Jack was the first to wake up and rolled out of bed.  He walked
around to where Tom was still sleeping, shook his shoulder and waited
for him to open his eyes.

"What time is it?" Tom asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"Six, time to go fishing," Jack replied, keeping his voice low so he
wouldn't wake Lisa and Megan.

Tom stretched, swung his legs over the edge of the bed and sat up. 
He glanced back at the two sleeping girls and shook his head.  Tom
stood up and looked for his boxers.

"It's too early, Jack.  I feel like I didn't sleep at all."

"I know, but today is the last chance we have to go out and fish
before we go home tomorrow.  Go take your shower; I'll wake up Kim
and Sally."

Tom groaned and headed for the bathroom.  Jack left the room and
went to the door of the room Kim was in.  After tapping on the door,
he opened the door and stuck his head in.

Kim was sitting on the edge of the bed, pulling a brush through her
wet hair.  Jack could hear the shower running and assumed it was Paul.

"Morning, Kim.  I just came over to get you up.  I'll go get Sally
so we can get going," Jack said.

"Morning.  Sally's in the shower, she slept in here last night. 
We'll be ready in a few minutes."

"Okay, I'm going to go get dressed.  Tom and I will meet you in the
dinning room."

Kim nodded and Jack left.  He went back to his room and went inside.
Lisa was still sound asleep, but Megan was sitting up.  She had the
sheet pulled up over her breasts and was grinning from ear to ear.

"Good morning, Jack, did you sleep well last night?" Megan asked.

"What little I got was good, just not enough of it."

"I'm sorry; I shouldn't have kept you up so late."

"No, it's okay, Megan.  I'm glad we got everything out in the open
last night."

"Yeah, me too-I guess."

Jack looked at Megan and she dropped her head, diverting her eyes. 
Tom came out of the bathroom and told Jack it was his turn in the
shower.  Jack paused for a moment and then headed for the bathroom.

After taking a quick shower, Jack went out and dressed in jeans and
a tee shirt.  Megan was stretched out next to Lisa, her arm around
the sleeping girl's waist.  Jack didn't say anything as he finished
dressing.  Before leaving the room, Jack grabbed his duffle bag and
then told Megan goodbye.

"Bye, Jack, have a good time today.  I'll see you when you get back
this afternoon."  Megan lifted her head and smiled at Jack.

Kim and Sally came into the dinning room a few minutes after Jack
and Tom had arrived.  Rosa placed a platter of French toast and bacon
on the table and asked the teens what they wanted to drink.

After telling Rosa what they wanted, the women left to get the
orange juice they had all asked for.

Kim and Sally seemed giddy and giggled as they talked about going
fishing.  Jack and Tom were a little solemn, not saying much at all.

"I hope we can catch some fish today," Kim said.  "I really like
fishing down here."

"Yeah, me too, Kim," Jack said as he stared at his plate and picked
at his food.  "I think Jeri will be able to find fish for us again."

"Are you going to see if she'll let you guys drive the boat today?"
Sally asked, looking across the table at her brother.

"I want to, Sally.  Now that we're getting the yacht, I want to
learn as much as I can," Jack told her.

The teens finished their breakfast, picked up their dishes and
carried them into the kitchen.  Rosa scolded them for doing her job,
like she always did, but they just laughed and told her they didn't
mind.

After gathering their things for the day, the teens left the house
to go to the boat.  Don and Marc were sitting on the patio having
coffee and the group stopped to chat for a minute.  Don told them to
have a good time and they continued to the Viking.

"The skiff is gone," Jack said.  "I wonder where Jeri went?"

"She went to get bait."  Kim held up a note she found stuck on a
piling.  "We're supposed to just wait on the boat until she gets
back."

They all climbed on board, stowed their duffle bags in the cabin and
went up to the flying bridge to wait for Jeri.

Tom and Jack sat at the helm.  Tom took the helmsman seat and Jack
the seat next to him.  Kim and Sally stood behind their brothers and
began asking questions about the different things on the dash.  Jack
and Tom took turns answering the girls' questions, but didn't seem as
enthused as they were.

"What's going on with you guys?" Kim asked.  "Both of you seem like
you're mad at the world."

Jack turned around and faced Kim and Sally.  "Lisa and Megan kind of
broke up with us last night.  I guess they like each other better
than they like us."

"What?  What did they say?" Sally asked.

"Not much, just that they wanted to be together.  They still want to
be friends, but not like it has been," Jack said.

Tom twisted his seat around and the four siblings stared at one
another.  Sally shifted nervously from one foot to the other as she
tried to think of something to say that would make her brother and
cousin feel better.  Glancing at Kim, the two girls shared a brief
smile and moved closer to their brothers.

Kim put her arms around Jack's neck while Sally sat on Tom's lap. 
The two girls gave the boys hugs and just held them for a moment.

"Looks like it's the four of us again," Kim said.  "Paul and I have
agreed to be friends, but not boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Brad wants a boyfriend, not me," Sally added.  "He said he still
wants to fool around once in awhile, but not have a relationship."

Kim looked into her brother's eyes.  "Are you going to be okay, Jack?"

Jack nodded.  "Yeah, eventually.  It still kind of hurts right now. 
I never expected to be replaced by a girl."

Sally giggled, nodded and said, "Tell me about it!  It sucks finding
out your boyfriend would rather suck cock than have his sucked-at
least by me."

Kim sat on her brother's lap, leaned against him and snuggled her
body against his.  Jack put his hands around her waist and held her
close.  Moving her mouth to his ear, Kim kissed Jack and then said,
"I love you-you know that don't you?"

Jack tightened his grip on Kim and fought back the tears that welled
in his eyes.  Having Kim in his arms seemed perfect to him.

"I love you too, Tom.  I'll be your girlfriend-if you want me,"
Sally told her brother.

"Thanks, Sally.  I love you too.  I love all of you guys.  We're
family and we have to stick together," Tom said.

Kim giggled and wiggled in Jack's lap.  "I like that idea, being
stuck together."

Jack, Tom, Sally and Kim all laughed.  Once they clamed down, Kim
put her lips against Jack's and kissed him.  At first, the kiss was
chaste, but it quickly grew in passion.  Jack opened his mouth and
Kim's tongue darted in.  They held the kiss for several moments
before separating.

When he glanced at Tom and Sally, Jack saw that they were kissing too.

The sound of an outboard caused the teens to look out across the
water.  They saw Jeri and April approaching in the skiff and got up
to help them tie the boat up and carry the bait onto the Viking.

"Good morning," Jeri called out as she maneuvered the small skiff
against the seawall.

"Hi, did you get the bait?" Tom replied as he caught the line April
tossed to him.

"Yeah, we have plenty.  It looks a little rough out there today; we
may have to fish in the ditch until the ocean clams down a little." 
Jeri tossed Jack the bowline as she spoke.

"What ditch?" Kim asked.

Jeri chuckled and replied, "The ICW, they call it the ditch.  We can
find some jacks or permit there.  It's not as much fun as fishing for
billfish, but it's better than not fishing at all."

Jack and Tom tied the skiff to the seawall and helped Jeri and April
with the cooler of baitfish.  The two boys carried the bait to the
Viking and poured the contents of the cooler into the live bait well.
After filling the bait well, Jack turned on the pump that circulated
water for the small fish.

Jeri told Jack and Tom to follow her and climbed down into the
engine room to go over the checklist and get the boat ready.  Kim and
Sally helped April take care of the electrical and water connections
before untying most of the lines that secured the Viking.

Once the engines were started and warmed up, Kim and Sally cast off
the bow and stern lines so the group could leave.  Tom listened to
Jeri as she told him what to do to pull away from the seawall.

Tom maneuvered the boat out and into the canal. He eased the
throttles forward and steered the boat toward the ICW.  Kim and Sally
came up to the flying bridge and watched as the boat cut through the
water.

After a few minutes, April came up carrying two cups of coffee.  She
handed one to Jeri and sat on one of the bench seats.

"Jeri and I have been talking about a crew for Tomiko.  We think we
should start looking for crew members and gathering resumes," April
said.

"That sounds good, April, but we kind of thought we would be the
crew," Kim said.

"If you want to, you certainly can-it's your yacht.  I just think we
should have a crew that can take care of the charters when you guys
can't make it or don't want to work," April replied.

"You're right, April," Sally said.  "I guess we never thought about
that.  How many crew members do you think we should have?"

"Jeri and I think we should have at least two crew members we can
count on.  We'll develop a list of others that can be called if
needed.  We also need to find a chef.  We know some people that may
be interested in working for you," April said.

"Don't you mean working for you?" Jack said.  "We hired you two to
take care of the yacht and the crew.  We know we own Tomiko, but you
and Jeri are the captain and chief steward.  We want you two to take
care of things like that."

"Okay, no problem," Jeri said.  "It's going to take some time for
April and I to fully understand our roles.  Most of the owners I've
worked for wanted to be the boss and make all the decisions.  I will
also start talking to a few of the charter brokers so we can begin
booking charters."

"What's a charter broker?" Sally asked.

"A charter broker is like a travel agent for yachts.  They find
clients and take care of booking the trips.  If you want to get
enough charters to pay for the yacht, we'll need a broker," Jeri said.

"How much do we have to pay them?" Jack asked.

"It all depends on how much you want them to do.  The better brokers
advertise in magazines and the like.  They go to shows and try to
find clients for you.  The real good brokers will get up to ten
percent of the charter fee for their services," Jeri replied.  "I
know it sounds like a lot of money, but it's worth it."

"I think we should get the best broker we can," Tom said.  "I don't
want our parents getting all bent out of shape because we aren't
making any money."

"April and I will start talking to a few of the brokers we know.  We
can also ask Harry Shockley if he knows anyone."  Jeri pointed to a
cut and told Tom to head that way.  "I have a list of things I think
we should have done to the yacht.  Maybe we can go over it today. 
Harry said he thinks he can have Tomiko ready to deliver in four
months."

"Really? That would be great!" Kim said.  "Maybe we could take it to
Michigan for the summer and start chartering her in the fall."

Jeri nodded.  "Taking her to Michigan would make for a good shake
down and training cruise.  If we had any trouble, we'd have to have
Bowman's send someone to make the repairs.  Once we returned to
Florida, we can take the yacht to the boatyard and have her touched
up and any minor repairs made."

"Okay, it's settled then.  We'll take the yacht to Michigan as soon
as we can.  I think Mr. Stone wants to charter her for a couple of
day trips up north," Jack said.  "He said his law firm would take at
least one charter."

Jeri turned around and began telling Tom where to steer the boat. 
Once she was where she wanted to be, Jeri had Tom put the boat in
neutral and dropped the anchor.  The group went down to the cockpit
and Jeri began getting the fishing tackle ready.

Once the rods were setup and baited; Jeri told Jack, Kim, Tom and
Sally how to fish for the smaller fish that swam in the ICW.  They
stood and jigged the bait in the water waiting for a bite.

"It's kind of cool today.  I'm glad I wore my sweats," Kim said.

"It's winter and it gets cold down here some days," April said.  "I
guess you guys think this is warm compared to the weather in
Michigan."

"Compared to Michigan, it's hot," Sally said.  "I love it down here."

"It's okay this time of year, but it gets really hot in the summer. 
Being able to take the yacht north for the summer will be real nice,
as long as we can get a few charters up there," April said.  "I've
heard about the Great Lakes, but I've never been there.  Hell, I've
never been north of the Carolinas."

Kim felt a tug on her line and began reeling against the fish that
took her bait.  Jack put his rod in a holder and moved closer to his
sister in case she needed any help.  After a brief fight, the fish
came to the surface.  Jack reached over the transom and gaffed the
permit that was trying to get away.

"Are these good to eat?" Kim asked as Jack hoisted the fish onto the
deck.

"Yes, they're very good, Kim.  Rosa can bake it for you tonight if
you want her to," April said.

"Cool, we need to catch a few more, there are a lot of people at the
house," Kim replied.

The teens caught a few more of the fish and then decided they had
enough for the evening meal.  When Jeri asked what they wanted to do,
Jack told her he wanted to learn more about operating the boat.

After stowing the fishing gear and cleaning the cockpit, they all
went up to the flying bridge.  Jack fired up the two engines and
pulled the anchor.  Once they were underway, Jeri gave him
directions.  They cruised along the waterway looking at the houses.

"Just think, we're going to have a house down here soon," Sally
said.  "I can't wait until we can spend the winters in the warm
weather instead of the snow we get at home."

"What will you guys do about school?" April asked.  "Go down here?"

"I don't know, our parents will think of something," Kim said and
then she turned to Sally.  "Want to go change?  I'm getting warm."

"Okay," Sally said and got up.

Kim and Sally went below and took shorts and tank tops out of their
duffle bags.  They removed the sweatshirts and sweatpants they were
wearing and put on the lighter clothes.

"Kim, how do you feel about what happened to Tom and Jack?" Sally
asked as she folded her clothes and put them into the bag.

Kim thought for a moment.  "To tell the truth, I'm kind of happy
about it.  I would never tell my brother, but now I don't have any
competition."

Sally giggled and said, "You know what?  I was thinking the same
thing.  Do you think they will want to have us as girlfriends?"

"Yes, I'm sure of it-at least they better want us," Kim said.

Sally moved in front of Kim, put her arms around her waist and
pulled her close.  When Kim put her hands on Sally's shoulders, Sally
slid her hands to Kim's bottom.  Their lips met in a quick kiss and
then they giggled.

"Things are going to be different now, Kim.  I want to make love to
Tom and I know you want to do it with your brother."  Kim nodded and
smiled.  "I want all of us to do some of the things we used to do-I
want to fuck Jack and watch you fuck Tom."

Kim giggled again.  "We are going to have so much fun, Sally!  I
can't wait until we come back down here-just the four of us."  Kim
kissed Sally's nose.  "How about me, do you want to make love to me
too?"

Sally moved back a little, put her hands on Kim's breasts and gave
them a firm squeeze.  Kim leaned into Sally's hands and moaned as her
fingers began to massage the twin mounds.  After a moment, Kim
grabbed Sally's wrists and removed her hands.

"We better be careful, I don't think our brothers want to see us
fooling around, not right now anyhow.  I think they are hiding their
feelings about what Megan and Lisa did to them."

April had come into the salon unnoticed by Kim and Sally.  When she
heard what Kim said, she walked over to the two girls.

"Megan and Lisa didn't do anything to your brothers, not on purpose.
They just fell in love.  Sometimes things happen that are out of our
control.  Jeri and I talked to Megan and Lisa.  They told us they
were in love, but were afraid of hurting Tom and Jack."

"Did you guys tell them to break up with our brothers?" Kim asked.

"No, we would never tell anyone what to do.  Megan and Lisa really
care about your brothers, they love them.  You have to understand how
they feel about one another too.  If they didn't find out if their
feelings were real for one another, they would spend the rest of
their lives wondering.  That wouldn't be good for anyone.  Megan and
Lisa could never completely love your brothers if they were always
questioning their feelings," April said.

Kim and Sally nodded.  

"I hope they're happy," Kim said.  "I know that Jack and Tom will be
okay."

April smiled and said, "I'm sure both of you will see to that.  It's
easy to see how much you two care for them."

Kim and Sally stood in shock.  They both wondered how April knew and
just how much she did know.

"Don't worry, one of the things you learn in the charter business is
how to ignore things that are none of your business.  What you guys
do is none of Jeri's or my business."  April moved closer and put her
arms around the two younger girls.  "Look, we are going to be
spending a lot of time together and I think that if we keep secrets,
it will cause big problems.

"Kim, Sally, I don't know anything about what you and your brothers
do, but it's clear that the four of you are very close.  Like I said,
that's your business.  I don't care what you do or who you do it
with."

"Thanks, April," Sally said.  "Kim and I do care about our brothers
and you're right, we're very close.  The same goes for you and Jeri. 
Whatever you do will be none of our business.  I think we all want
this to work."

"Good, I'm glad that's settled.  I'm going to make lunch for us. 
Jeri is having Tom and Jack practice some docking and then we'll
eat."  April smiled and began making lunch.

Kim and Sally offered to help and April asked the girls to get out
the plates and other things that would be needed to serve lunch. 
After setting the table the two young girls sat down to watch April. 
As she prepared the food, April told the girls what she was planning
to do to the apartment.  Several times, she told Kim and Sally how
much she and Jeri appreciated everything the girls parents were doing
for them.

Once lunch was prepared, April told the girls she was going to go
out and tell the others it was time to eat.  Kim offered to do it,
got up and headed out to the cockpit.  She called up to Jeri and let
her know it was lunchtime.  Jeri had Jack anchor the boat out of the
way of other traffic and the group went below.

After washing their hands, everyone sat at the table while April
served the salmon patties and brown rice she had prepared.

Kim glanced up at her brother and smiled.  "How are you doing with
learning to drive the boat?"

"He and Tom are doing very well," Jeri said.  "They still have a lot
to learn, but it won't take long-not if they get some practice."

"That's cool, maybe they will be able to operate Tomiko when she's
finished," Sally said.

Jeri chuckled and shook her head.  "That will take some time, Sally.
Once they're comfortable with something this size, they can move up. 
There is a big difference between a fifty footer and a yacht the size
of Tomiko."

April asked if anyone wanted more food and then asked, "When do you
think you guys will be down here again?"

"In a couple of weeks," Tom replied.  "Our dads said we should plan
on coming down every two weeks while the yacht is being finished. 
Jeri, do you think the things you want to change will delay the
delivery date?"

"No, not really, Tom.  I talked to Harry and told him we wanted to
make sure he assigned enough help to keep the project moving.  The
yacht hasn't been worked on for quite a while, but they seem to be
catching up.  I guess the new cabinetmaker had some issues with the
way some of the joinery was done and is going to redo a lot of it. 
It may add a couple of weeks, but I'm sure it will be worth it."

Jeri took a bite of her lunch and waited until her mouth was empty
before continuing.  "I have a list of the electronics I'd like to
change.  There is new technology that wasn't available when the yacht
was designed and ordered.  Harry said there wouldn't be any trouble
making the changes."

"I think we should start working on a budget for the things we'll
need, you know towels, bedding, dishes and stuff like that," Sally
said.

April chuckled and nodded.  "I've already started on it, Sally.  I
should have it finished by the time you guys come back.  A lot
depends on what Joanne wants to do, but we can work on a price range.
Have you guys thought about hiring a chef?"

Kim looked at her brother and cousins.  "We thought that you would
be the chef, April."

"No, I can cook, but I'm no chef.  We need to find someone that can
plan menus and take care of the purchasing.  The chef will also need
to know about wines and other things."

Kim nodded.  "Do you know anyone?"

"I know a few chefs, but I think we should wait until we're closer
to booking charters before we hire someone."

"April's right.  We don't need to add any more expenses than we have
to.  Once the yacht is delivered and we have her ready, we can start
looking for the crewmembers we'll need.  We can talk about it as we
get closer to the delivery date," Jeri said.

"What are the chances we'll be able to take Tomiko to Michigan this
summer?" Tom asked.

Jeri shrugged her shoulders.  "I'm not sure, but we should be able
to.  We probably won't be able to spend much time up north, but it
would be a good way to shake down the yacht.  We may want to hire one
of Harry's engineers to go with us, at least part of the way."

Sally said, "Why would we need an engineer?"

"Just in case something happens, Sally.  It would be better to have
someone that's familiar with the yacht than a stranger," Jeri replied.

Kim got up and began clearing the table.  April told her she didn't
have to, but Kim didn't stop.  Jeri, Jack and Tom went outside and up
to the flying bridge to pull the anchor and get underway.

While Sally, Kim and April cleaned up the galley, Jeri taught Tom
and Jack how to maneuver the boat in a current.  Tom took the helm
first and listened to Jeri as she told him how to use the engines and
transmissions to back the boat into a makeshift slip.  Jeri had put
out two fenders, with weights to keep them in place, to simulate a
narrow slip.

Once Tom got the hang of the maneuver, Jack took his turn at the
helm.  "It's different with the current, Jeri.  You have to time
things just right."

"That's right, Jack.  It's really much easier with a boat that has
bow thrusters.  You can almost make it go sideways.  Just remember to
be aware of the current and the wind.  When the wind is blowing in
the opposite direction of the current, it's easy to let the boat get
away from you."

Jack spent an hour both backing and pulling forward between the
fenders.  Each time he stopped the boat, Jeri would check its
position.  After retrieving the fenders, Jeri told Jack where she
wanted to go next.

Kim and Sally went out on the foredeck to lie in the sun while Jack
drove the boat to a marina.  Once they were in the marina, Jeri had
Jack practice pulling in and out of an empty slip.

Jack was able to back the boat into the slip the first time,
stopping before hitting the pier.  Jeri told him how well he did and
then told him to pull in forward.  After completing the exercise,
Jack let Tom take the helm to practice.

While his cousin operated the boat, Jack looked around the marina at
some of the other boats moored there.  Most of the boats were about
the same size as the one they were on, but some were larger.  Jack
spotted a sixty-foot Viking and pointed it out to Jeri.

Jack and Jeri chatted about the boat while she watched Tom.  Jeri
offered a couple of suggestions, but all in all, he did well.

It was almost four in the afternoon when they headed back to the
house.  Tom and Jack switched off with Jack docking the boat at the
seawall.  Kim and Sally helped with the lines and secured the boat. 
After washing the boat down, Jeri and April headed home and the teens
went into the house.

Marge and Anne were sitting in the living room, talking about their
afternoon shopping trip.  Kim and Sally joined their mothers and
asked what the women bought.

"We didn't buy anything today, Honey.  We spent most of the time
looking at furniture and things for the new house," Anne said. 
"Joanne has some wonderful ideas and a great eye for color."

"Cool, Mom.  Will Mrs. Mitchell be coming down here to do the
decorating?"

"Yes, Sally.  Aunt Marge and I will be coming down with her.  We
really want to get the house finished as soon as we can.  I think we
may start spending winters in Florida."

"What are going to do about school?  Will we go down here?" Kim asked.

Marge smiled.  "We haven't really decided what we're going to do,
Kim.  Dianne said she could help by coming down during the winters,
but that would interfere with the golf course.  I'm sure we'll come
up with a plan."

Kim turned to Sally.  "Maybe we should just take the GED and forget
about school.  If we want to learn about something, we could take a
class on that subject."  Kim giggled.  "I really don't need anymore
physical education or some of the other dumb classes.  We know how to
do math, read and write, you know, the important stuff.  What else do
we need?"

Both Anne and Marge laughed.  Marge looked at her daughter and said,
"Are you telling me you want to be a high school dropout?"

"That's not fair, Mom.  You and Dad already said we'd never have to
worry about money.  The only reason I can see to finishing high
school is to go to college and I just don't see that happening.  We
already own a business and plan on making it successful.  We all know
the business is a tax write off for our families, but we want it to
make money someday."

"Just how long have you girls been thinking about this?" Anne asked.

"We've all been talking about it, Aunt Anne.  Jack, Tom, Sally and I
think we'll do just fine without finishing high school."  Kim
grinned.  "We plan on finishing this year, but we don't think we'll
continue after that."

"We don't really have a lot of friends from school and now we don't
even go there anymore. The friends we do have we can still see, even
if were not in school.  Now, you're talking about living in Florida
in the winter and Michigan in the summer.  If you think about it, we
won't really have much time for friends with the yacht and all." 
Sally was getting animated as she spoke.

"Okay, take it easy, Sally.  We understand what you're saying, but
we'd still like to see you kids get your diplomas," Anne said.

"We will, but they will be GED diplomas, not regular high school
diplomas.  I'll bet there are a lot of kids that graduate from high
school that aren't as smart as we are-or as smart as we could be,"
Kim said.

Marge and Anne became amused at their daughters and the things they
were saying.  While both women knew the girls were correct, they
didn't want to seem too ready to let them quit school.  The mothers
wanted the girls to think things through and make the right decision,
a decision that would be with them for life.  In previous
conversations between the parents, they all agreed the need for their
children to finish high school was limited, but also decided they
wouldn't push them into either direction.

Between the trust funds that had been set up by Sam Mitchell and the
assets the families were acquiring, the teens would be financially
set for life.  Even if they lost all the wealth they had accumulated,
the funds were designed to provide adequate incomes for the parents
and the teens, an income that would best anything they could earn
even with college educations.

Kim and Sally continued to state their case to their moms, trying to
give them all the reasons they should be allowed to leave formal
education and get an equivalency diploma.  The girls were convincing
in their arguments, but Anne and Marge weren't about to concede until
Marc and Don could offer their opinions.

Marge finally said, "Listen, if you and your brothers want to talk
to us about this when your fathers are here that's fine with me. 
Let's wait until we get home though.  We have to get packed and ready
to leave."

Kim and Sally agreed and left the room.  They went to the bedrooms
to find Tom and Jack so they could tell their brothers what their
moms had said.  After checking the room Jack was staying in and
finding it empty, they went to Tom's room.

Jack and Tom were sitting on the bed talking about the things they
learned about operating the boat.  When the girls walked in, both of
the boys looked up and said "hi" to them.

"We just talked with Mom and Aunt Marge about school," Sally said. 
"Kim and I want to quit school and take our GED exams to get our
diplomas."

"What did they say?" Tom asked.

Kim giggled.  "They didn't say no.  Mom said we had to talk with our
dads too, but not until we get home.  How do you guys feel about it?"

"I think it's a good idea, Kim.  We really don't need to graduate
from high school-do we?  I mean we can get our GED like Sally said. 
I want to learn to operate our yacht and be a captain when I'm old
enough," Jack said.  "That's the kind of school I want to go to."

Tom nodded.  "Are we going to finish this year?  Our parents already
paid Lisa's mom for the rest of the year."

"I think we should, Tom, but instead of taking the normal classes,
we should have her teach what we'll need to pass our GED.  Kim and I
could take accounting classes to learn about keeping the books for
the business.  I think we'll learn more working on the yacht than we
will in school," Sally said.

The four teens continued talking, trying to convince themselves that
they were making the right decision.  In truth, they all knew what
was going to happen, but they still needed to go through the process
of rationalizing the decision that was clearly obvious to all of them.

* * * * 

Don and Marc finished putting on the eighteenth green and then
waited for Sam and Jerry.  Once the foursome finished the hole, they
moved away to watch Paul, Brad and Bob hit their approach shots. 
Paul took his shot first and landed the ball just short of the green.
Brad's shot made the green, leaving him a twenty-foot putt.  When Bob
hit his wedge from the fairway, the ball landed five feet from the
pin and spun back to within a foot.

"Nice shot, Bob.  You too, boys," Jerry said.  "I wish I could play
like that."

Bob smiled and said, "Come to the golf course and take lessons,
Jerry."

"I plan on it.  I want to improve my game, but I know I don't have
the time to get half as good as you and your sons."

"It doesn't really matter as long as you enjoy the game, Jerry."

Bob and his sons putted out and the group went to the clubhouse to
have something cold to drink.  After adding up their scorecards, the
men compared them.  Don and Jerry both shot ninety-eights.  Sam shot
one hundred two and Marc shot ninety-nine.

"How did you and the boys do?" Jerry asked.

"Paul shot eighty, Brad shot seventy seven and I shot a sixty eight."

"Damn, Bob, you should be on the pro circuit," Sam said.

Bob laughed.  "No, that score on a course like this isn't that good.
The pros would do much better.  On the pro circuit, the courses are
much harder and longer."

"Is that what you have in mind for your course, Bob?" Sam asked.

"Not a full championship course, but I want it to be harder than the
public courses in the area.  If it's designed correctly, we can make
the course play very tough from the blue tees and still let the high
handicap golfers score well from the white tees."

"Are you anxious to get started on the course?" Sam said.

"Hell yes!  I can't wait until we get back to Michigan so I can get
going.  I have a lot of notes and even more ideas.  I think the boys
and I can turn the course into a real winner.  Paul and Brad are over
talking with the grounds keeper of this course right now; they want
to know about the sand they use in the traps."

Sam looked confused.  "Isn't sand, sand?"

"Hardly.  The sand they use down here doesn't pack like the sand in
most of the northern courses.  I'm planning on having it trucked in
if it doesn't cost too much."

Marc finished his iced tea and then said, "You and Dianne take care
of the house first, Bob.  It'll be too cold to do much on the course
when we get back."

"I know.  Dianne has already talked to Joanne.  She is going to help
with the decorating.  I plan to be moved in a month or so.  It will
be easier to work on the golf course if we're living there.  Dianne
and Lisa are really excited about the house."

Sam chuckled.  "You guys are going to keep my wife busy for a long
time.  Jo is so hyped she can hardly sleep."

"That should be good for you, Sam," Don said.

The men laughed and then Sam shook his head.  "Not really, she talks
about decorating while we're screwing."

"You need to put something in her mouth," Marc offered and then
laughed.

"I do, but she keeps taking it out to talk."  Sam chuckled.  "I
guess things could be worse."

"Yeah they could," Jerry said.  "She could just talk instead of suck
cock and talk."

"Jo is turning into a real wild woman," Sam said.  "It's isn't just
the sex, she just seems so alive."

"That's what happens when someone gets to do what they really want
to do, Sam.  Joanne is finally getting a chance to do what she
dreamed of.  How would you like to work at a job you didn't really
like?" Don said.

"I didn't think of that, Don, but I think you're right.  Joanne
always said she liked selling furniture, but she never talked about
it like she has been about decorating.  I hope it lasts."

Jerry looked up from his beverage and smiled at Sam.  "That's up to
you, Sam.  If you take her for granted and don't offer support in her
new endeavor, she'll either resent you or throw herself into her
work.  If you help her, she'll continue to grow and you'll both have
fun."

"I think Jo had fun with Liz and the girls, Jerry.  Doesn't it
bother you when Liz does things like that?"

"No, not at all. Sam.  Liz is just exploring herself.  She doesn't
mind when I do the same thing.  Neither of us ever fools around when
the other isn't there or at least know about it."  Jerry chuckled. 
"The girls like their time together."

"This is kind of hard to get used to."  Sam took a deep breath and
let it out slowly.  "I think Jo wants to join in at one of your
little parties."

"How do you feel about it, Sam?" Don asked.

"I'm not really sure, Don.  I've thought about it and don't know how
I'd react.  I know Jo got all turned on when you touched her in the
pool-she told me she was excited by it.  I didn't feel jealous
because I knew it was all in fun."

"It's something you both have to agree on and be comfortable with,
Sam.  If you aren't, it will cause problems," Marc said.

"I just never thought of myself as a swinger or anything like that. 
Hell, I would have bet my life Jo would have never considered it, but
now I'm pretty sure she wants to."

"One thing I can assure you is that if anyone ever says no, it's no!
No one in our group is going to try to make someone do something they
don't want to do," Bob said.  "If you decide to try, just keep an
open mind."

"Sam, it's just for fun, fun and sex.  As far as I'm concerned, I'd
rather swing than find out Liz was having an affair.  We were really
in a rut sexually, but that's changed big time," Jerry told his
friend.

"It's a lot more than just sex, Sam.  We're all good friends too. 
Our lifestyle is strange to most, but not to us.  If no one gets
hurt, all's fair as far as I'm concerned.  Before our families had
money, we used to party because we couldn't afford to do much else." 
Don grinned.  "Marc, Marge, Anne and I have been having fun together
since we were teens."

Paul and Brad came back and the men halted the conversation.  The
boys had a name and address of a supplier that could provide the sand
Bob wanted for the course.  Paul gave his dad the information and
began talking about the method the grounds keeper used to provide
drainage for the sand traps.

The group finished their drinks and headed back to the mansion to
see if their wives had returned from the shopping trip.  While Don
drove, Bob and his sons talked about the golf course they just played
and how they could incorporate some of the features into their course.

"It looks like the women are back," Sam said as Don pulled into the
drive and parked the van.

"I just hope they didn't buy out the stores.  We still have to get
all of our things home," Marc said with a chuckle.

Don shut off the van and the group climbed out.  They went into the
house and looked for their wives.  Marge, Anne, Liz, Dianne and
Joanne were all sitting on the patio talking about the past few days.

"Where are the kids?" Marc asked as he walked over to Anne and gave
her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Hi, Honey, I think their in the house.  They were all trying to
decide about school."

Don pulled a chair next to Marge's and sat down.  "What are they
trying to decide?"

"If they should finish or just get their GEDs.  I think they have
already made up their minds, but are still trying to come to grips
with their decision.  Anne and I told them they would have to ask you
and Marc if it was okay," Marge said.

"Dianne, what do you think?  After all, you're going to be their
teacher for the next term," Don asked.

"Honestly, I think they should finish high school, but I'm a
teacher.  The reality of it is they really don't need a diploma if
they aren't going to try to enter the workforce.  They could always
take classes that interest them or the feel they need."  Dianne said.
"The only thing they really need a high school diploma for is to go
to college and the GED will serve the same purpose."

"They said they could use the next few months to prepare for the
GED," Anne said.  "Is that something you can help them with, Dianne?"

"Yes.  It would be fairly easy for them to pass the exam.  It deals
with the basics for the most part.  I could test them and then work
on their weaknesses.  By the time Kim and Sally are sixteen, they
could be ready."

"It's fine with me," Marc said.  "I just hope they don't regret
their decision if they decide not to finish."

"If you don't mind me saying so, I think the four of them will do
fine.  I'd be willing to help them with anything they need to know
about accounting," Sam said.  "They wouldn't really learn much about
that in high school anyhow."

"You know, they could always go back to school if they decided to."
Liz smiled at her husband.  "I know for a fact you're never too old
to learn."

Joanne began to laugh.  "How true!"

"We're talking about education, not sex," Dianne said and then she
laughed.  "Seriously, with the trips Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally are
going to have to make down here, they won't have a lot of time for
studying.  If they want to learn what they need for the GED, I'll
teach them."

"I think we should wait and let them ask," Don said.  "They have to
start making the important decisions in their lives.  We can offer
advice, but I think it's time to let them grow up."

"Don, the girls are only fifteen," Marge said.  "Do you think that's
a good idea?"

"How old were you and my sister?"

Anne chuckled and said, "The same age.  Don's right, we didn't turn
out too bad." 

"What is the plan for our last night here?" Joanne asked.

"I think we should have dinner at the house, the kids caught some
fish today and gave them to Rosa to prepare," Marge said.  "I have to
pack too."

"We all need to pack, Marge.  What time is the flight?" Anne asked.

"The flight is at two.  We'll have plenty of time to get ready.  I
think we should leave for the airport at about eleven thirty," Don
said.  "We have to turn in the vans and have our luggage checked."

Jerry turned to Don and Marc.  "Have you thought about what the kids
are going to do for transportation when they come down to check on
the boat?"

"Not really," Marc said.

"Well, they won't be able to rent a car, they're not old enough. 
Maybe you should consider buying a vehicle for down here.  They're
going to need something to haul food and things for the yacht," Jerry
said.

"Why is it that every time you have an idea, it costs me money?" Don
asked.

"Like the cost of a truck is going to break you.  The vehicle would
belong to the business," Jerry said.  "You could find something in
Michigan, let the kids drive it down and fly back."

"We'll talk to them and see how they feel about it, Jerry.  I think
it's a good idea," Marc said.

Marge put her hand on Don's arm and said, "Why don't we give them
the Suburban, Honey.  Then we could get one of those Lincoln
Navigators you like so much."

"That is a great idea, Marge, but we would sell the Suburban to the
business.  Right, Jerry?" Don said.

Jerry laughed and nodded his head.  Sam also laughed and then said,
"You're learning, Don."

During the conversation, Joanne kept writing in a notebook.  Sam
asked what she was doing and she smiled.  "Just making a few notes,
Hun.  I'm making plans for my decorating business and listing the
things I'll need.  I want to make an office in the basement if it's
okay with you."

"Sure, I'll help you."  Sam laughed and grinned at his wife.  "Are
you planning on having a couch in the office?"

"What do I need a couch…" Joanne chuckled.  "Sam, you're terrible!"

"I agree, Jo.  I think a bed would be better," Liz said, causing the
group to laugh.

"You're as bad as my husband, Liz."

"I thought I was pretty good the other day at the pool, Jo."

Joanne blushed and lowered her voice.  "So did I."

"I don't think Sam thinks you were good," Jerry said.  "He lost a
bet.  By the way, Sam, when are we going to settle up?"

"Don't hold your breath, Jerry.  I'd rather owe you than cheat you
out of it."  Sam chuckled.  "I thought we were just fooling around."

"Liz and Jo were fooling around, that's why you lost the bet," Jerry
said.

"I made you lose, Sammy, maybe I should pay your debt," Joanne said.

"Sammy?"  Jerry laughed.  "I didn't know you went by Sammy."

"I don't!  Jo calls me that, but no one else."

"Okay, Sammy.  I don't want your wife to pay your debts."

"Are you saying you don't want a blowjob from Jo?" Liz asked and
then chuckled.

"No, I'm not saying that at all.  I'm saying that I don't want her
to do it to settle her husband's bet."  Jerry leered at Joanne and
winked.  "I'd love to have a blowjob from Jo.  Hell, I'd love one
from almost anyone."

Anne laughed and said.  "I've never met a man that didn't love
having his dick sucked."

Marc grinned at his wife.  "You've never met a man you didn't want
to suck!"

"That's not true, Marc!  I don't just go around giving blowjobs." 
Anne chuckled.  "I only suck the dicks of men I know and like."

Dianne shook her head and said, "How did we go from an office in
Jo's basement to cock sucking?"

"We're talking with men, Dianne.  You know that they will eventually
get around to sex," Marge said.

"I certainly hope so," Dianne responded.

The group laughed and made a few comments about some of times they
got together in the past.  Joanne listened intently and felt herself
getting excited at the idea.  The night she fooled around with Sam in
front of the others had opened her eyes and mind.  Since that fateful
night, she was transforming from a woman that would only engage in
sex in the dark and privacy of her bedroom to a sensual being.  She
found her thoughts were often consumed with the things she'd seen and
learned.

Joanne's Victorian attitudes about sex and nudity were slowly but
surely being replaced with ideas that had once seemed vulgar.  She
wanted to explore her newfound moral freedom and venture into
uncharted waters.  Joanne decided she wanted to join in with the
others as a participant instead of an observer.  Her only stumbling
block was her husband.  Even though they had talked about it, she
wondered how he would react if her desires came to fruition.  While
her desires were strong, they weren't as strong as her love for Sam. 
She would just have to wait and see.

"Jo, are you still with us?" Marge asked.

"What?  Oh, yeah, I'm here."  Joanne chuckled.  "Just thinking."

"Does anyone want a drink?" Jerry asked.

"Sure, I'll give you a hand, Jerry."

Don and Jerry took requests for drinks and went into the house to
fill them.  The women asked for wine and the men all decided on cold
beer.  Don took two bottles of white wine out of the refrigerator at
the bar while Jerry got the cans of beer.  When they returned to the
patio, they served the drinks.

"I love that skirt on you, Lisa," Megan said as the two girls tried
on the things they'd purchased on their shopping trip that afternoon.
They were in the room Megan had been sharing with Jack.

Lisa turned slowly, showing off the long off-white gauze skirt she
was wearing.  "Which top do you think I should wear with it?"

Megan picked up a peasant blouse with a low elastic neckline and
handed it to her topless lover.  Lisa took the top and grinned.

"Should I wear a bra?"  Megan shook her head.  "You like to see my
boobs wiggling around, don't you?"

"Yes."  Megan moved to Lisa and fondled her breasts with both hands.
She gave Lisa a kiss and giggled.

Lisa put on the top and once again modeled the outfit.  Megan
stepped back so she could get a better view.

"You shouldn't wear red panties with that, Lisa.  I think a white
thong would look great with it."

"My butt will show if I stand in bright light."

"I know; I like your butt."  Megan giggled.

Lisa pulled the skirt up around her waist, rolled her panties down
and kicked them away.  She let the skirt fall and then she grinned. 
"Better?"

"Much better."  Megan put her hands on Lisa's bottom and began to
massage it.

Slowly, Megan worked the skirt up until her hands were gripping
Lisa's bare flesh.  The two girls began to kiss one another while
Megan pulled Lisa closer to her.  Their breasts mashed together and
both of them let out throaty moans.

"Mmmm, that feels so nice, Meg."  Lisa kissed the redhead's nose and
smiled.

"I have to agree with you, Lisa, it feels wonderful."

After giving Lisa another kiss, Megan removed her hands and let the
skirt drop.  She took Lisa's hand, led her to the bed and they sat
down next to one another.

"Wouldn't it be great if we could get an apartment together, Lisa? 
We could sleep with each other every night."

"Oh yes, that would be great, but how could we afford it?  You have
college and I have to finish high school.  Neither of us would really
have time to work and make enough money."

"You're right, but it doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice."  Megan took
a deep breath.  "Are you sure we're doing the right thing, Lisa?  I
still feel bad about what I'm doing to Jack.  He is the greatest guy
a girl could ever hope for."

"So is Tom, he has never treated me bad.  Megan, I don't know if
what we're doing is right or not-how could I.  I know I love you and
want to be with you.  It isn't that I don't like guys; I just love
you.  I get all tingly inside when we're together.  Tom makes me feel
like that, but not like you do."

Megan nodded.  "I know, I guess it will take some time to really
figure things out, Sweetie."  Megan fell back on the bed and started
at the ceiling.  "Do you think we'll still want to have sex with the
guys?  With any guys?"

"I think so, Meg.  You know what Jeri and April said about it.  They
still get laid from time to time.  We've all screwed each other and
done other things.  I hope Tom will still want to have sex even if
that's all it is."

Lisa stretched out on her side next to Megan and propped her head on
her hand.  She put her other hand on Megan's stomach and under the
top she wore.  Lisa slowly rubbed Megan's belly and moved higher. 
When Lisa's hand covered one of Megan's breasts, Megan sighed.

Leaning close, Lisa placed her mouth on Megan's and the two of them
shared a tender kiss.  They nibbled at one another's lips and flicked
their tongues in and out of the other's mouth.  Lisa continued to
massage Megan's breast as their kissing grew in passion.

Megan began stroking Lisa's leg and tugged on her skirt until she
could feel the warm soft flesh of her bottom.  Lisa bent her knee and
opened her legs so Megan could touch her sex.  Lisa groaned into
Megan's mouth when she felt her lover's fingers on her vulva.

Lisa and Megan touched and kissed as their passion grew.  The kisses
became hotter and their hands explored more and more of each other's
bodies.  Megan rolled Lisa onto her back, moved between her legs and
started to lick her heated vulva.  She used her fingers to part
Lisa's labia and tasted her sweetness.  Lisa moaned and grabbed her
own breasts as Megan's tongue brought her to an orgasm.  As her body
jerked and moved, Megan kept her mouth attached to Lisa's sex.

When Lisa's body went limp, Megan moved up and kissed her.  Lisa
used her tongue to lick around Megan's mouth and clean her juices
from her skin.

"I love you, Lisa."

"I love you too, Meg. Thank you for making me cum.  Want me to do
you now?"

Megan nodded and lay back on the bed.  Lisa slowly undressed her and
began to kiss her breasts.  Lisa knew how sensitive Megan's nipples
were and sucked on both of them one at a time.  When Lisa kissed her
way down her chest and stomach, Megan spread her legs and waited to
feel her tongue.

Lisa nibbled at Megan's clit with her lips and tapped against it
with her tongue.  She used two fingers to enter Megan's vagina and
began to stroke her inner walls.  Megan rose up and supported herself
on her arms so she could watch Lisa between her legs.

Looking up, Lisa's eyes met Megan's and she moaned into her crotch. 
Megan smiled, closed her eyes and fell back on the bed.  It only took
a few minutes for Lisa to make Megan's body start quivering and bring
her to climax.

Completely sated, the two girls lay next to one another and hugged. 
Megan was feeling her body calm down and wiggled closer to Lisa.  As
she lay in Lisa's arms, Megan realized that this was what she wanted.
After cuddling for a few minutes, they got up so Megan could get
dressed.

"Lisa, maybe you could move in to my house with me.  I don't think
my parents would care."

"Really?  I'd love to, but I don't know if my parents would let me. 
Dad and Mom are expecting me to help with the new house and golf
course."  Lisa smiled.  "Maybe you could move in with me."

"That's a good idea too.  I'll be gone most of the day and then we
could be together at night.  I know I'll have a lot of studying to
do, but we would be close."

"Let's talk to our parents when we get home, Meg."

"Okay, I think we should do it together."

Megan began to talk about how life would be if they lived together. 
They talked about sharing a room and a bed.

* * * * 

Brad lay on his bed with his hand in his unzipped shorts.  Paul came
in to see his brother hanging up the phone.

"Who were you talking to, Brad?"

"Craig, I called him."  Brad pulled his hand out of his shorts and
smiled at his brother.

"How is Craig doing?"

"Great.  He's looking forward to coming to Michigan."

"How about Cindy, did he say anything about her?"  Paul sat on the
bed near his brother.

Brad chuckled.  "He said she's fine.  I guess they tried to screw
again, but Craig couldn't get it up.  He said they're still friends
though.  He told me Ellen chased him around the resort until he left."

"Are you planning to see him when he comes to Michigan?"

"Yeah, we plan on getting together.  He may come for a visit before
school starts.  Craig told me he was going to learn to play golf."

Paul glanced at Brad's crotch and noticed a bulge.  He pointed and
said, "Phone sex?"

Brad nodded as he tried to adjust his erection.  "We were just
talking."

"Must have been some pretty hot talk, Brad."

"It was.  I really like Craig."

"I can see that."  Paul reached over and patted his brother's lump,
leaving his hand on it.  "I think you like him a lot."

Brad nodded.  "I miss him, Paul.  Craig and I had fun at the resort."

Paul began massaging his brother's penis and smiled.  "You have
decided you're gay, haven't you?"

"Yes, the way I feel when I think about Craig-well you know."

"Like it used to be with Sally?"

"No, it's different.  I really have feelings for Sally, but not like
I do for Craig."

"How does Craig feel about you, Brad?"

"The same, from what he says.  He told me he isn't interested in
finding a boyfriend.  Craig said he would wait until he sees me
again.  I'd like to have a chance to spend some time alone with him
to see if our feelings are real."

Paul fished Brad's hard penis out of his boxers and started to
gently stroke him.  Brad let out a muffled groan and closed his eyes.
Paul began to increase the pressure of his hand and the speed of his
full strokes.

"Does this feel good, Brad?"

Brad nodded.  "Yeah, it feels great-you don't have to do it, Paul."

"I don't mind.  I've always liked it when we fooled around.  What
are brothers for?"

"What about Kim?"

"Kim and I have agreed to be friends, but that's it.  I can't
compete with her brother.  She loves Jack more than she could ever
love me-or anyone else.  Maybe she'll find someone, but it wouldn't
surprise me if she and her brother spent the rest of their lives
together."

"Do you think Megan will be able to handle it?"

Paul chuckled.  "Where have you been, Brad?  Lisa and Megan are
together now.  Haven't you seen the way they act around each other?"

"I guess I haven't been paying attention."  Brad pulled away from
his brother and sat up.  "I guess that leaves you alone, doesn't it?"

Paul nodded.  "Kim and I will probably screw around and stuff, but
just for fun.  Maybe Cindy will need a boyfriend when she moves to
Michigan."  Paul chuckled.  "We could always double date if things
worked out."

"I have Cindy's number if you want to call her, Paul.  I'll bet
she'd like to hear from you."

"Do you think so?"

Brad smiled.  "Craig said she told him she thought you were cute."

"Maybe he just wants her to like someone else so she'll leave him
alone."

"Craig said he and Cindy talked a lot after we left.  He told me she
didn't have a boyfriend at home."

"Do you know how old she is, Brad?"

"Seventeen I think, the same age as Craig."

"She wouldn't want to go out with me, I'm younger than she is."

"Don't be too sure, maybe age doesn't matter to her."  Brad reached
over and fondled Paul through his shorts.  "Besides, you're cock is
just a nice as an older guys."

"Thanks, but I think Cindy would want more than just sex, Brad."

Brad laughed.  "I don't know, Craig said she was relentless when she
was trying to get him to fuck her.  He said she would give him a
blowjob at the drop of a dime."

"Sounds like my kind of girl."  Paul laughed out loud.

Brad smiled at his brother and then said, "I can take care of that
for you if you want me to."

"Take care of what?"

"I'll give you a blowjob if you want me to."  Brad once again rubbed
his brother and grinned.

"Maybe I'll take you up on that-I'll return the favor too.  Like I
said, I always liked it when we fooled around.  I know I'm bisexual
and I like having sex with guys almost as much as I do with girls."

"Yeah, I know.  I like having sex with you, but I really need more. 
I want to have a relationship too."

"Do you think Craig would be pissed if he found out that you and I
fooled around?"

"I don't know, but I don't think so.  He understands just like I do.
I doubt he will do without until we get together again.  Craig says
he has to be careful where he lives.  He told me his town is full of
homophobic rednecks that will beat the shit out of someone if they
find out their gay."

"That's too bad.  I would hate to live in fear and have to hide my
feelings.  I'll bet he's anxious to get to Michigan.  At least there
are places he can go with out getting beat up because of his
sexuality."

Brad nodded, got up and fastened his shorts.  "Maybe we can stay
together tonight, Paul."

Paul smiled and said, "Count on it."

Brad hugged his brother and sighed.  "Thanks for understanding,
Paul.  I think it's going to be hard on Mom and Dad when they realize
I'm gay and Lisa is lesbian."

"Don't underestimate our parents, Brad.  They'll understand.  We
should pack our stuff and move it into the same room.  Let's go find
Kim and Sally so we can let them know."

Paul and Brad left the room and went outside.  Kim, Sally, Jack and
Tom were sitting by the pool in their bathing suits.  The twin
brothers went to the pool and asked Kim and Sally if they could talk
to them.

Kim and Sally got up and walked down to the boat with the two boys. 
They sat on a bench and stared out into the water.

"What's up?" Sally asked.

"Paul and I are going to pack our things and move them into one
room.  Which room do you two want?" Brad said.

Kim and Sally shared a glance.  "It doesn't matter, Brad.  I'll move
my stuff into Kim's room.  Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I talked to Craig today."

Kim got up, took Paul's hand and pulled him to his feet.  They held
hands as they walked away so Brad and Sally could be alone.

"Really?  How is he doing?"

"He's fine.  He told me that he and Cindy never fooled around again.
They tried, but he wasn't into it."

Sally smiled.  "Looking forward to seeing him, Brad?"

Brad nodded.

"I hope things work out for you guys-I really do."

"Thanks, Sally.  You know I still have feelings for you, don't you?"

"Yeah, I know.  I also know that you have stronger feelings for
Craig."  Sally turned, put her arms around Brad's neck and kissed his
cheek.  "I hope we can still be friends, Brad.  I understand how you
feel, but I don't want it to come between our friendships.  I know it
sounds lame, but I really do want to be friends."

"It doesn't sound lame to me, Sally, not at all.  There aren't many
girls that would be as understanding as you are."

"Brad, I've known for quite awhile-ever since the resort.  I know
you couldn't do the things I asked of you and that your heart wasn't
in it.  To be honest, I don't think I could have remained submissive
much longer.  I just wanted to try it to see if it would make a
difference in our relationship."  Sally smiled and hugged Brad.

"I love the time we've been together and will always cherish what we
had, but I want you to be happy and I don't think you could be, not
with me or any other girl-not right now.  Maybe things will change."

"Sally, I love you.  Maybe not the way a guy and a girl are supposed
to be in love, but I still love you.  You're the greatest girl in the
world."

Sally grinned.  "If you ever want to get laid, ask me-who knows, I
may be in the mood."

"You are the only one I would ever ask, Sally.  At least the only
girl."

"That makes me feel good-I think."

Brad and Sally sat in silence for a few minutes.  Brad moved her
onto his lap and hugged her.

"I hope you and Tom will be happy, Sally.  I know you two are close."

"We are, Brad-we're very close.  You know how I feel about my
brother."  Sally wiggled in Brad's lap and giggled.  "I'd still like
one of those long fucks once in a while though."

"You would, would you?"  Sally nodded.  "Maybe after I sort things
out, okay?"

"You bet!  Just let me know when you're ready."

Brad and Sally got up, hugged and then kissed each other.  The kiss
was brief with closed mouths.  They walked side by side to where Kim
and Paul were talking.

"Everyone okay now?" Kim asked.

"Great, Kim.  I don't think things could be better," Sally said. 
"How about you two?"

"We're buddies and plan to stay that way."

Kim, Sally, Paul and Brad walked back to the pool.  Kim and Sally
returned to their seats and Paul and Brad left for the house to begin
packing.

* * * * 

Rosa called the group to dinner and served a wonderful meal.  The
fresh baked fish and vegetable medley was tasty.  Once the meal was
finished, the teens helped Rosa clear the table and carry the dirty
dishes into the kitchen.  Rosa thanked them and then shooed them out
of the kitchen.

Kim and Sally had agreed to spend the last night with their
brothers.  The teens all went to their rooms, packed their things and
switched rooms.  When they were finished, Kim and Jack were in one
room; Sally and Tom in another, while the twins were settled into yet
another room.  Lisa and Megan took the room Megan had shared with
Jack.

Once the moves were complete, the teens gathered at the pool for one
last swim before their trip home the next day.  Like usual, they swam
nude and just like in the past, they all frolicked together.  They
splashed and dunked one another not caring who was touching who or
where.  After an hour of play, they got out and relaxed on the
lounges along the edge of the pool.

A little while later, the adults joined the kids at the pool.  Don
and Marc wheeled a cart with the makings of drinks on it.  Like the
teens, the adults were all naked.  Don and Marc parked the cart and
joined the rest of the adults in the pool.  They all swam and enjoyed
the refreshing water for a half hour before getting out and sitting
near the teens.

Don and Marc went to the cart and asked what everyone wanted to
drink.  One by one the adults told them and Don mixed the drinks
while Marc passed them out.

"I'll have a rum and Coke, Dad," Jack said, drawing a laugh from the
other teens.

Much to everyone's surprise, Don mixed the drink for his son.  When
the others saw what happened, they also asked for drinks.  Don and
Marc distributed the drinks to the shocked teens and then sat near
their wives.  After a moment, Don stood up.

Raising his drink, Don asked for everyone's attention.  "Tonight is
the last night we'll all be here together.  I'd like to thank all of
you for a great vacation.  While I can only speak for myself, I know
I've had a great time.  We've met new friends."  He motioned to
Joanne.  "We've played hard and I can't tell you how happy I am to
have shared this time with all of you.

"Jack, Tom, Kim and Sally are at the beginning of a new adventure
and I want to wish them luck.  I remind you kids to remember your
friends and make sure you don't get so involved that you ignore them.
Joanne has been able to pursue her dream of being a decorator and I
wish her well in her new endeavor.  Jo, we'll all help you if we can."

Megan reached for Lisa's hand and held it while Don went on.

"Our children have had new experiences.  They have learned about new
things as well as themselves.  It's clear the relationships they
shared when we came to Florida have changed and I hope things work
out the way you kids want them to.  Just remember that you're all
friends and relationships shouldn't change that.

"What can I say about my wife, my sister and my brother in law?  I
love you guys.  As for Jerry, Liz, Bob, Dianne, Jo and Sam, I love
you guys too.  We've had an opportunity to get know each other a bit
better.

"Life never stands still and ours haven't.  We have grown and
learned just as our children have.  Someday, Joanne and Sam may add a
new member to our little group and I hope we'll welcome the addition
if it comes.

"Marge, Marc, Anne and I have bought a new house and we invite all
of you to take advantage of it.  Through our friends and family,
we'll make it a home, a home where everyone is welcome.  I hope the
yacht will be something we can all enjoy."

"You better believe it!" Jack said.

"Thanks, Jack; I'm sure we'll take you guys up on it.  Marc, our
wives and I have discussed the new house and want you to know that
you are welcome without an invitation.  Feel free to show up and
share the house with whoever is there at the time.  The property is
big enough to make all of us comfortable at the same time."

Don held his cup higher and the others all stood.  "To friends and
friendships, the most important things in the world.  Without
friends, we're alone and sure to suffer.  If we nurture our
friendships, we'll all be the better for it."

"Here, here."  The group said in unison and then they all took a
drink.

Don sat down and the group broke into several conversations.  

Kim leaned over and whispered into her brother's ear.  "Let's go to
the house and leave our parents alone."

Jack nodded and then he and Kim passed the word.  They finished the
weak drinks Don had prepared for them and got up.

"We're going to head to the house," Jack said.  "I think there's a
good movie on television.  See you in the morning."

The teens all told the adults goodnight and walked to the house. 
They went to the recreation room and sat as couples on the couches
and chairs.  Tom turned on the television and found a movie they all
agreed to watch.

"My dad's right," Jack said.  "We should all remain friends.  I know
things have changed for all of us, but that doesn't mean we can't get
along.  I know Megan and Lisa are in love and as far as I'm
concerned, they should be allowed to be happy.  As much as I love
Megan, I wouldn't want to see her unhappy."

"I agree.  I love Lisa and want her to have whatever she wants." 
Tom turned to Lisa and smiled.  "I hope we can continue to take
pictures and work in the darkroom together."

"We can, Tom.  I look forward to it."

Kim smiled and cleared her throat.  "I want things to work out for
all of us too."

Brad and Paul didn't say anything for a moment and then Brad spoke
up.  "I don't know what to say.  I guess everyone knows about how I
feel about Craig.  Thanks for being good friends and understanding."

One by one the teens expressed their feelings.  They all agreed that
hanging onto the friendships that they shared was important and they
would all strive to preserve the relationships.  Kim and Sally made
no secret of their feelings for their brothers and no one questioned
them.  Once everyone had had their say, the group became quiet and
watched television.

* * * * 

Don and Marc freshened everyone's drinks.  They sat down with their
wives and enjoyed the warm evening.

"I don't know how I can ever thank you guys," Joanne said.  "These
past few days have been a real eye opener for me.  I have discovered
the true meaning of friends.  Never in my wildest dreams would I have
thought that I would be able to become a full time decorator.  You
have made my dream come true and I can only hope I'll make the best
of it."

Liz chuckled.  "That's not all you've become, is it, Jo?"

"No, it isn't.  I've also become a woman that I hope my wonderful
husband likes better than the old Joanne."

"I never disliked you, Honey.  I've always loved you with all my
heart."

"You're so sweet, Sam.  I just hope we can make up for lost time."

"Nothing to make up for, Jo."

"Oh yes there is, at least for me.  I want to make up for my lost
time if not yours."

"We don't lose anything, Jo, we just learn and move forward," Marge
said.  "Take your time and enjoy the trip."

Joanne laughed and said, "I plan on it, Marge and I plan on making
the trip enjoyable for Sam."  She turned to her husband and gave him
a kiss.  "What ever he wants to try, I'm in.  If it's something I
don't like, I know I don't have to do it again."

"We'd love to have you at one of our little parties," Don said. 
"Just don't feel pressured to join in if you don't want to.  We all
want things to be fun."

"I'm willing to give it a try," Sam said.  "What can it hurt if Jo
and I agree?"

"It isn't something that everyone can handle, Sam.  It can be hard
to see your partner having sex with someone else," Anne said.  "You
just have to keep in mind that it's just sex and nothing else.  While
we all care for one another, we all know that we're going to end up
with our spouses."

"I wouldn't want it any other way," Jo said.  "I love my husband and
want to spend the rest of my life with him."

Jerry laughed and said, "Why would anyone want to live with a guy
that welshes on a bet?"

"Damn, Jerry, are you going to keep harping on that?" Sam said.

"You bet I am, Sam.  You don't think I'm going to let you live it
down do you?"

"It doesn't look like it."  Sam lifted his wife off his legs and
stood up.  He went to the drink cart, poured pure vodka over the ice
in his cup and drank it down.  After wiping his mouth with the back
of his hand, he went to where Jerry was sitting.

Sam didn't look at Jerry as he grabbed a towel and knelt on it.  He
reached between Jerry's legs, wrapped his hand around his penis and
tugged on it for a moment.  After taking a deep breath, Sam leaned
forward and put the end of Jerry's member into his mouth.

"Oh my God, he's doing it!" Joanne said as she moved closer to her
kneeling husband.

Sam pulled his mouth off Jerry, looked up and laughed.  "I'm no
fucking welsher!"

Fully expecting Jerry to put a stop to things, Sam returned his
mouth to the growing penis he held in his hand.  Jerry opened his
legs and groaned as Sam's mouth surrounded his penis.  Joanne knelt
next to her husband and reached for his penis.  She was a little
surprised when she found he was erect.

Sam began to get into what he was doing and slid his mouth up and
down the thick shaft of Jerry's member.  While he did, Joanne stroked
him.

"Sam, I can't tell you how hot it is to watch you," Joanne said in a
whisper.

Sam acknowledged his wife with a moan and kept on sucking on Jerry's
penis.  Joanne glanced around and noticed that everyone was watching
her husband give Jerry a blowjob.

"Honey, I want to suck your cock while you do it to Jerry.  Spread
your legs so I can get between them."

Sam moved his knees apart and Joanne lay on her back.  She scooted
between his legs and took Sam's penis in her hand.  After stroking it
for a moment, she pulled it down and into her mouth.  Sam lurched
forward and pushed his member into his wife's mouth as he worked on
Jerry's.

The angle was wrong for Sam and his wife so Joanne stopped.  She
moved out from between his legs.  Joanne pulled his mouth off Jerry
and gave him a kiss.  "Let me finish it for you, Honey."

Joanne covered Jerry's penis with her mouth, but Sam pulled her
away.  "No, I lost the bet and I'm the one that's going to pay."

Sam went back to Sam's penis while his wife watched.  She began to
stroke Sam as he bobbed his head on Jerry's shaft.  Sam had his hand
wrapped around the part of Jerry's penis he couldn't take in his
mouth and pumped his fist in unison with his mouth.

It began to rain and Don said they should go into the house.  After
giving Jerry's penis one last stroke, Sam released it and stood up. 
Don and Marc took the cart while the women gathered the towels.

Once the group was in the house, Don freshened everyone's drink. 
Marge went to check on the kids and found them in the recreation room
watching television.  She told them the adults didn't want to be
disturbed and told them good night.

When she returned to the living room, she sat next to Don and
accepted her drink from him.  The group made small talk until Sam
looked at Jerry and asked if they were even.

Jerry laughed and nodded his head.

"Good, the next time I do that will because I want to," Sam said.

Joanne snuggled against her husband and giggled.  "You didn't mind?"

"No, not really.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be."

"Would you do it again?"

"Maybe, why?"

"I was just wondering, it really turned me on to watch you," Joanne
whispered.  "In fact, I'd like to go to bed and fuck your brains out."

Sam laughed and said, "Later, Baby.  I want to finish my drink and
talk for a while."

"Okay, if you don't want me, maybe someone else does," Joanne said
loud enough for every one to hear her.

Sam leaned close to Joanne and kissed her ear before whispering to
her.  "I don't know if the others are going to fool around, Jo.  If
they do, you can do what ever you want."

"What if I start it?  What if I go over and start fooling around
with Liz?"

"Is that what you want to do?"  Joanne chuckled and nodded.  "Then
go for it."

Joanne drank some of the booze in her glass and got up.  She went
over to the couch Liz was sharing with her husband and sat next to
her.  Liz smiled at Joanne and then winked.  Without saying a word,
Joanne slipped onto the floor and pushed Liz's legs apart.  She
looked up into Liz's eyes as her mouth moved closer to her sex.

Liz reached out with one hand and stroked Joanne's hair as she
pulled her face against her crotch.  Joanne extended her tongue and
licked the length of the puffy labia, tasting the tangy juices.  Liz
moaned and leaned back as Joanne began to probe her with her tongue.

While she licked and chewed at Liz, Joanne felt a pair of hands on
her hips.  When they pulled up, Joanne stood without removing her
head from between Liz's legs.  She felt fingers rubbing her vulva and
moaned into Liz's crotch.  When she felt her vagina being entered,
Joanne didn't look to see who was fingering her.

After a few moments, the fingers pulled out of Joanne and were
replaced with a penis.  The moment it entered her, Joanne knew it
wasn't her husband's.  Part of her wanted to look to see who was
slowly pushing their member into her, but she decided to just let it
happen.  Soon she was filled and the person behind her began to move.

Marc gripped Joanne's hips and began to move in and out of her. 
Each time he moved forward, he pushed Joanne's face into Liz's
crotch.  Liz moaned and gripped Joanne's head with both hands.  After
a few minutes of steady movement behind her, Joanne felt the penis
pull out of her.  She groaned in disappointment, but soon another one
filled her.

Joanne continued to kiss Liz's sex while the men took turns screwing
her from behind.  Liz reached her climax and groaned out loud as
Joanne sucked on her clitoris.  When she was sated, she pulled
Joanne's head up and away from her sex.  Joanne let out sharp grunts
as Don moved behind her.

Feeling a penis at her mouth, Joanne opened up and let the hard
member in.  She clamped her lips around it and began to move her
head.  Opening her eyes and looking up, she saw she was sucking on
her husband.

Don pulled out of her vagina and Joanne felt someone's mouth.  A
tongue probed her opening and a finger teased her clit.  Two hands
began to massage her breasts and she felt like her mind was being
separated from her body.  Things became a blur as hands gripped her
breasts and a tongue and fingers worked on her vagina.

The sensation was more than Joanne could stand and her body shook as
a strong orgasm overtook her.  She shoved her head forward and gagged
as Sam's penis entered her throat.  Joanne swallowed and tried to
control the reflex as her husband pumped his penis in and out.

Joanne could see little white spots moving around with her closed
eyes.  Her body tightened and then her mouth was filled with semen. 
She swallowed as fast as she could while Sam's penis throbbed in her
mouth.  Joanne's legs gave way and she slipped onto the carpeted
floor.  Sam knelt next to her and pushed her hair off her sweat-
covered brow.

"Are you okay, Jo?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, Sam.  Who fucked me?"

"Everyone did, Jo.  Everyone but me."

"Wow, that was something, Sam.  Why didn't you do me too?"

Sam chuckled.  "Because I was doing it to someone else."

Joanne looked into her husband's eyes.  "Who?"

"Marge, Anne and Dianne."

"You didn't cum?"

"No, I saved that for you."

"Thanks."

Joanne sat up and leaned against the back of the couch.  She looked
around and saw that the others were still engaged.  Bob was with Liz,
screwing her in the doggie position.  Dianne and Don were busy
together while Marge and Jerry had their heads between one another's
legs.  Marc was on his back with his wife's crotch covering his face.

Taking Sam by the hand, Joanne got up and pulled her husband over to
Marc and Anne.  She guided his penis into Anne's mouth and then
lowered herself on Marc's erection.  Placing her hands on Marc's
knees, she began to bounce up and down on his member.

The room was filled with the sound of slapping flesh and moaning. 
Bob finished with Liz, moved over to Joanne and dangled his flaccid
slick penis in front of her face.  Joanne took it into her mouth and
cleaned the juices from it as she continued to ride Marc.  A half
hour later, the group was exhausted and sated.

When Don suggested a dip in the pool, they all followed him out and
jumped in.  The group swam around and cooled their overheated bodies
in the refreshing water.  Sam and Joanne came together in waist deep
water and shared a kiss.

"Well, what do you think, Jo?"

"Honestly?"

Sam nodded.

"I think we've found something new we can do together.  That is if
you're okay with it."

"I am.  It was fun, not to mention very exciting.  Seeing you like
that was really hot."

"Like what?"

"Enjoying yourself, Jo.  You had a big grin on your face-when I
could see it."

"Are you going to have enough energy to make love to me tonight,
Sam?  I've been sucked and fucked and now I want to make love to you."

"You bet your sweet ass I do."

"Good, let's go to bed."

Sam and Joanne got out of the pool, dried off and then told everyone
goodnight.  They went to their room, got into bed and made love until
neither of them could move.  Wrapped in one another's arms, they fell
asleep.

The rest of the group had also gone to bed.  Don and Anne shared a
room while Marge slept with her brother.  Jerry, Liz, Bob and Dianne
were still feeling a little frisky and shared the same bed for the
night.

Jack and Kim slept together after making love, as did Tom and Sally.
Megan and Lisa spent the night cuddling and fell asleep in each
other's arms.  Paul and Brad didn't fool around, but slept in the
same bed.

* * * * 

The next morning was busy.  Everyone was up and moving around the
house early.  Rosa made a buffet style breakfast so the group could
eat at their leisure.  The men packed the vans with the suitcases and
other things that would be going back.  By noon, they were ready to
go to the airport.

In the living room, the entire group sat on the couches and chairs,
waiting until it was time to leave.  Don took Rosa into the kitchen
and gave her an envelope.  When Rosa opened it, she began to say it
was too much, but Don insisted she keep it.

Rosa went into the living room and with tears in her eyes, thanking
everyone individually.  She thanked the teens over and over for being
so helpful.  Rosa finally left and went back into the kitchen.

When it was time to leave, the group went out to the vans and got
into them.  Don drove one and Bob drove the other.  Sam and Joanne
followed in the car they had rented.  When they arrived at the
airport, they turned in the vehicles and took a shuttle to the
departure area.  The men checked the luggage and then they all went
in to board their plane.
