"I think the kids are in for the night.  They're getting up early to
go tuna fishing.  Let's go outside.  I feel like taking a swim," Don
said.  "Who needs a fresh drink?"

Marc helped Don fix new drinks for their wives, Ellen, Sarah, Harry,
and Jack Waters.  They all went down to the pool, placed their
cocktails on small tables and undressed.  Don took Marge's hand and
led her into the warm water.  The rest of the group followed them. 
Everyone swam around for a few minutes and then stopped to rest in
the shallow end of the pool.  Don sat on the edge of the pool with
his legs dangling in the water.  Marge moved between his legs,
resting her arms on Don's thighs.  He put his hands on his wife's
shoulders and massaged her.

"So, what do you hear about the shop, Ellen?" Don said.

"Not too much.  I expected to hear something by now, but Mrs. Akins
hasn't said anything to me," Ellen replied.

"Not knowing must be hard," Anne said.

"It is, but I try not to think about it.  As I said before, if I
lose the job it's no big deal."

"Yeah, but you also say how much you like working there," Sarah
said.  "I don't like my job, but it's better than nothing."

"I've told you a dozen times that you should quit, Sarah.  Since I
started working with Harry, we don't need the money.  No one should
work at a job they don't like if they don't have to, and you don't
have to," Jack Waters told his wife.

"I do like working there.  I've met so many nice people.  I'll miss
my regular customers if the new owner decides to let me go," Ellen
said.

The group got out of the pool.  They pulled their chairs into a
circle so they could look at one another while they talked.  Don made
sure that everyone that wanted one had a drink.  The group sat
enjoying the warm evening and their drinks.  Marge and Anne glanced
at each other and then at Don and Marc.

Leaning close to Marge, Don whispered, "This is your show, Baby,
yours and Anne's."

Marge smiled and nodded.  She winked at Anne and looked at Ellen. 
"Anne and I are thinking about working.  We figure that with the kids
in school and our husbands working on their projects, we'll be bored."

"So, we're wondering if we can get a job at the lingerie shop.  Do
you think you can put in a good word for us?" Anne said.

"I could if I knew what was going to happen with Sheer Delights, but
I don't.  I've hired all of the help for the last few years, ever
since Mrs. Akins made me the manager.  If the new owners keep things
the way they are, I'd be happy to give you two a job," Ellen said.

"That's great, Ellen.  Don said that if Anne and I did special
favors for him and Marc, they'd buy the shop for us," Marge said. 
She giggled when she saw the look on Ellen's face.

It took a moment for what Marge said to sink in.  Ellen looked at
Marge and Anne, her face showing her disbelief.  "If they buy you the
shop, I'll do special favors for them," Ellen finally said.  She
glanced at Harry, giggling when he smiled.

"Are you guys yanking our chains or are you serious?" Harry said.

"We're serious, Harry.  We suck their cocks and they'll buy us the
shop," Anne said and then she laughed.

"Christ, if that's true, I'll suck their cocks," Harry said as he
laughed.

"Look, if we want to fool around, it's fine with me, but that has
nothing to do with business.  Marge, Anne, you should tell Ellen and
Harry the conditions," Don said.

Ellen's shoulders drooped as she nodded at Don.

"We want you to be our partner, Ellen.  Anne and I don't know squat
about running a store," Marge said.

"There's no way we can afford to do that, Marge," Harry said.

"We're not asking for money.  Marc and I will put up the cash and
you girls can pay us back over time.  I feel that if everyone has
skin in the game, they'll work harder to make the venture succeed. 
From what Joel told us, the store is profitable.  We've sent a letter
of intent to Mrs. Akins and Joel is having an accountant audit the
books," Don said.

"I don't know what to say," Ellen said.  She wiped her eyes with the
back of her hand.

"Say yes," Anne said.  "It'll be a blast, Ellen."

Turning to her husband, Ellen said, "What do you think, Honey?"

Harry grinned and nodded.  "I guess I owe you guys a blow job, don't
I?"

Everyone laughed.  Ellen got up and went over to Marge and Anne. 
The two women stood up and they all hugged.  Grinning, Ellen stood
between Marc and Don.  She reached down, wrapped her hands around
their penises, and said, "I'll take care of my husband's debt for
him."  She laughed and released them.

"So what happens next?" Harry said.

"Once Joel finishes his work and he says everything is in order
we'll close on the business.  Until then, we wait," Marc said.

Sarah watched her three friends.  The women shared smiles and then
moved closer so they could talk.  Ellen leaned in and whispered to
Anne and Marge.

"What do you think about asking Sarah if she wants to join us?  She
can have half of my share," Ellen said.

Marge and Anne glanced at each other.  Both of them knew that Ellen
wanted her best friend to become part of the new venture.  They also
understood how important friendship was.

"I think that's a great idea, Ellen.  Sarah can have half of my
share too," Anne said.  Marge nodded in agreement.

"That would make her an equal partner," Ellen said as she blinked a
tear from her eyes.  "Are you sure?"

"Hey, Sarah, what did you do at your old job?" Marge said while
winking at Don.

"I do almost everything at the law firm.  I do the bookkeeping,
manage the office, and whatever they ask me to do.  Wait, what do you
mean by my old job?" Sarah said.

Anne giggled.  "Well, hear that you're the best at giving head so we
decided that we want you as our partner.  Don't forget what we said,
we have to do special favors for Don and Marc so they'll put up the
money."

Marge and Ellen started laughing.  Sarah sat dumbfounded as she let
what her friends said sink in to her mind.  Looking at her husband,
Sarah said, "What do you think, Honey?"

Jack Waters smiled at Sarah.  He glanced at Don, Marc, and Harry,
chuckling when the men nodded.  He stood up, went to his wife, and
pulled her to her feet.  Taking her hand, Jack led Sarah away from
the rest of the group so he could talk to her.

"Is this what you want?" Jack said while holding Sarah in his arms
and looking into her eyes.

"I think it would be fun working in retail with my friends,
Sweetheart.  How do you feel about the idea?"

"Sarah, I want you to do whatever makes you happy.  Our lives have
changed since that day on the boat and I couldn't be happier.  You've
made great strides and you've become the woman I always knew you
could be.  Our kids are doing what they want to do and so am I.  Now
it's time for you to what you want.  If you want to be their partner,
I'll support you."

Leaning her head against her husband's chest, Sarah thought about
the offer and about what Jack said.  She'd thought about leaving her
current job, but didn't say anything because she felt Jack wouldn't
want her to quit.  Now, knowing that her husband would support her if
she did make a change, Sarah felt overwhelmed.  The thought of
leaving a job she'd held for many years was frightening, but the idea
of having a new career was exciting.

Jack ran his hand up and down Sarah's back as she contemplated the
idea.  She tightened her arms around Jack's body, looked up and smiled.

"I want to do it, Jack.  If you say okay, I'll do it," Sarah said.

Jack was about to tell Sarah that it was up to her, but he didn't. 
He tipped her head up, gave her a kiss, and said, "I say you should
go for it."

"Thank you, Baby.  I love you," Sarah said.

Jack chuckled and hugged Sarah.  He moved his hand to her bare
bottom, gave her a squeeze, and said, "Let's go tell them."  He moved
his mouth to her ear, gave Sarah a kiss, and then whispered.

Sarah giggled and looked into her husband's eyes.  He grinned as he
nodded his head.  Together, they walked back to the others.  Jack
took his seat, fighting the urge to grin.  He watched Sarah as she
moved in front of Don and looked down at him.  Without saying a word,
Sarah knelt on the deck.  She put her hands on Don's knees and pushed
his legs apart.

Don watched Sarah move between his legs.  She picked up his penis,
stroked it, and put it in her mouth.  Moaning, Sarah sucked on Don's
member, feeling it grow in her mouth.

"I guess we have a new partner," Marge said.  She laughed as Anne
and Ellen nodded.

Reaching down, Don pulled Sarah away from his penis.  She giggled,
stood up, and said, "Jack said that I should do that to let you know
that I want to be a part of the venture."  She moved to Marc, bent
over, and sucked his penis for a moment.

"Damn, if she keeps that up, I'm going to make a deposit," Marc said.

Sarah began laughing around Marc's penis.  She stood up, turned to
the other women, and giggled.

Marge, Anne, and Ellen got up to hug Sarah.  The four of them
pressed their bodies together and began talking.  Moving to their
chairs, they pulled them into a tight circle so they could discuss
their future.

"You two never cease to amaze me," Jack said as he hoisted his drink
toward Don and Marc.  "Thanks for including Sarah."

"It wasn't us, Jack.  The girls made the decision.  After all, it is
their business, or at least it's going to be theirs.  Unless they ask
for help, I think we should let them run with this," Don said.

Marge and the other women got up.  They told their husbands that
they were going to the house so they could make notes on their ideas
for the shop.  The men nodded and decided to go in too.  Everyone
grabbed their clothing, carrying the items to the house.

Anne grabbed a pad of paper and a pen.  The women gathered around
the table and began talking.

"I've always wanted to find a designer and develop our own line of
lingerie.  I think we could come up with a high-end product for our
customers," Ellen said.

"Isn't there a lot of competition in the field?" Sarah said.  "You
know who I'm thinking of, don't you?"

"Yeah, but I think that Victoria's Secret has become one step above
the department stores.  If you look at their product line, they're
making things that aren't what our customers demand.  Anyone can buy
that stuff.  They just market it better," Ellen said.

"Wouldn't it be hard to sell enough products from the shop to make
our own line profitable?" Sarah said.

"Maybe, but who says we have to limit our sales to the store?  We
could sell it on the internet or even open additional shops.  We
could start a franchise," Marge said.

"Mrs. Akins said that there's too much competition and that it isn't
a good idea," Ellen said.

"Hogwash!  If that were true, there wouldn't be as many fast food
restaurants as there are.  If we decided to franchise, we have to
make sure we only place shops in affluent areas.  We want to attract
a special clientele," Anne said.

"Another thing our customers ask for is custom fitting.  Many of our
customers' breasts aren't the same size.  I've measured women that
have a half cup size difference between their breasts," Ellen said.

"So, if we decide to design our own line, you think we should have
the product produced here instead of offshore?" Marge said.

"Yes, as I said, anyone can get the things from China or countries
like that.  If we're going to develop a line, we should have it
produced here in the United States.  If women are willing to spend
big money on imported goods, they'll pony up for high quality
domestic products," Ellen said.

The men sat at the counter listening to their wives.  Don made sure
everyone's drink was fresh and offered the group snacks.

"It sounds as if they're excited about this," Harry said.

"Yeah, excited and smart.  I think that from what I've heard,
they're going to be successful.  Listening to Ellen, I'm realizing
that woman's underwear is big business."  Marc chuckled.  "I know
that I like seeing women in sexy undies."

"For many women, it's all about fashion as well as function.  That's
why they spend what they do every year.  While Marc and I did our
research, we discovered that it's a twenty nine billion dollar
industry worldwide.  That's a lot of money," Don said.

Harry looked at Don and raised his eyebrows.  Don and Marc chuckled.

"You don't think we went into this with blinders on, did you?  Don
and I checked things our before we decided to see if the women wanted
to own the shop," Marc said.

"No, I just didn't realize that you checked it out first.  I think
it's smart," Harry said.

Glancing at Jack Waters, Don said, "How do you feel about this?  You
haven't said much."

Chuckling, Jack said, "I'm still in shock."

"You know that Sarah didn't have to do what she did, don't you? 
That was a joke," Marc said.

"Yeah, I know.  I suggested that Sarah do it to you two.  It's one
of her fantasies.  Years ago, when Sarah was in high school, she used
to be a bit loose.  She was known for her oral abilities.  After I
married her, she withdrew and became almost frigid.  As it turned
out, she was afraid that if she allowed herself to enjoy sex, she'd
revert back to her old ways." Jack said.

"She sure seems well adjusted to me," Marc said.

"Yes, Sarah has made great progress lately.  I have Ellen to thank
for that.  She helped Sarah get over her fears and begin enjoying
life.  There was a point, not too long ago, that I thought we'd
divorce.  It didn't have anything to do with our sex lives, or the
lack of a sex life.  She was hurting our kids by trying to be over
protective.

"Ellen helped Sarah realize that our kids were normal and that what
she was doing was might cause them to rebel.  Sarah started letting
Kathy dress like the other kids and stopped chastising her and Brad
for everything they did.  Then she allowed herself to have sex
without feeling guilty.  The next thing I knew, Sarah was a
completely different person," Jack said.

"How did she handle it when she discovered that Brad and Kathy were
having sex with each other?" Don said.

"Poorly at first, but she quickly realized that there wasn't
anything she could do about it.  The kids and I talked with her and
she came around.  As I said, there wasn't much we could do to stop it
if that's what Brad and Kathy wanted to do."

"It's good that you two managed to save your relationships.  Sarah
is a great person and if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have never
thought that she once had issues like the ones you described.  As you
know, we're open to almost anything and don't try to hide the fact. 
As far as the sex goes, I would never ask anyone to do anything they
didn't want to do," Don said.

"We know that, Don.  We're as open as you guys are and have enjoyed
fooling around too.  Ellen and I have enjoyed swinging with several
couples and now we're enjoying it with Jack and Sarah," Harry said.

"While Marc, Marge, Anne, and I enjoy getting together with other
people from time to time, we don't consider what we do swinging.  For
us, it's consenting adults enjoying sex.  To us, swinging is a term
that doesn't fit our lifestyle.  We've always thought of ourselves as
a unique society.  We, along with other like-minded people, enjoy one
another's company.

"We've learned that there is no room for jealousy in our lives.  We
can do things together without worrying that we'll upset our spouses
or our friends.  What we do is more about having fun than it is about
sex.  Don't get me wrong, we all love sex, but we can have just as
much fun without it as we can with it.  All of us have a little
voyeur and exhibitionist in us.  We enjoy watching each other as much
as we enjoy someone watching us.

"None of us have any hang-ups about sex either.  We've all engaged
in things that most other people might find offensive.  We don't care
what anyone outside our group thinks.  None of us tries to push our
beliefs on anyone else.  What we do is our business.

"I've always believed that we're responsible for our own happiness. 
There are people out there that would cringe if they knew what we
enjoy, but we don't care.  If someone doesn't like what we do, they
don't have to associate with us.  We have friends that don't engage
in some of the things we do, but they don't try to tell us we
shouldn't do them," Don said.

"I don't think anyone should meddle in someone's personal lives
either, Don.  Ellen, Jack, Sarah and I have many of the same
feelings.  What you said about swinging makes sense to me after
hearing you explain your feelings about the term.  While we have done
things with strangers, Ellen and I decided it was risky and don't do
it anymore," Harry said.

"What you said about the excitement of watching rings true with me. 
I love watching Sarah and Harry together."  Jack chuckled.  "I love
watching our wives too."

"You mentioned that Sarah has a fantasy.  Do you mind if I ask what
it is?" Marc said.

"Well as I told you, Sarah used to like giving head to a bunch of
guys when she was in high school.  She would like to do it again
someday," Jack said.  "She's worried about how it will affect her,
but I think she could handle it now."

"As much as I'd like to help your wife's fantasy come true, I would
never expect her to do anything that might hurt her or you," Marc said.

"Frankly, I think that she needs to do it one of these days," Jack
said.

"Why?" Harry said.

"So she'll know once and for all.  I think she thinks about it and
that it bothers her.  If it's a problem for her, we'll be able to
work it out together.  If it isn't a problem, well, at least she'll
know," Jack said.

"It wouldn't bother you if she did?" Don said.

Shaking his head, Jack said, "No, back when we were in high school,
I used to take her home and clean her up.  Sarah had absolutely no
self worth at the time.  Her parents were religious zealots and
raised her to think that sex was only for reproduction.  As I said,
she rebelled in the worst way.

"The night that Sarah went under the bleachers the first time, I was
there.  I watched the other girls taunt her and I watched her give a
bunch of boys blowjobs.  I don't know why, but I felt sorry for her. 
When they finished with her, I took her into the locker room and
cleaned her up.  I took her home that night, and many others.

"Sarah and I began dating and we finally had sex.  I knew she was
still doing things with other boys, but I didn't care.  When she
became pregnant, we were married.  Her parents disowned her and we've
been together ever since.  Over the next few years, things became a
living hell for me.  The only reason I stayed was to protect my
children.

"Then we met Harry and Ellen.  Ellen talked to Sarah and convinced
her that if she didn't change her ways, I was going to leave her. 
That day on the boat, the old Sarah died and my wife appeared.  Ever
since that day, things have gotten better for all of us."

"I didn't know Sarah before our kids began fishing together, but the
change since we met has been remarkable."  Harry put his hand on
Jack's shoulder and laughed.  "She's a great friend of Ellen's and
mine."

The women got up from the table and walked over to their husbands. 
Anne held up the pad of paper and said, "We have a bunch of ideas for
our new business."

"It's not yours yet, Sis," Don said.

Anne moved closer to her brother.  She put the pad on the counter
and then put her arms around Don's neck.  Anne kissed Don, giggled,
and began playing with his penis.  "You and my hubby will make sure
it's ours, won't you?"

Laughing, Don said, "You know that we'll do everything we can, Anne."

"We want another drink," Marge said.

"You girls can have one, but I have to drive so I'm going to stop
drinking," Harry said.

Marge smiled and said, "You guys can stay here tonight if you want
to."

Don fixed everyone a drink.  They went to the family room and sat on
the couches.  Don, Marc, Harry, and Jack listened to their wives as
the women told them some of their ideas.  They stayed up for another
hour and then decided to go to bed.  On the way upstairs, Marge held
Don's hand.  Everyone said goodnight and headed to the bedrooms.

"How did everything go when the four of you talked?" Don said to
Marge as they climbed into bed.

"Great, Baby.  All of us are excited about it.  I know it isn't
certain, but please do everything you can to make it happen."  Marge
gave Don a kiss.

"You know that Marc and I will do what we can.  As long as the books
look good and we can work out good terms, we'll get the shop.  I
wouldn't worry about it, Sweetie."

"I'm not worried, Don.  I know that you and my brother will do
everything you can.  It's just that Ellen and Sarah will be so
disappointed if the deal falls through."

Don hugged Marge.  He felt proud that his wife's concern was for her
friends and their happiness.  "I'll make it happen."

Marge giggled as she slid down Don's body.  She took his penis in
her hand and began kissing it.  Marge covered it with her mouth and
bobbed her head.  After a moment, she sat up and moved up.  Don gave
her a kiss and held her.

"It seems that our new business partners are a lot like we are.  Did
you know that Sarah and Jack fool around with Harry and Ellen?" Marge
said.

"Yeah, we talked about it tonight," Don replied.

"They want to have fun with us.  Well, at least Ellen and Sarah do. 
Sarah said that she wanted to finish giving you and Marc blowjobs
tonight.  Did Jack tell you about her past?"  Don nodded.  "You'd
never know she was like that if someone didn't tell you, would you?"

"No, and it doesn't matter."

"I know.  Would you like to have sex with Ellen and Sarah?"  Marge
fondled Don's penis, giggling as it grew in her hand.  "Hmmm, it
seems that your cock likes the idea."

"Marge, if you have something to say, just say it.  You know damn
well that I'd like to be with either Ellen or Sarah."

"Good," Marge said.  She released his penis and got out of bed. 
Marge left the room to meet the other girls in the hallway.

"Don is up for it.  How about your husbands, what did they say?"
Marge said to the three women.

"Jack's cool with it," Sarah said with a giggle.

"So is Harry," Ellen said.

Anne glanced at her friends and said, "Who wants to sleep with whom?"

Sarah giggled and headed for Don and Marge's room.  She waved over
her shoulder, giggling as she opened the door.

"I'm going to take Marc for a ride.  See you guys in a little
while," Ellen said.

Marge and Anne laughed.  "Did you see which rooms they went into?"
Marge said.  Anne shook her head.  "Well, pick one and I'll take the
other one."

Marge and Anne went to the guest rooms.  Anne opened a door, closing
it when she saw it was empty.  She went to the next room, opened the
door, and saw Jack.  Anne winked at Marge and stepped into the room. 
Marge went to the other room and got into bed with Harry.

"What's going on?" Don said as he looked up at Sarah.  He turned on
the lamp so he could see better.

Snickering, Sarah slipped into bed with Don.  She snuggled close,
putting her arm over his chest.  "We, the other women and I, decided
to have some fun tonight.  Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah, as long as this doesn't have anything to do with the
business, Sarah."

"It has nothing to do with it.  I want to have sex with you because
I'm attracted to you."  Sarah moved her hand down to Don's crotch and
began rubbing him.

"Well in that case." Don said.  He slipped his arm around Sarah,
pulling her closer.  "I was kidding about using sex to pay for the
shop you know."

"We all know that, but its fun to think in those terms.  A woman
likes to know she's desirable."

Don chuckled and moved his hand down Sarah's back to her butt. 
"You're very desirable, Sarah.  I'm honored that you want to have sex
with me."

"There you go, always so humble," Sarah said as she wiggled against
Don.

"Honest maybe, but I don't know about humble."

"Don, you, Marge, Anne, and Marc are the humblest people I've ever
met.  You do things that most of us only dream of doing.  You guys
didn't have to do what you did for the kids, but you did and never
made any of us feel as if we weren't involved.  You didn't have to
buy the shop either.  Ellen is one of my best friends.  She was so
upset about having to leave the shop.  It isn't the money, she loves
her job."


"Well if everything goes the way we plan, you girls will be selling
sexy undies for a long time."

"Yeah, and wearing them for the men in our lives.  Now if we're done
talking for a few minutes, I have plans for this thing," Sarah said. 
She chuckled and waggled Don's penis.

"What do you plan to do with my cock?"

"First, I'm going to see if I can deep throat you.  Your cock is the
biggest one I've ever played with.  Then I hope you'll fuck me."

"That works for me," Don said.  He rolled onto his back, pulled
Sarah over him, and gave her a kiss.

Sarah returned Don's kiss, pushing her tongue into his mouth.  He
held the back of her head with one hand and stroked her bottom with
the other.  She moved lower, kissing Don's chest.  He pulled her back
up, rolled Sarah on her back, and gave her a kiss.  Massaging one of
her breasts, Don smiled at her.

"I'd be happy just snuggling and touching you," Don said.

"Does that mean you don't want me to blow you or fuck you?" Sarah
said.

"No, I'd love to do both.  I'm saying that you don't have to if you
don't want to."

Sarah chuckled and said, "You sound as if you're trying to talk me
out of this.  Don, I knew what I wanted when I came in here."

Don gave Sarah a kiss.  He ran his hands up and down her back and
then moved them to her shoulders.  Sarah giggled as Don pushed her
down.  She kissed his chest and stomach before wrapping her hand
around his penis.  Slowly stroking him, she ran her tongue around his
glans.

Rising up on his arms, Don watched Sarah lave his penis.  She
glanced up, smiled, and covered his growing member with her mouth. 
Kneeling between his legs, she lowered her mouth.  Sarah took most of
Don's penis into her mouth, moaning as it filled with blood and
expanded.  She swallowed several times while taking his member into
her throat.

Sarah bobbed her head slowly and fondled Don's testicles.  He
smiled, watching her take his entire cock into her mouth and throat.

"That feels good, Sarah."

Sarah removed her mouth, looked up at Don, and smiled.  "It feels
good to me too.  Do you want me to finish blowing you or would you
rather fuck?"

"Choices, choices, choices.  Let's mix it up and see what happens,"
Don said.

Nodding, Sarah returned her mouth to his penis.  She sucked and
bobbed her head for a few minutes and then moved up Don's body.  He
held his penis as Sarah lowered herself, impaling her vagina with his
penis.  Wiggling her hips, Sarah worked his member deep inside.  She
put her hands on Don's chest, looked into his eyes, and began moving.

"God you're big," Sarah said.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it, but I'm not that much bigger than the
rest of the men," Don said.

"That may be true, but you sure fill my pussy."

Don smiled.  "Remember, it's just sex.  We're doing this for fun and
because it feels good."

Sarah lifted her body until only an inch or so of Don's penis
remained in her vagina.  She lowered herself quickly and then
repeated the motion.  Picking up speed, Sarah bounced up and down on
Don.  He held her hips and began driving up into her.

Sarah began panting.  Don flipped her onto her back, knelt between
her legs, and started moving.  He pressed her legs toward her head as
he pounded in and out of her.

"Oh yeah, that's how I want it!" Sarah said.  She gripped Don's
arms, moaning as his body smacked against hers.

Don removed his penis from Sarah, scooted up, and straddled her
body.  He gripped his penis, offering it to her mouth.  She lifted
her head and sucked on as much of his member as she could fit into
her mouth.

For the next half hour, Don moved his penis from Sarah's mouth to
her vagina.  He put her on her hands and knees, screwing her from
behind.  She came several times before Don reached his peek and shot
his semen into her vagina.

"That was fun," Don said as he snuggled next to Sarah.

"That was amazing!  Jack is great at making love, but no one ever
fucked me like that."  Sarah rolled onto her side and stroked Don's
cheek.  "Don, I know this was nothing more that two friends enjoying
a great fuck.  Please don't think I'm comparing you to my husband,
because I'm not.  As good as this was, it wasn't something that would
ever come between my hubby and me."

"I know, Sarah.  You don't have to explain.  Look, we, Marc, Anne,
Marge, and I all enjoy having sex with other people.  We also know
that's all it is."

Don and Sarah hugged each other and relaxed.

The rest of the couples engaged in a great round of recreational sex
before falling asleep.

****

Jack woke Sally when the alarm went off.  He rolled her onto her
back, gave her a kiss, and said, "We have to get up, Sweetie.  Nate
will be here in a few minutes."

"Okay, I'm awake."  Sally giggled and reached between Jack's legs. 
"I'm awake and horny.  Do we have time?"

"No, but I'll take care of you later."  Jack gave Sally a kiss. 
"Still love me?"

"Jack, I love you so much I can barely stand it."

Jack and Sally got out of bed.  They went into the passageway and
began waking the others.

"Hey you two, it's time to get up," Sally said as she shook Kim's
shoulder.

Kim groaned and rolled onto her back.  She looked up at Sally and
said, "We'll be up in a minute."

Sally left the stateroom.  Kim wiggled against Trent and gave him a
kiss.  "Wake up, Baby.  It's time to go fishing."

Trent stretched his arms out, wrapped them around Kim, and pulled
her to him.  Hugging her, he kissed her tenderly.

"Kim, you don't think I'm sick because of what my friend and I did,
do you?" Trent said as he held his head next to hers.

"What are you talking about?"

"Last night when I told you that my friend and I gave each other
blow jobs."

Kim pulled back, giggled, and shook her head.  "I already told you
that it doesn't bother me, Baby."  She giggled again and fondled his
penis.  "It wouldn't bother me if you did it again either.  Have you
ever thought about it?"

"I don't know, I guess so.  It doesn't get me all worked up, but I
have thought about what happened."

"Was your friend as good as me?"

Trent laughed.  "Kim, I don't think anyone could be as good as you
are."

"At what?" Kim said, wanting Trent to tell her.

"You know, blowing me."

Kim giggled.  "So, I guess you like it when I suck your cock."

"Stop teasing me.  You know I love it!"

Kim pushed Trent on his back.  She leaned over, took his morning
erection into her mouth, and gently sucked him as she moved her head
up and down.  She pulled her mouth off his penis, sat up, and said,
"Good, because I love sucking cock."

"Mine or anyone's cock?" Trent said.

"Right now, I like yours the best."  Kim saw the look on Trent's
face.  She hugged him and gave him a kiss.  "I'd be lying if I told
you I wouldn't ever fool around with anyone else.  I'm not planning
anything, but if it happens, I'm not going to feel guilty.  If you
fool around with someone else, I won't be mad at you.  I would like
it if we could talk first though."

Kim and Trent got out of bed.  They went to the head, waiting for
Tom to finish before going in.  After taking turns using the toilet,
they brushed their teeth and then went to dress.  Trent thought about
what Kim said, remembering that she'd told him the same thing before.
He wondered if she was setting the stage for having sex with someone
else.

"Kim, you told me before that you didn't want a committed
relationship.  Are you planning on having sex with someone else?"
Trent said while watching her put on her bra.

"No, I'm not planning anything, Baby."  Kim fastened her bra,
twisted it around her body, and pulled the cups over her breasts. 
She wrapped her arms around Trent, pressing her body against his.  "I
wouldn't plan anything like that without talking to you first, Trent.
If it does happen, it will probably be spontaneous and you'll be
there too.  It usually happens that way.  Please don't worry about
it, Baby.  It doesn't mean that I don't like you."

"I don't know if I'll ever know what to expect with you, Sweetie. 
You are so open and care free."

"That's good, isn't it?  I mean, you'll never get tired of me that
way," Kim said.  She looked up and gave Trent a kiss.

"I guess, but I'm not sure that I'll ever get used to you or the
rest of the group."

"Oh I don't know.  I think that once you accept that we're all very
good friends and that we're not all hung up on jealousy, you'll be
fine.  Now that's enough of that.  Let's go get some breakfast."

Trent chuckled and put his hand on Kim's crotch.  "I know what I
want for breakfast."

Kim giggled.  "Mmmm, that sounds good to me too.  Maybe we can take
a nap later."

Kim and Trent left the stateroom.  On the way up to the galley,
Jenny and Brad came out of their room.  The four of them went up and
into the galley.  Jenny began making coffee while Kim poured orange
juice.  The others came up, joining Kim, Jenny, Trent, and Brad.

"Trent and I will go up and start the engines," Brad said.  "Someone
should go out and wait for Nate."

"Kim and I will go," Jenny said.

"Tom and I will take care of the water and electrical," Jack said.

All of the teens worked together to get ready.  Molly and Kathy
started breakfast, deciding it would be easiest to make French toast
and bacon.

On the bridge, Brad told Trent to fire up the engines.  Trent used
the printed checklist to make sure he didn't miss anything.

"That was good, Trent.  You didn't miss anything," Brad said.  "So,
are you having a good time as part of the team?"

"I'm having a blast, Brad.  It's taking me a little time to get used
to everything, but I'm sure I will," Trent replied.

"Yeah, there's a lot to learn about fishing and the boat, isn't
there?"

Chuckling, Trent said, "Yeah, that too."

"What does that mean?"

"I don't know.  It's just that you guys are so different from anyone
I've ever known.  Sometimes I don't know how to take the things that
go on."

Brad nodded.  "I know what you mean.  Kathy, Jenny, Eddie, and I
have been friends for a while and we had fun fishing.  Molly joined
our group and fit right in.  Did you know that she used to date Eddie
and Kathy?

"Then we met Tom, Jack, Sally, and Kim.  We took them fishing one
time and we all became friends.  It was so weird when we found out
that they're so much like the rest of us.  Now we're all friends. 
You're our friend too, Trent."

"Thanks, I feel that way.  You guys have all accepted me and I
appreciate that.  When I first moved down here, I was afraid that I
wouldn't meet anyone.  I heard part of the story about Molly."

"She dumped her old boyfriend because he was an asshole.  Molly
started hanging around with us and then she started dating Kathy and
Eddie.  Then, Tom came down and took her to the junior prom.  After
that, Molly and Tom started going with each other."

"Kim told me that she and Tom used to be together," Trent said.

Nodding, Brad said, "Yeah, but she's the one that set up Tom and
Molly.  Weird, isn't it?"

Trent chuckled.  "I'm glad Kim set them up."

"I'm sure you are.  You and Kim seem to be hitting it off," Brad
said.  He told Trent to reduce the RPMs of the engines.

"We're getting along, but she keeps telling me that I shouldn't get
upset if she fools around with someone else.  I get the feeling that
she wants to."

"You shouldn't get upset, Trent.  I don't know if Kim's planning
anything or not, but if it happens, it doesn't mean she doesn't like
you.  Look, I'm sure you know that all of us are pretty carefree when
it comes to sex.  Sometimes we get to messing around and end up in
bed with someone other than our girlfriends.  It doesn't happen all
the time, but it does happen.

"I think that Kim wants you to know that if it does, it isn't
because of anything you've done," Brad chuckled, "or haven't done. 
Just go with the flow and you'll be fine.  If you don't want to mess
around with any of the other girls, then don't.  No one cares either
way."

Trent nodded.  He and Brad went down to the galley to have
breakfast.  Brad greeted Nate and introduced Trent.

"So, Nate, what's the plan for today?" Jenny said.

"We're going out to make bait and then we'll head out to the Gulf
Stream and try to locate the fish.  Do you have underwater lights?"
Nate said.

"Yes, we have underwater lights," Eddie said.

"What do we need underwater lights for?" Trent said.

"When we start making bait, the lights draw in the plankton and tiny
fish.  The bigger fish will come in to eat," Nate said.  "Let me have
another muffin.  They're great."

The group finished eating.  Nate and the other boys went to the
bridge and pulled away from the seawall.  The girls cleaned the
galley and then sat at the dinette to wait until they reached their
destination.

On the bridge, Nate looked over the array of electronics.  Shaking
his head, he said, "How the hell do you keep track of all these
screens?"

"It's easy, Nate."  Eddie went on, explaining each of the displays.

"This is one hell of a boat.  You kids are very lucky to have her,"
Nate said.

"We know we are.  We appreciate everything our parents do for us,"
Jack said.

"We're getting close to the coordinates you gave us, Nate.  Want to
take her the rest of the way?" Brad said.

Nate nodded and took the helm.  He watched the chart plotter,
navigating to the location he wanted to fish for bait.  Once he
arrived, Tom showed him how to set the anchor and turn on the
underwater lights.

"Let's go have a cup of coffee and wait for the baitfish to gather. 
It'll be a bit before we start fishing," Nate said.

The guys went down to the galley to get coffee.  They stood against
the counter, listening to Nate tell them about tuna fishing.

"You kids have to be ready for almost anything when you're tuna
fishing.  You never know when a big one is going to strike.  I've
been out catching fifteen to twenty pound yellow fins and had a five
hundred pound blue fit take one of the baits.

"Tuna are fast and strong.  If you latch onto a big one, be ready to
get into the chair.  You can horse the small ones, but the big fish
will test you.  Make sure to switch off if you get into them or
you'll wear yourselves out," Nate said.

"Do you think we can handle them?" Molly said as she waved her hand
toward the other girls.

"Sure, as long as you're smart.  As I said, use the chair so you'll
have the advantage.  The chair lets you use your legs and back to
fight the fish, not just your arms."

"Are tuna hard to locate?" Trent asked.

"No harder than any other fish.  You look for birds and jumping
baitfish just like you do when you fish for anything else.  Tuna
school, so when you find them, stay in the area.  Keep bait in the
water and don't clear the lines unless you have to.  It isn't
uncommon to hook up with two or three at the same time.

"If you don't have one, get an extra gaff or two.  If you lose your
gaff, you'll be out of luck.  That and you may have to land more than
one at the same time or use two gaffs if it's a big one," Nate said. 
"It wouldn't hurt to have a harpoon for a very large fish."

Nate went on, explaining how the harpoon helped land a large fish.

"Is the tournament catch and release?" Molly said.

"No, we take the fish in and weigh them.  We can keep what we want
to and let the organizers take what we don't want.  They donate the
fish to a food bank," Jenny said.

"That's nice of them.  If the fish are in, they should have plenty,"
Nate said.  "Well, I think we should go see if we can catch some bait."

The teens followed Nate to the cockpit.  Jack and Eddie got out the
rods and reels Jack brought from his boat.  Nate looked them over,
saying they would be fine.  He opened his duffle bag and removed a
plastic box.

"Tie these jigs on.  We lower them into the water and move them up
and down," Nate said.

Tom turned on the water and circulation pump for the live bait well.
Kim showed Trent how to tie a jig to the line and they began fishing.
A few moments later, Molly screeched and said that she caught one. 
For the next hour, the group caught one and two pound baitfish.

Nate told the teens they had all they needed.  They cut the jigs off
the lines, put them back in Nate's box, and stowed the rods.  Jenny
and Sally went up to the bridge to get underway while the boys
started rigging the rods they'd use for tuna fishing.  Kim, Kathy,
and Molly went to the galley to make a fresh pot of coffee.

"Here's your new coordinates," Nate said.

Sally took the slip of paper and entered the information into the
plotter.  Jenny set the autopilot and sat back.  Eddie came up with a
carafe of fresh coffee and mugs.  He placed them on the table and
went to the helm.

"I read an article about turning up the sensitivity on the radar so
you can see birds.  I want to try it today," Eddie said as he
adjusted the unit.

"I read that article too.  It sounds interesting, but my old radar
isn't sensitive enough," Nate said.  "One of these days I'm going to
replace it."

Eddie and Nate stood in front of the radar screen.  Eddie adjusted
the unit, watching the changes on the display.  Jack and Tom watched
as their friend made the adjustments.

"We're entering the Gulf Stream.  You have to be alert because it
can get very rough.  The stream runs north and if you have a north
wind, this water gets angry.  Make sure to quarter into the waves,"
Nate said.

The wind came out of the south, making crossing the Gulf Stream
easy.  Sally stood at the helm, following the chart plotter.  She
reset the autopilot once she felt comfortable.

"We should go down and rig a few baits.  We'll be there in a bit,"
Nate said.

Sally and Kathy remained on the bridge while the rest of the team
went down to the cockpit.  They watched Nate rig a large baitfish and
place it in one of the tuna tubes.  Trent asked about the tuna tubes
and Nate started explaining them to him.

"The tubes have water circulating through them, Trent.  It keeps the
bait alive.  Using the tubes, you can set up many baits so they'll be
ready for you," Nate said.  "Okay, you kids do the next baits.  The
more you practice, the faster you'll get."

Eddie and Trent worked as a team.  They rigged one of the baitfish
and then Kim and Molly took a turn.  The team worked together,
rigging the baits.  They filled the available tubes and relaxed. 
Nate told the teens that they did well and that before long, they'd
be able to rig a bait quickly.

Moving to the lower station, Eddie opened the hatch.  He turned on
the radar and watched the screen.  Jenny stood next to her brother,
watching him fine tune the unit.

"Hey, we're almost through the Gulf Stream," Kathy said over the
intercom.

"Okay, we'll start watching for birds on the radar," Eddie replied.

"Two of us should go up on the tower," Kim said.  "Trent, why don't
you and Molly go up?"

Trent shrugged his shoulders.  He and Molly went up to the tower and
began scanning the horizon.  Molly removed the binoculars from the
storage locker and put them to her eyes.  She looked for a few
moments and gave them to Trent.

"I don't know what I'm looking for," Trent said.

"We look for birds diving into the water and for baitfish jumping. 
The birds dive to eat and the baitfish jump to try to get away from
larger predator fish that are trying to feed on them from below. 
When you see them, it will make you laugh."

Trent went back to using the binoculars to search for birds and
baitfish.  He leaned against the rail, feeling the sway of the tower.

"So, do you like hanging around with us?" Molly said.

"Yeah, I'm having a blast!"  Trent lowered the binoculars and turned
to Molly.  "Do you ever feel like an outsider?"

"No, never.  Why?  Do you feel that way, Trent?"

"I don't know.  It's taking me time to get used to everything I
guess.  Everyone is so different from the kids I knew back home." 
Trent chuckled.  "You guys do things we used to talk about, but knew
we'd never do."

"What do you mean?"

"It's like going on the tournament.  My friends and I used to talk
about going camping and things, but we could never go.  None of us
could afford it.  I guess I could have, but I spent all of my spare
money on my car."

Molly nodded.  "I used to feel that I wasn't really part of the
group, but that didn't last long.  When I started hanging around with
Jenny, Eddie, Kathy, and Brad, I was getting over a bad relationship
with my ex boyfriend.  They took me in and made me feel that I was
special.  It's hard to explain."

"Wasn't it weird dating Kathy and Eddie at the same time?"

Giggling, Molly shook her head.  "We were a threesome, not two
couples. The three of us did things together more than as couples, if
you know what I mean."

Laughing, Trent said, "Yeah, and that's one of the things I'm having
trouble understanding.  I always thought that when a boy and girl
went together, they didn't do anything with anyone else.  You guys
don't feel that way, do you?"

"Since I started hanging around with everyone, I've learned that I
can have fun and still be in love.  I love Tom more than anything and
I'll do whatever he wants me to do.  I also love fooling around with
the others.  In many ways, I love all of you guys.  Trent, it isn't
about sex.  Our friendships are about fun and learning.  We learn
about fishing, boating, and about trust.

"My ex boyfriend didn't trust me and that caused him to smother me. 
I couldn't do anything I wanted to do.  If I did, he would get mad at
me.  While I dated him, I thought it was okay, but once I met this
group, I found out that it wasn't.  No matter what, we're our own
person and should be able to do things without fearing reprisal,"
Molly said.

"I don't completely understand, Molly.  You say that you love Tom
and that you'll do whatever he wants you to do.  Then you say that
you're your own person and do what you want," Trent said.

"Giving myself to Tom is what I want."  Trent furrowed his brow and
Molly giggled.  She took the binoculars from Trent and started
looking for birds and baitfish.  Without removing the binoculars from
her eyes, Molly said, "A lot of people don't understand the
relationship Tom and I share.  I chose to give myself to him and he
accepted me.  Now, I do what he tells me to do."

Trent nodded, but was having trouble understanding.  He watched
Molly, and thought about what she said.  Molly lowered the binoculars
and pointed.

"There are birds out there," Molly said.  She used the intercom to
inform her friends in the cockpit.

Eddie stared at the radar screen.  He adjusted the sensitivity until
the birds appeared on the display.

"Look at this, I can see the birds on the radar," Eddie said as he
pointed at the screen.  "This is so cool!"

"I'll be damned.  I thought that seeing something as small as birds
on the radar was impossible, but I can see I was wrong," Nate said.

Everyone took turns looking at the screen.  Eddie showed them the
tiny blips on the display each time the array made a sweep.  Using
the intercom, Eddie told Kathy and Sally about the birds.  Sally
replied, telling Eddie that she and Kathy could see them on the screen.

Sally turned toward the birds.  She and Kathy watched the horizon
for the birds.

"Molly, take over from the tower so Kathy and I can go down to the
cockpit," Sally said over the intercom.

Molly told Trent to take the wheel.  He steered toward the birds as
Molly told him to and adjusted his speed.  Turning around, Molly
gazed down to the cockpit and watched the others getting ready.

"Slow down to about five knots," Eddie said into the intercom,
relaying what Nate told him.

Trent backed off on the throttles.  He watched the speed, adjusting
the engines until he reached the right speed.  Molly watched Jack,
Jenny, Brad, and Nate start setting the lines.

"This is so exciting!  I don't think I'll ever get tired of
fishing," Molly said.

"I don't think I will either.  This is way better than hanging
around with my old friends," Trent said.  "Actually, I didn't have
any real friends, not after I turned into an asshole.  I pissed off
my best friend Angelo and he quit hanging around with me."

"We all make mistakes, Trent.  The great thing is that we don't have
to repeat them if we learn from them."

"Brad said I should call Angelo, but I haven't done it yet."

"Why not?"

"I don't know.  I guess I'm afraid."

"What's the worse thing that can happen, Trent?  If your friend
doesn't want to talk to you, you're in the same place you are now. 
Maybe he will forgive you and you can be friends again."

Trent nodded.  He'd thought about making the call several times, but
could never gather the courage.

"You said you'd do whatever Tom told you to do."  Molly grinned and
nodded.  She traced her gold collar with her fingertips.  "Does that
mean anything?"

"Yup, it sure does, Trent."

"What if he told you to jump off a bridge?"  Trent smiled when he
said it.

"Tom would never tell me to something that would hurt me.  That's
why I trust him to be my…"  Molly was about to say master, but she
stopped short.  She wasn't sure how Trent would interpret it.  "As I
said, I trust him and will do what he tells me to do."

"What if there's something you want to do?"

"I ask Tom and he tells me if it's okay or not."

"That sounds so weird."

"Not to me, Trent.  It's what I want and I feel very lucky to have a
guy like Tom to do it for me.  I know it's not for everyone, but it's
great for me.  One of the things I've learned by hanging around with
this team is that you can be whatever you want to be.  No one will
chastise you as long as you don't do anything to hurt someone else."

Trent chuckled and said, "I'm learning that nothing about you guys
is what I always thought was normal.  I have a girlfriend that keeps
telling me that she doesn't care if I have sex with someone else. 
Everyone says exactly what's on their minds and no one worries about
pissing anyone off.  None of you care about someone seeing you naked
or in your underwear."

Molly started giggling.  "Yeah, it's great, isn't it?  I mean I
think it's wonderful that we can be ourselves."

"We sure can be what we're becoming, can't we?" Trent said.

"Yes we can.  We have a great group and a great team.  We get to
fish, boat, and have a blast without using drugs or alcohol.  I get
higher doing these things than I ever did when I drank."  Molly
giggled.  "Sex is way better sober than it is when you're drunk."

"I'll have to take your word for it.  I never had sex before I met
Kim."

Trent and Molly stopped talking when they heard Eddie yell, "Fish on!"

They peered down, watching Jack grab one of the rods.  Trent kept
turning to watch where they were going as he watched Jack fight the
fish.

"That looks like a nice fish," Nate said.  "Don't try to horse it or
you'll break it off."

"It doesn't feel too big," Jack said.

"That's okay.  You should get into the chair so you become
comfortable doing it while fighting a fish," Nate said.

Jack moved to the chair.  Nate told Jenny and Kim to clip the straps
to the reel while Jack kept cranking on the reel.  He sat in the
fighting chair and kept pressure on the fish.  Kim and Jenny attached
the straps and stood back.  Jack used his legs and back to pull on
the fish, reeling down as he leaned forward.  A few minutes later,
Brad gaffed the yellow fin tuna and pulled it through the transom
door into the cockpit.

"That looks like about a thirty pound fish," Nate said.  He used
pliers to remove the hook and pushed the fish into the box.  "Don't
stand around looking.  Get the line back into the water.  You should
always have a rod or two ready to replace the one you're fighting a
fish with."

Sally and Jack took a turn in the tuna tower so Trent and Molly
could go down to the cockpit.  Kim gave Trent a hug when he moved
close to her.

"You weren't trying to seduce my boyfriend were you, Molly?" Kim
said with a giggle.

"What if I was?" Molly replied.

Kim giggled again and shrugged her shoulders.  She gave Trent a kiss
and whispered in his ear.  "Did you miss me?"  Trent grinned and
nodded.  "I missed you too."

"I'm going in for coffee," Trent said.  "Does anyone else want some?"

Nate and Tom said they'd like a cup of coffee.  Kim followed Trent
into the cabin, taking him in her arms when they reached the galley.

"Are you having fun?" Kim said as she pressed her body against Trent.

"Yeah, I'm having a great time.  It was fun talking with Molly and
getting to know her better."

Kim giggled and gave Trent a tender kiss.  "Just how well did you
get to know her?"

"We just talked, Kim."

"Don't get upset, Sweetie.  I'm just teasing you."

"Would it have upset you if I did more?" Trent said.

"Not as long as it didn't change the way you feel about me.  I've
already told you that I'm not the jealous type, Baby.  I don't mind
if you have a little fun."

"Before you said you didn't care."

Kim giggled and said, "I do care, Trent.  I care about you and I
care about us."

"Has something changed?  I thought you said you weren't looking for
a committed relationship."

"Things change, Baby.  I wasn't looking for a committed
relationship, but it seems I found one."  Kim looked up into Trent's
eyes.  She smiled, kissed him, and whispered.  "Trent, I've fallen in
love with you."

Trent hugged Kim as tightly as he could.  He kissed her tenderly and
then pulled his head back.  "I love you too."  He kissed her again. 
"I love the sex too.  You said I loved what we did together and
you're right.  I also love you for other reasons.  You're fun to be
with, easy to talk to, and so many other things."

"The deeper I fall in love with you, the better the sex gets," Kim
said with a giggle.  She moved one hand to Trent's crotch and rubbed
him.

"What now?"

"What do you mean?"

Trent smiled at Kim as he composed his reply.  Grinning, he said,
"Are you going to get pissed off at me if I have sex with one of the
other girls?"

Kim laughed as she shook her head.  "No, Baby, I won't get pissed at
you if you want to fool around with someone else."

Trent and Kim shared another kiss.  They giggled as they poured
coffee into the cups and took them out to the cockpit.  Kathy came
over to Kim and stood next to her.

"What's with the grin?  Did you and Trent get busy?" Kathy said.

Shaking her head, Kim said, "No, I just told him I love him."

"When did that happen?"

Kim shrugged her shoulders.  "Does it matter?"

"No, is doesn't matter.  What happened to the girl that didn't want
a relationship?"

"She found a boy that loves her and that she loves.  Trent
understands how we all feel about fooling around with each other and
I don't think it'll be a problem if we ever do it."

"Cool, I can't wait to get him alone," Kathy said.  She giggled and
bumped against Kim.

"Just take it easy on him.  He's still learning," Kim replied with a
giggle.

"What's so funny?" Trent said as he moved next to Kim.

"Kathy was telling me she can't wait to get you alone.  I was
telling her to take it easy on you, Baby," Kim said.

Kim, Kathy, and Trent laughed.  Tom shouted, "Fish on," and the
cockpit became busy.  Molly took the rod, moving to the fighting
chair.  Eddie and Tom clipped the straps to the reel so she could
fight the fish.

Trent saw another rod go off.  He sprang to the transom, grabbed the
rod, and began reeling.  Kim took a harness from the bait station
and, with Kathy's help, got it attached to Trent.  He put the rod
butt into the holder and pulled back on the rod so the girls could
fasten the clips to the reel.

Molly's fish made a few long runs.  Trent kept winding the reel,
working the fish to the starboard side of the cockpit.  Jenny gaffed
his fish and pulled it over the gunwale.  Nate removed the hook and
pushed the twenty-pound fish into the hold.

"Good job, kids.  You did everything right," Nate said.  He moved
closer to Molly so he could coach her.  "Pull back using your legs
and back, Molly.  When you lean forward, crank on the reel."

Kim gave Nate his coffee, apologizing for not doing it sooner.  He
chuckled, took a sip, and told her it was still hot.

"I'm getting tired," Molly said.

"You can rest, but you have to keep the line tight," Nate said. 
"Would you like a drink?"

"Yes please.  I'd like some water," Molly replied.

Tom grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator, removed the
cap, and handed it to Molly.  She held the rod with one hand while
using the other to drink some of the refreshing water.  She gave the
bottle back to Tom and resumed the battle.

It took another half hour for Molly to fight her fish to the boat. 
Nate grabbed the leader, carefully winding it around his gloved hand.

"You have to watch how you grab the leader.  If the fish surges, you
have to be able to let go so it doesn't pull you overboard or hurt
your hand."  Nate showed the group how he wound the leader so he
could release it by straightening his fingers.  "Get ready with the
gaff."

Brad stood at the transom next to Nate.  When Nate told him to, he
gaffed the fish.  Nate used the leader and Brad used the gaff to pull
the fish to the transom door.  They hauled the fish into the cockpit,
stopping to catch their breath.

"That fish will go close to two hundred pounds," Nate said.  "If you
kids boat a few like that, you should do well in the tournament."

Molly got out of the fighting chair so she could get a better look
at the fish.  Stooping down, she stared at the fish.

"You did great, Molly.  I was concerned that it may be too much for
you, but you proved me wrong.  You kids listen better than most of my
clients do, that's for sure," Nate said.

Eddie laughed and said, "That's because you used to tell Jenny and I
to shut up and listen when we worked on your boat, Nate."

"Yeah, and it's served us well," Jenny said.

"If you two, if any of you, ever need a job, come see me.  I'd love
to have any one of you mate for me."  Nate glanced at the teens and
smiled.  "It's a pleasure to fish with a group that doesn't think
they know it all.  I know that I still learn every time I go out."

"Let's get back to fishing," Eddie said.

Nate and Brad shoved the tuna into the hold while Trent held the
hatch open for them.  Kim and Kathy set two rods and then baited the
rods Molly and Trent used to catch their fish.

"Hey Tom, let's go up and relieve Jack and Sally," Kathy said.

Tom and Kathy traded places with Jack and Sally.  Tom made a wide
turn to take the boat back over the area they caught the fish.  Over
the next two hours, the team caught three more fish.  None of the
fish was as large as the one Molly caught.

"How long do you kids want to fish?" Nate said.  "I think you have a
good idea of how to fish for tuna."

"We can go back anytime or we can keep fishing if anyone wants to,"
Jack said.

"Let's give it another hour and then we'll head home," Jenny said.

All of a sudden, three of the rods went off.  Jack, Kim, and Brad
scrambled, each of them grabbing one of the rods.

"Try to figure out which one of you has the largest fish.  That
person should take the chair," Nate said.  He looked at the rod tips,
watching the action of each one.  "I think the fish are about the
same size.  Kim, why don't you take the chair?"

"I'm good with a harness.  Let one of the boys sit on their butts,"
Kim said with a giggle.

"Go for it, Brad.  There's no use in trying to argue with my bull
headed sister," Jack said.

Trent helped Kim into a harness and Molly helped Jack.  Brad moved
to the chair, taking a seat.  Once everyone was strapped to their
rod, the fun began.  Nate shouted out orders, telling the kids when
to move and what to do.  Kim ducked under Brad's line and then Jack
took his line over her head.  They danced around the cockpit, doing
everything they could to avoid crossing one another's lines.

Brad brought his fish close to the stern.  Nate gaffed it, pulling
the fish into the cockpit and down into the hold.  Sally rinsed the
deck so it wasn't too slippery.  A few minutes later, Kim brought her
fish to the port side.  Trent grabbed the gaff and hooked the fish. 
He hauled it over the gunwale and onto the deck.  Nate removed the
hook so they could stow the fish.

Jack continued fighting his fish.  He pulled back on the rod and
stumbled when the line broke.  Trent managed to catch Jack before he
fell.

"Damn it!" Jack said as he shook his head.

"Don't worry about it, Jack, it happens.  That's the first fish we
broke off today," Nate said.

"What did I do wrong?" Jack said.

"Nothing at all.  Sometimes it happens.  It may have been a weak
spot in the line, but the line chaffing against the fish's head
probably caused it.  When the fish turn and run, the line can go
against them," Nate said.

Nate opened the hatch of the fish hold.  He pulled out one of the
smaller tuna and showed the team members how sharp the gill plate
was.  Each of them touched the fish, nodding when they felt the sharp
edge.

Tom and Kathy came down from the tuna tower so they could see what
Nate was telling the others.  Eddie went to the lower station, turned
on the camera, and watched what was ahead of them.  Kathy and Tom
listened to Nate repeat what he told the others.

"I think we should head in.  We have fish to clean and the boat to
wash," Jack said.

Everyone agreed that it was time to head back.  Kim and Trent went
to the bridge while the rest of the team began taking care of the
rods.  Standing at the wheel, Kim giggled when Trent wrapped his arms
around her and played with her breasts.  He slipped his hands under
her top and massaged her firm mounds.

"Mmmm, that feels good.  I thought you didn't like my boobs
anymore," Kim said with a giggle.

"I love your boobs.  I love you too," Trent said as he nuzzled the
back of her head and kissed Kim.

"I love you too, Baby.  Be a sweetie and unhook my bra," Kim said
with a giggle.

"Hey, what are you two doing?" Kathy said as she came into the
enclosed bridge.

"Trent's feeling me up.  Wait your turn," Kim said.

"You're so stingy!" Kathy said.

Kim and Kathy laughed.  Trent removed his hands and moved next to
Kim.  A few moments later, the rest of the group came up to the bridge.

"Where's Nate?" Kathy said.

"He's in the salon taking a nap," Jenny said.  "I think we did great
today.  We can practice again when we get to North Carolina."

"I think we should leave a couple days earlier than we planned to. 
That way we can get more practice and try to find the fish," Kathy
said.

"I don't think that would be a problem.  Our parents should let us
go if we ask them," Jack said.  "I agree with Jenny.  We should get
there early so we can practice and make bait."

"I hope we can change our slip reservation," Eddie said.

"That shouldn't be a problem," Tom said.  "It isn't like we're
trying to make the reservation, we're just adding a couple days."

The group talked about the trip.  Kim let Trent take the wheel so
she and the other girls could start making a menu and a shopping list
of the additional food they'd need.  They sat at the table on the
sundeck while the boys stood at the helm.  Kim listed the days they'd
be gone and the girls started making suggestions.

An hour later, Nate came up.  He glanced at the chart plotter and
said, "Looks like we'll be back in an hour or so."

"Yeah, do you want something to eat?  I'm hungry," Eddie said.

"I could stand to eat," Nate replied.

Jack, Eddie, and Tom went below to prepare sandwiches.  They stacked
the food on trays, taking it back to the helm.  Everyone grabbed
something and sat down to eat.  Nate told them a few tips about
rigging and fishing for tuna.

Trent told Brad to take over when he was close to the house.  Brad
shook his head, telling Trent it was time for him to learn. 
Listening to Brad, Trent pulled the boat against the seawall.  Eddie
and Jack tended the lines, securing the boat to the pilings.

Everyone got off the boat and walked around.  They saw the adults
coming toward them and waved.  Yoshi came over from the yacht to see
if they caught anything.  When Brad opened the fish hold, Yoshi
became excited.

"We're having a feast tonight.  I'll make sushi and tuna steaks on
the grill.  Help me get these fish to the cleaning table and I'll
take care of them," Yoshi said.

Trent saw his mom and Andy walking toward him.  He grinned when he
noticed that they held hands.

"Hi, Mom, hi, Andy.  Come see our fish," Trent said.

Andy and Jodie stepped onto the boat and looked at the fish.  She
turned to her son and said, "Those things are huge!"

"I know.  Molly caught the biggest one," Trent said.

Andy asked the team how the rods and reels worked.  He nodded as
they told him they worked great and that they didn't have any
troubles.  Eddie made a comment about the rollers on the rods,
telling Andy that they didn't hang up and that the line never jumped
one of the rollers.

Yoshi, Brad, Eddie, Jack, and Tom pulled the fish out of the hold. 
They lined them up on the grass so Tom could take a few pictures
before Yoshi cleaned them.

"What are we going to do with all of the meat?" Marge said.

"I will freeze some and can some.  If you want to give any to your
friends, let me know so I can package it properly," Yoshi said.

"I think that everyone should take some home," Anne said.

"I know I have room in my freezer," Ellen said.

Sarah, Jodie, and Laura agreed, telling Yoshi that they would take
some of the fish too.

Yoshi and the boys took the fish to the cleaning table.  Yoshi
sharpened his knives against a steel, smiling as he gazed at the
large tuna on the table.  The men stood close, watching Yoshi as he
started cleaning the fish.

Trent asked if he could try cleaning one of the smaller fish.  Yoshi
gave him a knife and showed him what to do.  Taking his time, Trent
cut one of the smaller fish into steaks.  The other boys started
washing and packaging the meat.

"How much of this do you want, Nate?" Jack said.

"I'll take a few steaks and a few jars of canned meat.  I like the
canned tuna as much as I like the steaks," Nate said.

"I need jars to can the meat," Yoshi said.  "Someone needs to go to
the store."

"We'll go, Yoshi.  How many do you need?" Don said.

"I think five or six cases of pint jars should do," Yoshi said. 
"Wait, maybe you should get eight cases.  If the kids do well at the
tournament, we'll have more meat to can."

Don and the other men took off.  They took the limo so everyone
would fit in one car.  Jack Waters gave Don directions to a store he
felt would have what they needed.

"Have you heard anything about the shop?" Jenny asked her mom.

"Yes, Mrs. Akins sold the shop," Ellen said.

"Are you going to be able to keep your job?  Do you know who bought
the shop?" Jenny said.

Ellen, Sarah, Marge, and Anne chuckled.  Jenny gave the four women a
strange look.

"I'm going to keep my job, Honey.  In fact, Mrs. Waters, Mrs.
Graham, and Mrs. Lewis are going to work with me.  We bought the
shop," Ellen said.

"Are you kidding?" Jenny said.

"No, we're all partners," Ellen said.

"You too, Mom?" Kathy said.

"Yup, me too," Sarah said.

"That's so cool!  Are we going to get a discount?" Kim said.

"We'll think about it," Marge said and then she laughed.

The women began talking about the shop.  Jenny, Kathy, Kim, and
Sally asked a few questions about their mothers' plans.  Ellen told
the girls what Don and Marc said and that they should be able to take
over after the tournament.

"Are you still going to be able to go to North Carolina with us?"
Jenny said.

"Yes, we're going," Ellen said.

"That's cool.  We better get started on the boat.  We have a lot to
do," Kathy said.

The girls headed for the boat.  The women walked to the patio and
sat down.

"Andy said he was going to be able to go on the yacht with us,"
Jodie said.

"That's wonderful, Jodie.  Are you two going to start dating?" Laura
said.

"I think so.  Andy said he wanted to make our relationship more than
casual," Jodie replied.

"He's moving fast, isn't he?" Sarah said.

"I don't think so.  I'm so ready to have a man in my life.  Trent
said he hopes I'm happy," Jodie said.

Chuckling, Marge said, "Does Andy make you happy?"

"He has so far."  The women all laughed.  "It's been a long time
since I've felt so alive," Jodie said.

"It's funny how a good roll in the hay can do that for you, isn't
it?" Sarah said.  She glanced at the other women, thinking about her
night with Don.

"The companionship is great too," Jodie said.  "I didn't realize how
alone I've been since my husband died.  Andy has reminded me that I'm
not dead and that I'm a woman."

"This is very sudden, isn't it?" Anne said.

"Yes and it's scary too.  I just hope Andy wants something more than
a friend with benefits.  Although, that wouldn't be too bad," Jodie
said.

"That's what I thought when I started dating Joel.  Then he
surprised me and asked me to marry him," Laura said.

Jodie chuckled.  "I think it's a little early for me to think like
that, Laura."

"Are you looking forward to the trip to North Carolina?" Anne said.

"Yes I am.  I haven't been on a vacation in years.  When we did go,
it was always something close to home.  We never had a lot of money
for things like vacations and such.  Don't get me wrong, we weren't
poor."

Marge laughed and said, "I know exactly what you're saying.  Before
our windfall, we lived a very meager life.  We didn't get to go on
vacations or buy the things we wanted.  There were times we couldn't
buy the things we needed when we were first married."

"I think all of us went through that.  It seemed that we couldn't
get even, let alone get ahead.  Looking back, I wouldn't change a
thing," Ellen said.

Don and the other men returned with the jars.  They went to the
cleaning table to see how Yoshi and the boys were doing.  Yoshi told
them that they just finished and were ready to take the meat to the
house.  Everyone grabbed one of the deep trays of fish and headed to
the house.  Yoshi told them to place the trays on the counter and he
would take care of everything.  The boys returned to the cleaning
table to get the rest of the meat.

Nate told the teens he was heading out.  He took a bag full of
packaged tuna steaks, telling the group he'd get the canned meat
later.  Everyone thanked him for his help.  Eddie offered to pay
Nate, but he refused.  He told the kids to do well at the tournament
and to have fun.

The boys asked Yoshi if he needed any help with the fish.  He told
them he could handle everything so they went down to the boat so they
could wash it down.  The boys washed the outside of the boat while
the girls took care of the inside.  When they finished, they went to
sit by the pool.

Jeri and April came down from their apartment and began helping
Yoshi.  They formed an assembly line, cutting the fish into chunks to
can.  Yoshi prepared the pressure canner and loaded it with
sterilized jars.  With the first batch of fish cooking, Yoshi began
preparing dinner.

Yoshi announced that dinner was ready.  He served sushi and then
grilled tuna steaks with wild rice and a salad.  Everyone
complemented him on the meal.  Jodie told her friends she'd never
eaten sushi before and that she liked it.

At dinner, the team asked about leaving for the tournament a few
days early.  The parents talked amongst themselves for a few minutes
before agreeing the team could leave when they wanted to.

"When do you want to leave?" Don asked.

"The tournament starts a week from Saturday.  I'd like to get as
many days of practice as we can.  We need to find the fish and find
an area where we can catch our bait," Eddie said.

Sally giggled and said, "We could leave tomorrow after our meeting
with Mr. Levinson."

"I think that you should wait until the weekend, Honey.  Why don't
you kids plan to leave Saturday morning?  That will get you to North
Carolina on Monday and you won't have to run all night," Marc said.

"That's a good plan, Dad.  What does everyone else think?" Tom said.

The team mulled over the idea and agreed that leaving on Saturday
morning made the best sense.  The parents all talked amongst
themselves.  They, too, felt that leaving a few days earlier than
planned would be better.

"What about Fran and Randy?  Aren't they supposed to come too?"
Molly said.

"Yes, they're going to tape our fishing during the tournament.  I
talked to Fran yesterday and she told me that she and Randy would be
here next week.  Fran said that our new gear should be here in a
couple days," Sally said.

"They can ride up on Tomiko or I'll fly them up," Don said.  "Don't
forget that the main purpose of the trip is the tournament, not the
television show.  You kids will have many opportunities to film your
fishing."

"We know, Dad, but the tournament will be good to tape.  It will
give us footage about tuna fishing," Kim said.

"I'm not telling you not to tape the tournament.  I'm saying that
you should concentrate on fishing, not the show next weekend.  You
kids have taken on a lot and if you don't prioritize everything, you
won't get anything completed," Don said.

"We'll make the taping secondary to the tournament, won't we?" Tom
said as he glanced at his teammates.

The teens all nodded their heads in agreement.  Joel told them that
he finished the paperwork for the production company and that they
should plan to meet as planned the next morning.

Jenny asked if the team could be excused so they could go to the
boat and make sure they had everything ready for their trip.  Their
parents said it was okay.

The team got up and began clearing the table.  They took the dishes
into the house, rinsed them, and put them into the dishwasher. 
Yoshi, Jeri, and April went to the kitchen to finish the clean up.

"Andy, Jodie, we have a few things to go over.  You're welcome to
stay if you'd like," Joel said.

"We'll get everyone fresh drinks," Jodie said.  Laura got up,
telling Jodie she'd help.

"My accountant went over the books for Sheer Delights.  He said the
business is stable and profitable.  There's some debt, but no more
than normal.  If you want my recommendation, I feel the purchase
would be a good investment," Joel said.

"Did you make an offer?" Marc said.

"Yes I did.  I called Mrs. Akins' attorney and told him what we
talked about earlier.  He feels that Mrs. Akins will accept the
terms.  If she does, we should be able to close by the end of the
month," Joel said.

"I know that Mrs. Akins took out a loan to remodel the shop and buy
new fixtures three years ago.  Is that the debt you're referring
too?" Ellen said.

"Yes it is.  There are accounts payables for the inventory, but
that's about it.  All of utilities are up to date," Joel said.

"How much is she asking for the business?" Harry said.

"We offered three million for the business and the inventory.  She
asked for three million, seven hundred fifty thousand.  I think that
she's ready to get out," Joel said.  "Three million is five times the
book value of the business.  That's a fair offer.  Our offer includes
a very low interest rate."

"I think that everything sounds good, Joel.  If the girls are sure
they want to own the business, we'll take it.  That is if Mrs. Akins
accepts our offer," Don said.

"What if she doesn't?" Ellen said.

"Mrs. Akins will make a counter offer if she doesn't like our offer.
If she does, we'll take a look at it and negotiate," Joel said.

"How high are we willing to go?" Anne said.

Don chuckled and said, "We'll give her the full amount if that's the
only way we can purchase Sheer Delights."

"Most people set the opening price higher than they're willing to
accept.  I suggested offering less than three million, but Don and
Marc told me they didn't want to drag things out.  As I said, I think
Mrs. Akins is ready to sell and get out," Joel said.

"When do you think we'll know?" Sarah asked.

"We gave her until Friday," Joel replied.  "Don't worry, we have
everything under control."

Andy, Jodie, and Laura came back out with fresh drinks for the
group.  They sat down after passing the drinks out to their friends.

"Would you like us to go back inside?  We were watching Yoshi can
the tuna," Laura said.

"No, we're almost finished.  That and we don't have any secrets,"
Marc said.  "Joel was explaining where we were with our offer to buy
Sheer Delights."

"I hope things work out for you guys," Laura said.

"We do too, Laura.  This is very exciting," Ellen said.

Don went into the house, returning with Jeri and April.  He asked
them to join the group so they could go over the trip to North
Carolina.  Jeri assured the group that the boat was ready to go
anytime they wanted to leave.

"The kids are leaving Saturday so they'll have a few days to
practice.  Are we still planning to leave on Tuesday?" Marge said.

"As I said, we're ready to go.  You can leave whenever you'd like
to.  Yoshi has the menu finished and we have a few things to pick up,
but other than that, were all set," Jeri said.

"Are you thinking of leaving earlier, Don?" Anne said.

"No, I think that we'll be fine if we leave on Tuesday morning.  How
early does everyone want to leave?" Don said.

"The earlier the better," Ellen said.  "I'm looking forward to the
trip."

"If I can make a suggestion, why don't you stay on Tomiko on Monday
night and we'll leave very early on Tuesday morning.  We can depart
while you're sleeping," April said.

The group talked for a few minutes and agreed that staying on the
yacht Monday night made sense.  The women decided to pack the things
they planned to take on Sunday.  Jeri mentioned that Frank and Erin
would be on the yacht too.

"Are they working out?  I know you haven't had much opportunity to
take the yacht out yet, but I've seen them working," Don said.

"I think they'll do fine.  Frank and Erin are very willing to learn
and work hard.  They've learned their way around Tomiko and I feel
they're ready," April said.

The sound of laughter caused the adults to look toward the pool. 
They watched their naked teenage children jumping into the water.

Shaking her head, Jodie said, "I can't believe how quickly Trent got
over his shyness."

"I think that a gaggle of naked girls will do that for a boy," Marge
said.

Everyone laughed and agreed.  April asked if Don needed anything
else, telling the group that she and Jeri were going to go help Yoshi
when Don told her he didn't.

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going to take a dip
with the kids," Sarah said.

The adults grabbed their drinks and went to the pool.  Standing by
the lounge chairs, they began stripping.  Jodie stood next to Andy,
waiting to see what he was going to do.  He smiled at her and removed
his shirt.

One by one, the parents jumped into the pool.  They gathered close
to their children, all of them laughing.  Then, as if someone
signaled it, a splashing fight broke out.  The teens splashed the
adults and their parents splashed back.  The horseplay went on for
about fifteen minutes before Marc called a truce.

Kim wrapped her arms around Trent.  She rested her head against his
chest, wiggling as he stroked her back.  Jodie watched her son and
Kim, smiling when Andy put his arm around her waist.

"Wild group, aren't they?" Andy whispered.

"Yeah, but they're fun too.  This doesn't bother you, does it?"
Jodie said.

"I could put up with most anything if I get to see you naked," Andy
said and then he chuckled.

"Like this is hard to put up with!"

Making sure the water hid her action, Jodie moved her hand to Andy's
crotch.  She gave his penis a gentle squeeze and looked into his
eyes.  "I wish we could repeat last night."

"We can if you want to.  I don't have any early appointments in the
morning.  I'd love to spend the night with you again."

"I would too, but I have to think about Trent."  Jodie gave Andy's
penis another squeeze and released him.

Turning Jodie so she could see Trent and Kim, Andy said, "I think he
has his own agenda."

Jodie chuckled as she watched his son hugging and kissing Kim.  They
stood in neck deep water so she couldn't see what they did with their
hands.  From the looks on the two teens' faces, Jodie felt she had a
pretty good idea.

Kim and Trent separated.  They held hands as they walked over to
Jodie and Andy.  Jodie smiled, trying to hide her discomfort.  This
wasn't the first time she went skinny-dipping with her son, but she
still wasn't completely at ease.

"Mom, can I stay here tonight?" Trent said.  He diverted his eyes
away from his mother's breasts.

Kim slipped her arm around Trent.  She felt her body quiver as she
held him next to her.  Jodie glanced between Trent and Kim, smiling
as she nodded her head.

"You can if it's okay with Kim's parents," Jodie said.

"Cool, I'll go ask them," Kim said.  She started to drag Trent, but
Jodie stopped her.

"I want to talk to you for a minute, Trent," Jodie said.

Andy smiled and said, "Would you like something to drink, Honey?"

Jodie blushed at his use of honey as she nodded her head.  Trent
grinned.

"What's up, Mom?  I wanted to talk to you too," Trent said.

"Um, I wanted you to know that I spent the night with Andy last
night.  I'm going to go to his house again tonight."

"That's cool.  Kim told me she loves me, Mom!  Can you believe it?"

"How do you feel about her, Son?"

"I love her too.  She is so sweet."

Jodie began chuckling.  She could see the enchantment in Trent's
eyes and hear his excitement in his voice.  She remembered how she
felt about Hal when she was younger.  She also remembered the joy of
being in love.  Jodie didn't know if the infatuation between Kim and
Trent and Kim would last, but then no one knows how long love will
last.

Kim came back, moved behind Trent, and wrapped her arms around him. 
"Mom said Trent could stay."

Jodie decided to have a little fun at Trent's expense.  She fought
the urge to smile and said, "Where will you sleep?"

Giggling, Kim moved next to Trent.  "With me," she said as a matter
of fact.

Even though she knew that Trent would probably share a bed with Kim,
Jodie wasn't prepared for the girl's quick, straightforward answer. 
It took a moment for her to gather her thoughts before she could
respond.  She and the other moms talked about honesty and the fact
that the teens didn't lie to their parents.  Jodie knew that the
other parents told her that if Trent hung around with their children
their outright truthfulness might shock her.  Chuckling, Jodie
realized the other women were spot on.

"Oh, I see," Jodie managed to say.  "I wasn't expecting that answer
even thought I sort of felt that's where Trent would sleep."

"My dad told me to never ask a question I didn't want an honest
answer to.  I won't lie, Mrs. McBride.  No mater what you ask me, my
answer will be the truth.  I'm not ashamed of the things I do.  If I
were, I wouldn't do them," Kim said.

Jodie stared at Kim and smiled.  "You should learn from her, Trent."

"I am learning, Mom.  I won't lie to you, not anymore.  I'm having
too much fun to screw things up," Trent said.

"I want you to come home after you have your meeting tomorrow." 
Jodie moved closer to Trent so she could give him a hug.

It wasn't until their bodies pressed together that Jodie remembered
she was naked.  Her body stiffened, but quickly relaxed when Trent
hugged her back.  "I'll come home as soon as we finish, Mom.  Do you
know if Grandpa has gaffs and harpoons at the store?  We need to pick
up a couple gaffs and a harpoon before we leave."

"I'm not sure, but I can call him and ask.  If he doesn't have them,
I'm sure he knows where you can find what you need."

"You don't have to call him, Mom.  I'll check tomorrow," Trent said.
He released his mom and moved back to Kim.

"I have to call to let Grandpa know I won't be home tonight."

Jodie told Trent and Kim she was going to sit with the other adults.
She left the pool and the two teens went to talk to the rest of their
group.

"Are you okay, Honey?  You have a very strange look on your face,"
Andy said as Jodie took a chair next to him.

"I'm fine, shocked, but fine," Jodie said.  She took the drink from
Andy and drank half of it.

"What shocked you?" Andy said.

"Well, you heard Trent ask if he could stay here tonight, right?" 
Andy nodded.  "Kim asked Marge and she said it was okay.  When Kim
told me, I thought I'd have a little fun.  I asked Trent where he
planned to sleep.  Kim told me that he was going to sleep with her."

Andy shook his head and chuckled.  Marge overheard Jodie and started
laughing.  Looking around Andy, Jodie smiled at Marge.  "Kim put me
in my place, didn't she?"

"No, she answered your question, Jodie," Marge replied.  She felt
proud of her daughter.

"Kim told me that Don taught her to never ask a question that she
didn't want an honest answer to.  She also said she'd never lie,"
Jodie said.

"She better not lie to you or anyone else.  Don taught all of us
that lesson.  He feels that honesty is one of the most important
qualities a person can have.  Don also told our kids that he'd never
punish them for being honest," Marge said.

"What if they do something against the law?" Jodie said.

"Then the law will punish them.  We've tried to teach them not to do
anything they're ashamed of or that's illegal.  So far, it's worked,"
Marge said.

"I knew the kids were special, but I didn't realize how special they
are.  I can tell you that Shimano is going to be proud to sponsor the
fishing team.  I hope you don't mind if I let my company know about
them and their very unique outlook on things.  They're ambassadors
for our sport," Andy said.

"I don't mind, but I don't think you should tell Shimano about their
personal activities," Marge said, causing everyone to laugh.

"I'll keep that part under my hat.  Besides, our company cares about
their fishing.  The fact they are wholesome only adds to the appeal. 
If they do well at the tournament, I'm going to invite one of our
vice presidents to meet them," Andy said.  He looked across the pool
and smiled.  "I can't get over how close those kids are."

Kim and Trent stood with their kids around them.  Trent kept his arm
around Kim and told the others what happened with his mom.

"Kim told my mom that we were going to sleep together.  I thought I
was going to die," Trent said.

"Why, you're going to sleep with me, aren't you?" Kim said.

"Well yeah, but I wasn't going to tell Mom," Trent said.  "You sure
shocked my mom when you said it, Kim."

The rest of the teens laughed and teased Trent.  "What's wrong with
sleeping with someone, it isn't like you're going to do anything
else, are you?" Jenny said.

Kim giggled.  "That's right.  If I was planning anything else, I
would have told Mrs. McBride."

Trent looked at Kim and said, "You'd tell my mom we're having sex?"

"Sure, any of us would if our parents asked.  It doesn't matter
though, they know what we do," Kathy said.

Kim tried not to laugh.  She gave Trent a hug and kissed his ear. 
"I didn't know you wanted to have sex tonight.  Do you?"  Trent
grinned and nodded.  "Okay, let's go talk to your mom."

Trent thought for a moment.  He shrugged his shoulders and nodded. 
Kim giggled and kissed him again.  "You'd do that?  You'd tell your
mom that we're going to have sex?"

Looking into Kim's eyes, Trent said, "No, I'd tell her we're going
to make love."

"Awe, isn't he sweet?" Molly said.

"I think so," Kim said.  She hugged Trent and kissed his cheek.

"I'm getting out," Jack said.  He took Sally's hand and led her from
the pool.  The rest of the teens followed Jack and Sally, taking
chairs on the opposite side of the pool from their parents.

The group talked about the day of fishing.  They rehashed the things
they learned while fishing with Nate, making suggestions on how to
improve.  After a half hour, Eddie stood up.

"I think we're going to head home.  It's been a long day," Eddie said.

"What's up for tomorrow?" Kathy said.

"We have the appointment at Mr. Stone's office at ten.  After that,
we should make sure we're ready for our trip.  We have to change our
float plan because we're leaving earlier than we originally planned,"
Jenny said.

The teens walked around the pool, glancing at their parents as they
went into the pool house.  They split into two groups, went into the
showers, and began rinsing the chlorine from their bodies.

Tom gave Molly a bottle of shampoo and told her to wash his hair. 
She giggled, stepped up on the bench, and poured some shampoo on his
head.  Tom put his hands on Molly's shoulders, pulled her close, and
nuzzled her breasts while she worked her fingers against his scalp. 
He moved his hands to her bottom, kneading her cheeks and causing her
to giggle.

"Why don't you do that for me?" Brad said to Jenny.  He cocked his
head toward Tom and Molly and grinned.

Giggling, Jenny jumped onto the bench next to Molly.  Holding the
shampoo, she told Brad to come closer.  Jenny began washing his hair
and Brad used his mouth to tease her breasts.

"Do you want me to wash your hair too?" Kim said to Trent.

"Sure," Trent said.

Kim stood next to Jenny and poured shampoo on Trent's head.  He
moved closer and, like Brad and Tom did to Molly and Jenny, he laved
Kim's breasts.  The girls finished washing their boyfriends' hair and
told them to rinse.

Kim, Jenny, and Molly jumped off the bench and waited until the boys
finished rinsing their hair.  Trent took the shampoo and washed Kim's
tresses.  They shared a hug and kiss as the suds ran down her body.

The teens took turns washing each other, rinsed off, and left the
shower room.  They dried themselves in the common area and dressed.

"We'll pick you guys up tomorrow at nine thirty.  After we go to Mr.
Levinson's office, we can look for the additional gaffs and a
harpoon," Jack to the team.

"That sounds good, Jack.  Trent, do you think your granddad will
have what we need?" Jenny said.

"I can call and ask," Trent said.

The group told their parents goodnight as they headed for the house.
Trent used the kitchen phone to call Sid and ask about the gaffs and
a harpoon.  After telling his grandfather he'd see him the next day,
Trent hung up.

"My grandpa says he has what we need.  He said that he'd have
everything ready for us tomorrow," Trent told the group.

Jack, Tom, Trent, Sally, Molly, and Kim stood in the driveway and
told their friends goodbye.  Brad, Kathy, Eddie, and Jenny climbed
into Eddie's van and waved as Eddie pulled away.

"I'm going to bed," Kim said as she took Trent's hand.  "It's been a
very long day."

The group went into the guesthouse.  They all said goodnight and
went to their rooms.  Kim stripped and climbed into bed.  She moved
over, making room for Trent.

Tom and Molly went to their room.  He stood near the bed, smiling as
Molly removed his clothes.  She knelt on the floor, looked up, and
rubbed Tom's penis against her cheek.  He used both hands to grip her
ponytail and pulled her mouth to him.  She opened her mouth, moaning
as he slid his penis in.  Molly clamped her lips around Tom's shaft,
gazing into his eyes as he slowly moved back and forth.

Molly continued sucking Tom until he pulled her up.  He kissed her
and guided her to the bed.

"Do you want me to finish sucking your cock?" Molly said.

Tom smiled and shook his head.

"Are you going to fuck me?"

"Not tonight, Baby.  I want to cuddle and get some sleep," Tom said.

"Okay, anything you want, Tom," Molly said.  She snuggled against
him and gave Tom a kiss.  "I love you, Tom."

"I love you too, Baby.  Wake me up with a blowjob in the morning." 
Tom kissed Molly.

She giggled, nodded her head, and closed her eyes.  Tom held Molly
against him.  He kissed her forehead and settled in for the night.

Eddie dropped Kathy and Brad off at their house.  He hugged and
kissed Kathy, telling her he'd see her in the morning.  Jenny and
Brad walked to the porch and stopped to kiss each other good night.

"When was the last time you and Kathy did anything together?" Jenny
said.

Brad looked at Jenny and said, "I don't know.  It's been a while."

Giggling, Jenny rubbed Brad's crotch.  "She misses it, Baby.  You
know I don't care if you two want to have sex."

Brad chuckled.  "Does someone want to fuck their brother?"

"Yeah, but that's not why I'm telling you this.  Kathy mentioned it
to me and I told her I'd tell you.  You know I love you and Kathy." 
Jenny kissed Brad's nose.  "You know darn well that if I want to fuck
Eddie that I'd do it and wouldn't feel guilty about it."

Kathy and Eddie came up to the porch.  They all said goodbye and
Eddie told Brad he'd pick them up to go to Joel Levinson's office the
next morning.

As Jenny and Eddie walked toward the truck, Brad said, "Hey Little
Bit.  Don't do anything I wouldn't do."


Jenny turned around and smiled.  "Don't worry, I won't."

Eddie and Jenny climbed into the van and left.  Brad opened the door
for his sister and let her in.

"What was that all about?" Kathy said.

Brad wrapped his arms around Kathy and gave her a kiss.  "Do you
want me to tell you or show you?"

Giggling, Kathy said, "Hmmm, show me."

Brad pulled Kathy's top over her head.  He unfastened her bra and
removed it.  Covering her breasts with both hands, Brad leaned close
and kissed her.

"What do you think, Kathy?  Want to fool around?" Brad said.

Kathy hugged her brother and nodded.  On the way to their rooms,
Kathy said, "I hope Mom and Dad don't get pissed off tomorrow."

"Why would they?"

"Because they might find out that you spent the night in my bed."

Brad chuckled and guided Kathy into her room.  The siblings removed
each other's clothes and climbed into bed.  They came together in a
heated kiss and began running their hands over one another's bodies.

Jenny followed Eddie into his bedroom.  When he asked her what she
wanted, Jenny said, "Do you know what Brad and Kathy are going to do
tonight?"

Eddie laughed.  "No, tell me."

Jenny stood in front of her brother and began unfastening his
shorts.  She pushed them and his underwear down his legs, knelt on
the floor, and put his cock in her mouth.  Jenny sucked and bobbed
her head until Eddie's penis expanded.  Standing up, she kissed Eddie
and giggled.

Eddie helped his sister remove her clothes and tossed her onto the
bed.  He climbed between her legs, pushed them apart, and kissed her
crotch.  Sitting back on his heels, he smiled at her.  Jenny reached
for Eddie, pulling him up so she could kiss him.

"Sometimes I think we're biting off more than we can handle.  We
have the fishing team and the tournaments we have to fish.  We're
going to be producing a television show and, before too long, we're
going to be in school," Jenny said.

"What do you want to do?  I think we're fine and that all the things
we have planned will be fun."

"I don't know what I want to do, Eddie.  I love everything we're
doing, but it doesn't give us any time to hang around with the other
kids we know."  Jenny gave Eddie a tender kiss.  "Sometimes I feel a
little overwhelmed."

"Is that how you're feeling now?"

Giggling, Jenny said, "No, right now I feel horny."

"Well I know the cure for horniness.  If you want to, we can talk to
everyone tomorrow.  If you want to back off, I'm sure everyone will
understand, Jenny."

"I don't want to make anyone pissed at me."

"Does that include you?" Eddie said.  He wiggled against Jenny,
rubbing his penis against her vulva.

"What do you mean?"

"You shouldn't make yourself unhappy trying to make everyone else
happy."  Eddie gave Jenny a kiss as he slipped his penis into her
vagina.

"Mmmm, now that makes me happy!  Do you remember the first time you
fucked me?"

Eddie chuckled.  "The way I remember it, you fucked me.  Wasn't it
you that shoved your pussy around my cock?"

"Details, details.  It doesn't matter who did it to who first.  Now,
why don't you shut up and fuck me?"

"Can I talk and fuck you?" Eddie said.  Jenny giggled and nodded. 
"Good.  Sweetie, it's important that we all agree on the things we
do.  It isn't right that you feel bad in order to make everyone else
happy."

Jenny sighed and pulled Eddie down so she could kiss him as he sawed
his penis in and out of her.  She didn't want to talk or think about
the team or anything other than the wonderful feeling of having Eddie
in her.  Jenny began moving beneath her brother and meeting his
steady thrusts.

Eddie and Jenny continued moving as one.  After a few minutes, he
pulled out of her vagina, flipped her on her stomach, and entered her
again.  Jenny let out a moan as Eddie began pumping in and out of her
again.

"Oh I miss that," Jenny said as she cuddled with her brother,
basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking.

"We keep saying we should do it more often, but we don't."  Eddie
gave Jenny a kiss.  "I was beginning to think you didn't like fucking
me anymore."

"Nothing could be further from the truth, Eddie.  I miss it too." 
Jenny giggled and wiggled against Eddie.  "To tell the truth, I love
fucking!  Making love with Brad is wonderful and doing it with you is
beyond words.  Please don't think I'm weird, but I also loved it when
Jack fucked me."

"I don't think you're weird.  Horny maybe, but not weird."  Eddie
hugged Jenny and gave her a kiss.  He slipped his tongue into her
mouth, causing her to moan.  Pulling his head back, Eddie looked into
Jenny's eyes.  "Tomorrow, before we sign the papers for the
production company, I think we should have a meeting to discuss how
you feel.  If we need to make a change, that's the time to do it."

"We don't have to do that," Jenny said.

"Yes we do, Baby.  Your happiness is more important to me than
anything and if you're not happy, we should talk about it.  All of us
should talk about it."

Jenny hugged Eddie as hard as she could.  She buried her face into
the crook of his neck and began to cry softly.  Jenny felt overcome
with love, love for her brother.  As much as she felt she and Eddie
should carry on the conversation, she couldn't.

Holding his sister against him, Eddie reached over to the lamp and
shut it off.  He stroked Jenny's back, whispering that everything
would be okay.  She nodded as she drifted to sleep.
