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.
