on Tom's cheek. "You should ask Molly to help you. It would mean a lot to her." Kim giggled. "You can TELL her to help you."

Tom jerked his head back and stared into Kim's eyes. She smiled at him. "Molly told me how she feels and what she wants, Tom."

"I don't think I can do that, Kim. I don't know how," Tom said.

"Sweetie, all you have to do is listen to what she says. Molly will let you know what she needs."

"Don't you mean what she wants?"

"No, I meant what I said. Molly needs you to do the things she asked you to do. I don't understand it. I don't even try anymore. Have you talked to Jack?" Tom nodded. "Maybe you should talk to your sister."

Tom furrowed his brow as he thought about Kim's statement. His face relaxed as he decided Kim was right. He could find out more from Sally than anyone else. Lowering his head, Tom kissed Kim's forehead. "Thanks, that's the best idea I've heard."

"What are friends for?" Kim said with a giggle.

"Friends with benefits?" Tom said with a grin.

"We'll see how it goes, Tom. No promises, okay?"

"I was just teasing you," Tom said.

"I'm not teasing, Baby. You're the best lover I've had and I'm going to miss it," Kim said. "Tom, let's see what the future brings."

Tom nodded. He and Kim went to the living room to wait for Jack and Sally. Jack came out and said, "Let's get these suitcases put away. I'm getting hungry."

Jack and Tom made two trips to the garage to put the suitcases in storage. They went into the main house to see if their moms were ready for them to put away their luggage. Marge and Anne told their sons the suitcases were empty and in their bedrooms. The boys took care of the items, stowing them in the garage.

Tom and Jack walked down to the boat. They looked around for a moment and went to the lot next door. As Jeri said, the seawall was ready for Lady Guinevere. They walked up to where the house stood before the fire.

"I wonder what our dads are going to do with another house," Tom said.

"Do you want to know what I think?" Jack said. Tom nodded. "I think that someday we'll get one of the houses. Dad said he was thinking about mirroring their house. I think that living next to our parents would be cool."

"We should ask our dads if that's what they have in mind. If it is, we should be able to help with the design. I know they said we could help, but I want to make sure," Tom said.

"Are you thinking of something different from the main house?"

"I was thinking that if we're going to get the house, we should design the floor plan so that there are four identical bedrooms. You know, one for each of us. Someday, we'll probably find someone we want to marry and live with," Tom said.

"I thought you already have," Jack said.

"Molly is a wonderful girl and I love her, but I'm not thinking about settling down for the rest of my life, not yet anyway. Shit, we're going to be eighteen in a few months. We're too young to think about those things right now," Tom said.

Jack shrugged his shoulders. "Getting married young worked for our parents," Jack said.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I want to get married when I'm eighteen," Tom said.

Jack chuckled. "I'm just kidding you, Tom. I'm not ready to think that way either. If we do think our parents are planning to give us the house, we should plan on rooms for our kids. Someday I want a family."

As they walked back to the house, Tom and Jack talked about the things they'd like in a house. They both laughed when they realized that their sisters would have more say in the matter than they would.

"Are you two ready for dinner?" Anne said when Tom and Jack walked into the house.

"I am, I'm starved," Tom replied.

"Wash up and sit down. It's almost ready. Your sisters are in the recreation room. Would one of you tell them dinner is ready?" Marge said.

Jack went to get Sally and Kim. Everyone sat at the table to eat the meal Marge and Anne prepared. After dinner, the teens cleared the table and took care of the dishes. The group went outside to sit on the patio and enjoy the warm evening.

"It's going to look different with Tomiko sitting where Lady Guinevere is, isn't it?" Jeri said as she and April walked up.

"Yeah, but it's going to be nice having our yacht behind the house," Kim said.

"It will make taking care of her easier. The drive to Fort Lauderdale everyday is getting old," April said. She pulled up a chair, sitting with the rest of the group.

"That and we'll be able to keep a close eye on her. Having Tomiko close by is much better than mooring her in a marina," Jeri said. "I'll bet you guys are anxious about Friday."

"Yeah we are," Jack said. "I understand we're going to take the boat down to Miami and back on Friday."

"That's the plan. Don said he wanted to take a ride and have a party onboard. Yoshi is preparing a feast from what he told us," April said. "We should plan an overnight trip soon. We want to run Tomiko through her paces before we book a charter."

"When do you think the yacht will be ready to charter?" Sally said.

"Tomiko is ready now. We have to finish hiring our crew and train them first. I'd say we can be ready in three or four weeks," Jeri said.

"Aren't you looking for an experienced crew?" Marge said.

"Yes, but even if they have experience, every yacht is different. We want the crew to do things the way we want them to, not like they did them for someone else," April said. She giggled and glanced at Jeri. "Jeri and I are very demanding. We won't settle for anything less than perfection."

"It sounds as if you two may require the impossible," Anne said.

"Not really, Anne. It isn't hard to do things right. If we want to charge top dollar for our charters, our clients are going to expect five star treatment. April and I plan to make sure they get what they're paying for," Jeri said.

"When will you start teaching Tom and I how to operate Tomiko?" Jack asked.

"We'll begin when you tell us you're ready, Jack. April and I work for you," Jeri replied.

"That may be true, but we're looking to you two for guidance. None of us knows a thing about operating a yacht or a charter business," Kim said.

"We want to learn as much as we can, but not until you and April think we're ready. I don't know about other owners, but I refuse to be a jerk and ask for things that aren't reasonable," Sally said.

Jeri and April smiled as they nodded.

"I've been thinking about our guests. I haven't said anything to Jack, Tom, or Kim, but I have an idea," Sally said.

"What's your idea?" Jeri said.

"I was thinking that we should make a deal with one of the hotels that has a marina. That way we could pick up our clients without having them walking through our yard or knowing where we live," Sally replied.

"I think that's a great idea, Sally," Jeri said.

"I think so too. I was never keen on the idea of having strangers coming here," Anne said.

"Sally, you're amazing. I would have never thought of that," Kim said.

Giggling, Sally said, "Who me? I'm just a ditzy blonde."

"You may be a blonde, but you are in no way ditzy. I agree with Kim, you're amazing," Jack said. He put his hand on Sally's arm, looked into her eyes and smiled. "You're smart too."

It took a moment for the others to catch the innuendo, but when they did, everyone laughed. Sally giggled and winked at Jack.

"You're so bad, Jack," Kim said.

"No he's not, he's amazing too!" Sally said causing everyone to laugh again.

"Okay you two, that's enough," Anne said. "You should take a swim and cool off."

The four teens agreed with Anne. They went down to the pool, removed their clothes, and jumped into the pool. Anne, Marge, April, and Jeri watched them frolic in the water.

"Your children never cease to surprise me. They have good heads on their shoulders," Jeri said.

"Thank you, we think they have done well with all that's happened. It isn't everyday kids their age go from a working middle class environment into our new lifestyle. It hasn't been easy for them, but they seem resilient," Marge said.

"Their parents have done a great job if you ask me," April said.

Anne chucked and said, "We're doing our best. Fortunately, my brother keeps all of us grounded. Don has the ability to keep all of us in check."

Marge smiled as she nodded her head.

"Well, I can tell you that Jeri and I truly appreciate the opportunity you've given us. We have never met, or worked for, anyone like you folks. I can't remember being as happy as I am now," Jeri said.

"We also love the fact that none of you judge Jeri and me. We know that there are a lot of people that can't accept the fact we're lovers," April said.

"That doesn't bother us in the least, does it Anne?" Marge said.

"We know, that's one of the things that makes us so comfortable here. We know we're employees, but you never make us feel that way. We feel that we're part of your family," Jeri said.

"I'm sure Laura has told you how happy she is too. She has been here everyday, taking care of the house and our apartment. We keep telling her we can do it ourselves, but she insists on cleaning for us. I hope that isn't a problem," April said.

"No, it isn't a problem for me," Marge said. Anne nodded in agreement. "We're glad she's enjoying her job."

"Maybe I shouldn't say this, but it doesn't feel like a job. I feel that you've given me an opportunity to do what I love. Everyone is more than generous too. April and I have been able to finally get our heads above water," Jeri said.

"It seems that Don and Marc enjoy giving people a chance to succeed. They are always finding ways to help people," Marge said. "It's one of the things we love about our hubbies."

"I hope you and April realize that our kids are more interested in fishing than they are in the yacht right now. I don't know if that will change anytime soon. Don wants them to learn, but he also wants them to enjoy being teenagers," Marge said.

"We have realized that they aren't going to be as involved as they once felt they would. April and I try to keep them involved, but they just defer to our ideas. While they listen and ask questions, in the end, we've made most of the decisions," Jeri said. "Frankly, it's very refreshing. The kids are much smarter than most owners are. It's very hard to work for someone that thinks they know it all when in fact they're clueless. They may know how to make money, but they don't know what it takes to maintain a yacht."

Marge and Anne laughed. "We fall into the clueless category."

"Actually, you don't. You know that you don't know and depend on people that do," April said. "That makes you wise, not clueless."

As the women continued talking, the teens played in the pool. They swam around, splashed each other, and then paused to rest.

"I'm getting out before I get wrinkled," Sally said. She walked up the steps as the rest followed her.

Jack picked up a towel so he could dry Sally. Kim watched for a moment. She giggled and tossed her towel to Tom. While Tom dried Kim's back, she looked over her shoulder at him. "We don't have to stop doing everything, Tom. We might not be sleeping together or fucking, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun."

Laughing, Tom began rubbing the towel over Kim's breasts. She turned around so she could look into his eyes. Kim and Tom shared a knowing smile. She took the towel so she could dry Tom. He laughed as she trapped his penis with the towel. Kim held his penis with one hand while patting it dry with the other. Tom told her it felt better without the towel, causing Kim to giggle.

The four teens stretched out on four of the lounges. They relaxed, each of them thinking about the things to come.

"What kind of fishing equipment are we going to buy for Tomiko?" Sally said.

"I'm not sure. I thought we'd take Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy to help us pick out what we need," Jack said.

"Are we going to buy the stuff at Sid's Tackle Shop?" Kim said.

"I want to get it there. After all, he is a sponsor," Tom said. "I don't think we should ask him for a discount though. We should save our favors for Lady Guinevere."

"When are we going to see Fran and Randy?" Jack said.

"I haven't heard back from them yet. I sent them an email the other day and told them we wanted to see them. I'll follow it up tomorrow," Sally said. "Maybe they'll be here to tape our club tournament."

"That would be cool. I want to talk with them about producing our own show too," Kim said.

"I hope we can make that idea work. It would be fun to have our own show," Tom said.

"Well, if we can't make it doing fishing shows, we can always do porn videos," Jack said and then he laughed. "I'm kidding you know."

Sally giggled. She sat up and put her hand on Jack's penis. "We could do them for fun."

"What, you want to have a movie of us making love?" Jack said.

"Why not? I was thinking more along the lines of sucking and fucking. I want to reserve making love for just you and me," Sally said.

"You're nuts, Sally!" Kim said. Sally giggled as she shrugged her shoulders. "I love it! Do you remember when we made the video with Megan and Lisa? I had a blast."

"If you want to do videos like that, we'll do them ourselves. I don't want to have anyone else know about it. Don't forget, we're underage and we could get someone in trouble," Tom said.

"I know we could. I'm just kidding anyway," Sally said.

Jack looked at Sally and raised his eyebrows. When she giggled, Jack said, "No you're not. You're serious about it."

"I'm going to shower and go to the house. It's been a long day," Kim said.

Tom stood up too. "Do you want me to wash your back?"

Kim giggled as she nodded. She and Tom headed toward the cabana. Jack and Sally followed them into the shower. The four teens showered and played. Tom and Kim avoided doing anything sexual, but they didn't hesitate washing each other.

"We're going to our house," Kim said as the four of them walked up to their moms, Jeri, and April. "We'll see you in the morning."

The adults told them goodnight. Kim, Sally, Jack, and Tom went through the house and out to the guesthouse. They went to their rooms to get ready for bed. Sally put on a tee shirt and Jack stepped into a pair of shorts.

They went out to the living room to watch television. A few minutes later, Tom and Kim joined them. They sat on the couch across from their siblings. Tom watched Sally and Jack. He thought about Molly and her request. Tom had been paying closer attention to Jack and Sally, trying to see what they did together.

"I'll have a soda," Jack said, not looking away from the television.

Sally got up. "Would anyone else like something?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'll have a soda too, please," Kim said.

Sally looked at Tom. He nodded to his sister, watching her smile as she walked toward the kitchen. When she returned, Sally gave Jack his can of soda before passing the cans to Tom and Kim. She sat next to Jack and opened his can for him. Jack glanced at Sally, smiled, and thanked her.

At ten o'clock Jack stood up. "Goodnight, Tom, Kim, we're going to bed. See you guys in the morning."

"Night, guys, see you," Tom replied. Kim also said goodnight.

Sally said goodnight as she followed Jack to their bedroom. Once again, Tom watched his sister.

"I don't get it, Kim. How can Sally do that? She acts as if Jack thinks for her," Tom said.

"As I said before, it's what she needs from Jack. Why does it bother you that she is as happy as a pig in shit?" Kim said with a giggle. "You have to decide what makes you happy Tom. Don't base your life on the way others live. I know that you feel torn about what to do about Molly, but you have to decide soon. You know, you could always try doing what Molly wants, or at least come to an agreement. If it doesn't work out, you can change until it does."

Tom thought for a moment. He put his arm around Kim's shoulders. Pulling her closer, he kissed her cheek. "Thanks, Kim. Goodnight," Tom said.

Kim smiled. She grabbed the remote, turned off the television, and headed for her room. Kim got into bed, pulling the sheet up to her neck. Hugging her pillow, Kim settled in for the night. She tossed and turned for a half hour, trying to get comfortable. Sighing, Kim realized that she missed having Tom next to her. Getting up, she walked to her door.

Standing in the dark hallway, Kim glanced at Tom's door. She started toward the door, but stopped. Smiling, Kim went to Jack and Sally's room. She walked in, trying to see in the dim light streaming in the window. Kim saw Sally lying in the center of the king size bed with Jack's arm across her side. Kim slid into the bed, putting her back to her cousin. Sally stirred. She scooted closer to Kim, putting her arm over Kim's body. Kim moved closer to Sally, feeling her body conform to Kim's back. Sally didn't say a word. She kissed the back of Kim's head, snuggled closer, and closed her eyes.

Chapter 48


On Wednesday morning, Laura woke Molly. She told her daughter that it was time to get up so Laura could go to work. Molly stretched, sat up, and wished her mom good morning. She stumbled out of bed, scratching her breasts as she walked to the bathroom. The warm spray of the shower woke Molly. She shampooed her hair, washed, and shaved her legs as she thought about seeing Tom.

"How was sleeping in your own bed?" Laura asked Molly as she drove to work.

"Lonely, Mom."

"It takes getting used to, but so does sleeping with someone," Laura said.

"I'm used to sleeping with Tom. I missed him so much last night," Molly said.

Smiling, Laura nodded. Molly stared out the window, wondering what she would find when she saw Tom. It took a long time for Molly to fall asleep the night before. In her mind, she knew that Tom and Kim were in bed together. While Molly didn't feel jealous, she did feel envious. More than anything, Molly wanted to share Tom's bed.

Laura pulled into the driveway. She turned off the headlights and then turned off the engine. "We have to be quiet, Molly. I don't want to wake anyone up too early. I'm going to bake a coffee cake for breakfast," Laura said.

"Okay, I'm going to see if Tom is up yet," Molly replied.

Laura looked across the front seat at her daughter. "Molly, are you sure you want to do that?" She didn't know what Molly would see if she went into the house. Molly nodded her head. "Okay, but if everyone is still sleeping, come to the main house." Once again, Molly nodded.

Molly and Laura got out of the car. Molly went to the guesthouse while her mom went to the back door of the main house. Standing at the door, Molly wondered if she should go in. She took a deep breath, deciding to go in. Molly turned the doorknob. When she realized the door was locked, she swore under her breath. Molly went to the main house to get the key from her mom.

Being as quiet as she could, Molly unlocked the door. She went inside, closing the door behind her. Moving slowly, Molly walked to Tom's bedroom door. She paused, wondering if he was in the same room as he had been in. Molly opened the door of the bedroom and looked in. She almost jumped for joy when she saw Tom sleeping alone.

Tom stirred. He looked up, seeing someone's silhouette in the doorway. Reaching for the nightstand, Tom turned on the lamp. He saw Molly and grinned.

"Good morning, Sweetheart. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up," Molly said softly.

Tom nodded. "Take off your clothes and get into bed," Tom said.

Molly moved into the room. She took off her shoes, top, and shorts. Unclasping her bra, she let it fall to the floor as she moved closer to the bed. Molly shucked her panties and climbed in next to Tom. He rolled onto his side, gave Molly a searing kiss, and then said, "I'm still tired. I need a couple more hours of sleep."

Trying not to giggle, Molly snuggled with Tom. He spooned against her back, put his arm over her body, and placed his hand on one of her breasts. Molly sighed as she wiggled her bottom against Tom's growing penis.

"I love you, Molly," Tom said in a groggy voice.

"I love you too, Sweetheart. Go back to sleep, we can talk when you wake up."

"What do you want to talk about?" Tom said as he massaged her breast.

"It's nothing important. I just wanted to tell you how happy I am."

"I'm happy too, Honey." Tom kissed Molly's shoulder.

Molly closed her eyes. She relished the feeling of Tom's hand on her breast and his erection against her butt. A few moments later, she heard Tom's breathing change. Smiling, Molly knew he was asleep.

Tom shifted against Molly, waking her. He kissed the back of her neck, put his hand on her shoulder, and rolled her onto her back. Rising up, Tom kissed Molly's soft lips.

"Good morning, Sweetie. This is a pleasant surprise," Tom said.

"I came over with my mom this morning. I hope you're not mad that I disturbed you," Molly replied.

Tom smiled. "Give me a blowjob and I'll forgive you."

Molly giggled. Tom smiled as she slid down his body, planting tender kisses along the way.

"Mmmm," Tom moaned as Molly took his morning erection between her lips. Her hand stroked his shaft in time with her bobbing head. Tom moved a hand to Molly's head. He ran his fingers through her thick hair, causing Molly to moan around his penis.

Tom felt his orgasm build. He gripped Molly's hair, guiding her head up and down on his throbbing member. A few moments later, Molly swallowed his semen. Tom's body jerked as Molly ran her tongue around the sensitive glans.

"That was my first blow job as a new Florida resident," Tom said as he pulled Molly up so he could hold her.

"I hope it's the first of many, Sweetie," Molly cooed. She licked her lips, tasting the remnants of Tom's climax.

Tom gave Molly a kiss. She opened her mouth when she felt Tom's tongue against her lips.

"I want breakfast too. Move up so I can lick your pussy," Tom said.

Molly slid up until her sex hovered above Tom's head. He ran his hands over her thighs, moving them to Molly's bottom. Staring up, Tom pulled Molly's crotch to his face. She let out a soft moan as his tongue lapped her vulva. Molly gripped the headboard. Her eyes locked with Tom's and she smiled down at him.

Still excited from giving Tom a blowjob, it didn't take long before Molly came. She rocked her hips, rubbing her vulva against Tom's extended tongue. Throwing her head back, Molly moaned through her climax. Tom gripped her sides, trying to maintain contact with his girlfriend's sex.

Molly's orgasm subsided. She moved down Tom's body, scraping her wet crotch against him. Tom wrapped Molly in his arms, kissed her, and then he said, "I love you."

"Oh, Tom, I love you so much!" Molly kissed Tom, licking around his mouth.

"I need to piss. When I'm finished, you can wash my back," Tom said.

Molly kissed Tom again. She jumped out of bed, standing next to it while she waited for Tom. He sat up, put his feet on the floor, and stood up. Putting his arm around Molly, Tom guided her to the bathroom.

"Want me to hold that for you?" Molly said and then she giggled. She watched Tom stand in front of the toilet.

"Thanks, but I can handle it," Tom said.

Tom finished. He went to the shower, turning on the water while Molly sat on the toilet. They stepped into the shower stall, feeling the warm water against their sated bodies. Molly shampooed Tom's hair and then washed him. Tom did the same for Molly. They rinsed the suds off their bodies and then Tom shut off the water.

In the bedroom, Molly gathered the clothing she'd strewn on the floor a couple hours earlier. She dressed, watching Tom as he pulled on a pair of boxers.

Kim opened the door to Tom's room to wake him up. When she saw Molly, Kim grinned. "Hi, Molly, I didn't know you were here," Kim said.

"Molly came over with her mom this morning," Tom said. Molly giggled and nodded. "It was too early to get up so she came to bed with me for a couple hours."

"That's cool. I wanted to make sure you were awake, Tom. Don't forget that we're cleaning the boat this morning," Kim said. She turned to Molly and winked. "Is your mom baking today?"

"Mom said something about a coffee cake," Molly replied.

"I'll see you in the kitchen. If you don't hurry, there won't be anything left," Kim said. She giggled, turned around, and left.

Dressed, Molly sat on the edge of Tom's bed waiting for him to finish getting ready. Tom sat next to her, putting his arm around her waist. "You said you wanted to talk to me," Tom said.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. "I wanted to tell you how happy I am and how much I love you," Molly said.

"I love you too, Molly, but I get the feeling there's something else."

Molly leaned against Tom. Staring down, she said, "When I got here this morning, I almost didn't come into your room. I wasn't sure that you would want me to."

Tom thought for a moment and smiled. "Kim took the bedroom next to mine. We moved her stuff yesterday. Is that what worried you?"

Molly shrugged.

"Sweetheart, you're my girlfriend. I love you. I want us to be together, but you're going to have to talk to me. You've asked for something that I'm not sure I can do, but I'm willing to try. The only way it will work is for you to be honest and open with me." Placing his fingertips under her chin, Tom turned her head up toward his. "Now, tell me what's on your mind."

"I was afraid that when I opened your door that Kim would be in bed with you," Molly said meekly.

Tom thought for a moment. He ran his hand up and down Molly's back, stroking her gently.

"What would you have done if Kim was in bed with me?" Tom said.

Molly shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. I hadn't thought that far ahead."

"What I would expect you to do is get into bed with us," Tom said.

"Does that mean you plan to keep sleeping with Kim?"

"I'm not planning to sleep with Kim or anyone else. If it happens, it happens. The one thing I can promise you is, that regardless of who I sleep with or have sex with, I'll only make love with you. I hope that you'll only make love with me.

"You know that our group is very open about sex. You can never tell who's going to be shacking up with who. I'm not going to let a little sexual fun hurt our relationship, Molly. While I like the way things are, I would gladly give it up and make our relationship exclusive," Tom said.

Molly looked into Tom's eyes. "You'd do that for me?"

"No, I'd do it for us. It isn't about you or me. It's about us. We have to decide what we want. I'm not going to lose you by sweating up the sheets with someone else, Molly. Having sex with other people is fun, but it's not necessary—not to me."

Molly started to smile and then she giggled. "I'm being silly, Tom. I know that now."

"Good, now let's go eat before your mom's coffee cake is gone," Tom said.

Tom and Molly walked to the main house. They went to the kitchen, greeting everyone as they went to the counter. Molly poured coffee for Tom, handing him the mug. She filled a mug for her and then sat at the table.

"What time are Eddie and the others supposed to be here?" Tom said as he took a chair between Molly and Kim.

"They should be here any minute. I called Eddie and told him that Mrs. Durham made coffee cake this morning. He told me to save some," Jack said.

"I made three coffee cakes so there's plenty," Molly's mom said.

Jeri and April came into the kitchen. After filling their coffee mugs, they sat with the rest of the group.

"We are so spoiled," April said as she buttered a slice of warm coffee cake. "Jeri and I started working out so we don't get fat from Laura's cooking."

Marge chuckled. "I can see that's going to be necessary for me too."

"Where are we going to put the exercise equipment?" Kim said. "We don't have a basement here."

"We can put it in the new building down by the seawall. Now that we've decided to find another place to meet our charter clients, we won't need the building for what we planned," Tom said.

"That's a good idea, Tom," Anne said.

"We have to move Lady Guinevere today to make room for Tomiko," Sally said as she glanced at her friends. "Jeri said the seawall next door is ready for her."

"Tom and I looked it over yesterday. The contractor has the water, electric, and fueling connection installed," Jack said.

"I think we should have cameras installed so we can watch the boats from the houses," Sally said. "You never know when someone will try to break into them."

"How do you come up with these ideas? I would have never thought of that," Jenny said.

Sally giggled and shrugged her shoulders.

The teens finished breakfast. They refilled their coffee mugs and headed for the boat.

"Should we clean it here or move it first?" Brad said.

"We can move it and then start cleaning. You know, it's going to be a pain keeping the boat clean with the construction going on," Eddie said.

"If we keep up with it, it won't be too bad," Kathy said.

Eddie went up to the bridge to start the engines so he could move the boat. Jack and Brad tended to the lines, casting off once the engines had warmed.

Jenny, Kim, and Kathy stood along the gunwale so they could adjust the fenders. Eddie moved the boat to its new mooring while Jack and Brad waited at the seawall. Tom helped the boys attached the lines to the pilings.

The girls went inside to begin cleaning while the boys took out the hoses, mops, and brushes. Starting at the bow, they began washing the exterior of the boat.

In the cabin, the girls went below. They split up and started cleaning the staterooms and heads. Jenny and Kim worked in one of the larger staterooms with Molly.

"How did you like sleeping alone last night?" Jenny said to Kim.

"I didn't sleep alone," Kim replied. Molly felt the color drain from her face. "I tried, but ended up in bed with Jack and Sally. It's going to take time to get used to sleeping alone again."

Molly exhaled and shook her head. She chastised herself for thinking the worst. Deciding that what Tom told her earlier was the truth, Molly walked over to Kim.

"Why didn't you sleep with Tom?" Molly asked.

"I didn't want to, Molly. Well, that's not entirely true. I thought about it, but decided that it wouldn't be a good idea. It's time for me to move on and give you and Tom your space," Kim said.

Molly smiled and nodded her head. She grabbed the cleanser and went into the head so Kim wouldn't see the tears in her eyes.

Two hours later, the teens met in the cockpit.

"Eddie, would you and Brad give us a hand today? We want to pick up the fishing tackle for Tomiko," Jack said as the group walked back to the house.

"Sure, where are you going to go to buy it?" Eddie said.

"We want to go to Sid's," Jack replied.

The teens went into the house. They sat at the table with the others so they could ask Jeri what she felt they should buy in the way of fishing tackle.

"I would make sure you can fish for dolphin, wahoo, grouper, and any other fish that doesn't require trolling. If you get a few spin-casting outfits, our guests can cast for dolphin and wahoo. Check with the tackle shop to see what they recommend," Jeri said.

"How many people should we set up for?" Sally said.

"I would think that six or eight would be fine. If we book a charter that needs more, we can take care of it then," Jeri said. "Don't forget that most of the fishing will be done with live bait."

"We want to be able to go swordfish fishing too," Kim said.

"What are you planning to do, make Tomiko a fishing boat?" April said with a chuckle.

"What good is it to have a boat if you can't use it for fishing?" Tom said. The teens laughed at what he said.

"I was teasing," April said.

"We know that Tomiko isn't a fishing boat, but we would like to take her fishing once in a while. From what I've read about fishing for swordfish, you have to go out to very deep water and fish at night. Tomiko will be perfect for that," Jack said.

"It's your boat," Jeri said.

"That's true, but you're the captain, Jeri. We depend on you and April to do what's best for Tomiko," Jack said. Tom, Sally, and Kim nodded.

Jeri glanced at April. They smiled at each other, both of them feeling happy about the fact the teenagers were open to suggestions and advice.

"We're going to head over to Sid's Tackle Shop. I'm taking the limo if it's okay," Jack said.

"Go ahead, Jack," Marge said.

The teens left for Sid's shop. Jack drove, following Eddie's directions. When they arrived, they all went into the store.

"Hi, is Sid here?" Eddie said to a woman he didn't recognize.

"Yes, he's in the back with one of the reps. He should be free in a little while. Can I help you?" the woman said.

"We need to talk to Sid. Would you please let him know that the team from Lady Guinevere is here?" Eddie replied. "We can wait, but we want him to know we're here, please."

The woman went into the backroom. A moment later, Sid, the woman, and another woman came out.

"Hi, guys, how are you doing today?" Sid said. He shook hands with each of the teens.

"Great, Sid. We didn't mean to interrupt you," Brad said.

"No problem, Brad. I wanted you to meet Judy Mansfield. Judy, this is the Lady Guinevere fishing team," Sid said.

Judy moved from one teen to the next. She introduced herself and learned each of their names.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I've read about you and your success," Judy said.

"I'd also like you kids to meet my daughter, Jodie McBride. Jodie and my grandson moved down here last week," Sid said. "She's going to be working with me."

Once they finished the introductions, Sid offered everyone sodas and coffee. Jodie poured coffee for Jack, Sally, Brad, and Eddie. The rest of the group asked for soda.

"Judy, I wanted to know if Ande Line has any information on fish mortality as it pertains to line strength. We want to try to get our club to change the rules and let us use heavier line," Sally said.

Smiling, Judy said, "Yes we do. In fact, we have a very nice video presentation that deals with the subject. I'd be happy to arrange to have it shown at one of your meetings."

"That would be great! Can you do it tomorrow night? We have a meeting and we want to bring it up then," Sally said.

Chuckling at Sally's enthusiasm, Judy said, "I think I can pull it off, but there is a condition."

"What?" Sally said.

"Well, Ande Line would like to become one of your sponsors. We feel that having your team using our product would be good for business," Judy said. "Did you know that Ande Line has over thirteen hundred IGFA world records to its credit? Our tournament series line is used by more professional fishermen than any other line."

Sally turned to the rest of the team. "What do you guys think? Do we want another sponsor?"

"That will depend on what they want from us," Eddie said.

"We want you to use our product exclusively and put our name on your boat. We sponsor several tournaments and we'll expect you to fish in a few of them. We know you have school and we promise we won't interfere with your educations," Judy said.

"We already use Ande Line," Jenny said.

"I know, Sid told me. You won't have to pay for it," Judy said. "We also request that you test new products for us."

"Give us a few minutes," Eddie said. He pointed toward the door and the team went outside.

"I thought they'd jump at the offer," Judy told Sid.

Chuckling, Sid said, "They don't do anything without a meeting. If one of them is uncomfortable with your offer, they won't do it. I should let you know that they won't allow anyone to tell them how to fish. When Andy Nester approached them, they made him put that in the agreement."

"They're smart for a bunch of kids, aren't they?" Judy said.

"You have no idea, Judy," Sid said and then he laughed.

The teens came back into the store. Eddie and Jack moved closer to Judy. "We've talked it over and we'll do it provided you don't try to tell us how to fish. We do very well now. If you'll send us the agreement, we'll have our attorney take a look at it," Eddie said.

Sally moved next to Jack. "We're also planning to produce a television show and a set of instructional videos. If we do, and the show is successful, we'll want to renegotiate the agreement. We'll expect more than free fishing line," Sally said.

Judy glanced at Sid. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "Sally, do you mind if I ask how old you are?"

"No, I'm fifteen. I'll be sixteen in August," Sally said.

"You could have fooled me!" Judy said. "I agree with you. If you do produce a show, and it gets aired, we'll renegotiate our agreement."

"Please have someone put that in writing for us," Sally said.

Judy couldn't help laughing. "Okay, but I have the authority to make the deal. I'm the vice president of Ande. Oh, and my dad owns the company."

Sally smiled. "Should we be talking to your dad then?"

Judy shook her head as she laughed. "I hope you don't plan to become an attorney. I'm very sure that if you decide to let, I can't believe I'm saying that, Ande sponsor you, you'll all meet my dad. I have a copy of our standard agreement in my case. Would you like to take it with you?"

"Yes, please. So, will you be in town long enough to come to our meeting tomorrow night?" Sally said.

"Sally, I promise I'll be there. By the way, our offices and plant are here in West Palm Beach, Florida," Judy said.

"Thank you. We have our meetings at the Bahia Mar hotel in Fort Lauderdale," Sally said.

"Okay, we'll see you there tomorrow night," Judy said. "Thanks for the order, Sid. I'll talk to you later."

Judy left the shop after giving Sally a copy of the Ande sponsor agreement and saying goodbye to each of the teens. Jack commented on the fact she remembered each of their names.

"Okay, now what can I do for you?" Sid said.

"We want to outfit a boat, Sid. We need everything," Tom said.

"That can mean many things. Let's sit down so you can tell me what you have in mind," Sid said. "Jodie, I think we're going to need more soda and coffee."

The teens and Sid sat at the large round table in his backroom. Jack, Tom, Eddie, and Brad began telling Sid what they wanted. An hour later, Sid sat back, looking at his notes.

"Okay, I think I have my list. I don't have everything in stock, but it won't take long to get it. I assume you'll want Shimano rods and reels," Sid said.

"Yes, we want to make sure we have the best of everything," Kim said.

"I didn't know you were getting another boat," Sid said.

"The equipment is for our yacht. It's so our charter clients can fish if they want to," Jack said.

Sid nodded, but didn't question Jack. "Is there anything else you can think of?"

"No, but if you think there's something we need, make sure we have it. The yacht doesn't have any tackle yet. We'll need gaffs and tools too," Tom said.

Sid reviewed the list again. He added a few items, telling the teens what he thought they missed. "It's going to take a while for me to price this. Do you want to wait?"

"No, we trust you, Sid. Give us a call once you have the number. Oh, and this has nothing to do with the fishing team," Jack said.

Sid moved his order book aside. "I have a favor to ask you guys. As I told you, my daughter and grandson have moved down here. They're staying with me for the time being. My grandson is interested in fishing and I was wondering if you'd consider taking him out one of these days."

Eddie glanced around the table at his teammates. All of the teens nodded their heads.

"Sure, anytime we're going out, Sid," Eddie said.

"Thanks, I'll introduce Trent to you soon," Sid said with a smile.

"Why don't you bring him to the club meeting tomorrow night? We can meet him and he can meet some of the other kids. I know how much moving and not knowing anyone sucks. Sally, Kim, Tom, and I went through that in Michigan," Jack said.

"That sounds like a good idea, Jack. I'll talk to Trent tonight and let him know. By the way, he's sixteen. Trent will be seventeen this July," Sid said.

Jodie walked over to the table. "Thank you for offering to meet Trent. The last couple of years have been very hard for him. Trent's father passed away and he's still having trouble accepting it. He's been withdrawn since the funeral."

"My grandson is a good boy. He's just lost without his father. We're hoping that the move will help him," Sid said.

"Trent started hanging around with the wrong crowd in our home town. I know that moving isn't the answer, but I needed some help. Dad offered to take us in and give me a job," Jodie said.

"We don't like trouble, Mrs. McBride. None of us drinks, smokes, or do drugs. If Trent wants to do those things, he won't be happy with us," Kathy said.

"I don't think he does drugs, but he started smoking. I know he drank before we moved," Jodie said. She looked at the teens for a reaction.

"I used to smoke and drink too, but I quit when I started hanging around with Eddie, Kathy, Brad, and Jenny. If anyone can help him quit, they can," Molly said.

A buzzer went off, indicating someone entered the store. Sid stood up, thanked the teens, and walked out front. Jodie said goodbye and went out to help her father.

"That Trent kid sounds like trouble," Jenny said after everyone got into the limo. Then she giggled and added, "I'm not going to prejudge him though. Look how wrong I was about you guys."

"Oh yeah, I remember that you didn't want to meet Jack, Kim, Tom, or Sally because you were sure they were spoiled brats," Brad said.

"That's us," Sally said with a giggle.

"Hey, I admitted I was wrong—didn't I?" Jenny said.

Jack drove to the house. The teens got out and went inside to tell Jeri and April about the tackle they ordered. The five women sat on the patio talking.

The teens told the women about the trip to the tackle shop. After listing off the tackle they ordered for Tomiko, they told the women about meeting Judy and the offer from Ande Line.

"We have to get going," Jenny said. "I promised Mom that I would clean the house and Eddie has to cut the lawn. We'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Would you guys mind if we wore our fishing outfits to the meeting tomorrow?" Sally said. "I think it would show unity when we talk about changing the rules."

"I think that's a good idea, Sally. We can meet here and go to the meeting together if you want to," Kathy said.

"We'll plan dinner for everyone. Tell your parents to come too," Marge said.

Kathy, Brad, Jenny, and Eddie left for home. Sally excused herself, telling everyone she wanted to work on the information she'd gathered. Molly stood up, gave Tom a kiss, and followed Sally to the guesthouse.

"I'm going to take a swim and get some sun," Kim said. She went to the pool, removing her clothes when she got to the lounges. Kim walked into the water and began swimming laps.

"Sally, can I talk to you for a few minutes?" Molly said. Sally nodded as she put her notebook computer on the table.

"I want to ask you about your relationship with Jack. Do you like it?" Molly asked.

"I love it. Why do you ask?"

"I asked Tom to do the same thing with me."

Sally giggled. "I'll bet that didn't go over very well with my brother." Molly shrugged her shoulders. "It took a while for me to convince Jack it's what I wanted. He's learning, but Jack isn't there yet. What do you expect from Tom?"

"I want him to be strong for me, Sally. I want Tom to tell me what he wants like Jack tells you."

Sally closed the lid of her notebook. She smiled at Molly and said, "Do you know what you want? I mean, do you really know? And, if Tom agrees, are you willing to do what he tells you to do?"

"Yes. I love Tom and want to make him happy," Molly said.

"Tom's already happy. He loves you. Why do you want Tom to own you? That's what you want, isn't it? Jack owns me and I'll do whatever he tells me to do. When I don't, he spanks me." Sally giggled. "I like being bad."

"You like it when he spanks you?" Molly said.

"No, I love it! Listen, Jack doesn't hurt me when he paddles my ass. I don't know why, but it turns me on when he does it. Jack tried humiliating me once, but that didn't work out. He couldn't do it and be happy."

"What did he do?" Molly said.

"Jack put a collar and a leash on me. He led me into a party we had at our house. I thought it was fun, but Jack didn't. He still uses the leash, but only when we're alone. We're finding a balance, Molly. We're learning together. You didn't answer my question, why?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Molly said, "I'm not sure, but I do know that it's what I want. I guess it has something to do with the fact I grew up without a dad."

Shaking her head, Sally said, "You can't expect Tom to take the place of your dad. He's your lover and your friend, not your father. This may sound stupid, but Jack and I are equals. While I'll do anything he tells me to, I know he won't do anything that will hurt me or embarrass me."

"I have a hard time understanding how you can be so smart yet so dependant on Jack. I don't know anyone that's as smart as you are," Molly said.

"Being smart is easy. All you have to do is study things you're interested in and have a little common sense. I'm well read and I do a lot of research," Sally said.

"Is that how you learned about being submissive?"

"No, being a sub to Jack is just easier for me. While I can make my own decisions, I love it when Jack makes them for me. I love the way he tells me what to wear or what we'll do."

"What about sex?" Molly said.

"What about it? I love sex! Jack is a great lover. He makes my motor run whenever he smiles at me."

"I guess I meant how do you feel about having sex with someone else when Jack tells you to?"

"If Jack is happy, I'm happy too. As I said, I love sex. I also love making love with Jack. He can be so tender and sweet. Jack makes love to me in so many ways I can't list them all. You know, making love doesn't mean you have to fuck—you don't even have to get naked. It's the way he holds me. The way he looks into my eyes. The way he tells me he loves me."

"Has he ever told you to do something you didn't want to do?"

"I can't think of anything he could tell me to do that I wouldn't do. I know he's not going to tell me to jump in front of a truck or make me get a tattoo I don't want. Being a sub is about trust. I trust Jack completely."

"How can I get Tom to..."

"To own you? To be dominate?" Sally said as she fingered the gold collar around her neck. "I don't know, but I'll talk to Tom if you'd like. He might not listen, but I can try to tell him how I feel."

"Don't you mean how I feel?" Molly said.

"No, Tom knows how you feel and what you want. You told him, right?" Molly nodded. "Maybe if he knows how I feel, how Jack makes me feel, he'll think about it for you. Don't forget, if Tom agrees, you have to be ready."

"What happens if you decide that you don't want the relationship with Jack?"

"Then I tell him. I cut off his collar and give it back to him. Molly, I'm not trapped. I'm where I am because I want to be there. Have you done any research on the subject?"

"No, do you think I should?" Molly replied.

Shrugging her shoulders, Sally said, "It doesn't matter what I think, Molly. It's what you think that matters."

Molly nodded as she thought about what Sally said. "This morning, I went to Tom's room at six o'clock. When he woke up, he told me to get undressed and get into bed. Then he went back to sleep."

Smiling, Sally said, "Maybe my brother is trying."

"What would you do if you wanted to fool around with one of us, but Jack didn't tell you to do it?"

"I wouldn't do it unless he said it was okay. I might ask him, but if he said no, I wouldn't do it. This isn't a part time thing for me, Molly. I'm Jack's every minute and in every way. I didn't agree to his terms with my eyes half closed."

"Have you ever thought you'd made a mistake?"

"Never!" Sally said firmly.

"Thanks, Sally. Um, would you mind talking to Tom for me?"

"Sure, whenever you're ready. Just make sure it's what you want before you ask Tom to do it. You have to understand that it's going to be hard for him at first—that is if he even agrees. You have to be patient and guide Tom so he understands what you expect. If you think about it, the sub has to be stronger than the Dom. You have to be able to trust your Dom and do what you're told without question."

Molly stood up. Sally jumped off her chair, put her arms around Molly, and gave her a hug. "Just think of the fun we'll have if Tom agrees! Our men will be able to make us do all the things we love."

"Do you think Jack would be upset if I kissed you?" Molly said.

Giggling, Sally said, "If he is, he can spank me." Sally and Molly shared a brief, but very tender kiss.

Sally sat down, opened her notebook computer, and went to work on her project. She grinned as she thought about the things she and Molly discussed.

Molly left and went to the main house. She asked where he mom was and went to the recreation room when Marge told her that Laura was there.

"Hi, Mom," Molly said when she walked into the recreation room.

Laura stopped cleaning the windows and turned around. "Hi, Honey, what's up?"

"Not much, I was just talking with Sally."

"What are you two girls up to?"

Molly shrugged her shoulders. "Mom, do you know about Jack and Sally's relationship?" Laura nodded. "What do you think about it?"

Laura took Molly's hand. She led her to one of the couches, sitting down next to her daughter. "I think that if it's what they want, it's fine. Why?"

"I asked Tom to do the same thing with me. Do you think I'm wrong?"

"Do you think it's wrong?"

"Why does everyone keep answering my questions with questions?"

"What do you want? Do you expect anyone to tell you that you should or shouldn't do it? Molly, if that's what you and Tom want, nothing I or anyone else says will change your mind. You're asking me to answer a question only you can answer."

Laura gazed into her daughter's eyes. "Molly, if your real question is if I'd approve—I would, provided you aren't forced into something you don't want. I can't live your life for you anymore than you can live mine. You're old enough to make your own decisions and mistakes. I will support you and love you regardless."

"Thanks, Mom. I think I'm beginning to understand. What time are we going home?" Molly said.

"We'll leave in a little while," Laura said. Standing up, she went back to the window.

Molly left the recreation room. She went outside, saw Kim by the pool, and walked over to her. Kim glanced up, smiling when she saw Molly removing her top and bra.

"Mind if I join you?" Molly said.

"Of course not," Kim said.

Stretching out on the lounge chair next to Kim's, Molly removed her shorts and panties. She put her arms over her head, stretching as the sun warmed her body. Molly closed her eyes and thought about the things she'd learned. She realized that her mom was right and only she and Tom could decide how to life their lives. Now all she needed to do is convince Tom.

Jack and Tom came out of the new building near the seawall. The two boys talked about how they wanted to set up the exercise equipment when it arrived. They walked over to where Kim and Molly sat and said, "Hi," startling the two girls.

Molly and Kim sat up giggling. "You scared the crap out of me," Kim said.

"Tom and I looked at the building." Jack pointed toward the canal. "We can fit all of our exercise equipment in there with room to spare."

"That's cool. We need to get back into a routine," Kim said.

"No kidding. With Molly's mom's baking, we're going to get chubby if we don't," Tom said.

"I can tell Mom to stop," Molly said.

"That won't be necessary. I don't mind working out," Tom said. Jack, Kim, Tom, and Molly laughed at what Tom said.

"Put your clothes on, I want to go talk to our moms," Tom said to Molly.

Molly stood up and began dressing. Kim glanced at Tom, smiling when he winked at her. Taking Molly's hand, Tom led her toward the house.

"Is Tom doing what I think he's doing?" Kim asked her brother.

"If you think he's going to change things between him and Molly, you're right."

Kim nodded. "Have you talked to him?"

"Yeah, I told Tom to go for it if it's what Molly wants. They can always stop if it doesn't work out between them," Jack said.

"I hope it works out for both of them, no matter what it is they decide," Kim said. "I used to think you and Sally were crazy, but now I know that you two do it because it's what you want. I know you do it out of love."

Tom opened the door for Molly. They went into the house to find Anne and Laura. Their moms sat at the kitchen table drinking coffee and talking.

"Mom, Mrs. Durham, I'd like to talk to you for a minute," Tom said when the women acknowledged him and Molly.

"Would you like me to leave?" Marge said.

"No, you can stay Aunt Marge. I'd like to know if it would be okay for Molly to stay overnight with me once in a while," Tom said.

Laura fought the urge to chuckle. "It's okay with me, Tom. What do you think, Anne?"

"That's fine," Anne said.

"Great. Is it okay if Molly keeps some clothes here too? When she stays, she'll need clean clothes," Tom said.

"Yes, that's fine too," Laura said. Anne nodded.

"Thanks, Mrs. Durham. Thanks, Mom. Come with me, Molly," Tom said.

"What was that all about?" Anne said after Tom and Molly left the room.

"I think Tom has decided to do what Molly asked him to do. She wants a relationship like Jack and Sally's. She asked me about it earlier today," Laura said.

"Is it something you can accept?" Anne said.

"Yes it is. As I told Molly, it's her decision. If she falls, I'll be there for her, but she has to make her own choices. Frankly, I think it's going to be fine. Tom isn't the type of young man that would hurt anyone," Laura said.

"That's very true. I'm wondering how he's going to be able to handle it. Tom isn't as strong as Jack is," Anne said.

"Don't be too sure about that, Sis. I think the boys are alike in many respects. Hopefully they'll all learn together. It takes time, but once they sort it out I think things will be fine," Marge said.

"Laura, you do realize that Tom will probably want to get a collar for Molly, don't you?" Anne said.

Chuckling, Laura said, "I think that Molly will want to get the collar as much, if not more, than Tom will. She isn't going to be different from Sally if she can help it."

Tom led Molly to the guesthouse. They paused to say hi to Sally before Tom took Molly to his room. He wrapped his arms around Molly, hugging her to his body.

"I love you, Sweetie, you know that don't you?" Tom said.

"Yes," Molly replied.

"Do you love me?"

"Yes, Tom. I love you unconditionally," Molly said as she looked into his eyes.

"Molly, I'll do my best to be what you want. I won't physically hurt you or intentionally humiliate you, but I will expect you to do what I tell you to do. This isn't going to be on again off again. If you agree, we—both of us—are in it for the long haul. Is that clear?"

Molly nodded.

"Molly, these are my terms. You can accept them as they are or not. It's entirely up to you. When you say, 'Tom, I give myself to you, ' it begins. When you say, 'Tom, I take back my life, ' it ends. Think about it and let me know your decision," Tom said. Jack gave him a piece of paper with the words he'd used with Sally. Tom committed them to memory.

Tears filled Molly's eyes. As much as she wished Tom would take her as his, she didn't think it would come to fruition. Now, Tom wanted her to think about it. Molly thought about it so often lately that she already knew her answer.

"Tom, I give myself to you." Molly said. "I give you my heart and soul."

"Okay. Molly, I love you and now I own you. You will do as I say when I say until you tell me that you don't want me to own you anymore. Is that acceptable to you?"

"Yes, Tom."

Tom wrapped Molly in a tight hug. He moved her to the bed, lowered her to the mattress, and slid in next to her. They kissed as they writhed on the bed. Tom started removing Molly's clothing and she began removing his. They managed to strip while maintaining their heated kisses.

Molly let out a moan as Tom stroked her sex. She opened her legs and pulled his body to hers. Tom moved between Molly's splayed legs, gripped his penis, and slid it into her vagina. Molly gasped as he stretched her. She shoved her hips up, trying to get closer to Tom.

Rising to his knees, Tom looked down at Molly. She grinned as he moved his penis in and out of her. Moving his hands from the bed, Tom covered Molly's breasts. He massaged her mounds, pinching her nipples between his thumbs and forefingers.

"Oh God, Tom, fuck me! Fuck me and make me your woman!" Molly cried out.

Tom moved his hands from Molly's breasts to behind her knees. He pushed her legs up, placing them on his shoulders. Leaning forward, Tom pounded his penis into Molly. Each time his hips met her upturned bottom, Molly let out a grunt.

Feeling he could go on forever, Tom pulled out and told Molly to get on her hands and knees. He shoved his penis back into her vagina, slamming his hips against her butt. Molly pushed back, fucking Tom as hard as he fucked her. Molly's breasts swayed and she gasped from the intense thrusting. Tom wrapped her long red ponytail around his hand, pulling back. Molly's head came up and she groaned. Tom was careful not to pull too hard, just enough to let her know he was doing it.

Reaching under Molly's bucking body, Tom stroked her clit. The added stimulation pushed her closer to orgasm. Molly's continuous groans raised several octaves, turning to screams of pleasure. Tom's vibrating fingertips on her clit caused her to climax. Her vagina contracted around his penis, her toes curled, and she chanted a series of staccato yeses.

Tom pulled his penis out of Molly's quivering vagina. She groaned when she felt the emptiness. Tom moved in front of Molly. He gripped her hair, turned her face up, and pushed his penis against her lips. Molly gasped for air, but managed to take Tom's member onto her mouth. She clamped her lips around his shaft, moaning softly. Tom held the sides of Molly's head. He rocked his hips, fucking his lover's face. Molly fought the urge to gag when Tom's glans hit the back of her throat. She sucked him in each time Tom moved forward.

Unable to hold back any longer, Tom pulled his penis from Molly's sucking mouth. He gripped her hair, keeping her face pointing forward. Stroking his member, Tom ejaculated. His semen splattered against Molly's face. Molly opened her mouth as wide as she could, hoping to taste his hot semen. After three or four strong spurts, Tom pushed his penis back into Molly's mouth. She sucked so hard that Tom told her take it easy.

When Tom removed his softening penis from her mouth, Molly sprang at him. She threw her arms around his neck, pressing her body against his chest. Tom held Molly as she cried tears of joy. She had never felt as wanted or loved in her life. Tom marked her with his semen, making her his. He'd given Molly exactly what she wanted. The unbridled sex fueled her desire to be Tom's woman. Molly resolved that, from that moment forward, she would truly be his.

"Thank you, Sweetie. I love you so much," Molly said between sobs.

"I love you too, Molly. Now, go clean up," Tom said.

Pulling her head back, she smiled and said, "Do I have to? Can't I wear your cum forever?"

Tom couldn't help chuckling. He kissed Molly; ignoring the fact his semen covered her face and lips. Molly's subservient behavior produced a euphoric feeling for Tom. Not only had his love for Molly moved up several notches, a feeling of empowerment did too.

"No, but I'll make sure you have as much cum as you can handle," Tom said with a chuckle.

Tom slipped off the bed. He took Molly by the hand, pulled her to her feet, and led her into the bathroom. They showered together, enjoying the closeness in the stall.

Molly and Tom dressed. They remained quiet, each lost in their own thoughts. The two lovers were trying to digest everything that happened over the past hour.

On their way through the house, Tom and Molly saw Sally sitting at the table with her notebook computer. Sally looked up, smiling the moment she saw Molly. "Tom, may I talk to Molly for a minute?"

"Yeah, go ahead," Tom replied.

Sally got up. She moved in front of Molly, wrapping her arms around her. "Are you happy?" Sally said knowingly.

"Yes, Sally, I'm very happy," Molly replied. For reasons unknown, Molly knew exactly what Sally asked.

Sally hugged Molly. Glancing at Tom, she grinned when her brother nodded. "You're so lucky! I know I am."

Molly sighed. Sally released her and giggled. "Maybe someday Jack and Tom will let us play together."

Molly giggled. Sally released her, returning to her chair. Tom started for the door, followed by Molly. They went though the main house on their way to the pool. Molly glanced at her mom, grinning when Laura looked at her.

"I have a feeling Molly got what she wanted," Anne said. "She looks just like Sally did when Jack took her."

"Now what?" Laura said as she watched Tom and Molly walking toward Jack and Kim.

"Now it's up to you, Laura. Molly is your daughter," Anne replied.

"What did you do?"

"First, my situation is a bit different from yours. I know exactly how Molly feels right now. She is on cloud nine. Molly is willing to do whatever Tom tells her to do. When Sally gave herself to Jack, I decided to let the cards fall how they may.

"I keep my eyes open so I know what's going on, but as far as Sally goes, Jack calls the shots. Sally can come to me or Marge if she needs her questions answered, but only after Jack gives her permission. Marc feels the same way and lets Jack take care of Sally's needs. My husband and I trust Jack. We're sure he'll treat our daughter well," Anne said.

"When Jack is at a loss, he comes to us for guidance. He talks to Don and sometimes Marc. My son is very much in love with Sally, just as Tom is with Molly. I wouldn't worry, Laura. The kids are smart and they'll do the right thing," Marge said.

"So, does that mean you let Jack decide what Sally can and can't do?" Laura said. Marge and Anne nodded. "You don't worry?"

"No, in fact, I feel better about things now that Jack and Sally are in the relationship. Let's face it; our kids spend more time together than they do with us. I know that Jack would never let any harm come to Sally.

"It's going to take time for Tom and Molly to sort things out. They will develop their own boundaries. Molly will let Tom know what she expects from him and he'll give her what she needs," Anne said.

"You make it sound as if Molly has more control over the relationship than Tom does," Laura said.

"The sub has to be very strong. A sub has to put their complete trust in their Dom," Anne said.

"I don't know what to do. Should I let Tom take over as far as Molly's concerned?" Laura said.

Anne and Marge looked at Laura and chuckled.

"I know, I know, it's a question only I can answer—isn't it?" Laura said. "Okay then, would it be okay with you, Anne? After all, we're in this together, aren't we?"

"Yes, I'm fine with it, Laura. As I said, I understand what's happening," Anne replied.

"I guess you would, being that Sally is in the relationship with Jack," Laura said.

"That's partly true. I know because I'm in the same relationship," Anne replied.

"With Marc?"

"No, Don is my Dom."

Laura's mouth opened, but nothing came out. Marge and Anne chuckled.

"Laura, Anne, and I have been Don's subs for years," Marge said.

"I would have never known," Laura said softly.

"That's right; you wouldn't unless we told you. That's why I keep telling you that I don't worry about Jack and Sally. I'm sure that you'll understand soon, Laura," Anne said.

"I have a lot to think about, don't I?"

"You have a decision to make, Laura. Don't forget, you can always change your mind if you think things aren't working out between Tom and Molly. I can tell you it will be very hard on Molly if she's trying to please two people. It'll put her between a rock and a hard place.

"Molly is trying to find herself. Right now, she feels that Tom can give her what she needs. If you pull her in a different direction, Molly won't know what to do. You're her mom and she loves you, Laura. That's not going to change. She loves Tom too, but it's different," Anne said. "Don't you remember how it felt to be a teenager and be madly in love?"

"Yes, I remember that my heart was broken several times," Laura replied.

"Did that stop you?" Marge asked.

"Hell no!" The three women laughed.

Laura looked outside. She saw Molly sitting with Kim, Tom, and Jack. As she watched her daughter talking with her friends, Laura thought about everything Anne and Marge said. She knew that there would come a time that Molly would leave the nest, but she didn't think it would happen so soon. Besides, she wasn't leaving home.

Molly was a few weeks short of her seventeenth birthday. Smiling, Laura remembered that by the time she turned seventeen, she had Molly. She also realized that, while hard, she and Molly did well and that things worked out for them.

Sighing, Laura decided that it wasn't the end of the world if Molly looked to Tom instead of her. Laura would let Molly know that she would always be her mother and that she would always love her daughter. Laura also realized that Marge and Anne were right about whom Molly spent most of her time with lately. That, and the fact that Laura worked for the families, and would be around, made her decision easier.

Laura thought about the first time she met Molly's new friends. She smiled, remembering how Eddie's, and the rest of the kids', honesty surprised her. As she met the parents and the folks from Michigan, her life changed too. Laura gave up her affair with Bill, a married man that served a purpose, but was headed nowhere. She agreed to marry Joel and Molly accepted her stepfather to be with open arms. Laura loved her new job and the freedoms the Graham and Lewis families gave her.

Laura knew that Molly and Tom's relationship was new for both of them. She knew that there was no way she, or anyone else, could predict how long the budding relationship would last. The one thing Laura knew, and the most important thing, was that Molly was happier than she'd ever been. Laura welcomed Molly's rapid transformation from a young girl, headed for trouble, to what she was becoming. Her daughter quit smoking and started taking care of herself—physically and emotionally. So, if Molly wanted to 'give herself' to Tom, how bad could it be?

Smiling to herself, Laura knew that there were girls, girls Molly's age, that made decisions that were much worse than the one Molly seemingly made. She knew of other girls that took a path that led to drug use, unwanted pregnancy, and things that Laura didn't want to think about where it concerned her daughter. Laura had once worried that Molly was heading in the wrong direction when she dated Lenny, but that was no longer a concern.

Then, Laura thought about her upcoming marriage to Joel. She loved him and knew that she would do whatever it took to make Joel happy. Laura also knew she wouldn't deny Joel. She would do anything he asked her to do as long as it was legal or didn't cause her harm. How was that different from the relationship Molly wanted with Tom?

"Are you still with us, Laura?" Marge said.

Chuckling, Laura nodded. "I was thinking about Molly."

"You know she'll be okay, don't you?" Anne said. "As I said, Tom would never hurt her."

"I know. That's why I'm going to accept what Molly wants," Laura said. "Well, I guess I should get going. I have a few things to do at home."

"Okay, we'll see you in the morning. By the way, Anne and I are very grateful for the way you're taking care of the house and for your wonderful baking. Please don't feel you have to bake for us, it isn't part of the job," Marge said.

"I bake for the same reason I clean your house. I love it!" Laura said.

Laura got up. She walked outside and toward the pool. Molly saw her mom coming, got up, and said, "Is it time to go, Mom?"

"I don't know, Molly," Laura replied. "I'm going home, but I don't know what you're going to do." Molly furrowed her brow. Laura smiled. "Have you asked Tom what he wants you to do?"

Molly's mouth began to move, but no sound came out. She looked at her mom, smiling when Laura winked. Molly turned around, moving toward Tom, Jack, and Kim.

"Um, Mom is going home. What do you want me to do?" Molly said to Tom.

Tom stood up. He put his arms around Molly and gazed into her eyes. "You go home with your mom today. When you come back in the morning, bring some clothing to keep here. If I'm asleep when you get here, just get into bed," Tom said and then he kissed Molly. "I love you, Sweetie."

"I love you too, Tom. I'll see you in the morning." Molly looked past Tom at Kim and Jack. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye, Molly, see you tomorrow," Kim said. Jack also said goodbye.

Tom released Molly after giving her another kiss. He walked with Molly and Laura as they headed to the house. After saying goodbye to Marge and Anne, the three of them went outside.

"Can I say goodbye to Sally?" Molly asked Tom. He nodded and Molly giggled.

Molly went to the guesthouse. She went inside to tell Sally that she would see her the next day. Sally gave Molly a hug, smiled, and said, "See you later, Molly." Sally and Molly took a few moments to talk about the fishing club meeting.

"I won't hurt her, Mrs. Durham. I love Molly," Tom said.

"Yes, I know you do, Tom. After talking with your mom and Aunt Marge, I've decided that Molly is free to do what she wants concerning your relationship. You're in charge of her now," Laura said.

"Um, thanks, but you're her mom," Tom said.

"Yes, and I always will be. I love Molly more than anything in the world. Tom, I trust both of you to do the right things in life. I know that things change over time. I also know that the relationship between you and Molly may not last forever. No matter what you two do, make sure that you don't regret your choices."

"Do you think we're doing the right thing?" Tom asked.

"Molly came to me with the same question. I'll give you the same answer I gave her. It isn't important what I think—what's important is what you two think. You two have to make your own decisions and live with those decisions. Your parents and I will always be here if you want to talk," Laura said.

"Thanks, Mrs. Durham," Tom replied.

Molly came bouncing out of the house. Tom held his arms open for her and she pressed herself against his chest. "I'll see you tomorrow, Baby," Tom said.

"Okay, I'll be here," Molly said. She kissed Tom. "I love you!"

"I love you too." Tom let go of Molly so she could leave. After Laura pulled away, Tom went into the house.

"Mom, do I have time to go shopping before dinner?" Tom said.

"Yes, you have a couple hours. Where are you going?" Anne replied.

"I want to go to a jeweler's. I want to get something for Molly."

Anne and Marge chuckled. They didn't have to ask what Tom wanted to get for his girlfriend.

"I have to call dad to make sure I can spend some money," Tom said.

"No you don't. You get what you want," Anne said. "You have your credit card."

"Thanks, Mom," Tom said. He went to the pool to talk to Jack.

Tom asked Jack to go with him. The two boys went through the house to let their moms know they were leaving. Tom drove while Jack sat in the front seat with him. On the way, Tom asked Jack several questions. He wanted to know how to make Molly happy.

"Do you still tell Sally what to wear?" Tom asked Jack.

"Yeah, I do most of the time. She really likes it when I do."

"Do you think I should do the same thing with Molly?"

Jack chuckled and said, "She'll let you know, Tom. By the way, I told Sally that when we're fishing, she doesn't have to ask me if it's okay to do things. You might want to give Molly the same freedom."

Tom nodded. He drove to Worth Street, found a jewelry store, and parked the Suburban. He and Jack walked into the store. They walked up to the counter, standing there waiting for someone to help them.

"How can I help you two?" The saleswoman stood behind the counter looking at Jack and Tom.

"I'm interested in something for my girlfriend. I'm looking for a collar," Tom replied. He felt nervous making the strange request.

"I see. We have a few things that may suit your need. Give me a moment," The classy woman said. She went into the back of the store, returning with a case.

The saleswoman placed the case on the counter, opening it toward the two boys. "May I ask who referred you?"

"No one referred us. We saw the store and came in. Why?" Tom said.

"We don't get much walk-in traffic for items like these. In fact, we are the only jewelry shop in West Palm that caters to people that need collars," the woman said with a smile. "I have to say that we've never had someone as young as you shopping for one of these.

"Now, if you don't see anything you like, we can custom design anything you want. These are all unique. Our jeweler designed them and we never repeat a pattern. If you'll notice, there is an area for a name or initial."

Leaning over, Tom looked at selection of gold necklaces. He studied the designs, noting the intricate work. When the woman told Tom he could touch them, he picked one up. The half-inch gold band felt very delicate. He noted the subtle design woven into the strands of gold. Much like his sister's collar, this one contained tiny figures. Each of the figures knelt facing the area where Tom's initial would go. The girls in the design held their heads up with their hands folded in front of them. There was one girl on each side of the blank area.

Tom looked over each of the collars. On some of them, the figures depicted girls in bondage or other humiliating positions. After reviewing all of the gold collars, Tom returned to the first one he examined.

"What do you think, Jack?" Tom asked.

"I like that one too. Some of them are too far-out for me," Jack replied. "You want her to wear it with pride, don't you?"

"Yeah, I sure do," Tom replied. He glanced at the woman. "How long will it take to have my initial added?"

"We can have it ready in an hour or so. Do you want a clasp?" the woman said. Tom shook his head. "Okay, what initial or do you want a name?"

"Can you put two initials on it?" Tom asked. The woman nodded. "I'd like TL put on it."

"When would it be convenient for you to bring your sub in?" the woman asked. She smiled at Tom's reaction. "She must be your first."

"Um, yeah. We can be here tomorrow if that's okay," Tom replied.

"That's fine. It'll be ready anytime after ten o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll need a deposit before I can add the initials," the woman said.

Tom took his credit card out of his wallet. Handing it to the woman, he said, "I'll pay for it now. If my girlfriend wants something different, will I receive any credit for this one?"

"She will love it, Sir. Trust me," the woman replied with a smile.

After completing the transaction, Tom and Jack left the store. On the way home, Tom said, "I hope Molly likes it."

Laughing, Jack said, "You're kidding, right? You know that Molly is going to love it. Tom, it's the thought, not the jewelry that counts. If Molly feels the way I think she does about you, she's going to go ape-shit! I know that Sally did."

"Some of those collars were weird, weren't they?" Tom said.

"Yeah, but some people are into that. They practice BDSM. I read about that crap when I researched Dom/sub relationships. I could never do anything like that. I guess a little mild bondage is okay, you know, tying Sally up and fooling around. That pain and humiliation crap isn't me."

"Yeah, it isn't me either. I could never hurt Molly. I've done a little reading, but it's obvious I need to do more."

"Tom, I've found that with Sally, it's all about love. I've learned to enjoy telling Sally what I want because she loves it. Don't worry about too much right now. As I said before, you and Molly will sort it out. What works for Sally and me might not work for you and Molly," Jack said. He laughed. Reaching over, he put his hand on Tom's shoulder. "Trust me. Molly will let you know what she wants."

"You keep saying that. I always thought you were the dominant part of your relationship with my sister. I guess I was wrong."

"No, I am the dominant member of our relationship. I tell her to do exactly what she wants me to tell her."

Tom smiled. He began realizing that what Molly wanted might not be too hard for him to provide her.

"I've read about many Dom/sub lifestyles. Most of them are what they call scenes. The couples play out the scenes, but they don't live that way. Many of them involve bondage and discipline too. That doesn't work for me," Jack said.

"I guess I need to do some reading too," Tom said.

"Yup, wouldn't hurt. When are you planning to take Molly to the jewelers?" Jack said.

"Tomorrow morning. I want to give her the collar as soon as I can," Tom replied.

Jack nodded. He smiled as he remembered Sally's excitement when he gave her the collar.

After dinner, Tom went to his room. He rearranged a few drawers in the dresser to make room for Molly's clothes. He also made sure there was ample room in his closet. Next, Tom went to his bathroom. He looked around, wondering if Molly would have the same things on the counter and in the drawers that Kim did when they shared a room.

Tom sat on his bed with his notebook computer. He began searching the internet for information on dominance and submission. As he read the articles he found, Tom realized that his relationship with Molly didn't have to be the stereotypical BDSM lifestyle he'd imagined. By the time he finished, Tom felt much better about how things could turn out with Molly.

Tom went out to the living room. He sat on the couch next to Kim. Kim, Jack, and Sally watched television in the darkened room.

"What's on?" Tom said.

"We're watching a program about hunting. I don't care about hunting, but it's the kind of program I think we can produce only ours will be about fishing," Sally said. "This is the Outdoor channel."

"Do you think we can do it?" Tom asked his sister.

"I think we can do anything we want to do if we're willing to work hard. From what I've read, producing a show isn't as hard as you might think it is. We need to find sponsors that are willing to advertise, but I don't think that will be too hard.

"I guess we need to decide if we're willing to put forth the effort. Maybe we can talk about it on Saturday while we're fishing. I think that Randy and Fran can help us too," Sally said.

"I agree with Sally. I've been watching these shows this evening. We can do the same things they do. If you watch them for a while, you'll see," Kim said.

The four teens watched several of the shows. They discussed their options, each of them voicing their ideas. At eleven, they all decided to go to bed.

"Kathy, Jenny, Brad, and Eddie are going to be here tomorrow at about noon. They're going to hang around and have dinner with us. Then we're all going to our meeting," Kim said.

"That's cool," Tom said. "I'll see you guys in the morning."

Molly slipped into Tom's room at six in the morning. She stripped off her clothing and slid into bed. Trying to keep from waking Tom, she snuggled against him. Tom put his arm over her, pulling Molly against his chest. The two slept for two hours. Tom woke up and kissed Molly's shoulder.

"Good morning, Sweetie," Tom said.

Molly rolled over and kissed Tom. "Good morning."

"I'll be back in a minute. I have to pee," Tom said and then he chuckled.

Finished with his morning needs, Tom called for Molly. She came into the bathroom, smiling when Tom opened the door to the shower. She got in and waited for Tom to join her.

Tom stood under the water, letting it flow over his body. "Wash me, Baby," Tom said.

Molly giggled as she picked up the shampoo. Standing on her toes, she shampooed his hair. After finishing his hair, Molly began washing Tom's body. She spent a few extra minutes washing his penis, stroking it to hardness. Tom pushed her hands away, telling Molly it would have to wait. Tom washed Molly when she finished washing him.

"Did you bring clothes?" Tom said as Molly dried him.

"Yes, I have several outfits in the car. I didn't want to make too much noise when I came in this morning," Molly said.

"Let's get dressed and get your thing. I want to make sure you brought things I approve of," Tom said.

Molly grinned as she nodded. She and Tom put on their clothes. After they dressed, they went outside. Molly opened the trunk. She reached in and removed two plastic bags of clothing. Tom took the items on hangers from the backseat. They took the things into Tom's bedroom. He hung her clothes in the closet and turned to Molly.

"Put your stuff on the bed," Tom said.

Molly emptied the contents of the bags on the bed. Tom sat on the edge of the bed and began sorting through her things.

"You can put your stuff in the drawers in the left side of the dresser. I made room for you," Tom said.

"Are these clothes okay?"

"Yes, they'll do for now. We'll go shopping in a couple days so I can get you new things, things I want you to wear," Tom said.

Molly carefully folded her panties, bras, tee shirts, and shorts. She placed them in the drawers while Tom watched.

"What did your mom say to you last night?" Tom said.

"Mom said she was happy for me," Molly replied.

"Are you still sure about this, Sweetie?" Tom said.

Molly came over to Tom. She sat down next to him, twisting so she could look into his eyes. "Tom, I have never been as sure of anything before. I love you and, because you're willing to do what you're doing, I know you love me. Whatever you want from me I'll give you—just tell me what it is."

Tom smiled as he nodded. "When we're fishing, you're free to do what you want." Tom grinned. "That is within reason. You don't have to ask me for permission or wait for me to tell you what to do."

"Whatever you say, Tom."

"Good, now that we understand that, I want to talk to you about how I want you to dress. I like skirts and dresses. You can wear shorts and pants, but only if you ask me first. I don't want you to wear your skirts too short. I like thongs, but I also like panties as long as they're silky. I don't like bras that have too much padding.

"You can wear any tops you like, as long as they're tight enough to show off your great boobs. Not sluty, but I want them sexy. Any questions?" Tom said.

"No, I understand. If I do wear something you don't like, let me know," Molly said.

"Don't worry, I will. Now, if you have everything put away, we can go get breakfast," Tom said.

"May I make the bed first?"

Tom nodded. "I'll wait for you in the living room. I have an idea, when you're here, or when you come in the morning, you can make a pot of coffee here."

Molly nodded as she began making the bed. Tom went to the living room, sitting in a chair to wait. Kim came out of her room. She stopped in the living room and looked at her cousin. "How are things going?" Kim said.

"Wonderful, Kim."

"That's great, Tom. Make sure you take care of Molly. You know we all love her, don't you?" Kim said. Tom smiled and nodded. "I'm going to see what Mrs. Durham made this morning. See you in a few."

Molly came into the room. Tom got up and they went to the main house. Jack and Sally were already at the table, eating a piece of fresh strudel. Kim stood at the counter, pouring coffee.

The teens ate breakfast with Anne, Marge, and Laura. Jeri and April showed up. They ate while telling the teens that they were going to the boatyard to make sure Tomiko was ready for Friday.

After breakfast, Tom pulled Jack aside. "I'm going to take Molly to the jewelers. Anything I should know?"

"No, just make sure it's what Molly wants. Make sure she's wearing what you want her to wear too," Jack said.

Tom smiled as he nodded his head. "Thanks."

"Mom, I'm going to take Molly shopping," Tom said. "We'll be back in an hour or so."

"Okay, Son, we'll see you later," Anne replied.

Tom glanced at Molly. She got up and followed him to the garage. They got into the Suburban and left.

"Where are we going? I mean may I ask where we're going?" Molly said.

"You can ask, but I'm not going to tell you. It's a surprise, Sweetie," Tom replied. "You can slid over here and sit next to me."

Giggling, Molly released her seatbelt. She slid next to Tom, fastening the lap belt around her. Tom put his hand on her knee, giving it a firm squeeze.

"Do you know what a safe word is?" Tom said.

"No I don't."

"A safe word is a word we'll use when we're fooling around. If you want to stop what I'm doing, you just say the safe word. If you do, I'll stop—no matter what. Now, if you want me to slow down, but not stop, you'll use our caution word.

"Our safe word is ketchup. Our caution word is mustard. You know, red for stop, yellow for caution. Do you understand?" Tom said.

"Yes, but I don't understand why we need them."

"Maybe we won't need them, Molly. I just want to make sure we have a safe and a caution word in case we do. I did some reading last night and learned a lot. Some people that have a dominant submissive relationship role-play. If we do, I want to make sure we don't go too far," Tom said.

"What kind of role-playing?" Molly asked as she grinned.

"I don't know. We could play master, slave. We could play teacher, student. Who knows? I might want to tie you up and have my way with you. The one thing you can count on is that I won't intentionally cause you pain."

"A little pain might be fun. You know, spanking or something like that," Molly said with a giggle.

Tom laughed. He pulled into a parking space and shut off the truck. Turning to Molly, Tom said, "Molly, I love you. I want to make sure that you've thought about what we're doing. I want to make sure it's what you want."

"It's about the only thing I've thought about, Baby. It's what I want more than anything," Molly said.

"Molly, this is the last time I'll ask you about this. You've made your decision and so have I," Tom said.

Tom gave Molly a kiss. He told her to get out as he opened his door. Molly slid over, getting out of the Suburban on the driver's side. She made sure her skirt rose high on her legs. Tom smiled and winked.

Taking Molly's elbow, Tom led her to the jewelry store. He opened the door for her, guiding her inside. The woman that waited on Tom the day before saw him. She smiled, waving Tom and Molly over to the counter.

"Good Morning, Mr. Lewis. I take it this is your sub," the woman said.

Tom nodded. "Yes, this is Molly." Molly moved closer to Tom.

"Very well, follow me."

The woman unlatched a half-door, holding it open for Tom and Molly. She latched the door and led the young couple to a door at the rear of the shop. Tom guided Molly past the woman and into a small room. He glanced at a mirror-covered wall, the small round stool in the room, and he noticed another door.

"Sit there," the woman said to Molly. "Mr. Lewis and I will be right back."

The saleswoman led Tom through the second door. She closed the door and turned to Tom.

"I take it Molly has agreed to your conditions, whatever they may be," the woman said.

"Yes, Molly is sure this is what she wants."

"Good. Do you want to have her close her eyes?"

Tom thought for a moment and nodded.

"Her top may get in the way. Are you okay with having her remove it?" the woman said. Tom nodded. "Great, have Molly remove her top and close her eyes. The jeweler will be in shortly."

"Excuse me, but you seem to know a lot about this," Tom said.

"Yes, in fact, I have several subs of my own." The woman smiled.

"Several?"

"Yes, I have two men and a woman as my subs. We aren't 24/7 though. I get the feeling you are."

Tom nodded. "I'll get Molly ready." The woman smiled. Tom went back into the room.

"Molly, take off your top and close your eyes," Tom said.

"Why?" Molly said.

Looking into Molly's eyes, Tom said, "Excuse me! What did you say?"

Molly stared into Tom's eyes. She realized that she was getting exactly what she asked for. Smiling, Molly removed her top. She folded it, placing it on her lap. Still looking into Tom's eyes, Molly slowly closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath, Molly whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Please hold her hair up," Molly heard a man say. She stiffened and blushed. Tom put his hand on Molly's shoulder, reassuring her. She gathered her hair, pulling it up on top of her head. Tom brushed a few errant strands up, telling Molly to hold them too.

Molly fought the urge to open her eyes. She felt helpless sitting on the stool in her bra and holding her hair. Then, Molly felt something going around her neck. Suddenly she relaxed. While she wasn't sure, Molly felt she knew what was happening. Her fear dissolved and she smiled.

Someone put a cold piece of metal against the back of her neck. She heard the hiss of the torch as the jeweler soldered the collar. A few moments later, Tom told Molly she could open her eyes.

Molly opened her eyes. She stared into the mirror-covered wall, noticing Tom standing behind her. Releasing her hair, Molly gently touched the flexible gold collar. She began to cry as she stood up to get closer to the mirror.

"It's beautiful, Tom. Thank you," Molly said. Her voice cracked.

Tom turned Molly around. He hugged her, kissing her nose. "You're mine now, Sweetie."

"I know I am, Baby. I don't know what to say," Molly said.

"Tell me you love me."

"Oh, Tom, I love you so much. I will be so good to you that you'll never want me to leave you," Molly said.

Smiling, Tom kissed her passionately. They held each other, each lost in their own thoughts. Molly felt that she could never be happier. Tom felt he could never be prouder.

Molly released Tom. She turned to the mirror again so she could study her new collar. Molly used her fingertip to trace Tom's initials. She noticed the small figures in the gold, smiling as she thought that they depicted her feelings so accurately.

"Put on your top. We have to get back to the house, Sweetie," Tom said as he wiped away her tears with his thumbs.

Molly pulled the tank top over her head. She gazed into the mirror again, touching the collar. To herself, Molly vowed never question Tom again.

"Thank you," Molly said to the saleswoman.

"You're welcome, Molly. Enjoy," the woman said. "Thank you for your business, Mr. Lewis. If you need anything, please come back and see me. I can suggest several shops in Miami you may find interesting."

"Thank you. We'll see you later," Tom replied.

In the truck, Molly sat as close to Tom as she could. He caught her eye in the rearview mirror, smiling at the excited look on Molly's face. He was going to ask if she liked her collar, but he didn't need to.

"How can I ever thank you, Tom? This is the most wonderful surprise I've ever gotten. It's beautiful and I love it. I'm so happy you made it permanent, not that I'd have taken it off if you didn't," Molly babbled as she wiggled next to Tom.

"You've already thanked me, Molly. The look on your face said more than you could ever put into words. Molly, I want this to work for us."

"It will work! I plan to do whatever it takes to make sure it does, Tom."

Tom smiled. He patted her knee, sliding his hand up Molly's leg. She giggled as she opened her legs for him. Tom stroked her thigh. Molly longed for him to touch her sex, but he didn't.

Pulling into the driveway, Tom saw his Expedition, Jack's truck, the boat, and the Lincoln parked near the garage. He used the remote to open the garage door, pulling the Suburban into its parking space.

After they climbed out of the truck, Molly stood next to Tom. She vibrated with excitement, wanting to show everyone her collar. Tom chuckled and said, "You can go show your mom and the others if that's what you want to do."

Giggling, Molly nodded. Tom led her into the house. They walked into the kitchen together, smiling when Marge and Anne looked up at them. Molly walked with her head held high and her neck stretched as far as she could. Anne and Marge noticed her collar, but didn't say anything about it.

"Your mom is upstairs," Anne said.

Molly giggled. She scurried toward the stairs, going up two at a time. Tom laughed as he watched her short skirt flip up, exposing her bottom.

"I take it she's happy," Anne said.

"I think that's putting it mildly," Marge said.

"Everything is great! She said she loves it," Tom said. "Where are Jack, Sally, and Kim?"

"They went with Eddie and the others to get a few things for lunch. They should be back shortly," Anne said. "You should go upstairs with Molly, Son."

Tom went upstairs. He found Molly and Laura in one of the bedrooms. Molly stood hugging her mom, crying. Laura saw Tom. She smiled and waved him in.

"Molly's necklace is beautiful, Tom," Laura said.

"MOM! It's not a necklace, it's a collar—it's Tom's collar. He put it on me because he loves me. He also owns me, Mom," Molly said.

"I'm sorry. I'll remember that it's a collar and not a necklace. Either way, it's beautiful," Laura said. "Now I have to get back to work. I'll see you later."

"Don't forget we have our meeting tonight, Mom," Molly said as she moved toward Tom.

"Yes, I remember. Now scoot!"

Tom and Molly went back to the kitchen. He poured coffee while Molly showed Marge and Anne her collar. They commented about how nice it was. Molly walked over to the counter. She took the coffee mugs to the table and sat down with Tom next to her.

Fifteen minutes later, the rest of the teens came into the house. Jack, Eddie, and Brad placed the bags they carried on the counter. Molly fidgeted in her seat, wanting to show the others her collar. Tom noticed. He patted Molly's leg and nodded. She sprang up, almost tripping in the process.

"Look what Tom gave me," Molly said as she stood facing Kim, Sally, Jenny, and Kathy. She tipped her head back so the girls could see her collar.

Kim, Jenny, and Kathy made a fuss. They told Molly how pretty the collar looked on her and wanted to know if she was happy. Molly giggled and nodded. Sally smiled and then winked at Molly. She already knew how Molly felt. Molly told the girl every detail of her visit to the jewelers. They all listened to Molly, giggling along with her.

"Jack, Tom, the moving company called earlier. They will be here at about one. We have to guide them as to where we want the boxes they are delivering," Marge said. "The furniture and several other things are going into storage until we decide what we're going to do with the property next door."

"No problem, Mom. Don't forget we have our meeting tonight," Jack said.

"I know, but it shouldn't take too long for them to offload the truck. We don't have to unpack everything right away, but I do want it where it belongs," Marge said. "What time is your meeting?"

"The meeting starts at seven. We have to get there a little early so Sally can talk to the president of the club. She wants to make a presentation tonight. That and we're meeting someone from Ande Line Company there," Tom said.

"We should go move our trucks and the boat so the moving truck will have room," Jack said.

Jack, Tom, Eddie, and Brad started toward the garage. Molly stopped them so she could show Eddie, Brad, and Jack her collar. The boys all made a fuss over her, making Molly beam. They all knew the meaning of the collar because of Sally.

The moving truck arrived at one. The group finished their lunch and went outside to help the movers. Tom, Jack, Kim, and Sally showed them where the things went in the guesthouse. Marge and Anne took care of the items for the main house. When the men started off loading the exercise equipment, Jack asked Brad and Eddie to show the men the building near the seawall.

By three thirty, the movers finished and left. The teens went to the guesthouse to start unpacking their things. Everyone pitched in, helping put the items away.

Jenny, Molly, and Kathy helped Kim and Sally. They made comments about the two girls' different outfits and the knickknacks they placed in the rooms. The boy finished unpacking before the girls were half done.

"Do you guys want to go swimming or finish unpacking?" Jack said as he stood in the doorway of Kim's bedroom.

"We've taken care of most of our stuff. Sally and I can finish later," Kim replied.

The teens went to the pool. They went into the cabana to undress and shower. Outside, they all jumped into the refreshing pool. They swam laps for a few minutes before resting in waist deep water.

"You have to make sure you move your collar on your neck when you tan. If you don't, you'll have a band around your neck," Sally said.

Molly grinned as she nodded her head. She constantly fingered the collar, memorizing every detail by touch.

The teens got out of the pool. The girls relaxed in the sun while the boys put on their shorts and went to the small building to arrange the exercise equipment. Tom, Jack, Brad, and Eddie moved the equipment around in the room, making sure that none of the machines interfered with each other.

"You guys have nice equipment," Eddie said as he plugged in one of the treadmills.

"Yeah, you can come over to workout anytime you want to," Tom said. "We used to have a routine, but we've gotten away from it because of the move and everything else that's going on. I want to get back to it soon."

"Do you think that Sally can convince the club to change the rules?" Brad said.

"I don't know, but I plan to support her the best I can," Jack said. "Sally has worked very hard on her presentation. I hope she gets a chance to bring it up tonight."

"She will. I called Tom Gordon and told him what we planned. He told me that he would make sure we had the time we need. Tom and Nate started the club. They still have a say in what goes on," Eddie said.

"Thanks, that will mean a lot to Sally," Jack said.

"No problem, Jack. I agree with her about increasing the line test for fishing. I hope we're all on board for the change. It makes sense to preserve and protect the fishery," Eddie said.

The boys talked for a few moments before returning to the pool. They sat with the girls, listening to them talking. Eddie told Sally and the other girls about his call to Tom Gordon. Sally giggled and thanked him. All of the team members voiced their support for Sally's idea.

Marge called to the teens, telling them dinner was nearly ready. They went to the cabana to shower and dress. After dinner, the teens went to the boat to put on their matching outfits. The girls choose skirts and short-sleeve blouses. The boys wore slacks and short-sleeve shirts.

The girls went to the guesthouse to fix their hair and put on a little makeup. At six thirty, they climbed into the limo and headed for the meeting.

Chapter 49

"Are you nervous, Sally?" Kim asked as the teens took their seats in the limo.

"I'm very nervous. I hope I don't make a fool of myself," Sally replied. She held her notebook computer case on her lap. Sally twisted so she could talk to her friends in the back of the bus like vehicle.

"We're all there for you—you know that," Jenny said. "If you'd like, we can stand up front with you.

"Maybe, we'll have to see how things go after we talk with the club president," Sally said.

The teens chatted during the drive to the Bahia Mar hotel. Jack paid attention to the road, but joined the conversation.

"Sally, I have all the confidence in the world that you'll do fine tonight. You've worked hard on this and we all know that you have a strong argument for changing the rules," Jack said. Sally grinned at Jack.

The teens arrived at six thirty. They asked for directions to the meeting room when they entered the hotel. The concierge showed them the room on a map of the first floor of the building.

Sally walked next to Jack. He held the door for her as well as the rest of the group. They noticed the podium and took a table near the front of the room. Sally looked around, trying to find the current club president. She saw him sitting at the membership table.

"Will you come with me?" Sally said to Jack.

"We'll all go," Jack said.

The Lady Guinevere fishing team members walked over to the membership table. They stood quietly, waiting for the club president to acknowledge them. When Mr. Nance looked up, he smiled at the teens.

"Hello, kids, can I help you?" Mr. Nance said.

"Yes, Sir. I would like to address the members tonight please. I want to talk about fish mortality and how we can improve the fishery by allowing heavier test line for our tournaments," Sally said in one breath.

"No problem, Sally. I'll call you up after I read the news and take care of the normal items," Mr. Nance said.

"I would like to have a projector that I can connect to my computer too, please," Sally said.

"We can arrange that. I'll have it set up before the meeting starts," Mr. Nance said.

"Thank you, Mr. Nance," Sally said.

"You're welcome, Sally. By the way, Tom Gordon called me earlier to tell me you planned to ask for some time tonight. This has worked out well because our guest speaker is a no-show," Mr. Nance said.

"Does that mean I'm the program tonight?" Sally said.

"It appears that you are. Is that okay?"

"Sure, I just hope I don't make the members fall asleep," Sally replied with a giggle.

The team returned to their table. The boys went to the bar to get sodas while the girls sat down. Kim, Molly, Kathy, and Jenny reassured Sally. They told her that they knew things would go well for her.

"It looks like we're going to have a good turnout tonight," Eddie said. He stood at the bar waiting for the bartender to put the cans of soda on the counter.

Brad, Jack, and Tom glanced around. "It sure does. I wonder if some of them are here because we're meeting in a new place," Brad said.

"This is a lot nicer than the other building," Jack said. "I'll bet it costs more too."

"I don't know how much the hotel charges the club. We'd have to go to a board meeting to find out. They don't cover the club's expenses at the general membership meetings," Brad said. "Jenny is a board member. She represents the youth division."

"She probably knows how much the rent is then," Tom said.

"I don't think so. We were in Michigan for the last board meeting," Eddie said.

The boys took the sodas to the table. They handed cans to the girls and sat down. As the room filled, Sally watched for Judy Mansfield from Ande Line. Ten minutes before the meeting began, Sally saw Judy walk in along with another man. Sally stood up and waved as she walked over to meet her guests.

"Hi, I'm glad you could make it," Sally said. She extended her hand, shaking hands with Judy.

Smiling, Judy said, "I told you I'd be here. Sally, I'd like you to meet Glen Mansfield. Glen is the president of Ande Line, and my father."

"Hi, Mr. Mansfield, I'm pleased to meet you. Come over and meet the rest of the team," Sally said.

"It's nice meeting you too, Sally. I wanted to meet the fishing team that didn't jump at the opportunity to have my company sponsor them." Mr. Mansfield chuckled. "Judy tells me you and your teammates are a rare group."

"I don't think we're rare, Mr. Mansfield. We're very cautious about who sponsors us though. We don't want anyone telling us how to fish," Sally said.

"I promise you that Ande Line Company won't try to influence your team. We know you're successful and we don't want to try to interfere," Mr. Mansfield said.

"That's great. Now, as long as your company is willing to put it in writing, we might be able to reach an agreement," Sally said as she led Judy and Glen to the table.

Glen Mansfield chuckled. Judy smiled and said, "I told you, Dad." He nodded and then he smiled.

Sally introduced Glen Mansfield to the rest of the team. Brad, Jack, Tom, and Eddie stood up to shake his hand. Sally told the others about her conversation about the sponsorship. The entire team nodded in agreement.

"It looks like our speaker didn't show up tonight. We're putting on the program," Sally told Judy.

"That's no problem. I have enough information to put everyone asleep," Judy replied with a chuckle.

"I'd like to begin, state my case, and then introduce you if that's okay," Sally said.

"That's fine, Sally," Judy said. "Dad and I are going to go visit with an old friend. I saw Tom Gordon come in."

Judy and her father left the teens. Sally watched them walk over to Tom Gordon, greeting him.

Sitting down, Sally said, "I'm glad they came. I hope she can help us convince the club to change the rules."

"Can't hurt," Jack said with a smile.

"Who's that with Sid?" Jenny said as she pointed at the door.

"It must be Sid's grandson. He said he was planning to bring him tonight," Kathy replied.

The teens looked toward the door. They watched Sid and the tall, sandy blonde haired, boy walking with him. Sid saw the group. He waved and started walking toward the table.

"Hi there, how are you doing tonight?" Sid said to the table of teens.

"Great, Sid, how are you?" Eddie replied.

"Kids, this is my grandson, Trent. He's interested in off-shore fishing," Sid said.

Jenny stood up. She shook Trent's hand and introduced herself. "Hi, Trent, I'm Jenny. This is my brother, Eddie." Pointing, Jenny continued. "That's Kathy Waters and her brother Brad. This is Jack Graham and that's his sister Kim." Tom stood up, moving toward Jenny. "This is Tom Lewis and that's his sister Sally. And last, but not least, that's Molly."

The boys stood up to shake hands and greet Trent. He glanced around the table, nodding at each of the girls.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you guys. My grandpa said that you guys like fishing," Trent said nervously.

"Yeah, we love it. Would you like to join us?" Jack said.

"Um, I don't know," Trent said looking at Sid.

"Go ahead. I'll be over there. I saw Judy Mansfield and her dad," Sid said.

Trent nodded. Kim got up and said, "You can sit here. I'll get another chair."

Kim took a chair from another table. She pulled it over, placing it next to the one she vacated. Trent sat down, scooting the chair closer to the table. Grinning, Kim sat next to him. The teens began talking.

"I just moved to Florida. My family and Tom and Sally's families used to live in Michigan," Kim said.

"I just moved here too. My mom and I used to live in Iowa," Trent said.

"Does it get cold there?" Jenny said.

"Yeah, it gets real cold."

"If you like warm weather, you'll love Florida," Kathy said.

The president of the club stood at the podium. He turned on the microphone, calling the meeting to order. The teens stopped talking so they could listen.

"For those that don't know me, I'm Gill Nance. I'm the current president of the club. I'd like to welcome our members and guests. I'm pleased to announce that we have several new members. We also have several new members of the youth division..."

Gill Nance talked for about fifteen minutes. Reading from his notes, he told the members about the past news as well as about upcoming events. He pointed at a poster, drawing attention to the tournaments listed. Gill also talked about the 'captain and mates' program.

"For members that don't have boats, we have a sign-up sheet. Many of our captains welcome anglers that otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to fish in our tournaments. The list is on the membership table for anyone that would like to add their name," Gill said.

"We want to thank the Bahia Mar Hotel for hosting our meetings. The hotel has also agreed to allow us to use their marina when we have tournaments in the area. Our old venue asked us to find somewhere else to meet because of a conflict with their meeting room. We enjoyed our years there, but we welcome our new digs.

"Does anyone have anything they'd like to present for the good of the club?"

No one stood up. Gill glanced around the room and then he said, "Okay. Our guest speaker is unable to make it to the meeting tonight. However, we have a program. Let's take a break before this evening's presentation."

The room became noisy with members talking to each other. Tom asked if anyone wanted another soda. Jack, Eddie, and Brad went with Jack to get sodas for everyone.

"Have you ever been fishing?" Molly asked Trent.

Shaking his head, Trent said, "Not on a boat. I went fishing a few times in Iowa, but only from shore. I didn't catch anything."

"Sid said you're interested in fishing. Would you like to come with us sometime?" Kathy said.

"Yes, I'd like that," Trent replied.

"Cool. Maybe you can fish with us in the tournament," Jenny said.

"You said you've never been on a boat. Do you think you'll get seasick?" Kathy said.

"I don't know. I guess I won't know until I try," Trent said as he shrugged his shoulders.

Kim sat next to Trent watching him talk to the other girls. She smiled when he looked at her. Kim gazed into Trent's dark eyes. "Would you like to go for a boat ride?"

"Sure," Trent said, returning Kim's smile.

"Cool, what are you doing tomorrow?" Kim asked. The other girls giggled at Kim's boldness.

"Um, I don't know."

"You can come with us tomorrow if you want to. We're going out on a boat," Kim said.

Jack and the other boys returned with the sodas. They passed the cans around the table and took their seats.

"I asked Trent to go on the boat tomorrow. He's never been on a boat," Kim said as she looked at her brother and cousin Tom.

"I have to check with my mom first," Trent said.

"Ask her if she wants to come too. If you start fishing with us, I'm sure she'll want to meet our parents," Jack said.

"That would be cool. Mom doesn't let me do much," Trent said. "How can I get a hold of you?" Trent looked at Kim when he said it.

Kim grabbed her purse. She took out a piece of paper and a pen. Kim wrote her telephone number, her cell number, and her email address on the paper. "Here, you can call me or send me an email. We're going at one o'clock tomorrow. If your mom says you can go, I'll give you directions," Kim said.

"Thanks," Trent said.

"Do you drive?" Brad asked.

"Yeah, I have my license. I have a car too," Trent said.

"That's cool. What kind of car do you have?" Eddie said.

"I have a fifty-six Chevy. My dad and I restored it," Trent said. He took a breath and went on. "Dad died two years ago. I finished the car myself."

"Sorry to hear about your dad," Kim said softy.

"Thanks, Kim. He had cancer," Trent said.

Everyone at the table sat quietly, not knowing what to say. Trent glanced around and said, "Dad and I were close. I miss him, but it's getting better. Mom lost her job and we had to move down here. We live with my grandparents."

"Do you miss your friends?" Kim said.

Trent shrugged his shoulders. "I guess so. It's only been a few days since we moved. I didn't have many friends. The guys I hung out with the last year aren't friends, not good friends."

Gill Nance stepped up to the microphone. He asked everyone to quiet down so he could continue the meeting. A few moments later, the room quieted down.

"Okay, I would like to invite our guest speaker to come up. She has a presentation she would like to show us tonight," Gill said. Smiling, he pointed to Sally.

Taking a deep breath, Sally stood up. She picked up her notebook computer and glanced at Jack. He smiled at her and said, "You'll do fine, Sweetheart."

Sally moved up to the podium. She stretched up to the microphone and said, "Hi, I'm Sally Graham. I'm one of the members of the Lady Guinevere Fishing Team."

"We know who you guys are—you're the ones that whip us all the time," a man said from the audience. Everyone laughed.

"We try," Sally said and then she giggled. "If you'll give me a moment, I'll get started."

Gill helped Sally connect her computer to the projector. He lowered the microphone so Sally wouldn't have to stand on her toes to reach it. Sally started her Power-Point presentation. The screen filled with a black and white image of a dozen sailfish hanging from a beam on a pier.

"Not too long ago, this is how people treated bill fish. They harvested them. Over the years, sportsman realized they were decimating the fishery. Before anglers adopted the idea of catch and release, the sport fishing in this area was all but dead.

"It took years of careful regulation to return the fishery to its present conditions. The department of fisheries passed laws setting size and catch limits. Anglers learned that by returning the fish to the ocean, the fishery improved."

Sally changed to the next slide. It showed a picture of a sailfish floating in the ocean.

"We've learned, but I think we can do more. I feel that by making a few changes to our club rules, we can continue to improve out fishery and our sport."

Changing slides, Sally showed the members compelling statistics. The statistics displayed how using a fishing line with a higher weight test, fish mortality went down. Fifteen minutes after she began, Sally finished her slide show with a photograph of a large marlin tail-walking on the surface of the ocean.

"What we, my team members and I, are proposing is to change our club rules to the same rules the International Game Fish Association have adopted. We think that by using heavier line weights, we can reduce the fish mortality. As my information showed, releasing fish faster reduces their mortality. By using heavier line, we can reduce the amount of time we have to fight a fish in order to tag it.

"Does anyone have any questions?" Sally said.

"Won't increasing the line weights reduce the challenge?" someone asked.

"I don't think so. Isn't the challenge locating and hooking the fish? The real difference will be shorter fights. Not only will shorter fights increase the chances of survival for the fish, it will give us more time to catch more fish," Sally replied.

"We've used the line weight rules since the beginning of the club. Most of us old timers like the long fights," a man said.

Sally brought up the slide of the dead fish hanging on a beam. "Yes, but there's always a need for change. If anglers hadn't adopted catch and release, there might not even be a billfish fishery today."

"It's going to cost us to change our line and buy the reels for the heavier weights," someone said.

Sally grinned. She unconsciously cocked her head and said, "I don't think having to spend a few dollars for line or reels, if you need them, is too big a price to pay for the future of our sport. Most of our members are able to pay for what they'll need. After all, we're not fishing for bluegills in a farm pond."

The room exploded in laughter. Sally stood still, grinning. "Are there any more questions?" No one said anything. "Thank you for your time. I'd like to introduce Judy Mansfield. Judy is the vice president of Ande Line Company. If I haven't convinced you, maybe she can."

Judy walked up. She stood next to Sally and said, "Thank you Sally. I came here tonight because Sally and her team members asked me to help them give you a compelling reason to change the way you fish. Frankly, her presentation was better than the one I prepared. I can tell you that Ande has done a lot of research into the subject of fish mortality.

"As Sally's presentation showed, shorter fights means healthier fish. I speak with the board of the IGFA on a weekly basis. We at Ande use the data they provide to improve our products. At the beginning of this year, the IGFA made it mandatory for all the tournaments they sanction to use the test weights Sally showed you.

"Ande wants to sell more line, that's why we're in business. As Sally said, we are the future of the fishery. If we adopt changes it will help to improve our sport," Judy said.

Earl Mansfield walked up to the podium. "My name is Earl Mansfield. Many of you know me. For those that don't know me, I'm the president and owner of Ande line." Earl turned to Sally. "I'd like to thank you for your presentation. When my daughter said that your presentation was better than what we've produced, she wasn't kidding. I am very impressed.

"Our products, as well as our competitors, are sold in most of the tackle shops in the area," Earl continued. "If you decide to adopt the suggested rule changes, my company will offer a twenty percent discount to all the members of your club. I will send an email to all of our vendors in the morning explaining the discount. If you show your membership card, the tackle shops will extend the discount.

"Thank you for the time, Sally," Earl said.

"Thanks for offering the discount, Mr. Mansfield. I know that Sid at Sid's Tackle Shop will take care of any member that goes over there." Sally giggled. "Sid is one of our sponsors."

Everyone laughed. Tom Gordon came up, standing with Sally, Judy, Gill, and Earl.

"Thanks Earl. I've been trying to get you to one of our meetings for years. I'm glad you finally decided to come," Tom Gordon said.

Laughing, Earl said, "It wasn't you, Tom. I had to meet Sally after Judy told me about her. All kidding aside, I'm glad to be here. This issue is very important."

"Okay, we've seen Sally's presentation. I feel she has presented the information in a manner that requires us as a club to consider her suggestion. There are enough board members here to hold a vote. Would all the board members please stand," Tom Gordon said.

"Thanks. Now, all those in favor of adopting the rule change that will mirror the IGFA rules, raise their hands." All the board members raised their hand. "All opposed?" No one raised their hand, but they laughed at the protocol. "The motion passes. Beginning with our next tournament, we'll use the new rule. I will have the changes made to the bylaws. I will mail the new bylaws, along with a copy of the IGFA rules tomorrow morning."

"Thanks, Tom. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to seeing the information. Sally, I want to thank you for your great presentation. I think we should give Sally a round of applause," Gill said.

Jack was the first person out of his seat. He began clapping with his hands over his head. The rest of the team jumped up, joining Jack. They cheered Sally and whistled. Jack felt his heart swell with pride and love. Tears formed in his eyes as he tried to catch his breath. Jenny noticed Jack. She put her arm around his waist. Looking up, she smiled.

"She's quite a girl, isn't she?" Jenny said over the roar of the group. "She's always amazing me."

"Yes she is," Jack replied. He wiped his eyes on the back of his hands.

Sally stood in front of the membership. She shifted her weight from foot to foot and giggled. Disconnecting her computer, Sally headed back to the table. The moment she put her computer down, Jack wrapped his arms around her. He swung Sally around and told her how proud he was.

"Be careful, you're making my skirt ride up," Sally said to Jack.

"What's the matter? Don't you want anyone to see your panties?" Jack said.

Sally giggled and said, "What panties?" Jack laughed as he hugged her.

Sid came over to the table. Laughing, he said, "Thanks for the plug, Sally. I hope I'll have enough inventory to fill the orders."

"I'll make sure you're well stocked," Judy said as she and Earl walked up. "The team's line is on us."

A man came over to the table. He moved closer to Sally and then he said, "Hello, I'm with Southern Sportsman magazine. I wonder if you'll grant me an interview."

"You can interview the team," Sally said. "All of us are in this together."

"Go ahead and do it, Sally. You're the one that put this together. We just agreed with you," Kathy said.

Sally giggled and shrugged her shoulders. The man waved and a photographer walked over. "If you're going to take pictures, you have to take them of the team," Sally said.

The photographer changed lens. He began gathering the group, posing them so he could fit them all in the photo. Kim grabbed Trent's sleeve and pulled him closer.

"I'm not on your team, Kim," Trent said.

"You will be. Once we get you out fishing, you'll want to fish with us," Kim said with a giggle. "You can stand behind me because you don't have an outfit like ours."

Trent ran his hands through his hair. He stood behind Kim, trying to hide himself. The photographer took several shots. He told the reporter that he was all set.

The reporter sat with Sally. He asked her several questions about the team. He also asked why she felt that the rule changes would be good for the fishery. The reporter took notes as Sally responded to his questions. While they talked, several club members came over to talk to the team. Sally told the reporter that she needed to talk to the other people. She said that if he waited for a little while, she would talk to him again.

The reporter nodded. "I'll wait. I have a few more questions for you." He and the photographer walked away.

Sally tried to answer questions from the members. She giggled every time one of them complemented her. Jack stood at her side, beaming with pride.

Gill announced the end of the meeting. He told everyone that he looked forward to seeing them a week from Saturday for the tournament. Realizing that very few members paid attention to him, Gill chuckled and shut off the microphone.

Trent kept moving away from the team, but Kim hauled him back. When the excitement died down, the teens sat at the table again. The reporter came back to finish his interview. He thanked Sally after getting her address.

"That was great, Sally," Tom said. The rest of the team agreed.

"I'm just happy they decided to change the rules. I know it's going to be better for the sport," Sally said.

Earl and Judy came back to the table. "I hope you will agree to let Ande sponsor your team," Earl said.

"We'll show the agreement to our attorney when he comes back to town on Friday," Sally said.

"That's fine. Have him call me if he has any questions," Earl said. "Judy and I look forward to seeing you again."

"Thank you, Mr. Mansfield. Thank you, Judy. We'll talk to you soon," Jenny said.

Earl and Judy left. The teens cleaned their table, tossing the empty soda cans in a recycle box near the bar. They went around the room, stopping to talk to the other youth members. Sid stopped the team to thank them for letting Trent sit with them.

"We asked Trent to go for a boat ride tomorrow and to go fishing on Saturday. Do you think his mom will let him go?" Kim said. "We invited his Mom to go on the boat ride tomorrow too."

"I'm sure that Trent and his mother will be able to make it. Do you want to go, Trent?" Sid said as he looked at his grandson.

"Yes, I'd love to go if you can talk Mom into it," Trent replied.

"Do you guys need new reels for the one thirty class line?" Sid said.

"Yes, we have reels for the eighty, but not for the one thirty," Eddie said.

"Okay, I'll give Andy at Shimano a call tomorrow. We'll see what we can do," Sid replied.

The team left the meeting. They climbed into the limo for the ride back to the house.

"I wonder if Trent's mom will see the marks on him," Kathy said with a giggle.

"What marks?" Molly said.

"The marks Kim left from sinking her claws into him. I thought you weren't looking for a boyfriend," Kathy said.

"I said I wasn't looking for a committed relationship. I never said I didn't want a boyfriend—or two," Kim said with a giggle. "I wasn't that bad, was I?"

"No, we could hardly see the drool on your chin," Jenny said.

"Stop it! I wasn't drooling!"

"Trent seemed nice," Molly said.

"I think he's shy," Kim said.

"Poor boy, he won't know what hit him," Tom said. Everyone laughed.

"Maybe he doesn't even like me," Kim said. She giggled. "Maybe he doesn't like girls."

"Well for a boy that doesn't like girls he sure spent a lot of time staring at you, Kim," Jenny said.

Kim giggled. "Um, I think he was looking at all of us—well, the girls anyway."

"It was nice of you to include Trent in the pictures," Jack said.

"No one wants to feel left out," Kim said.

"So, is he cute, average, or he'll do for now?" Sally said.

"Definitely cute," Kim replied with a giggle.

"Yup, I agree with Kim. Trent is cute," Jenny said. "Maybe I'll give you Brad and go after him."

Faking a pout, Brad moved into the seat next to Kim. "I guess that Jenny doesn't want me anymore." He batted his eyelashes. "Will you take me home?"

Kim laughed. She plopped on Brad's lap and gave him a hug. "Sure, as long as you're house broken," Kim said and then she giggled.

"He needs training," Jenny said. Kathy laughed as she nodded.

Jack pulled into the driveway. He parked the limo and everyone climbed out. They stood outside, talking for a few minutes.

"I guess we better get going," Eddie said.

"Why don't you guys stay here tonight? We have two spare rooms," Sally said.

"We'll have to call our moms and see if we can," Jenny said.

The teens went into the house. Sally asked her mom and Aunt Marge if their friends could stay. Anne and Marge told Sally it was okay as long as their parents agreed.

Kathy called her mom first. She talked for a few moments, grinned, and hung up. Handing the telephone to Jenny, Kathy said, "Brad and I can stay."

Jenny called home. Ellen told her that she didn't mind as long as it was all right with Marge and Anne. After hanging up, Jenny told the others that she and Eddie could stay too.

"Do you want to call your mom, Molly?" Jenny said as she passed her the telephone.

"Mom knows I'm staying tonight," Molly said.

The teens went to the boat to change their clothes. Before dressing in their street clothes, they all decided to go for a quick swim. Naked, they left the boat and headed for the pool. They tossed their clothes on chairs. Laughing, they all jumped into the pool. The teens swam around, enjoying the cool water. They stayed in the pool for a half hour and then got out.

The group took showers, dried off, dressed, and headed for the house. On the way through the house, they told Marge and Anne goodnight.

"Getting dressed was kind of silly, wasn't it?" Jenny said. "Does anyone have a tee shirt I can wear?"

Jack and Tom went to their rooms to get tee shirts for the girls. They changed into the shirts and then everyone gathered in the living room. They talked about the meeting and their plans for the weekend. At midnight, they decided to go to bed.

"Do you want some company?" Jenny asked Kim as she put her arm around Kim's waist.

"Thanks, but not tonight," Kim replied. She said goodnight and went into her room.

The rest of the teens went to bed. Sally stripped before climbing into bed with Jack. They cuddled, trading soft kisses. "I'm so proud of you, Sweetie! You did great tonight," Jack said.

"Thank you, Baby. I'm glad I've pleased you," Sally replied.

"If I wasn't so tired, I'd see what I could do about pleasing you," Jack said.

"I'm happy being in your arms."

Each of the couples snuggled. They all talked to each other about Sally's presentation and the meeting. Soon they all fell asleep. Kim tried to sleep, but she couldn't get Trent out of her mind. She didn't know why, but she felt attracted to him. Finally, Kim was able to sleep.

Kim woke up first on Friday morning. She got up and made coffee. On the way back to her room to shower, Jenny came out of the room she'd shared with Brad.

"Hey, Kim, did you sleep well?" Jenny said.

"Yeah, how about you and Brad?" Kim replied.

"I slept like a log. Brad's snoring didn't keep me awake like it usually does," Jenny said with a giggle.

"I don't snore," Brad called out from the bedroom.

Jenny giggled. "Yes he does. What's up this morning?"

"I'm going to take a shower. If this is like most mornings, Molly's mom will be baking some goodies for us," Kim said.

"That's cool. I'm going to get ready too."

"The coffee should be ready in a few minutes," Kim said. "I just made a pot for us."

Jenny smiled. She moved closer to Kim and gave her a hug. "I'm so happy you guys moved down here. We're going to have a blast!"

"I know we are," Kim replied. "I'll see you in a few minutes."

"Kim, Sally and I are going to workout this morning. If you want to come with us, you should wait to shower," Jack said from his doorway.

"I'll workout with you guys. Should we wake everyone else up too?" Kim said.

Jack grinned and nodded. Kim went to Tom and Molly's room to wake them up. She bounced on the bed, shaking Molly and Tom. "Wake up, we're going to workout," Kim said.

Tom threw his arms around Kim. He pulled her down between him and Molly. Molly giggled and sat up. They horsed around for a moment before climbing out of bed.

Jenny woke Kathy and Eddie. The teens gathered in the kitchen and poured coffee for those that wanted it.

"Do you guys always get up so early?" Eddie said. "It's only six thirty."

"We get up early because we don't want to waste the day," Kim said.

Molly put her arms around Tom. She pressed her body against his back and said, "I like getting up early too. The last two days, I was up at four thirty."

"Yeah, but you went back to bed when you got here," Sally said.

"Only for an hour or so," Molly said.

Kim and Sally lent shorts and tops to Jenny and Kathy. Molly wore a pair of shorts she kept in Tom's room. The teens drank coffee and juice before they headed out to exercise. They paused in the house to say hi to Laura. She told the teens that she was making muffins.

They went out to the new building. Inside, they began to stretch and warm up. Sally and Kim helped Molly when they learned that Molly had never worked out before. The teens developed a routine for their exercises. Because it had been a while since any of them had exercised, they took it easy. An hour later, they left the building. They stopped at the pool, stripped, and began swimming laps.

After showering, Molly, Sally, Kim, Tom, and Jack went to the guesthouse. Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy went to the boat to get clean clothes. The teens met in the main house for breakfast.

"We need to put the television in the gym," Kim said. "I like warming up with aerobic videos."

"We can put it up later today," Tom said.

Marge and Anne greeted the teens. Everyone sat around the table, eating cereal and fresh blueberry muffins. The group repeatedly told Laura how good the muffins tasted.

Jack told his mom and aunt about the meeting. He told them how Sally made her presentation and that the club voted to change the rules.

"That's not all that happened. Kim met a boy," Jenny said.

Kim gave Jenny a look, but then she laughed.

"Who did you meet?" Marge asked her daughter.

"His name is Trent, Mom. He's Sid's, the man that owns the tackle shop, grandson. Sid brought him to the meeting to meet us because Trent wants to go fishing. He's never been on a boat before so I invited him to come with us today. I told him he should bring his mom so she can meet you guys," Kim said and then she took a deep breath.

Marge and Anne chuckled. "That's nice, Honey. How old is Trent?"

"He's sixteen. He'll be seventeen in July. His dad died from cancer about two years ago," Kim said.

"When will you know if Trent and his mom are joining us?" Anne said.

"He's supposed to call me this morning. I told him not to call until after nine," Kim said. She looked at her mom, brother, and cousins. "You guys don't mind that I asked him, do you?"

"I don't mind, Kim," Tom said. Jack and Sally agreed with Tom.

"It's up to you who you invite. The yacht belongs to you kids," Marge said.

"Good morning," April said. She and Jeri came into the kitchen. "Do I smell blueberry muffins?"

"Yes you do, April. I made a batch this morning," Laura said.

"Well, are you guys ready for today?" Jeri said.

"Yes, is Tomiko ready?" Jack said.

"Tomiko has been ready. I'm sure Mr. Shockley will be glad to get it out of his slip," Jeri said.

"Not really, it shows well when potential customers visit the boatyard," Harry said.

"Dad! When did you get back?" Jenny said. She got up to give her dad a hug.

"We landed about forty five minutes ago," Harry said.

Don, Marc, Joel, and Jack Waters came in behind Harry. Everyone greeted each other and asked about the trip.

Don and Marc kissed their wives and sat down. Harry told Jenny, Eddie, Brad, and Jenny, that their mothers would be there soon.

"We decided it would be easier to leave from here. That way we only have the limo to ferry back," Don said.

Joel gave Laura a hug and a kiss. She told him that she missed him and that she was glad Joel was home. Molly came over to give Joel a hug and show him the collar Tom gave her. Joel smiled and told Molly it was pretty. Laura had called Joel to inform him about the new relationship between Molly and Tom. She didn't want to shock him.

Ellen and Sarah came into the kitchen. Harry and Jack Waters hugged their wives. Laura started fussing in the kitchen. She made a fresh pot of coffee and put more muffins on a platter.

"What are our plans for today?" Don said.

"You guys should go to the boatyard at twelve thirty. We'll leave the boatyard at about one," Jeri said. "Everything is ready to go."

"Jeri and I are going to head over there as soon as we finish breakfast," April said.

The telephone rang. Kim almost knocked over her chair when she jumped up. Marge glanced at the clock, chuckling when she noticed it was nine on the dot. Don looked at his wife, raising his eyebrows.

"I think it's the boy Kim met at the meeting last night," Marge said.

Kim stretched the cord around the corner so she could talk to Trent. They talked for a few minutes and then Kim called for her mom.

"Mom, Trent's mom wants to talk to you. Please talk her into coming today, but don't tell her too much about the yacht," Kim said.

Marge talked to Trent's mother. She assured the woman that she and her son were welcome to come with the families. They talked for a few moments before Marge handed the receiver to Kim. Marge winked at Kim, causing Kim to giggle. She talked to Trent for a while. Kim gave the phone to Eddie so he could give Trent directions to the boatyard.

When Kim returned, she grinned at her friends and brother. "Trent is going to be there," Kim said.

"You guys should bring some clothes over here if you're going to workout with us," Tom said as he used his hand to point at Brad, Eddie, Jenny, and Kathy.

"We have things on the boat," Jenny said, "but it's not a bad idea." She giggled and looked at her mom. "We should have clean clothes when we spend the night too."

Ellen smiled at Jenny. "Yes you should," Ellen said, surprising her daughter.

"Why don't you kids go outside for a few minutes? We want to talk," Don said.

"What's up, Don?" Marge said after the teens went out to the patio.

Chuckling, Don reached over his wife's shoulders. He began massaging her breasts. Leaning over, Don kissed Marge's neck. "Damn I missed your tits," Don said.

"I missed having you play with them," Marge said. The couple completely ignored their guests for a moment. After giving his wife's breasts a firm squeeze, Don sat down.

"We wanted to catch up with what's going on here. We didn't seem to have enough time on the telephone," Don said.

"Tom and Molly have entered into a dominant / submissive relationship. He gave her the collar yesterday," Anne said.

"How do you and Joel feel about that, Laura?" Marc said.

"I'm fine with the relationship, Marc. Tom is good for Molly. We've talked about it and I think things will be fine," Laura said.

"I guess I don't understand the relationship enough yet. It seems weird to me," Joel said.

"I wouldn't worry about it, Joel. I think you'll find things will be about the same as they were," Don said. "Have you talked to the kids about their schedule this summer? I think they're going to be very busy."

"They'll be busy if they try to do everything they plan to do. I think it's great. It doesn't give them any time to get into trouble," Harry said.

"Do you and Harry think we should limit the amount of time Jenny, Eddie, Brad, and Kathy spend together?" Sarah said as she looked at her husband.

"No, I don't think they need to have their time together limited at all. If you think about it, they're going to be spending quite a few nights on the boat," Jack Waters said.

"Jenny mentioned that she felt envious of Jack and Tom because they're able to spend nights with Sally and Molly," Ellen said.

"It's up to you, but they're always welcome to stay here when they want to be together," Marge said.

"That's not a bad idea. The four of us work everyday. The kids are home alone," Sarah said. "If they're here, we know that there's someone that can help them if they need it. I'm not suggesting they stay here all the time, but a few days a week wouldn't hurt them."

Jack Waters chuckled. "This from a woman that didn't like her daughter wearing short skirts not too long ago."

"Don't remind me, Honey," Sarah said.

"I've left where Molly stays up to Tom. I think she'll be here more often than she'll be home," Laura said.

"It sounds like we're all on the same page. I don't think the kids will take advantage of the freedoms we're giving them. So far, all of them have displayed level heads," Don said. "There is plenty of room in the guest house for Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy if they want to stay here once in a while."

"Are you going to tell them?" Marge said as she looked at Sarah and Ellen.

"Yes, we'll let them know in a few minutes," Ellen said.

"Did you get everything accomplished in Michigan?" Anne said.

"No, but we made headway. The subdivision is coming along fine. I hired painters to paint the house so we can list it. Sam has made a few more very good investments so our portfolios are doing well. Jack and Harry invested some money through Sam too," Don said.

"If we do as well as Don and Marc, we'll be in great shape," Harry said.

"Okay, what is the plan for today? What time are we going to the yacht?" Marc said.

"Jeri said that we should be there by twelve thirty. She plans to get underway at one," Anne said.

"Good, that gives us time to go home for a while," Harry said. "I should be there by noon at the latest."

Ellen and Sarah smiled. They went outside to talk to their kids before heading home.

"Your fathers and us have decided that if you kids want to stay here once in a while, it's fine with us," Sarah said.

"That's great, Mom," Kathy said. She turned to Kim and Sally. "Is that okay with you guys?"

"Sure, it will be fun," Kim said. Sally, Tom, and Jack agreed.

"You guys can use the two guestrooms," Jack said.

"Thanks, Mom," Jenny said. "We won't make you sorry you guys are letting us do this."

Ellen smiled and said, "We know you won't. We're going to head home for a while. Do you kids have clothes for this afternoon?"

"We have what we need on the boat, Mom," Jenny said.

"We're going to need new things to keep here," Kathy said.

"When you have time, you can come to the shop. We have a bunch of things going on sale," Ellen said.

"Is it all right if I come too?" Molly said.

"Yes, Molly, you're as much a part of our families as anyone," Ellen said.

Smiling, Molly said, "Thank you."

Ellen and Sarah went back into the house. They chatted with Marge, Anne, Don, and Marc for a few minutes before leaving.

"Why don't you and Joel take off, too? We'll see you when it's time to go to the yacht," Marge said to Laura.

Laura grinned. She thanked Marge and Anne. On her way out with Joel, Laura asked if someone could tell Molly that she and Joel would be back in a couple hours.

Marge stuck her head out the door to tell the kids that they should be ready to leave by noon. She went back inside, took Don's hand, and pulled him to his feet.

"I don't know about you, Anne, but I'm as horny as a hoot owl. I'm taking this stud upstairs so he can fuck me," Marge said.

Laughing, Anne said, "Why don't you tell us how you really feel?"

Anne, Marc, Don, and Marge went upstairs to their bedrooms.

"Wow, I can't believe our parents are going to let us spend nights here with you guys," Jenny said.

"I know, isn't it cool?" Sally said.

"We should make sure we have clean outfits for this afternoon. We might have to wash something," Kathy said. "What are you guys going to wear?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Kim said, "Tom, Jack, what are Molly and Sally wearing today?

All of the girls giggled. Tom smiled, looked at Molly, and said, "Molly is going to wear a skirt or sundress."

"So is Sally," Jack said.

Eddie chuckled and moved next to Kathy. She grinned at him. "I'll wear a skirt too if you want me to."

"We should take the reels we want to reline with eighty pound test line to Sid's. We'll want to practice with the heavier line tomorrow," Eddie said.

"Why don't you guys take the reels to Sid's while we get our clothes ready for this afternoon?" Jenny said.

The boys agreed. They headed for the boat to get the reels. Jenny and Kathy went with them to gather the dirty clothes they left in the staterooms.

Tom drove his Expedition to Sid's Tackle Shop. The boys took the box of reels inside, placing them on the counter.

"Hi, Sid, we have a few reels we need relined," Eddie said when Sid came over to them.

"Hi, boys, it's good to see you. I enjoyed your meeting last night, Sally sure did a great job," Sid said.

"Yeah, she put a lot of work into her presentation. I'm glad the club decided to adopt the new rules. I hadn't realized that reducing the length of a fight could have such a positive effect on the health of the fish. After seeing Sally's information, it made sense to me," Jack said.

Sid nodded. He looked into the box and said, "What do you want on these?"

"Eighty pound test. We need to look at reels for the one thirty, too," Brad said.

Sid led the boys to a case of large reels. "I talked with Andy Nester this morning. He wants you to use these," Sid said as he put a reel on the counter. "This is Shimano's top of the line reel for the line class. It will hold a thousand yards of one hundred thirty pound test line."

Tom, Jack, Brad, and Eddie examined the reel. "What do you think? Should we get these or look at other reels?" Tom said.

"I like this one, Tom. We've had good luck with Shimano. What do the rest of you think?" Brad said.

"Andy told me to give you six of them if you want to use this model," Sid said.

"Yeah, I think these will do fine," Jack said.

Sid grinned. "Okay, six it is. I'll tell Andy so he can send me the reels. I should have them in a couple days. When they come in, I'll spool them with Ande one thirty tournament grade."

"Great, Sid. When will the reels we brought in be ready?" Tom said.

"I'll have them finished this afternoon. You can pick them up in the morning," Sid replied. He put the reel back in the case. "I want to thank you for being so nice to Trent. He's very excited about going for a boat ride today and going fishing tomorrow."

"No problem, Sid. We like teaching new fishermen about our sport. Do you know if his Mom is going today too?" Eddie said.

"Yes, she wants to meet your parents. I told her that all of you come from good families, but she still wants to meet your parents before she lets Trent go fishing. Are you taking them out on your fishing boat?" Sid said.

"No, we're going out on Tom and Jack's new yacht. They're taking delivery today," Eddie said.

Sid looked at the boys, raising his eyebrows.

"We, our sisters, Tom, and I are starting a charter business. Eddie's dad built Tomiko for us," Jack said.

"If you don't mind me asking, how can you kids afford a yacht?" Sid said.

"We can't, but our parents can. They made it possible. From what they've told us, it has something to do with tax breaks," Tom said.

"I see. How large is the yacht?" Sid said.

"Tomiko is one hundred forty five feet," Jack said.

"What did Trent say when you told him about the yacht?" Sid asked.

"I don't think anyone told him anything except we were going for a boat ride," Eddie said.

"I think my grandson is going to be surprised. How long will you be out?" Sid said.

"We're taking her down to Key Biscayne and then back to our house. We're serving dinner on the yacht," Jack said. "I'm not sure what time we'll be back, but it won't be too late. We want to get an early start tomorrow morning."

"I have received several calls from your club members. Thanks for the plug last night," Sid said.

"That's cool. I hope you get some business from the club," Eddie said. "You should think about advertising in our newsletter."

"I'll look into that. It can't hurt," Sid said.

The boys left. Sid smiled as he took the box of reels to the backroom.

When they got back to the house, the boys went to look for the girls. They found them in the guesthouse, sitting in the living room. Eddie told the girls about their trip to Sid's and about the new reels.

At eleven thirty, the teens went to the bedrooms to dress. The girls put on their sundresses while the boys put on the slacks and shirts the girls put out for them. Eddie, Jack, Tom, and Brad met in the living room. They sat down to wait for the girls to fix their hair and put on their makeup.

"We're ready to go," Kim said to her mom as the teens walked into the main house.

"We'll be ready if a few minutes, Honey," Marge said.

Jerry, Liz, Sam, and Joanne came into the kitchen. The teens greeted them and then Jack looked at his dad.

"They flew down an hour ago. We thought it would be nice to have everyone there for the delivery," Don said. "Joanne and Jerry were instrumental in bring the yacht to fruition."

"That's cool, we're glad you could make it," Tom said.

The group went out to the limo. They all got in, sitting on the leather seats. Don drove to the boatyard, parking near the office. Harry, Jack Waters, and their wives came out of the building to meet the group. Joel and Laura pulled up as the group exited the limo.

Everyone stood by the office. Harry told the group that they would head to the yacht in a few minutes. Kim kept looking toward the driveway, waiting for Trent and his mom to arrive. She chatted with her brother and the rest of the teens. They noticed that Kim watched for Trent and teased her about it.

A few minutes later, the throaty sound of a hot rod caused everyone to look at the driveway. A bright candy-apple red Chevy rumbled into the lot.

"Take a look at that car," Don said.

"I think that's Trent, Dad," Kim said as she watched the car pulling into the boatyard.

Trent pulled up near the group. He got out, waving to the teens. Trent went around his car to open the door for his mother. Laura did a double take as the slim, auburn haired woman got out and stood next to Trent.

"Jodie? Jodie Forester?" Laura said as she walked toward the woman.

"Oh my God! Laura!" Jodie said.

The two women stood close looking at one another. Then they hugged. "You haven't changed since high school," Laura said standing with her hands on Jodie's shoulders.

"You look the same too. Well, maybe a bit older, but don't we all?" Jodie said. She turned to her son. "Laura, this is my son, Trent."

"Hi, Trent. Your mother and I went to school together," Laura said.

Kim walked over to Trent. She smiled, shifted on her feet, and said, "Hi, Trent. I'm glad you made it."

"Hi, Kim. Yeah, I was able to talk Mom into letting me come," Trent said.

Laura put her arm around Jodie's waist. She led her over to the group and began introducing her. Moving to her daughter, Laura said, "This is my daughter, Molly. Molly, this is Jodie Forester. She was my best friend in high school."

"It's Jodie McBride now. I'm pleased to meet you, Molly," Jodie said.

Laura led Jodie over to Joel. "Jodie, this is my fiancé, Joel."

"Hi, Joel," Jodie said.

"I'm pleased to meet you, Jodie," Joel said.

"Your car is boss!" Eddie said. He and the other teens moved over to where Trent stood with Kim.

"Thanks." Trent opened the door so the teens could look inside. "My dad found it in New Mexico. He brought it home and we restored it together. He taught me to drive in this car."

"What year is it?" Tom asked.

"It's a fifty-six," Trent said. He walked to the hood, reached into the grill, and opened it. "We put a new 327 in her. It's been bored, stroked, and balanced. We also put the dual-quads on the engine."

The teens stood around the open hood looking at the red and chrome engine.

"Maybe you'll take me for a ride someday," Kim said to Trent.

Trent blushed as he nodded.

Once Laura finished introducing Jodie to the adults, Harry stepped toward the covered slips.

"Folks, it's time to go," Harry said.

Kim, Jack, Tom, and Sally walked over to Harry when he asked them too. The group walked across the yard toward the door to the slip. Pausing with his hand on the handle, Harry said, "Is everyone ready?"

Everyone nodded. Harry opened the door, letting Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally into the shed. As the rest of the group filed in, the teens stood on the pier. Harry led them amidships to the hatch leading to the deck.

Jeri, April, Yoshi, Frank, and Erin stood on the deck in their smart uniforms. The teen followed Harry aboard, giggling as they passed the crew. One by one, the rest of the group went aboard. Harry led the group into the main salon. He waited a moment while everyone came in.

"Jack, Kim, Tom, Sally, I present to you Tomiko," Harry said. He handed each of the teens a set of keys to the boat.

Jeri, April, Frank, and Erin picked up trays of champagne. As they moved through the crowd, they made sure everyone took one of the fluted crystal glasses.

"I would like to propose a toast to the new owners. May you always have fair winds and following seas. Bowman Boats is pleased to have you as clients," Harry said. Everyone cheered and sipped their champagne.

"Now, that's what I say to all of the new owners. However, you are different. Not only are you valued clients, you're friends. Friendship is much more important than almost anything in this world.

"I have to tell you that when I found that I would be building a custom yacht for a group of teenagers, I was skeptical. Commissioning a yacht of this caliber is a daunting task. Most owners are so involved in the phases of design, construction, and finish that it makes our jobs difficult at best. The four of you are nothing like most owners. You didn't try to make decisions about things you knew nothing about. Building Tomiko was truly a pleasure for Bowman Boats.

"I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Jeri, the captain, April, the chief steward, and Jack Waters whose expertise has moved Bowman Boats up several notches with his eye for detail. Joanne's flair for decorating brings a new look to Tomiko. She managed to meld the Japanese décor with a traditional nautical theme. All of the employees of Bowman Boats have been a part of the construction of Tomiko and share in the success equally.

"Finally, I want to thank our new friends. You all know who you are. I could go on for an hour or more, mentioning each of you, but I think I've said enough.

"Once again, thank you. Enjoy your new yacht," Harry said.

Everyone cheered and clapped. Jeri stepped forward and said, "If you'll follow me to the pilothouse, we'll get this show on the road."

The group followed Jeri up the spiral staircase from the saloon to the pilothouse. She led Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally to the helm, pausing until the entire group was there.

"I have never done this before, but I've been on yachts at their delivery. It is customary for the owners to start the engines for the first voyage," Jeri said.

Jeri moved the teens closer. She pointed at the two keys in the dash. Tom and Sally put their hand on the starboard key. Jack and Kim placed their hand on the port key. Giggling, the teens twisted the keys. The engines came to life, causing the entire group to cheer.

Jack turned around to face the group. He pulled Sally closer to his side. "Thank you for everything. This is very exciting," Jack said.

Jeri went over the safety features. She told everyone where they would find the personal flotation devises, and gave them a brief description of the lifeboats. When she finished, Jeri called down to the deck. She told Frank and Erin to cast off. When the yacht began to move, everyone cheered again.

"I thought you said you weren't interviewing Frank and Erin anymore," Kim said.

"You're right, I did say that. When I said it, we'd hired them," Jeri said. "April and I thought we'd surprise you."

"You did. Thanks," Kim said.

"Once we're underway, I'll conduct tours of Tomiko. When we clear the shed, we'll move up to the sundeck where Yoshi will serve hors d'oeuvre. The bar is open for your pleasure," April said.

Jeri backed the yacht out of the shed. Using the bow thruster and engines, she turned the yacht in the canal. Jack and Sally stood on one side of Jeri. Tom waved Molly up to stand with him and Kim. Kim giggled and went to get Trent.

"We can go up to the sundeck now," April announced.

As the group made their way to the sundeck, Jeri said, "You should go up with your guests. When we get into the ICW, I'll go up and run the yacht from the flying bridge."

Jack, Sally, and the rest of the teens went up to the sundeck. They found their friends, joining them.

"Is this really your boat?" Trent asked Kim.

Kim giggled and nodded. "Yeah, it's all of ours. We have a charter business," Kim said.

"I didn't realize that we were going out on something like this. When you said a boat ride, I thought we'd be on something smaller," Trent said.

"I hope you're not disappointed," Kim said.

"Hardly, this is cool," Trent replied with a grin.

"Were you serious about taking this out and going swordfish fishing?" Jenny said.

"You bet we're serious. We can stay out for a couple days if we want to," Jack said.

"You can fish on a boat like this?" Trent asked.

"Sure, you can fish on almost any boat," Tom said. "I guess it would be hard on a cruise ship because of how far off the water you'd be, but we always planned to use this boat to fish."

The teens moved to the bar. They asked April for sodas. When Molly saw Erin, she asked Tom if she could go talk to her. Tom smiled, put his hand on Molly's waist, and led her over to where Erin stood.

"Hi, isn't this great?" Molly said to her cousin.

"It's wonderful. I understand you guys didn't know that Frank and I were hired," Erin said.

"No we didn't. Jeri and April kept it a secret," Tom said. "Do you think you're going to like working on the yacht?"

"We love it so far. Mr. Graham flew Frank down ten days ago. We've been on the boat every day since then. You wouldn't believe how much there is to learn. Jeri and April are great bosses," Erin said as she looked around. "Excuse me. I have to take care of a few things."

Erin walked over to the grill. She talked to Yoshi and then went to get plates and silverware.

The teens mingled in the crowd. Trent waved at his mom. Jodie sat with Laura, catching up on old times.

"How did you meet these people?" Jodie asked Laura.

"It's a long story. Molly met the kids and started fishing with them. Don, Marge, Marc, and Anne invited us to a dinner. At the dinner, I learned that they bought the kids a fishing boat. They've included Molly in everything. She's part of the fishing team.

"A few weeks later, I lost my job. The woman I took care of passed away. Marge and Anne hired me as their housekeeper. Now I work for them," Laura said.

"Trent wants to go fishing with the kids," Jodie said.

"Are you going to let him go?" Laura asked her old friend.

"I don't know. I worry about him being with a bunch of teenagers without supervision."

Laura chuckled as she nodded her head. "When Molly met the kids, they asked her to spend the night on the boat. She wanted to tell me she was staying with one of her girlfriends, but the kids wouldn't let her. They made her call me and tell the truth.

"None of the kids smoke. They don't do drugs and the only time any of them drink is when we were with them. Since Molly started hanging around with this group, her grades improved. She broke up with her loser boyfriend and began taking better care of herself. Molly is Tom's girlfriend now."

"Trent started smoking after his father died. He started hanging around with the wrong crowd too. The only thing he shows any interest in is his car," Jodie said.

"That's how it was with Molly, but instead of a car, she had a jerk of a boyfriend. Now she's into fishing of all things. We went to the Bahamas for a tournament. The kids won and earned thirty thousand dollars. They use most of their winnings for the fishing team," Laura said.

"Isn't that a long way to go fishing?"

"We went down a few days before the tournament. The kids stay on the boat and the adults stay in a hotel when they travel. I had a great time," Laura said.

"You guys let the kids stay on the boat? Are you afraid that they'll—you know?"

Laura laughed. "If you're asking if I'm afraid that the kids will have sex, I'm not the least bit afraid. We know they screw like a bunch of rabbits."

"You're kidding! You let Molly have sex?"

"No, I don't let her. Molly does what she does on her own. Think about it. Was there anything our parents could have done to stop us from doing the things we did when we were their age? If I remember, you were as wild as I was in high school," Laura said.

Jodie chuckled as she nodded her head. "Don't remind me."

"Why not? Are you sorry about the things you did? I know I'm not. I made mistakes, but I've managed to survive," Laura said. "Look, Trent is your son and you have to do what you feel is best for him. All I know is that when Molly started hanging around with this group she changed for the better. My daughter has never been happier than she is now."

"Do all the parents feel the same as you feel about the kids?" Jodie said.

"Yes, we all talk about our kids and the things they do together. We also talk openly with our kids. I've learned that if I'm open and honest with Molly, she's open and honest with me. Now she doesn't have to lie about the things she does. If Molly wants to have sex, she doesn't have to sneak around," Laura said. "Did Trent have a girlfriend before you moved?"

"He dated a girl for a short while, but it didn't last," Jodie said. "I don't know why they broke up."

Jodie and Laura changed the subject when Marge, Ellen, Anne, and Sarah came over. They pulled us deck chairs so they could visit with Jodie and Laura.

Kim stuck close to Trent. They sat near Jeri, watching her operate the yacht. Trent asked several questions that Jeri answered for him. Kim asked Trent if he would like a tour of the yacht. He nodded and got up with Kim.

"Hi, Frank, this is Trent. Trent, this is Frank. Frank is Jenny and Eddie's cousin. He and his girlfriend Erin work on the yacht," Kim said.

Frank and Trent shook hands. "I saw your car when you pulled in. I'd like to see it one of these days," Frank said.

"Sure, anytime you want to," Trent said.

"Frank, do you have time to give Trent and me a tour of the yacht?" Kim said.

"Let me check with April. If she says it's okay, I will," Frank said.

"Do you think we can see the engines?" Trent asked Kim while Frank checked with April.

"Sure," Kim said with a giggle.

Frank returned. He told Kim and Trent that he could take them on a short tour.

"Trent wants to see the engine room," Kim said.

Frank led Kim and Trent below. He took them to the crews' quarters, showing them the area that he and Erin shared. After giving Trent and Kim ear protection, Frank took them into the engine room. Trent looked around, but because of the noise, he was unable to ask Frank questions.

"The engine room is amazing," Trent said after they removed the muffs.

"She is powered by twin 16V2000 Detroit Diesel/MTU Engines, each developing eighteen hundred horsepower. There are twin Northern Lights generators, each of them rated at ninety-nine kW. The Watermaker will convert forty five hundred gallons of seawater to freshwater a day," Frank said. "The fuel tanks hold a total of ninety two hundred gallons. The water tank holds one thousand gallons. There is a five hundred gallon holding tank and a black-water processing unit. The black-water is the waste from the toilets."

"I'd like to be able to take a look around when the engines aren't running," Trent said.

"We can look at the engine room when we get home," Kim said.

Frank took Trent and Kim through the yacht. He showed them the master and VIP staterooms on the main deck and four guest staterooms below. After the brief tour, the three of them went back up to the sundeck.

"This yacht is so amazing. I never knew that boats could be so elegant," Trent said.

Kim led Trent to two deck chairs. They sat down, gazing out at the sights along the ICW.

"Did you have a girlfriend?" Kim asked Trent.

"No, I used to have a girlfriend, but she broke up with me," Trent replied. "We went together for a couple months. When my dad died, I went into a funk. She said I wasn't fun and we broke up."

"I'm sorry," Kim said.

Trent shrugged his shoulders. "Um, do you have a boyfriend?"

"No."

"It looks like the other kids are all couples," Trent said.

"Yeah." Kim told Trent the relationships between her friends.

Jeri cruised into Biscayne Bay. She stayed close to shore so the guests could see the homes and yachts.

"Mr. Levinson, I have a sponsor agreement we need you to look at for us. Ande Line wants to sponsor our fishing team, but I told them we wouldn't agree to anything until you review it," Sally said.

"I'll be happy to review the agreement for you," Joel said.

"Thank you. I'll show it to you later," Sally said. She smiled and went to talk with Jenny and Brad.

April took the guests on tours of the yacht. Yoshi kept the food plates full while Erin and Frank passed the tasty items to the guests.

"Come with me," Tom said to Molly.

Molly took Tom's hand. He led her down a level and into the master stateroom. After closing the door, Tom took Molly in his arms. He kissed her, holding her close to his body.

Tom kept kissing Molly as he guided her into the spacious head. He pulled up the back of her dress causing Molly to giggle. Tom moved his hand under the thin band of her thong. He slid it down between her legs, rubbing her vulva. Molly moaned in Tom's mouth as he fingered her.

"Take my cock out," Tom said.

Molly reached down to unfasten Tom's slacks. She lowered the zipper, reached through the fly in his boxers, and extracted his penis. Molly stroked Tom's hard member. He worked a second finger into Molly's wet vagina.

"Turn around, Baby," Tom said. "We're going to be the first ones to fuck on the yacht."

Molly giggled. She turned around, grabbing the marble counter with both hands. Tom flipped the back of her dress up on her back. He pulled Molly's thong aside, gripped his penis, and rubbed it against her labia.

"Oh yeah, that's so good," Molly said as Tom slid into her. He grabbed her hips, pulling her back against him. She looked up into the mirror, smiling at Tom.

Tom pumped his penis in and out of Molly. She bucked back against him, meeting his thrusts. Tom kept it up for several minutes. He reached around to diddle Molly's clit. She let out a moan.

"When I come, I'm going to do it in your mouth. I'll let you know so you can turn around" Tom said.

"Okay, Baby, whatever you want," Molly said as she wiggled her butt.

Their frenzied coupling went on for several minutes. Tom's attention to Molly's clit brought on an orgasm. He told Molly that he couldn't hold out any longer. She pulled away, turned around, and took his penis in her mouth. A moment later, Molly swallowed Tom's semen.

Tom pulled Molly to her feet. They hugged, kissed, and then broke out laughing.

"That was our first quickie," Molly said with a giggle.

"I couldn't last any longer," Tom told her.

"I don't care, Baby. It was great. You can do that anytime you feel like it. I hope you enjoyed it as much and I did," Molly said. She looked up into Tom's eyes. "Why didn't you come in my pussy?"

"I didn't think you'd want to walk around leaking all day," Tom said with a chuckle.

"It wouldn't have bothered me to have your come running down my legs," Molly said. She giggled. "Thanks for thinking about me."

Tom redid his slacks. "Molly, I always think about you."

Tom and Molly left the stateroom. They went to the sundeck to get sodas. Kim saw Tom and Molly. She excused herself and got up. Kim went over to Tom and said, "Can you help me round up the rest of the team please?"

"Sure, what's up?" Tom said.

"I'll tell you in a minute. Meet me over by Trent," Kim said.

Nodding, Tom told Molly to see if she could find Eddie, Kathy, Brad, and Jenny. He went to look for Jack. Tom looked around the main deck. He went below to check the staterooms. Jack and Sally came out of one of the guest staterooms, both of them laughing.

"Kim wants us for something," Tom said. "What have you two been doing?"

"We just christened the yacht in our own way," Sally said with a giggle.

Tom smirked. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Molly and I took care of that a while ago."

"You're a dick!" Sally said.

"Why?"

"Because you and Molly beat Jack and me," Sally said and then she giggled.

Jack, Tom, and Sally went up to the sundeck. They went over to where the rest of the team stood waiting for them.

"Come with me please," Kim said. She took Trent's hand, pulling him to his feet.

Kim led the group to the group of adults. She found Trent's mom and stood near her. "Mrs. McBride, we want to take Trent fishing tomorrow. Can he go with us?" Kim said.

Jodie looked at the group of teens. She saw all of them smiling and nodding their heads.

"Yes, Kim, Trent can go fishing with you kids tomorrow," Jodie said.

"If he likes it, can he fish in our club tournament too? It's a week from tomorrow," Kim said.

Jodie chuckled and nodded her head. Each of the team members thanked Jodie before they left. Kim asked April if she would turn on the stereo. April said she would.

While the adults sat under the hardtop of the upper deck, the teens sat in the sun.

"Are they always so polite?" Jodie asked Marge.

"They damn well better be," Marge replied. "We allow them a lot of freedom, but that doesn't mean they can be rude or disrespectful. If they screw up, they'll find themselves fishing from shore and they know it. Trust is earned, not granted."

"Haven't they ever goofed up and made a mistake?" Jodie asked.

"When we lived in Michigan, Jack and Tom were expelled for fighting. They beat the crap out of two boys that weren't very nice to their sisters. That's about the only thing that Anne's and my kids have done," Marge said.

"We haven't had a problem with Jenny and Eddie. They value their fishing too much to get into trouble," Ellen said. Sarah nodded, telling Jodie the same thing.

"Um, Laura told me you don't mind the kids being intimate," Jodie said.

"We would rather know where they are than not. Let's face it; kids are going to do what they want when it comes to sex. I'd rather they were on the boat or the house than in the backseat of a car like I used to have to do," Ellen said.

Jodie chuckled. "The backseat of the car wasn't that bad."

"No, but things have changed in the world. I'm not concerned about what they do, but I am concerned about having some weirdo doing something," Sarah said.

Laura pointed aft. "It looks as if Trent is fitting in with the team, doesn't it?"

Jodie looked where Laura pointed. She saw the teens dancing and laughing. Jodie stared for a few moments before turning back to the other moms. She wiped a tear from her eyes.

"I haven't seen Trent laughing in a long time," Jodie said.

"Just to ease your mind, all of the girls are taking birth control. None of us want to be grandparents yet," Laura said. All of the women laughed.

Jodie couldn't help glancing at her son. She thought about the nights that Trent cried himself to sleep after losing his father. Jodie also remembered the nights she did the same thing. As she sat in the warm air, Jodie realized that it had been a long time since she'd allowed herself to have fun.

A slow song came on. Kim put her arms around Trent and asked him to dance with her.

"I don't know how to dance," Trent said.

"Sure you do. All you have to do is hold me and sway to the music," Kim said. Trent put his hands on Kim's hips. He moved gently while looking into her eyes. Kim grinned. "You can hold me closer if you want to. I don't bite—well, not too hard."

Trent laughed. He pulled Kim a little closer, but maintained a respectful distance. Kim sighed. She looked into Trent's eyes, smiling as they danced. When the song ended, Kim gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thank you for dancing with me," Kim said.

Kim and Trent sat down. The other kids sat close to them.

"Sid said the reels should be ready in the morning. What do you think, should we go for dolphin, wahoo, or billfish?" Brad said.

"We should use the one hundred thirty pound test if we're going to fish for bills. We can target dolphin and wahoo tomorrow," Sally said.

"Okay, we'll head out about five miles. The paper said the Gulf Stream is five miles off shore," Brad said. "The baitfish should be following the warm water."

"How did you guys learn all this?" Trent said.

"We learned a lot by trial and error. Jenny and I worked for a charter captain last summer and he taught us a lot about fishing. We read books and fish too," Eddie said.

"I didn't know there was so much to it. My grandpa has been telling me about the things in his shop, but it's hard to understand what he's saying," Trent said.

"Don't worry, we'll teach you if you like fishing. We didn't know anything until we met these guys," Kim said.

"I'd sure like to give it a try," Trent said.

The teens all started talking. They told Trent that he was welcome to join them to see if he liked offshore fishing. They talked about seamanship, telling Trent the nautical names for places and items on a boat.

Don stood at the bar with the other men. They talked about business as well as the day. Jerry excused himself. He walked to the helm, taking a seat next to Jeri. "Jeri, I'd like to book a charter. I want to take my partners down to the Bahamas. Do you have any dates in July?"

"Yes we do. How many guests will you have?" Jeri said.

"There will be six couples."

"That's great. I'll contact you to set a firm date. We'll have our menu options available in a few days." Jeri smiled at Jerry Stone. "Thank you."

"You'll let the kids know?" Jerry said.

"You bet I will. I'm sure they'll be very happy."

"Jeri, I'm not looking for a special deal. My firm can afford the charter cost," Jerry said.

"I assure you it will be worth the price, Mr. Stone," Jeri assured him.

Jerry left. Jeri called April on the hand-held radio. When April came up from the galley, Jeri gave her the news. April screeched, causing the adults to look toward the helm.

"I think Jeri just told April that I want to book a charter," Jerry said.

Yoshi announced dinner was ready. He stood at the grill, waiting for the guests to line up. Frank and Erin placed bowls of salad, fresh vegetables, and other things on a buffet table. Yoshi served steaks, skewered shrimp, and marinated chicken breasts. The teens waited until their parents finished getting their food before they went to get theirs.

Frank, Erin, and April offered the guests folding tables. The teens sat around the table on the sundeck. They ate their meals, commenting on how good the food tasted.

"I guess there's something else you should know, Jodie," Laura said.

"What now?" Jodie replied with a chuckle.

"Tan lines," Laura said.

Jodie looked at Laura and furrowed her brow.

"The kids don't have them," Marge said.

"None of us have tan lines," Ellen said.

"I guess that shouldn't surprise me," Jodie said.

"No, it shouldn't. As I remember you were always one of the first to shed her knickers when we went skinny dipping," Laura said.

Jodie laughed. "As I remember it, you were a close second when you didn't beat me. God, I'd almost forgotten about that. I remember the night the cops caught us. They took us home and told our parents. I thought my dad was going to tan my hide."

"Did he?" Anne said.

"No, Dad and Mom were pretty cool about the whole thing. I think Dad was upset because we got caught, not because of what we did," Jodie said. She laughed and turned to Laura. "I can't believe that in a few short hours, you've completely destroyed everything I knew about raising a child. I guess I can't be too hard on Trent for doing things I did at his age, can I?"

"Sure you can. The question is do you want to? No one is going to try to get Trent to do something he doesn't want to do. I guess the most important thing you can do is let him know that you won't get pissed if he does something. As we keep saying, don't force him to lie to you," Sarah said.

Jodie chuckled, but she also thought about the things the other women told her.

"Hey, Frank, when is your mom going to move down here?" Eddie said.

"Didn't your mom tell you? Mom moved down with me. We're living with Maria now," Frank replied.

"I'll bet Mom didn't tell us because everyone wanted to keep the fact you and Erin are working on the yacht a secret," Jenny said. She jumped up and went to her mom. "Mom, did you know that Aunt Sally moved down here too? She's living with Maria."

"I know she is, Jenny. We didn't say anything because Jeri and April wanted to surprise you. They didn't want you to know they hired Frank and Erin," Ellen said.

Jeri cruised around Biscayne Bay while the others enjoyed the scenery. Yoshi made sure the guests had snacks to munch on while they talked with one another. Erin and Frank moved through the group, taking and filling drink orders.

The teens stayed in the sun, dancing, talking, and drinking sodas. Kim and Trent danced together whenever a slow song came on. She helped him, teaching Trent how to move his feet in a simple box step.

"Come with me," Sally said to Kim. She grabbed her cousin's arm, pulling her from the chair.

"Where are we going?" Kim asked as she followed Sally.

"I have to use the head and I want to talk to you," Sally replied.

In the head, Sally sat on the toilet. She giggled and said, "So, how are things going with Trent?"

"Fine, we're getting to know each other," Kim replied.

"I think he's cute. Shy, but cute," Sally said with a giggle. She finished and got up so Kim could sit on the toilet.

"Trent is shy, but I think he'll be okay with us, Sally. I like him," Kim said.

Giggling, Sally said, "What happened to the girl that didn't want a boyfriend?"

"I never said I didn't want a boyfriend. I said I didn't want a committed relationship. Give me a break, I just met Trent."

"I know, but watching you makes me think you two are going to end up together. That boy can't keep his eyes off you. Has he tried to kiss you yet?" Sally said.

"No, but I'd kiss him if he tried," Kim replied with a giggle.

"Are you tired of sleeping alone?"

Kim shook her head. The two girls finished in the head and returned to the sundeck. Sally winked at Kim as she went to sit with Trent.

"Are you having fun?" Kim asked Trent.

"I'm having a blast, Kim. This is so cool. My friends aren't going to believe me when I tell them about your boat—I mean yacht," Trent said.

"Are you going to tell them about me?" Kim said.

"Yeah, if it's okay I will," Trent said. He fidgeted in his chair. "Can I tell them I went out with you?"

"Are you asking me for a date?" Kim said. She grinned, hoping that Trent would ask her out.

"Um, yeah, I guess I am. Would you like to go out with me?" Trent said.

"Yes, I'd like that. When?"

"I don't know. We could go out tonight if we don't get back too late. Would you like to go to a movie or something?" Trent said.

"I'll have to ask my parents if I can go. If I can, we can't stay out too late because we're going fishing tomorrow," Kim said.

"You guys are serious about fishing, aren't you?"

"Yes, very serious. We all love fishing and go as often as we can. Our team is good at it and we do great in the tournaments we fish," Kim said.

"Doesn't that make it hard to have a boyfriend? I mean if you spend all of your time fishing, there isn't much time to go out," Trent said.

Kim giggled and said, "Not if he likes to fish!"

Trent nodded and smiled. "I hope I like fishing."

"So do I, Trent," Kim replied and then she giggled. "We'll find out tomorrow. You aren't feeling sick or anything, are you?" Trent shook his head. "Our fishing boat isn't this big and it can get rough off-shore."

"I think I can handle it, Kim. Isn't there medicine you can take for seasickness?"

"Yeah, in fact, I think we have some on the boat. The trouble is, once you're sick, it doesn't help," Kim said.

"I'm going to try without taking anything. That way I'll know," Trent said. "What time are we going?"

"I don't know, let's go ask," Kim said. She and Trent went over to where Jack, Eddie, Brad, and Tom stood talking to each other.

"What time are we going out tomorrow morning?" Kim said.

"We should take off by eight or so. We have to pick up our reels from Sid first," Jack replied.

"I could bring them with me in the morning if you want," Trent offered.

"That would be great, Trent. Thanks," Jack said. "We'll leave as soon as you get to the house."

"Trent, you should come for breakfast," Kim said.

"Okay, what time?" Trent said.

"We get up at six or six thirty. You can come then if you want," Kim said.

"Wow, that's early! Why do you get up so early?" Trent asked.

"We like to get up early so we have the entire day to have fun. We work out every other day and swim every morning," Jack said.

"Brad, our sisters, and I are going to work out with them too. We want to spend as much time fishing as we can. I hope that we can go out almost everyday," Eddie said.

"I'm used to sleeping in until ten or so. Then I work on my car," Trent said.

"Isn't your car finished?" Kim asked.

Trent shrugged his shoulders. "There's always something to do on it. When I lived in Iowa, there wasn't much else to do. My friends used to come over and hang around at my house."

Kim grinned. "I hope you like fishing, Trent. That way you'll have us as friends to hang around with."

Trent smiled at Kim. "I think I'd like that."

"We don't fish all the time so you'll still have time to spend on your car. I'd like to watch so I can learn about cars," Eddie said.

"That's cool. You guys can come over anytime you want to. I'm always fiddling around trying to make it run better," Trent said.

Jeri used a handheld two-way radio to tell Frank and Erin she would dock in a few minutes. Frank and Erin went down to the main deck to wait for Jeri to pull the boat alongside the seawall. Jack and Tom went down with them.

"We've practiced this several times. Jeri and April have been teaching Erin and me for the past week. We even brought the yacht to the house so we would know what to do," Frank said.

"Do you two like working for Jeri and April?" Tom said.

"I love it so far. They are so nice and patient with us," Erin said.

Jeri moved the yacht toward the seawall. Frank and Erin took their positions, standing ready with large round fenders. As Jeri eased the yacht against the seawall, Frank and Erin positioned the fenders between the hull and the seawall. Tom and Jack watched them secure the fenders and grab the dock lines. Frank and Erin tied the lines to the cleats on the seawall, making sure to leave sufficient slack for the tide.

Frank opened the hatch and jumped off the yacht. Erin stood ready, waiting for Frank to place the ramp so the passengers could walk off the boat.

"This is a tide platform. The wheels at the bottom allow it to adjust when the yacht rises and falls with the tide. We have another one stowed onboard for when we go to other ports," Erin said.

"We have a few things to take care of. Erin and I will see you later," Frank said to Jack and Tom.

Jeri shut down the yacht. The guests disembarked, gathering along the seawall. They all commented on the yacht, food, and service.

"Jack, I need to have you and Tom shuttle the cars from the boatyard back here. See if Eddie and Brad will help you," Don said. "We're going to have a few drinks and sit outside."

Jack and Tom found Eddie and Brad. They told their friends what Don asked them to do. Jack called Trent over to ask him if he wanted to go get his car. Kim said she would go too.

Tom drove his Expedition to the boatyard. "Okay, I'll drive the limo. Brad and Eddie can take their parents' cars and Trent can drive his. We'll meet back at the house," Jack said.

Trent held the door for Kim. She slipped into the bucket seat, making sure her skirt didn't rise too high. He closed her door and ran to the other side of the car. Trent started the hotrod, waiting for the engine to warm up before taking off.

"Did you have fun today?" Kim said.

"Yes, I'm having a blast," Trent replied. He looked at Kim, returning her smile.

"Trent, I need to talk to you for a minute. I like you and I hope you like me." Grinning, Trent nodded. Kim giggled and went on. "I don't like silly games. If there's something you want, just ask. If I say no, don't get mad and don't stop asking unless I tell you to. Do you understand what I mean?"

Trent shrugged his shoulders. "I haven't gone out with many girls, Kim. In fact, I only dated one girl. What I'm trying to tell you is that I don't know what to do. The last thing I want to do is piss you off."

"You won't piss me off as long as you're honest with me. If I ask you something, don't lie to me. If you ask me, I won't lie to you," Kim said.

Trent shifted nervously in his seat. He tapped the accelerator, causing the powerful engine to roar for a moment. He looked at Kim and smiled.

"Um, ah, can I kiss you?" Trent said softly.

Giggling, Kim said, "I thought you'd never ask!"

Chapter 50


Trent and Kim leaned into each other. Their lips met awkwardly, as they cocked their heads. Kim detected Trent's inexperience, but it didn't deter her. Kissing closed mouth, the two teens began moving their heads. A moment later, Trent pulled back.

"I haven't done much kissing," Trent confessed.

Grinning, Kim giggled. "We'll have to practice."

Trent returned Kim's grin as he nodded his head. He put his car in gear, backing out of the parking space. Kim sat sideways in the seat, watching Trent shift gears. He seemed distant to her.

"Are you okay?" Kim said.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Kim."

"You look like something's bothering you. Didn't you like kissing me?" Kim said.

"It was the best kiss I've ever had. Like I said, I haven't done it much."

"You said you used to have a girlfriend. Didn't you kiss her?"

"Yeah, we kissed a few times. I went out with her because my best friend asked me to double with him and his girlfriend. We went out for a couple months. When my dad became sick, I spent most of my time with him. After Dad passed away, we started dating again.

"I guess I wasn't much fun. I was so sad and couldn't think of anything except Dad. We went out a few more times and then she told me she wanted to break up. I spent all of my time finishing my car after that," Trent said.

"Well, if she couldn't understand, you probably didn't need her anyway," Kim said. "Do you still think about her? Is that what's bothering you, Trent?"

Trent shook his head. "I've had a great time today, Kim. You guys have treated me so nice. I guess I'm wondering what's going to happen now. I mean, all of you are rich and I'm just a kid from Iowa. I don't think I fit in."

Kim told Trent where to turn as he drove toward the house. She started to giggle and put her hand on top of the hand Trent rested on top of the shifter.

"You're funny," Kim said. "Just a little over a year ago, my family lived in a small house in the suburbs of Detroit. Dad won the lottery and things changed, but I haven't—none of us have. My parents have money, but that doesn't mean that we're spoiled brats or anything.

"Trent, you can fit in if you want to. We don't smoke, do drugs, or get into trouble. We fish, boat, and have fun. I'm not telling you to be something you're not, but I think that if you hang around with us, you'll find you're no different from the rest of us."

"I smoke," Trent said.

"That's up to you. Me, I don't like the taste or the smell of it. So, if you want to kiss me, you're going to have to brush your teeth after you have one of those stinky things."

"Maybe I should try to quit," Trent said with a grin. Kim giggled.

Trent stopped at a red light. Kim stretched over and kissed Trent. They continued to kiss until the car behind them honked the horn. Laughing, Trent took off.

Jack, Tom, and the rest of the teens waited for Kim and Trent to arrive. They sat by the pool, talking about the yacht moored against the seawall. Molly waved at Erin, watching her cousin and Frank washing the yacht.

"Hey, what did you two do, stop somewhere?" Jenny said when Kim and Trent joined the rest of the group.

"Yeah, we checked into a motel," Kim said. She giggled and stuck out her tongue.

"No we didn't!" Trent said as he stood next to Kim and blushed.

"Don't mind them, Trent. You'll get used to the teasing," Kim said.

"Hey, Trent, would you like to check out the fishing boat?" Brad said.

"Sure, I think I saw it already. Is it the boat on the trailer by the garage?" Trent replied.

"That's one of our boats. Lucky Lady is the first boat our parents bought," Kim said.

"It's all of ours," Jack said correcting his sister. "We might use that one for inshore fishing. Come with us, we'll show you the boat we're taking out tomorrow."

The teens walked down to the seawall. Walking along the seawall, Kim pointed. "That's Lady Guinevere. She's the fishing team's boat. We'll take her out tomorrow morning."

Kim took Trent's hand. The teens climbed aboard, gathering in the cockpit. They started talking, telling Trent about the boat.

"Let's go below and I'll show you the engine room," Tom said to Trent.

"I can't get over how big the engines are. They must burn a bunch of fuel," Trent said. He leaned over, looking at one of the four turbochargers.

Eddie came into the engine room. He and Tom showed Trent all of the equipment, explaining each item.

"Who takes care of the engines and other things in the engine room?" Trent asked.

"We do. If we need anything major, we can take the boat to my dad's boatyard so the mechanics can take care of it. We take care of changing the oil and things like that," Eddie said.

"I'd like to learn more about diesel engines," Trent said.

"If you decide you like fishing with us, you'll have your chance," Tom said.

Trent, Tom, and Eddie went back up to the cockpit. They showed Trent the pilothouse and sundeck. Kim and the girls took Trent down to the staterooms. They showed him each of the rooms and the heads. As they gave Trent the tour, the girls taught him the proper names for the things they showed him.

"Want to check out the tackle?" Kathy said. "You have to learn about that too."

Trent, feeling overwhelmed by all of the new information, as well as the friendliness of the teens nodded. He followed the girls up to the salon and out to the cockpit. For the next half hour, the teens showed Trent the different rods, reels, tackle, and other things they'd use while fishing.

Eddie sat Trent in the fighting chair. Giving him a rod, Eddie showed Trent how to fight a fish. After a stint in the chair, Brad helped Trent into one of the harnesses.

"There sure is a lot to know, isn't there?" Trent said while Brad showed him how to use his legs to apply pressure on a fish.

"Yeah, but like anything else, the more you do it the better you get. If you like it, and start fishing with us, it'll become second nature," Brad said.

Trent helped put the rods and reels away. They stood in the cockpit, telling him what to expect the following day. Trent asked questions and someone in the group answered them for him.

Kim stood next to Trent, both of them leaning against the gunwale. Tom told Molly to get everyone sodas and Jack told Sally to help her. Trent glanced at Kim. She smiled and said, "It's a long story."

Frank and Erin walked over to the boat. Frank said hi, asking for permission to come aboard. Molly saw her cousin and Frank. She went back to the galley to get two more sodas.

"You guys did great today," Jack said to Frank and Erin. "I'm glad you two got the jobs."

"So are we. Frank and I love it, don't we, Baby?" Erin said.

"You bet we do. Jeri said that Erin and I could stay in the crew's quarters. We're going to," Frank said.

"April told us we have our first paying charter too. We're taking Mr. Stone and some of the people from his law firm down to the Bahamas. We're going to be out for a week," Erin said.

"How's Cindy doing? I haven't talked to her in a long time," Eddie said.

"Cindy is good. She and Kevin are still fighting all the time, but if you ask me, they do it so they can make up," Erin said.

"Cindy and Kevin are going together. Cindy's mom is going to marry Erin's dad. Eddie used to date Cindy," Kim said to Trent, keeping her voice low.

Trent nodded. He put his arm behind Kim, lightly touching her back. Kim grinned as she slid closer to him.

"Did you guys get to meet Trent? He's going fishing with us tomorrow. Trent and his mom just moved down here from Iowa. Sid, the man that owns the tackle shop we use, is Trent's granddad," Kim said.

Frank moved toward Trent. He extended his hand, shaking Trent's hand. "I just moved down here too. My mom and I used to live in Ohio," Frank said.

"That's cool. So, you and Erin work for Kim and the rest of them?" Trent said.

"They work for April and Jeri. April and Jeri run Tomiko," Kim said. "They're our friends."

"I thought that you, Jack, Tom, and Sally owned the boat," Trent said to Kim.

"We do, but we hired Jeri and April to run it for us. We don't know enough about it to do it ourselves. Not yet," Sally said.

Trent looked at Sally and then at Kim. Jenny laughed and said, "You'll get used to it, Trent. We're always answering questions for each other. We're a team."

"I think it's wild that my mom knows your mom, Molly," Trent said.

"No kidding. It's a small world, isn't it?" Molly replied. Trent nodded and smiled at Molly.

"If you get here early enough tomorrow, you'll get to sample Mom's baking. She works for Kim and Sally's parents," Molly said. Trent furrowed his brow. "Mom takes care of their house."

"My mom works in the tackle shop with my grandpa," Trent said. "Um, I think I'm going to take a walk. I'll be back in a few minutes."

"Going to have a smoke?" Kim said. Trent nodded and Kim made a face.

"I can wait until later. I don't have to go right now."

"I used to smoke too. When I started hanging around with these guys, I quit," Molly said.

"Does anyone smoke?" Trent said.

The group shook their heads and told Trent that none of them smoked. "We don't allow smoking inside the boat. You can do it outside though," Brad said.

As much as he wanted to have a cigarette, Trent felt uncomfortable smoking around the other teens. "Back in Iowa, almost all of the guys I hung around with smoked. I don't know why I started."

"You probably smoked to be like your friends," Kim said.

Nodding, Trent said, "I started after Dad died. He would have been upset if he knew I smoked."

Kim slipped her arm around Trent's waist. She bumped her hip against his and giggled. "Remember what I told you."

"What did you tell him, Kim?" Kathy asked.

"I told him I didn't like the taste of cigarettes and that I wouldn't kiss him after he smoked unless he brushed his teeth."

Trent blushed. The girls giggled.

"I think that would be a good reason to quit," Brad said. "I've never smoked, but kissing has to be much better."

"Is Trent a good kisser?" Jenny said.

Kim giggled. She turned to Trent, stretched up, and kissed him. Trent stood frozen as Kim moved her mouth against his. Breaking the kiss, Kim said, "Yup, he's good at it."

Trent blushed. His face turned so red that he could feel the heat. The rest of the teens chuckled. Kim stood next to Trent with her arm around his waist.

"You have to forgive my sister, she's shy," Jack said. Everyone laughed at that.

"Trent, if you hang around with us, you'll find out that none of us are very shy. We like to have fun. Oh, and don't take the teasing seriously," Eddie said.

"This is much different from what I'm used to. Back home, I hung around with a bunch of guys. Some of them had girlfriends, but they weren't like you guys are. If someone said something about another guy's girlfriend, there would be an argument or a fight," Trent said. "It wasn't mean things. They'd go at it if someone said another guy's girl was cute."

"That crap won't fly with us. None of us gets jealous or mad about something someone says. We don't get nasty either. We're friends and friends don't get pissed off over silly things like that," Tom said.

"I used to date a possessive jerk. If another boy even looked at me, he wanted to start a fight. It sucked big time!" Molly said. "Tom doesn't get pissed off if one of the guys says I have a nice butt."

"That's because you do have a nice, butt, Molly," Eddie said.

Tom laughed and said, "Yeah, you have a nice ass and great boobs too."

"Hey, what's wrong with our butts and boobs?" Kathy said.

"Nothing, all of you have great bodies," Brad said.

Trent shook his head. Kim giggled, and pulled him against her side. The group laughed and continued to tease each other.

"We better get back to the yacht. We'll see you guys later," Frank said.

"Do you and Erin want to go fishing tomorrow?" Jenny said.

"Thanks, but we have to work tomorrow. April said that she wanted to change a few things. We learned a lot about where we keep things and how it would be better," Erin said. "We'll go another time."

Frank and Erin said goodbye to everyone and left. The rest of the group decided to go up to the house. As they walked, Kim held Trent's hand. She slowed, letting everyone walk ahead of her and Trent.

"I hope we didn't shock you too much," Kim said. She stopped walking, turned to Trent, and looked up into his eyes.

Chuckling, Trent said, "Um, no, not too much. You guys are very different from my old friends."

"Good different or bad different?"

"I guess it's good. All of you seem to say what's on your minds. I'm not used to that. My old friends used to badmouth each other behind each other's backs. It was stupid," Trent said.

"We don't say things we wouldn't say to each other's faces. I can tell anyone if something they do upsets me. We talk and work it out rather than harboring grudges or things like that. When we fish, we're together for a long time in close quarters. There's no room for petty crap," Kim said.

Kim and Trent began walking again. "It shocked me when you said you wanted to kiss me," Trent said.

"Why?" Trent shrugged his shoulders. "Didn't you want to?"

"Yes, but I guess I expected that we'd go out a few times and stuff like that first," Trent said.

Kim giggled. "I know, but why? I mean, we could go out, get something to eat, and go to a movie. We could park and make out. After a few dates, you might try to feel me up. I might let you. You spend a bunch of money trying to impress me and get me to do things with you.

"Trent, I'm not a slut, but I do know what I want and what I like. You may not know it, but girls want to do things just as much as boys do. I guess some girls make boys jump through hoops, but I think that's wrong. What's the sense in spending all that time and money only to find out that you're not compatible with a girl?

"I'm not talking about sex either. To me, sex isn't a bargaining chip. I would never lead a boy on, making him think that if he does nice things for me that I'll fool around with him. As far as I'm concerned, girls that do that are the real sluts. I know I keep telling you that we're different, but that's because we are.

"The last thing any of us wants is for you to feel uncomfortable around us. You have to feel as if you fit in and we have to feel the same about you. We get there by talking and doing things together. I think it's easy to see that we're very close friends."

"I don't know what to say. I'm having the best time I've had since my dad died. For once, I've been able to have fun without becoming sad about Dad. He was my best friend, Kim. When he died, I felt as if I'd lost everything."

Trent looked away, blinking the tears from his eyes. Kim noticed. She wrapped her arms around Trent's waist, resting her head on his shoulder. Kim rubbed his back, letting him compose himself again. Trent relaxed and hugged Kim. Neither of them said a word for several minutes.

"Dad and I used to spend hours out in the garage working on my car. Almost every day, he came home from work and we ate dinner. As long as I'd completed my homework, we'd go out and work on the car for a few hours. He taught me so many things about cars and about life.

"When he died, I felt so angry that I couldn't see straight. I turned into an asshole. Mom tried to help, but she couldn't. I started hanging around with a few guys that smoked and drank. For almost a year, I acted up and caused Mom a lot of grief. I've finally came to grips with Dad's death. I brought my grades back up and stopped getting into trouble. Then we moved down here because Mom lost her job.

"I thought it would be hard to meet people and find friends. My grandpa asked me to go to the fishing club meeting. He didn't tell me too much about it, but said he knew some people that might take me fishing. That's when I met you guys. Since then, my life has been a whirlwind. I've been out on a yacht, met you, and now I'm going fishing.

"You can see why I'm feeling overwhelmed, can't you?" Trent said.

Kim looked up and nodded. She stared into Trent's eyes, smiling back when he smiled at her. Kim moved one of her hands to the back of Trent's head. She pulled his mouth to hers, kissing him. Trent returned the tender kiss. Kim opened her mouth, swiping his lips with her tongue. He stiffened for a moment, and then Trent relaxed and opened his mouth. He let out a moan when Kim flicked her tongue around the inside of his mouth.

Trent grinned at Kim when they broke their kiss. "That's the first time I've done that. A French kiss that is."

Kim giggled as she thought about all of the firsts she hoped to show Trent.

"I like it when you kiss me," Trent said.

"Well, that's going to have to change." Kim giggled and gave Trent a peck on his chin. "You're going to have to start kissing me!"

"I don't want to make you mad."

"Sweetie, the only way you're going to make me mad is by not doing what you want to do. If we're going to be together, you have to learn to go for what you want. I can say no if you do something I don't want you to do. You can say no too. All I ask is that you stop if I do say no. I promise that I will stop if you want me to," Kim said.

"I've never met anyone like you, Kim. You're so sure of yourself," Trent said.

"Yup, that's me! You're going to find out that all of us are like that. You'll get used to it."

Trent smiled. He pulled Kim's mouth his, kissing her. "I'm already used to that," Trent said as he pulled his head back.

"Mmmm, me too!"

Kim and Trent continued to hold each other. They shared a few more kisses before heading toward the house. Kim and Trent kept their arms around one another as they walked across the yard.

Sitting on the patio with the other parents, Jodie watched her son and Kim. Laura put her hand on Jodie's arm and said, "It looks like Trent has made at least one friend."

"I didn't think my son would work that fast," Jodie said.

Laughing, Marge glanced at Kim and Trent before looking at Jodie. "Hun, if I were to bet, I'd give odds that Kim is the one that's making the moves on Trent. When that girl sets her sights on something, she can be relentless."

"I'm sure you're right, Marge. Trent has always been shy."

"He'll get over that, Jodie. These kids have a way of pulling someone out of their shell. I know that they did it for Molly," Laura said.

"Hi, Mom. You should see the fishing boat. It's great," Trent said when he and Kim reached the patio.

"That's nice. What time are you kids going out in the morning?" Jodie said.

"We get up at around six. I think we plan to leave at seven or so," Kim said.

"In that case, we should think about heading home so you can get a good night's sleep. Are you going to be able to get up that early?" Jodie asked Trent.

"I'll be up, Mom. I have to get the reels from grandpa before I head over here," Trent said.

"Where is everyone?" Kim asked.

"They went to the guesthouse," Marge said.

Kim and Trent excused themselves. They went through the main house and out the back door.

"Jack, Tom, Sally, and I stay in the guesthouse," Kim said.

"Why don't you stay in the big house?" Trent said.

"We decided that it would be fun to have our own place," Kim replied.

Kim led Trent into the guesthouse. The rest of the teens sat in the living room, talking about where they planned to go the next morning. Kim pointed at a chair and Trent sat down. She sat on his lap.

"What should I bring to wear tomorrow?" Trent said when there was a lull in the conversation.

"We usually wear sweats in the morning because it's cool. Later, when it gets warm, we wear shorts and tee shirts," Brad said. He chuckled, adding, "If we're lucky, and it's hot, the girls wear their bikinis."

"Yeah, and then the boys can't keep their hands to themselves," Jenny said.

"Who wants them to?" Sally said with a giggle.

The teens sat around talking for a half hour. Jodie came in to tell Trent it was time to leave. She left and Kim got off Trent's lap. She held his hand as she walked outside.

"I'll see you in the morning, Trent. I've had a great day today," Kim said.

"Kim, I can't begin to tell you how much fun I've had today. I can't wait until tomorrow morning so I can see you again and go fishing," Trent said.

Trent hugged Kim to his chest. He gave her a kiss, as they ran their hands over each other's backs. Jodie came out of the main house, paused, and watched her son and Kim for a moment. When she cleared her throat, Trent removed his arms from around Kim's body. She hung on, kissing him once more before letting go.

Trent and Jodie got into Trent's car. He rolled down his window, leaning his head out so he could give Kim a quick kiss. Trent pulled down his sun visor, grabbed the half pack of cigarettes that fell, and handed them to Kim.

"Will you throw these in the trash for me please?" Trent said. He crushed the pack in his fist before handing it to Kim.

Kim took the cigarettes from Trent. She smiled, gave him another kiss, and said, "You better believe it! When you get here tomorrow morning, just come in the house. We should be up. Do you drink coffee?"

"Yeah, I like it black," Trent said.

"I'll make sure we have a pot ready for you. Bye, see you in the morning," Kim said. She straightened up, stepping back from the car.

Trent nodded. He started the car, let it warm up for a moment, and drove off. Kim took the cigarettes to the trash, tossing them into the can. She went back into the guesthouse, told the others goodnight, and went to her room.

"I take it you enjoyed yourself today," Jodie said as Trent drove.

"Mom, I had a blast! Thanks for letting me go," Trent replied. "Did you have a good time too?"

"Yes, I had a wonderful day. It was so nice seeing Ms. Durham again. Everyone was very nice. Not at all what I expected."

"I know what you mean, Mom. They're very nice, aren't they?"

"Yes. I think you found one of them especially nice," Jodie said with a chuckle. When Trent blushed, she laughed.

"I like Kim a lot. She's so different from any of the other girls I knew back home."

"I'm sure she, as well as the other kids, are much different from what you're used to. I know the parents are."

"Maybe you'll get to know them better and have friends down here too, Mom."

"I'm think that would be very nice. I like them and would like to become friends with them. They told me that I'm welcome to come over anytime I want to. In fact, if you don't mind, I'm going to be there when you get back from your fishing trip. Mr. Graham invited me for a barbeque."

"Why would I mind?" Trent said as he glanced at his mom.

"I don't know. I guess I felt that you might not what your mom around when you're with your friends." Jodie chuckled. "Most kids don't want their parents hanging around."

"Mom, I don't think my new friends fall into the 'most friends' category. They're very different from my old friends."

"Is that how you feel about them—friends?" Jodie said.

"They treated me as if we'd known each other for a long time, Mom. Yeah, I think of them as friends. Mom, could we stop at Walmart so I can pick up a few things? I need shorts and sweatpants for tomorrow. I don't have shorts."

"Yes, we can stop for a few minutes, Trent." Jodie smiled to herself. In the past, her son had always said that shorts were for sissies. She knew that Trent had just met the other teens, but she felt that he was on his way to a new beginning. It was all she could to contain her joy when he gave Kim his cigarettes and told her to throw them away.

Jodie helped Trent pick out several pairs of cargo shorts, new tee shirts, and a pair of swim trunks. He selected two pairs of sweatpants, two sweatshirts, and a new windbreaker jacket. She also bought Trent a few pairs of khaki slacks and a duffel bag.

When they arrived at home, Jodie washed Trent's new clothing. Trent talked to his grandfather, telling Sid about his day. Sid told Trent that the reels were ready for him to take the next morning. An hour later, Trent went to bed.

Trent tossed and turned as he thought about his day. He stroked himself, revisiting the kisses he'd shared with Kim, but stopped to think about the things that she'd told him about dating and their new relationship. Trent wasn't completely sure of what she meant when Kim talked about dating. He didn't know if she didn't want to date, or if she felt it wasn't necessarily part of growing closer. It took a while, but Trent finally fell asleep.

"Dad, how much do you know about these people?" Jodie said as she sat with Sid in the living room.

"Not too much, Jodie. I met Mr. Graham and Mr. Lewis once. They came into the shop to establish an account for the kids. Whenever the kids come in, they're very polite. I knew Eddie, Jenny, Brad, and Kathy, but I haven't known the others very long. Is there a problem?"

"No, I don't think so. All of the women are very nice. They're frank, but nice. They seem to have a very different view of life from most people I know. By the way, I ran into Laura Durham. Do you remember her?" Sid shrugged his shoulders. "We were friends in high school. She had a baby when she was sixteen.

"Anyway, it turns out that her daughter, Molly, is going with Tom Lewis. Molly is part of the fishing team."

"It's good that you're meeting some of your old friends," Sid said.

"Yeah, it was great seeing her again. Dad, those families have a very different view about raising teenagers. None of them feels it's wrong for their kids to have sex. When the teens go away for their tournaments, they all stay together on the boat. I don't know what to do about Trent," Jodie said.

"Just what do you think you can do?"

Jodie shrugged her shoulders. "I guess I can't stop him from having sex if he wants to, can I?"

Laughing, Sid said, "You'd stand a better of standing on the tracks and stopping a fright train."

"The other moms say they'd rather know where their kids are instead of worrying. They also told me they don't like to put the kids in a position that they have to lie."

"That sounds like good advice to me, Jodie. If you remember, you weren't always honest with Mom or me when you were a teenager. Don't kid yourself, we knew what was going on," Sid said.

Jodie chuckled and nodded. She thought about her younger years, and how guilty she felt when she told her mom and dad one thing, and did something else. Some things she could never admit to.

"Dad, I'm going to let Trent do what he feels comfortable doing and see how it goes."

"I think that's a good idea. I have to open at five thirty so I'm going to bed," Sid said.

"I'll be up too, Dad. Trent has to be at the boat early tomorrow morning."

Jodie went to her room. She stopped at her son's bedroom door, listening. Smiling when she heard Trent snoring, she went to bed.

Trent woke up when his alarm went off at five the next morning. He took a quick shower, put on his new sweats, and packed his duffel bag with the things he felt he'd need. In the kitchen, Trent greeted his mom and grandfather.

"Do think you should take something so you don't get seasick?" Jodie asked as she poured her son a cup of coffee.

"I don't know, Mom. I'm going to try it without taking anything so I'll know if I get sick or not."

"That's a good idea, Trent. Listen, the reels are in that box." Sid pointed at a brown box on the floor near the door. "Tell them Andy said the new reels are on the way. I'll spool them as soon as they come in."

"Okay, Grandpa. Are the new reels for the one hundred thirty pound test line?" Trent said.

"Yes, that's them. I see you remembered what you learned at the meeting," Sid said.

Smiling, Trent nodded.

Trent sipped his coffee and watched the clock. It seemed as if the hands on the clock didn't move. Jodie noticed how anxious he was acting. At five forty five, Trent rinsed his cup and put it in the dishwasher. He told his mom and grandfather goodbye, grabbed the reels, his duffel bag, and left.

Trent parked his car and turned it off. Glancing around, he wondered if he'd arrived too early. He checked his watch, noting it was six fifteen. Trent went to the door, opening it as Kim told him to do. He stepped in, listening for any sign someone was awake. Moving slowly, Trent walked toward the kitchen. He heard the sound of the coffee maker.

Moving into the kitchen, Trent froze in his tracks. Kim stood at the counter wearing a pair of bikini panties and a snug tank top that didn't reach her waist. Hearing Trent gasp, Kim turned around. She giggled and walked over to the stunned boy.

"Good morning, Trent." Kim gave him a kiss on his cheek. "The coffee is ready. The mugs are in the cupboard over the microwave. Make yourself at home. I have to jump in the shower while there's still hot water."

Trent tried to say something, but nothing came out. Kim hugged him and kissed him on the mouth. Pressing herself against his body, she felt Trent's erection against her stomach.

"Um, good morning, Kim," Trent managed to choke out.

"I'll be right back. You can sit in here or in the living room," Kim said. She tightened her arms around Trent and then let go.

Trent stood in the kitchen watching Kim's butt as she walked away. He took a deep breath, walked to the counter, and poured himself a cup of coffee. Trent went to the table, placing his mug on it before sitting down. A moment later, Sally came into the kitchen.

"Hi, Trent, I see you have your coffee," Sally said.

"Hi," Trent replied as he looked up. "How are you..." he stopped mid sentence when he saw Sally standing there with a towel wrapped around her waist. He tried not to stare at her naked breasts, but couldn't remove his eyes from the sight before him.

"I have to get Jack his coffee or he'll be a bear. See you in a few," Sally said as she turned around and poured coffee into two mugs.

Trent couldn't gather his thoughts. As Sally left, Tom and Molly came in. Trent felt relieved that they were both dressed. Tom sat at the table while Molly got coffee for him and herself.

"Morning, Trent. Are you okay?" Tom said. Trent nodded and then Tom laughed. "I forgot that you're not used to us yet. None of us are shy around each other."

"You'll get used to it," Molly said with a smile. She put a mug in front of Tom and said down.

"That's what everyone keeps telling me. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to all of this," Trent said.

"Sure you will. It might take a day or two though. I assure you that no one is trying to shock or embarrass you, Trent. This is how we are and we don't change it, not for friends," Tom said.

While Tom talked to Trent, Jenny and Kathy came into the kitchen. They said good morning and got their coffee. Kathy started another pot.

"I think Sally shocked Trent this morning," Molly told the other two girls.

"How, did she come in here naked?" Jenny said.

"No, she had a towel around her waist," Trent said as he blushed.

Trent sat quietly listening to the girls talking about what they planned to wear that day. The rest of the group began filtering into the kitchen, each of them greeting Trent. When Kim came in, she took a chair next to Trent.

"I heard Sally surprised you this morning," Kim said as she smiled at Trent. He blushed and nodded. Kim giggled.

"I know, I know, I'll get used to it," Trent said.

"Oh I don't know about that, Trent. I don't think I'll ever get used to watching Sally, or anyone else, walking around showing off their boobs," Eddie said.

Giggling, Jenny said, "I'd be worried about you if you did, Eddie."

The teens finished their coffee. Kim took Trent's hand, pulling him to his feet. "It's time for breakfast. Let's go," Kim said.

When the teens walked into the kitchen, Laura placed a platter of hot muffins on the table. The teens filled coffee cups and poured orange juice before taking their seats. Marge and Anne stood at the stove, frying eggs and sausage.

"These are amazing," Trent said after taking a bite of a muffin.

"I know. They're so good. Molly's mom bakes for us all the time," Kim said.

Marge served the scrambled eggs and sausage. Anne placed a platter of toast on the table for the teens. As they ate, Trent began relaxing. He joined the conversation, asking questions when someone said something he didn't understand. After eating, the teen took their dishes to the sink. They rinsed them, placing them in the dishwasher.

"I have the reels in my car. My grandpa said the new reels should be in soon and he said he would spool them when they arrive," Trent said.

"That's cool. We'll grab them on the way to the boat. Thanks for bring them," Jack said.

The teens told the adults goodbye. Don and Mark came in as they were leaving. Don reminded the teens to be careful and to have a good time. They went to Trent's car to get the reels and his duffel bag. On the way to the boat, Trent asked about the vacant lot.

"There used to be a house there. The owner burnt it down for the insurance money, but they caught him. Our parents bought the property and plan to build another house on it," Tom said.

Trent glanced around at the property. He could see where the contractor had started the work.

On the boat, Jenny and the girls went into the cabin to make coffee and start the engines. Eddie and Brad pulled the rods from a locker so they could remount the reels. Trent watched as the other boys placed the reels into the reel seats and tightened them.

"What are the clamps for?" Trent said as he watched Eddie fasten a clamp to the bottom of the reel.

"They're to make sure the reels don't come off the rods. The reel seats are strong, but the clamps insure the reels stay attached," Eddie said.

Tom gave Trent one of the rods. He showed him how to thread the line through the line guides and then showed him how to tie on the leader.

"We use a special knot to attach the leader to the main line. We use twenty-five feet of two hundred pound test leader. When we fish a tournament, we mark the leader three feet from the hook. You have to cut the leader within three feet of the hook or you get a penalty," Tom said.

"Why don't you just remove the hook?" Trent said.

"We try, but when we fish for billfish it isn't always possible to remove the hook. We also have to tag the fish. We'll show you how to tag if we hook a sailfish today. We're planning to fish for dolphin and wahoo," Tom replied.

Yoshi came up to the side of the boat. "Try to catch a nice dolphin for dinner tonight. We're having a barbeque and your parents are inviting friends," Yoshi said.

"We'll see what we can do," Jack said.

"Thank you," Yoshi said as he turned to leave.

Jenny fired up the twin diesel engines. Trent jumped when the engines came to life. Jack and Brad tended to the lines, showing Trent what they were doing. Jack disconnected the electrical and water so Jenny could pull away from the seawall.

"Who's driving?" Trent asked as the boat began moving.

"I don't know. You can go up and see if you want to," Eddie said. "We'll start rigging after we get bait and head out."

Trent went up to the bridge. He stood near Jenny, watching her operate the boat. Kim came up behind Trent, hugging him.

"Did you guys finish with the rods?" Kim asked.

"I think so. Eddie said we have to rig them after we get bait," Trent said.

"I'm going down for coffee. Would you like some?" Kim said.

"Sure, I'll go with you," Trent said.

Kim and Trent went down to the cabin. He grabbed his duffel bag, held it up, and asked where he should put it.

"Come with me. We'll put it in one of the staterooms," Kim said.

Trent followed Kim down to the staterooms. She opened one of the doors and said, "You can leave it in here, Trent."

"Thanks, Kim."

"So, I guess Sally sort of shocked you this morning," Kim said with a giggle. "She can be crazy at times."

"Um, yeah, she did shock me. Sally embarrassed me too."

"I told you we're different, Trent. When you spend time on a boat, you can't worry about modesty."

"We weren't on the boat and I didn't expect to see anyone like that," Trent said. He stared at his feet. "I've never seen a girl's breasts before."

Giggling, Kim said, "Well, all girls have them. It's not a big deal."

"That's easy for you to say," Trent said and then he laughed.

Kim hugged Trent. She gave him a kiss, probing his mouth with her tongue. He kissed Kim back and held her close.

"Are things going too fast for you Trent? Because if they are, I'll back off," Kim said.

Trent shrugged his shoulders. "I don't think so. I mean I really like kissing you and being with you. I never thought I'd kiss a girl that's as cute as you are, Kim. You drive me crazy."

Giggling, Kim said, "Good, I like driving you crazy. You make me feel that way too. I get all tingly when we kiss."

Trent stared into Kim's eyes. "I feel like I'm going to burst." Trent kissed Kim for a moment. "I guess we should get back."

"Yeah, we should go back now." Kim hugged Trent and then they kissed again. She backed up a little and giggled.

Kim and Trent went back to the galley to get their coffee. Trent went to the cockpit while Kim went up to the bridge. Jenny pulled the boat alongside the bait boat so they could fill the livewell with pinfish and ballyhoo. Eddie and Jack transferred nets full of the baitfish into the livewell.

"Have a good day," the man in the bait boat said after Tom paid him for the fish.

Tom called up to Jenny, telling her they were ready to go. She took off, heading for the inlet. She guided the boat through the choppy water into the open ocean. Kim came down to get Trent and take him to the bridge.

"Want to take her for a while?" Jenny said to Trent.

"Sure, but I don't know what I'm doing," Trent replied.

"Just take the wheel and get a feel for it. Don't over steer or grip the wheel too tightly," Jenny said.

Trent moved into position. He took the wheel from Jenny and held it firmly. Jenny told him to relax.

"She's very responsive, Trent. Make a slight turn to port to see how she reacts," Jenny said.

"Um, port?"

"Left. Port is left, starboard is right. You can remember it by thinking about port wine and the fact port has four letters, just like left does. There are red lights on the port side of the boat and green lights on the starboard side," Kim said.

Trent made a gentle turn to port. When Jenny told him to, he turned to starboard.

"That's wild. This boat turns a lot tighter than I thought it would," Trent said.

Kim moved next to Trent. "If you plan on fishing with us, you have to learn how to operate the boat and everything about it," Kim said.

Trent pointed at the dash and chuckled. "That looks like a lot to learn."

Kim began pointing at the dash. She told Trent what each instrument was and how they used it. She explained the radar, the chart plotter, and the other things. Changing one of the displays, Kim showed him the gauges for the engines, generators, and other equipment in the engine room.

Jack came up to the bridge. He wrapped his arms around Sally, pulling her back against him. She giggled, turned in his arms, and gave Jack a kiss.

"We're ready to start rigging the baits if you want to learn how to do it," Jack said to Trent.

"Sure, I'll be there in a minute," Trent replied. Kim took the wheel so Trent could go down to the cockpit with Jack.

"Sorry about flashing your boyfriend this morning. I didn't know Trent was in the kitchen," Sally told Kim.

"That's okay. I think he liked it," Kim said with a giggle. "Trent is so shy it's cute."

"I'll bet he won't be shy when you get through with him," Jenny said.

"Who me?" Kim replied.

"So, I guess you like him then," Kathy said.

"What's not to like? He's cute and I think he's sweet," Kim said.

"I think he's nice," Molly offered. "Do you think he'll like fishing?"

"Only time will tell, Molly. I hope he does," Kim said.

In the cockpit, Trent watched Jack and Eddie rigging the small baitfish. Tom and Brad stood next to Trent and began talking about how they'd be fishing.

"We'll use teasers to attract the fish. When we spot a fish, we'll send a live bait back and try to get the fish to switch. When we're fishing, we have someone up on the sundeck or the tuna tower watching for the fish," Brad said.

"Why don't you troll with the live bait?" Trent asked.

"We could, but the live baits don't last very long when we do. That's why we use the teasers. The teasers are lures without hooks. When we fish for billfish, we use lures with hooks, but we also tease them up and then send out a lure with a hook," Tom said.

"I can't believe how much there is to learn," Trent said.

"That's part of the fun. We try different things and use what works for us," Brad said.

"Okay, your turn," Eddie said to Trent. "Rig one of the ballyhoo."

Trent netted one of the six-inch fish from the livewell. He used the copper wire to attach one of the large circle hooks to the baitfish. When he finished, he showed the bait to Eddie.

"Yup, that's how you do it," Eddie said. "Now all we need are fish."

"How do you know where the fish are?" Trent asked.

"We watch for birds and for junk floating on the water. The birds dive into the water to feed on baitfish. Where there's baitfish, we usually find fish we want to catch. The bait fish will gather under floating debris and we'll troll near the junk," Jack said.

"Let's get a cup of coffee or something," Tom said to Trent.

Tom and Trent went into the cabin. They walked over to the galley, filling their cups with coffee.

"How are things between you and Kim?" Tom said to Trent.

"Okay I guess. She's hard to figure out," Trent replied.

Tom laughed and nodded his head. "Kim is a very straight forward girl. Sometimes she is hard to read, but normally, you'll know exactly what she wants. Don't let her scare you, Trent."

"I'm not scared of her, but I don't want to piss her off either."

"There's one thing I can say for Kim, she will tell you what's on her mind. Don't be afraid to push her a little. If anything, she enjoys it," Tom said.

"I don't want her to smack me for being fresh," Trent said.

Laughing, Tom said, "She'll smack you if you're not fresh with her. Kim likes you a lot, Trent. I wouldn't worry about pissing her off."

"How do you know she likes me? Did she tell you?"

"No, but I can tell. Kim wouldn't be kissing you and staying so close if she didn't like you. Kim isn't a tease, Trent. She won't lead you on and then smack you down. I know, Kim and I used to be a couple," Tom said. "Let me tell you what kind of girl she is."

Tom went on, telling Trent about Kim insisting that he take Molly to the prom. He told him that they were still close, but not the way they used to be. Trent listened, finding it hard to believe that Kim would do something like Tom described.

"Why did she do that?" Trent asked when Tom finished.

"Because she knew I liked Molly and because she wanted to move on. I don't know if Kim is looking for a committed relationship or not. It's hard to tell."

"I just don't want to go too fast," Trent said. "I've never done much with a girl. Shit, I've kissed Kim more in two days than I kissed the girl I used to go with during our entire time together."

"Don't worry about going too fast. If anything, you should be worried about not going fast enough with Kim. I'll let you in on a secret. Tits and ass," Tom said.

"What's that mean?"

"Kim loves to have her boobs played with and her ass held and squeezed. It drives her nuts," Tom said.

"You're not trying to set me up, are you?"

Tom laughed and shook his head. "The next time you kiss her grab her butt and squeeze it. See what happens."

"I'll get slapped, that's what will happen."

"You're wrong, Trent. Trust me. She won't slap you. She may attack you, but she won't hit you," Tom said.

Trent shrugged his shoulders. He and Tom returned to the cockpit to sit with the other guys. Kathy leaned over the rail and yelled down to them. "Hey, we see birds ahead. Get ready to set the lines."

"Come on, it's show time," Tom said to Trent.

"Tom, you and Trent take the starboard side. Jack and I will take the port side. Brad can help Trent and Tom," Eddie said.

"We have to wait for the boat to slow to trolling speed. Look ahead, you can see the birds diving," Brad told Trent.

Trent leaned over the gunwale and looked forward. He saw the flock of seabirds diving into the ocean. The boat turned toward the bird and slowed.

Tom gave Trent a rod. He told him how to free spool the reel, letting the teaser out. Tom told Trent to lock the reel and put it in a holder when the teaser was about fifty yards behind the boat.

"This is the switch for the outrigger. You have to release this locking clip before you lower it." Brad showed Trent how the outrigger worked. "We use the outriggers to widen the spread of our teasers. When someone spots a fish, they'll yell out its position. If you hear 'starboard rigger' you'll know that the fish is following the teaser we'll put out on this outrigger."

Brad helped Trent send out another teaser and attach the line to the clip on the outrigger. Once they set the two rods, the boys stood back. Brad moved one of the pitch rods to a holder on the transom. He let the bait dangle in the livewell to keep it fresh.

"Fish on the port rigger," Kathy yelled from above the cockpit.

"Here you go Trent. Just let the bait out the same way you did the teaser. I'll clear the lines," Jack said.

"This isn't our side of the boat," Trent said as he took the rod from Jack.

"That's okay, you're our guest, and you get the first fish," Jack said.

Trent listened to Jack's coaching as he fed the bait back to the fish. Jack cranked on the teaser rod, working the fish closer to the hook.

"He ate it!" Kathy screamed from the sundeck.

"Okay, Trent, be patient now. You have to wait a few seconds before the fish will hook itself. When you feel it taking line, flip the lever, and hang on. If it's large, we'll get you into a harness," Eddie said.

Brad and Tom cleared the lines on the starboard side of the boat. The reel started screaming and Trent flipped the lever. He held on tightly as the fish made its first run.

"Keep the rod tip up and crank when you can. When you start gaining line, lower the rod tip while cranking and then pull back," Jack said.

Trent did as Jack told him. The fish came out of the water, making several jumps. "It looks like a nice dolphin, Trent. When the fish jumps, crank like mad and take up the slack. You don't want it to toss the hook," Jack said.

"Do you want a harness?" Eddie asked Trent.

"Not right now, I think I can handle it," Trent said.

Kim scurried to the cockpit to watch Trent fight his first fish. She stood on the mezzanine, bouncing as she watched. Kim called out, giving Trent encouragement.

Trent fought the fish for twenty minutes before getting it close to the stern of the boat. Tom stood ready with a long gaff, waiting for Trent to bring the fish into range. Trent continued to wind in line, pulling up on the rod. Tom leaned over the transom and snagged the fish. Brad helped Tom hoist the dolphin into the cockpit.

"Let me take that for you," Eddie said as he took the rod from Trent.

"That was amazing! I never knew a fish could fight so hard," Trent said. He leaned against the transom, catching his breath.

Brad removed the hook from the fish's mouth. Kim told her Tom to get his camera so he could take pictures of Trent's fish. She went down to the cockpit and over to Trent.

"You did great!" Kim said. "How do you feel?"

"I'm okay. I'm tired, but that's all. I can see why you guys work out now. That was harder than I thought it would be," Trent said.

"Tom's getting his camera so he can take your picture. You have to hold your fish," Kim said.

Brad hooked a scale into the mouth of the fish. Lifting it, he asked someone to read the scale.

"Forty six pounds. Nice fish," Eddie said.

"How big do they get?" Trent said.

"The state record is something like seventy seven pounds. Most of the dolphins we catch are smaller than this one. We might pick up a wahoo today. They can go over a hundred pounds," Eddie said.

Tom told Trent to hold his fish. He took a few shots and then Kim stood next to Trent. She put her arm around his waist and smiled. Brad put the fish into the hold. Jack and Eddie began resetting the lines. Brad and Trent reset the starboard side.

Kim pulled out the wash down hose. She held it for Trent so he could rinse his hands. They went into the cabin so Trent could wash with soap.

"Congratulations on your first saltwater fish," Kim said. She put her arms around Trent, hugging him.

"That was the coolest thing I've ever done. Well, fishing that is. Back in Iowa, the fish I caught weren't much bigger than the bait we used," Trent said. He put his arms around Kim and kissed her.

"I'm glad you had fun. So, do you think you're going to like fishing with us?"

"Heck yeah!"

Kim giggled. She stretched up, planting a kiss on Trent's mouth. Remembering what Tom said, he moved his hands to Kim's bottom. Trent rubbed her cheeks for a moment and then gripped them. Kim moaned into Trent's mouth. She jumped up, wrapping her legs around him. In order to keep her from falling, Trent gripped Kim's butt tighter.

Breaking the kiss, Kim slid down until her feet hit the deck. She leaned into Trent and gave him another open mouth kiss.

"Mmmm, how did you know I love to have my butt squeezed?" Kim said.

Trent was going to tell her he didn't know, but he remembered the things Kim said about honesty. "Um, Tom told me," Trent said.

"Oh he did, did he? What else did he tell you?" Kim said as she giggled.

"Well, Tom said you like your breasts touched too," Trent said.

Giggling, Kim said, "Do I?"

"I don't know."

Taking Trent's wrists, Kim placed his hands over her breasts. She pressed them into her chest, giggled, and said, "Hmmm, it seems I do like this."

Trent gently massaged Kim's breast. She smiled and then gave him a kiss. He removed his hands after a few moments and grinned. Kim looked into Trent's eyes and said, "Did you like that as much as I did?"

"More I'll bet," Trent said.

Kim giggled. She lowered the zipper of her hoodie sweatshirt, exposing her breasts to Trent. "Do mine look as good as Sally's boobs did?"

"Oh my God, they're beautiful!" Trent covered Kim's naked breasts with his hands. He sighed as he massaged her firm mounds.

Giggling, Kim pulled away. She zipped her sweatshirt and said, "We better get back."

Trent nodded and then followed Kim out to the cockpit. Holding Trent's hand, Kim walked over to Tom. She pulled his head down and kissed his cheek. "Thanks, Tom!"

Kim giggled. Trent blushed as Tom broke out laughing. "Didn't I tell you?"

"Tell him what?" Jack said.

"I told Trent that Kim liked her butt squeezed," Tom replied.

"Who doesn't know that?" Jack shot back, causing Trent to blush even more.

"Don't let these two get to you, Trent. They're just jealous that you're playing with my butt and they're not," Kim said.

Everyone in the cockpit laughed. Kim gave Trent a quick kiss and went up to the bridge. She started laughing the moment she walked over to the helm.

"What are you laughing about?" Sally said.

"Our brothers are teasing Trent. Tom told him I liked my ass and boobs touched. Trent found out it was true," Kim said.

"That poor boy is going to have a hardon all day, Kim. You're such a tease," Jenny said.

"Maybe you should take care of it for him," Molly said.

"Yeah, maybe I should," Kim said. She giggled, thinking of how Trent would react if she played with his penis.

In the cockpit, Trent and Tom stood against the gunwale watching for a fish to rise. Kathy stood above them, gazing out into the prop wash behind the boat. They trolled for another hour before deciding to look for another place to fish. Tom, Eddie, Brad, Jack, and Trent reeled in the lines. They lifted the outriggers, locking them into place.

Brad went up to the bridge. He moved behind Jenny, putting his arms around her. "Let's look for another place, Baby. We haven't raised anything in over an hour," Brad said. He moved one of his hands under Jenny's sweatshirt. "Maybe you can have someone else take over and we can find something to do."

Jenny giggled. "Hmmm, what do you have in mind?"

Sliding his hand into her pants, Brad said, "We could see if my dick will fit in here." He moved his finger against her labia.

Jenny looked back over her shoulder. "I think that's a good idea. Hey, Sally, would you take the helm please?"

Sally took the wheel. Jenny and Brad went down to the staterooms and went into the one they normally used. They pulled back the covers on the berth, stripped, and climbed in.

"Where did Brad and Jenny go?" Eddie asked Sally.

"I think they're taking a nap, or something," Sally replied. "Where should we go?"

"Why don't we head in and try to find a weed slick?" Eddie stood next to Sally, watching the chart plotter.

Sally turned toward shore. Eddie watched the sonar, looking for any sign of baitfish. "Start making lazy S turns, Sally. We should be able to find something," Eddie said.

Molly went down to the galley for fresh coffee. She took her full cup out to the cockpit, sitting on the mezzanine next to Kim and Trent. Tom saw her and sat with them.

"Hey, there's a bunch of baitfish on the sonar. Should we set up and troll?" Sally said to Eddie.

"You bet we should. Start your course and I'll tell the others," Eddie said.

Eddie went to the cockpit. He told Jack, Tom, and Trent that they were going to set up. The four boys started deploying the teasers. Trent and Jack set up the port side of the boat, making sure the teasers were set properly.

"You did great, Trent. You remembered everything we showed you," Jack said.

"Thanks, I'm trying to learn how to do this," Trent replied.

"Molly, let's go up and watch for fish," Kim said. The two girls went up to the bridge and out to the sundeck.

A few minutes later, Kim saw a shadow in the water. She called down to the boys, telling them there was a fish following the starboard teaser. Eddie grabbed one of the pitch rods. He gave it to Trent, telling him to get ready.

Trent listened to Kim calling out the location of the fish. Eddie started working the teaser, luring the fish into range. He told Trent to send the bait out toward the fish. Trent dropped the bait into the water, free spooled the reel, and let the bait move away from the stern.

Eddie cranked in the teaser. The fish hit the bait and Trent waited for a moment before setting the hook. He began reeling, taking up the slack in the line. As soon as the fish felt the resistance, it made a long run. The reel screamed against the drag. Trent held the rod tip up, waiting until he could crank on the reel and gain some of the line the fish stripped from the reel.

"That's a big sail," Jack said as the fish tail walked across the water.

"Wow, it looks huge," Trent said.

"That's too big to be a sailfish. I think you have a marlin hooked up. You better get into the chair," Eddie said.

Trent moved to the chair. He went to hand the rod to Eddie, but Eddie shook his head. "When we fish a tournament, the person that hooks the fish has to fight the fish. No one can touch the rod or help," Eddie said. "Now is as good a time as any to learn. Keep tension on the fish and back into the chair. Put the rod butt in the gimbal and then you can fasten the straps to the reel."

Doing what Eddie told him to, Trent maneuvered into the fighting chair. Eddie handed him the straps, but let Trent attach them to the reel eyes.

"Do you remember what we showed you yesterday?" Eddie said to Trent. He nodded. "Good. Use your legs and back. Lean forward while reeling and then push with your legs and pull back on the rod."

Holding the rod with his left hand, Trent cranked the reel with his right hand. He lowered the rod, cranking in the slack, and then pulled back. The fish came up again, startling Trent. Eddie stood behind the fighting chair, giving the novice instructions.

Tom grabbed his camera. He stood in the corner of the cockpit leaning against the transom. Holding the camera to his eye, Tom waited for the fish to jump again.

Trent fought the fish for thirty minutes. He felt the fatigue in his arms, but kept fighting. Jack opened the hatch covering the cockpit controls. He called up to Sally, telling her he would take over. Sally and Molly came down to join the rest of the group. Kim and Kathy watched from the sundeck, cheering Trent on.

"Where have you been? You're missing all the action," Eddie said to Jenny and Brad.

"Not all the action," Jenny said and then she giggled. "What's up?"

"Trent is hooked up with a big fish. I think it might be a blue marlin. It's too big to be a sail," Eddie said.

Jack watched the forward facing camera on the display on the cockpit console. He made sure there weren't other boats in their path. Jack shifted his concentration from the display to the action in the water behind the boat. He made turns, trying to gain line on the tireless fish.

Kim told Kathy she was going down to the cockpit. On her way through the cabin, Kim grabbed a couple bottles of water. She knew that Trent would be thirsty.

"How are you doing?" Kim said to Trent.

Trent held the rod, putting pressure on the fish. "I'm okay. This fish is fighting hard."

"I brought you some water. Are you thirsty?" Kim said. Trent nodded, but kept his eyes trained on the water.

"Here you go, Sweetie," Kim said. She gave Trent one of the bottles of cold water. He took it with his right hand, tipped it up, and drained half of the bottle.

"Thanks, that hit the spot," Trent said as he handed Kim the bottle.

"I'll keep it here. If you want another drink, just tell me." Kim stepped back to watch Trent.

"I think the fish is tiring," Eddie said. "Try to reel in more line, Trent."

Trent began reeling down, puling back, and repeating the process. The fish made a few more runs, but they weren't the reel stripping runs the fish made earlier in the fight. Jack put the boat in reverse, backing down on the fish. Water splashed over the transom, but no one cared.

"There's the leader," Tom said. He reached out and touched the leader. "It's a caught fish! Now, get it close so I can get a few pictures."

It took another twenty minutes to bring the fish along the starboard side. Brad wrapped the leader around his gloved hand, keeping the long blue marlin under control. Trent managed to get out of the fighting chair so he could look at the fish.

"That's the biggest fish we've caught on the boat," Eddie said. "It has to be over eight feet long. Let's get it into the cockpit so we can measure it."

Brad and Eddie worked the fish through the transom door and into the cockpit. They told Trent that they normally didn't take billfish out of the water, but they wanted to take a few measurements. Tom continued snapping pictures while Trent, Brad, and Eddie measured the fish. Kim noted the measurements on a pad of paper. Trent knelt next to the fish so Tom could take his picture with it. Brad placed a tag in the fish.

"Let's get this thing back into the water," Eddie said. He and Brad slid the fish back through the transom door. Brad held the fish by its long bill, forcing water through its mouth and over its gills.

Jack kept the boat steady, moving forward at about five knots. Brad moved the fish's head back and forth, waiting for it to revive. Ten minutes later, the fish broke away from Brad's grip. Everyone stood along the gunwale, watching it disappear into the depths of the blue water.

Eddie was first to give Trent a high-five and congratulate him. One by one, the other boys did the same thing. Kathy, Molly, Sally, and Jenny chose to give Trent hugs and quick kisses. When it was Kim's turn, she hugged Trent tightly while kissing him.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Kim said to Trent.

"I don't know. What am I forgetting?" Trent said.

Kim giggled and said, "You're forgetting that I like your hands on my ass."

Trent laughed and moved his hands to Kim's bottom. "Is that better?"

"Mmmm, yes, much better," Kim said. She kissed Trent again and they laughed.

"Let's calculate the weight of the fish," Eddie said.

"How do we do that?" Trent asked as he continued to hug Kim.

"I have a formula. We square the girth and then multiply it by the length. Then we divide the results by 800. So, the girth is 55 inches. Fifty-five squared is 3,025. The length is 102 inches. One hundred and two times 3,025 is 308,550. That divided by 800 is three 385 pounds.

"The fish weighed 385 pounds, give or take a few pounds," Eddie said.

"Holly shit!" Trent said.

"Yeah, and you caught it on eighty pound test line. If we'd been using the one thirty, the fight wouldn't have lasted as long," Sally said.

"Jenny, did you turn on the cockpit cameras this morning?" Kim said.

"You bet I did. We have it recorded," Jenny said.

"What cockpit cameras?" Trent said.

Kim pointed to the cameras mounted around the cockpit. "We record everything when we fish tournaments. It helps settle disputes," Kim said.

"Are you ready for another one?" Brad asked Trent.

"Not for a while, Brad. My arms feel like Jell-O," Trent said. "I need to take a break. Thanks for letting me catch that fish."

Kim hugged Trent from behind. "You did great, Trent."

"I just did what everyone told me to do. On my own, I would have never been able to land the fish. Why didn't we keep it? It might have been a record or something."

"The state record for a blue marlin is over a thousand pounds, Trent," Eddie said.

"I think we should head into shallow water so we can anchor and have lunch," Molly said.

The teens agreed that lunch was a good idea. The boys started stowing the tackle and Jenny went up to the bridge. Jack and Brad secured the outriggers and Brad used the intercom to tell Jenny they were ready to go.

Jenny headed toward shore. She slowed the boat, stopping in six feet of water. After lowering the anchor and setting it, Jenny shut down the boat. The group gathered in the galley. Eddie and Tom put out lunch meat, bread, and other sandwich fixings. They all made their own sandwiches and sat down to eat.

The conversation centered around Trent's fish. His excitement showed as he went over the entire fight. Trent asked if he did anything wrong. Eddie and Brad assured him he did fine.

Kim sat next to Trent listening to him. She felt happy that Trent was able to catch a marlin on his first trip out on the boat. Kim was also happy that he didn't show any signs of seasickness.

"What do you think, Trent, do you want to fish our club tournament next weekend?" Jenny said.

"I'd love to if you'll have me. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I'm willing," Trent replied.

Kim giggled. She put her hand on Trent's leg, rubbing him at his knee. He smiled at Kim and blushed.

Kathy and Sally cleaned up after lunch. The teens sat at the table for a few minutes and then Molly said, "We should rest and go for a swim later."

"Are you tired or horny, Molly?" Sally said.

"Both, but I know how to fix that," Molly replied. She giggled, sticking her tongue out at Sally.

"Don't do that unless you intend to use it," Sally said.

"You know you'd like that, wouldn't you, Molly?" Kathy said.

"Who me? What gives you the idea I'd do something like that?" Molly replied and then she giggled.

"I have a good memory—but its fading. Maybe you and Tom should take a nap with Eddie and me," Kathy shot back.

Trent leaned close to Kim. "They're just goofing around, aren't they?"

"You can never tell, Trent." Kim put her mouth near Trent's ear. "Want to take a nap with me?"

Blushing, Trent nodded. Kim got up, took his hand, and pulled him out of the booth. "We're going to go rest. We'll see you guys later," Kim said.

"See you in an hour or so, Kim. Have fun," Jenny said.

Kim took Trent down to the stateroom. Inside, she gave him a hug. Trent kissed Kim as he moved his hands to her butt. They held each other, kissing and running their hands over one another's bodies.

Breaking their hug, Kim moved away from Trent. She giggled as she lowered the zipper of her sweatshirt. Trent watched with wide eyes. Kim slipped off her sweatshirt, tossing it on the foot of the bed. She pulled back the covers, looked over her shoulder, and said, "Are you going to join me?"

Trent nodded. He started removing his sweatshirt, blocking his view as he pulled it over his head. By the time he got the shirt off, Kim had removed her sweatpants. She giggled when she saw the look on Trent's face.

Kim climbed onto the berth. She stretched out on her side, propping her head on her hand. Grinning, Kim waited for Trent to join her. She hadn't decided how far she and Trent would go, but Kim knew she wanted to take their budding relationship to the next level.

"Um, should I take off my pants?" Trent asked nervously.

"You can't get into bed in your clothes," Kim replied. She giggled when Trent blushed.

Turning his back to Kim, Trent removed his new gray sweatpants. Kim grinned when she saw his white briefs. He sat on the edge of the bed to remove his socks. Keeping his back to Kim, Trent stretched out near the edge of the bed.

Kim reached over and stroked Trent's naked back. He flinched, but quickly relaxed. Removing her hand, Kim said, "Don't you want me to touch you?"

"Yes, but I'm nervous, Kim. This is, um, embarrassing," Trent replied.

Kim grinned, realizing that Trent was probably excited. Not wanting to embarrass him, anymore than she thought he was, Kim snugged against Trent's back. She put her arm over his body, gently rubbing his chest.

"You don't have to be embarrassed because you're excited, Trent."

Kim slowly moved her hand lower on his body. When she reached his briefs, she traced the elastic waistband from his hip toward the front. Trent sucked in his breath as Kim's fingertips brushed against the part of his penis extending past his underwear.

"I'm embarrassed because I don't know about sex," Trent said.

Kim continued moving her hand on Trent's stomach. Each time she brushed against his penis, he flinched.

"You didn't know anything about deep-sea fishing before today, did you?"

"No."

"Did you like learning about it?" Kim said as she pressed her breasts against Trent's back.

"Yeah, it was fun."

"Well, sex is the same way. It's fun to learn about it. No one knows much about it until they do it—like fishing." Kim kissed the back of Trent's neck and then pulled against his shoulder. "Lay on your back."

Trent rolled onto his back. Kim rose up, leaning over so she could kiss him. She scooted closer, pressing her breasts against Trent's chest. He returned her kisses. Trent put an arm around Kim and rubbed her back.

Sliding her hand down his stomach, Kim covered his erection with her hand. She gently squeezed his shaft, realizing Trent's penis felt big in her hand. She broke their kiss and said, "I want to see it." Kim gave his penis a squeeze to emphasize her point.

Before Trent could respond, Kim pushed the covers down. She smiled at him and then lowered her eyes. Kim tugged at the waistband of Trent's underwear, trying to uncover his penis. He lifted his butt, allowing her to lower his briefs.

Kim gazed at Trent's erection. She smiled, knowing that Trent's penis was the largest one she'd seen. Up until then, Jack's penis was the longest and thickest one she'd played with. Kim knew that Trent was at an inch, or more, longer and just as thick as Jack was.

Wrapping her hand around Trent's penis, Kim noticed that, as with Jack and Tom, her fingers didn't touch. She stroked his length, smiling when Trent groaned.

"You have a nice cock, Trent," Kim said. She felt Trent's body jerk and let go of him.

"Um, thanks," Trent said with a shaky voice. He glanced down at Kim's pink bikini panties. "Can I see you too?"

Giggling, Kim nodded. "You'll have to take my panties off."

Trent moved so he knelt next to Kim's hip. He reached for the waistband of her panties and tugged at it. Kim lifted her butt so Trent could remove them. She smiled as she watched his eyes open wide. Kim knew it was the first time Trent saw a naked girl and was happy he was seeing her.

Kim kept her knees together as Trent slid her panties down her legs. She pulled her legs back, bending them at her knees. Planting her feet on the bed, Kim watched Trent staring at her mons. The look on his face excited her. Kim slowly parted her legs, exposing herself to Trent.

Reaching for his head, Kim pulled Trent down so she could kiss him. He stretched out on his side next to her, placing a hand on one of her breasts. "You're so beautiful, Kim," Trent said.

"I'll bet you tell that to all the naked girls you take to bed," Kim replied. She shifted her lower body to make contact with Trent's erect penis.

"You know I've never been in bed with another girl, dressed or naked."

"I hope I didn't disappoint you, Trent."

"Are you kidding? This is a dream come true for me." Trent gently kneaded Kim's breast.

"I like it too. I like you, Trent."

Trent chuckled. "I hope you don't do this with boys you don't like."

Kim giggled as she moved away. She sat up, folding her legs under her. "If you mean being naked, I've been naked in front of people I didn't know. Our family went to a clothing optional resort last year. We swim and sun naked at home all the time."

"You let your brother and parents see you naked?"

"Yeah, we go skinny dipping off the boat too. We'll probably go later today," Kim said. She giggled at the look of shock on Trent's face. "You know, being naked and sex don't have anything to do with one another."

Trent shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know if I could do that. Go naked in front of everyone that is. It would be too embarrassing."

"You don't have to swim naked if you don't want to, Trent. No one cares either way," Kim said. "As far as it being embarrassing, you get used to it. Once you realize that no one is going to make fun of you it gets easier. Are you uncomfortable now?"

"No, I guess not. I mean I was, but you're easy to talk to," Trent said.

"Did you notice that you're not as excited as you were?" Kim glanced at Trent's semi flaccid penis. She giggled when his member jerked.

"Um, yeah," Trent said.

Giggling, Kim fondled Trent's penis. She watched his face as it grew in her hand. Kim continued stroking him as she leaned over and kissed him on the mouth. She pressed her tongue against his lips, slipping it into his mouth when Trent parted his lips. He put one hand on Kim's breast and the other hand behind her head. They kissed tenderly, darting their tongues together. Kim felt Trent's hips moving up and down. She removed her hand, slipping it between his legs. Kim gently fondled his testicles, feeling the size of the orbs in his sac.

Kim removed her mouth from Trent's mouth. She gazed into his eyes, smiling as he moved his hand from one of her breasts to the other. Kim kissed his chest, flicking her tongue against his nipple. Trent jerked at the strange new sensation. She moved her kisses down his body. Trent let out a moan as she neared his erection.

Looking up at him, Kim watched Trent's face as she licked his glans. Trent's eyes and mouth opened wide. She smiled, moved her free hand to his shaft, and lifted his throbbing penis. Kim kissed his member, while still watching the look on Trent's face. It was all she could do to keep from giggling.

Trent told Kim he didn't have any experience with girls. The look on his face confirmed he told her the truth. Knowing that she was giving Trent his first exposure to sex excited Kim. She ran her tongue around the head of his penis and then cocked her head. Kim rubbed Trent's hot penis against her cheek for a moment. Trent's eyelids drooped, hooding his eyes. His body squirmed and he started moving his hips.

Kim kept her eyes locked with Trent's as she took the head of his penis between her lips. Trent gasped, realizing that one of his fantasies was about to come true. Kim lowered her head, taking half of his penis into her mouth. Trent gripped her breast, but not too hard. Slowly, Kim began bobbing her head.

Trent's penis flinched and throbbed in Kim's mouth. She knew from experience that he wouldn't last long. Kim thought about stopping to prolong Trent's first blowjob, but she decided that she could take her time some other time. She applied suction and moved her head up and down. Kim fondled Trent's testicles and stroked his shaft.

"Oh God, Kim, I'm going to come," Trent growled.

Kim moaned around his penis and took him deeper. She felt his glans against the back of her mouth, but knew that because of the angle, she would gag if she took more. A moment later, Trent let out a throaty grown. His semen shot into Kim's mouth and she pulled back until only about an inch of his penis remained in her mouth. She felt his penis throbbing and his semen splattering against the inside of her mouth. Kim swallowed, not losing a drop.

Trent's penis stopped sending semen into Kim's mouth. She ran her tongue around his glans and bobbed her head to clean his member. Kim stopped moving. She held his penis between her lips as she gazed up at Trent's face. Kim loved the look of contentment he showed. Removing his penis from her mouth, Kim kissed and licked his shaft. She made sure she cleaned every trace of semen from his penis.

Kim sat up and then she stretched out next to Trent. She smiled, listening to him try to regain his composure. Turning to face him, Kim kissed Trent's chin. When she moved her mouth toward his, Trent turned his head. He kissed Kim's cheek and held her close.

"Don't you want to go brush your teeth or rinse your mouth?" Trent said.

Kim stiffened. She jerked away from Trent, sat up, and looked down at him. After a few seconds, after what he said sank in, Kim jumped from the bed. She grabbed her clothes and left the room.

Chapter 51

Trent sat up. Burying his face in his hands, he wondered what happened. One moment Kim was snuggling against him and the next thing he knew, she ran from the stateroom. He reached for his underwear and started putting them on.

Kim knocked on the door before walking into the stateroom Tom and Molly shared. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to get a pair of shorts and a top," Kim said.

Molly sat up, holding the sheet against her naked chest. "What's wrong, Kim? You look pissed off," Molly said.

"I hate boys!" Kim replied as she pulled a pair of shorts from one of the drawers.

"What happened? Did Trent do something to you?" Tom said as he got out of bed.

"Just forget it."

"I'm not going to forget it, Kim. Tell us what happened," Tom said. He pulled Kim to the bed, sitting her down.

"Trent and I fooled around. He told me to brush my teeth before he'd kiss me after I—you know," Kim said. She blinked her eyes, sending tears down her cheek.

Tom put his arm around Kim's shoulders. Molly sat on the other side of Kim, placing her hand on Kim's leg. Kim sat with her head down and softly sobbed.

"I'm going to go talk to Trent," Tom said.

"No, please don't, Tom. I don't want you to hurt him," Kim said.

Molly got up. She slipped on her sweatpants and sweatshirt. "I'll go talk to him. Tom, take care of Kim."

Molly left and went to the stateroom to talk to Trent. She opened the door, walked in, and stood in front of him.

"What did you do to Kim? She's upset," Molly said.

"I don't know what I did, Molly. One minute we were having fun and the next thing I knew she's pissed off at me," Trent said.

"Did you tell her that you wouldn't kiss her until she brushed her teeth after she blew you?"

Trent jerked his head up. His face turned red as he blushed. "No!"

"That's what Kim said you said."

"I didn't tell her I wouldn't kiss her. I ASKED Kim if she wanted to brush her teeth, that's all," Trent said.

"Does that mean you'd have kissed her?" Molly said.

"Of course I would have kissed her." Trent took a deep breath. "I thought that Kim might think I was gay or something so I asked her if she wanted to rinse her mouth first."

"Why would you think that?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Trent said, "It was something I'd heard before. One of the girls I used to know said that if a guy kissed a girl after she blew him, he was gay."

"I think Kim misunderstood you, Trent. If you wouldn't kiss her, I can see why. My old boyfriend wouldn't kiss me if I did that to him. It made me feel like a slut," Molly said.

"What can I do?" Trent said.

"Let me go talk to Kim. Wait here," Molly said.

Trent nodded. Molly left, going back to her stateroom so she could talk to Kim. She sat next to Kim, putting her arm around her waist.

"I think you misunderstood what he said, Kim," Molly said. "Trent said he asked if you wanted to brush your teeth. He said he didn't have any problem kissing you. Trent didn't want you to think he was gay."

"Why would I think that?" Kim said. She looked up at Molly.

"I guess that a girl Trent used to know said that if a boy kissed a girl after giving him a blow job, he was gay," Molly said as she giggled.

"Oh fuck! I think I messed up. I wanted everything to be perfect with Trent. Maybe I should have listened to what he said and not reacted to what I thought he said."

"It's not like you to jump to conclusions, Kim. What's up with that?" Tom said.

Kim shrugged her shoulders.

"You should go talk to him, Kim. He feels terrible," Molly said.

Nodding, Kim said, "Thanks, I'm going to see if I can straighten this out."

Kim left the room. Molly removed her clothes, crawled over to Tom, and giggled. "Now were we?"

Tom chuckled as he wrapped his arms around Molly. "We were going to fuck."

Kim walked into the stateroom. She sat next to Trent and said, "I'm sorry, Trent. I should have asked you what you said instead of thinking I knew."

"I would have kissed you, Kim. I was worried that you'd think I was gay or something if we kissed. I'm sorry too," Trent said.

Kim smiled. "So, does that mean you don't mind kissing me after I suck you?"

Trent shook his head.

"Prove it!"

Trent smiled. He leaned closer, placing his lips against Kim's lips. They kissed for a moment, falling back onto the bed. Trent wrapped his arms around her, holding her to him. Kim put one of her hands between his legs. She rubbed him, feeling Trent's penis hardening. Kim started kissing her way down his chest, but Trent stopped her. He pulled Kim up and then rolled her onto her back.

"I want to do it to you. I don't know how, but I want to learn," Trent said.

Kim and Trent rearranged themselves on the bed. He began kissing and massaging Kim's breasts. She arched her back, pressing her breast against Trent's mouth. Kim took his hand, guiding it between her legs. He rubbed her, causing Kim to moan. Trent trailed his kisses down her stomach. She spread her legs in anticipation of what Trent was about to do.

Trent paused to gaze at Kim's sex. He stroked her thigh, moving closer to the junction. Kim smiled as she watched Trent staring at her. He glanced up, smiling at her.

"I don't know what to do next," Trent said in a heavy whisper.

"You can touch me," Kim said.

Trent moved his hand over Kim's vulva. She shifted her hips, wiggling against his hand. He leaned closer, inhaling her musty aroma. Trent kissed Kim's mons. He pressed his lips against her tuft of pubic hair and then moved lower. Extending his tongue, Trent licked between Kim's legs.

"Mmmm, that feels nice," Kim said. She reached down, running her fingers through Trent's long hair. Kim applied a little pressure to the back of his head, guiding him.

Trent continued to move his tongue against her heated vulva. Kim moaned, rocking her hips against his mouth. When his tongue found her clit, Kim said, "Oh yes, right there. That's my clit, Baby."

The more he laved her sex, the more comfortable Trent became. He slipped his hands under Kim's butt, pulling her crotch to his mouth. Kim rocked her hips and continued to moan. Trent's inexperience didn't prevent him from causing Kim to climax. She clamped his head between her thighs and pulled his hair. A moment later, Kim's legs relaxed.

"Wow, that was great," Kim said as she pulled Trent up. He hovered over her, looking down at Kim's contented expression. She pulled his face close and ran her tongue around his lips.

"Does that mean I did okay?" Trent said.

"Oh yeah!" Kim kissed him. They opened their mouths, darting their tongues together.

Kim began stroking Trent's penis. He groaned into her mouth and then pulled his head back. "I'm going to come if you keep doing that," Trent warned Kim.

"I know."

Kim gave Trent a kiss and moved down his body. Resting her head on his stomach, she covered his glans with her mouth. Trent's hips came off the bed, pushing more of his member into Kim's mouth. She rubbed his penis, moving her hand to his testicles. Kim moaned around his shaft, sending vibrations through his lower body.

Trent's legs jerked as he hunched his hips up and down. Kim sucked firmly and ran her tongue around the head of his penis. She felt Trent's body stiffen and his semen splatter against the inside of her mouth. Kim wrapped her hand around his shaft again. She stroked his penis, milking his semen into her mouth.

"Oh, Kim, that was so good," Trent said. He reached down, stroking the back of Kim's head.

Kim moaned around his softening penis and nodded. She slowly pulled her mouth off him, keeping his semen in her mouth. Kim turned around, kneeling on the bed. She opened her mouth to show Trent the pool of thick come. Kim closed her mouth and swallowed.

Trent sat up. He wrapped his arms around Kim, pulled her closer, and kissed her. He pressed his tongue against Kim's closed lips, prying them open. Kim moaned as Trent's tongue slipped into her mouth. He moved his tongue around inside Kim's mouth, stroking her tongue and teeth. Kim returned the kiss with the same heated passion. She held the back of Trent's head, keeping their mouths locked together.

Kim and Trent continued to hug each other after breaking their kiss. He rubbed her back and she ran her fingers through his hair. They caught their breath and then Kim giggled.

"Your come is tasty." Kim pulled back and looked into Trent's eyes. "I'm sorry for the way I behaved. You said one thing and I heard something else. Am I forgiven?"

"It was just a misunderstanding, Kim. Don't worry about it. I should have just kissed you without asking," Trent said.

"We'll figure it out. I guess we'll have to keep practicing, won't we?" Kim replied and then she kissed Trent. "Are you ready for something else new?"

Trent grinned, thinking that Kim meant she wanted to screw him. "Sure!" Trent rolled Kim onto her back and began kissing him.

Giggling, Kim said, "Um, I was talking about going swimming."

"Oh," Trent replied. His voice showed his disappointment.

Kim wiggled from under Trent. She stood up and grabbed his arm. Pulling him from the berth, Kim said, "Come on."

"Aren't you going to put on your suit?" Trent said.

"No, I'm going skinny dipping. You can wear your suit if you want to," Kim said.

Shrugging his shoulders, Trent said, "Oh well, I guess this is a day of firsts for me."

Hugging Trent, Kim gave him a kiss. She ran her hand down his back to his bottom, pulling him closer. "There are a lot more firsts to come, Sweetie."

Kim led Trent out of the stateroom. She rapped on Tom and Molly's door, telling them that she and Trent were going swimming. Kim held Trent's hand as they went up the steps to the salon. They walked aft and went out to the cockpit. Kim showed Trent where to find the deck chairs.

Tom and Molly came out to the cockpit. Both of them were naked. Trent glanced at Molly, blushing when she looked at him and then smiled.

"We told everyone that we were going swimming. They should be up in a few minutes," Molly said. She put her arm around Kim, smiling at her. "Did you two get things straightened out?"

"Yeah, it was my fault," Kim admitted.

"It wasn't anyone's fault, Kim. As I said, it was a silly misunderstanding," Trent said.

"What was?" Jenny said as she and Brad came out of the cabin with Kathy and Eddie.

A moment later, Sally and Jack walked out. Trent couldn't get over how at ease everyone seemed with being naked. Kim stood next to Trent, hugging his arm.

"I didn't listen to something Trent said and got pissed off. Everything is fine now," Kim said.

"It wasn't entirely Kim's fault. I shouldn't have said what I said," Trent told the group.

"Is someone going to tell us what the hell you're talking about?" Sally said.

"I gave Trent a blow job. When we finished, he asked if I wanted to brush my teeth so I wouldn't think he was gay or something. I took it as he wouldn't kiss me unless I brushed my teeth first. As I said, it was a misunderstanding. We're cool," Kim said.

"Jeez, don't you guys have any secrets?" Trent said as he blushed.

"No we don't, Trent. All of us are more like a family than just good friends. We share everything. We've learned that we shouldn't do anything we're ashamed of doing or saying. So, if you're going to be part of our team, you have to become part of the family too.

"Kim, you know better than to jump to conclusions. You know that the only way to resolve problems is to address them head on. That goes for all of us. We spend too much time together in close quarters to let things get out of hand," Jack said. He smiled and winked at his sister.

"I know, Jack. I also know I was wrong and I won't let it happen again," Kim said.

Trent didn't know what to think about what Jack said. More than anything, he wanted to become a part of the group. Although he'd only met the teens two days ago, he felt closer to them than he ever did with the kids he hung around with in Iowa.

"I do want to be a part of the group and if you want me, part of the team. My dad always told me that things were seldom one person's fault. I feel I was just as wrong as Kim was," Trent said.

"It doesn't matter. What's done is done. Now, why don't you two kiss and make up?" Kathy said with a giggle.

"We did," Trent said.

"Yeah, but I think we need to do it again," Kim said. She giggled and gave Trent a kiss.

"Let's go for a swim," Brad said. "I want to get in more fishing before the end of the day."

Tom opened the transom door. The group filed out, standing on the swim platform and then jumping into the warm water. Kim held Trent's hand as they went feet first into the water. The teens swam toward shore so they could stand up. They splashed each other and goofed around.

"This is the first time I've swum in saltwater," Trent said. "I like it."

Molly shocked Trent when she gave him a hug. "I'll bet you like swimming with a bunch of naked girls too!"

Blushing, Trent nodded. Sally came over and wrapped her arms around Trent from behind. "Hey, don't hog the new kid," Sally said.

Kathy, Jenny and Kim gathered around Trent. The five girls giggled and vied for position so they could hug him. The other boys laughed as Trent squirmed in the girls' arms.

"Do you think we should help him?" Eddie said.

"Naw, he looks like he's doing okay," Brad said.

"Is this better than the things you used to do in Iowa?" Tom said.

"You're kidding, right? I never did anything like this in Iowa or anywhere else," Trent said.

The girls moved away from Trent. Kim put her hand on his crotch, giggling when she felt his erection. She took a deep breath, submerged, and took his member into her mouth. Kim sucked Trent for a moment and came up. Trent stood in shock as Kim kissed him on the mouth.

"Yum!" Kim said with a giggle.

Trent looked at the rest of the group. They laughed and shook their heads.

The group swam for a little longer and then moved to the stern of the boat. They climbed out of the water, standing in the cockpit. Brad pulled the freshwater wash-down hose out and began spraying the saltwater off everyone's body. Jack took the hose and rinsed Brad.

"You should put on sunscreen so you don't burn," Kathy told Trent.

"That's probably a good idea. Do you have any?" Trent replied.

Kathy nodded. She went to the mezzanine and pulled a bottle of sunscreen from a small locker. Kathy poured some of the lotion in her hand and began applying it to Trent's back. He took the bottle so he could do his front.

The teens sat around the cockpit letting the sun dry them. Trent stood behind Kim's chair, gently massaging her shoulders.

"Can you tell me something about the club tournaments?" Trent said to no one special.

"We'll be fishing for dolphin and wahoo this time. We get to weigh in five fish and the team with the heaviest weight wins the tournament," Eddie said.

"When we fish for billfish, we tag them and let them go. Each boat has an observer that makes sure the catch, tag, and release is legal," Jenny said.

"Back in Iowa there was a sportsman club in our town. Every year they held a deer hunt. At the end of the hunt, the club donated all the meat to a homeless shelter. The paper ran a spread every year," Trent said.

"That's a great idea. We should see about doing that with our club," Kathy said.

"I agree. I think most of the teams would donate their fish once in a while," Jenny said. "I'll bring it up at a board meeting."

"Are wahoo and dolphin good to eat?" Trent asked.

"They're delicious! Yoshi is going to fix the fish we catch today for dinner tonight. We're having a barbeque," Sally said.

"I'd like to have a few prints of the pictures to send to Iowa if I can. The guys I hung around with won't believe it," Trent said.

"I think we should get going and try to catch a few more," Brad said.

Everyone agreed with Brad. They put the chairs away and went below to dress. Kim and Trent went to the stateroom together after Kim grabbed a bikini from Tom and Molly's room.

"I'm going to have to move my stuff into this room," Kim said as she slipped on the bottoms of her micro bikini. She gave Trent a hug and a kiss. "You should keep a few things on the boat too."

"Does that mean you guys are going to let me fish with you?" Trent said.

"You can if you want to, Trent. I'd like it if you did. I'd like it a lot," Kim said.

"That's great!" Trent said. He hugged Kim and chuckled.

Trent and Kim finished putting on their suits. They went up to the salon and took sodas from the refrigerator. The rest of the group came up and they got underway. Eddie and Jack took the helm. Kim and Trent helped Brad and Jenny get the rods down from the rocket launchers. They placed them in the rod holders on the gunwale.

Jack motored out into deep water. Eddie stood watch, looking for birds or floating debris. Brad decided to go up to the tuna tower for a better vantage point. He asked if anyone wanted to join him.

"Can I go up with you?" Trent said.

"Sure, I'll show you the controls we have up there," Brad replied.

Brad and Trent scaled the ladder to the tuna tower. Brad took out a pair of binoculars and handed them to Trent. Before Trent began scanning the water, Brad explained the controls and electronics.

"This boat must be worth a fortune," Trent said.

"I don't know what it cost to build her, but I know it wasn't cheap. Mr. Graham and Mr. Lewis sure shocked the hell out of us when they told us it belonged to the team," Brad said.

"What are my chances of becoming a member of the team, Brad? I like fishing and being with you guys."

"As far as I'm concerned, you're already a member. No one has said anything to the contrary. Do you think your mom will let you go to the tournaments with us?"

"I'm going to ask her. If she says no, I'll beg," Trent said with a chuckle.

"We'll all ask your mom. I think our parents will convince her to let you go as long as you don't fuck up. We all know that if we get into trouble, we'll lose our fishing privileges. That's what keeps us so close. We all know that one of us can mess it up for everyone," Brad said.

"This is a lot better than hanging around with a bunch of guys and smoking cigarettes. We used to meet in my garage. My friends, if you can call them that, would hang around drinking and talking about the things we wanted to do. We never did anything we talked about," Trent said.

"You said you didn't have any real friends. Never?"

"I used to have a good friend. His dad and my dad worked together. Angelo used to come over and work on the car with us. We did a lot together. After Dad died, we went our separate ways. I changed and he didn't want anything to do with me. I realize that my anger caused it, that and the way I acted.

"I don't know why I turned my back on Angelo. I guess it was because it reminded me of all the good times I had with my dad."

"You should call him and let him know, Trent. It's hard losing a friend," Brad said.

"I don't know if he'd even talk to me. I said some very nasty things to him," Trent said.

"It never hurts to try. What's the worst thing that can happen? He can tell you off and never talk to you again. I'll bet that it still bothers you and that you'd feel better if you tried. Saying you're sorry isn't that hard if you mean it," Brad said.

Trent nodded. Placing the binoculars to his eyes, he looked out over the water. He thought about what Brad said and realized his new friend was right. Trent decided to call his friend and see what happens.

Pointing, Trent said, "There's a flock of birds over there."

Brad looked out, taking the binoculars from Trent when he offered them. Looking out over the water, Brad saw the birds Trent spotted.

"Hey, we have birds at eleven o'clock. They're about four miles from us," Brad said into the intercom.

"Great, take the boat," Jack replied.

"You take the wheel, Trent. Start heading toward the birds. When we're about a mile from the flock, slow down so the others can get the rods ready." Brad move aside so Trent could take the wheel.

"It's amazing how far you can see from up here," Trent said.

"You should be up here when we're in rough seas. It's a hell of a ride," Brad said. "By the way, how are you feeling?"

"I feel great. I was worried about getting seasick, but I haven't. Good thing, huh?" Trent said and then he laughed.

"That's for sure. Getting sick out here would suck. I haven't gotten seasick yet, but I've heard that if it gets too rough anyone can get sick."

Trent headed toward the diving birds. Brad told him to slow the boat when they were close to the flock. Pulling back on the throttles, Trent slowed the boat to ten knots. Brad took over, standing with his back to the wheel.

"When we're fishing, we stand this way so we can watch behind the boat and see what's going on in the cockpit," Brad said. "You can go down and fish if you want to."

"You wouldn't mind?"

"No, you can go. Send someone else up to watch with me."

"Who should I send up?" Trent said.

"It doesn't matter. Just tell them and one of them will come up," Brad replied.

Trent went down to the cockpit. He told the group that Brad wanted someone to go up to the tuna tower. Kathy said she'd go up to watch with her brother.

Kim gave Trent one of the teaser rods. He let out the hook-less lure. Kim told him when to set the reel and put the rod in a holder. Sally and Jack worked on the port side of the boat while Kim and Trent set up the starboard side. Eddie and Jenny helped them while Molly and Tom helped Jack and Sally. A few moments later, the teasers were set.

Kathy stood next to Brad on the tuna tower. She watched the water, hoping to see a fish rise. Brad used one hand to steer the boat and put his other hand on his sister's back.

"Did you ever think we'd end up fishing like this, Kathy?" Brad said.

"No, but I'm glad we did. I can't think of anything I'd rather do."

Chuckling, Brad moved his hand to Kathy's bottom. "Isn't there anything else you like as much?'

Kathy pushed back against Brad's hand. She looked up into his eyes and smiled. "You know I love sex more than fishing. Well, maybe as much as fishing. We haven't done anything together in a while. I was beginning to think you don't like me anymore," Kathy said.

Brad gave her butt a squeeze. "Oh I still love you, Sis. I thought you wanted to stick with Eddie. I didn't want to upset you."

"How many times are we going to go through this? Didn't we all decide that we could fool around with anyone we wanted to? I know that Eddie and Jenny still get together once in a while," Kathy said.

"I know, she tells me when they do. I miss the things we did together."

Giggling, Kathy put her hand on Brad's crotch. She gave his penis a firm squeeze and said, "I miss it too, Brad."

Brad rubbed Kathy's bottom while she fondled him. She saw a shadow in the water, removed her hand and grabbed the microphone to the intercom. "There's a fish following the starboard teaser," Kathy said into the microphone.

Kathy and Brad watched Eddie grab one of the baited rods and place the bait into the water. He listened to Kathy as she told him what to do. When the fish took the bait, Eddie set the hook. Tom and Molly started clearing the teasers while Eddie fought the fish.

"Hey, Trent, take this rod. I think we have a dolphin hooked," Eddie said.

Trent took the rod from Eddie. He began fighting the fish, listening to Eddie's instructions. Fifteen minutes later, Jack gaffed the fish. Trent watched as Jack removed the hook from the fish. He placed the rod in a holder and stooped down to watch Jack.

"This is a nice fish," Jack said as he put it into the hold. "Good job fighting it."

"Can we take a picture before we put the fish away?" Trent asked.

"Hey, Tom, get my digital camera and take a picture of Trent and his fish," Jack said.

Jack pulled the two fish from the hold, handing them to Trent. Tom went to get the camera. Kim stood near Trent, asking him if she could be in the picture too.

"That would be great, Kim. The guys wouldn't believe I went fishing with a girl," Trent said with a chuckle.

Kim giggled and called the rest of the girls over to join in the picture. Kathy came down from the tuna tower to join her friends. She asked Brad if she should send someone else up, but he said he could handle it. Tom set up the shot with the girls standing on both sides of Trent. As he took the shots, the girls posed.

"How one like this?" Kim said. She removed her top and pressed herself against Trent to hide her breasts.

Laughing, the rest of the girls removed their tops too. They all moved close to Trent, making sure that they concealed their breasts from the camera. Tom took several shots. Kim moved away, standing topless next to Trent. Sally giggled and did the same thing. Molly, Kathy, and Jenny also moved, exposing their breasts to the camera. Laughing, Tom took a few more pictures.

"The guys would shit if I showed them one of those shots," Trent said as he put the two dolphin fish into the hold.

"Send it to them," Kim said.

"You wouldn't mind?" Trent said.

Giggling, Kim shook her head.

"You can send one with me topless too if you want to," Molly said.

The rest of the girls told Trent they didn't mind if he sent the picture either. Trent shook his head and said, "Are you guys sure?"

Kim gave Trent a hug, pressing her bare chest against him. "You don't have to if you think we're too ugly," Kim said with a giggle.

"Are you kidding? You're beautiful, all of you are," Trent said.

"Hey, are we going to fish or what?" Eddie said.

"I'm ready to fish again," Trent said. He began setting one of the teasers, asking Eddie if he was doing it right.

"You're doing fine, Trent. Just make sure you keep your thumb on the reel so it doesn't over-run. If the reel gets going too fast, it will backlash," Eddie said.

The girls decided to remain topless while they stood in the cockpit watching the boys reset the lines. When the next fish came into view, Molly grabbed one of the pitch rods and let the bait out. Jenny ran the teaser, helping Molly draw the fish to the bait.

"It looks like the girls are taking this one," Jack said. He and the rest of the boys stepped out of the way so the girls could clear the teasers.

"It's amazing that everyone seems to know who is going to do what," Trent said.

"That's what happens when you work as a team without egos getting in the way. All of us are willing to do whatever it takes to win. There aren't any star players on our team," Eddie said.

Trent nodded. "Back in Iowa, I became a real jerk after Dad died. When the guys came over, I tried to boss them around. I guess they put up with me because it gave them a place to hang out."

"That won't cut it with us," Tom said.

"Yeah, I can see that. I'm glad you guys invited me to go fishing with you. If I learn how to do it, do you think I can fish in the tournaments?"

"Yes, Trent, you're welcome to fish with the team and become a part of it as long as you don't get cocky. Like Eddie said, we're a team. Everyone is willing to do anything that we need to do. We fish together and we work together. Taking care of this boat is a lot work. We wash it down and clean it every time we take her out," Jack said.

"I don't mind working with you guys. I'd like to learn about the engine room so I can help there too. I'm a good mechanic," Trent said.

The girls started cheering. The boys watched as Jenny gaffed the wahoo that Molly caught. After removing the hook and stowing the fish, the girls reset the lines.

Sally caught the next fish. She fought and landed a nice dolphin. Jack gave her a hug, telling Sally how well she did.

"We should wrap it up for the day," Kathy said. "We're supposed to have a barbeque this evening and Yoshi will need the fish."

The teens went to work stowing the tackle. Eddie went to the bridge and headed the boat home. Kim put her arm around Trent, leaning against the gunwale with him. Tom and Molly came over to join the couple.

"Well, how do you like deep-sea fishing?" Tom said.

"It's a blast! I love it," Trent said.

"Yeah, so do I." Tom chuckled as he moved one of his hands over Molly's breast. "The scenery isn't bad either, is it?"

Trent blushed. Kim giggled and looked up at him. "Well, aren't you going to answer Tom?"

"Um, yeah, the scenery is great," Trent said as he continued to blush.

"Good answer," Molly said and then she giggled.

The girls put their tops on as Eddie entered the inlet. They went into the cabin to begin cleaning. Eddie pulled up to the seawall, stopping the boat. Tom showed Trent how to secure the boat to the pilings.

"Did you catch a fish for me?" Yoshi asked as he walked up to the Lady Guinevere.

"We caught a few. We'll clean them for you," Brad said.

"No, I'll clean the fish," Yoshi said. "Thanks for catching them. We're going to have a great meal tonight."

Jack and Brad helped Yoshi carry the fish to the cleaning table. Trent came over and asked if he could watch. Jack nodded. Trent watched Yoshi filet the large fish.

"That's so cool," Trent said. "Can you guys do that too?"

Brad chuckled and said, "I can filet them, but not as fast as Yoshi can. He makes it look easy."

Yoshi laughed. "It is easy if you do it enough. Before coming to America, I worked in a fish market. I have cleaned fish since I was a boy much younger than you are."

Brad, Jack, and Trent watched Yoshi for a few minutes before heading back to the boat. Eddie gave Trent a brush and took him out on the bow so he could teach him how to clean the boat. Trent listened and did as Eddie told him. They worked their way aft, scrubbing and rinsing the saltwater from the boat.

"That doesn't take long," Trent said after the boys finished cleaning.

"No, not with everyone working together," Brad said.

The girls came out of the cabin. They told the boys they'd finished inside and that they were ready to go. The teens gathered their things and headed for the house.

Marge, Anne, Don, and Marc sat at one of the tables on the patio. When the teens walked up, Don asked about their fishing trip. The group began telling the adults about their success.

"We're planning to have dinner at about six. What are you kids going to do this afternoon?" Marge said.

"I want to go for a swim and relax in the sun for a little while," Sally said.

"Honey, Fran called earlier and she wants you to call her back," Anne said.

Nodding, Sally went into the house. She found Fran's number and called her. They talked for fifteen minutes before hanging up.

"I have good news," Sally said when she returned to the patio. "Fran and Randy want to come down and show us the pilot for the television show."

"That's great. When are they coming down?" Jack said.

"They'll be here on Monday," Sally replied. "I asked her to send the CD, but she said that she and Randy wanted to be here when we watched it."

"Will they be staying with us?" Don asked.

"I don't know, Uncle Don, I didn't ask her. Would it be okay?"

"Sure, if they need me to, I can have them flown down too," Don told his niece.

"Thanks, I'll call Fran back and tell her." Sally ran back into the house. "They said thank you and that they'll stay with us," Sally announced when she came back.

"Who is Sally talking about?" Trent asked Kim.

"Fran and Randy. They taped one of our tournaments for ESPN. We might be on television," Kim said.

"That's so cool!"

"Yeah, but if ESPN doesn't want to run it, we might start our own production company. We have a lot of great ideas, well, Sally does."

"The ideas are all of ours," Sally said. "I'm going swimming."

The teens headed down to the pool. Kim held Trent's hand, leading him into the cabana. She giggled at the startled look on his face when everyone began stripping. Kim removed her top, shorts, and the bottom of her bikini.

"We have to shower before we swim," Kim said. "Take your clothes off."

Trent noticed that everyone was already naked. He quickly shed his shirt and shorts, blushing as he removed his briefs. Kim pulled him into one of the large shower rooms, following the rest of the team.

"Here, wash my back," Kim said as she handed Trent a bar of soap.

Trent began rubbing the soap against Kim's body. He glanced around, noticing that everyone was washing someone else. When Kathy began washing his back, Trent jumped. Kim felt his body jerk and turned around. She grinned when she saw Kathy standing behind Trent.

Taking his wrists in her hands, Kim pulled Trent's hands to her shoulders. "Do my front too."

Trent slowly moved the bar of soap over Kim's shoulders and upper chest. She told him to make sure he washed her breasts and he did. Kim took the soap from Trent and washed his chest. As she soaped his genitals, Trent gasped.

The teens finished in the shower. Trent felt relieved that he wasn't the only boy with an erection. The group went out to the open area of the cabana and then outside. Trent hesitated, but Molly pushed him out the door. Laughing, the teens jumped into the pool.

Trent looked toward the house. He saw the adults sitting on the patio, but realized that they weren't looking at the pool. Kim jumped on his back, wrapping her legs around his waist.

"This is fun, isn't it?" Kim said. She kissed Trent's ear. "I love swimming!"

Kim slid off Trent's back. She moved in front of him, stretched up, and gave him a kiss. Kim splashed him and started swimming away. Trent went after her.

The group splashed and began dunking each other. Trent quickly noticed that no one paid any attention to who dunked or splashed. Soon, he joined in.

"That was great," Kim said as she sat on one of the lounges next to Trent. "Do you want a soda or something?"

"Um, yeah, that would be great," Trent replied.

"I'm going for sodas. Anyone want one?" Kim said.

Everyone decided that a soda would be great. Molly and Brad got up, following Kim to the house so they could help her carry the sodas back to the pool. Trent watched as the three teen walked past the adults to the bar.

Kim handed out the cans of soda she carried back with her. Molly and Brad did the same thing and then sat down. While drinking their sodas, the teens talked about the fishing trip. Trent listened to them discuss what they felt they did right and what they needed to work on.

"We need to get faster when we reset the lines," Eddie said. "The longer the teasers are out of the water the less chance we have for catching fish."

"We'll practice that this week," Jack said. "We can go out and just set, clear, and reset the teasers until we can do it faster."

"I think we should go back over an area after we catch a fish. We always seem to just keep going," Molly said.

"That's a good idea, Molly. We should mark the places we catch the fish on the chart plotter so we can go back," Tom said.

"After we work an area until we're not catching fish, we can move on," Kathy said.

The teens continued talking about how to improve their fishing skills. Taking a short break, they all jumped into the pool to cool off. They swam in the refreshing water for a few minutes and then got out. Jack suggested they get dressed and ready for the barbeque.

Trent and Kim came out of the cabana dressed in shorts and tee shirts. They stood near the pool waiting for the rest of the group to finish dressing. Kim pulled Trent's arm over her shoulder and put her arm around his waist.

"Kim, am I your boyfriend now?" Trent said.

"You're my friend and you're a boy," Kim said. She giggled as she tightened her arm around him.

"That's not what I mean."

"I know. I'm teasing you, Trent. As far as us being boyfriend and girlfriend, I think we should just see how things go. I do like you. I like you a lot. After Tom and I decided to move on, I felt that I wanted to take some time before I got into another relationship." Kim turned, facing Trent. She stretched up and gave him a kiss.

"I'm not seeing anyone else so for now, we can be a couple. That is if that's what you want. If you find another girl that you want to mess around with, I'll understand. If I decide to fool around with another boy, I don't want you to get pissed off at me."

"Kim, I like you a lot too. I want nothing more than to be your boyfriend." Trent chuckled as he moved his hands to Kim's butt. "I don't know anyone except you guys so I doubt I'll find anyone to fool around with any time soon. I promise I'll try not to get jealous if you want to go out with someone else."

Grinning, Kim kissed Trent again. They held their kiss until the rest of the group filed out of the cabana and made silly comments. Together, the team walked to the house. They stopped on the patio to talk with their parents.

"Hi, Trent, did you have a good time fishing today?" Trent's mom asked him when she walked out of the house.

"You wouldn't believe how much fun I had today, Mom. I caught a blue marlin and a couple dolphins," Trent told his mother.

"That's wonderful! Did you get seasick?"

"No, I didn't feel the least bit queasy today. The boat is amazing."

"Maybe you'll go fishing with us one of these days, Ms McBride," Kim said.

"Thank you, I'd like that very much," Jodie said.

"We're planning to practice this week. You can go with us if you'd like to." Kim giggled and bumped against Trent. "Trent needs a lot of practice, but for his first time, he did great!"

"Mom, everyone said I could fish with the team. Can I fish the tournament next weekend?" Trent said.

"We didn't say you could fish with the team. We said you could be a member of the team if you want to," Kim said.

Jodie McBride smiled as she looked at her son and Kim. "I don't see why not, Trent. If you want to fish, go for it."

"Thanks, Mom. Um, can I stay on the boat next Friday night? Tom said that they plan to stay at the hotel's marina the night before the tournament."

"Yes, you can stay. After all, you are part of the team, aren't you?"

"Yes he is! Thank you, Ms. McBride," Kim said.

Jodie chuckled as Kim pulled Trent toward the rest of the teens. Excitedly, Kim told them that Trent's mom said he could fish and be part of the team. Everyone told Trent that they were happy that he wanted to join them.

Jenny grabbed Trent's arm. She led him into the house and over to where her mom sat with the rest of the women.

"Mom, Trent needs to get uniforms for the fishing team. Do you think you can have them by next Friday?" Jenny asked Ellen.

"I don't know, Honey. I will try to get them on time. Do you know your sizes, Trent?"

"I can give them to you, Ellen," Jodie said. She took a piece of paper and a pen from her purse. Jodie wrote down Trent's sizes and handed the paper to Ellen.

"Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Mrs. Shockley," Trent said.

"You're welcome, Trent. I'll take care of this first thing Monday morning," Ellen said.

Jenny and Trent thanked their moms again. They went back outside to join the rest of the teens.

"I think I can get the uniforms ordered and in this week. Everything is up in the air right now," Ellen said.

"What's going on?" Marge said.

"The owner told me that she plans to sell the shop and retire. She said that she's going to list the business with a broker in the next week or so. None of us, me or the women that work for her, knows what our futures hold," Ellen said.

"That's terrible, Ellen. What are you going to do?" Anne said.

Ellen shrugged her shoulders. "I don't have to work, but I love working in the shop. Maybe Harry will give me a job at the boatyard so I don't go stir crazy."

"I hope that if she does sell Sheer Delights, the new owner will keep it the same. I just love that shop," Sarah said.

"What kind of shop is it?" Jodie said.

"Sheer Delights is an upscale lingerie shop in West Palm. We carry top of the line items. The biggest part of our business is lingerie, but we also sell trendy clothing," Ellen said.

"Do you know how much the owner is asking for the business?" Anne said.

"No, but it will be a lot. The shop is in one of the best locations on Worth Avenue and we carry several million dollars of inventory."

"Well, if the new owners are smart, they'll keep you and the other women. You know everything about that business, don't you?" Marge said.

"I've been in charge of selecting our lines, ordering, and running the shop for several years. Mrs. Akins is getting old and she doesn't have much to do with the day to day operations anymore. I know that she doesn't have any family that's interested in the business. Her three children are all successful doctors. All three of them live in other parts of the country," Ellen said.

Yoshi came into the house. He greeted the women and asked Anne and Marge if he could work in the kitchen. Marge laughed. Anne told him to make himself at home. The women left the breakfast nook and went outside. They sat with the men at the tables.

"Who'd like a drink?" Don said.

Don and Marc took drink orders from the group of adults. Marge asked her husband to find Laura and tell her to come outside with the rest of the group. He found Laura in the laundry room and told her what Marge said. Laura smiled, telling Don she'd be out in a few minutes.

Yoshi prepared grilled dolphin steaks, wild rice, salad, and a medley of other items. Jeri, April, Frank, and Erin helped Yoshi serve the meal. Marc insisted that they join the rest of the group and enjoy the food.

"Sally, I reviewed the contract from Ande Line. Everything is in order. I think you kids should go ahead and enter into the agreement. The only thing I added is a clause that allows us to renegotiate if you produce a television program," Joel said.

"Great, thank you, Mr. Levinson. Would you take care of it please?" Sally said. She turned to the rest of the team. "That's okay, isn't it?"

Everyone said that they agreed with Sally. When Trent didn't say anything, Kim nudged him.

"Is it okay with you?" Kim said to Trent.

"What?"

"We're voting on entering into a sponsorship agreement with Ande Line. You're a member of the team and you have to vote too."

"Um, yeah, I guess it's okay. I don't know what you're talking about though."

"Ande Line offered to be one of your sponsors. They will give the team money and other things for putting their name on the boat and endorsing their product. Ande is offering to pay the entrance fees for the tournaments the team fishes. We have a couple other sponsors that pay us too. I made sure that the monies can be pooled and used for travel and other expenses," Joel said.

"That's cool. Why wouldn't we agree to a sponsorship?" Trent asked.

"We won't enter into an agreement with anyone that tries to tell us how, where, or when to fish. They have to agree to do it on our terms," Sally said.

"I see. Okay, then I vote yes," Trent said with a chuckle. "I always thought you voted by a show of hands or a ballot."

"We don't do that. We throw out an item and everyone agrees or not. Those who disagree, give their reasons why. We talk about it and then decide," Jenny said. "Everyone has an equal say in all of the decisions about the team and the boat."

"Do your parents ever get involved?" Trent said.

"They will if we ask them to. Our parents let us make our own decisions and mistakes. We know that if we screw up we'll lose our privileges," Tom said. The parents listened, nodding when Tom made the statement.

"Let's review the tape from today. We can see what we need to do to get faster," Kathy said.

"That's a great idea, Kathy. I'll run down and get the tape from the boat," Brad said. He headed to the boat to retrieve the tape. The rest of the team went into the house.

Brad gave Jack the tape so he could load it into the VCR. The teens sat in the recreation room and began watching the video of the day's fishing. Kim held Trent's hand as they watched the action. Jack used the remote to fast-forward past the parts where there was nothing happening.

"It sounds like Trent enjoyed himself today," Laura said to Jodie.

"Yes it did. I haven't seen him this happy in a long time," Jodie replied and then she chuckled. "I have a feeling that fishing isn't the only thing that's making him happy."

Marc laughed and said, "That's true, Jodie. Spending time with naked girls will make a young man smile. I know it works for me."

Jodie smiled and nodded. "I'm sure that has something to do with it too, Marc. I know that you folks have told me how you feel about that, but I'm still having trouble wrapping my arms around the idea." Jodie chuckled. "I guess I'm too conservative and old fashion."

"Jodie, did you tell Trent not to smoke?" Don said. Jodie nodded. "Did you tell him not to drink?" Once again, she nodded her head. She also smiled, realizing where Don was going. "It didn't do any good, did it? Kids have minds of their own and they have freewill. We, as parents, can try to prevent our kids from exercising their freewill and we can try to think for them, but I don't think it will work.

"When I was young, I did what I wanted to do. It wasn't necessarily what my parents told me to do. By the time kids are the ages our kids are, they're thinking for themselves. We can provide guidance, but we can't think for them. We have decided to let them grow without having to fear reprisal or feel guilty about their choices. Trent is your son and you can raise him anyway you choose. We're not trying to tell you what's right or wrong for Trent. That being said, we're not going to change the way we choose to raise our kids because someone might not agree with us.

"All of us know that our kids are sexual active. We know that they are also unconcerned about nudity. We don't encourage them, but we don't interfere either. I can tell you that we don't have to wonder what they're doing or if they're getting into trouble."

"When Trent's father was alive, we didn't have any trouble with him either. After my husband died, Trent seemed to go off the deep end. He became angry and defiant. It didn't matter what I told him to do. He went the opposite way. That's one of the reasons I decided to move down here," Jodie said.

Marge put her hand on Jodie's arm. "That's just geography, Jodie. No matter where you go, you're there. Behavior comes from within, not from where you live. There are good people and bad people everywhere. If our children choose to hang around with troublemakers, they'll get into trouble. Fortunately, we can give them an alternative. So far, they're more interested in the boat and the fishing team than hanging around with kids that may sway them."

"We also feel it's important to be involved with the kids. That's why we go to their tournaments, and sometimes to the club meetings. It's important to support them anyway we can when the kids are doing the right things," Sarah said.

"You can afford it. I don't know that I can afford to take time off or pay for trips when the kids travel," Jodie said.

"Don't worry about it. We can afford it and you're more than welcome to join us," Harry said. He glanced at the other adults, smiling when he saw all of them nodding. "Eleven or twelve people aren't any more expensive than ten."

"I can't ask you to pay for me to travel with the team," Jodie said.

"Then don't ask. Just come with us," Jack Waters said.

"Don't forget, we have Tomiko now. When we travel with the kids, we'll be taking the yacht," Anne said.

"Are you sure? I would love to go with you and support Trent. Over the past two years, I haven't been there for him as much as I should have. I spent time with his father when he became ill and then went into a funk when he passed away," Jodie said.

"I can't imagine how hard losing your husband must have been, but at some point, you have to move on and get back to life. I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted you to spend the rest of your life moping around," Ellen said.

Jodie nodded as she remembered the promise she made to her husband a few days before his death. He told her she had to move on and not to mourn him. As hard as it was, she agreed. Since his death, she hadn't dated or had a desire to. She thought that she could be content raising Trent and working. Now, after talking to her new friends, she wondered if she could move on. She wondered if she could meet someone and be happy again. The pain of her husband's death wasn't nearly as bad as it had been in the past two years.

"Hal made me promise to move on and live. So far, I haven't kept that promise. Some days I feel that I want to, but there are days that I can't even think about it. I feel that I'm on an emotional roller-coaster," Jodie said.

"I can tell you that living in the past is unhealthy. I'm not suggesting you forget the past, but don't live in it. If you do, you may find yourself alone. I almost made that mistake, but with the help of my friends and family, I was able to get over a few bad times from my youth, and start living in the present and for the future," Sarah said.

Ellen laughed and said, "I still remember the day we threw the old Sarah overboard."

"Yup, and I've never looked back!"

The teens came out of the house, pausing to tell their parents they were going for a swim. They headed for the pool, stripping off their clothes and tossing them onto the lounge chairs. They all jumped into the water and began horsing around.

"I think I'm going to join the kids," Don said. He turned to Jodie. "We have suits in the cabana if you're not ready to go skinny-dipping."

Jodie thanked Don. The adults got up and walked toward the pool.

While the teens swam and played, no one noticed that the adults were heading toward the cabana.

"Hi, Honey, are you having a good time?" Jodie asked her son. Her voice trembled as she stood near Trent. In the cabana, she decided to go skinny-dipping with the rest of the group.

Trent spun around, facing his mom. "MOM!" Trent said, causing Jodie to chuckle.

Trent didn't notice his mother was as naked as he was for a moment. When he did, he gasped in shock. Jodie laughed and shook her head.

"I guess you're surprised, aren't you?" Jodie said. Trent tried not to look at his mom as he nodded. "So am I, Trent, so am I. Mrs. Durham and the other women talked me into this. I hope you're not mad at me."

"Um, I was thinking the same thing, Mom. I hope you're not mad at me," Trent replied.

"No, I'm not. The other parents told me that the kids swam naked. They told me the adults did too. I'm fine with this as long as you are," Jodie said. She blushed, but resolved to get past her embarrassment.

"Mom, I don't know what to think anymore. A few days ago, I was sure that living in Florida would suck. I didn't think I'd make any friends or have anything to do. Now, I have friends and I'm on a fishing team. Can you believe it?"

"It's hard for me to believe it too, Trent. Listen, I have been thinking about a few things and I want to ask you how you feel. You know that I love your father. Losing him was as hard for me as it was for you. Maybe harder. I always thought that Dad and I would grow old together." Jodie felt tears rolling down her cheeks. "Trent, I can't spend the rest of my life hurting and alone. I think it's time for me to get busy living instead of grieving for your father."

Trent glanced around at the pool full of naked adults and teens. He gazed into his mom's tear filled eyes and smiled. "Mom, I think it's time for both of us to start living again. I can't tell you how sorry I am for the way I acted before. I promise to be a good kid and stop making you worry."

Jodie cried. Forgetting she was naked, she wrapped her arms around her son, hugging him tightly. "Thank you for understanding, Trent."

Trent started to chuckle. Jodie pulled her head back, looking into his eyes. He released his mom, stepped back, and laughed. "I guess we're both moving on, aren't we, Mom?"

"Yes we are! And it's well past the time we do. Please always remember that I love you and your father. No matter what happens from here on out, that will never change."

"Does that mean you're going to find a boyfriend?" Trent said.

"Would it bother you if I did?"

"No, not as long as he likes skinny dipping," Trent said and they both laughed. He looked into his mom's eyes. "You are very pretty, Mom."

"Why thank you, Trent. You're very handsome," Jodie said. They laughed again.

"I'm going to go over by Kim and the others, Mom. Have fun," Trent said.

"I plan to have fun. You like Kim a lot, don't you?"

"Yes, but I'm not sure she likes me as much as I like her."

"Why do you say that?" Jodie said.

"Well, she said that she isn't looking for a boyfriend, not a steady boyfriend. She asked me not to get jealous if she went out with another guy. Mom, I don't know if I can help it."

"Trent, you and Kim just met. No one knows what the future holds. I wouldn't worry about it. From what the other parents tell me, all of their kids are friends with each other. Don't let jealousy get in the way of friendship. Who knows, maybe you'll find another girl that you want to date. You wouldn't want Kim to be jealous and stop liking you if you did, would you?"

"I don't know, Mom. I've never had a real girlfriend before. I used to think that girl I dated was my girlfriend, but I know that she wasn't. I screwed that up before it started."

"Learn from you past, don't live in it," Jodie said, repeating the advice she heard a few minutes earlier.

"I know, Mom." Trent grinned. "Have fun. I'm going to go talk to Kim."

Jodie smiled and nodded. She watched her son swim toward the group of teens and then moved toward the adults.

"Is everything okay?" Laura said as Jodie moved closer.

"Laura, I think everything is going to be great. Do me a favor, if you see me acting bitchy, let me know, will you?"

"Sure thing. Now, we need to find you a man," Laura said as she chuckled.

"Um, I think I'll take my time," Jodie said.

"I wasn't talking about finding you another husband, Sweetie. I'm talking about getting you laid," Laura said with a chuckle.

Jodie blushed and shook her head. "You talk about sex like it's going out to dinner."

"It's much better than that! Hell, if you hang around here long enough, you learn that sex is more of a sport than anything else. Don't get me wrong. I love Joel and making love with him is as close to heaven as I've ever been. I also love getting fucked!"

"My God, Laura! How can you say something like that?"

"It's easy. Don't you remember high school?"

Jodie giggled and blushed. "That was a long time ago and we were kids."

"I'm still a kid at heart, Jodie. I can't tell you how much fun it is to let my hair down and act like a teenager," Laura said.

Joel came over and put his hands around Laura. He kissed her shoulder, gazed at Jodie, and then he smiled. "What are you two talking about?"

"I was telling Jodie how much fun we have, Honey," Laura said.

"We do have fun with this group, don't we? It's so nice to get away from the grind and let loose once in a while. I used to think that working my ass off was the most important thing to me. Now I realize that you can't measure success in terms of how much you have. Not the material things anyway. Friends are far more important," Joel said.

Nodding, Jodie said, "Yes, I'm learning that quickly. I can't believe all that's happened in two days. Yesterday I didn't know any of you except Laura, and now I standing in the pool at a mansion, stark naked, and talking about things I never thought I would."

"You'll find things move very fast around here, Jodie. It seems that everyday is an adventure," Laura said.

"You'll also find that all of these people are great. They all love to have fun. Don, Mark, Marge, and Anne are four of the most generous people you'll ever meet. So are the rest of the parents. They are willing to share their wealth, but more importantly, they share their time," Joel said.

Laura laughed and said, "Not only that, the women share their husbands too!"

Jodie jerked her head toward Laura. "What?"

"As I told you, sex is a sport. At times, everyone plays," Laura said.

"I don't know if you're trying to shock me or warn me," Jodie said.

"I'm not trying to do either one. I'm just telling you the way it is. It's better to be forewarned that to be surprised. If someone starts fooling around, you should know that we all accept it. Think about it. What would think if you saw Joel fooling around with one of the other women?"

"I'd think he was cheating on you," Jodie replied.

"You see what I mean? I know he isn't cheating on me any more than I'm cheating on him if I do something. I know Joel loves me and he knows I love him. Sex doesn't change that. While it doesn't happen often, we've mixed it up occasionally," Laura said.

"That reminds me of those two boys we went out with our senior year. Do you remember them?"

Laura laughed. Joel hugged Laura to his chest and asked her about it.

"Jodie and I switched boys one night, Sweetie. We'd been drinking and decided to surprise the boys," Laura said.

"What did they do?" Joel asked.

"They went along with it that night, but the next day they told us they never wanted to see us again. They called us whores!" Jodie said.

"Not only that, they blabbed to our friends," Laura said. "You never have to worry about anything like that around here."

Marge and Ellen came over to tell Jodie, Laura, and Joel that the rest of the adults were getting out of the pool to have a drink. They followed the two women to the lounge chairs, each of them sitting on one. Don and Jack Waters went to the patio to mix drinks for the group.

Jack and Sally sat on the edge of the pool with Eddie and Kathy. They watched the other kids splashing and dunking each other.

"Do you think things will work out with Trent?" Kathy said as she watched him hugging Kim.

"I don't know, Kathy. He seems nice and willing to learn. I think my sister likes him a lot even though she may say differently. Kim doesn't usually warm up to boys as fast as she has with Trent," Jack said.

"If you ask me, Kim wants everyone to think she doesn't want a steady boyfriend when she really does. No one wants to be alone," Sally said and then she giggled. "Besides that, I think she likes the fact that Trent is virgin. She gets to train him."

"Did Fran say anything about ESPN? Do you know if they're going to run the pilot?" Kathy said.

"She said that she would talk to us when she and Randy came down here. If ESPN doesn't want to run it, we should see about doing it ourselves. It would be a way to earn money for the team," Sally said. "I've been researching how to produce a television show. It doesn't seem to be too hard if you ask me."

"What would we have to do?" Kathy said.

"For the type of show we want to do we'd just have to tape our fishing and then find a network to air it. I still think that if we mix fishing with teaching how to fish, we could do something that would appeal to one of the outdoor sports channels. Maybe Fran and Randy can help us. We could make them part of the production company," Sally said.

"I remember talking about doing that. I think it's a good idea too," Eddie said.

Jack smiled and said, "I'll bet we could get more money from our sponsors if we mention their names on the shows. We could say how much we like Shimano fishing equipment as well as the Marlin Magic lures and Ande line. They have to pay for television advertising, don't they?"

"I'm sure they do. Maybe we could pick up more sponsors too. It would be nice if the boat and team became self-sufficient and we didn't have to depend on our parents for money," Kathy said.

The other teens moved over to where Jack, Sally, Kathy, and Eddie sat on the edge of the pool. Sally told the others what they'd been talking about when the rest of them came over.

They all climbed out of the pool and went to the cabana to rinse off. Jack suggested they sit at the patio table and continue talking about the possibility of producing a television show after they dressed.

"What do you guys think about doing shows on how to fish as well as showing our fishing?" Sally said.

"I think it's a good idea. We could add an educational segment to each show and talk about how we fished, or about how we planned to fish. We could start with the basics about tackle and move on to technique," Tom said.

"What about doing a few shows where it's all girls? That might help make other girls interested in the sport," Kim said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"It would make the guys interested, that's for sure," Trent said.

"No kidding!" Brad said.

The teens changed the subject and began talking about preparing for the upcoming club tournament. They agreed to fish at least two times before the tournament. Sally reminded them that Fran and Randy would be there on Monday and that they would have to spend time with them.

At nine thirty, the parents came to the patio. Harry and Ellen told Eddie and Jenny it was time to leave. The rest of the parents said it was time to go too.

Kim took Trent's hand. She led him through the house to the back. Wrapping her arms around him, Kim gave Trent a kiss.

"Will you come over tomorrow?" Kim said.

"I will if my mom will let me. I hope she does," Trent said.

Kim giggled. "So do I. I have to clean the house, but that doesn't take long."

"I thought Molly's mom cleaned the houses."

"No, we have to clean the guesthouse. Mrs. Durham only takes care of the big house," Kim said.

The group all said goodbye. Kim asked Trent's mom if he could come over the next day. Jodie smiled and said, "We have to come back to get my car, Kim. I've had a few drinks and I don't want to drive."

"Cool! I'll see you tomorrow," Kim replied with a giggle.

Jack, Tom, Kim, and Sally went to their house. They flopped on the couches and relaxed.

"I think that Trent is going to be a good fisherman," Kim said. "He sure tries hard."

"He listens too," Jack said.

"Yeah, I should take lessons from him," Kim said. "I screwed up big time."

"Everything worked out, Kim. Just don't jump to conclusions again," Tom said.

Sally giggled. "I think you wanted everything to be perfect. When you thought that Trent wouldn't kiss you, you thought he was a jerk. If you ask me, you like him a lot."

"I do like him, Sally. I know I've only known him a few days, but I can tell."

"What happened to the girl that didn't want a committed relationship with anyone?" Tom said.

Kim shrugged her shoulders. "Who says I do?"

Tom moved next to Kim. He put his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close. "You know that there's no rule that says you can't change your mind, don't you? No one is going to think any less of you if you decide that you like Trent and want to be his girlfriend. Kim, I, we, want you to be happy."

Kim nodded. She smiled up at Tom and then she giggled. "I wish I knew what I wanted."

"You don't have to know, not right now. We're starting out fresh down here and we can do whatever we want to do. We have great parents, great friends, and we're fishing. What more could we ask for?" Jack said.

"I know, Jack," Kim said.

"There's something else we have. We have each other. No matter what happens, we'll always be family," Tom said.

"That's so true! It's easy to get wrapped up in everything that's going on, but in the end, family is what counts the most. Sometimes I forget just how fortunate we are," Sally said.

Tom tightened his grip on Kim for a moment and then removed his arm. Sally snuggled against Jack, giggling when he moved her hand to his crotch. He told Kim and Tom goodnight, took Sally's hand in his, and led her to their bedroom.

"I think I'll go to bed too. I'm tired," Kim said.

Tom agreed. They went to their rooms and to bed for the night.

"You're very quiet," Jodie said to Trent as he drove toward home.

"I'm thinking about today, Mom. It was one of the best days I've had in a very long time."

"I know, Son. It was for me too. Trent, you're not doing anything you aren't comfortable doing in order to fit in, are you?"

"Heck no, Mom! I love fishing and going on the boat. I can't believe they invited me to be part of the team."

"They all seem very nice, Son. I enjoy being with their parents," Jodie said.

Trent laughed and said, "Yeah, we're not in Iowa anymore, are we?"

"No, we're certainly not in Iowa. The parents invited me to go to your tournaments when you travel with the team. It won't bother you if I go, will it?"

"No, why would it bother me?"

"I don't know. Before we moved, it seemed that you didn't want to be around me. We'd grown apart," Jodie said.

"That was then and this is now. I was an asshole, Mom. Sorry about my language, but that's what I was. I didn't think of anyone except me."

"I wasn't much better, Trent. I lashed out at you rather than trying to understand. I think it was as much my fault as yours."

Trent nodded. He glanced at his mom and smiled. "How did you like skinny dipping?"

Jodie and Trent laughed. She looked across the car and smiled at Trent. "Honestly, I can't remember the last time I had that much fun. It's been years. I'll admit it scared me at first, but after a little while, I felt very comfortable." Jodie laughed. "I have to say that I never thought I'd do that with you though."

Trent blushed as he nodded his head. He pulled into the driveway, parking the car. Trent and Jodie went into the house and he told him mom goodnight. Trent went to his room and went to bed.

"Hi, Dad," Jodie said as she sat down in the living room.

"Hi. Did you have a good time?" Sid said as he lowered the volume on the television.

"Yes, in fact, I had a great time, Dad." Jodie glanced at Sid and smiled. "Dad, I've decided to stop mourning Hal and get on with my life. Do you think it's too soon?"

"What I think isn't important, Jodie. That's entirely up to you. Regardless of what you decide, I'll support you," Sid said.

"Dad, why didn't you start dating after Mom died?"

"Who said I didn't?"

"You never said anything to me," Jodie said.

"I know. I've been seeing a woman for a while now," Sid replied.

Jodie smiled. "How long have you been dating her? Who is it?"

"Her name is Jane, Jane Knowles."

"When am I going to meet her, Dad?"

"Jane will be here tomorrow for dinner, Jodie."

"Dad, why didn't you tell me you were dating?"

"I wanted to wait until you settled in down here. I'm not trying to hide anything, but I thought it would be better to wait. Jane is younger than I am by several years."

"How old is she?"

"Jane's forty. She used to work for me," Sid said.

"Did you know her before Mom's accident?"

"Yes."

"Can I ask how well you knew her?"

"Jodie, it's no secret that your mom and I had our troubles after you and Trent moved to Iowa. We'd grown apart and she started seeing another man. I hired Jane and we began seeing one another after work. Mom and I came to an agreement and decided that we'd divorce. Then she and her friend died in the accident. Jane and I have been together ever since."

"You never told me that mom was with someone else, Dad. God, I can't believe it!" Jodie said.

"I didn't see any reason to bring it up. What happened between your mother and me was our business. Telling you wouldn't have served any purpose. Don't get me wrong, I loved your mother and still do. We just didn't do the things necessary to keep our relationship alive. I spent too much time in the shop and too little time paying attention to her. I don't blame her for what she did. Jodie, you shouldn't let it affect you either."

"Mom's been gone for five years, Dad. How long was this going on?"

"About five years before she died. I'm surprised she never said anything to you."

"So am I, Dad. What about Jane, was she married?"

"No, Jane had never been married. She came into my shop one day and applied for a job. Your mother hired her. It gave your mom time away from the shop. She never liked working in the shop, Jodie. She did it because we started the business together, but after a few years, she hated it."

"I know Mom didn't like working in the shop, but I didn't realize that she hated it, or you."

Sid laughed. "We didn't hate each other, Jodie. We may have grown apart, but we never hated one another."

"This is turning out to be an eye opener for me. I'm learning things about my family and myself that I never knew," Jodie said with a chuckle.

"How so?"

"Well, first I learn that my parents were having affairs," Jodie began, but Sid stopped her.

"We weren't having affairs, Jodie. We had relationships with other people. There's a difference," Sid said sharply.

"Sorry, Dad. Anyway, I learned that my parents had relationships I didn't know about and then I found out I like skinny-dipping." Jodie chuckled when Sid raised his eyebrows. "I went skinny-dipping today at the Graham's house."

"Where was Trent?"

"He was in the pool with the rest of us, Dad." Jodie paused, waiting for her father's reaction. Sid began laughing. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing, Honey. I find it amusing, that's all."

"Well, I came to the decision that it's time to get on with my life, Dad." Sid smiled and nodded his head. "So, tell me about Jane."

"Not too much to tell. She lives here with me. Jane is at her sister's house visiting this week. She'll be back tomorrow morning. She works at the shop too. I'm sure you'll get along fine with her, but I worry about Trent."

"Trent will be fine, Dad. He's going to be spending a lot of time fishing from the sounds of it. Oh, and I think he has a girlfriend. He's sweet on Kim, one of the girls he fishes with."

"Isn't she the cute blonde?" Sid said, knowing full well who Kim was.

"Yup, that's her."

"Trent could have found worse kids to hang around with, Jodie."

"Don't I know it, Dad! The kids are all nice and as polite as anyone I've met. So are their parents. I have a feeling that I'm going to like spending time with them. Oh, they asked me to come along when the kids go on their tournaments. Do you think I'll be able to take some time off?"

"That won't be a problem. Jane and I have been running the shop for years. Now that you're working, we hope to get some time off too. I'm sure we'll work it out. It's going to take you a few weeks to learn, but once you do, I plan to take a vacation. In the past, I've had to close the shop for a few days," Sid said.

"I'll do whatever it takes, Dad. Thank you for taking Trent and me in. I hope that we'll be able to get a place of our own someday. I have money from the life insurance, but I planned to use it for Trent's education."

"Don't worry about a thing. I love having you and Trent here. Now, I think it's time to go to bed. I have to open the shop in the morning."

Jodie got up. She went over to her father, leaned down, and kissed his cheek. "We have to open the shop in the morning, Dad. Goodnight."

Sid grinned. He got out of his chair, put his arm around Jodie's waist, and said, "Sorry for hiding Jane, but I hope you can understand why I did it."

"Dad, I would have accepted Jane. I'm happy you aren't alone," Jodie said.

They turned off the lights and went to their rooms. Jodie chuckled as she realized that the house showed a woman's touch. In her room, she changed into a pair of pajamas. She climbed into bed, set the alarm, turned off the lamp, and began thinking about the day.

Jodie thought about the things Laura told her. She also thought about swimming in a pool full of naked people. Giggling to herself, she tried to draw a mental image of the men. She sighed, realizing that Laura was right about her need for male contact. It had been too long since she enjoyed the feeling of a man's touch. Her husband's illness put a stop to their sexual activity long before the cancer took his life.

Moving her hand to her stomach, Jodie gently rubbed herself. She felt a familiar, but somehow forgotten tingle in her loins. Taking a deep breath, she allowed her hand to move under the elastic waistband of her shorty pajama bottoms. Jodie raked her fingertips through her pubic hair and let out a soft moan. She remembered the hours her late husband rubbed her there and how much she enjoyed the feeling of his touch.

Spreading her legs, Jodie ventured deeper. She gently stroked her labia, twisting on the bed as her fingers parted the swollen flesh. Jodie used her other hand to reach under her top and knead her breast. Closing her eyes, she masturbated for the first time in over three years. Her fingers moved back and forth over her clitoris. Her other hand gripped her breast. She pinched her nipple, mixing pain with pleasure.

Jodie rolled over and humped against her hand. She buried her face in the pillow to muffle her moans. Tears flowed from her eyes as she relished the intense sensation of her orgasm. Her body jerked and quivered as one climax gave way to another. Finally, her sex became too sensitive and she removed her hand. Jodie gasped for breath as she came down from the wonderful feeling only an orgasm could provide.

A few moments later, Jodie rolled onto her side. She pulled her legs up into a fetal position and hugged her pillow. Smiling, she knew that her friend Laura was right. She needed a man.

The alarm went off at five the next morning, ripping Jodie away from an erotic dream. She reached over, smacking the snooze button and tried to recapture the dream. Tossing on the bed, she finally sat up. She stretched her arms over her head, yawned, and then got up. Jodie turned off the alarm before the snooze expired. She went to the bathroom, and took a hot shower.

"Good morning, Dad," Jodie said as she walked into the kitchen. She'd dressed in slacks and a shirt.

"Good morning, Jodie. Did you sleep well?"

"Yup, I slept like a log." Jodie poured a cup of coffee and sat at the table with her father.

"I hope we're okay after our little chat last night," Sid said.

"Dad, we're fine. I look forward to meeting Jane."

"She should be here before lunch."

Jodie and her father sipped their coffee. She got up and fried eggs and sausage for their breakfast. An hour later, they headed to the tackle shop. Jodie left a note for Trent before she left.

It was close to one when the door of the shop opened and an attractive woman walked in. Jodie asked the woman if she could help her, but paused and smiled.

"You must be, Jane," Jodie said.

"Yes," Jane replied.

Jodie extended her hand to shake Jane's hand. "I'm very pleased to meet you." Jane nodded. "Dad is in back, Jane. I hope we'll get to spend some time getting to know one another soon."

"I'd like that, Jodie. Sid told me about your husband. I'm sorry."

"Thank you. Things are much better now. My son Trent should be here soon. I'm sure he'll want to meet you too."

"Jodie, I don't want to cause any problems between you and Sid."

Chuckling, Jodie said, "I should be the one saying that. I'm thankful that you're allowing my son and me to live with you and Dad for a while."

Sid came out, pausing for a moment to watch Jodie and Jane. He saw that both of the women were smiling so he walked over. Jane turned to Sid and said, "I met Jodie."

Sid chuckled, gave Jane a hug and kiss, and said, "Good. How was your trip?"

"It was fine. My sister gets under my skin after a few days, but it was nice to see her again. How are you doing?" Jane kept her arms around Sid's waist.

"It's been fine, but it's better now that you're home. Are you going to the house or staying here?" Sid said.

"I think I'll stay here and get to work," Jane said.

"Good, I need help learning what to do around here. Dad hasn't told me very much yet," Jodie said.

Jane laughed. She released Sid, took Jodie by the arm, and led her to the back of the shop. "I need a good cup of coffee."

Jane and Jodie sat at the table talking for almost an hour. Trent came into the shop and walked into the back room. Jodie got up, put her arm around Trent, and said, "Jane, this is my son, Trent. Trent, this is Jane. She's grandpa's girlfriend."

Jane stood up and shook hands with Trent. "It's nice to meet you, Miss..."

"My last name is Knowles, but you can all me Jane, Trent. That is if your mom doesn't mind."

"That's up to you, Jane."

"I'll call you Ms Knowles for now," Trent said.

Sid came into the backroom. He said hi to Trent and glanced at Jodie. She smiled and gave her dad a quick nod.

"Did Mr. Nester deliver the new reels yet, Grandpa?" Trent said.

"Not yet, but he may stop by today. It seems that after the club meeting I'm getting a lot of calls for new reels and line," Sid said.

"What happened?" Jane said.

Sid and Trent told Jane about Sally's presentation and that the fishing club adopted new rules. She listened, smiling at how excited Trent seemed to be.

"That's great news, Babe. It looks like sponsoring the team was a good idea after all," Jane said.

Sid chuckled and nodded. "Jane didn't think sponsoring the team was a good idea at first, but I think she's changing her mind."

"Yup, I have changed my mind. You were right again, Sid," Jane said.

At dinner that night, Trent told Jane about his fishing trip and the fun he had. When he slipped and mentioned skinny-dipping, everyone laughed. Jane assured Trent she wasn't shocked. Jodie told her son that his grandfather knew about it too.

Later, the four of them sat in the living room. They talked about Jodie and Trent's move to Florida. Jane said that she looked forward getting to know them better. At ten, they went to bed. Jodie chuckled as she watched her father and Jane go into their bedroom.

Jodie followed Trent into his room. She sat on the edge of his bed, patting the mattress next to her. He sat down and asked what she wanted.

"How do you feel about your granddad's girlfriend?" Jodie said. She kept her voice low.

"I think it's cool, Mom. Jane seems nice and I like her."

"I didn't know about her until last night."

Trent shrugged his shoulders. "It doesn't matter, does it? I mean as long as Grandpa's happy, we should be happy for him."

"I agree with you." Jodie smiled and put her arm around Trent's shoulders.

Trent and Jodie sat in silence for a few moments. He turned to his mom and said, "Mom, when are you going to find someone?"

"I don't know, Trent. I haven't thought about it. Would it upset you if I started dating?"

"Heck no. I think it would be great, Mom."

Jodie nodded. "Thanks, Trent. That means a lot to me. I haven't met anyone, but now I know that you're okay with it if I do." She stood up, leaned over, and gave Trent a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight, Son."

"Night, Mom. I'll see you in the morning. Do me a favor. Wake me up when you get up. I have to learn to get up early."

"Okay, Trent. Night," Jodie said as she left the room.

Chapter 52

Jodie woke Trent on Monday morning. He groaned, but got up.

"Mom, Kim invited me over today. She said that the people from New York are going to be there to show them the video. Can I go to her house?" Trent said. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed and sat up.

"I don't see why not. I'm working today."

"Thanks, Mom."

Jodie smiled as she watched her son get up and walk toward the door. She followed him, telling Trent that breakfast would be ready in a few minutes. He took a shower, went back to his room, and dressed for the day.

"Good morning, Trent," Sid said when his grandson walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Grandpa. Good morning, Jane," Trent replied. He poured a cup of coffee and sat at the table. "I'm going over to Kim's house today if it's okay. I can stay and work if you need me to."

Sid smiled and shook his head. "You go and have fun. What time are you planning to leave?"

"I want to go after breakfast."

Jane glanced at the wall clock. "Isn't it a little early? It's only five o'clock."

"Kim said that they get up early every morning."

"I'm surprised that teenagers would want to get up so early. When I was your age, I liked to sleep in when I could," Jane said.

Laughing, Jodie said, "Trent used to sleep till noon. I think he's found something that interests him now."

"Well, you have to get up early if you want to fish," Sid said. "That's why we open the shop at six. Our customers want to get what they need and get on the water."

"We're not fishing today, Grandpa. The team is going to meet with some people to review a video. They might be on television."

"Marge and Anne told me that ESPN taped one of the team's tournaments for a pilot. If things work out, they may have their own show," Jodie said.

"That's great, Trent. I hope things work out," Jane said.

"Trent, if you have time, stop at the shop before you head over there. Andy Nester is supposed to come by with the new reels. You can take them with you," Sid said.

Trent went to the shop with his grandfather and Jane. Jodie told them she would be there shortly. At seven, Andy came in carrying a box.

"Morning, Sid. I have the reels for the Lady Guinevere fishing team," Andy said. He placed the box on a counter and shook Sid's hand.

"Thanks, Andy. Trent is going to take them to the boat as soon as I get the line on the reels. Let's go have a cup of coffee," Sid said. He picked up the box and carried it into the back of the shop.

"Andy, this is Sid's grandson, Trent. Trent, this is Mr. Nester. Mr. Nester works for Shimano," Jane said.

"I'm pleased to meet you, Mr. Nester."

"Trent is the newest member of the team, Andy. He's fishing his first tournament on Friday," Sid said as he unboxed the reels.

"That's great, Trent. How do you like off-shore fishing?"

"It's great, Mr. Nester. I'm learning a lot and having a blast," Trent replied.

"Those kids are some of the best fishermen I know. They have a knack for it. Are you going to fish the money tournaments too?" Andy said.

"I sure am. I guess we're going up to North Carolina in a couple weeks. I can't wait."

"Shimano is one of the sponsors of that tournament. I received notice that they increased the prize money. First place will pay eighty thousand dollars. One of the larger boat manufactures became a major sponsor too," Andy said. "I have the new information in my briefcase. I'll give you a copy to take to the team."

Trent thanked Andy. He walked over to the bench to see if he could help Sid with the reels. Trent watched as his grandfather clamped the first reel in the jig and attached the end of the new line.

"You have to make sure to wind the line evenly and keep it tight, Trent. The newer machines have mechanisms that help, but I like doing it by hand. This motor turns the reel and I move the line back and forth. I can tell by the feel if it's the right tension," Sid said.

Sid finished the first reel. He unboxed the second reel, handing it to Trent. Trent mounted the reel and began winding on the line. Sid helped him, showing him how to do it. A half hour later, all six of the reels contained new line. Trent and Sid boxed them so Trent could take them with him. Andy gave Trent an envelope, telling him to have the team fill out the forms.

"I'll stop at the house to pick up the forms later, Trent. Let the others know, please," Andy said.

Trent thanked Andy. He told his grandfather and Jane goodbye and took the box of reels and tournament information to his car. Jodie pulled up, parked her car, and got out. She stopped to talk to Trent for a moment before he left.

"I'll see you later, Trent. I might stop by after work," Jodie said.

"Okay, Mom. I'll see you later. I don't know if we're fishing today. If we do, I'll call to let you know."

Jodie gave her son a hug and said goodbye. She walked toward the shop as Trent got into his car.

"Hi, Jodie. I'd like you to meet Andy Nester. Andy, this is my daughter, Jodie. She's Trent's mom," Sid said.

"I'm pleased to meet you, Jodie. Trent seems to be excited about fishing," Andy said as he shook Jodie's hand.

"That's an understatement, Andy. It's about all he talks about anymore. Well, fishing and Kim," Jodie said and then she chuckled.

Jodie sat at the table with a cup of coffee. She listened to Andy as he told Sid and Jane about the new products Shimano planned to introduce. Sid asked about the new line of rods after Andy showed him a few pictures.

"This is our new line of offshore rods. We have improved the spine, reel seats, and the rollers. The Lady Guinevere team is testing them now," Andy said.

"What's the price point?"

"We've set the list between four hundred and eight hundred depending on the model."

"I didn't know that fishing rods cost that much," Jodie said.

"Yes, and even more, Jodie. Sid doesn't stock most of these models. His customers place special orders for them," Andy said. He glanced at Jodie, smiling at her reaction.

"I've seen the prices on the things in the shop. I knew fishing is expensive, but never realized it could cost as much as it does," Jodie said.

"The type of fishing the team does is expensive, Jodie. There are many different types of fishing though. You can outfit someone for in-shore fishing for what one offshore rod and reel combination costs."

"What's the difference?"

The buzzer announced that someone had come into the store. Sid and Jane excused themselves and went out to help the customer.

"Basically the size of the fish and where you fish for them. The kids troll offshore for billfish, dolphin, wahoo, and other fish like that. Most people fish in lakes for freshwater fish and in the ICW for smaller saltwater fish. There are a lot of different types of fishing," Andy said.

"I've never gone fishing. Trent said that the kids will take me out one of these days."

Andy asked Jodie if she wanted more coffee. She nodded and he got up. Jodie watched Andy walk to the coffee pot and refill their cups.

"Do you and your wife like fishing?" Jodie said.

"I love to fish, but I don't get the opportunity very often. My job keeps me very busy. I don't have a wife. I was married, but she didn't like the fact I traveled. We divorced several years ago," Andy said. "Are you married?"

Shaking her head, Jodie said, "No, I'm a widow. My husband died a couple years ago. Trent and I just moved down here."

"I'm sorry to hear about your husband."

"Thank you. It's getting better for Trent and me now."

Andy and Jodie sat looking at each other. Both of them seemed lost for words.

Sid and Jane came back in. Sid sat down so Andy could continue telling him about the new equipment. Jodie excused herself and went out to the shop. She began looking at the rods and reels, noting the prices. Jane came out and helped her.

Andy stopped to tell Jane and Jodie goodbye on his way out of the store. He told Jodie that he hoped to see her again soon.

-------

Trent pulled into the driveway at Kim's house. He parked his car, got out, and headed for the guesthouse. Sally opened the door when he knocked.

"Hi, Trent. Kim's in the kitchen. Come on in," Sally said.

Kim saw Trent walk into the kitchen. She got up, put her arms around him, and gave Trent a lingering kiss.

"Hi, Sweetie. I missed you yesterday," Kim said as she continued to hold Trent.

"I missed you too. Like I said when I called, I spent the day with Mom, Grandpa, and Jane. Jane is Grandpa's girlfriend." Trent gave Kim a kiss.

"That's cool. I spent the day cleaning and hanging around here. Fran and Randy are supposed to be here soon. Jack, Molly, and Tom went to the airport to pick them up."

Trent let go of Kim. She asked him if he wanted anything.

"I'd like a cup of coffee if you have some," Trent said.

"We finished the pot, but there's coffee in the big house. We can go get some there," Sally said.

Kim, Trent, and Sally went to the house, and then went to the kitchen to get coffee and see if Mrs. Durham baked.

"I have the new reels in my car. Mr. Nester brought them to the shop this morning. Grandpa and I put the new line on them," Trent said. He took a bite of an apple muffin.

"Great! We can get them later and take them to the boat," Kim said. "Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy are on the way over. We're all excited to see the video."

"Do you think you'll be on television?" Trent asked.

"If you listen to Sally we are. She says we can do our own show," Kim said.

Sally nodded. "I think we should produce our own show even if ESPN wants to do a show too. There's nothing that says we can't."

Kim heard the doorbell. She jumped up and went to answer it, leading Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy to the kitchen after she let them in.

The teens greeted each other. Brad and Eddie got coffee and sat at the table with the girls. Trent told them he had the new reels in the car.

"Let's go get them," Brad said. "I'm anxious to see the new reels."

Trent and Brad went to get the reels. They came back, placed the box on the table, and took out the reels. Eddie took one of them and looked it over.

"These are great. They're two speed with lever drags," Eddie said.

"Mr. Nester gave me this too." Trent handed the envelope to Jenny. "He said there are changes in the tournament we're fishing in North Carolina."

Jenny opened the envelope. She glanced at the forms and then began to read the information aloud.

"Wow, that's great! Eighty grand for first place is awesome," Sally said.

"Yeah and there's money for big fish each day, first fish, and total number of fish." Jenny stopped for a moment. "If we won everything, we'd get over a hundred thousand dollars."

"That would be cool, but we've never fished for tuna. We better start learning about it as soon as we can," Kim said.

"I'll start researching it on the internet. Maybe we can fish for tuna here in Florida and learn how to do it," Sally said.

"I've read a few articles on tuna fishing. The best yellow fin fishing is a long way offshore. One of the articles said that you have to run to the east wall of the Gulf Stream. That can be over a hundred miles," Eddie said.

"The boat will cruise at twenty five knots. The run would only take four hours, wouldn't it?" Brad said.

"If we left at four in the morning, we could be fishing by eight," Kim said.

"We can talk about it when Jack, Tom, and Molly get back. If everyone agrees, we'll plan a trip before we head north," Jenny said. "In the meantime, we should learn as much as we can about tuna fishing."

Jack, Tom, and Molly came into the kitchen with Fran and Randy. The group greeted each other and then Kim asked Fran and Randy if they'd like coffee. Molly helped Kim get coffee for everyone that wanted it.

"So, how was your flight?" Sally said.

"It was fine, Sally. We arrived on time," Randy said.

"Are you going to tell us what ESPN said?" Jenny said.

"Yes, we'll talk about it in a few minutes. Where are your parents?" Fran said.

"Our parents are upstairs. Everyone else is working," Kim said.

"Let's finish our coffee and take a look at the edited show," Randy said.

Kim went upstairs to get her parents. She also told Marc and Anne that Randy and Fran were there. They told Kim that they would be right down.

Don came down and took Randy and Fran aside. He talked with them for moment before getting a cup of coffee.

"I'm going to call Harry and Jack Waters. I think all of us should be here for this," Don said. He went to the telephone to make the calls.

"Everyone will be here in an hour," Don told the group.

Randy and Fran told everyone about what they'd been doing since they saw them last. Sally asked several questions about producing a show. Fran answered her as best she could.

Laura came into the kitchen. She said hi and then took a pan of muffins from the oven. While waiting for the rest of the parents to arrive, the group drank coffee and ate muffins.

Harry, Ellen, Jack, and Sarah showed up. A few minutes later, Jodie came in. The entire group went into the recreation room to watch the video. Randy loaded the tape in the player and started it. The group sat back, watching the action unfold. The entire show lasted about twenty minutes. Fran explained that they would have to insert commercials and that the show would run thirty minutes.

"What do you think?" Fran said.

"I think it was good, Fran. It doesn't really show everything that went on, but I guess you can't in twenty minutes. Did you try to get ESPN to change their minds?" Sally said.

"We talked to them several times. ESPN wants to run it as a special, but they don't want to do a series. They feel that there wouldn't be enough interest to draw viewers or sponsors. The suits said that they might change their minds once they received the ratings from the special," Randy said.

"I thought it was great," Trent whispered to Kim.

"I think it's good, but not great. It's just fishing. There isn't any personal aspect to it. I'm not talking about the BS on the reality shows, but we are way more than fishermen," Kim said.

"You're absolutely right, Kim. We have another version that has more of the conversations and other things that happened during the tournament, but ESPN didn't like that cut at all," Randy said.

"So, what are our choices?" Sally said.

"As far as this show goes, not much. ESPN will pay you the ten grand they promised, but that's it. We're sorry it didn't work out," Fran said.

"Do you think a show about the kids fishing could make it?" Don said.

"I think that with the right marketing it could work. There are other outdoor channels that might air it if we could line up sponsors," Randy said.

"Sally mentioned producing a show before. We think we can do that. When ESPN airs the show, we'll get some exposure. That will help attract sponsors," Fran said.

"It's time for lunch. I think you kids should talk it over and decide what you want to do," Don said. Don and the rest of the adults went to the kitchen.

"Let's watch it again," Kathy said.

Randy rewound the tape and replayed it. The teens asked him to pause the tape several times so they could make comments.

"I ordered the uniforms for Trent this morning. They'll be ready on Wednesday. Our supplier had the shirts, pants, and shorts in stock. They use a computerized embroidering machine that makes short work of adding the logo and Trent's name," Ellen said as she walked into the kitchen with the other parents.

"That's wonderful, Ellen. Trent will be excited when I tell him," Jodie said.

Marge, Anne, and Laura prepared lunch for everyone. They took the food out to the patio and called the teens to come eat. Sitting at one of the tables, the team discussed the idea of producing a show about offshore fishing.

"We should go put the new reels on the rods," Tom said. "We can talk on the boat."

Everyone agreed with Tom. Trent went into the house to get the box and the group walked down to the boat. As they passed the yacht, Jeri came out on deck. She waved to the group and asked what was going on. Jack told her that they were going to the fishing boat to take care of the reels.

"That yacht is huge," Fran said.

"We can go look at Tomiko if you'd like. The boys can take care of the reels," Sally said.

Fran and Randy said that they'd love to see the yacht. The girls told the boys they would be there in a few minutes and walked back toward the yacht. Jeri welcomed them aboard and then April came out from the cabin. April and Jeri led Fran and Randy through the yacht, telling them about the many amenities.

"Fran and Randy are videographers. They made a pilot for ESPN of our last tournament," Kim said to Jeri.

"I heard about that. How did it come out?" Jeri said.

"The tape is good, but ESPN doesn't want to do a series about us. They're going to run it as a special though," Sally said. "We should have them make a video about Tomiko. We could use it to help charter the yacht."

"That is a great idea, Sally." April smiled and turned to Randy. "Would you two be able to do something like that?"

"Sure, it would be easy. If we taped from the fishing boat, we could get video of her underway," Fran said.

"We'll talk to you about it later. How long are you going to be in Florida?" Jeri said.

"We're not sure, but we'll be here for at least a week. Fran and I want to tape the team's tournament this weekend," Randy said.

Jeri and April finished the tour of the yacht. They introduced them to Frank and Erin, telling Fran and Randy that they worked on the yacht. In the galley, they met Yoshi.

"I've never been on anything like this," Fran said. "The yacht is very luxurious. I know that Randy and I can make a great video of her."

"We'll contact our charter broker and invite her over. She can tell you what we'll need," Jeri said.

The girls left the yacht with Fran and Randy. They went to the fishing boat to see how the boys were doing with the new reels. Eddie stood in the cockpit showing Trent and the others how to attach the reels to the rods and secure them with the clamps.

"What's the lug on the clamp for?" Trent asked as he pointed to a metal loop under the reel.

"That's for a safety line. If we start fishing for tuna and blue marlin, we'll use them to keep from losing the rods. Those fish can rip a rod out of your hands before you know it," Eddie said.

Kim walked over to Trent. She stood next to him, watching Eddie. He put his arm around her shoulders, pulling Kim close.

"We'll be finished with the reels in a few minutes," Jack said.

"I'm going below to move my stuff into Trent's and my stateroom," Kim said.

Kim and the other girls went below. They helped Kim move her clothing from the stateroom she once shared with Tom to the room she would share with Trent.

"It looks like you and Trent are getting serious," Jenny said as she put Kim's underwear into one of the drawers.

"I like him, Jenny," Kim said.

"That's easy to see," Molly said. "I think it's great, Kim."

"It is, Molly."

"It must be hard for him to start over," Kathy said. She sat on the berth and giggled. "Who's sleeping up there?" Kathy pointed at the bunk.

Kim giggled and said, "Not Trent or me."

"Have you two screwed yet?" Jenny said.

"No, I'm taking it slow. I kind of hope Trent will initiate it," Kim said.

"What if he doesn't?" Kathy said.

"Then Kim will jump his bones!" Sally said with a giggle. Kim laughed and nodded her head.

"Trent is very shy, isn't he?" Jenny said.

"Yeah, but that's okay. He just has to get comfortable with me," Kim said. "It's nice you know. Most boys would be pushing for sex."

"If you ever get too horny, just let me know," Sally said. She put her arm around Kim and hugged her.

"I might crawl into bed with you anyway," Kim said.

"No problem as long as Jack says that it's okay," Sally replied.

"Okay you two, let's go topside," Molly said.

The girls finished moving Kim's things. They went up to the cockpit and watched as Jack finished the last reel. Trent asked Eddie to show him how the oil exchange system worked so he could start helping with the engines. They went to the engine room and Eddie began explaining how things worked and what was necessary to maintain the systems.

Trent and Eddie came up from the engine room. Trent walked over to Kim and put his arm around her waist.

"That engine room is amazing, Kim. Eddie is going to let me help change the oil the next time it needs changing," Trent said.

Kim giggled. "If you say so. I don't know anything about the engines or anything else down there. I'm supposed to learn, but I haven't yet."

"Why are you supposed to learn about the engine room?"

"Eddie says that everyone on the team has to know about everything on the boat. I know about most of the electronics and I can operate the boat except for docking. Eddie said that we never know what's going to happen and that we all have to be able to take over."

"Does that mean I'll learn to operate the boat?"

"Yup and not only that. You'll have to learn how to run the dishwasher and the washing machine too. Everything means everything on the boat. There are no girl jobs or boy jobs. Everyone does everything," Kim said.

"I don't mind washing dishes or clothes. I have to do it at home."

Jack and Eddie finished checking the rods a second time. They put them in a rod locker and joined the rest of the team.

"Let's go into the cabin and talk about the video," Jenny said.

The team went into the cabin. Randy and Fran came with them when Sally asked them to. In the cabin, everyone sat on the settees and chairs.

"What do we want to do about the show? We know that ESPN doesn't want to run a series, but Sally thinks we can produce a show ourselves," Jenny said.

"How much will it cost to produce our own show?" Tom said.

Jenny shrugged her shoulders and looked at Sally.

"From what I've read so far, it shouldn't be too much. We have to buy camera and sound equipment, but that's about it. We don't need a studio because we'll do the shows from the boat. We'll have to learn about producing and promoting, but I don't think that will be too hard either," Sally said.

"There are two basic ways to do a show. First, you can work for the network. That was the plan for ESPN. They pay you for the show and air it in their slots. The other way is to do it is to produce your own show. You sell the idea to advertisers and sell them time. Then you purchase time blocks from the network and air the show.

"The idea is to get more from the advertisers than it costs to produce and air the show. You'll make more money producing the show on your own, but there are greater risks," Randy said.

"What would we have to do if we decided to produce our own show?" Brad said.

"You'd have to write a business plan, script the shows, hire a film crew, find advertisers, and find a network," Randy said. "There are several networks that specialize in outdoor shows."

"That sounds like those infomercials you see late at night," Eddie said.

"It's a lot like that, but you'll want to buy time blocks in a better time slot. The networks have demographics on their viewers for each of their time slots. The more viewers a time slot has, the more expensive it is," Randy said.

"So, it sounds like the advertisers are key to having a successful show," Kim said.

"That's where the money comes from if you produce your own show," Fran said.

"How do you find advertisers?" Molly asked.

"The best way is to produce a tape to show them and make it part of the business plan. You contact companies you think would benefit from sponsoring your show, send them the business plan and video, and then do your best to sell them on your idea," Randy said.

For the next hour, the team asked questions about producing a television show. Randy and Fran answered the questions they could and told the teens about several shows they worked on in the past. Randy told them about successful shows as well as failures.

"I think we need to talk to our parents," Sally said. She looked at Randy and Fran. "If we decided to go ahead with this, would you want to be a part of it?"

"If you want to hire Fran and me as the film crew, I think we can work something out," Randy said.

"That's not what I'm thinking. If we do this, we'd want you to be part of the production company," Sally said.

"We'd have to think about it, Sally," Fran said.

The group left the boat and went to the house. They sat on the patio and continued talking about starting a new venture. The one thing they all agreed on was the fact that they didn't know enough to do it on their own.

"I'll be glad when those guys next door are finished using the heavy equipment. They make too much noise," Tom said.

"What going on over there?" Randy said.

"They're building a new house. The old owner burnt his house down and our parents bought the property," Jack said.

"Did they catch the old owner?" Fran said.

"Yeah, he's in jail as far as we know," Tom said.

"Have you kids thought about the television show?" Don asked.

"Yeah, but we haven't decided what to do yet," Jack said. "Randy and Fran gave us a lot of good information and Sally has done a lot of research. We have to decide if we want to move forward or not."

"Why wouldn't you move forward?" Marc said.

"For one thing, it's a lot of work," Kim said.

"That may be true, but anything worth having or doing is a lot of work. Just look at your fishing. That's hard work and requires hours of your time to be good at it," Don said.

"That's true, but we don't know if we can be successful," Tom said.

"Tom, you never know if you'll be successful if you don't try. We didn't know if our subdivision project would be successful, but we went ahead with it. As it turns out, the project will be very profitable. I'm not telling you what to do, but don't shy away from hard work," Don said.

"Don's right. I think you kids should give it a lot of thought before throwing in the towel," Marge said.

"If I could make a suggestion," Joel said. "I think you kids should sit down and list all of the pros and cons of your idea. Do it separately, or as couples. After you compile your lists, get together and compare them. That way you can see what everyone's thoughts are."

"That's a great idea, Dad. What do you guys think?" Molly said. She glanced at Tom, hoping she didn't overstep her bounds.

"I agree with Molly. We should do it if we think we want to move forward," Tom said.

Molly sighed and smiled at Tom. He winked at her. The team members got up and went to the guesthouse to get paper and pens. Jack and Sally went to their room to work on their list. Sally took out her notebook computer and turned it on.

Tom and Molly went to their room and sat on the bed. Tom gave her a hug and kiss. "That was a great idea, Sweetie," Tom said. Molly smiled at him. "I will think better if you're naked."

Molly giggled. She stood next to the bed and removed her clothes. Tom pulled her on top of him and began rubbing her body. Molly kissed Tom as she wiggled against him. "I think it would be better if I get naked too. Undress me."

Scooting next to Tom, Molly began removing his clothes. She pulled his shirt over his head and then unfastened his shorts. As she worked his shorts and boxers down his legs, she kissed Tom's exposed skin. Leaning over, Molly sucked his penis into her mouth. Tom moaned and ran his fingers through Molly's hair. She bobbed her head and sucked him until Tom pulled her off his member.

Tom and Molly moved up and rested their backs against the headboard. Molly picked up the pad of paper and pen.

"I love you, Tom," Molly said.

Placing his hand on her leg, Tom rubbed Molly. He moved up and stroked her mons. "I love you too. Now, let's make our list."

Jenny and Brad used one of the rooms to work on their list. They sat on the bed and began talking.

"What do you think about this idea?" Jenny said.

"I think it's great, Jen. We've watched some of the shows on television and I feel we can do as well or better. I also think we should get Eddie and Kathy. The four of us have always done everything together," Brad said.

"That's a great idea. Hold on, I'll get them."

Jenny went to find her brother and Kathy. She took them to the room where Brad waited for them. The four teens sat on the bed together.

"Jenny and I think that producing a television show is a good idea. What do you two think about it?" Brad said.

"It sounds like fun to me. We can do a lot of different things with a show like the one we're talking about. I don't know much about the business aspect, but we know how to fish," Eddie said.

"So, what are the pros and cons?" Kathy said.

"One of the pros is that if the show is successful we'll make money. That will allow us to fish more often," Eddie said.

"I think that the learning experience would be worth the effort," Jenny said.

"Other than hard work, I don't see anything negative," Kathy said.

"I'm not afraid of hard work. All of us get along so I don't think we'll have any problems we can't handle," Brad said.

Kathy made notes as they talked. They tried to find cons to list, but couldn't come up with any that seemed serious enough to prevent them from trying the venture.

In Kim's room, she and Trent sat on the edge of the bed. They began kissing and snuggling. "We should make our list," Trent said.

"I know, but I haven't had any time alone with you today," Kim replied.

"Shouldn't we wait? The others are going to want to see our ideas," Trent said.

"No wonder I like you. You're cute and practical," Kim said with a giggle. "Okay, let's talk about the show. I want to do it."

"Why?"

"Um, because it sounds like fun. I think we can have a blast fishing and taping the shows." Kim ran her fingers through Trent's hair. She leaned closer, kissing him.

"You don't mind the fact it's going to be a lot of work?"

"Do you?"

"No, I don't mind it at all, Kim. Finishing my car was hard work, but when I did finish it, it felt great. I've never had an opportunity to do anything like this and I want to see if we can do it."

Kim nodded and started writing. She put down the feeling of accomplishment as one of the positive things. Trent insisted she also list hard work as a pro rather than a con. He repeated his feelings that working hard at something was rewarding. They tried to think of other things, but had trouble coming up with something that made sense.

Putting the pad down, Kim wrapped her arms around Trent. They fell back on the bed and began kissing. Trent moved his hand to one of Kim's breast without her guiding him. In her mind, Kim yelled 'oh yeah' because Trent made the first move.

"You have already done this, haven't you?" Jack said to Sally.

Sally smiled and nodded her head. "I made a list when I started thinking about producing a television show. Is that okay?"

"Yes it's okay. Let me see what you have."

Sally brought up as spreadsheet with a list of things she felt made the idea valid. Jack sat next to her, reading the list. In the con column, Sally's list was empty.

"There has to be a downside, Sally," Jack said.

"What?"

"The one thing I can see as a negative is the number of people involved. It will be hard to make decisions," Jack said.

"I don't think that will be a problem, Honey. We'll have to form a corporation and pick officers. The rest of us will be the board of directors. The president will be responsible for the day-to-day decisions and the board will oversee the business. We can vote on things we have to."

"Don't you think that egos might get in the way?"

"Not if all of us agree on how the company will be run before hand. If we can't agree, the idea is dead," Sally said. "I think all of us want the same thing. We want to have fun and produce a show. The rest of it is what's necessary to do that."

"You've given this a lot of thought, haven't you?" Sally giggled as she nodded her head. "You make me very proud, Sweetheart. I love you to death."

Sally closed her computer and put it aside. She crawled over to Jack and began removing her top. He smiled and helped her pull the tee shirt over her head. Jack reached behind Sally and released her bra. He pulled her closer, kissing each of her breasts.

"Have I been neglecting you?" Jack said as he played with Sally's breasts.

"No, but you have been neglecting my pussy. It misses your big cock."

Jack chuckled and said, "We made love last night, Baby."

"I know we did. I was hoping that you'd fuck me today."

"Take my cock out and we'll see what we can do about that."

Grinning, Sally unfastened Jack's shorts. She tugged them down to his knees and started rubbing his penis. Using her other hand, Sally unbuttoned her shorts. She wiggled around, trying to get them over her hips.

Jack watched Sally as she squirmed on the bed. She finally took his penis in her mouth to free up her other hand. As she sucked on him, Sally removed her shorts. She scooted up, straddled Jack's legs, and rubbed his glans against her labia. Sally held his penis at her opening, groaning as Jack pushed up and into her. He wrapped his arms around her body and started driving his penis into Sally. She threw her head back and met his thrusts.

-------

On the patio, Don and the other parents talked with Randy and Fran. Don and Marc had been corresponding with them for several weeks. Don and Marc also kept the rest of the parents informed about the things they found out.

The parents felt that their children would want to produce a fishing show. When Randy told them that ESPN wasn't interested in the concept, Don asked Joel to investigate the possibility of the kids doing something on their own. He and the other parents knew it was an undertaking that would be almost impossible for the teens to handle on their own.

"We've talked with several of the cable channels. Fran and I think that The Outdoor Channel is our best bet. If we can find enough advertising, we can make this work," Randy said.

"Do you think the kids are taking on too much?" Ellen said. "They have the fishing club and the tournaments already. Those things along, with school and producing a television show, may be overwhelming."

"I think that the kids will be okay, Ellen. Do you remember how hard Eddie and Jenny worked on the boat? They managed to keep up their grades, work at the boatyard, and fish." Harry chuckled. "Not to mention their dating."

Don listened to the parents for a few moments and then polled them. In the end, they agreed that the kids could handle the new venture as long as they had help.

"Are we going to tell them we've already started the ball rolling?" Jack Waters said.

"I think we should wait and see what they come back with. They might decide it's too much and not want to do the show," Laura said.

"How do you feel about this, Jodie?" Anne asked Trent's mother.

"I don't know what to think. This is very confusing to me. I never thought that I'd have to think of anything like this concerning Trent. I guess I'll go along with what the rest of you decide," Jodie said.

"Jodie, your voice is as loud as anyone's here. This concerns our children and we feel that everyone has to agree if it will work. The kids, if they decide to start this project, will spend a lot of time working together. That means that we as parents will be spending a lot of time together too," Marc said.

"You don't have to worry about what anyone thinks, Jodie. Just say what's on your mind," Laura told her friend.

"Trent can do whatever he wants to do. My son has made a huge turnaround since he met your children and I don't want him reverting to his old ways. I haven't seen my son this excited about anything since his father bought his car and they began working on it. He used to love working on his car, but when his dad passed away, he lost interest. Trent finished the car, but I know his heart wasn't in it. So, if we're voting, I vote yes."

"Great, Jodie. Now all we have to do is wait for the kids to tell us what they want to do," Don said. "In the mean time, who'd like a drink?"

Marc, Don, and Joel fixed drinks for everyone. They passed them out and then sat down with the rest of the group.

Andy Nester came into the yard and immediately walked over to Jodie. He smiled and said, "Hi, Jodie."

"Hi, Andy, it's nice to see you again," Jodie said.

Andy looked at the rest of the group and said hi to all of them.

"I'm sorry I'm late, but I have been on the phone for the last couple hours. Shimano is interested in becoming the key sponsor for the show if the team decides to produce it. I also talked with Marlin Parker. He said he's in too," Andy said.

"The kids are deciding what they want to do right now. I think we'll know soon," Don said. He shook Andy's hand and asked him if he wanted a drink.

"Sure, I'll have whatever everyone else is having," Andy said. He pulled a chair close to Jodie and sat down.

-------

In the guesthouse, the team members gathered in the living room. Sally opened her notebook computer and pulled up her spreadsheet.

"Okay, let's hear what we've come up with," Sally said. "I have a spreadsheet that I'll enter the pros and cons into."

"Eddie, Kathy, Brad, and I worked together. We can't think of anything negative. We know it's going to be hard work, but as Mr. Graham said, anything worth doing is hard work. On the positive side, we think the experience will be great. We'll learn about producing a show and business," Jenny said.

"That's the same way Kim and I feel," Trent said after Kim nudged his side.

"Molly and I think we should do it," Tom said.

Kim giggled and said, "Hurry up, we have to finish this."

"That's not what I meant, Kim! We think the production company is a good idea," Tom shot back.

"If we do this, and it works out, it will pay for our fishing. Our parents won't have to give us money," Eddie said.

"Not only that, but it will help promote our sport. If we get kids to watch it, it will help support fishing," Kathy said.

"So, let's take a vote. Everyone that thinks we should go forward raise their hand," Sally said. She raised her right hand.

The rest of the team raised their hands and then they laughed.

"Okay, we'll tell our parents we want to do this. I don't think we should say try it. I know we're going to be successful," Sally said.

"What's the next step?" Jenny said.

"We have to talk to our parents. I think that Mr. Levinson will be able to help us set up the company," Sally said. "We need a name for our company too."

The teens began bantering around several different names. Then Kim said, "How about Unique Productions?"

"I like that, Kim," Kathy said. "Unique Productions has my vote."

Sally called for another vote. Everyone agreed to call the new company Unique Productions. No one cared that the charter business' name was Unique Adventures."

"Are we ready?" Jack said.

The team left the guesthouse and went to the patio. They stood together, waiting until one of the adults acknowledged them. Don looked up and smiled.

"Have you come to a decision?" Don said.

"Yes, we've decided we are going to do it, Dad. All of us think that the only down side is hard work and we're not afraid of that. We feel that the experience will be helpful to all of us," Jack said.

"Good. Now the work begins. You kids have to set up a company and find financing," Don said.

"We didn't think about financing," Tom said.

Don and the other parents chuckled. "I think I can give you a hand with setting up the company and getting things rolling," Joel said.

"We want to call our company Unique Productions," Kathy said.

"I'll do a name search and find out if we can name it that," Joel said. "If the name is available, I'll file it with the county."

"What do we have to do now?" Brad said.

"Well, I guess it's going to come out sooner or later. We have already started putting things together. We didn't know if you would decide to start the company, but we wanted to be ready in case you did. Now that we know that you're serious, we're ready to get going," Marc said.

"We, all of us, met and talked about this. Don contacted Randy and Fran for input on producing a television show. Joel drew up the articles of incorporation for you. Andy just told us that Shimano is interested in sponsoring the show. So is Marlin Parker. We'll need more advertisers, but I think we can secure them," Harry said.

The team thanked Andy for the support and the new reels. He told them it was his pleasure.

"Why don't we plan a meeting for Wednesday afternoon? We'll meet at my office and get everything signed," Joel said.

"Can we do it late in the afternoon or on Thursday? We're planning to practice tuna fishing on Wednesday morning," Eddie said.

"Is your practice more important than this?" Sarah said.

"The new company is very important, Mom. We're all excited to get it going, but we have committed to a tournament in two weeks and we need to practice fishing for tuna. We're planning to run out to the east wall on Wednesday," Brad said.

"We can meet on Thursday. I think it's very important to schedule things and stick to the schedule," Joel said. "That attitude will help you succeed. Let's schedule the meeting for ten on Thursday morning."

"What's the east wall?" Jodie said.

"The Gulf Stream flows from south to north in the ocean. The edge closest to shore is the west wall and the other side of the Gulf Stream is the east wall. Our research shows that the tuna travel along the east wall so we're going out there to practice," Eddie said.

"How far out is it?" Jodie said.

"The Gulf Stream is constantly changing. At this time of year, the east wall is about fifty to seventy five miles offshore. We'll watch the water temperature and the water to locate it," Eddie said.

"How long does it take to go that far?" Jodie said.

"The boat cruises at twenty five knots. It will take about three or four hours," Trent said. He chuckled and looked at Kim. "See, I'm learning."

Kim giggled and nodded.

"What are you kids going to do about a film crew?" Marc said.

"Well, we kind of thought that Fran and Randy would be part of the production company and take care of that part of the business," Sally said. She turned to look at Fran and Randy. "You guys are interested, aren't you?"

Fran and Randy smiled as they nodded their heads.

"That's great. Are you guys going to go fishing with us on Wednesday?" Jack said.

"We'd love to, but Fran and I have a lot to do. We have to find a place to live and then move our things down from New York," Randy said.

"Are you going to buy or rent?" Joel said.

"We'll probably rent for now. Once we have a chance to look around the area, we'll buy a house," Fran said.

"I have a proposition for you. Laura and I are looking for a new place and I have a condo that I'm planning to sell. You two could use it until you get established. We're living at Laura's house for now. The condo is furnished and ready to live in," Joel said.

"That sounds great as long as we can afford it," Randy said.

"We'll take a look at the condo tomorrow. If you like it, I'm sure we can make a deal," Joel replied. "By the way, do you have the list of equipment that I asked you to put together?"

"Yes, it's in the house. I'll get it for you," Randy said.

Randy went into the house, returning with a folder. He sat next to Joel and told the teens to join them. He opened the folder and began showing everyone brochures of cameras, lighting, sound equipment, and other things the new production company would need.

"These things are all top of the line. We could buy different equipment and save money," Randy said.

"I think we should get the best we can afford," Tom said. The rest of the team members agreed with Tom.

"What are going to do about funding the new company?" Eddie said.

Joel chuckled and said, "All of the parents are all going to be stockholders. They will buy shares to fund the company. Once you get going, you can buy the stock back from them."

"How much money do we have?" Molly asked.

"We're starting with one hundred thousand dollars. That should be enough to get this going. We'll lease the video equipment so we don't have to make large capital purchases. If you want me to, I will take care of the finances until you kids learn about running a business," Joel said.

Everyone agreed that they wanted Joel to help them. He told Randy and Fran to order the equipment and have it shipped to the house. He also explained that because the fishing team was a business and it owned the boat, they would rent the boat to the production company.

"What about the money we win fishing tournaments? What will we do with that?" Jenny said.

"That won't change too much. We'll use the winnings to fund the team and pay for the boat. That, along with the money the production company pays the team will cover all of the boat expenses. You kids will draw a salary from the production company," Joel explained.

Randy and Fran went over the list of equipment, explaining everything to the team. They told them that all of the cameras they selected were equipped with image stabilization and that the sound equipment was top of the line.

"We plan to buy an articulating camera mount so we can get shots from the stern looking into the cockpit," Randy said.

"Should we replace the cockpit cameras we have on the boat with better ones?" Eddie said.

"It wouldn't hurt. The cameras you have are good, but we should get better ones for production," Fran said.

Joel excused himself. The team sat with Randy and Fran, talking about the things they needed to do to begin shooting.

"We need to develop a list of shows we want to produce. We also need a business plan so we can pitch the idea to sponsors," Sally said. "I have a few ideas on my notebook computer. We should go over them and add what we want."

"That's a good idea, Sally. Why don't you go get your computer and we can take a look at what you have," Fran said.

"Why don't we go to the house and look at it there?" Kim said.

The group went to the guesthouse and sat down at the table. Sally got her computer from her room and put on the table. She booted it up and then opened the spreadsheet. Fran and Randy reviewed the list with the team, making comments on how complete the information Sally gathered seemed to be.

"Do you have the pictures of me with my fish on this computer?" Trent said.

Sally giggled and nodded. She opened a folder and began displaying the pictures.

"Can I send these to my friend tonight?" Trent said as he looked at the picture of him, the fish, and the topless girls.

"Sure, what's his email address?" Sally said.

"I wouldn't do that," Randy said.

"Why not?" Trent asked.

"You kids have to realize that once you're on television, you have to be very careful of what you do. If you send pictures like this to someone, you lose control of them. Once you send them to anyone, they could show up all over the internet and that could ruin the chance of a successful show. You guys are minors and sending pictures of you naked is illegal," Randy said.

"Wow, I never thought about that. The girls said they didn't mind if I sent them," Trent said.

"It doesn't matter if they mind or not. It's illegal and that's all that matters. If you want to show your friend the pictures, show him in person, but never let anyone else have copies of them," Fran said.

"I'm glad we found out before we sent them," Trent said.

"Are we going to use the tape we have to show prospective sponsors or are we going to do something else?" Kathy said.

"We should do both if the ESPN special is well received. We'll want to show the sponsors that we've had a show aired and that we have new material for our show," Randy said.

"Have you and Fran produced before?" Molly said.

"No, but we've been involved in the industry for several years. We don't have all the answers, but we have a good idea of what we need to do. I think that we'll be fine as long as we all work together," Fran said.

The group began going over Sally's list again. They all voiced their ideas, recording the ones that they felt would be successful.

-------

"I think the kids are going to do fine," Joel said as he rejoined the group of parents.

"Just make sure you keep a close eye on them," Marge said.

"Not to worry, Marge. I'll keep track of everything they do as far as the money goes. When I set up their accounts, I'll make sure it takes several signatures to make any purchases," Joel replied.

"I think it's great that your company is willing to sponsor the kids," Jodie said to Andy.

"It's a business decision, Jodie. Shimano wouldn't agree to sponsor them unless they feel they'll receive a benefit. This is an entirely new concept. Having teenagers doing a fishing show is a new idea. If you ask me, the kids won't have any trouble lining up sponsors," Andy said.

"Maybe I should order a few more outfits for the team while I can. I don't know how much longer I'll have access to the resources I have now," Ellen said.

"That's a good idea, Ellen. Are you thinking of getting more of the same outfits or something else?" Anne said.

"I think you should stick with what they have. The kids like their outfits," Sarah said.

"Okay, I'll order them tomorrow. How many should I get?" Ellen said.

The women chatted for a few minutes and decided that they would order five complete outfits for each of the team members and a few for Randy and Fran. Ellen said that she would ask Fran about her and Randy's sizes.

"Andy, we're taking the yacht to the tuna tournament. Would you like to ride with us?" Don said.

"I'd love to if my schedule will allow me to take a couple extra days," Andy said. "If not, I can meet you there." He glanced at Jodie. "Are you going?"

"Yes, I plan to go up with the rest of the parents," Jodie replied with a smile. She and Andy held their gaze for a moment.

"Jodie, would you like to have dinner with me one of these days?" Andy said.

"Yes, I'd like that, Andy. When would you like to go?"

"Is tonight good for you?"

"Sure, that sounds fine," Jodie said.

Turning her attention back to the table, Jodie realized that the other parents heard her brief exchange with Andy. She felt herself blushing and smiled. Marge smiled back, winking at her newest friend.

"What's going on with the lot next door?" Joel said.

"They told us that they will have the foundation poured this week and then start construction. We decided to basically duplicate this house. I don't think we'll build a guesthouse so we'll have additional parking," Don said.

"Are you going to build an apartment over the garage?" Harry said.

"Yes, we'll have an apartment and add a cabana by the pool," Marc said.

"Why aren't you building something different?" Ellen said.

"The way we see it is we're here for the long haul. We like the layout of our house so we decided that we'd build another one just like it," Anne said. "We may use it for charter clients, but we haven't decided on that yet."

"I'm going in for fresh drinks. Is everyone ready?" Don said.

Don and the rest of the men went into the house to mix drinks for the group. The women decided that they wanted to take a swim and get some sun. They went to the cabana, showered, and put on suits. When Don and the other men returned, they took the drinks to the pool. The men went to the cabana to change into suits so they could swim with the women.

The entire group jumped into the pool. They swam for a few minutes and then relaxed in the refreshing water. The men gathered at one side of the pool and the woman gathered on the other side.

"What have you heard about the shop, Ellen?" Marge said.

"Nothing new. I know that the owner is still planning to list it though. She hasn't said too much about it to any of us," Ellen said.

"The owner of the lingerie shop Ellen works for is planning to sell it," Laura told Jodie.

"What will you do if you lose your job?" Jodie said.

"I think I'm going to take some time off and then maybe I'll work with Harry at the boatyard. I love the shop and my job, but life goes on. There's always a chance the new owner will keep me and the other women that work there," Ellen said.

"Did I hear Andy ask you out, Jodie?" Laura said.

Smiling, Jodie nodded her head. "Yes, he's taking me out for dinner later. I hope it isn't too soon. I'm worried that Trent won't like it if I go on a date."

"Talk to him and tell him before you go. I'm sure he'll understand," Marge said.

"I hope so. I'm not looking for anything serious, but it's been over two years since I've gone out."

"Andy isn't married is he? I used to go out with a married man and it sucked. Bill was great, but I felt guilty every time we went out," Laura said.

"He told me that he's divorced. I guess his ex wife didn't like the fact he travels for his job."

"I guess that traveling is hard for some people. I don't know how I'd handle it if Jack traveled for his job," Sarah said.

"I think that if you care about someone that you'll adapt," Anne said.

"How much traveling does Andy have to do?" Ellen said.

"I have no idea. I just met him this morning," Jodie said with a chuckle.

"Wow, he works fast," Laura said and then she laughed.

"It's just dinner, Laura," Jodie said.

The women left the pool and gathered on the lounges along the side of the pool. They relaxed in the sun, sipped their cocktails, and watched the men.

"I have to go back to work and close tonight," Ellen said.

"I'll go with you, Ellen. I want to take a look at a few things," Sarah said.

"We'll see you two later. If you're not busy, come back," Marge said.

"I have to clean my house and take care of a few things at home tonight. Maybe I'll come over on Wednesday while the kids are fishing," Ellen said. "I'm off that day."

The rest of the women told Ellen and Sarah that they'd see them soon. They told their husbands where they were going and then went to the cabana to change. Harry and Jack Waters got out of the pool and told everyone that they were leaving too.

The teens walked past the pool on their way to the fishing boat. Jodie stopped Trent and took him aside.

"Trent, Andy asked me out for dinner. You wouldn't be upset with me if I went, would you?" Jodie said.

"Heck no! Why would you think that?"

"I just felt that you might think it's too soon."

"Mom, I think it's cool that you're going out. Don't worry about me. I'm fine with it. Not that you have to ask my permission," Trent said.

"I'm not asking permission. I'm just asking if you're okay with it."

"Yeah, Mom, I'm fine with anything you want to do. I want to know if it's okay if I stay here tomorrow night. We're planning on leaving very early Wednesday morning."

"You can stay, Son. Thanks for understanding," Jodie said.

Trent nodded and headed to the fishing boat. Jodie returned to the pool, sitting near Laura and the other women.

"Well that went great," Jodie said. "Trent said he's fine with me going out for dinner with Andy."

"See, you worried for nothing," Laura said.

"I guess I did. I better get going so I can get ready. I'll talk to you tomorrow and let you know how it went," Jodie said.

Jodie said goodbye to her friends. On the way to the cabana, she asked Andy what time he would pick her up. He told Jodie that he'd pick her up at seven o'clock."

Laura went to the cabana to change. She and Jodie used the same shower room so they could talk.

"I can't believe how nervous I feel," Jodie said. "It's been a long time since I've been on a date."

"Is it a date or just dinner?" Laura said.

"I'm not sure. What do you think?"

"From the way Andy kept looking at you, I'd say it's a date. At least I think that's how he feels. How about you, what do you want?"

"I don't know. I'm just going to go to dinner and see what happens, Laura."

The two women finished showering and then they dressed. Jodie said goodbye and left. Laura went into the house and gathered her things so she could go home when Joel was ready.

Marge moved next to Anne. She glanced across the pool, watching her husband talking with Marc, Joel, and Andy. She wondered what they were talking about so intently.

"It's too bad about Ellen and her job, isn't it?" Anne said.

"Yeah, I hope things work out for her," Marge replied.

"I was thinking about the shop. I love the things they carry."

Marge looked at Anne and smiled. "Okay, what are you thinking?"

"Well, I was thinking it might be fun to work there. The kids are busy and will be in school before we know it. Our husbands have their projects to keep them busy. We don't have anything to do," Anne said.

"You mean it might be fun to own the shop, don't you?"

"How do you feel about it?"

"I think it would be fun too. We wouldn't have to work every day if we didn't want to. If we bought the shop, we could keep the employees. Ellen already knows how to run the place," Marge said.

"What do you think Don and Marc will say if we ask them?"

"I think they'll help us." Anne giggled. "I also think that we can have some fun asking them about doing it."

"You're so devious! What do you have in mind?" Marge said.

"I think we should have our hubbies take us shopping tomorrow. We'll take them to Sheer Delights and model a few sexy outfits for them. Then we'll tell them we want to buy the shop. If they hesitate, we can take them into the dressing room and convince them," Anne replied and then both of them laughed.

"You know that they'll let us buy the shop if we ask don't you?"

"I know, but this will be more fun, Marge."

"Okay, that's our plan," Marge said.

The two women began talking about the shop. They agreed that working again would be fun and fulfilling.

"Do you think we should let Ellen know what we're up to?" Anne said.

"Not yet. Let's play it by ear and maybe we can have some fun with her too," Marge said.

"I think we should make Ellen a partner."

"Do you mean like the guys made Bob and Dianne partners with the golf course?" Marge said. Anne nodded. "I think that's a great idea."

Don and Marc stood near Andy Nester on the far side of the pool from their wives. The three men discussed how Shimano's sponsorship would help the team and the new production company. Andy told them that he would make Shimano's marketing department available as long as the production company didn't try to engage a competitor.

"Andy, who do you think the kids should approach for additional sponsorships?" Marc said.

"I think they should go after a company with deep pockets. Most major companies have advertising budgets in the millions. They have advertising agencies that put together campaigns to promote the companies and products," Andy said.

"Does that mean they kids should contact the agencies instead of the companies?" Don said.

"I'm not too sure how that works, but I think our marketing department can offer help. Listen, I have to get going. I'm taking Jodie out for dinner tonight."

"Okay, Andy, have a good time. We'll talk to you later," Don said. Marc said goodbye and Andy went to get dressed.

-------

On the boat, the team sat in the salon talking about their fishing trip on Wednesday. Randy and Fran told them that they wished they could go, but they had too much to do to get ready for their move to Florida. Telling the team that they'd see them later, Randy and Fran left.

"I've been thinking about practicing for tuna fishing," Kathy said. "Do we know enough about it to get started or is there more we need to research?"

"From what I've read, it doesn't seem too much different from the way we fish now. We have all the tackle we need," Eddie said.

"Do you know anyone that might be able to give us a few pointers?" Sally said.

"I do. I can call Nate and see if he would help us," Jenny replied.

"Maybe we should hire Nate to go with us. That way we could learn first hand," Jack said.

"I'll call him," Jenny said. She took her cell phone out and used speed dial to call Nate.

"Hi, Nate, it's Jenny. How are you doing?" Jenny said when Nate answered her call.

"I'm good, Little Bit, how are you and the rest of the team?" Nate replied in his gruff voice.

"We're fine. Nate, we're going to fish a tuna tournament in a couple weeks. We plan to go out and practice on Wednesday. We're wondering if we could hire you to teach us how to fish for them. Have you fished for tuna before?"

"I used to fish tuna a lot, but because of the cost, most of my charters don't want to go after them anymore. I don't have a charter booked for Wednesday and I'd be happy to give you a hand. Are you planning to run out to the east wall?" Nate said.

"Yeah, that's what we've talked about. Should we go somewhere else?" Jenny said.

"No, that's fine. Do you kids have everything you need?"

"We think so."

"Do you have any lightweight rods and reels? We'll need to make bait before we head out."

Jenny turned to the group. "Nate wants to know if we have rods and reels we can use to catch bait."

"We have the rods and reels we used for salmon fishing. The reels are spooled with twenty pound test line," Jack said.

Jenny told Nate what Jack said. He told her that would be fine. "What time are we leaving?" Nate said.

"We planned to get underway at four in the morning," Jenny said.

"I'll be there, Little Bit. I'm looking forward to fishing with you and Eddie again."

"Do you know where we keep the boat, Nate?"

"Do you still moor her at the marina?"

"No, we keep her at our friend's house now. I'll give you the address." Jenny told Nate how to get to the house. He assured her that he'd be there.

"Did Nate say how much he would charge?" Eddie said.

"Oops, I forgot to ask him," Jenny said.

"It doesn't matter, does it? I think whatever he charges will be worth it," Jack said.

"How much money do we have in our account, Sally?" Kim said.

"We have twenty six thousand, three hundred thirty five dollars and change," Sally said. "I checked the balance this morning."

Laughing, Brad said, "I don't think Nate will charge us that much. How much fuel do we have?"

"We'll top off the fuel and get a pump out before we head out. We should do that tomorrow," Tom said.

"Let's go get the rods and reels off my boat and stow them," Jack said.

Jack and the rest of the boys left to get the tackle from Jack's boat. When they returned, they put the rod and reel combinations in one of the rod lockers. They went back to the salon to see what the girls were doing.

"We have to go shopping for food. I think we should plan on having three meals and snacks for Wednesday," Molly said. "I'll ask Mom to bake something too."

Trent sat next to Kim listening to the others make plans for the trip. He didn't offer anything, thinking it was better to listen. Kim kept her hand on his leg, moving her fingers against the skin near his knee. Trent's arm rested on Kim's shoulders.

"Do you have anything you want to say, Sweetie?" Kim said to Trent.

"No, I'm just listening and learning. This is so cool," Trent replied. "The more I learn, the more exciting the idea of fishing with you guys is for me. I'm glad you invited me to join the team."

Kim smiled and gave Trent's leg a firm squeeze. He cupped her shoulder with his hand, pulling Kim closer.

"Don't forget to bring a few things to keep on the boat. You never know about the weather so you should have something warm to wear," Kim said.

"We better get going," Eddie said. "We'll be back tomorrow to get the boat ready."

The teens walked to the house and then out to Eddie's van. They all said goodbye as Eddie, Brad, Jenny, and Kathy climbed into the truck.

"I guess I should go too," Trent said.

"You don't have to," Kim said.

"Would you like to go for a ride or something?"

Kim giggled and hugged Trent. "We could stay here and do something if you want to."

"Hey, we're all hungry. Do you and Trent want to go get something to eat?" Tom said.

Kim looked at Trent and smiled. "Oh well, we can do something later. I'm hungry too."

Jack, Sally, Tom, Molly, Kim, and Trent went into the guesthouse to get ready to go. They stopped in the living room so the girls could discuss what they planned to wear. After deciding on their outfits, the couples went to their rooms. Trent stood in the living room until Kim grabbed his hand.

"I don't have anything except what I'm wearing," Trent said.

"You look nice. I'm going to take a shower and then get dressed. Want to take a shower with me?" Kim said.

Trent grinned. He and Kim stripped and went to the bathroom. Kim started the shower and they stepped in. Under the spray, Kim and Trent hugged each other. They began kissing and running their hands over each other's bodies. Kim wiggled against Trent's hard-on and giggled.

"That feels nice," Kim said.

"You better believe it does, Kim." Trent moved his hand to Kim's bottom and pulled her tighter.

Kim and Trent kissed for a few moments and then she moved back. Kim grabbed the shampoo, handed it to Trent, and turned around. He chuckled as he poured shampoo onto Kim's wet hair. Trent used both hands to wash her hair and massage her scalp. He pushed his hard penis against her butt, causing Kim to giggle.

Trent finished shampooing Kim's hair. He moved her under the spray so she could rinse while he began washing her body. Kim turned around and stared into Trent's bright eyes. He stared at her as he rubbed the bar of soap over Kim's chest. Trent moved his hands lower and Kim parted her legs. She held Trent's shoulders while he moved his soapy hand between her legs. They laughed and then Kim kissed him.

"I think my pussy is clean now," Kim said and then she giggled.

Trent nodded, knelt on the floor, and washed her legs. Kim removed the showerhead from the wall and pointed it at her body to rinse away the suds. Trent leaned forward, kissing her mons. She moved the spray away from her body and used her free hand to rub the back of Trent's head. He gripped her thighs, pulling her against his face. Kim let out a moan when Trent extended his tongue and licked her clitoris.

Stepping back, Kim said, "It's my turn to wash you, Sweetie. If you don't stop, I'm not going to want to go eat."

Trent stood up. Kim returned the showerhead to the hook and traded places with Trent. She shampooed his hair and then began washing his body. Kneeling in the shower stall, she gently soaped his penis and testicles. Trent watched as Kim slowly stroked his erection. Kim rinsed his genitals and then took his penis in her mouth. She fondled his testicles and bobbed her head on his penis. Trent put his hands on the sides of Kim's head, gently guiding her.

Kim kept sucking his penis for a few moments. She felt Trent's body quiver and knew he would come if she didn't stop. Glancing up, she looked into his hooded eyes. She increased her motion, coaxing his semen into her mouth. Trent held her head and stared into Kim's eyes as he shot semen into her sucking mouth. She swallowed and stroked his shaft with her tongue. Kim mouthed his softening penis for a few moments before releasing him.

Standing up, Kim grinned at Trent. He threw his arms around her and kissed Kim hard. His tongue pried her lips apart and slid into her mouth. He held Kim against him while kissing her. Kim returned the kiss with the same passion. She moaned into his open mouth and then sucked on his tongue. Kim pulled back and grinned at Trent.

"Did you like that?" Kim said.

"Yes, I loved it!"

"Good, I loved it too. I love sucking your cock, Sweetie."

Trent moved a hand between Kim's legs. He rubbed her and gave her a kiss. Kim parted her legs, holding Trent for support. He wormed his finger into her vagina and began moving it in and out. She humped her hips against his hand and felt her orgasm build.

"Use two fingers," Kim said. Trent inserted two fingers into her vagina. "Mmmm, that's so good. Rub my clit too."

Trent followed Kim's directions. He used his thumb to rub her clitoris while sawing his fingers in and out of her vagina. Kim rocked her hips, pulled Trent's mouth to hers, and kissed him. They flicked their tongues together and then Kim came. Her vagina gripped Trent's fingers and her body jerked. Kim wrapped her arms around him, hugging him to her body. She wiggled and moaned as her climax rippled through her.

Kim moved her hips back, dislodging Trent's fingers. She hugged him, panting, and trying to catch her breath.

"Now you have to wash my pussy again," Kim said. She kissed Trent's cheek and giggled.

Trent nodded. He soaped his hands and started rubbing between Kim's legs. She sighed and then moved away. Kim and Trent grinned at each other as they finished in the shower. They dried themselves and went to Kim's room to dress. Trent put his shorts on while watching Kim pull on a pair of panties. She giggled and wiggled her butt.

Kim picked out a halter style sundress and slipped it over her head. She tied the top, making sure it was snug. Trent finished dressing and then gave her a hug.

"Is everything okay?" Kim said as she nuzzled Trent's neck with her nose.

"Yeah, I guess so."

Kim pulled back to look into Trent's eyes. "What's bothering you?"

Trent shrugged his shoulders. "I'm having trouble with all of this, Kim. You guys are all so confident and sure of yourselves. You talk about things that cost a lot of money as if it's nothing. I feel like an outsider sometimes."

"Baby, that's something you have to learn to deal with. No one can make you feel confident. That's up to you. I learned that when I'm more concerned about the way I feel about myself than I am about how I think other people feel about me, I'm happier. Trent, if you quit worrying about what you think others think, you'll be happier too."

"I'm trying, but it's hard for me. I never met anyone like you guys. None of you are shy about getting naked around each other or other people. You treat sex like it isn't anything special."

Kim grinned knowingly. "Trent, sex is special to me. With you, it's very special, but not anymore special than hugging, kissing, or just being with you. For me, sex is part of our relationship, not the reason for it. I meant it when I said I loved what we did in the shower. It was fun and you made me come like gangbusters.

"Sweetie, don't let sex get in the way of having fun. Sex should be as much fun as anything we do together. If you're worried about pissing me off because you do something, don't. I may ask you to stop, or tell you that I'm not in the mood, but I won't get pissed at you."

"I know you keep telling me that, but I still worry, Baby."

Kim giggled. She put one of his hands on her breast and the other hand on her butt. "Well, don't! Let's go get some food. That blowjob I gave you didn't do anything for my hunger." She gave him a kiss. "It did wonders for other things though!"

Trent massaged Kim's breast and bottom for a few moments. He gazed into her eyes, returning her smile. "It did wonders for me too, Baby!"

Kim and Trent went to the living room. Sally, Tom, and Molly sat on the couch talking. When Kim asked about Jack, Sally told her he went to tell their parents they were going out. Jack came back and they all left for the restaurant in Tom's truck.

Jodie tried on several outfits before deciding on a knee-length dress. She took extra time with her hair and makeup, as she got ready to go to dinner with Andy. Jodie chuckled to herself as she tried to quell the feeling of butterflies in her stomach.

It had been years since she went out with a man other than her husband and she felt extremely anxious. Jodie finished getting ready and went to the kitchen to wait for Andy to arrive.

"You look very nice this evening," Sid said as he sat at the table with Jane.

"Thanks, Dad. I'm going out to dinner with Andy Nester tonight," Jodie said. She sat at the table and glanced between her father and Jane. "You don't think it's too soon, do you?"

"Jodie, it doesn't matter what I, or anyone else, thinks. How do you feel about it?" Sid said.

"I have mixed feelings, Dad. I know it's time for me to move on, but I still feel guilty."

"That's a tough one. Guilt is something that will consume you if you let it, just as jealousy will. I know you still have feelings for Hal, but he's dead. Your feelings are of the memories you have of the things you shared together. You'll never have new memories of Hal, Jodie. It's time to make new memories," Sid said.

"I know you're right, Dad, but that doesn't make it any easier for me. I did ask Trent what he felt. He told me he didn't have a problem with me going out with Andy."

Laughing, Sid said, "My how things have changed. In my day, adults didn't ask their kids if they could go out."

Jane chuckled. "You didn't ask Jodie if you could date me?"

"Hell no!" Sid said and everyone laughed.

A knock at the door interrupted the conversation. Sid got up to answer the door and Jodie got up to make sure she looked okay. Jane chuckled and said, "You look very nice. Why don't you just relax and have a good time tonight?"

"Thanks, Jane."

"Hi, Jodie. Are you ready?" Andy asked when he walked into the kitchen with Sid.

"Yes, I'm as ready as I'm going to be. I'll see you and Jane later," Jodie said as she looked at her dad.

Andy and Jodie left the house. He held the door of his car open and Jodie got in. Andy went to the driver's side, getting in behind the wheel. He started the car and pulled away.

"Are you as nervous as I am?" Andy said after a moment.

Jodie chuckled and said, "I don't know how nervous you are, but I'm very uneasy. It isn't because of you, Andy. It's been a long time since I've done this."

"I know. It's been a while for me too. What would you like to eat? We can go anywhere you'd like."

"You decide. I don't know what's around here."

"Have you ever tried garlic crab?"

"No, is it good?"

"I think so. Would you like to give it a try? I know a great little place not too far from here," Andy said.

"That sounds good to me."

Andy drove to the restaurant. He led Jodie inside, waiting for the host to seat them. In the dining room, Jodie looked around and smiled.

"I know it isn't very fancy, but the food is great," Andy said.

"Why do they have sinks in the dining room?" Jodie said.

"If you get the garlic crab, and I hope you'll try it, you'll discover there's no neat way to eat them. The sinks are so you can wash up."

"After dinner?"

"Yes, and during dinner." Andy chuckled.

The server came to the table. Andy asked Jodie what she wanted to drink. She told him that she would have whatever he was having so Andy ordered two beers. The server brought their drinks and asked for their dinner orders. Andy ordered the garlic crab for both of them.

"I like the tablecloths," Jodie said as she ran her fingertips over the newspaper covering the table.

Andy smiled and nodded. "So, how do you like Florida so far?"

"I like it here. Trent is getting along with the kids and that makes me happy. How long have you lived in Florida?"

"I've lived here my entire life. I was born in Tampa, moved to Fort Lauderdale after college, and never left."

"Do you ever get used to the heat and humidity?"

"What heat and humidity?" Andy said and then he laughed. "This is all I know, Jodie. I guess people get used to it though. A lot of people move here. How do you like working for Sid?"

"It's okay. I don't know much about fishing tackle and the like, but I'm learning. How long have you been working for Shimano?"

"I started working for them when I graduated from college. I thought it would be a stepping-stone, but I'm still with them. Shimano is a good company to work for, but I can't go much further with them. If they didn't pay so well, I'd look for something else."

"Why can't you go further with them?"

"Shimano is a Japanese company and I don't fit their mold for a management position. I like being a regional sales representative, but I'm getting tired of traveling."

"How large is the region you cover?"

"I cover the state of Florida and southern Georgia. I travel every other week," Andy said. "I call on stores like your dad's and man booths at sporting good shows."

The server brought two large bowls of garlic crab, coleslaw and french-fries to the table. She asked if Andy and Jodie needed anything else and Andy ordered two more beers.

"Okay, here's how you eat these. You put a crab on the table, hit it with your hammer, and pick the meat out." Andy demonstrated what he said.

Jodie took one of the crabs out of the bowl. She placed it on the table and smacked it with the wooden hammer. She laughed when the juices spattered her.

"I think I hit it too hard," Jodie said as she laughed. Andy nodded and laughed with her.

After a few tries, Jodie got the hang of breaking and eating the succulent meat. She went through several napkins, trying to keep her hands and forearms clean.

"You're right, Andy. This is delicious."

They ate without talking for a few minutes. Andy watched Jodie, smiling at her whenever she looked up.

"How long have you been divorced? Jodie said.

"Ten years. We met in college and were married. I took the job with Shimano and then she started telling me that she didn't want me to travel. We fought about it for a year and then she decided that she wanted to leave me."

"I'm sorry," Jodie said.

Andy laughed and said, "Thanks, I was sorry for a while, but I realized that it wouldn't have worked for us. She wasn't willing to accept what I did for a living. She wanted to change me and I didn't want to change."

"I don't think anyone can change another person. Not and expect them to be happy. Hal, that's my husband, and I used to talk about everything. We both compromised on things when it was necessary."

"You still miss him, don't you?" Andy said.

"Yes, but I think I'll always miss Hal. That doesn't mean that I shouldn't move on though. Frankly, I've mourned him long enough. I've spent the past two years in a funk and it's time for me to start living again." Jodie blinked a few times and took a bite of her food. "Why doesn't a handsome man like you have a woman in his life?"

Andy laughed. "Well, I haven't found anyone I that interests me until now. It took a couple years to get over my ex wife leaving me. After that, I tried to meet someone, but I found it hard. I don't like the club scene so it wasn't easy to find women to date. The few women I did go out with were very superficial and I didn't hit it off with them."

Andy took a bite of his food, washing it down with a drink of cold beer. He grinned and continued. "I even tried one of those services. That was a complete disaster. I just wanted to go out and have fun, but they wanted husbands and fathers for their kids." Andy saw the expression on Jodie's face change. "The three women I went out with had very young children. I like kids, but at the time, I wasn't looking for a ready-made family."

"I guess I can understand that, Andy. Does the fact that I have Trent bother you?"

"No, that doesn't bother me at all."

Jodie smiled as she continued picking meat from one of the succulent crabs.

"So, that's enough about me. Tell me about you," Andy said.

"There's not much to tell. I started dating Hal in my senior year. We got careless one night and I got pregnant. Hal and I were married and we moved to Iowa. He had a very good job so I didn't have to work, but when Trent turned ten, I found a job. We didn't need the money, but I was bored.

"Four years ago, Hal was diagnosed with cancer. He fought hard, but lost the battle. After two years, I decided to move back to Florida. My dad introduced Trent to the fishing team and they accepted him right away. Now my son is happy again."

Andy nodded. "The fishing team is very unique, isn't it?"

"I don't know too much about them yet. They all seem very nice and I like their parents. I went to school with Laura. She's Molly's mom." Jodie chuckled. "I have to admit that those folks have very different ideas when it comes to raising kids."

"How so?"

"Well, for one thing none of them are concerned with the fact their kids are sexually active. They all take it in stride."

"What can they do? If kids want to mess around, they're going to."

"I know. That's what they told me. That may be true, but it was still hard for me to accept. I've decided to let go and let Trent make his own decisions. What do you think of them?"

"I don't know them very well. Shimano sponsors the fishing team and we're going to advertise on the television show if they get it off the ground. One of the things that impressed me is how polite and well grounded the kids are. To meet them, you'd never know they came from money."

"Do you like to fish?" Jodie said. She pushed her plate away and sat back.

"I love to fish, but I don't get to go very often. It's been a few years since I've gone. Work keeps me busy and most of the guys I used to fish with aren't interested any longer. I've considered selling my boat."

"You have a boat?"

"Yes, but it isn't anything like the Lady Guinevere. My boat is a thirty-six foot center console. Most of my fishing was inshore."

"I've never been fishing. Trent said that the team would take me out one of these days. Maybe you can go too," Jodie said and then she smiled.

Jodie and Andy ordered coffee. They sat at the table, talking and learning about each other. The longer Jodie talked to him, the more she liked Andy. He was equally intrigued with her.

"We should get going. You have to be at the shop early tomorrow morning, don't you?" Andy said.

"Yes, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if I went in late." Jodie reached across the table, placing her hand on Andy's hand. "This has been the nicest evening I've spent in a long time. Thank you for dinner."

"Jodie, it was my pleasure. I hope that you'll let me take you out again," Andy replied. He rolled his hand over and held Jodie's hand.

"I'd like that."

Andy and Jodie traded smiles. He paid the bill and they left the restaurant. Andy held the door for Jodie as she slipped into the seat.

"What time do you have to be at work tomorrow?" Jodie said.

"My schedule is very flexible, Jodie. I don't have any early appointments tomorrow."

"I'd like to take a walk on the beach. I haven't done that in years."

Andy nodded and headed toward the beach. Jodie sat quietly, watching him drive. She thought about her deceased husband and their years together. Closing her eyes, she silently talked to Hal, telling him she was finally ready to fulfill her promise to move on. Even though she didn't know him well, Jodie felt an attraction to Andy. She admitted to herself that the attraction was primarily physical, but she also felt something deeper.

Glancing at Jodie, Andy could tell she was deep in thought. He reached across the seat, placing his hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine." Jodie took Andy's hand in hers and held it.

"Would you like me to take you home?"

Jodie shook her head. Andy gave her hand a firm reassuring squeeze and he smiled at her. A few moments later, Andy parked his car.

Andy opened Jodie's door. She got out and stood near Andy while he locked his car. Taking her hand, he led her to the sandy beach. Jodie stopped so she could remove her sandals.

"I remember coming here when I was younger. My friends and I used to hang around on this beach," Jodie said. "Did you hang around here?"

"No, I grew up near Tampa. My parents and my two older brothers still live up there. Dad owns an insurance agency and my brother's work for him. I have a younger sister too. She's married and lives in Arizona."

"My brother lives in California. He's my only sibling."

"Is Trent your only child?" Andy said.

"Yes. Hal and I wanted more kids, but there were complications with Trent's birth and I'm not able to have any more children."

"I'm sorry."

"There's no need to be sorry. Things happen that we have no control over and we have to learn to live with it. Hal and I talked about adopting, but we decided not to." Jodie took Andy's hand in hers. "So, were you a wild child when you were growing up?"

"No I wasn't. I didn't even date until I went to college. It wasn't that I didn't like girls. I just found other things more important at that age. I hung around with a mixed crowd, but I was never interested in any of the girls for more than friendship."

Jodie giggled. "I was boy crazy from the time I was about fourteen. My girlfriends and I used to do everything we could to get the boys to pay attention to us."

"Were you successful? As good as you look now, you must have been a cute teenager," Andy said.

"I didn't lack for dates once my parents let me go out with boys. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't one of the easy girls. I'd date and make out, but not much more until I was seventeen. Then I met Hal and we started going steady."

Andy and Jodie walked along the edge of the water. A gentle breeze came onshore and the lapping of the waves wet the sand. As they walked along, Andy released Jodie's hand and put his arm around her waist. She did the same to him.

As they walked, Andy tightened his grip on Jodie's side. She snuggled against him, giggling when she stumbled. They stopped for a moment to gaze out at the reflection of the moon on the water.

"Did you ever kiss on the first date?" Andy said. His voice was so low that Jodie almost didn't hear him.

Turning to Andy, Jodie reached up with both hands. She placed her hands on his cheeks, pulled his mouth to hers, and gave him a tender kiss. Andy circled her body with his arms, holding her close.

"I still do," Jodie whispered.

Andy returned her kiss. They continued kissing for several moments before stopping to look into each other's eyes. Jodie smiled, wanting to say something, but she kissed Andy again instead. She parted her lips, stroking his lips with her tongue. Andy opened his mouth and their kiss grew in intensity. The couple hugged each other and moaned into one another's mouths.

Jodie relished the feeling of Andy's body against hers. She realized how much she'd missed the feeling of a man holding and kissing her. Jodie's body responded and she didn't try to suppress it. She ran her hands over Andy's back and pressed tighter against him. Jodie's breasts tingled with excitement as she gently moved her chest against his.

Andy's penis expanded against Jodie's excited body. He moved his hips back, but she followed him. Jodie squirmed against him, feeling his erection against her. She darted her tongue in and out of his mouth as she became even more excited. Andy moved one of his hands to her butt and pulled Jodie closer. She broke the kiss, nuzzled his neck, and moaned as he kneaded her bottom.

"You have no idea how much I've missed this," Jodie said.

"Don't be too sure about that. It's been a long time for me too," Andy replied.

Jodie smiled and nodded. She gave Andy another heated kiss, holding him as tightly as she could. Jodie ran her hand up and down one of his arms, feeling his muscles. She took his wrist and guided his hand to her breast. Andy held her breast for a moment before he flexed his fingers against her firm mound. Jodie moaned into his mouth and leaned into his hand. He cupped her ample breast, gently massaging her. She gasped in pleasure as Andy ran his fingertip against her hard nipple.

A bright light hitting their eyes caused Andy and Jodie to separate. They stood next to each other as the light came closer.

"Is everything okay here?" A woman's voice said.

The light moved out of their eyes so that Andy and Jodie could see the police officer walking toward them.

"Yes, everything is fine," Jodie said.

"You two should get moving. The beach is closed," the officer said.

"Okay, thanks," Andy said.

Taking Jodie's hand, Andy led her toward the street. They laughed and bumped their hips together as they walked. At the car, Andy opened the door for Julie. She continued laughing as she got in.

"That's never happened to me before," Andy said as he pulled away.

"It happened to me, but not in many years."

Andy nodded. He glanced at Jodie, returning her smile. "Would you like to go out tomorrow?"

"Yes, Andy, I'd like that. What do you have in mind?" Jodie said.

"I could make dinner at my house. I'm a pretty good cook." Andy looked at Jodie for her reaction. "Or we could go to a restaurant if you'd be more comfortable."

Grinning, Jodie said, "What are you going to make?"

"I don't know. What do you like?"

"I like almost anything. Why don't you surprise me?"

"Okay. If you'd like, you can bring your suit. I have a pool," Andy said.

"That sounds good to me. What time are you going to pick me up?"

"What time can you get away?" Andy replied with a chuckle.

"Anytime you're ready."

Andy pulled into the driveway at Jodie's house. The moment Jodie got out of the car Andy took her in his arms. She hugged him and they kissed. Andy and Jodie stood outside for a half hour. They kissed, hugged, and talked. Finally, Andy led her to the door.

"Goodnight, Jodie. Thanks for going out with me tonight. I had a wonderful time," Andy said.

"Thank you for dinner and everything else. I'll see you tomorrow," Jodie said.

Andy took Jodie in his arms and kissed her goodnight. She held him close, not wanting the night to end. He released her and opened the screen door. Andy knew that even though he didn't want to go, he should leave. Jodie unlocked the door, gave Andy another kiss, and went inside.

Chapter 53


Marge and Anne sat at the kitchen table drinking coffee. They waited for their husbands to finish showering so they could talk to them about going shopping. Don and Marc joined their wives at the table.

"We'd like you two to take us shopping this morning," Marge said.

"Where are we going?" Marc replied.

"Marge and I want to go to West Palm and get a few things for our trip," Anne said.

"Okay. Do you want to have breakfast first or eat at a restaurant?" Don said.

"Let's stop on the way," Marge said.

The two couples finished their coffee. They told Laura that they were going shopping and left. In the car, Marge and Anne chatted about the upcoming trip to North Carolina.

"How long will the trip take?" Anne said.

"According to Jeri, it's about six hundred miles from home to Jacksonville, North Carolina. She said it would take three days to make the trip. Jeri wants to leave on Tuesday so we have an extra day," Don said.

"I hope everyone can get the time off," Marge said.

"So do I, but if we need to, we can fly anyone that can't get the time off up to North Carolina," Don said.

Don stopped at a restaurant for breakfast. The two couples sat in a booth, enjoying their food. They left the restaurant and drove to the shopping district.

"We want to stop and see Ellen first," Marge said. She glanced at Anne and winked.

Don and Marc followed their wives into the shop. They all said hi to Ellen and then the two women started looking at the lingerie. Marge and Anne selected several matching bra and panty outfits and headed for the dressing rooms. Don and Marc stood outside, waiting.

"Come in and tell us what you think," Anne said.

Don and Marc opened the door to the dressing area. They whistled at the two women as they modeled the sexy lingerie.

"Now how do you two expect Don and me to keep our hands off you two?" Marc said.

Giggling, Marge said, "Who said we want you to keep your hands off us?"

Anne and Marge went into one of the dressing rooms. They changed into another outfit while Don and Marc watched. Once again, the two women paraded around in the skimpy underwear. Anne leaned over, wiggling her butt at her brother and husband. Laughing, Marge did the same thing.

"Are you two having fun?" Ellen said when she came into the room.

"You bet we are!" Don said. "Are you here to join these two?"

"As much as I'd like to, I have to wait on my customers." Ellen held up several hangers. "We just took on this line of micro bikinis. I thought we could get them for the trip."

Marge and Anne looked at the wisps of material and nodded. "We should get one of these for all the women," Anne said.

"That's what I was thinking. I ordered each of us a white one and a black one," Ellen said. "Try them on and see what you think."

Ellen gave Marge and Anne bikinis. She left to tend to her customers while the two women changed into the tiny suits. Don and Marc nodded approvingly when they modeled the bikinis.

"Damn, those things don't leave much to the imagination, do they?" Don said.

"Will you buy them for us?" Anne said.

"That's a silly question and you know it," Don replied.

Chuckling, Anne glanced at Marge. She sauntered over to her brother and kissed Don's cheek. Anne began rubbing Don's crotch as she leaned close to him. Marge moved over to Marc and started fondling him too.

"If I promise to give you a blowjob will you buy the shop for Marge and me?" Anne said to Don.

"What are you talking about," Don said. He glanced at Marc and smiled.

"Anne and I want you to buy this shop for us. You two have your projects and we want something to do," Marge said. She smiled at her brother and gave his penis a firm squeeze.

"We want to do this if you'll let us," Anne said.

"We can talk about this later," Don said. He gave his sister's bottom a smack and laughed.

Anne and Marge went to change. Don and Marc left the dressing room and walked around the shop. The two women came out of the dressing area with the items they wanted to buy. After placing the things on the counter, Marge and Anne continued shopping.

"Are you finding everything you want?" a women asked Marge and Anne.

"Yes, thank you. We're friends of Ellen," Marge said.

"I know, she told me. I'm Lucy; I work here with Ellen."

"It's nice to meet you, Lucy," Anne said. "How long have you worked here?"

"I've been here for ten years. Most of the women that work here have been here a long time. When I started, we only sold lingerie, but we've expanded our lines."

Ellen finished waiting on a woman and walked over to the other women. "The things I ordered for Trent came in this morning. Do you want to take them with you or do you want me to drop them off later?"

Don heard Ellen. He moved close and said, "Why don't you and Harry come over this evening? You can bring them with you then."

"Okay, I'll call Harry and let him know. What time?"

"Let's plan on dinner," Marge said.

"Harry and I will come over after dinner. I have to close tonight and my hubby is making dinner for me," Ellen said.

"Okay, we'll see you then," Anne said.

Lucy went to help a customer. Anne took her husband's hand and led him into the small room in the back corner of the store. She showed Marc the displays of adult toys and giggled. "See anything you like?"

"I didn't know they carried things like this," Marc said.

"Ellen said they have a few customers that buy these things. I guess there aren't many places selling adult toys in this area."

Marc laughed and said, "I think you have enough toys for now."

"I do. I just wanted to show you this area of the shop," Anne said.

Marc and Anne went out to find Don and Marge. Don stood in the center of the display area, looking around. Anne and Marge selected a few more items and then paid for the things they wanted. After telling Ellen they'd see her later, they left the shop. Don locked the bags in the trunk of the car and told everyone he wanted to walk around.

The two couples walked down the street looking at the other shops. Don and Marc went into a men's store to pick up a few things before they continued. They walked to a coffee shop and went inside.

"Let's sit outside," Don said after getting coffees for everyone.

They sat at one of the small tables in front of the coffee shop and watched the people walking by.

"What do you two have in mind for the shop? Do you just want to own it or are you planning to work there too?" Don said.

"Anne and I thought that we'd work," Marge said.

"We think it would be nice to have something to do while you two are jetting back and forth between here and Michigan. With the kids going back to school and their fishing, Marge and I don't have much to do," Anne said.

"Anne and I want to have Ellen as a partner just like we have Bob and Dianne as partners with the golf course."

"Marc and I will talk to Joel. If we can work out a good deal, I think we can do this," Don said.

Marge and Anne grinned. Little did they know that their husbands had already started looking into the shop. They asked Joel to check things out when they heard Ellen say that the shop was going on the market. Don instructed Joel to send the current owner a letter of intent so she would show Joel the books. Joel told Don and Marc that based on his cursory examination the shop was profitable. He informed the two men that he would have an accountant do a comprehensive audit. Both of the men agreed to have a little fun before they told their wives.

"You know this will cost you two, don't you?" Marc said.

Giggling, Marge and Anne nodded. "You know we'll be happy to pay the price," Marge said.

"We haven't told you what it will cost yet," Don said.

"We know, but we figure it will involve sex," Anne said with a chuckle.

Don and Marc laughed. "You two are much too willing," Marc said.

"Is that a problem?" Marge said.

"Hell no!" Don said.

They finished their coffee started walking again. Don glanced across the street at the lingerie shop as they passed it. He noticed the stores next to the shop and wondered if either of them would be available for expansion in the future.

"Are you two ready to go or is there something else you want to look for?" Don said.

"We're ready," Marge said.

Don put his and Marc's things in the trunk. Everyone got into the car and headed for home.

-------

Jodie sat at the table in the back of the tackle shop with Sid and Jane. She grinned as she thought about her evening with Andy.

"What's got you so goofy looking this morning?" Sid said.

"I was just thinking about my date with Andy. We had a great time last night," Jodie said. "He took me to a neat little restaurant for garlic crab."

"If he took you to the place I think he did, you must have had a good meal," Jane said. "Sid and I love the Rustic."

"That's where we went. Tonight, Andy is making dinner for us at his house."

Sid smiled at his daughter. "I guess you like him then."

"Andy is very nice dad. We had a nice time getting to know each other last night. After we ate, we went for a walk on the beach."

"Sounds romantic," Jane said.

"It was very romantic. It's been a long time since I've done anything like that."

The buzzer sounded and Sid got up. He went out to take care of the customer that came in. While he was gone, Jodie stared into her coffee cup.

"Jane, do you think it's wrong that I don't feel guilty for going out with Andy?"

"No, I don't think it's wrong at all. I know that losing your husband must have been hard, but you can't dwell on it forever. It isn't good for you or Trent. Your son is very concerned about you, Jodie. He's talked to your father about it several times."

"What did Trent say?"

"I don't know. Sid didn't tell me what Trent said to him."

"I guess I should talk to him and let him know I'm fine."

"Hun, if he sees you looking as happy as you look right now, he'll know. Trent isn't blind."

"It shows?"

"If I were to guess, I'd say you and Andy had a very good time," Jane said and then she chuckled.

Jodie blushed. "We didn't do what you're thinking."

"Why not?" Jane said bluntly.

"I've only known him a few days and last night was our first date."

"So what? Look, I'm not suggesting you marry the man, but having a little fun is okay. You'll soon find out that when we get older, we don't have to go through the whole courting process."

"What would he think if I slept with him after just meeting him?" Jodie said.

Laughing, Jane said, "I guess that all depends on how good it was."

"You sound like my new friends. Is there something in the water down here?"

"Maybe your new friends are right, Jodie. Look, you're responsible for your happiness. No one can make you happy if you want to be a grump."

"I know I'm responsible for my happiness, Jane. I worry about how Trent will feel about it though. It hasn't been that long since Hal passed away."

"It's been long enough, Jodie. You have to decide if you want to have fun with life or mope around. I wouldn't be too concerned about what anyone thinks, including Trent. He has his own agenda now and her name is Kim."

Jodie chuckled and nodded her head. "Yes, I do believe you're right about that. That boy is head over heels for that girl."

"From what I can see, Trent is moving on with his life. He's very interested in fishing as well as his new friends."

"That's about all he talks about, isn't it?" Jodie said.

Jane smiled and nodded. Sid came back into the backroom with Andy right behind him.

"Hi, Andy. I didn't know you planned to stop by today," Jodie said.

"I didn't, but I was in the area so I decided to stop by and say hi."

"I'm glad you did. Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Sure, but I can get it."

"Sit down and I'll get it for you." Jodie got up and went to the coffee pot to pour a cup for Andy.

"Thanks," Andy said taking the mug from Jodie. "I enjoyed myself last night."

"So did I. Have you decided what you're making me for dinner tonight?"

"Yes, but I'm not telling you."

Sid chuckled. "You two sound like love-struck teenagers!"

Jodie blushed and Andy laughed. She sat next to him, scooting her chair closer. "What are you doing for the rest of the day?" Jodie said.

"I have to run down to Miami and call on a few of my customers. After that, I have to start preparing dinner."

"I can drive to your house if it would be easier for you," Jodie said.

"It doesn't matter either way. I'd be happy to pick you up if you want me too."

The buzzer went off again. This time Jane went out to the shop with Sid. Jodie looked into Andy's eyes and grinned. She shocked him when she gave him a kiss.

"Have you found out if you can ride to North Carolina on the yacht?" Jodie said.

"I changed a few things so I could go. I have to work in a booth with the regional rep at the tournament, but I'll have time for us."

"What do you show in the booth?"

"We display our new rods and reels." Andy chuckled. "What did you think we showed?"

"I know, I guess I'm trying to make conversation," Jodie said.

"Don't feel you have to. I'm perfectly happy just sitting here looking at you."

"Will you tell me about your products so I can help my dad around here? I don't know much about rods and reels."

"Sure, I'll teach you all about the Shimano product line. That way you can sell more for me," Andy said with a smile.

Sid and Jane came back in to the back room. The four of them chatted for a little while and then Andy said he had to leave. Jodie walked him out to his car and gave him a hug.

"This is nice," Jodie said as she looked into the front seat of Andy's Suburban.

"Yeah, I use this for work so I can carry the things I show my customers."

Andy held the steering wheel and looked up at Jodie. She grinned, leaned over, and gave him a kiss. Andy kissed her back.

"Why don't you tell me how to get to your house and I'll come over when you're ready," Jodie said.

Andy nodded. He took out a pad of paper and wrote the directions to his house. Jodie watched him draw a map.

"What time should I come over?" Jodie said. She folded the paper and put it in the pocket of her shorts.

"I'll call you when I get back from Miami."

"Okay, I'll be here." Jodie gave Andy another kiss before closing his door.

Jodie waved as Andy pulled away. She walked back into the tackle shop, humming to herself.

For the remainder of the morning, Jodie helped customers, but her thoughts were elsewhere. She thought about the things Jane said earlier and decided that maybe she was right. If Andy wanted to take the relationship further, she was more than willing.

At lunch, Trent came to the shop to eat with his mom, Sid, and Jane. He talked nonstop about fishing for tuna the next day.

"Trent, can I talk to you for a few minutes," Jodie said after she and the others finished eating.

"What's up, Mom?"

"I wanted to let you know that I'm going out with Andy again tonight," Jodie said.

"That's cool. I'm staying on the boat tonight."

Jodie chuckled. "Yes, I remember that you're staying on the boat tonight. So, you're not upset with me for dating Andy then."

"Heck no, why would I be? I told you that I thought it was cool when you told me last time. I probably won't be back until late tomorrow."

"I figured as much. You kids be careful and have a good time," Jodie said.

Trent and Jodie went back into the shop. She felt relieved that Trent accepted her dating Andy.

"I'm going to head over to Kim's house. We're changing the oil on the boat today," Trent said.

"Okay, Trent. You remember what I said about being careful," Jodie said.

"I will, Mom. I'm taking a few things to keep on the boat. I'll see you tomorrow night," Trent said.

Jodie gave her son a hug. He left the shop and drove to Kim's house.

"Jodie, Andy's on the phone," Jane said.

"Thanks," Jodie said as she took the receiver from Jane.

"Hey there, did you finish your stops?" Jodie said.

"Yes I did. I'm heading home and I should be there in an hour," Andy replied.

"Okay, I'll see you in an hour or so then."

Andy and Jodie chatted for a moment. She hung up and went to tell her dad and Jane she was leaving so she could get ready.

"Take an overnight bag with you. Who knows, you may end up spending the night," Jane said.

Jodie grinned and nodded. She knew that saying anything contrary to what Jane told her would be fruitless.

At home, Jane took a shower. She shaved her legs and then she shaved her vulva. Giggling as she thought about the other women when she went skinny dipping, she trimmed her moms into a neat triangle.

Jodie took extra care fixing her hair and applying her makeup. She thought about what Jane said and put together a small bag with clean underwear and a change of clothes. She packed her two-piece bathing suit and a few toiletries. As it came closer to the time she would leave, Jodie felt nervous.

Sitting in the living room and watching the clock, Jodie thought about what lay ahead. She didn't know if Andy was interested in more than a close friendship, but she hoped he was. If the kisses and caresses they shared on the beach were an indication, she was sure that he wanted the same things she did. Jodie felt starved for a man's affection and hoped that Andy would fill her needs.

Jodie got up, grabbed her bag, and left the house. Her nervousness increased as she drove toward Andy's house. Following the map, she found his street. Jodie drove very slowly and looked for the address.

Pulling into Andy's driveway, Jodie took a deep breath. She got out of the car, grabbed her bag, and walked to the porch. Andy opened the front door a moment after she rang the bell.

"Hi, there!" Andy said holding the door open for Jodie. "Come in."

Jodie walked past Andy and gazed around the living room. Andy came up behind her, put his arm around her waist, and turned Jodie to face him.

"I wasn't sure you'd come," Andy said. He gave her a quick kiss. "I'm very happy you did."

"Why did you think that I wouldn't come?"

"I don't know. I'm just nervous I guess."

Chuckling, Jodie said, "You too?"

"Put your bag down and I'll show you around."

Jodie put her bag on the floor. She followed Andy through the house, listening to him talk about each room. When he showed her the master bedroom, he shuffled his feet nervously.

"You have a nice house, Andy."

"Thanks. You're one of the few visitors I've had here."

"Have you lived here long?"

"I bought the house eight years ago. Would you like something to drink?"

Jodie nodded. She and Andy went to the kitchen and he asked what she'd like.

"I'll have whatever you're having," Jodie said.

Andy opened the refrigerator and took out two bottles of beer. He held them up, smiling when Jodie nodded.

"Come with me. I'll show you the yard," Andy said.

Jodie and Andy went outside. She looked at the pool and then noticed that a tall wooden fence enclosed the backyard. Taking her hand, Andy led Jodie to the seawall.

"This is my boat. Would you like to see her?" Andy said.

"Sure, but how do you get on it?"

Chuckling, Andy pushed a button that lowered the boat to the water. He stopped the lift when the gunwale was level with the seawall. Stepping on board, Andy offered Jodie his hand.

"Well, what do you think?" Andy said.

"It's nice, Andy. I don't know much about boats."

"This boat is designed for fishing. She's wide open so you can move around the deck."

"What do you do if you have to go to the bathroom?" Jodie said as she snickered.

"I just stand close to the side of the boat," Andy replied and he too chuckled. "Let me show you the cutty cabin."

Andy took Jodie to the front of the center console. He opened a hatch and showed her the steps leading below. Jodie moved past Andy and went down the steps. He followed her and began showing her the small galley, the bunk, and the head.

"It isn't designed for a long trip, but this is good for getting out of the weather."

"I think it's cute. Do you get out much?"

"No, as I said last night, I don't get out often."

"Will you take me out one of these days? You can teach me how to fish," Jodie said.

"Sure, we can go out."

Jodie and Andy went up to the deck. He told her about the twin outboard motors and showed her the rod lockers. Jodie listened, hearing the excitement in Andy's voice.

They left the boat and Andy raised it again. He took Jodie's hand again, holding it as they walked back to the patio. They sat at the table, enjoying the hot afternoon.

"Are you going to tell me what you're making for dinner now?" Jodie said.

"I'm doing pork tenderloin on the grill. Are you hungry?"

"Not right now."

"Would you like to change into your suit and go for a swim?" Andy said.

"Sure, that would be nice."

Jodie grabbed her bag and followed Andy to the master bedroom. He told her she could change in there and that he'd change when she finished. Andy closed the door and waited in the hallway. Jodie stripped and put on her suit. As she adjusted it, she wished she owned something a little sexier.

Andy smiled when Jodie came out of the bedroom. She blushed, and said, "I forgot my cover up."

Chuckling, Andy said, "I'm glad you did. I'll be out in a minute."

Jodie went to the kitchen to wait for Andy. She noticed that like the rest of the house and the boat, the kitchen looked spotless.

Andy came into the kitchen wearing a pair of trunks. He and Jodie went outside and sat in the sun for a few minutes. They sipped their cold beers and talked. Andy told Jodie that the friend he used to fish with moved away a year ago and that he didn't like fishing alone.

Jodie got up and walked to the edge of the pool. She turned to look at Andy, smiled, and jumped into the water. Andy watched her for a moment before he jumped in with her.

Andy swam over to Jodie. He stood in front of her for a moment and then put his arms around her. She circled his neck with her arms and met his kiss. They held each other as they pressed their mouths together. Andy leaned his head back so he could gaze into Jodie's eyes. They shared smiles and then moved apart. Andy and Jodie swam and relaxed in the pool for a little while and then climbed out. He handed her a towel and grabbed one for himself.

Jodie placed her towel on a chair and sat down. She watched Andy drying himself, smiling at him when he looked at her. He went into the house and returned with two beers.

"That was refreshing," Jodie said.

"I try to swim every morning that I'm in town to keep in shape."

"It's working," Jodie said.

Andy chuckled. "Should I start dinner?"

"Sure, I'm getting hungry."

Andy started the grill and went into the house. Jodie sat in the sun, smiling as she thought about Andy's strong arms around her while they were in the pool. Jane's comments came to her and Jodie chuckled to herself.

Jodie watched Andy place the meat on the grill. She got up and went over to watch him cook.

"That looks good," Jodie said.

"I hope it turns out. I season the tenderloin with fresh garlic, pepper, and a little curry."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"You can set the table. If you'd like, we can eat on the patio. The dishes are on the counter," Andy said.

Jodie went to find the dishes. She set the table, placing the settings so she would sit next to Andy instead of across from him.

"I think I found everything," Jodie said as she stood next to Andy. She put her arm around his waist and moved closer.

Andy put his arm around Jodie, letting his hand rest on her hip. With his other hand, he used tongs to flip the meat. They stood side by side, with their sides touching. He seared the meat and closed the hood.

"I have to finish the salad and heat the vegetables," Andy said. "The meat takes about twenty minutes."

Jodie turned to face Andy. She leaned against his chest, sighing as he hugged her to him. They kissed each other, moved apart, and went into the house. Jodie sat at the counter watching Andy mix the fresh greens for the salad. He put a pot of water on the stove and placed three ears of sweet corn in the water.

"It's nice to be able to cook for more than myself," Andy said. He stood across the counter from Jodie.

"One of these days I'll cook for you," Jodie said. She smiled as she wished it would be breakfast.

Andy asked Jodie about Iowa. She told him about the harsh winters and snowstorms she'd endured over the years. Jodie also told him that she wasn't going to miss the cold weather.

"Trent's car is very nice," Andy said.

"That boy spent almost every spare minute working on his car. He and his father worked on it almost every day. When Hal got sick, I thought the project would end, but Trent finished it."

"He appears to be a good kid."

"There were a couple of years that he messed up. After his father died, Trent started acting out. He hung around with the wrong group and started smoking. I became so worried that I asked my dad if I could move back to Florida."

"Is he still smoking?"

Jodie laughed. "No. He found out that Kim and the other kids didn't like smoking and he quit."

"It's funny how a girl can make a boy change."

"I think that goes both ways, Andy. When two people like one another, they will make some changes. The hard part is not losing your own identity." Jodie ran her fingers through her damp auburn hair.

"That was the big problem between my ex wife and me. I was willing to compromise, but she wanted to make me something I wasn't. She was into the club scene and wanted to go every weekend. I'm more of a homebody. I like going out, but not as much as she did. We ended our marriage when she started using sex to get what she wanted."

Andy walked toward the sliding door-wall. "I have to turn the meat."

Jodie went outside with Andy. She sat on a lounge, picked up her beer, and took a drink from the bottle. As she watched Andy, she thought her marriage. Hal was a wonderful, caring husband and a great father, but lacked passion when it came to sex. While they did make love, it was always the same.

"We're ready to eat," Andy said. He removed the pork tenderloin from the grill, placing it on a platter.

Jodie went inside to get the salad. Andy carved the meat into thick slices and then took the corn from the pot. They sat at the patio table, enjoying their meal. Jodie complemented Andy several times.

"I can't eat another bite. That was great," Jodie said.

"You relax for a few minutes. I'm going to take care of the dishes."

Jodie got up to help Andy. They carried the dirty dishes and leftover food into the kitchen. She rinsed the dishes while Andy put the leftovers into containers.

"Would you like a cup of coffee and an after dinner drink?" Andy said.

"I will if you're having one."

Andy ground the coffee and started the coffee maker. He took a bottle of cognac from a cabinet and showed it to Jodie. She shrugged her shoulders, telling him she'd never tried it before.

Andy poured the brandy into two snifters. He waited for the coffee maker to finish and then filled two mugs. Picking up the mugs, Andy walked to the living room. Jodie picked up their drinks and followed him. He turned on his stereo and then sat next to Jodie on the leather couch.

Jodie watched Andy swirl his brandy in the odd shaped glass. He inhaled the fragrance and then took a sip. Jodie sniffed the liquor and tasted it.

"Mmmm, this is good," Jodie said. "It makes me feel warm inside."

"I enjoy a cognac once in a while. It seems to be the perfect finish for a nice dinner." Andy hoisted his glass toward Jodie. She smiled and tapped her glass against his. "Here's to friendship," Andy said.

Jodie nodded and took another sip. In her mind, she wondered if friendship was all that Andy wanted. That thought faded when Andy took her brandy and placed it on the coffee table. He took her in his arms and kissed her.

Andy and Jodie held their kiss for several moments. She squirmed against him, trying to get closer. Andy broke the kiss, slipped his arm under her legs, and placed Jodie on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him again.

Jodie moaned into Andy's mouth as he stroked her sensitive flesh with his strong hands. She felt his penis against her thigh and knew he was as excited as she was. One of his hands moved up her side and then covered her breast. Jodie sucked Andy's tongue and pressed her chest into his hand. A moment later, he eased the strap of her bathing suit down her arm. Jodie waited impatiently for the feeling of his hand on her bare breast.

Andy peeled the cup of Jodie's top off her breast. He ran his fingers over her, causing her to quiver. Andy toyed with her nipple and Jodie moaned. It had been too long since a man touched her and she needed to feel the closeness she'd missed.

Breaking their kiss, Jodie twisted to look into Andy's eyes. She reached behind her back, unhooking her top. Andy pulled the top away and down her arms. He gazed at her naked breasts for a moment and then began touching her again. Jodie placed her hands on the sides of his face, leaned close, and began kissing him.

Andy and Jodie took a break to catch their breath. He held her close and reached for their drinks. After handing Jodie her snifter, he picked his up. They sipped their drinks and then drank their coffee. Jodie remained on Andy's lap, snuggling against his bare chest.

"You're beautiful," Andy said.

"I can't tell you how it makes me feel to hear that, Andy. Am I too heavy? I can move if you're uncomfortable."

"You're not heavy at all, Jodie. I like having you close to me."

Jodie gave Andy a quick kiss. He looked into her eyes and ran his fingertips over her chest. Jodie let out a muffled gasp as his fingertips brushed against her nipples. Andy moved his hand from one breast to the other, gently exploring her mounds. He covered her right breast with his hand and began kneading it.

"They're not very big, are they?" Jodie said.

"Your breasts are perfect."

"I'll bet you say that to all the half naked girls that sit on your lap," Jodie said with a chuckle.

"I can't remember the last time I had a half naked girl on my lap. I know I've never had a girl as beautiful as you on my lap."

"You say the sweetest things, even if they're not true."

"I'm telling the truth. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever been with, Jodie. You have the greenest eyes and the nicest smile I've ever seen." Andy smiled and squeezed her breast. "Not to mention a great rack!"

Jodie giggled. "What is it with men and boobs?"

"We like looking at them, touching them, and kissing them." Andy bent his head and kissed one of Jodie's breasts. "I like who these boobs are attached to."

"Well you can look, touch, and kiss them as much as you'd like to."

Andy and Jodie chuckled. He slipped his arm under her legs and picked her up. Jodie held Andy's neck as he stood up and walked toward the bedroom. She peppered his cheek with kisses and gripped his neck. In the bedroom, Andy placed Jodie on the bed. He stretched out next to her and began kissing her lips. Their mouths opened and their tongues intertwined as the kissing intensified.

Jodie moaned into Andy's mouth as his hand roamed over her chest. He kissed her neck and then down to one of her breasts. Jodie held his head to her breast and ran her fingers through his short brown hair. He suckled her nipples, moving back and forth between her breasts.

Andy ran his hand over Jodie's stomach. He moved his fingertips along her suit, causing her to suck in her stomach. Flattening his hand against her soft belly, Andy slipped his hand into her suit. Jodie moaned and lifted her bottom off the bed as his fingers stroked the tuft of hair on her mons.

Shifting his body, Andy straddled Jodie's legs. He kissed between her breasts and gripped her suit bottom with both hands. Andy tugged on the suit and Jodie lifted her butt so he could remove it. Leaning back, Andy worked the suit over her hips and down her legs. He gazed at Jodie's junction and then looked up into her hooded eyes. Once the suit came off her feet, Andy leaned forward and kissed her navel.

Jodie squirmed as Andy moved his tongue in the indentation of her belly. He moved his knees between her legs, opening her. Jodie lifted her head and stared down at the top of Andy's head. He kissed lower, nuzzling her pubic hair with his nose.

Andy ran his hands down the tops of Jodie's thighs. He slipped his hands under her legs beneath her knees and gently stroked her. Jodie watched in awe as Andy lowered his head between her splayed legs. His tongue touched her vulva and she gasped.

"Oh my God! What are you doing?" Jodie said in a throaty voice.

Andy glanced up as he stroked her with his tongue. He pushed her legs open and her knees toward her head. Jodie squealed as Andy probed her with his tongue. Andy found her clitoris and flicked his tongue against the rigid nub. Jodie's head flopped from side to side and gripped her breasts as she experienced her first oral orgasm. She thrashed beneath Andy and rocked her hips. Jodie's body stiffened and she clamped Andy's head between her thighs.

Keeping his head between her legs and his tongue moving, Andy brought Jodie to several orgasms. She reached down and grabbed at his head, trying to press him tighter to her crotch. Andy used one hand to lower his trunks and then kicked them off. He kissed his way up Jodie's quivering body and pressed his penis against her hot labia. Jodie opened her eyes, looked into Andy's eyes, and pulled his head to hers.

Jodie kissed Andy as hard as she'd ever kissed anyone in her life. He slid his penis into her vagina, causing Jodie to gasp into his open mouth. Rocking his hips, Andy worked his member into Jodie. She spread her legs as far as she could to accommodate him.

Andy began moving slowly. He pushed his penis into Jodie, paused, and pulled back. She broke their hot kiss and raked his back with her fingertips. Jodie wiggled against Andy's slow thrusts as the second penis she'd experienced filled and stretched her.

"Oh yeah, that's it, fuck me!" Jodie chanted. She hooked her legs over Andy's calves and humped against his steady thrusting.

Andy didn't disappoint Jodie. He intensified his movements, driving into her. His body slapped against hers as they rutted with complete abandon. He used every trick he knew to prolong his climax. Jodie didn't. She groaned as her first climax from intercourse rumbled through her body. Her vagina gripped Andy's thrusting member and she howled incoherently. Andy pushed into her, ground his pubic bone against hers, and repeated the move. Jodie lifted her head from the pillow and screamed. Her legs shot straight out and her toes curled as her orgasm overcame her.

Jodie's body writhed beneath Andy. Unable to last a moment longer, he thrust into her and came. His penis swelled as it spewed semen into Jodie's convulsing vagina. He lowered his head, groaning into the crook of her neck. After several very strong surges, his penis stopped pulsing. He lowered his body onto Jodie's and gasped for breath. She let her arms flop next to her and her legs dropped to the bed.

It took several minutes for Andy and Jodie to regain their composure. She lifted her heavy arms, held Andy's head, and kissed him. He responded, drilling his tongue into her mouth. They tangled their arms and legs in a sated lover's embrace.

"Are you okay?" Andy whispered in Jodie's ear.

"I think so. That was more intense than it's ever been, Baby."

Lifting his head, Andy looked down at Jodie. He brushed a few strands of her wet hair from her forehead and kissed her nose. "It was good for me too, Sweetie," Andy said.

Jodie and Andy snuggled together for a few minutes. Their breathing returned to normal and they began kissing again. Using their hands and mouths, they caressed each other.

"I'm all sweaty," Jodie said.

"We could take a shower or jump into the pool," Andy said.

"Hmmm, take me wherever you want to."

Andy climbed over Jodie. He picked her up and carried her through the house and into the backyard. She held him as he jumped into the pool. When they surfaced, they kissed.

Jodie moved into the shallow water so she could stand up. Andy came over to her, wrapping his arms around her. They shared several quick kisses and then Jodie rested her head against his chest.

"I hope I didn't disappoint you," Andy said. "It's been a very long time since I made love to a beautiful woman."

"You're kidding, aren't you? That was the best sex I've ever had in my life. My husband didn't think that oral sex was something he wanted to do so he never tried it. That was the first time anyone has done that to me." Jodie giggled and moved her hand down to Andy's crotch. "He didn't have your staying power either. You might not believe me, but that was the first time I came from fucking."

Jodie gasped and clamped her hand over her mouth. "Excuse my dirty mouth."

Andy laughed and gave Jodie a hug. "Don't worry about it. That doesn't bother me in the least. You can say anything you want to, Sweetie."

Jodie and Andy climbed out of the pool. They grabbed towels and dried themselves before sitting together on a reclining lounge chair. Jodie rolled onto her side and began fondling Andy's penis. She watched it grow in length and girth as she slowly stroked him.

"So this is what you tried to split me in two with," Jodie said. She scooted down, resting her head on Andy's stomach. "I wonder if giving head is like riding a bicycle. You know, you never forget how."

Andy grinned as he thought about Jodie's reference to fucking. He ran his fingers through her damp hair and said, "Why don't you suck my cock and we'll find out?"

Jodie moved lower. She opened her mouth, taking Andy's glans between her lips. Using her tongue, she rubbed his velvety crown and moaned. Removing her mouth, she looked up at Andy. "It tastes like chlorine."

"Let's go take a shower and fix that," Andy said.

Andy and Jodie went to his bathroom. They took turns washing each other, taking time to share kisses. After drying themselves, they went to his bed. Andy stretched out on his back and Jodie knelt between his legs. She fondled his penis for a moment before bending over and engulfing it. She felt his penis swell in her mouth as she swirled her tongue around his shaft and glans.

"Mmmm, that's better," Jodie said. She licked the length of his shaft and took him into her mouth again.

Jodie bobbed her head and sucked firmly on Andy's member. He propped himself up so he could watch her. Their eyes met and Andy smiled. Jodie cradled his testicles in the palm of her hand, gently massaging them. She moaned around his penis, sending vibrations through his body.

"Do you like this?" Jodie asked as she rubbed Andy's wet penis against her cheek. She wrapped her hand around his shaft and pumped it up and down.

"You're unbelievable, Baby!"

"I guess I still remember how to do it then?"

"Oh yeah!"

Jodie giggled and returned Alex's penis to her mouth. She increased her suction and moved her head up and down. He began moving his hips, meeting her bobbing head. Jodie removed her hand, opened her mouth, and lowered her head. She paused when his glans hit the back of her throat. Jodie gagged a bit, but she swallowed and relaxed. Looking into Andy's eyes, she pushed her head down until his penis entered her throat. She managed to control her gagging and rubbed her nose against his pubic hair. Andy let out a groan and reached for her head.

Pulling her head up, Jodie started bobbing up and down again. She took Andy into her throat a few times, but concentrated on the upper half of his member. He gripped her hair and moved his hips.

"I'm going to come, Jodie," Andy groaned.

Jodie increased her motion and began stroking his penis with her hand. Andy warned her once again, but she didn't remove her mouth. She felt his penis swell and then she felt his hot semen splatter the inside of her mouth. Jodie sucked and swallowed as Andy's penis sent several spurts of semen into her mouth.

Andy fell back on the bed and sucked in a deep breath. Jodie nursed his softening penis, gently stroking it with her tongue. She took all of it into her mouth and then pulled back. Holding his member, she kissed and laved his testicles. Jodie looked up at the sated expression on Andy's face. She smiled, kissed his penis again, and moved up next to him.

Slipping his arm under Jodie, Andy pulled her close. He turned his head, smiled, and gave her a kiss. She kept her lips sealed until Andy pried them open with his tongue. He held the back of her head, pressing their mouths together.

"Wow, that was amazing," Andy said.

Jodie snuggled her naked body against his. "I'm glad you enjoyed it, Sweetie. I know I did."

"That's the first time a woman let me come in her mouth."

Jodie giggled and said, "That's the first time a man kissed me after he did."

"It seems like this is a night of firsts for both of us, doesn't it?" Andy said.

"Andy, this is so much more than that for me. I hope this is just the beginning of things to come."

"So do I, Jodie."

"Do you remember when I asked if I could cook for you?" Andy smiled and nodded. "Can I make you breakfast in the morning?"

"I can't think of anything that would make me happier."

Jodie ran her hand down to his crotch. She fondled his flaccid penis and giggled. "I can think of a few things. That is if we can get this big cock hard again."

"I'm afraid it might take a little while."

"That's okay, I can wait. Just wake me up when you're ready," Jodie said.

Andy and Jodie kissed and hugged one another until they fell asleep in each other's arms.

-------

Eddie moved the boat into a slip in the shed at his dad's boatyard. Trent and Jack tended the lines, securing the boat to the pilings. Harry came out of his office and walked to the shed.

"Are you boys ready?" Harry said. "I have one of my mechanics here to help you."

"We're ready Mr. Shockley. We just filled her up and had the holding tank pumped out," Brad said.

"How much oil do the engines hold?" Trent said to Eddie. The two boys stood at the helm, shutting things down.

"Each engine holds about eighteen and a half," Eddie said.

"Quarts?"

Eddie laughed. "No, gallons. With the generators we need about fifty gallons of oil for a complete change."

"Holly crap! That's a lot of oil!" Trent said.

"It sure is. My dad told us we could bring the boat here to do it because he has everything we need and a way to take care of the used oil."

Trent and Eddie went to the cockpit. Eddie opened the hatch to the engine room and took the hoses from the mechanic. Trent watched as Eddie connected the hoses to the oil-change system.

"This unit pumps out the old oil and then pumps the new oil into the engines," Eddie said.

"How long does it take?" Trent said.

"The system will transfer about two gallons a minute. The process takes about a half hour. The nice thing is that you don't end up with spillage in the bilge."

Tom and Jack came down into the engine room to learn how to service the engines and strainers. The boys all pitched in and were ready to go in an hour.

"Thanks, Dad. We're heading back," Eddie said.

"No problem. Dave checked everything and you're good to go. Make sure to watch for leaks when you start the engines," Harry said.

Eddie and Trent went to the bridge. Eddie watched while Trent turned on the electronics and started the engines. Jack came up a few moments later to tell them there weren't any leaks.

"Okay, are you ready to pull her out?" Eddie said to Trent.

"I'll do my best," Trent replied.

Tom and Brad cast off the lines. Trent put the boat into reverse and following Eddie's instructions, backed out of the slip. He used the bow thruster to turn the boat in the canal and then headed for the ICW.

"You did great, Trent," Eddie said.

"Thanks. It was easier than I thought it would be."

Trent guided the boat into the ICW. He turned toward home and increased the speed. After a few minutes, Eddie told him to let Jack take over.

Jack stopped in the ICW to wait for a drawbridge to open. Eddie told him how to use the engines and the bow thruster to hold the boat in place.

"How often do we have to change the oil and service the engines?" Trent said.

"I like to change it every hundred hours or so. We keep twenty gallons of oil onboard to keep the sumps full." Eddie pushed a couple buttons and showed Trent and Jack the display. "This monitors the oil levels in the generators and the engines. We have an alarm too, but it's a good idea to keep an eye on the display. I check the levels using the dipsticks on the engines too. I don't always trust the gauges."

"How long is it going to take to get to North Carolina?" Jack said.

"We should be able to make it in a day and a half if we run all night. We can take turns at the helm. I think we should make a schedule so we know who is on watch and who is sleeping," Eddie said.

"I don't know that I'll be able to sleep," Trent said. "I can't wait to go on the trip."

"This is the longest trip we've taken. I'm excited about going too," Eddie said.

Jack maneuvered the boat into the canal by the house. Eddie stood next to him, telling him what to do to dock the boat. He eased the boat against the seawall and let out a breath.

"That wasn't too bad, was it?" Jack said.

"No, you did great. Shut it down and we'll go see what the rest of the guys are doing," Eddie said.

Jack, Eddie, and Trent went down to the cockpit. Brad and Tom finished tying the boat to the pilings and connecting the water and electrical.

"We were wondering what happened to you guys," Sally said as she boarded the boat. "We went shopping and all of the stuff is in the van."

The boys followed Sally to the van. They grabbed the bags of food and other things from the back of the truck and carried them to the boat. The girls took a few things and headed to the boat with the boys.

"We have plenty of food. We bought a few things for our trip too," Jenny said. She gave Brad a quick kiss. "How did the oil change go?"

"It's finished. We topped off the fuel and pumped her out too. What did you guys do, buy the entire store?" Brad said.

"We bought a bunch of food, snacks, soda, water and a few other things. Kim picked out another coffee pot too. That way we can make two pots at once," Jenny said.

The teens worked together transferring the food from the packages to plastic containers. Trent and Kim stocked the refrigerator in the galley, the cockpit, and the bridge with soda and water. Kathy and Molly put the meat into plastic bags and then put them in the freezer.

The team finished stowing the food and went to the salon. They sat as couples and talked about fishing for tuna. Eddie read from a magazine, telling the group about the things he'd learned.

"There's an article on how to tune the radar so we can detect birds. It says that finding birds is the best way to locate feeding tuna. It sounds a lot like fishing for billfish, dolphin, and wahoo," Eddie said.

"Do we have everything we need for tomorrow?" Molly said.

"I think so. We'll find out when Nate gets here," Tom said.

"We should get to bed early if we're going to be ready to go at four in the morning," Kathy said.

"I'm planning to go to bed by seven and get to sleep by eight," Jenny said and then she giggled.

"It sounds like someone's horny," Eddie said.

"I think Jenny's always horny," Kathy said. She giggled, adding, "I know I am!"

The teens all laughed. Kim glanced at Trent and smiled.

"We should go see what time we're going to eat," Tom said.

The group left the boat and walked to the house. Kim asked her mom about dinner and she said that she would fix something in a few minutes. The team went outside to sit on the patio and wait.

"I have to get my things out of my car," Trent said after dinner.

"Okay, why don't you go get your stuff while I finish the dishes," Kim said.

"So, are you and cutie-pie going to get it on?" Sally said as she stood next to Kim.

Shrugging her shoulders, Kim said, "I guess we'll do it when Trent's ready. I'm not going to push him."

"That's cool." Sally glanced around and then whispered. "You can always jump Jack if you need to."

"I'm okay, Sally," Kim said and then she giggled. "It isn't like I'm going completely without. I'll have you know that Trent has a very talented tongue and his fingers are awesome!"

"You know I'm just kidding, don't you?"

"Yeah, I know."

Kim and Sally giggled. They finished rinsing the dishes and putting them into the dishwasher. They moved to the counter to watch Molly, Kathy, and Jenny finish the dishes.

Molly took over at the sink, helping Jenny with the pots and pans.

"What time are you kids leaving in the morning?" Laura said. She placed a frying pan on the counter by the sink.

"We're leaving at four, Mom. Nate is supposed to meet us here," Molly said.

"Who's Nate?"

"Nate is a charter captain Eddie and I worked for last summer. He taught us a lot about fishing," Jenny said. "We hired him to take us out and teach us about fishing for tuna."

"That sounds smart. The more you know, the better chance you'll have in North Carolina," Laura said.

"Mr. Shockley told us that it's important to know what we don't know. That's why we're having Nate go with us tomorrow," Jenny said.

"That's sound advice. Do you have everything you need for tomorrow?"

"Yeah, we went shopping while the boys took care of the boat. We're all set, Mom," Molly said.

"Do you want me to make a batch of muffins for you to take in the morning? I can bake them tonight."

"That would be awesome, Mrs. Durham, but you don't have to," Jenny said.

"Don't be silly, Jenny. You know I don't mind. It makes me feel good when someone enjoys my baking," Laura said. "How many should I make? Do you think two dozen will be enough?"

Molly giggled. "Yeah, for the boys!"

Laura smiled at her daughter. "Okay, I'll make three dozen for you kids. What kind would you like?"

"I love the banana nut muffins," Kim said.

"I like them all, but blueberry is my favorite," Sally said.

Laura nodded and said, "I'll make half banana nut and half blueberry then."

Trent came into the kitchen along with the rest of the boys. They gathered at the counter with the girls. Molly told them that her mom was going to make muffins for the trip and all of the boys thanked Laura.

While the team sat watching Laura preparing the muffins, Ellen and Harry came into the kitchen with Marge, Anne, Don, and Marc. Jenny and Eddie greeted their parents and so did the rest of the group.

"Hi, kids, what are you up to?" Ellen said.

"We're watching Mrs. Durham make muffins for our fishing trip tomorrow, Mom. Why are you and Dad here?" Jenny replied.

"We were invited. By the way, I have something for Trent in the car. Why don't you go get it for me?" Ellen said.

Jenny headed outside, returning with Trent's fishing team uniforms. She handed the clothing to Trent and giggled.

"What's this?" Trent said as he took the things from Jenny. A black suit bag prevented him from seeing the contents.

"Take a look, Trent," Ellen said.

Kim took the bag from Trent, holding it so he could unzip the bag. He let out a gasp and then smiled as he removed the bag. Trent took one of the shirts from Kim and examined it.

"Wow, this is so cool!" Trent said as he looked at the embroidered short sleeve shirt.

Molly grinned. She remembered how she felt when she first saw her uniforms. "Now you're really part of the team, Trent," Molly said.

Trent felt his throat tighten. He blinked a few times and nodded. Running his fingers over his embroidered name, Trent said, "Thank you, Mrs. Shockley. These are great."

Kim hung the clothing over the back of a chair. She removed a pair of the slacks and held them up. "Try these on. If they fit, I'll wash them for you, Sweetie."

"Where should I go to change?" Trent said. He took the slacks from Kim.

"You can change right here," Kim replied.

Shrugging his shoulders, Trent removed his shorts and put the pants on. He took off his tee shirt so he could put on the uniform shirt too. Kim helped Trent, straightening the collar and tugging at the shirt.

"I think they fit," Trent said.

Ellen checked the length of the slacks. She slipped a finger into the waistband to make sure they fit and said, "They fit you well, Trent. The shorts have the same size waist so I know they'll fit too."

Trent changed back into his shorts and tee shirt. Kim removed the clothing from the hangers and headed for the laundry room. Trent helped her carry his things.

Standing next to Kim, Trent watched her separate and place the clothing into the washing machines. She added detergent, started the washers, and stepped back. Turning to Trent, Kim hugged him. He hugged her back as he fought the urge to cry. Kim looked up, noticing the tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Are you okay?" Kim said. Trent nodded. "What's wrong, Sweetie?"

Trent hugged Kim tighter and said, "I'm just happy, Kim. I can't believe how much has happened for me. I never thought I'd be part of anything like the fishing team." He gave her a tender kiss. "I never thought I'd have friends like you guys either."

Kim giggled and wiggled against Trent. "Well, you do. We like having you on the team and I like having you for my boyfriend."

Trent grinned. He began kissing Kim and moving his hands on her back. Kim moaned into his mouth when he began rubbing one of her breasts. She pressed into his hand and pushed her tongue into his mouth. Trent moved his other hand to her bottom and pulled her closer.

"Mmmm, I thought you didn't like my boobs anymore," Kim said.

"Why would you think that?"

"Because, you haven't paid any attention to them lately."

"I'm sorry. I'll have to make sure I don't neglect them."

"You better not neglect them." Kim giggled. "You're too cute!"

"Why do you say that?" Trent said.

"Because you're so shy. Sweetie, I like it when you touch me. I've told you that before."

"I know, but I still worry that I'll piss you off."

Kim put her hand over Trent's hand and pressed it against her breast. "If you don't play with my tits, you'll piss me off." She gave him a kiss and giggled again. "That goes for everything else too."

The washing machine began filling for the rinse cycle. Turning toward the machine, Kim lifted the lid to add fabric softener. Trent put his arms around her, moving both hands to her breasts. Kim pushed her butt back, wiggling against him. She added the softener, closed the lid on the washer, took his wrists in her hands, and moved them under her top. Trent kissed Kim's neck and massaged her breasts through her sheer bra.

"We should go back to the kitchen," Kim said. "I'll come back out and put these things in the dryer in a few minutes."

Trent gave Kim's breasts another squeeze. She kissed his chin and backed away. Hand in hand, they went back to the kitchen to see what the others were doing. Sally winked at Kim and the two girls giggled.

"What took you two so long?" Sally said.

"I had to wait for the rinse cycle so I could put in the fabric softener," Kim said.

"We're going swimming," Tom said. He put his arm around Molly and guided her toward the door to the patio.

The rest of the teens followed Tom and Molly. They went into the pool house, stripped and took showers. Kim and Trent giggled as he carefully washed her breasts. Kathy told them to wait until later, causing everyone to laugh.

In the pool, the teens splashed and horsed around. The guys started swimming laps while the girls stood in waist deep water watching them. They talked about the next day, going over the food they'd packed on the boat.

"I have to go move Trent's clothes from the washer to the dryer," Kim said. She started for the steps of the pool.

"I'll help you," Jenny said as she followed Kim.

The two girls wrapped themselves in towels. They went through the house to the garage, saying hi to the adults as they passed by the living room. In the garage, Kim and Jenny removed the pants and shirts from the washing machines, shook them out, and put them in the dryer.

"Did you see the look on Trent's face when Mom gave him his uniforms?" Jenny said. "I think he was about to cry."

"I saw him, Jenny. It's cool that he's excited about being part of the team," Kim replied as she tossed dryer sheets in with the wet clothes.

"Do you think Trent is getting over his dad's death?"

Kim shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know if anyone can ever get over something like that. I think he's doing better now that he has friends."

"Friends are important, aren't they? Who would have guessed that all of us would have become such good friends so fast?"

Kim giggled and nodded. "I know that I'm glad we met and became friends, Jenny. Jack, Tom, and Sally are happy too. We've talked about how weird it is that we met other kids that are so much like us."

"Yeah, it isn't everyday you meet people that think the way all of us do, is it? I mean what are the odds of that happening?"

"I don't care about odds or any of that crap. All I know is it's great that none of us have to hide how we feel about each other." Kim moved closer to Jenny and gave her a hug. "Especially our brothers."

Jenny giggled as she returned Kim's hug. "It's funny, but I used to think that Eddie and I would always be together. Now we don't fool around very often anymore. Sometimes I miss it."

"Yeah, me too. Jack and I did it together the first time we screwed."

Jenny continued holding Kim as she giggled. "Eddie and I did it the first time. So did Brad and Kathy. Jack is great in bed. I still remember the day Sally seduced Brad and I had sex with Jack. That girl is a nut!"

"Sally is different, but I love her to death. I used to wonder how she can be the way she is with Jack, but I've realized that it makes her happy so I don't say anything anymore," Kim said.

Jenny and Kim separated. When they did, both of their towels dropped to the floor. Laughing, the two girls picked up their towels, wrapped them around their bodies and tucked a corner of the towel between their breasts.

"I know what you mean about Sally. It makes sense with Molly. She is very insecure about herself. But Sally is so strong and smart," Jenny said.

The two girls headed back to the pool. While they walked through the house, Laura stopped them and said that the muffins were ready to go. Jenny and Kim thanked Laura and then Kim told her she would get the bag of muffins when she came back for Trent's clothes.

The other teens sat in the chairs along the edge of the pool. Kim sat on Trent's lap and put her arm around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her middle, holding her.

"Where were you?" Trent said.

"Why, did you miss me?" Kim replied with a giggle. Trent smiled and nodded. "Jenny and I went to the garage to take care of your uniforms. They're in the drier now."

"Thanks, I could have done that," Trent said.

Kim twisted and kissed Trent. "That's okay, I don't mind. They'll be dry in a few minutes and you can help me take them to the boat."

"I guess we're as ready as we're going to be for tomorrow," Jack said as he leaned forward and looked at the others.

"I don't know what else we can do. We have food and the rods for catching bait. We should head for the boat and get some rest," Eddie said.

Everyone agreed that it was time to go to the boat for the night. It was only seven o'clock, but four in the morning would be there before they knew it. The teens went to the cabana, showered, and dressed. Outside, Kim told them she would be there in a few minutes because she needed to get Trent's clothes.

"I'll go with you," Molly said. "I want to say goodbye to my mom."

All of the teens decided to go to the house to say goodnight to the adults. Marge, Don, Anne, Marc, Ellen, and Harry sat in the living room talking and having a drink. Laura stood at the sink, washing the pans she used to bake the muffins for the teens. Molly gave her mom a hug, thanked her for the muffins, and told her that she'd see her the next evening. The other teens went to the living room to say goodbye to their parents.

"I'm heading out," Laura said as she walked into the living room. "Joel is waiting for me at home. I'll see you tomorrow."

Jack and Sarah Waters came into the house. They said hi to everyone and then Sarah said, "We wanted to stop by to see Kathy and Brad before they left."

"Come in and join us. Would you two like a drink?" Marc said.

"Sure, I'll have whatever everyone else is drinking," Jack Waters said as he shook hands with Don, Marc, and then Harry.

The teens talked with their parents for a few minutes. Kim went to the garage to get Trent's clothes and he went with her. They hung the shirts and slacks on hangers and folded the shorts. On the way to the boat, Molly grabbed the bag of muffins.

On the boat, Kim and Trent took his clothes below to their stateroom. They hung the shirts and slacks in the hanging locker and put the shorts in a drawer with the things Trent brought to keep on the boat.

"It's still hard for me to believe I'm part of the team," Trent said as he hugged Kim.

Kim stretched up and kissed Trent. "Well, you are a member for as long as you want to be." She giggled and kissed him again. "You know, tonight is the first night we get to sleep together."

"I know it is. I promise to be good."

Kim nodded and hugged him tighter. To herself, she said that she hoped that Trent would be very good.

"Let's go up and see what's going on," Kim said.

In the galley, Sally and Kathy prepared the coffee pots for the morning. They told Trent that the other guys were in the cockpit, going over the tackle one last time. Trent headed for the cockpit to see what he could do to help his friends.

"Buying another coffee maker was a great idea, Kim. It will make it better in the morning," Kathy said.

"Mom made four dozen muffins. Two dozen blueberry and two dozen banana nut," Molly said as she put the muffins into a plastic container.

"That's great. Maybe we'll get some before the boys eat them all," Jenny said, causing all the girls to laugh.

The boys came into the cabin. They stood in the galley, watching the girls. Molly walked over to Tom, gave him a kiss, and said, "Is everything set for tomorrow?"

"Yeah, we have everything we can think of. Eddie said that Nate may bring a few things we might not have on the boat," Tom replied.

"We've never fished for bait before. I hope Nate brings any lures we might need," Eddie said. "From what I've read, we're going to catch skipjack tuna for bait."

"We're going to use tuna as bait for tuna?" Trent said.

"That's what I read. The skipjacks are smaller that the fish we'll target. They only grow to about three feet long. The smaller ones are supposed to make good baitfish," Eddie said. "One of the articles said that they swim in warm water. The yellow fin and blue fin we'll fish for in the tournament live in colder water. That's why we're heading out to the east wall in the morning."

"How large do the yellowfin and bluefin tuna get?" Jack said.

"The record for yellowfin is over three hundred eighty pounds. Bluefin tuna can grow to over a thousand pounds. They say that pound for pound, the yellowfin is the hardest fighting and fast game fish there is," Jenny said.

"You guys must study fishing a lot," Trent said.

"We do, Trent. The more we learn, the better we get," Brad said. "I can give you a bunch of links if you want to start doing research."

"Thanks, Brad. That would be great. I want to learn as much as I can about our sport," Trent replied.

"You should research the environmental stuff too. There's a lot more to fishing than just catching fish," Jenny said.

"If you're interested in it, visiting the fishing sites can be as much fun as checking out porn," Eddie said.

"Yeah, and you should know!" Jenny said and then she giggled. "My brother is a perv!"

"I am not. I go to those sites to learn about sex."

"Don't get your shorts in a bunch. I'm just teasing you," Jenny told her brother.

"You better be. As I remember it was you that showed me a few of the better porn sites anyway," Eddie said.

"What's the big deal? Doesn't everyone go to those sites?" Sally said.

All of the teens laughed. Kim winked at Trent and he blushed. Moving closer to him, Kim whispered in Trent's ear. "Maybe we can check them out together one of these days."

Trent blushed again and nodded his head. Kim giggled as she hugged his arm.

The teens shut off the lights and locked the door to the cockpit. They all said goodnight to each other as they went below to their staterooms.

In the stateroom they would share, Kim kicked off her boat shoes and turned off the bright overhead lights. She left the rope-lights on, bathing the room in a soft glow. Kim turned down the bed while Trent stood watching her. He moved against her back, put his arms around her waist, and kissed her neck. Kim leaned back, covering his hands with her hands.

"Mmmm, that's nice," Kim said as Trent kissed her neck.

Trent moved his hands to the hem of Kim's top. She held her arms over her head as he pulled her top off. Trent began fondling Kim's breasts and kissed her shoulder. Kim turned around so she could kiss his mouth. They continued kissing as they slowly removed each other's clothing. They took off everything except Kim's panties and Trent's briefs.

Kim and Trent climbed into the lower berth and came together in a hug. They kissed each other and ran their hand over one another's bodies. Kim wanted to speed things up, but she waited to see what Trent would do. He rolled her onto her back, kissed down her chest, and began sucking on one of her nipples.

"Is this okay?" Trent asked in a husky voice that exposed his lack of confidence.

"Yes, it's perfect, Sweetie." Kim ran her fingers through his hair, pressing his head against her breast.

Trent moved his mouth from one nipple to the other several times. Kim squirmed on the bed, pressing her crotch against his leg. Pulling him up, she kissed Trent's open mouth. Their tongues flicked together and they let out soft moans.

Kim ran her hand down Trent's back to his butt. She slipped her fingers under the waistband of his briefs and rubbed his bottom. Trent squeezed one of her breasts and then moved his hand into Kim's panties. She parted her legs, kissing him harder as he stroked her mons.

Trent kissed his way down Kim's body again. He paused at her breasts and then kissed down to her stomach. As he wiggled his tongue in her navel, Trent tugged at Kim's panties. She lifted her bottom so he could remove the lacy thong. Trent moved between Kim's legs and kissed her vulva. She rocked her hips, moaning as his tongue lapped at her labia.

Kim reached down and held Trent's head against her crotch. He parted her labia with his tongue, pushing it against her opening. Kim wiggled and splayed her legs as wide as she could.

"Turn around so I can do you too, Sweetie," Kim said.

Trent kept his head between Kim's legs as he shifted on the berth. Kim pulled his white briefs down, helping him kick them off his legs. Trent straddled Kim's head, moaning into her sex as she stroked his hard penis. Kim kept her hand around his shaft as she pulled him down to her mouth. She ran her tongue around his glans, kissing the tip of his penis. Trent pushed his hips down and Kim opened her mouth to accept his member. She clamped her lips around his shaft and began sucking while rubbing her tongue against his penis.

Moaning, Trent started rocking his hips. Kim let him move his penis in and out of her mouth while Trent sucked on her clit. He pushed a finger into her vagina, causing Kim to groan around his penis. A few moments later, Kim felt her climax building deep in her body. She stroked Trent's penis and moaned around it. Trent let out a gasp as his semen shot into Kim's sucking mouth. She clamped his head between her thighs when her orgasm matched his.

Kim and Trent continued using their mouths to satisfy each other. His penis throbbed against Kim's tongue and she swallowed his semen as fast as it shot into her mouth. Her vagina clamped around Trent's probing fingers and her body jerked beneath him. She held his penis in her mouth as it lost most of its rigidity. Trent removed his fingers from her vagina and covered her with his mouth. He drilled his tongue into her, tasting the tangy juices.

"Come up here and kiss me," Kim said.

Trent flipped around, covered Kim's body with his, and kissed her. They parted their lips and moved their tongues around inside each other's mouths.

"Wow, that was so hot," Trent said as he gazed down into Kim's eyes. He kissed her again.

"Yeah, very hot. You're good at eating my pussy. I hope you like the way I suck your cock, Sweetie. I don't think I can get enough of that," Kim said.

"I love it, Kim. You're so different from anyone I've ever met. The girls back in Iowa made sex sound dirty when I overheard them talking about it."

Kim giggled. "Look, I love sex and I don't care who knows it! There's no sense in lying about it, is there?"

Trent shrugged his shoulders. He rose up, looking down at Kim's breasts. Lowering his head, he kissed each of them. Kim wiggled against his body, feeling his penis growing hard against her mons. She put her hands on the back of Trent's head and pulled his mouth to hers.

Kim and Trent kissed for a few moments. She opened her legs to increase the contact of his penis against her mons. He sucked in his breath and slowly rocked his hips. She moved her hands down his back and gripped his butt cheeks. As their kissing increased in intensely so did the movements of their bodies. Trent shifted on top of Kim. His penis moved lower, pressing against her vulva. He started to move up to remove it from between Kim's legs, but she held him in place.

"Tell me what you want to do, Sweetie," Kim said in Trent's ear.

"I want to make love to you, but I don't know how."

"Mmmm, I want you to fuck me, Baby. It's your first time so you can do whatever you want to do."

Trent rocked his hips, but his penis slipped up between their bodies. Kim tried to guide him with her hands on his butt, but Trent's movements became erratic. He shoved his penis against Kim's sex, but missed the mark.

"Slow down, Trent. I'm not going anywhere. Use your hand and put your cock in my pussy."

Trent nodded. He reached between their bodies, gripped his penis, and rubbed the glans against Kim's labia. She told him to move his penis lower and tilted her hips to aid with his penetration. When his penis pressed against her opening, Kim pulled against his bottom.

"Yeah, that's it. Now push it in, but go slowly. You're big and I don't want it to hurt me," Kim said.

Trent rocked his hips, working his penis into Kim's vagina. He removed his hand and supported his body on his extended arms. Kim glanced down, smiling when she saw their connection.

"Oh yeah, that's it, Baby. You fill me up with your big cock," Kim said as she pushed up against Trent.

Moving slowly, Trent pushed into Kim and then pulled back. She gripped his butt, trying to control the pace. Pulling her legs back, Kim moaned out in pleasure.

"Am I doing it right?" Trent said while looking down at Kim's smiling face.

"You're doing great. Just do what you want and what feels good."

"I want it to be good for you, Kim."

"Don't worry about me. I'm doing fine." Kim removed her hands from Trent's butt and grabbed her legs. She pulled back, tilting her crotch up.

Trent picked up speed. He shoved his penis deep into Kim's vagina, paused and pulled back until most of his shaft wasn't in her. He repeated the motion and began slamming into her. Kim let out a throaty grunt each time his pubic area met hers and their bodies slapped together.

Gripping Kim's shoulders, Trent continued thrusting in and out of Kim's vagina. His face contorted and his body stiffened as he pressed his penis into her and started ejaculating. Kim hooked her legs over his, locking them together. He let out throaty groans while his penis throbbed and sent several spurts of semen into Kim's gripping vagina.

Trent's body went limp. He lowered himself down, pressing his sweaty flesh against Kim's equally sweaty body. She stroked his legs with her feet and his back with his hands. Trent gasped for air as he recovered from his first time screwing.

"Wow, that was amazing," Kim said. She kissed his neck and wiggled beneath Trent.

Lifting his head, Trent said, "Did I do okay?"

"Sweetie, you did great!"

"I didn't last very long, did I?"

Kim giggled softly. "You lasted a lot longer than the boy that screwed me the first time."

Trent grinned. Even if what Kim said wasn't true, it stroked his ego. He lowered his head and kissed Kim. She held him close, trying to keep his semi flaccid penis in her vagina.

"Roll onto your back, Baby," Kim whispered.

Trent moved onto his back next to Kim. She knelt on the bed and smiled down at Trent. From the look on his face, he enjoyed losing his virginity as much as Kim enjoyed taking it.

"This is one of my favorite parts," Kim said. She kissed Trent and then moved down to his crotch.

Trent sucked in a deep breath as Kim sucked his slick penis into her mouth. She took his entire length, laving him with her tongue. Kim cradled his testicles, removed her mouth from his penis, and began licking and sucking his orbs. Trent watched in awe as Kim cleaned him.

Sitting back on her heels, Kim ran her tongue over her lips. She giggled and then stretched out next to Trent. "That was so yummy! I love sucking your cock after it was in my pussy."

Trent held Kim and thought about her complete lack of inhibition. Feeling he should let her know how much he liked what she did, he pulled Kim on top of him. He put his hands under her arms, pushing her up so he could suck her nipples. Kim held his head, watching Trent lick and suck her nipples as he moved his head from one breast to the other one. Then, Trent pushed her higher and kissed her stomach. He scooted lower on the bed and kissed his way to her mons.

"I want you to sit on my face," Trent said into Kim's soft flesh.

"You don't have to do that, Sweetie," Kim replied, but she moved so she knelt on the bed.

Trent grabbed her bottom, pulled her crotch over his upturned face, and then pulled her down. Kim squealed as his tongue stabbed at her vagina. She wiggled her hips, rubbing her crotch on Trent's face. Kim gripped her breasts and pinched her nipples while Trent attacked her sex with his tongue. She rotated her hips and rubbed her clit against his nose. Trent's noisy slurping sent her over the edge and she climaxed. When her clit became too sensitive, Kim slid down and planted her mouth on Trent's mouth.

Kim licked around Trent's mouth, collecting the slick coating of their combined juices. She felt her heart pounding in her chest. Trent's unselfish actions made Kim beam with joy.

Trent and Kim stretched out on their sides facing each other. They traded quick pecking kisses and grins. He stroked her side and her breast. Kim reached between them and gently fondled his genitals.

"Trent, that was so sweet of you to go down on me after we fucked. It means a lot to me," Kim said.

Trent smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "You did it for me so I wanted to do something for you too."

"Oh, Baby, you sure did!" Kim giggled and kissed Trent. "Oh, and I don't think you're gay or anything. You don't have to do that if it bothers you. I happen to love the taste of come and pussy together, but I know that not everyone does."

"It didn't bother me, Honey."

"So, how did you like doing it? Screwing I mean."

"It was great, Kim. Much better that I imagined it would be. I can't wait to make love with you again."

Kim smiled and kissed Trent's cheek. "Baby, what we did was fuck, and it was wonderful. I loved it and I want to do it as often as we can. As far as making love, that may or may not come later. You can suck, fuck, and have sex with anyone, but you can only make love to someone you love."

"Kim, I think I love you," Trent mumbled.

"Sweetie, you love what we do. So do I. Love is something you can't rush. I can't say whether we'll fall in love with you or not. If we do, cool, but let's just see how it goes. We're young and we haven't known each other very long yet. There's a lot we have to learn about each other before we'll know if we're meant to be together.

"As far as the sex goes, I want to do it a lot! You can do whatever you want whenever you want to do it." Kim giggled. "If you get horny, all you have to do is undress me and have at it. If I get horny, which is very often, I plan to do the same thing to you. Either of us can say no. If I tell you I'm not in the mood, don't think I don't like you."

"You are so honest it's scary. All of you are like that. You just say what's on your minds. Me, I'm always worried about what everyone will think of me. I don't want to piss anyone off or say the wrong thing," Trent said.

"It's easy to be honest, Baby. All it takes is not doing anything you're ashamed of doing. If you do things because you want to, and it doesn't hurt anyone else, you don't have to worry about what anyone thinks." Kim giggled and gave Trent a kiss. "We can talk about this later. Right now, I want to see if you can get that monster in my pussy again."

Trent chuckled. "Um, can we do it with you on top this time?"

Kim pushed Trent onto his back. She straddled his hips, gripped his penis, and lowered herself onto him. Wiggling, she worked his penis into her vagina. "Does that answer your question?"

"Yeah, it sure does."

"You seem to know what you want, Baby. Are you sure this is the first time you've done this?" Kim giggled.

"I've seen things on the internet."

"Cool, we can try them all." Kim rose up and held still. Placing her hands on her breasts, she giggled and said, "So, are you going to fuck me or do I have to do all the work."

"We can both do it if that's okay."

Kim put Trent's hands on her breasts. She put her hands on his chest and began to move. He massaged her breasts and started to push up, meeting her downward thrusts. They moved in unison for a while and then Kim leaned forward so she could kiss Trent. He held her hips, bouncing her up and down.

Trent and Kim's second time lasted about twenty minutes. She controlled the tempo, pausing when she felt Trent was close to an orgasm. When he finally came, he pulled Kim down and moaned into her open mouth. Kim rotated her hips bring on her climax as Trent's subsided.

Without a moment's hesitation, Kim flipped around and gobbled Trent's penis. He pulled her down and sucked on her vagina. They used their mouths on each other for a few moments and then Trent flipped Kim onto her back. He moved his head to hers and kissed her. Kim giggled when she felt and tasted their fluids draining onto her tongue.

"Oh, Baby, we're going to have so much fun together. You are so willing to try things and I love it!" Kim said as she gazed up into Trent's bright eyes.

Trent kissed Kim and then stretched out next to her. He held her close, kissing her neck and shoulder. "Can I tell you something?" Trent whispered.

"Sure, you can tell me anything," Kim replied.

"I like doing that."

Kim grinned and decided to have a little fun. "Doing what? Do you mean fucking?"

"Yeah, I love fucking you, but I like kissing you after we do it."

Kim stifled a giggle. She kissed Trent and then said, "I know, I like kissing you too."

"I mean I like kissing your pussy, Honey. It seems to make you happy when I do it for you."

"Trent, it does make me happy. It makes me happy that you're not all hung up about tasting your come. I hope you don't find it yucky and only do it because of me."

"No, I don't think it's yucky or nasty. Um, it isn't the first time I've tasted it."

Kim giggled and propped herself up on her bent arm. "Does that mean you've tasted your come before? I like to lick my fingers when I play with my pussy."

"When I was like fourteen, my friend and I found some magazines. We used to hide in my garage and look at them. My friend talked me into jacking off in front of him and we started doing that. One afternoon, we gave each other a blowjob." Trent took a deep breath and shook his head. "I can't believe I told you that. I've never told anyone. We only did it that one time," he quickly added.

Kim wrapped her arms around Trent and gave him a kiss. She felt they'd crossed another threshold in their relationship. Kim almost cried as she thought about how hard it must have been for Trent to confess what he'd done. "I think you're one of the sweetest boys I've ever met. Thank you for feeling that you can confide in me.

"As far as fooling around with someone that's the same sex, I know that you're not the only boy that's done it. I happen to like fooling around with another girl."

"For some reason, the idea of two girls fooling around is different from two boys."

"That's because of all of that double standard shit. I think that people should be able to do what they want to do without worrying about what other people think. I mean if you don't want to fool around with another boy, don't do it, but don't get shitty with someone that happens to like it. You know, live and let live," Kim said.

Trent nodded. Kim gave him a kiss and then said, "I hope you didn't promise your friend that you'd never tell anyone about what you guys did together."

"No, I guess we just assumed that neither of us would ever admit it."

"Well, it's good that you didn't break a promise. No one should ever make a promise and then break it no matter what. As far as assuming goes, my dad says you should never assume anything. If you're not sure, ask."

"We should get some sleep, Kim. It's going to be time to get up before we know it," Trent said.

"I know, but I'd rather stay up and see if we can screw again." Kim giggled at Trent's big grin. "If you wake up with a boner, just wake me up and do me."

"The same goes for you, Honey."

Laughing, Kim said, "Um, I don't get boners." Giggling, she wrapped her hand around Trent's penis. "But I know where I can find one."

Kim rolled onto her side facing away from Trent. He snuggled against her back, put his arm over her, and held one of her breasts. She turned off the lights and wiggled against him. Kim giggled when she felt his penis expanding against her bottom.

"You can't put it up my butt unless you use a lot of lube, Sweetie," Kim said and then she giggled.

"You'd let me do that?"

"I already told you that you can put your cock anywhere you want to."

Chuckling, Trent massaged Kim's breast. She put her hand over his, holding it to her. As they relaxed, Trent and Kim thought about the evening's events. The more he thought about it, the harder his penis grew. Kim reached between her legs, grabbed his member, and pulled it down. She closed her legs, trapping Trent's penis against her vulva. He moved back and forth and Kim sighed.

As much as she wanted to feel Trent's penis inside her, Kim felt exhausted. She used her hand to press his penis against her crotch, relishing the warmth. Trent stopped moving and fell asleep. She released his penis and settled in for some much needed sleep.

Chapter 54


"I think the kids are in for the night. They're getting up early to go tuna fishing. Let's go outside. I feel like taking a swim," Don said. "Who needs a fresh drink?"

Marc helped Don fix new drinks for their wives, Ellen, Sarah, Harry, and Jack Waters. They all went down to the pool, placed their cocktails on small tables and undressed. Don took Marge's hand and led her into the warm water. The rest of the group followed them. Everyone swam around for a few minutes and then stopped to rest in the shallow end of the pool. Don sat on the edge of the pool with his legs dangling in the water. Marge moved between his legs, resting her arms on Don's thighs. He put his hands on his wife's shoulders and massaged her.

"So, what do you hear about the shop, Ellen?" Don said.

"Not too much. I expected to hear something by now, but Mrs. Akins hasn't said anything to me," Ellen replied.

"Not knowing must be hard," Anne said.

"It is, but I try not to think about it. As I said before, if I lose the job it's no big deal."

"Yeah, but you also say how much you like working there," Sarah said. "I don't like my job, but it's better than nothing."

"I've told you a dozen times that you should quit, Sarah. Since I started working with Harry, we don't need the money. No one should work at a job they don't like if they don't have to, and you don't have to," Jack Waters told his wife.

"I do like working there. I've met so many nice people. I'll miss my regular customers if the new owner decides to let me go," Ellen said.

The group got out of the pool. They pulled their chairs into a circle so they could look at one another while they talked. Don made sure that everyone that wanted one had a drink. The group sat enjoying the warm evening and their drinks. Marge and Anne glanced at each other and then at Don and Marc.

Leaning close to Marge, Don whispered, "This is your show, Baby, yours and Anne's."

Marge smiled and nodded. She winked at Anne and looked at Ellen. "Anne and I are thinking about working. We figure that with the kids in school and our husbands working on their projects, we'll be bored."

"So, we're wondering if we can get a job at the lingerie shop. Do you think you can put in a good word for us?" Anne said.

"I could if I knew what was going to happen with Sheer Delights, but I don't. I've hired all of the help for the last few years, ever since Mrs. Akins made me the manager. If the new owners keep things the way they are, I'd be happy to give you two a job," Ellen said.

"That's great, Ellen. Don said that if Anne and I did special favors for him and Marc, they'd buy the shop for us," Marge said. She giggled when she saw the look on Ellen's face.

It took a moment for what Marge said to sink in. Ellen looked at Marge and Anne, her face showing her disbelief. "If they buy you the shop, I'll do special favors for them," Ellen finally said. She glanced at Harry, giggling when he smiled.

"Are you guys yanking our chains or are you serious?" Harry said.

"We're serious, Harry. We suck their cocks and they'll buy us the shop," Anne said and then she laughed.

"Christ, if that's true, I'll suck their cocks," Harry said as he laughed.

"Look, if we want to fool around, it's fine with me, but that has nothing to do with business. Marge, Anne, you should tell Ellen and Harry the conditions," Don said.

Ellen's shoulders drooped as she nodded at Don.

"We want you to be our partner, Ellen. Anne and I don't know squat about running a store," Marge said.

"There's no way we can afford to do that, Marge," Harry said.

"We're not asking for money. Marc and I will put up the cash and you girls can pay us back over time. I feel that if everyone has skin in the game, they'll work harder to make the venture succeed. From what Joel told us, the store is profitable. We've sent a letter of intent to Mrs. Akins and Joel is having an accountant audit the books," Don said.

"I don't know what to say," Ellen said. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Say yes," Anne said. "It'll be a blast, Ellen."

Turning to her husband, Ellen said, "What do you think, Honey?"

Harry grinned and nodded. "I guess I owe you guys a blow job, don't I?"

Everyone laughed. Ellen got up and went over to Marge and Anne. The two women stood up and they all hugged. Grinning, Ellen stood between Marc and Don. She reached down, wrapped her hands around their penises, and said, "I'll take care of my husband's debt for him." She laughed and released them.

"So what happens next?" Harry said.

"Once Joel finishes his work and he says everything is in order we'll close on the business. Until then, we wait," Marc said.

Sarah watched her three friends. The women shared smiles and then moved closer so they could talk. Ellen leaned in and whispered to Anne and Marge.

"What do you think about asking Sarah if she wants to join us? She can have half of my share," Ellen said.

Marge and Anne glanced at each other. Both of them knew that Ellen wanted her best friend to become part of the new venture. They also understood how important friendship was.

"I think that's a great idea, Ellen. Sarah can have half of my share too," Anne said. Marge nodded in agreement.

"That would make her an equal partner," Ellen said as she blinked a tear from her eyes. "Are you sure?"

"Hey, Sarah, what did you do at your old job?" Marge said while winking at Don.

"I do almost everything at the law firm. I do the bookkeeping, manage the office, and whatever they ask me to do. Wait, what do you mean by my old job?" Sarah said.

Anne giggled. "Well, hear that you're the best at giving head so we decided that we want you as our partner. Don't forget what we said, we have to do special favors for Don and Marc so they'll put up the money."

Marge and Ellen started laughing. Sarah sat dumbfounded as she let what her friends said sink in to her mind. Looking at her husband, Sarah said, "What do you think, Honey?"

Jack Waters smiled at Sarah. He glanced at Don, Marc, and Harry, chuckling when the men nodded. He stood up, went to his wife, and pulled her to her feet. Taking her hand, Jack led Sarah away from the rest of the group so he could talk to her.

"Is this what you want?" Jack said while holding Sarah in his arms and looking into her eyes.

"I think it would be fun working in retail with my friends, Sweetheart. How do you feel about the idea?"

"Sarah, I want you to do whatever makes you happy. Our lives have changed since that day on the boat and I couldn't be happier. You've made great strides and you've become the woman I always knew you could be. Our kids are doing what they want to do and so am I. Now it's time for you to what you want. If you want to be their partner, I'll support you."

Leaning her head against her husband's chest, Sarah thought about the offer and about what Jack said. She'd thought about leaving her current job, but didn't say anything because she felt Jack wouldn't want her to quit. Now, knowing that her husband would support her if she did make a change, Sarah felt overwhelmed. The thought of leaving a job she'd held for many years was frightening, but the idea of having a new career was exciting.

Jack ran his hand up and down Sarah's back as she contemplated the idea. She tightened her arms around Jack's body, looked up and smiled.

"I want to do it, Jack. If you say okay, I'll do it," Sarah said.

Jack was about to tell Sarah that it was up to her, but he didn't. He tipped her head up, gave her a kiss, and said, "I say you should go for it."

"Thank you, Baby. I love you," Sarah said.

Jack chuckled and hugged Sarah. He moved his hand to her bare bottom, gave her a squeeze, and said, "Let's go tell them." He moved his mouth to her ear, gave Sarah a kiss, and then whispered.

Sarah giggled and looked into her husband's eyes. He grinned as he nodded his head. Together, they walked back to the others. Jack took his seat, fighting the urge to grin. He watched Sarah as she moved in front of Don and looked down at him. Without saying a word, Sarah knelt on the deck. She put her hands on Don's knees and pushed his legs apart.

Don watched Sarah move between his legs. She picked up his penis, stroked it, and put it in her mouth. Moaning, Sarah sucked on Don's member, feeling it grow in her mouth.

"I guess we have a new partner," Marge said. She laughed as Anne and Ellen nodded.

Reaching down, Don pulled Sarah away from his penis. She giggled, stood up, and said, "Jack said that I should do that to let you know that I want to be a part of the venture." She moved to Marc, bent over, and sucked his penis for a moment.

"Damn, if she keeps that up, I'm going to make a deposit," Marc said.

Sarah began laughing around Marc's penis. She stood up, turned to the other women, and giggled.

Marge, Anne, and Ellen got up to hug Sarah. The four of them pressed their bodies together and began talking. Moving to their chairs, they pulled them into a tight circle so they could discuss their future.

"You two never cease to amaze me," Jack said as he hoisted his drink toward Don and Marc. "Thanks for including Sarah."

"It wasn't us, Jack. The girls made the decision. After all, it is their business, or at least it's going to be theirs. Unless they ask for help, I think we should let them run with this," Don said.

Marge and the other women got up. They told their husbands that they were going to the house so they could make notes on their ideas for the shop. The men nodded and decided to go in too. Everyone grabbed their clothing, carrying the items to the house.

Anne grabbed a pad of paper and a pen. The women gathered around the table and began talking.

"I've always wanted to find a designer and develop our own line of lingerie. I think we could come up with a high-end product for our customers," Ellen said.

"Isn't there a lot of competition in the field?" Sarah said. "You know who I'm thinking of, don't you?"

"Yeah, but I think that Victoria's Secret has become one step above the department stores. If you look at their product line, they're making things that aren't what our customers demand. Anyone can buy that stuff. They just market it better," Ellen said.

"Wouldn't it be hard to sell enough products from the shop to make our own line profitable?" Sarah said.

"Maybe, but who says we have to limit our sales to the store? We could sell it on the internet or even open additional shops. We could start a franchise," Marge said.

"Mrs. Akins said that there's too much competition and that it isn't a good idea," Ellen said.

"Hogwash! If that were true, there wouldn't be as many fast food restaurants as there are. If we decided to franchise, we have to make sure we only place shops in affluent areas. We want to attract a special clientele," Anne said.

"Another thing our customers ask for is custom fitting. Many of our customers' breasts aren't the same size. I've measured women that have a half cup size difference between their breasts," Ellen said.

"So, if we decide to design our own line, you think we should have the product produced here instead of offshore?" Marge said.

"Yes, as I said, anyone can get the things from China or countries like that. If we're going to develop a line, we should have it produced here in the United States. If women are willing to spend big money on imported goods, they'll pony up for high quality domestic products," Ellen said.

The men sat at the counter listening to their wives. Don made sure everyone's drink was fresh and offered the group snacks.

"It sounds as if they're excited about this," Harry said.

"Yeah, excited and smart. I think that from what I've heard, they're going to be successful. Listening to Ellen, I'm realizing that woman's underwear is big business." Marc chuckled. "I know that I like seeing women in sexy undies."

"For many women, it's all about fashion as well as function. That's why they spend what they do every year. While Marc and I did our research, we discovered that it's a twenty nine billion dollar industry worldwide. That's a lot of money," Don said.

Harry looked at Don and raised his eyebrows. Don and Marc chuckled.

"You don't think we went into this with blinders on, did you? Don and I checked things our before we decided to see if the women wanted to own the shop," Marc said.

"No, I just didn't realize that you checked it out first. I think it's smart," Harry said.

Glancing at Jack Waters, Don said, "How do you feel about this? You haven't said much."

Chuckling, Jack said, "I'm still in shock."

"You know that Sarah didn't have to do what she did, don't you? That was a joke," Marc said.

"Yeah, I know. I suggested that Sarah do it to you two. It's one of her fantasies. Years ago, when Sarah was in high school, she used to be a bit loose. She was known for her oral abilities. After I married her, she withdrew and became almost frigid. As it turned out, she was afraid that if she allowed herself to enjoy sex, she'd revert back to her old ways." Jack said.

"She sure seems well adjusted to me," Marc said.

"Yes, Sarah has made great progress lately. I have Ellen to thank for that. She helped Sarah get over her fears and begin enjoying life. There was a point, not too long ago, that I thought we'd divorce. It didn't have anything to do with our sex lives, or the lack of a sex life. She was hurting our kids by trying to be over protective.

"Ellen helped Sarah realize that our kids were normal and that what she was doing was might cause them to rebel. Sarah started letting Kathy dress like the other kids and stopped chastising her and Brad for everything they did. Then she allowed herself to have sex without feeling guilty. The next thing I knew, Sarah was a completely different person," Jack said.

"How did she handle it when she discovered that Brad and Kathy were having sex with each other?" Don said.

"Poorly at first, but she quickly realized that there wasn't anything she could do about it. The kids and I talked with her and she came around. As I said, there wasn't much we could do to stop it if that's what Brad and Kathy wanted to do."

"It's good that you two managed to save your relationships. Sarah is a great person and if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have never thought that she once had issues like the ones you described. As you know, we're open to almost anything and don't try to hide the fact. As far as the sex goes, I would never ask anyone to do anything they didn't want to do," Don said.

"We know that, Don. We're as open as you guys are and have enjoyed fooling around too. Ellen and I have enjoyed swinging with several couples and now we're enjoying it with Jack and Sarah," Harry said.

"While Marc, Marge, Anne, and I enjoy getting together with other people from time to time, we don't consider what we do swinging. For us, it's consenting adults enjoying sex. To us, swinging is a term that doesn't fit our lifestyle. We've always thought of ourselves as a unique society. We, along with other like-minded people, enjoy one another's company.

"We've learned that there is no room for jealousy in our lives. We can do things together without worrying that we'll upset our spouses or our friends. What we do is more about having fun than it is about sex. Don't get me wrong, we all love sex, but we can have just as much fun without it as we can with it. All of us have a little voyeur and exhibitionist in us. We enjoy watching each other as much as we enjoy someone watching us.

"None of us have any hang-ups about sex either. We've all engaged in things that most other people might find offensive. We don't care what anyone outside our group thinks. None of us tries to push our beliefs on anyone else. What we do is our business.

"I've always believed that we're responsible for our own happiness. There are people out there that would cringe if they knew what we enjoy, but we don't care. If someone doesn't like what we do, they don't have to associate with us. We have friends that don't engage in some of the things we do, but they don't try to tell us we shouldn't do them," Don said.

"I don't think anyone should meddle in someone's personal lives either, Don. Ellen, Jack, Sarah and I have many of the same feelings. What you said about swinging makes sense to me after hearing you explain your feelings about the term. While we have done things with strangers, Ellen and I decided it was risky and don't do it anymore," Harry said.

"What you said about the excitement of watching rings true with me. I love watching Sarah and Harry together." Jack chuckled. "I love watching our wives too."

"You mentioned that Sarah has a fantasy. Do you mind if I ask what it is?" Marc said.

"Well as I told you, Sarah used to like giving head to a bunch of guys when she was in high school. She would like to do it again someday," Jack said. "She's worried about how it will affect her, but I think she could handle it now."

"As much as I'd like to help your wife's fantasy come true, I would never expect her to do anything that might hurt her or you," Marc said.

"Frankly, I think that she needs to do it one of these days," Jack said.

"Why?" Harry said.

"So she'll know once and for all. I think she thinks about it and that it bothers her. If it's a problem for her, we'll be able to work it out together. If it isn't a problem, well, at least she'll know," Jack said.

"It wouldn't bother you if she did?" Don said.

Shaking his head, Jack said, "No, back when we were in high school, I used to take her home and clean her up. Sarah had absolutely no self worth at the time. Her parents were religious zealots and raised her to think that sex was only for reproduction. As I said, she rebelled in the worst way.

"The night that Sarah went under the bleachers the first time, I was there. I watched the other girls taunt her and I watched her give a bunch of boys blowjobs. I don't know why, but I felt sorry for her. When they finished with her, I took her into the locker room and cleaned her up. I took her home that night, and many others.

"Sarah and I began dating and we finally had sex. I knew she was still doing things with other boys, but I didn't care. When she became pregnant, we were married. Her parents disowned her and we've been together ever since. Over the next few years, things became a living hell for me. The only reason I stayed was to protect my children.

"Then we met Harry and Ellen. Ellen talked to Sarah and convinced her that if she didn't change her ways, I was going to leave her. That day on the boat, the old Sarah died and my wife appeared. Ever since that day, things have gotten better for all of us."

"I didn't know Sarah before our kids began fishing together, but the change since we met has been remarkable." Harry put his hand on Jack's shoulder and laughed. "She's a great friend of Ellen's and mine."

The women got up from the table and walked over to their husbands. Anne held up the pad of paper and said, "We have a bunch of ideas for our new business."

"It's not yours yet, Sis," Don said.

Anne moved closer to her brother. She put the pad on the counter and then put her arms around Don's neck. Anne kissed Don, giggled, and began playing with his penis. "You and my hubby will make sure it's ours, won't you?"

Laughing, Don said, "You know that we'll do everything we can, Anne."

"We want another drink," Marge said.

"You girls can have one, but I have to drive so I'm going to stop drinking," Harry said.

Marge smiled and said, "You guys can stay here tonight if you want to."

Don fixed everyone a drink. They went to the family room and sat on the couches. Don, Marc, Harry, and Jack listened to their wives as the women told them some of their ideas. They stayed up for another hour and then decided to go to bed. On the way upstairs, Marge held Don's hand. Everyone said goodnight and headed to the bedrooms.

"How did everything go when the four of you talked?" Don said to Marge as they climbed into bed.

"Great, Baby. All of us are excited about it. I know it isn't certain, but please do everything you can to make it happen." Marge gave Don a kiss.

"You know that Marc and I will do what we can. As long as the books look good and we can work out good terms, we'll get the shop. I wouldn't worry about it, Sweetie."

"I'm not worried, Don. I know that you and my brother will do everything you can. It's just that Ellen and Sarah will be so disappointed if the deal falls through."

Don hugged Marge. He felt proud that his wife's concern was for her friends and their happiness. "I'll make it happen."

Marge giggled as she slid down Don's body. She took his penis in her hand and began kissing it. Marge covered it with her mouth and bobbed her head. After a moment, she sat up and moved up. Don gave her a kiss and held her.

"It seems that our new business partners are a lot like we are. Did you know that Sarah and Jack fool around with Harry and Ellen?" Marge said.

"Yeah, we talked about it tonight," Don replied.

"They want to have fun with us. Well, at least Ellen and Sarah do. Sarah said that she wanted to finish giving you and Marc blowjobs tonight. Did Jack tell you about her past?" Don nodded. "You'd never know she was like that if someone didn't tell you, would you?"

"No, and it doesn't matter."

"I know. Would you like to have sex with Ellen and Sarah?" Marge fondled Don's penis, giggling as it grew in her hand. "Hmmm, it seems that your cock likes the idea."

"Marge, if you have something to say, just say it. You know damn well that I'd like to be with either Ellen or Sarah."

"Good," Marge said. She released his penis and got out of bed. Marge left the room to meet the other girls in the hallway.

"Don is up for it. How about your husbands, what did they say?" Marge said to the three women.

"Jack's cool with it," Sarah said with a giggle.

"So is Harry," Ellen said.

Anne glanced at her friends and said, "Who wants to sleep with whom?"

Sarah giggled and headed for Don and Marge's room. She waved over her shoulder, giggling as she opened the door.

"I'm going to take Marc for a ride. See you guys in a little while," Ellen said.

Marge and Anne laughed. "Did you see which rooms they went into?" Marge said. Anne shook her head. "Well, pick one and I'll take the other one."

Marge and Anne went to the guest rooms. Anne opened a door, closing it when she saw it was empty. She went to the next room, opened the door, and saw Jack. Anne winked at Marge and stepped into the room. Marge went to the other room and got into bed with Harry.

"What's going on?" Don said as he looked up at Sarah. He turned on the lamp so he could see better.

Snickering, Sarah slipped into bed with Don. She snuggled close, putting her arm over his chest. "We, the other women and I, decided to have some fun tonight. Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah, as long as this doesn't have anything to do with the business, Sarah."

"It has nothing to do with it. I want to have sex with you because I'm attracted to you." Sarah moved her hand down to Don's crotch and began rubbing him.

"Well in that case." Don said. He slipped his arm around Sarah, pulling her closer. "I was kidding about using sex to pay for the shop you know."

"We all know that, but its fun to think in those terms. A woman likes to know she's desirable."

Don chuckled and moved his hand down Sarah's back to her butt. "You're very desirable, Sarah. I'm honored that you want to have sex with me."

"There you go, always so humble," Sarah said as she wiggled against Don.

"Honest maybe, but I don't know about humble."

"Don, you, Marge, Anne, and Marc are the humblest people I've ever met. You do things that most of us only dream of doing. You guys didn't have to do what you did for the kids, but you did and never made any of us feel as if we weren't involved. You didn't have to buy the shop either. Ellen is one of my best friends. She was so upset about having to leave the shop. It isn't the money, she loves her job."

"Well if everything goes the way we plan, you girls will be selling sexy undies for a long time."

"Yeah, and wearing them for the men in our lives. Now if we're done talking for a few minutes, I have plans for this thing," Sarah said. She chuckled and waggled Don's penis.

"What do you plan to do with my cock?"

"First, I'm going to see if I can deep throat you. Your cock is the biggest one I've ever played with. Then I hope you'll fuck me."

"That works for me," Don said. He rolled onto his back, pulled Sarah over him, and gave her a kiss.

Sarah returned Don's kiss, pushing her tongue into his mouth. He held the back of her head with one hand and stroked her bottom with the other. She moved lower, kissing Don's chest. He pulled her back up, rolled Sarah on her back, and gave her a kiss. Massaging one of her breasts, Don smiled at her.

"I'd be happy just snuggling and touching you," Don said.

"Does that mean you don't want me to blow you or fuck you?" Sarah said.

"No, I'd love to do both. I'm saying that you don't have to if you don't want to."

Sarah chuckled and said, "You sound as if you're trying to talk me out of this. Don, I knew what I wanted when I came in here."

Don gave Sarah a kiss. He ran his hands up and down her back and then moved them to her shoulders. Sarah giggled as Don pushed her down. She kissed his chest and stomach before wrapping her hand around his penis. Slowly stroking him, she ran her tongue around his glans.

Rising up on his arms, Don watched Sarah lave his penis. She glanced up, smiled, and covered his growing member with her mouth. Kneeling between his legs, she lowered her mouth. Sarah took most of Don's penis into her mouth, moaning as it filled with blood and expanded. She swallowed several times while taking his member into her throat.

Sarah bobbed her head slowly and fondled Don's testicles. He smiled, watching her take his entire cock into her mouth and throat.

"That feels good, Sarah."

Sarah removed her mouth, looked up at Don, and smiled. "It feels good to me too. Do you want me to finish blowing you or would you rather fuck?"

"Choices, choices, choices. Let's mix it up and see what happens," Don said.

Nodding, Sarah returned her mouth to his penis. She sucked and bobbed her head for a few minutes and then moved up Don's body. He held his penis as Sarah lowered herself, impaling her vagina with his penis. Wiggling her hips, Sarah worked his member deep inside. She put her hands on Don's chest, looked into his eyes, and began moving.

"God you're big," Sarah said.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it, but I'm not that much bigger than the rest of the men," Don said.

"That may be true, but you sure fill my pussy."

Don smiled. "Remember, it's just sex. We're doing this for fun and because it feels good."

Sarah lifted her body until only an inch or so of Don's penis remained in her vagina. She lowered herself quickly and then repeated the motion. Picking up speed, Sarah bounced up and down on Don. He held her hips and began driving up into her.

Sarah began panting. Don flipped her onto her back, knelt between her legs, and started moving. He pressed her legs toward her head as he pounded in and out of her.

"Oh yeah, that's how I want it!" Sarah said. She gripped Don's arms, moaning as his body smacked against hers.

Don removed his penis from Sarah, scooted up, and straddled her body. He gripped his penis, offering it to her mouth. She lifted her head and sucked on as much of his member as she could fit into her mouth.

For the next half hour, Don moved his penis from Sarah's mouth to her vagina. He put her on her hands and knees, screwing her from behind. She came several times before Don reached his peek and shot his semen into her vagina.

"That was fun," Don said as he snuggled next to Sarah.

"That was amazing! Jack is great at making love, but no one ever fucked me like that." Sarah rolled onto her side and stroked Don's cheek. "Don, I know this was nothing more that two friends enjoying a great fuck. Please don't think I'm comparing you to my husband, because I'm not. As good as this was, it wasn't something that would ever come between my hubby and me."

"I know, Sarah. You don't have to explain. Look, we, Marc, Anne, Marge, and I all enjoy having sex with other people. We also know that's all it is."

Don and Sarah hugged each other and relaxed.

The rest of the couples engaged in a great round of recreational sex before falling asleep.

-------

Jack woke Sally when the alarm went off. He rolled her onto her back, gave her a kiss, and said, "We have to get up, Sweetie. Nate will be here in a few minutes."

"Okay, I'm awake." Sally giggled and reached between Jack's legs. "I'm awake and horny. Do we have time?"

"No, but I'll take care of you later." Jack gave Sally a kiss. "Still love me?"

"Jack, I love you so much I can barely stand it."

Jack and Sally got out of bed. They went into the passageway and began waking the others.

"Hey you two, it's time to get up," Sally said as she shook Kim's shoulder.

Kim groaned and rolled onto her back. She looked up at Sally and said, "We'll be up in a minute."

Sally left the stateroom. Kim wiggled against Trent and gave him a kiss. "Wake up, Baby. It's time to go fishing."

Trent stretched his arms out, wrapped them around Kim, and pulled her to him. Hugging her, he kissed her tenderly.

"Kim, you don't think I'm sick because of what my friend and I did, do you?" Trent said as he held his head next to hers.

"What are you talking about?"

"Last night when I told you that my friend and I gave each other blow jobs."

Kim pulled back, giggled, and shook her head. "I already told you that it doesn't bother me, Baby." She giggled again and fondled his penis. "It wouldn't bother me if you did it again either. Have you ever thought about it?"

"I don't know, I guess so. It doesn't get me all worked up, but I have thought about what happened."

"Was your friend as good as me?"

Trent laughed. "Kim, I don't think anyone could be as good as you are."

"At what?" Kim said, wanting Trent to tell her.

"You know, blowing me."

Kim giggled. "So, I guess you like it when I suck your cock."

"Stop teasing me. You know I love it!"

Kim pushed Trent on his back. She leaned over, took his morning erection into her mouth, and gently sucked him as she moved her head up and down. She pulled her mouth off his penis, sat up, and said, "Good, because I love sucking cock."

"Mine or anyone's cock?" Trent said.

"Right now, I like yours the best." Kim saw the look on Trent's face. She hugged him and gave him a kiss. "I'd be lying if I told you I wouldn't ever fool around with anyone else. I'm not planning anything, but if it happens, I'm not going to feel guilty. If you fool around with someone else, I won't be mad at you. I would like it if we could talk first though."

Kim and Trent got out of bed. They went to the head, waiting for Tom to finish before going in. After taking turns using the toilet, they brushed their teeth and then went to dress. Trent thought about what Kim said, remembering that she'd told him the same thing before. He wondered if she was setting the stage for having sex with someone else.

"Kim, you told me before that you didn't want a committed relationship. Are you planning on having sex with someone else?" Trent said while watching her put on her bra.

"No, I'm not planning anything, Baby." Kim fastened her bra, twisted it around her body, and pulled the cups over her breasts. She wrapped her arms around Trent, pressing her body against his. "I wouldn't plan anything like that without talking to you first, Trent. If it does happen, it will probably be spontaneous and you'll be there too. It usually happens that way. Please don't worry about it, Baby. It doesn't mean that I don't like you."

"I don't know if I'll ever know what to expect with you, Sweetie. You are so open and care free."

"That's good, isn't it? I mean, you'll never get tired of me that way," Kim said. She looked up and gave Trent a kiss.

"I guess, but I'm not sure that I'll ever get used to you or the rest of the group."

"Oh I don't know. I think that once you accept that we're all very good friends and that we're not all hung up on jealousy, you'll be fine. Now that's enough of that. Let's go get some breakfast."

Trent chuckled and put his hand on Kim's crotch. "I know what I want for breakfast."

Kim giggled. "Mmmm, that sounds good to me too. Maybe we can take a nap later."

Kim and Trent left the stateroom. On the way up to the galley, Jenny and Brad came out of their room. The four of them went up and into the galley. Jenny began making coffee while Kim poured orange juice. The others came up, joining Kim, Jenny, Trent, and Brad.

"Trent and I will go up and start the engines," Brad said. "Someone should go out and wait for Nate."

"Kim and I will go," Jenny said.

"Tom and I will take care of the water and electrical," Jack said.

All of the teens worked together to get ready. Molly and Kathy started breakfast, deciding it would be easiest to make French toast and bacon.

On the bridge, Brad told Trent to fire up the engines. Trent used the printed checklist to make sure he didn't miss anything.

"That was good, Trent. You didn't miss anything," Brad said. "So, are you having a good time as part of the team?"

"I'm having a blast, Brad. It's taking me a little time to get used to everything, but I'm sure I will," Trent replied.

"Yeah, there's a lot to learn about fishing and the boat, isn't there?"

Chuckling, Trent said, "Yeah, that too."

"What does that mean?"

"I don't know. It's just that you guys are so different from anyone I've ever known. Sometimes I don't know how to take the things that go on."

Brad nodded. "I know what you mean. Kathy, Jenny, Eddie, and I have been friends for a while and we had fun fishing. Molly joined our group and fit right in. Did you know that she used to date Eddie and Kathy?

"Then we met Tom, Jack, Sally, and Kim. We took them fishing one time and we all became friends. It was so weird when we found out that they're so much like the rest of us. Now we're all friends. You're our friend too, Trent."

"Thanks, I feel that way. You guys have all accepted me and I appreciate that. When I first moved down here, I was afraid that I wouldn't meet anyone. I heard part of the story about Molly."

"She dumped her old boyfriend because he was an asshole. Molly started hanging around with us and then she started dating Kathy and Eddie. Then, Tom came down and took her to the junior prom. After that, Molly and Tom started going with each other."

"Kim told me that she and Tom used to be together," Trent said.

Nodding, Brad said, "Yeah, but she's the one that set up Tom and Molly. Weird, isn't it?"

Trent chuckled. "I'm glad Kim set them up."

"I'm sure you are. You and Kim seem to be hitting it off," Brad said. He told Trent to reduce the RPMs of the engines.

"We're getting along, but she keeps telling me that I shouldn't get upset if she fools around with someone else. I get the feeling that she wants to."

"You shouldn't get upset, Trent. I don't know if Kim's planning anything or not, but if it happens, it doesn't mean she doesn't like you. Look, I'm sure you know that all of us are pretty carefree when it comes to sex. Sometimes we get to messing around and end up in bed with someone other than our girlfriends. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen.

"I think that Kim wants you to know that if it does, it isn't because of anything you've done," Brad chuckled, "or haven't done. Just go with the flow and you'll be fine. If you don't want to mess around with any of the other girls, then don't. No one cares either way."

Trent nodded. He and Brad went down to the galley to have breakfast. Brad greeted Nate and introduced Trent.

"So, Nate, what's the plan for today?" Jenny said.

"We're going out to make bait and then we'll head out to the Gulf Stream and try to locate the fish. Do you have underwater lights?" Nate said.

"Yes, we have underwater lights," Eddie said.

"What do we need underwater lights for?" Trent said.

"When we start making bait, the lights draw in the plankton and tiny fish. The bigger fish will come in to eat," Nate said. "Let me have another muffin. They're great."

The group finished eating. Nate and the other boys went to the bridge and pulled away from the seawall. The girls cleaned the galley and then sat at the dinette to wait until they reached their destination.

On the bridge, Nate looked over the array of electronics. Shaking his head, he said, "How the hell do you keep track of all these screens?"

"It's easy, Nate." Eddie went on, explaining each of the displays.

"This is one hell of a boat. You kids are very lucky to have her," Nate said.

"We know we are. We appreciate everything our parents do for us," Jack said.

"We're getting close to the coordinates you gave us, Nate. Want to take her the rest of the way?" Brad said.

Nate nodded and took the helm. He watched the chart plotter, navigating to the location he wanted to fish for bait. Once he arrived, Tom showed him how to set the anchor and turn on the underwater lights.

"Let's go have a cup of coffee and wait for the baitfish to gather. It'll be a bit before we start fishing," Nate said.

The guys went down to the galley to get coffee. They stood against the counter, listening to Nate tell them about tuna fishing.

"You kids have to be ready for almost anything when you're tuna fishing. You never know when a big one is going to strike. I've been out catching fifteen to twenty pound yellow fins and had a five hundred pound blue fit take one of the baits.

"Tuna are fast and strong. If you latch onto a big one, be ready to get into the chair. You can horse the small ones, but the big fish will test you. Make sure to switch off if you get into them or you'll wear yourselves out," Nate said.

"Do you think we can handle them?" Molly said as she waved her hand toward the other girls.

"Sure, as long as you're smart. As I said, use the chair so you'll have the advantage. The chair lets you use your legs and back to fight the fish, not just your arms."

"Are tuna hard to locate?" Trent asked.

"No harder than any other fish. You look for birds and jumping baitfish just like you do when you fish for anything else. Tuna school, so when you find them, stay in the area. Keep bait in the water and don't clear the lines unless you have to. It isn't uncommon to hook up with two or three at the same time.

"If you don't have one, get an extra gaff or two. If you lose your gaff, you'll be out of luck. That and you may have to land more than one at the same time or use two gaffs if it's a big one," Nate said. "It wouldn't hurt to have a harpoon for a very large fish."

Nate went on, explaining how the harpoon helped land a large fish.

"Is the tournament catch and release?" Molly said.

"No, we take the fish in and weigh them. We can keep what we want to and let the organizers take what we don't want. They donate the fish to a food bank," Jenny said.

"That's nice of them. If the fish are in, they should have plenty," Nate said. "Well, I think we should go see if we can catch some bait."

The teens followed Nate to the cockpit. Jack and Eddie got out the rods and reels Jack brought from his boat. Nate looked them over, saying they would be fine. He opened his duffle bag and removed a plastic box.

"Tie these jigs on. We lower them into the water and move them up and down," Nate said.

Tom turned on the water and circulation pump for the live bait well. Kim showed Trent how to tie a jig to the line and they began fishing. A few moments later, Molly screeched and said that she caught one. For the next hour, the group caught one and two pound baitfish.

Nate told the teens they had all they needed. They cut the jigs off the lines, put them back in Nate's box, and stowed the rods. Jenny and Sally went up to the bridge to get underway while the boys started rigging the rods they'd use for tuna fishing. Kim, Kathy, and Molly went to the galley to make a fresh pot of coffee.

"Here's your new coordinates," Nate said.

Sally took the slip of paper and entered the information into the plotter. Jenny set the autopilot and sat back. Eddie came up with a carafe of fresh coffee and mugs. He placed them on the table and went to the helm.

"I read an article about turning up the sensitivity on the radar so you can see birds. I want to try it today," Eddie said as he adjusted the unit.

"I read that article too. It sounds interesting, but my old radar isn't sensitive enough," Nate said. "One of these days I'm going to replace it."

Eddie and Nate stood in front of the radar screen. Eddie adjusted the unit, watching the changes on the display. Jack and Tom watched as their friend made the adjustments.

"We're entering the Gulf Stream. You have to be alert because it can get very rough. The stream runs north and if you have a north wind, this water gets angry. Make sure to quarter into the waves," Nate said.

The wind came out of the south, making crossing the Gulf Stream easy. Sally stood at the helm, following the chart plotter. She reset the autopilot once she felt comfortable.

"We should go down and rig a few baits. We'll be there in a bit," Nate said.

Sally and Kathy remained on the bridge while the rest of the team went down to the cockpit. They watched Nate rig a large baitfish and place it in one of the tuna tubes. Trent asked about the tuna tubes and Nate started explaining them to him.

"The tubes have water circulating through them, Trent. It keeps the bait alive. Using the tubes, you can set up many baits so they'll be ready for you," Nate said. "Okay, you kids do the next baits. The more you practice, the faster you'll get."

Eddie and Trent worked as a team. They rigged one of the baitfish and then Kim and Molly took a turn. The team worked together, rigging the baits. They filled the available tubes and relaxed. Nate told the teens that they did well and that before long, they'd be able to rig a bait quickly.

Moving to the lower station, Eddie opened the hatch. He turned on the radar and watched the screen. Jenny stood next to her brother, watching him fine tune the unit.

"Hey, we're almost through the Gulf Stream," Kathy said over the intercom.

"Okay, we'll start watching for birds on the radar," Eddie replied.

"Two of us should go up on the tower," Kim said. "Trent, why don't you and Molly go up?"

Trent shrugged his shoulders. He and Molly went up to the tower and began scanning the horizon. Molly removed the binoculars from the storage locker and put them to her eyes. She looked for a few moments and gave them to Trent.

"I don't know what I'm looking for," Trent said.

"We look for birds diving into the water and for baitfish jumping. The birds dive to eat and the baitfish jump to try to get away from larger predator fish that are trying to feed on them from below. When you see them, it will make you laugh."

Trent went back to using the binoculars to search for birds and baitfish. He leaned against the rail, feeling the sway of the tower.

"So, do you like hanging around with us?" Molly said.

"Yeah, I'm having a blast!" Trent lowered the binoculars and turned to Molly. "Do you ever feel like an outsider?"

"No, never. Why? Do you feel that way, Trent?"

"I don't know. It's taking me time to get used to everything I guess. Everyone is so different from the kids I knew back home." Trent chuckled. "You guys do things we used to talk about, but knew we'd never do."

"What do you mean?"

"It's like going on the tournament. My friends and I used to talk about going camping and things, but we could never go. None of us could afford it. I guess I could have, but I spent all of my spare money on my car."

Molly nodded. "I used to feel that I wasn't really part of the group, but that didn't last long. When I started hanging around with Jenny, Eddie, Kathy, and Brad, I was getting over a bad relationship with my ex boyfriend. They took me in and made me feel that I was special. It's hard to explain."

"Wasn't it weird dating Kathy and Eddie at the same time?"

Giggling, Molly shook her head. "We were a threesome, not two couples. The three of us did things together more than as couples, if you know what I mean."

Laughing, Trent said, "Yeah, and that's one of the things I'm having trouble understanding. I always thought that when a boy and girl went together, they didn't do anything with anyone else. You guys don't feel that way, do you?"

"Since I started hanging around with everyone, I've learned that I can have fun and still be in love. I love Tom more than anything and I'll do whatever he wants me to do. I also love fooling around with the others. In many ways, I love all of you guys. Trent, it isn't about sex. Our friendships are about fun and learning. We learn about fishing, boating, and about trust.

"My ex boyfriend didn't trust me and that caused him to smother me. I couldn't do anything I wanted to do. If I did, he would get mad at me. While I dated him, I thought it was okay, but once I met this group, I found out that it wasn't. No matter what, we're our own person and should be able to do things without fearing reprisal," Molly said.

"I don't completely understand, Molly. You say that you love Tom and that you'll do whatever he wants you to do. Then you say that you're your own person and do what you want," Trent said.

"Giving myself to Tom is what I want." Trent furrowed his brow and Molly giggled. She took the binoculars from Trent and started looking for birds and baitfish. Without removing the binoculars from her eyes, Molly said, "A lot of people don't understand the relationship Tom and I share. I chose to give myself to him and he accepted me. Now, I do what he tells me to do."

Trent nodded, but was having trouble understanding. He watched Molly, and thought about what she said. Molly lowered the binoculars and pointed.

"There are birds out there," Molly said. She used the intercom to inform her friends in the cockpit.

Eddie stared at the radar screen. He adjusted the sensitivity until the birds appeared on the display.

"Look at this, I can see the birds on the radar," Eddie said as he pointed at the screen. "This is so cool!"

"I'll be damned. I thought that seeing something as small as birds on the radar was impossible, but I can see I was wrong," Nate said.

Everyone took turns looking at the screen. Eddie showed them the tiny blips on the display each time the array made a sweep. Using the intercom, Eddie told Kathy and Sally about the birds. Sally replied, telling Eddie that she and Kathy could see them on the screen.

Sally turned toward the birds. She and Kathy watched the horizon for the birds.

"Molly, take over from the tower so Kathy and I can go down to the cockpit," Sally said over the intercom.

Molly told Trent to take the wheel. He steered toward the birds as Molly told him to and adjusted his speed. Turning around, Molly gazed down to the cockpit and watched the others getting ready.

"Slow down to about five knots," Eddie said into the intercom, relaying what Nate told him.

Trent backed off on the throttles. He watched the speed, adjusting the engines until he reached the right speed. Molly watched Jack, Jenny, Brad, and Nate start setting the lines.

"This is so exciting! I don't think I'll ever get tired of fishing," Molly said.

"I don't think I will either. This is way better than hanging around with my old friends," Trent said. "Actually, I didn't have any real friends, not after I turned into an asshole. I pissed off my best friend Angelo and he quit hanging around with me."

"We all make mistakes, Trent. The great thing is that we don't have to repeat them if we learn from them."

"Brad said I should call Angelo, but I haven't done it yet."

"Why not?"

"I don't know. I guess I'm afraid."

"What's the worse thing that can happen, Trent? If your friend doesn't want to talk to you, you're in the same place you are now. Maybe he will forgive you and you can be friends again."

Trent nodded. He'd thought about making the call several times, but could never gather the courage.

"You said you'd do whatever Tom told you to do." Molly grinned and nodded. She traced her gold collar with her fingertips. "Does that mean anything?"

"Yup, it sure does, Trent."

"What if he told you to jump off a bridge?" Trent smiled when he said it.

"Tom would never tell me to something that would hurt me. That's why I trust him to be my..." Molly was about to say master, but she stopped short. She wasn't sure how Trent would interpret it. "As I said, I trust him and will do what he tells me to do."

"What if there's something you want to do?"

"I ask Tom and he tells me if it's okay or not."

"That sounds so weird."

"Not to me, Trent. It's what I want and I feel very lucky to have a guy like Tom to do it for me. I know it's not for everyone, but it's great for me. One of the things I've learned by hanging around with this team is that you can be whatever you want to be. No one will chastise you as long as you don't do anything to hurt someone else."

Trent chuckled and said, "I'm learning that nothing about you guys is what I always thought was normal. I have a girlfriend that keeps telling me that she doesn't care if I have sex with someone else. Everyone says exactly what's on their minds and no one worries about pissing anyone off. None of you care about someone seeing you naked or in your underwear."

Molly started giggling. "Yeah, it's great, isn't it? I mean I think it's wonderful that we can be ourselves."

"We sure can be what we're becoming, can't we?" Trent said.

"Yes we can. We have a great group and a great team. We get to fish, boat, and have a blast without using drugs or alcohol. I get higher doing these things than I ever did when I drank." Molly giggled. "Sex is way better sober than it is when you're drunk."

"I'll have to take your word for it. I never had sex before I met Kim."

Trent and Molly stopped talking when they heard Eddie yell, "Fish on!"

They peered down, watching Jack grab one of the rods. Trent kept turning to watch where they were going as he watched Jack fight the fish.

"That looks like a nice fish," Nate said. "Don't try to horse it or you'll break it off."

"It doesn't feel too big," Jack said.

"That's okay. You should get into the chair so you become comfortable doing it while fighting a fish," Nate said.

Jack moved to the chair. Nate told Jenny and Kim to clip the straps to the reel while Jack kept cranking on the reel. He sat in the fighting chair and kept pressure on the fish. Kim and Jenny attached the straps and stood back. Jack used his legs and back to pull on the fish, reeling down as he leaned forward. A few minutes later, Brad gaffed the yellow fin tuna and pulled it through the transom door into the cockpit.

"That looks like about a thirty pound fish," Nate said. He used pliers to remove the hook and pushed the fish into the box. "Don't stand around looking. Get the line back into the water. You should always have a rod or two ready to replace the one you're fighting a fish with."

Sally and Jack took a turn in the tuna tower so Trent and Molly could go down to the cockpit. Kim gave Trent a hug when he moved close to her.

"You weren't trying to seduce my boyfriend were you, Molly?" Kim said with a giggle.

"What if I was?" Molly replied.

Kim giggled again and shrugged her shoulders. She gave Trent a kiss and whispered in his ear. "Did you miss me?" Trent grinned and nodded. "I missed you too."

"I'm going in for coffee," Trent said. "Does anyone else want some?"

Nate and Tom said they'd like a cup of coffee. Kim followed Trent into the cabin, taking him in her arms when they reached the galley.

"Are you having fun?" Kim said as she pressed her body against Trent.

"Yeah, I'm having a great time. It was fun talking with Molly and getting to know her better."

Kim giggled and gave Trent a tender kiss. "Just how well did you get to know her?"

"We just talked, Kim."

"Don't get upset, Sweetie. I'm just teasing you."

"Would it have upset you if I did more?" Trent said.

"Not as long as it didn't change the way you feel about me. I've already told you that I'm not the jealous type, Baby. I don't mind if you have a little fun."

"Before you said you didn't care."

Kim giggled and said, "I do care, Trent. I care about you and I care about us."

"Has something changed? I thought you said you weren't looking for a committed relationship."

"Things change, Baby. I wasn't looking for a committed relationship, but it seems I found one." Kim looked up into Trent's eyes. She smiled, kissed him, and whispered. "Trent, I've fallen in love with you."

Trent hugged Kim as tightly as he could. He kissed her tenderly and then pulled his head back. "I love you too." He kissed her again. "I love the sex too. You said I loved what we did together and you're right. I also love you for other reasons. You're fun to be with, easy to talk to, and so many other things."

"The deeper I fall in love with you, the better the sex gets," Kim said with a giggle. She moved one hand to Trent's crotch and rubbed him.

"What now?"

"What do you mean?"

Trent smiled at Kim as he composed his reply. Grinning, he said, "Are you going to get pissed off at me if I have sex with one of the other girls?"

Kim laughed as she shook her head. "No, Baby, I won't get pissed at you if you want to fool around with someone else."

Trent and Kim shared another kiss. They giggled as they poured coffee into the cups and took them out to the cockpit. Kathy came over to Kim and stood next to her.

"What's with the grin? Did you and Trent get busy?" Kathy said.

Shaking her head, Kim said, "No, I just told him I love him."

"When did that happen?"

Kim shrugged her shoulders. "Does it matter?"

"No, is doesn't matter. What happened to the girl that didn't want a relationship?"

"She found a boy that loves her and that she loves. Trent understands how we all feel about fooling around with each other and I don't think it'll be a problem if we ever do it."

"Cool, I can't wait to get him alone," Kathy said. She giggled and bumped against Kim.

"Just take it easy on him. He's still learning," Kim replied with a giggle.

"What's so funny?" Trent said as he moved next to Kim.

"Kathy was telling me she can't wait to get you alone. I was telling her to take it easy on you, Baby," Kim said.

Kim, Kathy, and Trent laughed. Tom shouted, "Fish on," and the cockpit became busy. Molly took the rod, moving to the fighting chair. Eddie and Tom clipped the straps to the reel so she could fight the fish.

Trent saw another rod go off. He sprang to the transom, grabbed the rod, and began reeling. Kim took a harness from the bait station and, with Kathy's help, got it attached to Trent. He put the rod butt into the holder and pulled back on the rod so the girls could fasten the clips to the reel.

Molly's fish made a few long runs. Trent kept winding the reel, working the fish to the starboard side of the cockpit. Jenny gaffed his fish and pulled it over the gunwale. Nate removed the hook and pushed the twenty-pound fish into the hold.

"Good job, kids. You did everything right," Nate said. He moved closer to Molly so he could coach her. "Pull back using your legs and back, Molly. When you lean forward, crank on the reel."

Kim gave Nate his coffee, apologizing for not doing it sooner. He chuckled, took a sip, and told her it was still hot.

"I'm getting tired," Molly said.

"You can rest, but you have to keep the line tight," Nate said. "Would you like a drink?"

"Yes please. I'd like some water," Molly replied.

Tom grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator, removed the cap, and handed it to Molly. She held the rod with one hand while using the other to drink some of the refreshing water. She gave the bottle back to Tom and resumed the battle.

It took another half hour for Molly to fight her fish to the boat. Nate grabbed the leader, carefully winding it around his gloved hand.

"You have to watch how you grab the leader. If the fish surges, you have to be able to let go so it doesn't pull you overboard or hurt your hand." Nate showed the group how he wound the leader so he could release it by straightening his fingers. "Get ready with the gaff."

Brad stood at the transom next to Nate. When Nate told him to, he gaffed the fish. Nate used the leader and Brad used the gaff to pull the fish to the transom door. They hauled the fish into the cockpit, stopping to catch their breath.

"That fish will go close to two hundred pounds," Nate said. "If you kids boat a few like that, you should do well in the tournament."

Molly got out of the fighting chair so she could get a better look at the fish. Stooping down, she stared at the fish.

"You did great, Molly. I was concerned that it may be too much for you, but you proved me wrong. You kids listen better than most of my clients do, that's for sure," Nate said.

Eddie laughed and said, "That's because you used to tell Jenny and I to shut up and listen when we worked on your boat, Nate."

"Yeah, and it's served us well," Jenny said.

"If you two, if any of you, ever need a job, come see me. I'd love to have any one of you mate for me." Nate glanced at the teens and smiled. "It's a pleasure to fish with a group that doesn't think they know it all. I know that I still learn every time I go out."

"Let's get back to fishing," Eddie said.

Nate and Brad shoved the tuna into the hold while Trent held the hatch open for them. Kim and Kathy set two rods and then baited the rods Molly and Trent used to catch their fish.

"Hey Tom, let's go up and relieve Jack and Sally," Kathy said.

Tom and Kathy traded places with Jack and Sally. Tom made a wide turn to take the boat back over the area they caught the fish. Over the next two hours, the team caught three more fish. None of the fish was as large as the one Molly caught.

"How long do you kids want to fish?" Nate said. "I think you have a good idea of how to fish for tuna."

"We can go back anytime or we can keep fishing if anyone wants to," Jack said.

"Let's give it another hour and then we'll head home," Jenny said.

All of a sudden, three of the rods went off. Jack, Kim, and Brad scrambled, each of them grabbing one of the rods.

"Try to figure out which one of you has the largest fish. That person should take the chair," Nate said. He looked at the rod tips, watching the action of each one. "I think the fish are about the same size. Kim, why don't you take the chair?"

"I'm good with a harness. Let one of the boys sit on their butts," Kim said with a giggle.

"Go for it, Brad. There's no use in trying to argue with my bull headed sister," Jack said.

Trent helped Kim into a harness and Molly helped Jack. Brad moved to the chair, taking a seat. Once everyone was strapped to their rod, the fun began. Nate shouted out orders, telling the kids when to move and what to do. Kim ducked under Brad's line and then Jack took his line over her head. They danced around the cockpit, doing everything they could to avoid crossing one another's lines.

Brad brought his fish close to the stern. Nate gaffed it, pulling the fish into the cockpit and down into the hold. Sally rinsed the deck so it wasn't too slippery. A few minutes later, Kim brought her fish to the port side. Trent grabbed the gaff and hooked the fish. He hauled it over the gunwale and onto the deck. Nate removed the hook so they could stow the fish.

Jack continued fighting his fish. He pulled back on the rod and stumbled when the line broke. Trent managed to catch Jack before he fell.

"Damn it!" Jack said as he shook his head.

"Don't worry about it, Jack, it happens. That's the first fish we broke off today," Nate said.

"What did I do wrong?" Jack said.

"Nothing at all. Sometimes it happens. It may have been a weak spot in the line, but the line chaffing against the fish's head probably caused it. When the fish turn and run, the line can go against them," Nate said.

Nate opened the hatch of the fish hold. He pulled out one of the smaller tuna and showed the team members how sharp the gill plate was. Each of them touched the fish, nodding when they felt the sharp edge.

Tom and Kathy came down from the tuna tower so they could see what Nate was telling the others. Eddie went to the lower station, turned on the camera, and watched what was ahead of them. Kathy and Tom listened to Nate repeat what he told the others.

"I think we should head in. We have fish to clean and the boat to wash," Jack said.

Everyone agreed that it was time to head back. Kim and Trent went to the bridge while the rest of the team began taking care of the rods. Standing at the wheel, Kim giggled when Trent wrapped his arms around her and played with her breasts. He slipped his hands under her top and massaged her firm mounds.

"Mmmm, that feels good. I thought you didn't like my boobs anymore," Kim said with a giggle.

"I love your boobs. I love you too," Trent said as he nuzzled the back of her head and kissed Kim.

"I love you too, Baby. Be a sweetie and unhook my bra," Kim said with a giggle.

"Hey, what are you two doing?" Kathy said as she came into the enclosed bridge.

"Trent's feeling me up. Wait your turn," Kim said.

"You're so stingy!" Kathy said.

Kim and Kathy laughed. Trent removed his hands and moved next to Kim. A few moments later, the rest of the group came up to the bridge.

"Where's Nate?" Kathy said.

"He's in the salon taking a nap," Jenny said. "I think we did great today. We can practice again when we get to North Carolina."

"I think we should leave a couple days earlier than we planned to. That way we can get more practice and try to find the fish," Kathy said.

"I don't think that would be a problem. Our parents should let us go if we ask them," Jack said. "I agree with Jenny. We should get there early so we can practice and make bait."

"I hope we can change our slip reservation," Eddie said.

"That shouldn't be a problem," Tom said. "It isn't like we're trying to make the reservation, we're just adding a couple days."

The group talked about the trip. Kim let Trent take the wheel so she and the other girls could start making a menu and a shopping list of the additional food they'd need. They sat at the table on the sundeck while the boys stood at the helm. Kim listed the days they'd be gone and the girls started making suggestions.

An hour later, Nate came up. He glanced at the chart plotter and said, "Looks like we'll be back in an hour or so."

"Yeah, do you want something to eat? I'm hungry," Eddie said.

"I could stand to eat," Nate replied.

Jack, Eddie, and Tom went below to prepare sandwiches. They stacked the food on trays, taking it back to the helm. Everyone grabbed something and sat down to eat. Nate told them a few tips about rigging and fishing for tuna.

Trent told Brad to take over when he was close to the house. Brad shook his head, telling Trent it was time for him to learn. Listening to Brad, Trent pulled the boat against the seawall. Eddie and Jack tended the lines, securing the boat to the pilings.

Everyone got off the boat and walked around. They saw the adults coming toward them and waved. Yoshi came over from the yacht to see if they caught anything. When Brad opened the fish hold, Yoshi became excited.

"We're having a feast tonight. I'll make sushi and tuna steaks on the grill. Help me get these fish to the cleaning table and I'll take care of them," Yoshi said.

Trent saw his mom and Andy walking toward him. He grinned when he noticed that they held hands.

"Hi, Mom, hi, Andy. Come see our fish," Trent said.

Andy and Jodie stepped onto the boat and looked at the fish. She turned to her son and said, "Those things are huge!"

"I know. Molly caught the biggest one," Trent said.

Andy asked the team how the rods and reels worked. He nodded as they told him they worked great and that they didn't have any troubles. Eddie made a comment about the rollers on the rods, telling Andy that they didn't hang up and that the line never jumped one of the rollers.

Yoshi, Brad, Eddie, Jack, and Tom pulled the fish out of the hold. They lined them up on the grass so Tom could take a few pictures before Yoshi cleaned them.

"What are we going to do with all of the meat?" Marge said.

"I will freeze some and can some. If you want to give any to your friends, let me know so I can package it properly," Yoshi said.

"I think that everyone should take some home," Anne said.

"I know I have room in my freezer," Ellen said.

Sarah, Jodie, and Laura agreed, telling Yoshi that they would take some of the fish too.

Yoshi and the boys took the fish to the cleaning table. Yoshi sharpened his knives against a steel, smiling as he gazed at the large tuna on the table. The men stood close, watching Yoshi as he started cleaning the fish.

Trent asked if he could try cleaning one of the smaller fish. Yoshi gave him a knife and showed him what to do. Taking his time, Trent cut one of the smaller fish into steaks. The other boys started washing and packaging the meat.

"How much of this do you want, Nate?" Jack said.

"I'll take a few steaks and a few jars of canned meat. I like the canned tuna as much as I like the steaks," Nate said.

"I need jars to can the meat," Yoshi said. "Someone needs to go to the store."

"We'll go, Yoshi. How many do you need?" Don said.

"I think five or six cases of pint jars should do," Yoshi said. "Wait, maybe you should get eight cases. If the kids do well at the tournament, we'll have more meat to can."

Don and the other men took off. They took the limo so everyone would fit in one car. Jack Waters gave Don directions to a store he felt would have what they needed.

"Have you heard anything about the shop?" Jenny asked her mom.

"Yes, Mrs. Akins sold the shop," Ellen said.

"Are you going to be able to keep your job? Do you know who bought the shop?" Jenny said.

Ellen, Sarah, Marge, and Anne chuckled. Jenny gave the four women a strange look.

"I'm going to keep my job, Honey. In fact, Mrs. Waters, Mrs. Graham, and Mrs. Lewis are going to work with me. We bought the shop," Ellen said.

"Are you kidding?" Jenny said.

"No, we're all partners," Ellen said.

"You too, Mom?" Kathy said.

"Yup, me too," Sarah said.

"That's so cool! Are we going to get a discount?" Kim said.

"We'll think about it," Marge said and then she laughed.

The women began talking about the shop. Jenny, Kathy, Kim, and Sally asked a few questions about their mothers' plans. Ellen told the girls what Don and Marc said and that they should be able to take over after the tournament.

"Are you still going to be able to go to North Carolina with us?" Jenny said.

"Yes, we're going," Ellen said.

"That's cool. We better get started on the boat. We have a lot to do," Kathy said.

The girls headed for the boat. The women walked to the patio and sat down.

"Andy said he was going to be able to go on the yacht with us," Jodie said.

"That's wonderful, Jodie. Are you two going to start dating?" Laura said.

"I think so. Andy said he wanted to make our relationship more than casual," Jodie replied.

"He's moving fast, isn't he?" Sarah said.

"I don't think so. I'm so ready to have a man in my life. Trent said he hopes I'm happy," Jodie said.

Chuckling, Marge said, "Does Andy make you happy?"

"He has so far." The women all laughed. "It's been a long time since I've felt so alive," Jodie said.

"It's funny how a good roll in the hay can do that for you, isn't it?" Sarah said. She glanced at the other women, thinking about her night with Don.

"The companionship is great too," Jodie said. "I didn't realize how alone I've been since my husband died. Andy has reminded me that I'm not dead and that I'm a woman."

"This is very sudden, isn't it?" Anne said.

"Yes and it's scary too. I just hope Andy wants something more than a friend with benefits. Although, that wouldn't be too bad," Jodie said.

"That's what I thought when I started dating Joel. Then he surprised me and asked me to marry him," Laura said.

Jodie chuckled. "I think it's a little early for me to think like that, Laura."

"Are you looking forward to the trip to North Carolina?" Anne said.

"Yes I am. I haven't been on a vacation in years. When we did go, it was always something close to home. We never had a lot of money for things like vacations and such. Don't get me wrong, we weren't poor."

Marge laughed and said, "I know exactly what you're saying. Before our windfall, we lived a very meager life. We didn't get to go on vacations or buy the things we wanted. There were times we couldn't buy the things we needed when we were first married."

"I think all of us went through that. It seemed that we couldn't get even, let alone get ahead. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing," Ellen said.

Don and the other men returned with the jars. They went to the cleaning table to see how Yoshi and the boys were doing. Yoshi told them that they just finished and were ready to take the meat to the house. Everyone grabbed one of the deep trays of fish and headed to the house. Yoshi told them to place the trays on the counter and he would take care of everything. The boys returned to the cleaning table to get the rest of the meat.

Nate told the teens he was heading out. He took a bag full of packaged tuna steaks, telling the group he'd get the canned meat later. Everyone thanked him for his help. Eddie offered to pay Nate, but he refused. He told the kids to do well at the tournament and to have fun.

The boys asked Yoshi if he needed any help with the fish. He told them he could handle everything so they went down to the boat so they could wash it down. The boys washed the outside of the boat while the girls took care of the inside. When they finished, they went to sit by the pool.

Jeri and April came down from their apartment and began helping Yoshi. They formed an assembly line, cutting the fish into chunks to can. Yoshi prepared the pressure canner and loaded it with sterilized jars. With the first batch of fish cooking, Yoshi began preparing dinner.

Yoshi announced that dinner was ready. He served sushi and then grilled tuna steaks with wild rice and a salad. Everyone complemented him on the meal. Jodie told her friends she'd never eaten sushi before and that she liked it.

At dinner, the team asked about leaving for the tournament a few days early. The parents talked amongst themselves for a few minutes before agreeing the team could leave when they wanted to.

"When do you want to leave?" Don asked.

"The tournament starts a week from Saturday. I'd like to get as many days of practice as we can. We need to find the fish and find an area where we can catch our bait," Eddie said.

Sally giggled and said, "We could leave tomorrow after our meeting with Mr. Levinson."

"I think that you should wait until the weekend, Honey. Why don't you kids plan to leave Saturday morning? That will get you to North Carolina on Monday and you won't have to run all night," Marc said.

"That's a good plan, Dad. What does everyone else think?" Tom said.

The team mulled over the idea and agreed that leaving on Saturday morning made the best sense. The parents all talked amongst themselves. They, too, felt that leaving a few days earlier than planned would be better.

"What about Fran and Randy? Aren't they supposed to come too?" Molly said.

"Yes, they're going to tape our fishing during the tournament. I talked to Fran yesterday and she told me that she and Randy would be here next week. Fran said that our new gear should be here in a couple days," Sally said.

"They can ride up on Tomiko or I'll fly them up," Don said. "Don't forget that the main purpose of the trip is the tournament, not the television show. You kids will have many opportunities to film your fishing."

"We know, Dad, but the tournament will be good to tape. It will give us footage about tuna fishing," Kim said.

"I'm not telling you not to tape the tournament. I'm saying that you should concentrate on fishing, not the show next weekend. You kids have taken on a lot and if you don't prioritize everything, you won't get anything completed," Don said.

"We'll make the taping secondary to the tournament, won't we?" Tom said as he glanced at his teammates.

The teens all nodded their heads in agreement. Joel told them that he finished the paperwork for the production company and that they should plan to meet as planned the next morning.

Jenny asked if the team could be excused so they could go to the boat and make sure they had everything ready for their trip. Their parents said it was okay.

The team got up and began clearing the table. They took the dishes into the house, rinsed them, and put them into the dishwasher. Yoshi, Jeri, and April went to the kitchen to finish the clean up.

"Andy, Jodie, we have a few things to go over. You're welcome to stay if you'd like," Joel said.

"We'll get everyone fresh drinks," Jodie said. Laura got up, telling Jodie she'd help.

"My accountant went over the books for Sheer Delights. He said the business is stable and profitable. There's some debt, but no more than normal. If you want my recommendation, I feel the purchase would be a good investment," Joel said.

"Did you make an offer?" Marc said.

"Yes I did. I called Mrs. Akins' attorney and told him what we talked about earlier. He feels that Mrs. Akins will accept the terms. If she does, we should be able to close by the end of the month," Joel said.

"I know that Mrs. Akins took out a loan to remodel the shop and buy new fixtures three years ago. Is that the debt you're referring too?" Ellen said.

"Yes it is. There are accounts payables for the inventory, but that's about it. All of utilities are up to date," Joel said.

"How much is she asking for the business?" Harry said.

"We offered three million for the business and the inventory. She asked for three million, seven hundred fifty thousand. I think that she's ready to get out," Joel said. "Three million is five times the book value of the business. That's a fair offer. Our offer includes a very low interest rate."

"I think that everything sounds good, Joel. If the girls are sure they want to own the business, we'll take it. That is if Mrs. Akins accepts our offer," Don said.

"What if she doesn't?" Ellen said.

"Mrs. Akins will make a counter offer if she doesn't like our offer. If she does, we'll take a look at it and negotiate," Joel said.

"How high are we willing to go?" Anne said.

Don chuckled and said, "We'll give her the full amount if that's the only way we can purchase Sheer Delights."

"Most people set the opening price higher than they're willing to accept. I suggested offering less than three million, but Don and Marc told me they didn't want to drag things out. As I said, I think Mrs. Akins is ready to sell and get out," Joel said.

"When do you think we'll know?" Sarah asked.

"We gave her until Friday," Joel replied. "Don't worry, we have everything under control."

Andy, Jodie, and Laura came back out with fresh drinks for the group. They sat down after passing the drinks out to their friends.

"Would you like us to go back inside? We were watching Yoshi can the tuna," Laura said.

"No, we're almost finished. That and we don't have any secrets," Marc said. "Joel was explaining where we were with our offer to buy Sheer Delights."

"I hope things work out for you guys," Laura said.

"We do too, Laura. This is very exciting," Ellen said.

Don went into the house, returning with Jeri and April. He asked them to join the group so they could go over the trip to North Carolina. Jeri assured the group that the boat was ready to go anytime they wanted to leave.

"The kids are leaving Saturday so they'll have a few days to practice. Are we still planning to leave on Tuesday?" Marge said.

"As I said, we're ready to go. You can leave whenever you'd like to. Yoshi has the menu finished and we have a few things to pick up, but other than that, were all set," Jeri said.

"Are you thinking of leaving earlier, Don?" Anne said.

"No, I think that we'll be fine if we leave on Tuesday morning. How early does everyone want to leave?" Don said.

"The earlier the better," Ellen said. "I'm looking forward to the trip."

"If I can make a suggestion, why don't you stay on Tomiko on Monday night and we'll leave very early on Tuesday morning. We can depart while you're sleeping," April said.

The group talked for a few minutes and agreed that staying on the yacht Monday night made sense. The women decided to pack the things they planned to take on Sunday. Jeri mentioned that Frank and Erin would be on the yacht too.

"Are they working out? I know you haven't had much opportunity to take the yacht out yet, but I've seen them working," Don said.

"I think they'll do fine. Frank and Erin are very willing to learn and work hard. They've learned their way around Tomiko and I feel they're ready," April said.

The sound of laughter caused the adults to look toward the pool. They watched their naked teenage children jumping into the water.

Shaking her head, Jodie said, "I can't believe how quickly Trent got over his shyness."

"I think that a gaggle of naked girls will do that for a boy," Marge said.

Everyone laughed and agreed. April asked if Don needed anything else, telling the group that she and Jeri were going to go help Yoshi when Don told her he didn't.

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going to take a dip with the kids," Sarah said.

The adults grabbed their drinks and went to the pool. Standing by the lounge chairs, they began stripping. Jodie stood next to Andy, waiting to see what he was going to do. He smiled at her and removed his shirt.

One by one, the parents jumped into the pool. They gathered close to their children, all of them laughing. Then, as if someone signaled it, a splashing fight broke out. The teens splashed the adults and their parents splashed back. The horseplay went on for about fifteen minutes before Marc called a truce.

Kim wrapped her arms around Trent. She rested her head against his chest, wiggling as he stroked her back. Jodie watched her son and Kim, smiling when Andy put his arm around her waist.

"Wild group, aren't they?" Andy whispered.

"Yeah, but they're fun too. This doesn't bother you, does it?" Jodie said.

"I could put up with most anything if I get to see you naked," Andy said and then he chuckled.

"Like this is hard to put up with!"

Making sure the water hid her action, Jodie moved her hand to Andy's crotch. She gave his penis a gentle squeeze and looked into his eyes. "I wish we could repeat last night."

"We can if you want to. I don't have any early appointments in the morning. I'd love to spend the night with you again."

"I would too, but I have to think about Trent." Jodie gave Andy's penis another squeeze and released him.

Turning Jodie so she could see Trent and Kim, Andy said, "I think he has his own agenda."

Jodie chuckled as she watched his son hugging and kissing Kim. They stood in neck deep water so she couldn't see what they did with their hands. From the looks on the two teens' faces, Jodie felt she had a pretty good idea.

Kim and Trent separated. They held hands as they walked over to Jodie and Andy. Jodie smiled, trying to hide her discomfort. This wasn't the first time she went skinny-dipping with her son, but she still wasn't completely at ease.

"Mom, can I stay here tonight?" Trent said. He diverted his eyes away from his mother's breasts.

Kim slipped her arm around Trent. She felt her body quiver as she held him next to her. Jodie glanced between Trent and Kim, smiling as she nodded her head.

"You can if it's okay with Kim's parents," Jodie said.

"Cool, I'll go ask them," Kim said. She started to drag Trent, but Jodie stopped her.

"I want to talk to you for a minute, Trent," Jodie said.

Andy smiled and said, "Would you like something to drink, Honey?"

Jodie blushed at his use of honey as she nodded her head. Trent grinned.

"What's up, Mom? I wanted to talk to you too," Trent said.

"Um, I wanted you to know that I spent the night with Andy last night. I'm going to go to his house again tonight."

"That's cool. Kim told me she loves me, Mom! Can you believe it?"

"How do you feel about her, Son?"

"I love her too. She is so sweet."

Jodie began chuckling. She could see the enchantment in Trent's eyes and hear his excitement in his voice. She remembered how she felt about Hal when she was younger. She also remembered the joy of being in love. Jodie didn't know if the infatuation between Kim and Trent and Kim would last, but then no one knows how long love will last.

Kim came back, moved behind Trent, and wrapped her arms around him. "Mom said Trent could stay."

Jodie decided to have a little fun at Trent's expense. She fought the urge to smile and said, "Where will you sleep?"

Giggling, Kim moved next to Trent. "With me," she said as a matter of fact.

Even though she knew that Trent would probably share a bed with Kim, Jodie wasn't prepared for the girl's quick, straightforward answer. It took a moment for her to gather her thoughts before she could respond. She and the other moms talked about honesty and the fact that the teens didn't lie to their parents. Jodie knew that the other parents told her that if Trent hung around with their children their outright truthfulness might shock her. Chuckling, Jodie realized the other women were spot on.

"Oh, I see," Jodie managed to say. "I wasn't expecting that answer even thought I sort of felt that's where Trent would sleep."

"My dad told me to never ask a question I didn't want an honest answer to. I won't lie, Mrs. McBride. No mater what you ask me, my answer will be the truth. I'm not ashamed of the things I do. If I were, I wouldn't do them," Kim said.

Jodie stared at Kim and smiled. "You should learn from her, Trent."

"I am learning, Mom. I won't lie to you, not anymore. I'm having too much fun to screw things up," Trent said.

"I want you to come home after you have your meeting tomorrow." Jodie moved closer to Trent so she could give him a hug.

It wasn't until their bodies pressed together that Jodie remembered she was naked. Her body stiffened, but quickly relaxed when Trent hugged her back. "I'll come home as soon as we finish, Mom. Do you know if Grandpa has gaffs and harpoons at the store? We need to pick up a couple gaffs and a harpoon before we leave."

"I'm not sure, but I can call him and ask. If he doesn't have them, I'm sure he knows where you can find what you need."

"You don't have to call him, Mom. I'll check tomorrow," Trent said. He released his mom and moved back to Kim.

"I have to call to let Grandpa know I won't be home tonight."

Jodie told Trent and Kim she was going to sit with the other adults. She left the pool and the two teens went to talk to the rest of their group.

"Are you okay, Honey? You have a very strange look on your face," Andy said as Jodie took a chair next to him.

"I'm fine, shocked, but fine," Jodie said. She took the drink from Andy and drank half of it.

"What shocked you?" Andy said.

"Well, you heard Trent ask if he could stay here tonight, right?" Andy nodded. "Kim asked Marge and she said it was okay. When Kim told me, I thought I'd have a little fun. I asked Trent where he planned to sleep. Kim told me that he was going to sleep with her."

Andy shook his head and chuckled. Marge overheard Jodie and started laughing. Looking around Andy, Jodie smiled at Marge. "Kim put me in my place, didn't she?"

"No, she answered your question, Jodie," Marge replied. She felt proud of her daughter.

"Kim told me that Don taught her to never ask a question that she didn't want an honest answer to. She also said she'd never lie," Jodie said.

"She better not lie to you or anyone else. Don taught all of us that lesson. He feels that honesty is one of the most important qualities a person can have. Don also told our kids that he'd never punish them for being honest," Marge said.

"What if they do something against the law?" Jodie said.

"Then the law will punish them. We've tried to teach them not to do anything they're ashamed of or that's illegal. So far, it's worked," Marge said.

"I knew the kids were special, but I didn't realize how special they are. I can tell you that Shimano is going to be proud to sponsor the fishing team. I hope you don't mind if I let my company know about them and their very unique outlook on things. They're ambassadors for our sport," Andy said.

"I don't mind, but I don't think you should tell Shimano about their personal activities," Marge said, causing everyone to laugh.

"I'll keep that part under my hat. Besides, our company cares about their fishing. The fact they are wholesome only adds to the appeal. If they do well at the tournament, I'm going to invite one of our vice presidents to meet them," Andy said. He looked across the pool and smiled. "I can't get over how close those kids are."

Kim and Trent stood with their kids around them. Trent kept his arm around Kim and told the others what happened with his mom.

"Kim told my mom that we were going to sleep together. I thought I was going to die," Trent said.

"Why, you're going to sleep with me, aren't you?" Kim said.

"Well yeah, but I wasn't going to tell Mom," Trent said. "You sure shocked my mom when you said it, Kim."

The rest of the teens laughed and teased Trent. "What's wrong with sleeping with someone, it isn't like you're going to do anything else, are you?" Jenny said.

Kim giggled. "That's right. If I was planning anything else, I would have told Mrs. McBride."

Trent looked at Kim and said, "You'd tell my mom we're having sex?"

"Sure, any of us would if our parents asked. It doesn't matter though, they know what we do," Kathy said.

Kim tried not to laugh. She gave Trent a hug and kissed his ear. "I didn't know you wanted to have sex tonight. Do you?" Trent grinned and nodded. "Okay, let's go talk to your mom."

Trent thought for a moment. He shrugged his shoulders and nodded. Kim giggled and kissed him again. "You'd do that? You'd tell your mom that we're going to have sex?"

Looking into Kim's eyes, Trent said, "No, I'd tell her we're going to make love."

"Awe, isn't he sweet?" Molly said.

"I think so," Kim said. She hugged Trent and kissed his cheek.

"I'm getting out," Jack said. He took Sally's hand and led her from the pool. The rest of the teens followed Jack and Sally, taking chairs on the opposite side of the pool from their parents.

The group talked about the day of fishing. They rehashed the things they learned while fishing with Nate, making suggestions on how to improve. After a half hour, Eddie stood up.

"I think we're going to head home. It's been a long day," Eddie said.

"What's up for tomorrow?" Kathy said.

"We have the appointment at Mr. Stone's office at ten. After that, we should make sure we're ready for our trip. We have to change our float plan because we're leaving earlier than we originally planned," Jenny said.

The teens walked around the pool, glancing at their parents as they went into the pool house. They split into two groups, went into the showers, and began rinsing the chlorine from their bodies.

Tom gave Molly a bottle of shampoo and told her to wash his hair. She giggled, stepped up on the bench, and poured some shampoo on his head. Tom put his hands on Molly's shoulders, pulled her close, and nuzzled her breasts while she worked her fingers against his scalp. He moved his hands to her bottom, kneading her cheeks and causing her to giggle.

"Why don't you do that for me?" Brad said to Jenny. He cocked his head toward Tom and Molly and grinned.

Giggling, Jenny jumped onto the bench next to Molly. Holding the shampoo, she told Brad to come closer. Jenny began washing his hair and Brad used his mouth to tease her breasts.

"Do you want me to wash your hair too?" Kim said to Trent.

"Sure," Trent said.

Kim stood next to Jenny and poured shampoo on Trent's head. He moved closer and, like Brad and Tom did to Molly and Jenny, he laved Kim's breasts. The girls finished washing their boyfriends' hair and told them to rinse.

Kim, Jenny, and Molly jumped off the bench and waited until the boys finished rinsing their hair. Trent took the shampoo and washed Kim's tresses. They shared a hug and kiss as the suds ran down her body.

The teens took turns washing each other, rinsed off, and left the shower room. They dried themselves in the common area and dressed.

"We'll pick you guys up tomorrow at nine thirty. After we go to Mr. Levinson's office, we can look for the additional gaffs and a harpoon," Jack to the team.

"That sounds good, Jack. Trent, do you think your granddad will have what we need?" Jenny said.

"I can call and ask," Trent said.

The group told their parents goodnight as they headed for the house. Trent used the kitchen phone to call Sid and ask about the gaffs and a harpoon. After telling his grandfather he'd see him the next day, Trent hung up.

"My grandpa says he has what we need. He said that he'd have everything ready for us tomorrow," Trent told the group.

Jack, Tom, Trent, Sally, Molly, and Kim stood in the driveway and told their friends goodbye. Brad, Kathy, Eddie, and Jenny climbed into Eddie's van and waved as Eddie pulled away.

"I'm going to bed," Kim said as she took Trent's hand. "It's been a very long day."

The group went into the guesthouse. They all said goodnight and went to their rooms. Kim stripped and climbed into bed. She moved over, making room for Trent.

Tom and Molly went to their room. He stood near the bed, smiling as Molly removed his clothes. She knelt on the floor, looked up, and rubbed Tom's penis against her cheek. He used both hands to grip her ponytail and pulled her mouth to him. She opened her mouth, moaning as he slid his penis in. Molly clamped her lips around Tom's shaft, gazing into his eyes as he slowly moved back and forth.

Molly continued sucking Tom until he pulled her up. He kissed her and guided her to the bed.

"Do you want me to finish sucking your cock?" Molly said.

Tom smiled and shook his head.

"Are you going to fuck me?"

"Not tonight, Baby. I want to cuddle and get some sleep," Tom said.

"Okay, anything you want, Tom," Molly said. She snuggled against him and gave Tom a kiss. "I love you, Tom."

"I love you too, Baby. Wake me up with a blowjob in the morning." Tom kissed Molly.

She giggled, nodded her head, and closed her eyes. Tom held Molly against him. He kissed her forehead and settled in for the night.

Eddie dropped Kathy and Brad off at their house. He hugged and kissed Kathy, telling her he'd see her in the morning. Jenny and Brad walked to the porch and stopped to kiss each other good night.

"When was the last time you and Kathy did anything together?" Jenny said.

Brad looked at Jenny and said, "I don't know. It's been a while."

Giggling, Jenny rubbed Brad's crotch. "She misses it, Baby. You know I don't care if you two want to have sex."

Brad chuckled. "Does someone want to fuck their brother?"

"Yeah, but that's not why I'm telling you this. Kathy mentioned it to me and I told her I'd tell you. You know I love you and Kathy." Jenny kissed Brad's nose. "You know darn well that if I want to fuck Eddie that I'd do it and wouldn't feel guilty about it."

Kathy and Eddie came up to the porch. They all said goodbye and Eddie told Brad he'd pick them up to go to Joel Levinson's office the next morning.

As Jenny and Eddie walked toward the truck, Brad said, "Hey Little Bit. Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

Jenny turned around and smiled. "Don't worry, I won't."

Eddie and Jenny climbed into the van and left. Brad opened the door for his sister and let her in.

"What was that all about?" Kathy said.

Brad wrapped his arms around Kathy and gave her a kiss. "Do you want me to tell you or show you?"

Giggling, Kathy said, "Hmmm, show me."

Brad pulled Kathy's top over her head. He unfastened her bra and removed it. Covering her breasts with both hands, Brad leaned close and kissed her.

"What do you think, Kathy? Want to fool around?" Brad said.

Kathy hugged her brother and nodded. On the way to their rooms, Kathy said, "I hope Mom and Dad don't get pissed off tomorrow."

"Why would they?"

"Because they might find out that you spent the night in my bed."

Brad chuckled and guided Kathy into her room. The siblings removed each other's clothes and climbed into bed. They came together in a heated kiss and began running their hands over one another's bodies.

Jenny followed Eddie into his bedroom. When he asked her what she wanted, Jenny said, "Do you know what Brad and Kathy are going to do tonight?"

Eddie laughed. "No, tell me."

Jenny stood in front of her brother and began unfastening his shorts. She pushed them and his underwear down his legs, knelt on the floor, and put his cock in her mouth. Jenny sucked and bobbed her head until Eddie's penis expanded. Standing up, she kissed Eddie and giggled.

Eddie helped his sister remove her clothes and tossed her onto the bed. He climbed between her legs, pushed them apart, and kissed her crotch. Sitting back on his heels, he smiled at her. Jenny reached for Eddie, pulling him up so she could kiss him.

"Sometimes I think we're biting off more than we can handle. We have the fishing team and the tournaments we have to fish. We're going to be producing a television show and, before too long, we're going to be in school," Jenny said.

"What do you want to do? I think we're fine and that all the things we have planned will be fun."

"I don't know what I want to do, Eddie. I love everything we're doing, but it doesn't give us any time to hang around with the other kids we know." Jenny gave Eddie a tender kiss. "Sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed."

"Is that how you're feeling now?"

Giggling, Jenny said, "No, right now I feel horny."

"Well I know the cure for horniness. If you want to, we can talk to everyone tomorrow. If you want to back off, I'm sure everyone will understand, Jenny."

"I don't want to make anyone pissed at me."

"Does that include you?" Eddie said. He wiggled against Jenny, rubbing his penis against her vulva.

"What do you mean?"

"You shouldn't make yourself unhappy trying to make everyone else happy." Eddie gave Jenny a kiss as he slipped his penis into her vagina.

"Mmmm, now that makes me happy! Do you remember the first time you fucked me?"

Eddie chuckled. "The way I remember it, you fucked me. Wasn't it you that shoved your pussy around my cock?"

"Details, details. It doesn't matter who did it to who first. Now, why don't you shut up and fuck me?"

"Can I talk and fuck you?" Eddie said. Jenny giggled and nodded. "Good. Sweetie, it's important that we all agree on the things we do. It isn't right that you feel bad in order to make everyone else happy."

Jenny sighed and pulled Eddie down so she could kiss him as he sawed his penis in and out of her. She didn't want to talk or think about the team or anything other than the wonderful feeling of having Eddie in her. Jenny began moving beneath her brother and meeting his steady thrusts.

Eddie and Jenny continued moving as one. After a few minutes, he pulled out of her vagina, flipped her on her stomach, and entered her again. Jenny let out a moan as Eddie began pumping in and out of her again.

"Oh I miss that," Jenny said as she cuddled with her brother, basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking.

"We keep saying we should do it more often, but we don't." Eddie gave Jenny a kiss. "I was beginning to think you didn't like fucking me anymore."

"Nothing could be further from the truth, Eddie. I miss it too." Jenny giggled and wiggled against Eddie. "To tell the truth, I love fucking! Making love with Brad is wonderful and doing it with you is beyond words. Please don't think I'm weird, but I also loved it when Jack fucked me."

"I don't think you're weird. Horny maybe, but not weird." Eddie hugged Jenny and gave her a kiss. He slipped his tongue into her mouth, causing her to moan. Pulling his head back, Eddie looked into Jenny's eyes. "Tomorrow, before we sign the papers for the production company, I think we should have a meeting to discuss how you feel. If we need to make a change, that's the time to do it."

"We don't have to do that," Jenny said.

"Yes we do, Baby. Your happiness is more important to me than anything and if you're not happy, we should talk about it. All of us should talk about it."

Jenny hugged Eddie as hard as she could. She buried her face into the crook of his neck and began to cry softly. Jenny felt overcome with love, love for her brother. As much as she felt she and Eddie should carry on the conversation, she couldn't.

Holding his sister against him, Eddie reached over to the lamp and shut it off. He stroked Jenny's back, whispering that everything would be okay. She nodded as she drifted to sleep.

Chapter 55


Kim woke Trent the next morning. They cuddled in bed, kissing and rubbing their hands over one another's naked bodies. Kim shifted so she could lie against Trent's chest and rested her head against his shoulder.

"You were amazing last night, Baby," Kim said.

"Why do you say that?" Trent replied, as he raked his fingers through Kim's long blonde hair.

"Because you were, that's why. I couldn't believe how long you lasted. You're getting good at making love." Kim squirmed and giggled. "I think I came four times before you did."

"I'm trying to learn how to control myself. I want to make you happy, Sweetheart."

"Trent, you make me very happy. You make me happy when we make love and when we have sex. You make me very happy because you're not trying to change me. If you haven't noticed, I happen to love sex. I love sex almost as much as I love making love to you."

"I'm trying to understand, Kim. It's just that everything with you guys is so different from the way I used to think things would be when I had a girlfriend. I know I keep saying it, but this is all so new to me."

"Yeah, I guess it would be different to someone who hasn't hung around with us for long. All I ask is that you keep an open mind and remember that no matter what happens, I love you," Kim said.

"I love you too. That's what makes it so confusing. I guess that if I want you for my girlfriend and if I want to be part of the team, I have to learn to accept things."

"When we discover new things and meet new people, we have to decide if we want to join in, or do something else. I don't want to change you and I don't want you to try to change me. If we have open minds, we can change ourselves, but we can't change anyone else."

"Well, I can tell you that I don't want to be the asshole I used to be. I'm glad I quit smoking and that I'm not giving my mom a hard time anymore. Everything is getting better, Kim, much better."

Kim giggled and gave Trent a kiss. "I'm glad you feel that way. I hate the smell of smoke and the way you used to taste when I kissed you. Now, I have to get up or I'm going to wet the bed."

Trent laughed as he pushed Kim off his body. They got up and went into the bathroom. Trent stood against the counter, waiting for Kim to finish. After taking care of his morning piss, they climbed into the shower.

Kim and Trent took turns washing each other and shared kisses. They laughed and played as they enjoyed the closeness. Finished in the shower, they got out and dried off. Kim wrapped a towel around her waist and headed for the kitchen. Trent went to the bedroom to put on clean clothes before joining her.

"I'm going to make coffee and then I'll get dressed," Kim said when Trent came up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her shoulder.

"I can make the coffee if you want to go," Trent said.

Kim turned around, gave Trent a kiss, and left the kitchen. He finished setting up the coffee maker and turned it on. Standing at the counter, he watched the coffee begin brewing.

"Good morning, Trent. I was going to make coffee, but I see you've already started it," Sally said.

Trent turned around, chuckling when he saw Sally standing in the kitchen stark naked.

"I don't like clothes," Sally said as she giggled.

"That's fine by me," Trent replied.

Sally took a seat at the table to wait for coffee. Trent began taking mugs from the cabinet and placed them on the counter. Tom came in, greeted Trent and his sister, and took a seat. A few minutes later, everyone was up and in the kitchen. They all got coffee and then went to the main house for breakfast.

As soon as they walked into the house, the teens could smell the aroma of hot muffins. They went to the kitchen and greeted the adults. Laura told them to sit down and she would get them breakfast.

After eating, Don and Marc excused themselves. They kissed their wives and told Marge and Anne that they would see them later. The two men left the house and drove to Joel's office for an early meeting.

The teens sat talking to Marge, Laura, and Anne for a few minutes. They helped clear the table and rinse the dishes before heading back to the guesthouse to wait until it was time to leave and meet their friends.

"My mom wants me to spend some time at home after our meeting so I'll drive my car to the meeting," Trent said.

"I'll go with you," Kim said.

"Tom and I will take his truck and meet you two there," Jack said. "We should get going."

Kim and Trent went to his car. He opened the door for Kim, closing it once she was in the car. He got in, started the engine, and gunned it. Kim giggled at the sound of the souped up motor.

Trent backed up and followed Tom out of the driveway. He stayed close so he wouldn't get lost on the way to Joel's office.

"I really like this car. It's so cool!" Kim said as Trent shifted gears.

"When we have time, I'll teach you to drive it," Trent said.

"That would be so cool! Aren't you afraid I'll mess it up?"

"No, it isn't that hard to drive. You just have to learn to shift."

Placing her hand on top of Trent's as he held the floor shifter, Kim said, "Can you teach me to shift while you drive?"

"Sure, just watch what I do."

The next time he stopped, Trent shifted into first. He explained how he held in the clutch and then eased it up when the light changed. As he shifted, he told Kim about the shift pattern. She kept her hand on his, watching Trent's every move.

At the next light, Trent removed his hand from the shifter and told Kim to shift. She shook her head, but he assured her she would be okay. Trent took off and when it was time, pushed in the clutch. Kim moved the shifter from first to second gear and he released the clutch.

"That was good. Now get ready to shift into third. Remember that it's an H pattern. You move the shifter up, over toward you, and up again."

Kim shifted when Trent told her to, giggling when she moved the shifter into fourth gear. At the next light, she shifted into first and waited for the car to begin moving again. For the remainder of the ride, Kim shifted the car.

Trent pulled into the parking lot behind Tom and parked his car next to Eddie's van. He shut off his car, jumped out, and ran around the car to open the door for Kim. She got out, gave him a hug, and giggled.

"Thanks for teaching me to shift," Kim said. She released Trent and told the others what she learned.

The team went into the building and up to Joel's office. The receptionist showed them to the conference room and asked if anyone wanted something to drink. Several of them asked for coffee and the rest asked for water.

"Mr. Levinson will be in shortly," the receptionist said as she served the beverages.

As soon as the receptionist left, Eddie stood up. He put his hand on Jenny's shoulder and glanced around the table.

"Jenny and I were talking last night and she told me that she's feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything that's going on right now. Jenny said that she thinks we're biting off a lot with the boat, the team, the production company, and soon, school.

"I thought it would be a good idea to talk about it before we signed the papers for the production company. How does everyone else feel?" Eddie said.

"I'm okay, Eddie. Last night I was tired and didn't think about what I said," Jenny said.

"That doesn't matter, Jen. If it's bothering you, I think we should talk about it," Brad said. He put his hand on Jenny's arm.

Jack excused himself, returning a moment later with his dad. Don stood near the door and Jack sat down.

"What's bothering you, Jenny?" Molly said.

"I don't know. It's just that we're so busy that I don't feel like I have any time to myself. We're always doing something together. I don't want to mess things up for everyone else, though. Don't worry, I'll be fine," Jenny said.

"Do you want to give up on the idea of the production company and the television show, or anything else?" Kathy said.

Tears began running out of Jenny's eyes. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and shook her head.

"May I say something?" Don said as he moved closer to the table.

The teens all nodded.

"Jenny, I think I understand what you're saying. To tell you the truth, I'm amazed that you kids find the time and energy to do everything you're involved in right now. That and you're all taking on more.

"The thing I think you're overlooking is the fact that not all of you have to do everything all the time. If some of you want to do something other than fish a tournament, so what? Any of you should be able to do what you want to whenever you want to do it.

"You have ten members of your fishing team. Most of the other boats I've seen only have three or four members. You could field a team if half of you wanted to miss one of the tournaments," Don said. He paused to take a sip of coffee and glance at the teens.

"It's important that you don't let the things you love doing become a chore. If any of you do, it will cause resentments. That will lead to fighting and then none of you will have a good time.

"In a couple months you'll all start school. I know I can speak for all of your parents when I say that if the fishing or the television program begins to cause your grades to slip, we'll put a stop to it. Fishing is fun, but your educations are more important.

"The fact that you kids are in relationships with each other also adds to the unique dynamic of your group. I don't have any way of proving it, but I seriously doubt that any other group of ten teenagers is able to get along as well as you kids seem to. You are truly special.

"I'm not going to tell you what to do. You have to figure it out for yourselves. If you want my, or any of the parents' advice or opinion, just ask. As far as what you kids are discussing, I think that if you all agree that it isn't necessary for everyone to do everything together you can still have fun fishing and doing the other things.

"As I said, not every one of you needs to fish every tournament or be in every episode of every television show if you decide to go through with the production company. If you think about it, adding the television show isn't going to change much. You're just going to tape what you usually do anyway." Don looked around and smiled. "I have to get back to my meeting. Mr. Levinson will be in shortly.

Don left the room. The teens all looked at each other and began smiling. Jenny cleared her throat and then giggled.

"So, would anyone be upset if I missed a tournament?" Jenny said.

"I'd miss you, but I wouldn't be upset," Jack said. "I never thought about it before, but my dad's right. We don't always have to do everything together. With school coming up, we might not be able to, and I wouldn't want the rest of you to miss doing something because I couldn't go with you."

The teens continued to discuss the future of the fishing team as well as them as a group. They all agreed that no one would chastise or be upset with anyone else if they decided to do something on their own. As they chatted and laughed, Joel came in.

"Okay, what's your decision? Are we going to form the production company or not?" Joel said.

"We're going through with it, Mr. Levinson. Where do we sign?" Jack said as he spoke for the group.

Joel began taking forms and documents out of a large portfolio. He started them around the table and explained what each one was. He told the team that he would have Fran and Randy sign them when they arrived in a couple days.

"So, when can we start taping our shows?" Sally said.

"You can start anytime you want to, Sally. Once we get the papers filed and a few other legalities taken care of, we can start marketing the show," Joel said. "If there isn't anything else, we're finished for now."

The teens thanked Joel and said goodbye. They went outside, agreeing to regroup at Sid's Tackle shop. Getting into their cars and trucks, they headed for the shop.

"Hi, Grandpa, how are you doing?" Trent said as he led his friends into the shop.

"I'm doing well today, Trent. How are all of you?" Sid replied.

The team greeted Sid and started looking around the shop. No matter how many times they went there, they liked perusing the items displayed.

"I have a few gaffs and a harpoon set aside for you kids to look at. Nate stopped by and told me what you would need," Sid said.

The teens gathered around Sid as he showed them the items. They picked three gaffs and one harpoon for the boat. Sid put protective covers over the sharp points on the gaffs and the harpoon.

"How much do we owe you, Sid?" Eddie said.

"These are on me. They're part of my sponsorship," Sid replied. "Just make sure you do well in the tournament."

"We'll do our best," Kathy said.

Tom took the items out to his truck and put them in the back of the SUV. He returned to the shop and began looking at the lures.

"Do we have all the tackle we'll need?" Tom said.

"I think so. If not, we can get it when we get to the tournament," Eddie said.

"How about those little jiggy things we used to catch bait? Do we have any of those?" Molly said.

Chuckling, Brad said, "No we don't. Do you think we should get some?"

"It would help if we're going to catch our own bait," Jack said. "Do you guys remember what we used?"

"I think so, but I'll call Nate and ask him," Jenny said as she pulled out her cell phone.

Jenny chatted with Nate, asking him which jigs they should have. He asked to speak to Sid and Jenny handed him the phone. Sid started writing on a pad and nodding his head. He gave the phone back to Jenny and she thanked Nate before hanging up.

Sid took a basket to one of the aisles. He began pulling packages of jigs from the rack, dropping them in the basket. A few moments later, he went to the counter and began adding up the cost. He made a note on a piece of paper, put the jigs into a bag, and handed them to Eddie.

"There you go, kids. I'll add these to my sponsorship tally. You kids still have money available if you need anything else," Sid said.

"I think we're all set, Sid. Thanks," Eddie said.

Trent took Kim into the back room to see if his mom was there. He saw Jane and asked about his mom.

"Hi, Trent. Your mom isn't here yet. She said that she would be in a little later," Jane said.

"Okay, thanks," Trent said. He introduced Kim and they went back out to the shop.

The team thanked Sid and left the shop. They gathered in the parking lot to make plans for the day.

"I have to go home for awhile," Trent said. "Mom said she wants to spend some time with me before we leave for the tournament."

"Why don't we plan to get together tomorrow afternoon? We can pack our things and spend the night on the boat. That way we can get underway the first thing Saturday morning," Jack said.

"That sounds good to me," Kim said.

The girls moved into a group to discuss what they planned to take to wear on the trip. Kim and Sally told them that they would make sure all of the uniforms were clean and ready to go. Jack and the other boys talked about the trip and about the meeting that morning.

"I hope Jenny is okay now," Brad said.

"I think she'll be fine, Brad. If you ask me, knowing that we don't always have to do everything together is a relief to me too. I wondered how things would shake out when we returned to school and now I think everything will be great," Eddie said.

The teens talked for a few minutes and then decided to leave. They agreed to get together the next afternoon and finish preparing for the trip to North Carolina. Tom, Jack, Sally, Kim, and Molly got into Tom's Expedition. They waved to their friends and pulled away.

Eddie and Kathy sat in the front seat of the van and Jenny and Brad sat behind them. As they pulled away from Sid's shop, they waved to Trent.

"Are you feeling better now, Little Bit?" Brad said. He reached over and took Jenny's hand in his.

"I feel much better, Baby. After Mr. Graham talked to us, I realized that I was over thinking things. How would you feel if I missed a tournament once in awhile?" Jenny said.

"It won't bother me, Sweetie. Maybe we'll miss together," Brad said.

Eddie chuckled and looked in the mirror. Kathy noticed and reached for him. Placing her hand on Eddie's leg, she said, "Things are going to be great you know. I think that knowing that we can do other things without anyone getting upset is great, but I also think that just knowing will relieve some of the stress. There were times I felt overwhelmed too, but I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to make anyone upset."

"We're guilty of something we all agreed to. We didn't talk and we let things fester," Eddie said.

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I know that's what I did. I can assure you that I won't let that happen again. The funny thing is how simple the solution was. Mr. Graham can sure put things into perspective, can't he?" Jenny said.

"Yeah, and all he did was point out the obvious," Brad said.

"Oh well, we have our answers for now, don't we?" Kathy said.

"You know, one of the things Mr. Graham said really hit home. The television show is just going to be a record of what we do. I don't think any of us are looking for a reality show with all the drama and bullshit that goes with most of them. Our show is going to be about ten friends fishing and having fun," Jenny said.

Kathy began laughing. "We won't be taping all of our fun, that's for sure!"

Eddie and Brad laughed at what Kathy said. Jenny giggled and said, "I don't know about that. I wouldn't mind making a movie; you know, one that we wouldn't be able to show anyone else."

"Don't you mean anyone except the team?" Kathy said.

"I thought they'd be in it," Jenny replied with a giggle.

"We'd better learn how to use the video equipment," Brad said.

The two couples laughed and began making comments about the idea of making a video. Eddie dropped Kathy and Brad off at their house and headed home.

Tom parked in the garage and everyone got out of the car. Molly went into the house to see her mom while the rest went to the guesthouse to change into shorts. A few minutes later, Molly came in and went to the room she shared with Tom.

"My mom said that I don't have to go home if I don't want to. What do you want me to do, Honey?" Molly said.

"I want you to stay with me as often as your mom will let you, Molly." Tom wrapped his arms around her and grabbed her butt.

"That's good, because I want to be with you as much as I can. It's going to suck when school starts and we can't stay together," Molly said.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, let's just have fun. We should go see what the rest of the guys are doing," Tom said.

"Do I have time to change?"

Chuckling, Tom nodded. He watched Molly strip down to her underwear and said, "Times up, you'll have to stay like that."

Molly giggled, shrugged her shoulders, and headed for the door. Tom laughed, watching her butt wiggle as she walked. He and Molly went to the living room and joined the others.

"Aren't you going to get dressed so we can go work on the boat?" Kim said when she saw Molly in her bra and panties.

"I have to stay like this. Tom told me I didn't have time to put anything else on," Molly said.

Laughing, Kim said, "Oh well, it sure doesn't bother me."

Tom gave Molly a smack on her bottom and told her to go dress. She giggled, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Make up your mind."

"You'd stay like that I if I wanted you to, wouldn't you?" Tom said.

Nodding, Molly said, "Of course I would, Tom. You know I would."

"Go get dressed."

Molly giggled and went to her room. She put on shorts and a top before heading back to the living room. The five of them went to the main house for lunch.

Don and Marc drove to Harry's boatyard. They went into the office and asked for Harry. The receptionist paged Harry, calling him to the office. When he got there, he greeted Don and Marc.

"What's up?" Harry said.

"Do you have a few minutes? We want to talk to you about Sheer Delights," Don said.

"Sure, do you want me to call Jack too?" Harry said.

"That would be a good idea. This is important to him too," Marc said.

Harry asked his receptionist to page Jack Waters. He led Don and Marc to the conference room and asked his receptionist to get them coffee. Jack came in, greeted Don and Marc, and sat down.

"Marc and I met with Joel this morning. Mrs. Akins accepted our offer," Don said.

"That's great, but I've been thinking about this. Isn't three million a lot for a lingerie store?" Harry said.

Don chuckled and said, "It's way too much for a lingerie store, Harry. However, the three million includes the real estate."

"I wasn't aware that Mrs. Akins owned the building," Harry said. "Ellen never mentioned it."

"The property is held by a shell company. She leases it to the business," Don said.

"Mrs. Akins doesn't only own the building that Sheer Delights is in, she owns most of the block," Marc said.

"So what does that mean to the women?" Jack said.

"Not too much. They'll own the business and Marc and I will hold the property. They will lease the store from our holding company. I wanted to tell you before we closed so you weren't surprised," Don said.

"So, how much is the business minus the real estate?" Harry said.

"Sheer Delights alone is about one hundred fifty thousand plus the inventory. Ellen said they have a couple of million in inventory, but that's at retail. The actual value is less than half of that. I didn't realize that underwear had the margins it does. It's like jewelry," Don said.

"When do you think you'll close?" Harry said.

"Joel said we should be able to take possession in about three weeks. We're buying the real estate on a very favorable land contract. The business is cash," Don said.

"Just how much property is there?" Harry said.

"It includes all but one of the buildings on the street. The jewelry shop on the far corner isn't part of the deal. The other five stores are rented and produce enough to pay the land contract. I don't know why Mrs. Akins wanted to sell the property, but I don't really care," Don said.

Jack laughed and said, "What the fuck, were you two born with silver spoons in your mouths?"

"Not hardly. Don's generosity is the reason my family is doing so well. It just seems that he manages to be in the right place at the right time," Marc said.

"Hell, if it weren't for you two, I would still be sitting on two boats. If I haven't told you, thanks for everything you've done for us." Harry pointed at Jack. "All of us."

"I'm just happy that we were in the position to do the things we have. I know the kids are having a blast with the fishing boat. Our kids were hell bent on owning and operating Tomiko, but now they're more interested in fishing. We don't care though. As long as they stay out of trouble, we're happy," Don said.

"When are you going to tell the girls?" Jack said.

"I haven't decided. Do you think we should have some fun?" Don said.

Laughing, Harry said, "What do you have in mind?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I told Joel not to say anything so it's a secret," Don said.

"We could wait until we're on our way to North Carolina. It might be fun to tease them while we're on the yacht," Marc said.

"This is your show, yours and Don's. We'll go along with anything you decide," Harry said.

"Well I hope we tell them soon. Sarah hasn't talked about anything else since the other women asked her to be their partner." Jack laughed. "I think she's brushing up on her blowjob skills. She won't leave me alone."

"As if you mind," Harry said, and then he laughed.

"We better get going. Marge told me she wants to have dinner tonight as a family. I think she's a little apprehensive about the kids heading to the tournament without an adult on the boat. I told her that they can take care of themselves, but you know how mothers can be," Don said.

"Okay, we'll see you two on Friday evening. I know Ellen and Sarah want to spend some time with the kids before they leave Saturday morning," Harry said.

The men shook hands and then walked outside. They said goodbye and then Don and Marc climbed into their car.

"Are we doing the right thing here, Harry? What if the girls don't make a go of the shop?" Jack said.

"I'm not worried about it, Jack. I know that they'll work hard and be successful. If I thought I would fail, I would have never bought this place. It was hard work, but the fruits of my efforts are starting to show. We're almost out of debt and have enough work to last over a year. You have been a great asset to the operation and I appreciate everything you're doing."

"Thanks, Harry. I'm doing my best. This has been the best job I've ever had," Jack said. "Sometimes working with friends doesn't work out, but we've been able to keep business and friendship separate."

"I agree, and I feel that the girls will be able to do the same thing. I know that Ellen is looking forward to owning the shop. Like Sarah, it's about all she talks about now. She told me that the four of them have a lot of ideas to grow the business," Harry said.

Jack Waters and Harry headed toward one of the sheds to check on the progress of the latest project. They were about ready to flip the new one-hundred foot yacht and begin working on the superstructure.

Jack, Kim, Tom, Sally, and Molly finished their lunch and relaxed on the patio. Laura came outside and asked if they needed anything. The teens told her that they were set.

"We should go see how things are on Tomiko. We haven't spent much time with the yacht," Jack said.

"I know and I feel a little guilty about it," Tom said.

The five teens walked down to the seawall and over to Tomiko. Kim yelled out, asking if anyone was aboard. Jeri came out to the deck and laughed.

"Come aboard," Jeri said and she opened the hatch.

Kim led the group up the ramp and onto the yacht. She giggled when Jeri shook her head and said, "You don't have to ask for permission to come aboard. This is your yacht."

"I know, but it's fun," Kim said with a giggle. "We wanted to come see how things are going. Are you ready for the trip to North Carolina?"

"Yes, we're ready." Jeri opened the cabin door, holding it for the teens.

April came into the main salon and said hi to the group. She invited them to sit down and offered them cold sodas. Erin came into the salon carrying her cleaning supplies. She smiled at her friends and said, "Hi."

"Hi, Erin. How are you and Frank doing?" Sally said.

"Great, Sally. How about you? You never come over to see us," Erin said.

"I know and I'm sorry. We've been busy," Sally said.

"No problem, we've been very busy too. We're getting the boat ready for our first long trip," Erin said.

"Where's Frank?" Jack said.

"He's below in the engine room. Jeri told him to make sure everything is secure," Erin said. "April, can I show my friends my quarters?"

Smiling, April nodded. Erin told her friends to follow her down to the crew's quarters.

"This is Frank's and my stateroom. Jeri said we could have it even though it's supposed to be for the captain. Jeri and April's stateroom is the one adjacent to the pilothouse." Erin opened a hatch to another crew's stateroom. "This is Yoshi's stateroom when he stays aboard."

"I like how you've decorated this area! It's nice and homey," Kim said.

Jack and Tom went into the engine room to say hi to Frank. They startled him, but as soon as Frank saw who it was, he greeted his friends. He told Tom and Jack what he'd been doing and showed them around the spotless engine room.

"How do you like living with Erin?" Tom said.

"It's absolutely amazing, Tom. I think we're going to get married someday soon." Frank smiled.

"That's cool. Have you two been talking about it?" Jack said.

"Yeah, we've talked about it a lot lately. We both love each other and we love our jobs. Thanks for thinking of us," Frank said.

"We're glad it's working out for you guys," Tom said.

Jack and Tom told Frank that they'd talk to him later. They left the engine room and went to find the girls. Kim, Sally, Molly, and Erin stood in the common area of the crew's quarters hugging. Tom nudged Jack, leaned close, and said, "I think Erin told the girls what Frank told us."

Molly saw Tom and grinned. Sally giggled and told the boys Erin's news. Jack and Tom congratulated Erin and then told her that Frank had told them.

Frank came out of the engine room and washed his hands. All of them went up to the main deck and milled around in the salon. Kim heard a girl's voice and asked Erin who it was.

"She's Yoshi's cousin. He brought her here to show her the yacht," Erin said.

Yoshi and the girl came out of the galley and into the passageway. When Yoshi saw the teens, he took the Japanese girl's hand. As soon as the girl saw Kim, Sally, Tom, and Jack, she froze. Kim and Sally stared for a moment and then let out a screech.

"Yuko!" Kim and Sally shouted at the same time.

"Kim, Sally, oh my God! What are you doing here?" Yuko said as she ran toward the two girls.

Yuko hugged Kim and Sally. She began crying and shaking. Yoshi came over and put his hand on Yuko's shoulder.

"Kim, Jack, Tom, and Sally own the yacht. I work for them," Yoshi said.

Yuko turned and looked at her cousin. They spoke in Japanese for a moment and then Yuko turned back to the two girls.

Kim and Sally led Yuko to a settee and they all sat together. Looking up at her brother and Tom, Kim said, "Do you remember Yuko?"

Tom and Jack looked at the girl for a moment and then they nodded. Yoshi came over and stood near the girls.

"We met Yuko when we lived in Michigan. We went to school together for a little while," Sally said to Yoshi. She turned to Yuko. "What are you doing here? Have you seen Crystal?"

Shaking her head, Yuko said, "No, I haven't seen her. After my father sent me back to Japan, she and I tried to maintain our relationship, but after a few weeks, the letters started becoming scarce. In the last letter I received, she told me she had found someone else. She said that she and her new friend planned to move to California.

"My family tried to arrange a marriage for me, but I didn't want to marry the man they selected for me. I contacted Yoshi and he sent me a plane ticket. I got here a week ago," Yuko said. She wiped her tears from her eyes and tried to smile.

"Our family is very traditional. When Yuko called me, I knew that she wouldn't be happy. When we used to live in Japan, we were close. I didn't want Yuko to be unhappy so I asked her to come here," Yoshi said.

"That's so sad. I can't believe that your family treats you like that," Jack said.

Molly came over to Tom. He put his arm around her waist and introduced her to Yuko. The two girls said hi.

"I know you don't understand, Jack. Your parents and family are so different from mine. My father couldn't accept I was in love with Crystal. That's why he sent me back to Japan. He felt I had shamed our family.

"Back in Japan, I started dating boys so my father would let me return here, but he said he could never trust me again. He told me that after I married the man he selected and had a child, he'd think about it. After living in the United States, I couldn't do it. I lived too long in this country to accept the old ways of my family," Yuko said.

"What are you going to do now?" Kim said.

"Yoshi is going to help me find a job. For now, I'm going to live with him. Once I get on my feet, I'll find an apartment," Yuko said.

Grinning, Kim and Sally looked up at April at the same time. They got up and took April and Jeri to another room so they could talk.

"Do you have anything that Yuko could do on the yacht?" Kim said. "I know that you run the yacht, but she's a friend of ours."

"I already talked to Yoshi. He told me that Yuko cooks and is very willing to learn and do anything. Jeri and I are willing to give her a shot," April said.

"Thanks," Kim said.

"Yeah, thanks," Sally said.

"Do you want to tell your friend?" Jeri said.

"No, you do it. After all, she's going to be working for you," Sally said.

The four of them returned to the salon. Jack and Tom were telling Yoshi about the weekend Yuko spent at their house up north. Kim and Sally sat next to Yuko, listening to her tell her cousin about the first time she saw a naked male.

"So, I guess you guys were close," Molly said.

"We were friends, but not too close. Before we really had a chance to know Yuko, her father sent her back to Japan," Kim said.

"I'm never going back there again," Yuko said.

"Yuko, Jeri and I would like to offer you a job on the yacht. Your duties will include helping in the galley, serving our guests, and many other things. It'll be hard work when we're on a charter," April said.

Yuko looked up at April and Jeri. She turned her head, looking into Yoshi's eyes. He nodded and she screeched. Jumping up, Yuko thanked April and Jeri.

"I promise I'll be a good employee and make you glad you gave me a chance," Yuko said.

"I hope so, Yuko. We have a trip next week and you'll have to learn things very quickly. We're leaving for North Carolina on Tuesday morning. Our guests are the fishing team's parents," Jeri said.

"Is it okay if we take Yuko to the house to see our parents?" Kim said.

"Yes, Yuko can get started tomorrow," April said.

Kim and the rest of the teens led Yuko off the yacht. They walked over to their property and pointed at the fishing boat. "That's our fishing boat. We're fishing in a tuna tournament next weekend in North Carolina. That's why our parents are going up there," Kim said.

"This is your house?" Yuko said as they walked toward the house.

"Yeah, we moved down here a while ago and we're going to live here now," Sally said.

"This is very beautiful, and very big," Yuko said.

Kim took Yuko's hand, pulling her into the house. She called for her mom and Marge answered, telling Kim she and the others were in the living room. Yuko giggled as Kim led her into the huge room.

"Look who I found, Mom," Kim said.

Marge looked at Yuko and smiled. She got up, moved closer, and hugged the young girl. "Hi, Yuko, it's nice to see you. What are you doing in Florida? Kim and Sally told us you returned to Japan."

"It's a very long story, Mrs. Graham." Yuko saw Anne and smiled. "Hello, Mrs. Lewis. It's nice to see you again."

Anne gave Yuko a hug and said, "It's nice to see you again, too."

"Mom, we're going to go talk for a while. We'll be outside," Kim said. She took Yuko's hand and headed outside.

"This is too much! I'm overwhelmed," Yuko said as she followed Kim, Sally, Molly, Tom, and Jack out to the patio.

The teens sat near the pool and began talking about what had happened since they saw each other the last time. Kim and Sally told Yuko about moving down to Florida and the fishing team. Yuko didn't say much about what had happened to her after her father sent her back to Japan.

As they talked, Yoshi, Jeri, and April came over to the pool to join them. A few minutes later, Don and the rest of the parents came outside and sat with the group.

"We hired Yuko to work on Tomiko. She's going to help Yoshi in the galley and also help with the other duties," April said.

"That's great, April. You said you wanted to hire someone else. Yuko, have you ever worked on a yacht before?" Don said.

"No, Mr. Graham, but I'm a hard worker and will do whatever April wants me to do. In Japan, I worked in a restaurant and I know how to cook," Yuko said.

"Do you get seasick?" Anne said.

"No, I've been on boats before and it never bothered me."

"When did you come back to America?" Marc said.

"I arrived here last week, Mr. Lewis. I'm staying with Yoshi for now. Yoshi is my cousin," Yuko said.

Yuko looked around. She stared at the swimming pool and began laughing.

"What's so funny?" Yoshi said.

"I was just thinking about the last time I was in a swimming pool with these people. It was very enlightening," Yuko said.

"What happened?" Yoshi asked his cousin.

Yuko blushed as she told Yoshi and the others about the weekend in Michigan. Kim and Sally added to the story, making everyone laugh.

"As I remember it, it was the first time you ever went skinny dipping in mixed company," Sally said.

Yuko nodded and blushed. "Yes, in fact, that was the first time I ever saw a naked man. That weekend, I saw a bunch of naked men."

"That must have been embarrassing," Yoshi said.

"It was at first, but I quickly got over my embarrassment. I was never treated so well. I haven't been treated that well since that weekend."

"What happened to Crystal?" Tom said. "I thought you two planned to move down here together after high school."

Yuko nodded. "Yes, that was our plan, but it didn't work out for us. The weekend we were supposed to go to Kim's house for the pajama party something happened. My father wouldn't let me go because there weren't going to be any adults there. Crystal came over that Saturday and we spent the day together.

"My parents were supposed to be out all evening, but they came home early. They walked into the house and caught Crystal and me kissing and fooling around. My father called us names and threw her out. Two days later, he sent me back to Japan to live with my grandparents."

"When did you decide to move back to the States?" Anne said.

"When I returned to Japan, my older brother arranged dates for me. He told me that my father planned to cure me. Then, after going out with several men, my brother introduced me to a man my father said I was to marry. As soon as I could, I contacted Yoshi and he sent me a plane ticket so I could escape," Yuko said as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"What do you mean when you said your father wanted to cure you?" April said.

"My father felt that because I liked girls, I was sick. He and my brother made sure that I would experience a man and told me that it would cure me from my sickness."

"What happened? They didn't rape you or anything, did they?" Kim said.

"No, at least not physically. The first man my brother made me go out with was a friend of his. The man took me out several times before we went to my brother's house for a dinner. They served me alcohol and I became drunk. Before the night ended, the man seduced me. I remember hearing my brother on the telephone telling my father that I wasn't a virgin." Yuko began crying. Kim moved closer to her, giving her a hug.

"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to," Kim whispered in Yuko's ear.

Yuko nodded as she returned Kim's tender hug. The rest of the group sat quietly, watching Kim comfort her friend.

"The village we're from is steeped in old traditions. Things there are much different from America. Women have little or no say in things. The men feel the women are to be subservient and they treat them as objects. It isn't uncommon for a father to arrange a marriage for his daughter.

"Many of the young girls leave the village as soon as they can. With television, the Internet, and other things, they soon realize that the rest of the world is different. When I lived there with my family, the men didn't allow the women and girls to wear pants. They wore traditional dresses.

"The men and boys could dress and act as they wanted to, but not the women. Before I went to study in Tokyo and then Europe, I thought our ways were normal. Now I realize just how backwards the customs and traditions are. Because most of our village is poor, many of the people are destined to live there for their entire lives," Yoshi said.

"Does your father know you're back in America?" Don said.

"I'm not sure, but I think he probably knows. When I left, I wrote a note to my mother and told her what I planned to do," Yuko said.

"Why didn't your mother help you when your father wanted to send you back?" Tom said.

Yuko shook her head. "That's not our, or should I say, their ways. A woman never challenges her husband or father."

"Yuko, we're glad you're here. If you need anything, please come see me," Don said.

"Thank you, Mr. Graham."

"I think we should all go out for dinner. Jeri, why don't you go get Erin and Frank so they can join us?" Marge said.

"That's a great idea, Sweetie. I'll go make a few calls and see if I can make a reservation. How many will there be?" Don said.

Marge used her fingers to add up the people. "We'll have sixteen with Laura," Marge said.

Don went to the house to make a reservation at one of the restaurants he liked. Jeri went to the yacht to tell Erin and Frank to get ready for dinner. A half hour later, the group got into the limo and headed for the restaurant. They sat at a long table and enjoyed a great meal.

Back at the house, the parents went in to have a drink. Jeri and April headed for the yacht after thanking Don and Marc for taking them to dinner.

"Come with me, I'll show you our house," Kim said to Yuko.

"Don't you live there?" Yuko said as she pointed at the main house.

"No, we live in the old guesthouse," Sally said.

The group walked to the guesthouse and went inside. Kim, Molly, and Sally showed Yuko and Yoshi the house. Frank, Erin, Jack, and Tom waited in the living room.

"This is my room," Kim said as she pointed into her bedroom. "That's Tom and Molly's room and this is Jack and Sally's."

Yuko gave Kim a strange look. Kim giggled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Who wants to take a swim?" Kim said as the teens all gathered in the living room.

"I'd love to, but I don't have a bathing suit," Yuko said as she and Kim stood in the kitchen.

"We have suits in the pool house, but we normally don't wear them," Kim said.

Yuko laughed and said, "Some things don't change, do they?"

Smiling, Kim shook her head. "Um, we don't have to go skinny dipping if you don't want to do it with Yoshi here."

Yuko glanced out toward the living room. She moved closer to Kim and lowered her voice. "It won't bother me, Kim. Um, Yoshi and I share his bed."

"I thought you liked girls?" Kim said with a giggle.

"I do, but I like boys too. After what happened in Japan, I found out that I liked sex with men. My brother's friend was a very patient lover, even if he and my brother got me drunk the first time.

"When I came back and moved in with Yoshi, I decided that I wanted to have sex with him. The first two nights, he slept on the couch. The third night, I showed him that I wanted him to share his bed with me. Since then, we've been lovers," Yuko said.

"Do you want to ask Yoshi if it's okay for you to go skinny dipping?"

"I don't have to ask, Kim. This is America! I don't have to do what my father or any other man tells me to do if I don't want to do it. Is it okay for you to swim naked with the help?" Yuko said.

"Yuko, even though you, Erin, Frank, Yoshi, Jeri, and April work on the yacht, we're friends too," Kim said.

"If you say so, Kim. I remember that you guys are very different from anyone else I've ever met." Yuko giggled. "Are Jack and Sally a couple?"

"Yes, they sure are. Those two have been for a while now. I have a boyfriend. You'll get to meet Trent and the rest of our friends tomorrow," Kim said. She gave Yuko a hug. "Did you say you liked boys too?"

"Yeah, but I still like girls. I haven't been with a girl since Crystal, but I still think about it. I still think about you and that night at your house when the three of us fooled around. That was wild!" Yuko said.

"Let's go before they come in here looking for us," Kim said. As much as she wanted to renew her friendship with Yuko, Kim wanted to talk to Trent first. She didn't want his permission, but she had told him she'd never do anything without talking to him first.

The teens went through the house to the patio. Jack asked if they should invite Jeri and April to swim with them. Kim nodded so Jack trotted toward the yacht.

Kim and Sally started removing their clothes. Yoshi moved close to Yuko and looked into her eyes. She giggled and began removing her top.

"Are you going to swim naked?" Yoshi said. "I know that everyone here does it, but I didn't know that it was something you'd do."

"I don't have any problem with it, Yoshi. Didn't you hear me when I said that the first time I went skinny dipping was with them?"

"I was just making sure. I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do, Yuko," Yoshi said as he began removing his shirt.

"Stop worrying and get naked," Yuko said and then she giggled. "Honey, from now on I plan to do whatever I want to do. If you're uncomfortable swimming naked, don't do it. Me, I love it! Kim and her family were the ones that taught me that there's a difference between going naked and sex. You have no idea how great these people are."

Chuckling, Yoshi said, "Oh, I don't know about that, Yuko. Don't forget that I work for them. I think you'll find that this will be the best job you'll ever have. I know it's the best job I've ever had. I don't only cook on the yacht, I do almost everything. Jeri, April, Erin, Frank, and now you, are a team. We all have primary duties, but we all pitch in to help each other too."

"I just know that everything is going to be wonderful now, aikouka," Yuko said, using the Japanese word for lover.

Everyone finished undressing and started jumping into the pool. Jeri and April came from the yacht, stripped, and joined the rest of the group. They swam, splashed each other, and then gathered in the shallow end of the pool.

April looked at Yuko and said, "We have to get you uniforms. Maybe tomorrow we can go to Ellen's shop and place an order. For the trip next week, you can borrow tops from Jeri and me. We'll pick up shorts and skirts that will work until our order comes in. I don't think it will be too formal next week."

Yuko nodded and said, "Whatever you think is best, April. I'm small like you and Jeri so your tops should fit me."

Jeri came over near April and Yuko. She asked the rest of the crew to follow her out of the water so they could talk. Once everyone sat together, Jeri glanced at them and chuckled.

"This is the first time I've held a meeting with everyone naked," Jeri said and then she smiled. "First of all, I want to welcome Yuko to the crew. The rest of us have been together for a while now and we're getting our duties down pat. Yuko, you have a lot to learn in a very short time, but I wouldn't worry about it.

"What I wanted talk about now is how we behave on the yacht when we have clients and their guests aboard. Always remember that our clients pay a lot of money to charter the yacht and they expect us to treat them special. Tomiko is for all intent and purpose a floating five-star hotel.

"April and I demand that our crew perform professionally at all times. We don't want to see any grab-ass or anything else between the crewmembers. What you do in your quarters is your business, but on deck, we won't tolerate anything except your best. Any questions so far?" Jeri said.

Erin, Frank, Yuko, and Yoshi shook their heads. Then Yuko asked, "What's the difference between a client and a guest?"

"That's a good question, Yuko. As far as our charters go, the client is the person or persons paying for the charter. Everyone else is their guests. Regardless, we treat everyone the same and the names are interchangeable.

"Good, now there is something else. Something that is one of the most important things you have to remember. On the yacht, you are all deaf and blind. No matter what you see or hear, you never react. I don't care if two men are going at it on the deck, ignore it and go about your business.

"One of the keys to being a great charter is our ability to be very discrete. It's none of our business what our clients choose to do. Again, ignore what you see and never tell anyone about the things you may see or hear.

"That doesn't mean the clients are free to take liberties with the crew. If you feel one of the clients is making unreasonable demands, come see April or me. That goes for the way they behave too. If anyone does anything inappropriate, see April or me and we'll take care of it.

"If you have to go into a stateroom, make sure you knock first. After knocking, wait for a response. If no one responds to your knock and you go in to find that someone is in the head, leave. Each stateroom has a 'do not disturb' sign that the guests should hang on the outside of the door, but sometimes they forget. Again, be very careful and if you happen to see something, ignore it.

"When our clients come aboard, April and I will give them a brochure that explains almost everything. We will go over the safety procedures and a few other things before we depart. Even though we give them the rules, sometimes they forget. That's especially true if our clients have been drinking.

"We are all on call twenty-four hours a day. If our client wants something, we get it for them regardless of what time it is. There will always be someone standing watch to take care of them. If Yoshi is sleeping and our client wants to eat, get him up if it isn't something you can take care of," Jeri said.

April picked up at this point. "Jeri and I normally talk to the crew about living in close quarters, but I don't think that's going to be a problem. Just remember that for the crew, privacy is at a premium. The crew's quarters are tight and all of you will have to learn to deal with that.

"We will change the linens every day and more often if our clients request it. The same goes for the towels in the staterooms. I want you to make sure that there are always clean towels and spares in each room.

"There are laundry bags in each stateroom with instructions to leave them in the passage way if our clients require us to wash their laundry. If you see a bag, take it to the crew's quarters, wash the clothes, and then return them to the stateroom. Make sure to wash the laundry bag too.

"At all times the yacht is kept spotless. If you see a smudge, a fingerprint, or anything else, take care of it the moment you see it. Don't wait until you're cleaning. I want the decks vacuumed at least twice a day and the staterooms kept as if they hadn't been used.

"Our clients tend to spend most of their time on deck so we'll have access to the staterooms. During meals is a good time to check the rooms. Erin can show Yuko where we store everything so she'll be able to replace used items and supply our clients if asked for something," April said.

Yuko asked a few questions about her responsibilities. Jeri and April answered Yuko and told her that Erin, Frank, and Yoshi would help. Once she felt everyone was comfortable, Jeri told the crew they could go back into the pool.

"That seems easy enough," Yuko said to Erin as they used the steps to enter the pool.

"It isn't too bad, Yuko. April says that if we keep the yacht clean, it doesn't take too much to keep it that way. Even though we've never taken her out on a charter, we clean Tomiko every day, inside and out," Erin said.

"I'm looking forward to learning and becoming a part of the crew. Please tell me if I make a mistake," Yuko said.

Erin giggled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. If you make a mistake, someone will tell you about it. They don't do it to be mean though. Everyone wants everyone else to do their best."

"Is everything okay?" Kim said as she came over to talk to Yuko.

"Kim, I don't think things could be any better. Jeri and April just went over some of the things I need to know about working on the yacht. I'm so excited that I could cry," Yuko said.

"I just know that you'll do great."

Nodding, Yuko said, "Kim, I can't believe how nice everyone is to me. I'm at a loss for words to express how I feel. A few hours ago, I was afraid that things wouldn't work out for me. I was scared that I wouldn't find work and would be a burden for Yoshi. Now I feel that all of my prayers have been answered.

"I found friends that I never thought I would see again. I'm with Yoshi, and I have a job."

"How long have you liked Yoshi?"

"Not that long. He left our village when I was very young. My family labeled him as a troublemaker because he left. We wrote each other once in a while, but that was it. Then, when I contacted him to help me, he didn't hesitate. He arranged my flight and paid for everything."

"That's so cool! I think it's fate that you found us, Yuko. Do you miss Crystal?"

"No, not anymore. It hurt when she told me she found someone else, but then everything happened in Japan and I got over it. Please don't think poorly of me, but after I had sex with a man, I found that I like it. Maybe I like it too much."

Kim giggled and gave Yuko a hug. "Sweetie, I don't think there is such a thing as liking sex too much. You'll find that none of us judges anyone on how they feel about sex."

"I wish we could be alone for a little while," Yuko said as she returned Kim's hug.

"Yeah, me too, but I can't. I have to talk to Trent first."

"Why? Does he tell you what you can and can't do?"

"No, it isn't that at all. I promised him that I wouldn't fool around with anyone else unless we talked first." Kim giggled and kissed Yuko on the cheek. "I don't think he'll care, but Trent will probably want to watch."

Giggling, Yuko shrugged her shoulders. "I think Yoshi would like to watch too. He knows about Crystal and me. When I tell him about the things we did together, he gets very excited."

"I think all boys are the same."

"Yeah, isn't it wonderful?"

"That it is."

"Hey you two, get a room," Sally said as she and Molly came over.

"We're thinking about it," Kim said as she released Yuko.

"What's up?" Sally said.

"Nothing, we're just catching up. Where are the guys?" Kim said.

"They went to work out. Jack said something about being ready for catching big tuna," Molly said.

"Jeri and April took off. I think they want some alone time," Sally said.

Yuko looked at Sally and raised her eyebrows. Sally, Kim, and Molly giggled.

"Jeri and April are a couple, Yuko. They have been as long as we've known them," Kim said. "They told us they like boys too, but I've never seen either of them with one."

"I wonder if they ever mess around with Yoshi," Yuko said.

"I wouldn't know. They've never said anything to me, but then they probably wouldn't say anything," Kim said.

"I'm feeling waterlogged. I think I'm going to go watch the guys workout," Molly said.

"Yeah, I've been in the pool long enough too," Kim said.

The four girls got out of the pool. They stopped by the lounge Erin was sitting in and told her that they were going to shower and go see what the boys were doing. Erin got up and followed them into the pool house. All five girls went into one of the shower rooms and began rinsing their hair. They washed themselves, dried off, and dressed before heading to the new building to see the boys.

"This is nice," Yuko said when she entered the large exercise room.

"Yeah, we try to work out every other day," Sally said.

The girls watched the guys working on the machines. Jack noticed them and said, "You guys should workout too. Don't forget, those tuna are big and hard fighting."

Kim nodded and began stretching. She removed her top, telling her friends it was too tight. Sally and Molly also began warming up.

"Would you like to workout with us?" Yoshi said to Yuko.

"I've never done it before."

"That's okay, we'll teach you. They let the crew use the equipment and if they don't have a party or something, we can use the pool too," Yoshi said.

Yuko moved to the mat where Kim, Erin, Sally, and Molly were warming up. She asked if she could join them and Kim nodded. The girls showed Yuko how to stretch her muscles and warm up before working out on the machines. Once they finished warming up, Kim showed Yuko a chart on the wall. She told her about the different exercises and explained what each of them did for the body.

Yuko began on the Stairmaster and moved from one machine to the next. Kim cautioned her not to overdo it until she got used to working out.

The guys finished their routine and stood against a wall watching the girls. Jack pointed at Yuko as she worked on the bench press. "It doesn't get much better than that, does it?"

Grinning, Yoshi said, "I don't know how it could get much better."

"Yuko is a good looking girl, isn't she?" Jack said.

"I think she's beautiful, Jack." Yoshi leaned closer to Jack. "Yuko is my first lover. I had sex before, but not with anyone I cared for."

"It's much better with someone you have feelings for, isn't it?"

"There are no words to describe it."

The girls finished working out and cooled down. Yuko said that she needed another shower and the others agreed that they too needed showers. Everyone went to the pool house and into the two shower rooms. Yuko pulled Yoshi into the same room as Jack and Sally. Kim followed them while Tom, Molly, Frank, and Erin used the other room.

The teens frolicked and took turns washing one another. Kim felt out of place, but Jack pulled her under the spray and began rubbing her body with soap. Kim giggled and helped Sally wash Jack. Yuko and Yoshi stayed away from the other three. They sensually washed each other and shared tender kisses.

"That was our first shower together," Yuko said as she dried herself in the open area with the others.

Giggling, Kim said, "I don't like showering alone, not anymore. It's so much more fun with a friend."

Everyone laughed and agreed with Kim. They finished in the pool house, shut off the lights, and left. At the house, Kim and Sally offered their friends and brothers sodas. They sat on the patio enjoying the warm evening.

"Yoshi, we have to go soon. I have to do laundry tonight," Yuko said.

"I thought you did your laundry yesterday," Yoshi replied.

"You know I don't have very many things, Yoshi."

"Yes, I know. Maybe tomorrow we can go shopping and buy some new clothes for you."

"What happened to all of your clothes?" Sally said. "You wore a couple of cute outfits when you were at our house last winter."

"When my father sent me back to Japan, he told me I wouldn't need my American clothes. When I came back, I only took what I could carry on the plane with me. I didn't have much as it was, but I was unable to bring everything," Yuko said.

"Can you afford to buy Yuko what she needs?" Kim said to Yoshi.

"I can help her until she gets paid. Unfortunately, I just paid my rent and made my car payment. I have to wait until payday until I have more money."

"Maybe we don't pay you enough," Jack said.

"No, my pay is very fair. I also send money to my family in Japan. My mother lives alone and doesn't work. My father passed away a few years ago so I send money when I can," Yoshi said.

"Come with me," Kim said to Yuko.

Kim led Yuko into the house. She asked Marge if she could talk to her for a minute.

"Mom, Yuko doesn't have many clothes and needs to get some. Can I lend her some money until she gets paid?" Kim said.

"Of course you can, Kim."

"Um, do you know of a clinic I can go to?" Yuko said.

"What's wrong?" Marge said.

"Nothing is wrong, but I want to get birth control pills."

Chuckling, Marge said, "I can take you where Kim and Sally go. They can take care of it for you. Maybe we can go tomorrow and get the things you need. Check with Jeri to see if she'll let you take off for a couple hours."

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Graham."

Marge smiled and nodded. She went back to the living room and Kim led Yuko toward the patio.

"What are you doing for birth control?" Kim said.

"I have to use condoms, Kim. I don't want to get pregnant. I've never had sex without one and I want to with Yoshi," Yuko replied. "I don't know why, but I find it so easy to talk to all of you."

Shrugging her shoulders, Kim said, "You can talk to any of us whenever you need or want to, Yuko."

Kim and Yuko went back to the patio. They told the others they'd be right back and walked to the yacht. Kim and Yuko found Jeri and April sitting together in the salon watching television.

"April, Jeri, can Yuko have a couple hours off tomorrow? She needs to go to the clinic and buy some clothing," Kim said.

"Sure, but it would be best if you go early. When you get here, we have many things to go over. I would also plan on working all weekend so you can catch up," April said.

Yoshi came aboard and into the salon. "Is everything okay?"

"Yes, everything is fine, Yoshi. April said I could have a couple hours off in the morning to go shopping," Yuko said.

"My mom and I are going to take her if it's okay with you," Kim said.

"That's fine. I have to start my shopping for the trip tomorrow. Some of the things we'll need I won't get until Monday, but I want to buy the things that won't spoil. Tomorrow, we can go over the menu. I'm going to go home now. Yuko has to do laundry," Yoshi said.

"Will you show me where I'll sleep on the yacht?" Yuko asked Yoshi.

"Sure, I forgot that we didn't get to finish our tour today. Come down below with me."

Yuko grabbed Kim's hand and said, "Come with us, Kim."

Yoshi led the two girls below to the crew's quarters. He showed her the small common area, the washers and dryers, and then he opened the door to Erin and Frank's stateroom.

"This is Erin and Frank's room. My room is over here," Yoshi said. He opened the door showing Yuko the small room. "Over here is another room for you."

Yuko hugged Yoshi's arm. "Can't I sleep in your room?"

"If you want to you can. It isn't very big."

"It's much better than a mat on the floor like back in Japan."

"That's true. We have hanging lockers and storage out here for our clothes."

"Why do Frank and Erin have the bigger room?"

"They live aboard full time, Yuko. I only need a berth for when I spend the night or we're on a trip."

"This will be wonderful. I hope that we get to share the bed occasionally. Maybe we can talk to April and see if she can schedule us for the same shifts."

"I'm sure we'll have the opportunity to share the berth," Yoshi said.

Yuko giggled and nodded. She followed Kim and Yoshi back up to the salon and stopped to talk to Jeri and April before going home.

"Thank you again for the opportunity to work on this beautiful yacht. I promise you won't be sorry you did," Yuko said.

"I think things will be fine, Sweetie. Kim, are you planning to be close to Sheer Delights tomorrow?" April said.

"I think so."

"Good. Please take Yuko there so Ellen can order uniforms for her. Yuko, make sure you have white underwear to wear with your uniforms," April said.

"Okay, I'll remember that," Yuko said. "I have to go now. I'll be here as soon as I can in the morning."

"Goodnight, we'll see you in the morning," Jeri said.

Kim, Yuko, and Yoshi left the yacht. They headed to the house so Yuko and Yoshi could tell everyone goodbye. After talking with everyone on the patio, Kim took Yuko and Yoshi through the house so they could say goodbye to the adults.

"What time should we be here in the morning?" Yoshi said.

"We get up early. Why don't you plan to be here by eight so Yuko can get things taken care of and get to work," Marge said.

Yuko gave everyone hugs and thanked them before she and Yoshi left. Kim walked them out to Yoshi's car and gave Yuko a hug. They said goodbye and Kim went back to sit with the rest of the teens.

April scooted closer to Jeri. They wrapped their arms around each other and shared a kiss. "We should get going too. I'm horny tonight," April said.

"You're always horny," Jeri said.

"Are you complaining?"

"Hell no!"

Jeri and April closed up the yacht. They stopped at the patio to tell Erin and Frank they were going to their apartment and that they'd see them bright and early. Erin and Frank said goodnight and told their bosses that they would go to the yacht.

Kim, Sally, Jack, Tom, and Molly decided to go to bed too. They went through the house to say goodnight before heading to the guesthouse. Kim went to her room, stripped, and climbed into bed. She tossed and turned while wishing Trent was with her. When she heard the sound of Molly and Tom's lovemaking, she giggled.

-------

Yoshi parked his car and got out. Yuko held his hand as they went into his small apartment. As soon as they were inside, Yuko hugged Yoshi and began crying.

"What's wrong?" Yoshi said.

"Nothing's wrong. Everything is so wonderful," Yuko said. "I'm just overwhelmed."

"You'll be fine, Babe."

"I know that now. Before today, I worried that I would be a burden to you. Now I know I'll be able to help you with the expenses."

"You could never be a burden, Yuko." Yoshi put his hands on her shoulders and gave her a kiss.

"I have to do a load of clothes. Will you go to the laundry room with me?"

"Yes, I'll go with you. I have a few things to add too."

Yuko and Yoshi gathered their things. They went to the lower level and into the laundry room. She separated their things, putting their clothes into two of the washing machines. After starting the machines, Yuko wrapped her arms around Yoshi.

"So, what will I do on the yacht?" Yuko said.

"I know that you'll help me in the galley. We're responsible for preparing the meals and snacks. I think that April will have you do cleaning and serving the clients. Because this is our first long trip, I think we're all going to learn."

"Are April and Jeri nice to work for? I know you said they were when we were with everyone else."

"They're the best, Yuko! If you do what you're told, everything will be great. It's much different from working in the restaurant, but I love it."

"How much are Kim and the other kids involved?" Yuko said as she snuggled against Yoshi.

"As far as I know, they let Jeri and April run the yacht. I haven't seen much of them before today, not on the yacht. Sometimes I cook for the families, but not on the yacht."

"It seems like it must cost a lot to have the yacht just sitting."

"I don't know about it, Babe. I work every day and they pay me as they promised. It isn't that we don't do things, we do. April is always changing things around and trying to make things as close to perfect as she can."

"It's going to be nice working with you." Yuko giggled and moved her hand between Yoshi's legs. "Other things are going to be nice too. Mrs. Graham is taking me to the clinic tomorrow. Soon, we will be able to make love without condoms."

"I feel bad because I don't have money to give you."

"You shouldn't feel bad, Sweetie. After all, you spent a lot getting me here. I know that you have to send money to your mom too. When I was in Japan, she was the only one who was nice to me. I used to go to her apartment so I could cry," Yuko said.

"I'm pretty sure my mom told your mom that you're back in the States. They're sisters and I know they talk a lot."

"I know. Mom used to call me when I was at your mom's house and she could. My father prohibited her from calling me. She couldn't even write me. That was the worst time of my life."

"I'm so happy I could get you out of there before your father forced you to marry. I know you didn't have a choice."

"Yoshi, I did have a choice, but it was worse than getting married. I heard my brothers talking and found out that if I refused to marry the man my father selected, that they were going to make me go to Tokyo to work in a brothel. I think my father hated the fact I was born a girl."

Moving his hands to Yuko's breasts, Yoshi chuckled and said, "I'm glad you were born a girl."

"What's the matter, don't you like boys?"

"I don't know. I've never been with a boy. Until the other night, I was only with one girl."

"You never told me about your girlfriend."

Diverting his eyes, Yoshi said, "She wasn't my girlfriend. I paid a prostitute for sex. I'm so ashamed that I did."

"It doesn't matter, not to me. We're together now and that's all that matters. I can guarantee you'll never have to do that again."

Yuko transferred the clothes from the washers to the dryers. Yoshi put coins in the machine and turned it on.

"One of these days I want you to tell me about the months you were back in Japan," Yoshi said.

"I don't think I can. It's much too embarrassing."

"If you don't talk about it, it's going to eat you up. You can't carry those things around forever and remain sane. There isn't anything you can tell me that will change the way I feel."

"Are you sure? Can you promise me that you won't hate me if I tell you? I'm not sure you can and I don't want to take a chance of losing you. I love you because you're my cousin and I'm falling in love with you, as a man and a lover. When we lived in Japan I had a huge crush on you. It almost broke my heart when my father moved me here. I don't think I can bear the idea of not being with you, not after what my father did."

"I love you too, Yuko. And yes, I can promise you that I won't hate you. Making love with you is wonderful, but it's not why I'm falling so deeply in love with you. I've loved you since we were children and living in our village. One of my plans was to save enough money to find you. My mother told me you lived in Michigan, but she wouldn't tell me where. She was afraid of your father.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a crush on me?"

"I was too young, Yoshi. I was twelve when we moved and you were seventeen. At that age, five years is a long time."

"It doesn't seem like it now. I'm twenty-four and I don't think that you're too young for me."

"I don't think you're too old for me." Yuko gave Yoshi a kiss. "I happen to like older men."

"Am I the oldest man you've been with?"

"Yes, the others were much closer to my age. They were just boys. The oldest one was twenty and the friend of my brother."

"How old was the man your father wanted you to marry?"

"He was a few months older than me. I think he was nineteen too."

"I wish I could go there and teach all of them a lesson."

"Are you jealous?" Yuko said.

"No, I'm pissed off that your family treated you that way. In this day and age, no one should have to live that way."

The dryer's buzzer sounded and Yuko began removing and folding the clothes. She finished and Yoshi helped her take the things to the apartment. Yoshi tried to get Yuko to tell him what happened in Japan, but she refused.

Yuko put the clothing away and then stripped. She and Yoshi got into bed and began kissing.

"Yuko, will you do something for me?" Yoshi whispered in her ear.

"Yes, I'll do anything I can for you."

"Um, have you ever given a man oral sex?"

Giggling, Yuko said, "No, but I know how with a girl. Do you want me to do that to you?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll try, but I have to warn you that I don't know what I'm doing."

"That's fine. We can teach each other."

Yuko pulled the covers off and moved lower in the bed. She rested her head on Yoshi's stomach and stared at his penis as she slowly stroked it. Moving closer, she swiped her tongue against the glans. Yoshi let out a groan and moved his hips, causing his penis to press against her lips.

Opening her mouth, Yuko took an inch of Yoshi's penis into her mouth. She moved her tongue over the rubbery glans, giggling at the feeling. Keeping her hand around his shaft, she took a bit more into her mouth. Yuko closed her lips around his penis, moaning softly.

"Am I doing this right?" Yuko said as she looked up at Yoshi.

"Yes, it feels great."

Yuko smiled and returned his penis to her mouth. She became braver and took half of Yoshi's length onto her mouth. He let out a groan and rubbed her head. Yuko slowly bobbed her head, marveling at the feeling of Yoshi's penis moving across her lips and tongue. She shifted on the bed, kneeling between his legs so she could see Yoshi's face.

The moment she saw the look on Yoshi's face, Yuko knew that he was enjoying what she did. She continued moving her head up and down, taking more each time. Yoshi humped his hips up and pushed his entire penis into her mouth. Yuko felt him touch the opening to her throat, but his penis wasn't long enough to go further.

Yuko sucked and bobbed her head as she watched his face. Yoshi lifted his head and watched his penis moving in and out of her mouth. She moved one of her hands between his legs and gently fondled Yoshi's firm testicles. He matched her motion and let out throaty groans.

"I'm going to come," Yoshi said, warning Yuko of his impending climax.

Taking him as deep as she could, Yuko decided that she would finish what she started. Her love and lust overcame any misgivings of tasting Yoshi's semen. She felt his penis throb against her tongue and then she felt his semen shoot into her mouth. Yuko pulled back until half of his penis remained in her mouth and moaned as Yoshi's cum shot across her tongue. She swallowed when she could and began sucking again.

Yuko decided that she didn't mind the taste of the thick fluid. In fact, the look on Yoshi's face made it more than acceptable. She continued nursing his penis until it softened. Yuko removed her mouth, gave his glans a kiss, and moved up next to Yoshi.

"Did I do good?" Yuko asked.

"That was amazing, Babe! I didn't think that you'd let me finish in your mouth."

Yuko giggled. "I think your juice is yummy."

Yoshi gave her a kiss and she kept her mouth closed. Yuko worried that he would be put off by the taste of his semen. He held his mouth to hers, pressing his tongue against her lips. Yuko relented, allowing his tongue into her mouth. He flipped his tongue against hers, moaning as they shared their first kiss after oral sex.

Yuko rubbed the back of Yoshi's head. He moved from her mouth to her breasts and gently sucked first one and then the other nipple. He continued moving down her body and she shuddered in anticipation of what she felt he planned to do.

It had been months since Yuko had felt a mouth and tongue on her vagina. She closed her eyes, waiting for Yoshi to reach his destination. He moved lower, kissing her mons. Yuko spread her legs as wide as she could, moaning when she felt Yoshi's tongue against her sex.

"Oh, yes, lick my pussy," Yuko said. She hadn't said anything like that to Yoshi before, but her lust prevented her from thinking clearly. When she and Crystal were together, they would use the nastiest words they could while they had sex.

While she didn't want to offend Yoshi, his mouth and tongue drove her crazy. Yuko humped her hips and rubbed her crotch against his face. He slipped his hands under her and gripped Yuko's bottom. She writhed as her orgasm washed over her. It was the first time she had ever reached that point with a man.

The two times that Yoshi and Yuko had sex before that point was very fast and, while enjoyable, unfulfilling. She loved feeling Yoshi's penis in her vagina, but the memories of the men in Japan had prevented her from letting go. Now there wasn't any thought of anyone except Yoshi. He kept up his oral assault, pushing Yuko over the edge. She grabbed his hair, pulled his face into her crotch, and screamed out in bliss.

"That's it, suck my clit. Make me come, Babe!" Yuko rotated her hips as she begged Yoshi for release. Her second climax rivaled her first.

After her third strong orgasm, Yuko pulled Yoshi's head from between her legs. She continued pulling on his hair until her mouth met his. Moaning, Yuko kissed him so hard it made her lips ache. She licked around Yoshi's mouth, savoring the taste of her juices.

"Oh my God, that was the best, Babe! Mmmm, I loved it," Yuko said. "I'm sorry about my language. You turned me on so much I couldn't think straight."

"I've heard worse, Yuko. Look, I don't care about those things. This isn't Japan and you don't have to be afraid of offending me. You can say anything you want to."

"So, does that mean you won't be upset if I ask you to fuck me?" Yuko said with a giggle.

"I can't wait to fuck your beautiful pussy."

"Good, now get one of those condoms on your cock and do it. Fuck me, Yoshi, fuck me and make me yours."

Yoshi grabbed a condom from the nightstand. He ripped open the package, rolled the latex down his penis, and knelt between Yuko's legs. Smiling down at her, he fed his penis into her vagina.

Yuko put her legs around Yoshi's waist and moaned as he sank into her. He began moving, sliding his penis in and out of her heated channel. She grabbed the back of his head and pulled his mouth against hers. They flicked their tongues together even while they maintained their kiss.

Yoshi supported his weight on one arm and fondled her breasts with the other hand. She started groaning and telling him to pinch her nipples. Unlike the first two times they screwed, Yoshi was still going strong after five minutes. The first two times had only lasted a few moments, but Yuko felt he was more than making up for it.

"That feels so good, Babe. I think I'm going to come," Yuko said.

Yoshi pulled out and bent down so he could kiss Yuko's clit. He flipped her over, pulled her hips up and reentered Yuko's vagina. Holding her hips, Yoshi banged in and out of her. She reached between her legs and played with her clit.

Yuko chanted while Yoshi pounded into her. She begged him to do it harder as her climax rumbled through her body. When she announced her orgasm, Yoshi slammed into her and came at the same time.

Sated and exhausted, Yoshi put his chest against Yuko's back and pushed her down to the bed. He kissed her neck and ran his hands up and down her arms. She wiggled and rolled over under him. Staring into Yoshi's eyes, Yuko smiled and gave him a kiss. They exchanged brief kisses and smiles before Yoshi got up to dispose of the condom.

"That was awesome, Yoshi! In fact, that was the best it's ever been. You lasted so long this time," Yuko said.

"I usually do the second time I come," Yoshi replied.

"I thought you said you only did it once before we did it."

Yoshi blushed and said, "There are other ways to come you know."

"Do I ever! I used to think my fingers would fall off," Yuko said and then she giggled. "I guess that giving you a blowjob first helps. I know that I loved it when you ate my pussy."

"I loved both, Yuko. It's so nice that we're doing these things together. I hope that someday you'll give me another blowjob."

"I'll do that anytime you want me to."

Yoshi grinned. "Good, I'll eat you anytime you want me to."

Yuko hugged Yoshi and then kissed him. "We're going to have a wonderful time, aren't we?"

"I plan to make sure that you're always happy." Yoshi reached over and turned off the light. He moved against Yuko's back, put his arm over her body, and covered her breast with his hand.

"Goodnight, Yuko."

"Mmmm, goodnight."

-------

Kim sat at the counter in the main house waiting for Yuko to arrive. She sipped a cup of coffee and thought about the things she'd learned about her friend the day before. No matter how hard she tried, Kim couldn't imagine how Yuko must have felt.

"How are you this morning?" Marge said as she poured a cup of coffee.

"I'm okay, Mom. I was just thinking about the things Yuko told us about yesterday. How could her father do that to her?"

"I have no idea, Kim. The important thing is that she's here and safe now."

"I know, but I can't stop thinking about what she said. I didn't know that there were still arranged marriages."

"The customs in other countries can be very strange to us. We can only compare them to what we know. I'm sure there are many girls who accept it as normal because it's all they know. We can't judge people by how we think things should be. Would you like it if someone told you that skinny dipping was wrong?"

"No, I guess not. Do you think Yuko will be okay?"

"There's no way to know. She has to deal with her demons in her own way. The best thing we can do is be her friends and support her if she asks us to. Kim, she may be fine with what happened because she's here with Yoshi now. Don't look for things that aren't there," Marge said.

Kim jumped up when she heard the doorbell. She went to the backdoor, opening it for Yuko. Yuko giggled and walked in.

"How are you doing?" Kim said.

"I'm doing great, Kim." Yuko leaned close and whispered. "I gave Yoshi a blowjob last night. It was so awesome! You wouldn't believe how happy it made him. It made me happy too. After that, he went down on me and then screwed me until I thought I would explode. What a night!"

Kim started laughing. She took Yuko's hand and led her into the kitchen. Marge greeted the giggling girl and asked her if she wanted something to drink or eat. Laura came in from the garage with a basket of clean towels. She placed them on the floor and took a tray of cinnamon rolls out of the oven.

"Those smell yummy," Yuko said.

"They're the best. What would you like to drink?" Kim said.

"Would tea be too much trouble? I tried coffee, but I can't get used to it," Yuko said.

Laura put on the teakettle. She removed the cinnamon rolls from the tray and placed them on a cooling rack. When the teakettle began boiling, Laura poured hot water into a mug for Yuko.

"Here you go. I'll get everyone a roll in a moment," Laura said. "Was Molly up yet, Kim?"

"Yeah, she was in the shower when I left the house," Kim said.

"So, Yuko, what are you looking for today?" Marge said.

"I need new underwear and a few outfits to get me by until I get my first paycheck."

"Mom, April wants us to stop at Sheer Delights to have Yuko measured for her uniforms," Kim said.

"Okay, we can start at the clinic because they open early. After that, we'll head to the shop and get the things you need, Yuko," Marge said.

"I promise I'll pay you back as soon as I can. Thank you so much for helping me. I still remember how nice all of you were to Crystal and me when we were at your house. That was one of the best days of my life," Yuko said.

Laura chuckled as she placed a plate with one of the cinnamon rolls in front of Yuko. "I can relate to that, Yuko."

Molly and Sally came in and sat down. Laura served them and then she sat at the table. "Is it okay if we go with you this morning? We want to see what's on sale at the shop," Sally said.

"Sure, you and Molly are welcome to join us. We're going to leave in a few minutes," Marge said.

Yuko raved about the rolls and asked for a second one. Kim made a comment about her getting fat, but Yuko just giggled. "I don't have to worry about that. I have a feeling that I'll get plenty of exercise working on the yacht."

"Yeah and you can workout with us too," Molly said. "I know it helps me keep my weight in check."

"You're fine, Molly," Laura said.

"I know and I intend to stay that way."

Yuko giggled at the exchange. She couldn't help thinking about how much fun she had the weekend she spent at Kim's house in Michigan.

"We should get going. I know that April wants to work with Yuko today," Marge said.

They said goodbye to Laura and left the house. Marge drove to the clinic and took Yuko in for a checkup and a prescription for birth control pills. The technician took blood and told Yuko they would test her for several things. The girl told her that she would have the results in a few days.

After the doctor examined Yuko and gave her the prescription, Marge gave the receptionist her credit card. When Yuko asked how much she owed Marge, she told her not to worry about it.

On the way to the lingerie shop, Yuko told Kim, Sally, and Molly about the visit to the clinic. She told them that she hadn't had a checkup since her father sent her back to Japan.

Marge parked in front of the shop. Everyone got out and went to the locked door. Marge tapped on the glass and waited for Ellen to unlock the shop. Inside, Kim, Sally, Molly, and Yuko began looking at the items on the sale table.

"Did Don say anything about the shop? Are we going to get it?" Ellen said to Marge.

"He hasn't said anything yet. They were supposed to find out if Mrs. Akins accepted the offer later today," Marge said. She called for Yuko and introduced her to Ellen.

"I'm very pleased to meet you Mrs. Shockley. You have very nice things here," Yuko said and then she turned to Marge. "When we finish here can we go to a discount store? I can't afford these things."

"Sure you can, Yuko. Just pick out what you want and we'll take care of it," Ellen said. "Marge and her family and friends get a discount."

Yuko thanked Ellen, but repeated her concern about the cost of the lingerie. Marge called Kim over and told her daughter to convince Yuko to get what she wanted and not to worry about the cost.

"Come on, Yuko. You can make payments to Mom if you have to," Kim said with a giggle.

Kim pulled Yuko to the sale table and began searching for bras and panties in Yuko's size. She held up a sheer white bra with lace trim and showed it to her friend. "Do you think Yoshi will like seeing you in this?"

Yuko giggled and nodded. "He wouldn't be able to keep his hands off me."

"Cool! Here are the matching panties."

Kim and Sally kept finding things for Yuko. Once they selected several white sets and a couple of color sets, they took them to the counter. Ellen punched the buttons on the register and put the items in a bag. Kim, Sally, and Molly all found a few things and put them on the counter.

"Let's see what we need to do for your uniforms," Marge said. "I would guess that you wear a small top and size two shorts, pants, and skirts."

"I prefer my tops a bit larger." Yuko placed her hands under her breasts. "These things stretch a small."

Marge chuckled and nodded. While Yuko's breasts weren't that large, Marge felt she was self-conscious about them. Yuko giggled and said, "I know they're not very big, but when my nipples get hard they show too much."

Laughing, Marge said, "I know what you're saying. That's always been a problem for me too. To be honest, I've quit worrying about it."

"It doesn't bother me either, but I don't think that it would go over well on the yacht," Yuko said.

Ellen gave Yuko three pullover uniform shirts. "Here you go, Yuko. I had a few from our last order in your size. I also have two pairs of shorts and a skort. I have to order the skirts and slacks."

"Thank you. How much are the uniforms?" Yuko said.

"We supply the uniforms," Sally said.

"Wow, that's great! You have very nice things here. After I've worked for a while, I'll come back to pick up a few more bras and panties."

"Come back anytime you want to, Yuko," Ellen said.

"Are we ready to go? We still have to stop and find Yuko some clothes," Kim said.

"I'm ready. Where would you like to go next?" Marge said.

"Why don't we check out the Gap? They have nice things that don't cost a fortune," Kim said.

After saying goodbye to Ellen, the group left the store. Marge drove to a mall and they went in to check out some of the stores. They shopped for an hour and Yuko found enough clothing to get her by for a while.

"I should get back. April will be wondering what happened to me," Yuko said. "I don't know how to thank you for helping me."

"Don't worry about it, Yuko. We're glad we could help. After you get on your feet you can pay me back," Marge said.

Marge drove back to the house. Yuko thanked her repeatedly and then walked down to the yacht. The girls told her they would see her in a little while and introducer to their friends.

"Mom, are you going to make Yuko pay you back?" Kim said.

"Yes, Kim. I think she's too proud to accept the things as gifts. I'm not concerned about the money and it doesn't matter when or how she pays me, but when she does, I'll accept the money," Marge said.

"Thanks for helping her, Mom."

"It was my pleasure. What do you two have planned for the rest of the morning?"

"Randy and Fran are supposed to be here soon. Fran called yesterday and said that the new equipment should be here too," Sally said.

"Do you kids have everything packed?" Anne said.

"We have everything we need on the boat, Mom. All of us have enough clothes for a week in our staterooms. We decided it would be easier than hauling our stuff back and forth," Sally said.

"I didn't realize you kids did that. I think it's a good idea," Marge said.

Jack and Tom walked into the kitchen. They greeted the girls and their moms and then Jack said, "Randy and Fran are on the boat. They got here about a half hour ago."

"That's cool. Um, I didn't see their car," Kim said.

"They came in a cab. Randy said that they are shipping their car down with the rest of their things. They're going to move into Mr. Levinson's condo," Jack said.

"Let's go say hi to Fran and Randy," Sally said.

Kim and Sally walked to the boat and went aboard. They called out for Fran and waited for her to answer. After a moment, they went below to the crew's quarters.

"Hi, Fran, hi, Randy. Are you getting settled in?" Kim said.

"Hi! Yeah, we're putting a few things away," Fran said. She gave Kim and Sally a quick hug.

"Are you two going to ride to the tournament with us?" Sally said.

"We'd like to if it's okay with everyone," Randy said. "I want to start running cables and getting the mounts installed. I thought we could work out a few of the bugs before the tournament that way."

"Did you ask Jack and Tom?" Sally said.

"Yes, they said they thought it was a good idea, but they had to check with the rest of the team," Fran said.

"I don't think it will be a problem, but we should run it by everyone else first. The rest of the team will be here a little later. What time is the equipment supposed to get here?" Kim said.

"Any minute now. Mr. Graham told us to ship it overnight. We're waiting for the FedEx truck to get here. Fran and I flew down here this morning after the movers finished loading the truck," Randy said.

"Won't your stuff get here while we're gone?" Kim said.

"Yeah, but that's okay. Mr. Levinson arranged for them to be able to unload at the condo. He said there was someone at the complex that would let the movers in. This is very exciting for Randy and me," Fran said with a giggle.

Randy and Fran continued putting their things away while they talked with Kim and Sally. Molly came down the stairs with Jenny and Kathy. The girls greeted Fran and Randy and then started talking about the same things Kim and Sally had discussed with them.

"I think it's a good idea for you guys to ride up to North Carolina with us," Jenny said. "I don't think the rest of the team will mind either."

Fran and Randy finished putting away their things. They carried their suitcases up to the cockpit and then placed them in the grass near the seawall. Randy asked where they could store the bags until they returned.

"We can put them in the building with the exercise equipment," Kim said.

Randy grabbed the bags and followed Kim to the building. She opened the door and showed him where to put the empty suitcases. The group walked up to the house and went inside.

Jack and Tom were sitting at the counter with Eddie and Brad drinking coffee. The boys greeted Fran and Randy, and then Jack offered them something to drink.

"How was your flight down?" Tom said.

"It was great. Flying on a private plane is so much better than taking a commercial flight. We didn't have to mess around with security," Randy said.

The group visited for a half hour, talking about the things they'd done since the last time they had all seen each other. Trent came in and said that the FedEx truck had followed him in.

Everyone went outside to help off load the truck. Randy and Fran made sure the box count was correct before Randy signed for the shipment. They carried the boxes into the garage and began opening the parcels.

Randy checked each of the black cases for damage and told the others what each case contained.

"We have three cameras, each with image stabilization. I was going to get the model under these, but Mr. Graham told me he wanted the best. We also have spare batteries, wireless microphones, sound and video recorders, a sound mixer, and the other things we need to produce the shows," Randy said.

"Randy and I have been working with the equipment for the past two weeks. We made sure everything worked, and that we knew how to operate it. We will go over everything with you guys on the ride to the tournament," Fran said.

The boys carried the equipment to the boat and stowed it in the crew's quarters. After securing the cases, they went back to the house to throw away the empty boxes. As the boys passed through the kitchen, Laura told them that lunch would be ready in a few minutes.

Kim introduced Trent to Randy and Fran. The group sat on the patio and ate while talking about the trip.

"What time are we leaving in the morning?" Fran asked.

"We want to get away by five or five thirty," Eddie said.

Kim chuckled and said, "You don't have to get up if you don't want to. We're planning to take turns on watch and run until we get there."

After lunch, Kim told Trent to follow her. She held his hand as she led him to the yacht.

"What's up?" Trent said.

"I want you to meet someone," Kim replied.

Kim and Trent walked up the ramp to the yacht. She opened the door to the salon and went in. She called out for Jeri and April.

"Hi, April. Is Yuko here?" Kim said.

"Yes, she and Yoshi are up on the sundeck," April said.

Taking Trent's hand, Kim led him up the steps to the flying bridge. They walked aft to the sundeck and Kim said, "Hi, Yuko."

"Oh, hi, Kim," Yuko said.

"Hello, Kim," Yoshi said.

"Yuko, I want you to meet my boyfriend Trent. Trent, this is Yuko. She's working on the yacht now. I knew her from school when I lived in Michigan," Kim said.

"Hi, Trent. I'm pleased to meet you," Yuko said with a smile.

"It's nice to meet you too, Yuko."

"This is Yuko's first day. She is going to work with Erin, Frank, and Yoshi," Kim said.

"Yoshi is showing me the grill and the teppan. I have been learning about the yacht today," Yuko said.

"That's cool. Um, what's a teppan?" Trent said.

Yoshi removed the cover from the large steel hotplate. "This is a teppan. We use it for a special type of Japanese cooking. I prepare the entire meal on the teppan," Yoshi said.

"Oh yeah, I remember when you fixed something on it the first time I was on the yacht," Trent said.

"We have to go. I wanted you to meet Trent before we left tomorrow morning. Are you getting settled in?" Kim asked Yuko.

"Yes, I plan to move my things here tomorrow. Yoshi and I are going to stay on the yacht until after we return from the trip." Yuko giggled. "It is very cozy in the crew's quarters."

"Yeah, but it isn't too bad, is it?" Kim said.

"Oh no. At least I have a bed. In Japan, I slept on the floor on a mat. That was okay before I came here the first time, but after living in America, I don't want to go back to the old ways."

Trent and Kim told Yuko and Yoshi goodbye. Kim told them that they would see them in North Carolina in a few days. Trent put his hand around Kim's waist as they walked back to the house. Kim told him about Yuko, and how she ended up in Florida.

Back at the house, Kim and Trent joined the rest of the team on the patio. By five thirty, all of the parents had arrived. The women fixed a simple meal and every one sat outside to eat. The parents talked to the teens, telling them to be careful on the trip north.

Don and the other fathers all agreed that they felt better because Randy and Fran were going to be on the boat with the teens. Even though they were only twenty-two, soon to be twenty-three, they were adults.

All of the parents trusted their children and weren't concerned about them going so far by themselves. They knew that the teens wouldn't do anything wrong or illegal, but they were still parents.

Andy Nester showed up and said hi to the group. He gave Jodie a hug, telling her that he had missed her. Trent observed his mom and Andy, smiling at Jodie when she looked toward him.

"I have new hats for everyone," Andy said to the team.

"That's great, Mr. Nester. Do we get more money if we wear them while we tape our fishing?" Sally said.

"I don't know, Sally. I guess I'll have to ask the company. It will depend on how much air time the hats get," Andy replied with a chuckle.

"That's my girl. She's always trying to figure out an angle," Jack said.

"What's wrong with that? I think she's smart," Kim said.

"I have to agree with you, Kim," Andy said.

The group sat around for another two hours. The teens started telling their parents goodnight and that they would see them in a few days. All of the teens went to their parents and gave them hugs.

Jack asked everyone to gather in the salon. He glanced around and smiled.

"I think we should work out a schedule for the watches. If we're going to run all night, we need to know who is going to be at the helm and who's going to sleep," Jack said.

Sally took a pad of paper from a drawer. She sat on the deck, placing the pad on the coffee table. "How long should each watch last?" Sally said as she drew a grid on the pad.

"I think that four hours would be good," Eddie said.

"That seems like a good idea. That way no one is at the helm for too long at a time," Molly said.

"How many should we have on each watch?" Trent said.

"We have to have at least two," Jenny said.

"I think that we should schedule two per watch, but I know that there will probably be more. We have to make sure that whoever is on watch is sharp and awake," Tom said.

"Okay, who is going to take the first watch tomorrow morning?" Sally said. "We can get started on the schedule and make adjustments."

Jack chuckled and said, "I think all of us will be up, Baby."

"I know, but we should still have a schedule. Jack and I will take the first watch. Jenny and Brad can take the next one," Sally said.

"Kim and I will follow Jenny and Brad, if that's okay," Trent said.

Kim smiled at Trent. She was happy that he was taking part in the planning.

"Tom and I will take the next watch," Molly said.

"I guess that Eddie and I are last," Kathy said.

How many watches do we need? How long is the trip going to take?" Trent said.

"It's about six hundred nautical miles from here to the marina. If we average twenty knots, it will take about thirty hours," Eddie said.

"I made the schedule for forty eight hours so we have a buffer," Sally said. "After everyone finishes their watch, we start over in the same order."

The team agreed that the schedule sounded good. Sally went below, returning with her notebook computer. She entered the information and then brought up a program that allowed her to estimate their position at each watch change. She added the information to the float plan and emailed it to the parents and Jeri.

"We're all set," Sally said as she shut down her computer.

"I think we should all get to bed," Kim said.

"I'm too excited to sleep," Trent said.

Giggling, Kim said, "Who said anything about sleeping?"

Everyone laughed and started making silly comments. They made sure they locked the door and started going below. Randy and Fran told the teens goodnight and went down to their quarters.

"Those kids never cease to amaze me," Fran said as she and Randy began getting ready for bed.

"No kidding! I think that we're going to have a great trip," Randy said.

Fran removed her bra and hung it on a hook. Wrapping her arms around Randy, she said, "I have to agree with Kim."

"About what?"

Placing her hand between their bodies, Fran rubbed Randy's crotch. "I'm talking about going to sleep. I want to make love tonight."

Randy chuckled. He grabbed Fran's butt and pulled her close. "I think this boat makes you horny, Honey."

"Sweetie, you make me horny. The boat just increases my horniness."

Fran giggled. "Yeah, mine too. I plan to take full advantage of it."

Randy and Fran finished undressing and climbed into the berth. They came together and began kissing. She wrapped her hand around his penis, stroking him gently.

"Have I been doing better about my jealousy lately?" Randy said.

"Baby, you're so much better that I can't believe it. You haven't acted like a jerk about it since we talked the last time we slept in this bed," Fran said.

"I'm trying."

"I know you are and I appreciate it. Randy, you know that you don't have anything to worry about, don't you? I love you and would never do anything to hurt you." Fran gave Randy a tender kiss. "Let's quit talking about it. In fact, let's stop talking. You know it isn't polite to talk with your mouth full, don't you?"

Randy chuckled as Fran kissed her way to his erection. She covered it with her mouth, moaning as she started bobbing her head. Randy pulled her around so she could stretch out next to him and lifted her leg. He kissed her crotch and she moaned around his penis.

Jack undressed Sally and then stood still while she did the same for him. Kneeling on the deck, Sally looked up and smiled. Jack took hold of her ponytail and pulled her mouth to his crotch. She opened her mouth and used her tongue to lift and pull his penis into her mouth. Sally took his length, rubbing her hose against his trimmed pubic hair.

Pulling her to her feet, Jack wrapped his arms around Sally. He stroked the back of her head and gave her a kiss.

"I love you, Baby," Jack said.

"I know. I love you too."

"I haven't been paying enough attention to you lately, have I?"

"Jack, just knowing you love me is enough." Sally rested her head against his chest and rubbed his back.

"You know that I'm trying my best to do what you want, don't you?" Sally nodded. "I find it so hard sometimes. My greatest fear is hurting you or making you do something you don't want to do."

Sally looked up and grinned. "We don't have to talk about this again, Sweetie. You know how I feel and what I want. Someday you'll quit worrying and everything will be fine. For now, I'm happy with what I have."

"It's so hard because we're always around our friends. I don't want them to think you're..."

"I don't care what they, or anyone else, thinks! I'm yours and yours alone. How many times do I have to tell you that there isn't anything I won't do for you? When are you going to believe me and realize that I gave myself to you with my eyes wide open? Baby, I'm completely yours. You can treat me like property because that's what I am."

"Sometimes I think I'm treating you like a slut," Jack said.

"I'm your slut and your lover. You can fuck me anytime you want, anyway you want to. You can tell me to fuck anyone else, too. If it makes you happy, it will make me ecstatic. Jack, I don't want to be a closet sub. I want everyone to know that you own me and that I will comply with your every wish."

"What am I going to do with you?"

"What do you want to do with me?" Sally said.

"Right now, I want to fuck you."

Giggling, Sally said, "Do you want to fuck my pussy, my mouth, or my ass?"

Jack chuckled. He picked Sally up and tossed her on the bed. Pulling her around, Jack positioned her head so it hung over the edge of the mattress. He stroked his penis, placed against Sally's lips and slid it into her mouth. Holding the side of her head, he began moving. Sally watched his balls sway and giggled when they bounced off her forehead.

"Oh shit, that feels good," Jack said as he moved his penis in and out of Sally's sucking mouth. He moved his hands to her chest and kneaded her breasts.

Sally fought off the urge to gag. She took breaths when she could and moaned around Jack's penis. He kept it up for several minutes before he removed his penis from her mouth and pushed Sally around on the bed. He got between her legs, grabbed them, and pushed them back.

"I'm going to fuck you silly," Jack said as he fed his penis into her vagina.

"Do what you want to do to me! Make me yours, Jack, make me your slut! I love it when you fuck me!"

Jack began moving. He pounded in and out of Sally's vagina with so much force it pushed her up toward the headboard. She put her hands on the headboard to prevent her head from banging against it. Jack continued to screw her until he couldn't hold back any longer. Shoving into Sally, he let out a groan. His body quivered as his penis pulsed and sent several surges of semen into her.

Pulling his penis from Sally's vagina, Jack scooted up and pressed against her mouth. Sally took his penis in, sucking it noisily as she cleaned their fluids from the softening shaft. Sally bent her neck so she could get as much of his penis into her mouth as possible.

Jack pulled away and rolled onto his side next to Sally. She rose up, leaned over, and kissed him.

"Thank you, Sweetie. Are you going to fuck my ass now?" Sally cooed as she nuzzled Jack's neck.

Chuckling, Jack said, "Not right now. Maybe I'll wake you up and do it later after I've recovered."

Sally kissed him and said, "Okay, I'll be here."

Jack pulled the covers over their bodies. He took Sally into his arms, holding her as they drifted asleep.
