   Chapter 34 - Day 37 Sunday Reno NV.  to San Francisco Kay thought far
enough ahead to set the alarm clock in the bedroom, so the next morning the
alarm went off at exactly 8:00AM.  Kay kissed me as I stretched and woke
up. Then she popped out of bed full of energy; it was most irritating.  On
my other side Kimmy rolled over with a smile on her lips, kissed my cheek
and curled up next to me.

   "Sorry Kimmy, we ain't got time for you two to have another bout," Kay
told her as she took clothes from her suitcase and headed for the door. 
"You two need to get up.  Kim, can you make everyone some breakfast?" Kay
asked at the bedroom door.  Kimmy sat up and nodded.  Kay smiled at me and
left the bedroom.  Kimmy ran her hand down my arm and rolled out of bed. 
She didn't have any clothes with her so she left the bedroom wearing
nothing but her smile.  It was amazing how quickly my circumstances
changed. One moment I was in bed with two naked women, seconds later, I was
alone.

   I shook my head, rolled out of bed and got dressed.  I went to the
bathroom while Kay was in the shower.  I said hi to her and then used the
toilet.  Kay was out of the shower in fifteen minutes.  She went in to the
living area, woke up Erin and Lori and sent Erin to shower.  Lori came out
and sat with me as Kimmy served us breakfast and Kay joined us minutes
later.  We sat together and ate the pancakes while Kimmy served.  Erin came
out after ten minutes dressed but her hair was still wet.  No one spoke to
Erin and Erin spoke to no one.  She took a plate, put a couple pancakes on
it, poured a huge amount of maple syrup over the pancakes and started
eating.  We talked but Erin did not participate in the conversation.  There
was a sort of silent understanding.

   Once we finished breakfast, we all went into our bedrooms and packed. 
Lori, Kimmy and I all took showers, finished packing and loaded up the RV.
I checked us out and we headed for the Western Union office.  I had
forgotten about the money my father had sent.  Luckily, my memory had
returned.  We stopped at the Western Union and got my Travelers' checks and
then hit the road headed west into California.  Finally, I was sure I would
make it to San Francisco.

   While it wasn't that long of a drive, only a little more than three
hours, I didn't see the girls during the trip.  As we were crossing the
Oakland Bay Bridge Kay came up, took the passengers seat and helped me find
my way to the campground.  We pulled in at just about two-thirty that
afternoon and I went in and checked in.  Lori guided me into our slot and
plugged us in.  I picked up the cell phone and dialed Annie's number.  Not
too unexpectedly, I got her voice mail: "Annie, It's Jason.  I'm in San
Francisco.  I'm at the San Rafael RV Park at the intersection of Van Ness
Avenue and California Street.  Spot nine." I gave her my cell phone number
and hung up.

   After leaving the message I got up and went back to the living area
where I found Kimmy making everyone a late hot lunch with grilled cheese
sandwiches.  Kay, Erin and Lori were all sitting at the table, staring at
each other quietly.  "What's going on?" I asked as I slid in beside Erin.
No one spoke for a moment and then Erin turned to me, she had been crying.

   "I want to go home Jason," she told me.  I looked at Kay and she just
stared back at me and gave a small nod.  "We don't need to leave
immediately.  See your friend or whatever, but..." She didn't finish.

   "You're sure?" She nodded.  "Why the big change?  What about your ex?" I
asked.

   "I called home yesterday," she told me, then took a long pause.  "Before
I went out on my date I called my parents and a few friends.  Rob was
arrested two days ago on assault and battery charges.  With all the charges
they have lined up against him, he's going to be spending quite a while in
jail.  His parents have refused to bail him out so he's sitting in jail
until his trial, which won't begin until the end of the year." "It's time
Jason," she said with tears rolling down her face.  I nodded.

   "Okay, we'll leave the day after tomorrow and head for the east coast.
Maybe I'll make a stop at home while we're out there.  Is that okay?" She
nodded.  I started to get up.  "Is that why you decided to get sloshed
yesterday?" She laughed and nodded.  Kimmy served us each a sandwich and
some potato chips and a soda.  We all sat and discussed the plans.  Just as
we were finishing lunch the phone rang.  I went to the front and slid into
the drivers seat and answered it.

   "Hi Jason.  It's Annie.  I'm in my car.  I'm coming up Van Ness towards
California.  How do I find your RV?" she asked without any small talk.

   "I'll be waiting outside."

   "Okay, I'm at the stoplight at California.  I should be there in a
minute.  I can't wait to see you," she said and disconnected.

   I hung up and yelled back to the others, "Annie's coming over.  She
should be here any minute now.  I'm going to go wait outside for her."
Someone acknowledged me; it was too soft for me to recognize the voice.  I
got out and sat on the front fender of the RV and watched the dirt path
waiting for Annie's car to arrive.

   She drove up in a light blue, rusted out Honda Accord.  She stopped
right in front of the RV, jumped out and ran into my arms.  I hugged her
tight, held her for a moment and kissed her cheek.  "How long are you going
to be here?" she asked as soon as we let each other go.

   "Uh..." I hadn't expected her to be so direct.  "Probably leave day
after tomorrow," I told her.  She suddenly looked very sad.  "Why?" I
asked. We both went over and sat on the front of her car while she told me
what was going on.

   "I don't know whether you know it or not but my parents disowned me when
I came out to California." I had heard rumors.  Our parents were old
friends; they talked often about Annie and her boyfriend.  Her parents had
strongly disapproved of her boyfriend and the plan to relocate.  I dreaded
where this was going and asked myself how I kept finding girls with these
hard luck stories.

   "Where is Tony?" I asked dreading the answer.

   "He left me two weeks ago," she said already crying.  "He met someone
else."

   She threw herself at me and I was forced to wrap my arms around her. 
She buried her face in my shoulder and started crying harder than I had
ever seen her cry before.  I tried asking her questions, but she was so
upset she couldn't answer them, so I just let her cry.  Kay came of the RV
at one point; I noticed her but when she saw what was going on, she turned
around and went right back in.  I wondered at the time if she
misinterpreted what was going on but at that moment I couldn't do anything
about it.  I pushed it to the back of my mind and continued consoling
Annie. Slowly, Annie pulled herself together and sat up and wiped her face.

   "Annie," I said.  I waited until she got herself under control and was
looking at me.  "Do you have someplace to sleep?  Have you eaten?" I asked.
I knew her boyfriend had a good job in San Francisco, but last time I
talked to her, she wasn't even working.  I was quite sure the apartment was
in the boyfriend's name, which means she had probably been kicked out.

   "I'm sleeping in my car trying to save money to get a place," she said.

   "When did you eat last?" I asked.  She looked terrible.  I had noticed
it as soon as she drove up.  She was pale and rugged looking.  She looked,
and honestly, she smelled like she hadn't showered in a week.

   "I ate this morning," she told me tearfully.

   "What did you have?"

   "A Danish and some coffee," She was hesitant to say it.

   "Come on.  You can stay here tonight." I stood up and brought her with
me.  "Let me guess, you were talking to me on your cell phone weren't you?"
She nodded and I pulled her up off the car and led her inside.  "Kimmy, can
you fix Annie something to eat?" I asked as we went inside.  All four of
the girls were sitting around the table.  Lori stood up while Kimmy got
out, went to the refrigerator and started pulling out the bread, lunchmeat,
cheese and condiments.  I led Annie to the couch and sat down with her.

   "Everyone, I'd like you to meet Annie.  I know it's going to be crowded,
but she's going to spend the night with us tonight." To my great relief no
one objected.  Kay stood up and went over next to Kimmy, I wasn't sure what
she was doing.  "Annie, that's Kimmy cooking," I said as I pointed at
Kimmy. She turned and smiled at Annie.  "Kayley is the one with the red
hair." Kay was coming towards us with a wet washcloth in one hand.

   "Hi," she said standing in front of Annie.  She handed Annie the
washcloth and then retreated to the love seat across the aisle.  Annie said
hello, thanked her and started wiping her face.

   "The short one," I said pointing to Lori "is Lori, Kay's younger
sister." Lori smiled but said nothing.  "And finally, Erin is sitting at
the table." Erin smiled and wiggled her fingers.  Annie waved back. 
Looking into Kay's eyes, I could see the questions building up but I knew
she wouldn't ask, not in front of Annie.  I wasn't about to volunteer any
information without Annie's consent.

   "I hope I'm not going to put anyone out," Annie said after wiping her
face.  "This place looks barely big enough for the five of you.

   "It is barely big enough for the five of us," Lori stated.  I shot her a
dirty look and she retreated back to the table and sat down next to Erin.

   "Sandwiches are done," Kimmy told us and brought a plate with two
sandwiches and some potato chips on it over and handed it to Annie.  Kay
got her a soda.  Kimmy went and sat down at the table while Kay sat back
down on the love seat.  I could tell she was thinking by the way she was
staring off.  Annie took a bite of her sandwich, told Kimmy it was
wonderful and thanked her.  I stood up and started pacing.

   "Where are you working right now Annie?" I asked.  She finished the bite
of sandwich before answering.

   "I'm working as a waitress at a coffee shop," she told me.

   "Do you have any money?" She didn't respond.  I could see she was
embarrassed to admit that she had nothing.  She finally shook her head no.
"After you finish eating, you need to go move your car.  It can't sit in
the middle of the road.  After that, you can take a shower and then we can
discuss what to do next," I said, my mind already running a hundred miles
an hour.

   "Jason," Annie said between bites.  "I can't..." I didn't let her
finish.

   "Annie, you're one of my oldest friends.  I'm not going to let you sleep
in your car and go without eating or bathing if I have a choice and I do. I
have the resources.  You will stay tonight and we will figure out
something," I told her.

   "He's right," Kay agreed.  "We can make it work." She smiled at me.  She
had something figured out.  She stood up and headed for the bedroom. 
"Kimmy, make sure she's comfortable.  Lori, you stay quiet," Kay ordered as
she went back to the bedroom.  I followed her telling Annie that I would be
back in a minute.

   Kay and I went into the bedroom and she closed the door.  "This can work
Jason.  We can fit everyone in here but it won't be comfortable." I just
nodded.  "I will talk to Lori and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble.
She won't, I promise," Kay told me and took hold of my hands in hers.  "You
do what you need to do."

   "Any ideas?" I asked and flopped down on the bed.

   "Sell her car and take her back to Virginia," Kay said.  It was the
obvious answer.  "How long has she been here?" Kay asked.

   "About six months.  She graduated early," I explained.  "Her boyfriend
threw her out two weeks ago.  She's working in a coffee shop and living out
of her car.  She has no place to live," I told her.  "What about sleeping
arrangements?"

   "Well, I don't know your history; will she want to sleep with you?" Kay
asked.

   "I don't know," I said shaking my head.  "We have never had sex.  I have
no idea what she expects."

   "Okay.  Well, don't be surprised if she wants to spend the night with
you tonight.  After all, you're the only one she knows.  When you get her
alone, ask."

   I nodded and we both headed back to the front.  Kay didn't sit down;
instead she grabbed her kid sister and dragged her into the bedroom.  I
hoped they didn't get to loud.  I went over to Annie.  Kimmy was sitting
with her.  Annie's plate was now empty.

   "Come on," I said and held out my hand.  Annie took my hand and I led
her back outside.  She got in her car and we easily parked it beside the
RV. When she got out of the car we pulled out a couple deck chairs and sat
down outside for a while.  "So, what do you want to do?" I asked right off
the bat.

   "What can I do?" She asked.

   "You could go home," I stated.

   "My parents disowned me remember?" Annie reminded me.

   "If all else fails, you can stay with my parents for the summer.  You
were accepted to William and Mary.  Go this fall!" I told her.  "My parents
will let you stay with them since I won't even be there."

   "And how do I pay for the flight?" She asked.

   "I'll take you free of charge.  You can sell your car.  That should give
you a couple hundred dollars, enough for spending money.  I'm heading east
after we leave here anyway.  I was actually thinking about making a stop at
home to see my parents and stuff.  Think about it." She just nodded.

   I decided not to push it any further.  "There is one other thing we need
to discuss while we're alone." I wasn't sure how to go about asking so I
just pushed on.  "Any idea where you want to sleep tonight?" She just
looked at me.  "Put simply, there are only four beds.  With you, there are
six people.  The RV is big enough to sleep six, or so they claim, but you
will need to share a bed with someone." At this point she looked away from
me.  "Don't take this wrong, but you're welcome to sleep with me if you'd
feel more comfortable." She took it wrong.  Her head snapped around, her
eyes wide as she stared at me.  "Nothing sexual," I promised with a smile.
"Considering I'm the only one you know, I just thought, you might feel more
comfortable sleeping with me than with one of the girls." She nodded in
understanding.

   "What about Hayley?" She asked.

   "It's Kayley," I corrected her.  She just shrugged.  "Is it that
obvious?"

   "You never looked at me like that.  If you had, I never would have
broken up with you," she told me and blushed.  I laughed.  We sat in
silence for a few minutes.  "I think I was promised a shower," Annie said.
I nodded, stood up, took her hand and led her back inside.  I gave her a
quick grand tour of the RV.  I then showed her the bathroom and gave her a
short lesson in taking a shower.  She then went outside, took some of her
clothes out of her car and came back.  Kay found a place to store them for
the night and then handed her a towel.  I saw Annie and Kay have a quick
conversation by the bathroom door but I didn't hear what was said.  Annie
vanished into the bathroom and Kay came back to join the rest of us.  I
hadn't noticed until then, but Lori was being awful quiet.  I sat on the
couch daydreaming, not really noticing what was going on around me the
entire time Annie was in the shower.  I think I was remembering our time
together before graduation.

   Annie and I had met while still in elementary school.  We were close for
many years but when we were about thirteen we started drifting apart as
Annie got into boys while I stayed a dork.  By the time we were sixteen, I
was out of my dork phase and slowly we became friends again and eventually
we started dating.  That lasted for all of two weeks before it was over
with.  We stayed friends.  She would discuss her boy problems with me and I
would discuss my lack of girl problems with her.  I almost cried the day
she got on the plane to leave for San Francisco.

   While Annie was in the shower, Kimmy went into the bedroom and got the
small bag she had bought yesterday.  She went to Erin and set it on her lap
without a word.  Erin looked at Kimmy, then at the small bag, then back at
Kimmy.  "What is this?"

   "Yesterday I went shopping.  I bought everyone a present.  I gave Lori,
Jason and Kay their presents but you were unconscious at the time." Kimmy
smiled at Erin.

   "What is it?" Erin asked.  Kimmy just smiled, Kay and I both shrugged.
"You didn't have to get me anything," Erin told Kimmy.

   "I know.  I wanted to," Kimmy said.  Erin didn't say anything else as
she slowly opened the present.  She was very careful with the paper.  She
exposed a small black case and then opened it.  "Oh my God!" She stood up
and hugged Kimmy tightly.  "It's beautiful.  Thank you," Erin said.  When
they broke from the hug, Erin handed Kay the small black box and Kay and I
got our first look at it.  Inside was an eight-inch gold anklet.

   "It isn't as personal as the gifts I bought the others, but..."

   "I understand," Erin said smiling.  "It's beautiful Kimmy.  Thank you."
They hugged again, Kimmy even kissed Erin's cheek.  Kay handed the anklet
to Lori who then handed it back to Erin.  Erin sat down and quickly put the
anklet on around her left ankle.  Annie came out of the bathroom with a
bathrobe on.  I stood up and met her outside the bathroom.

   "Come on." I took her hand and led her to the bedroom and closed the
door.  We both sat down on the edge of the bed.  "Annie, I can't leave you
here.  Not like this," I told her.  "We need to find a way to get you out
of here.  Like I said if you want to go home, say so.  We're going east
tomorrow.  We can drop you off somewhere."

   "Jason..."

   "Don't be stubborn Anna Beth.  This isn't the time."

   "That was a major reason I broke up with you, you know?  It's the way
you say my name like that whenever you disagree with me.  You sound like my
mother."

   "You're acting like a child!  Maybe you need a mother right now!  Are
you going to stay here, in San Francisco, three thousand miles from your
family and friends, out of some sense of dignity or pride?" I said and sat
down beside her.  "Are you going to choose to live in your car instead of
going home where you belong?  Are you going to choose to work as a waitress
for a couple bucks an hour instead of accepting that invitation to go to
William and Mary University to nursing school?  You have had a dream to
become a nurse like your mother as long as I've known you.  It was one of
the first things you told me when we met.  You talked about nothing else
all through high school.  Always, it was: go to nursing school, become an
emergency room nurse, meet a nice guy, buy a big house in the suburbs and
have a couple kids.  Wasn't that your dream?" I was yelling.  It took a few
deep breaths to calm down.  "I don't believe that Annie, not for a minute."
She was crying.  I stood up and made my exit.  Got to love those dramatic
exits.

   Kay was standing by the bathroom door when I left the bedroom.  I closed
the bedroom door before I spoke.  "I assume you heard." I stated.  She
nodded.  "And you think I was a little too hard on her." Kay nodded again.
"I've known her longer than you have Kay.  She's stubborn." I was almost
whispering so Annie wouldn't hear us.  "She will accept the status quo
unless she's pushed to take a different path.  She let some high school
senior have sex with her when she was fourteen because her best friend, a
little slut named Rhonda, had done it.  She had to keep up with the Jones'.
It's just the way she is.  Her mother is the same way," I told her rather
harshly and then pushed past her.

   I didn't understand it then, but today I realize that I resented Kay for
questioning my judgment in that specific circumstance.  I'd known Annie
since the second grade.  Kay had known her for fifteen minutes.  I walked
through the RV ignoring the other girls, entered the cab, pulled the
curtains closed, sat down in the drivers seat and banged on the steering
wheel a few times in frustration.

   It was probably a good thing none of the girls came up to talk to me
over the next hour or so.  It took me that long just to calm down.  When I
went back Kay, Erin and Annie were absent.  I heard Kimmy and Lori
"playing" over my head.  I sat down on the couch and turned on the TV.  Not
much was on so I flipped it to a twenty-four hour news channel and turned
it down as low as I could while still able to hear it.  Erin came out of
the bedroom first.  I looked over at her and she waved me back to the
bedroom.  I muted the TV and followed her back.  Kay and Annie were sitting
on the bed.  I could see that Annie's eyes were still red from crying. 
Erin took a seat on the bed while I leaned against the wall, waiting for
whatever they had called me back there for.  Kay spoke first.

   "Annie and I have been talking," Kay told me with her arm around Annie's
shoulders.  Annie looked up at me with worry in her eyes and face.

   "I assume this has something to do with our earlier discussion?" I asked
Annie.

   "There are some problems with your idea, Jason," Kay informed me.  I
raised my eyebrows questioningly.  "One, what about her car?"

   "She sells it for the money.  She can use it on her way home," I said
simply.

   "Two, what about her job?"

   "She quits.  I have nothing against being a waitress but she can do
better.  She's been accepted to William and Mary University's School of
Nursing.  There's no reason she shouldn't go," I told her.

   "What about her boyfriend?" Erin injected.

   "He dumped her, enough said," I stated unequivocally.  I was irritated
that Erin and Kay had taken her side.  "Put simply she has nothing in San
Francisco to keep her here.  She has no friends, no family and a piss poor
job.  Hell, she doesn't even have an apartment or house to worry about. 
What could she possibly have to stay for?" I asked.

   "What do I have waiting for me back home?" Annie asked quietly.

   "Friends, family, an acceptance letter to a good nursing school, a
future," I answered her.

   "What if my parents won't let me come back?  What if they won't pay for
me to go to school?  They said they wouldn't.  They told me that if I came
to California I was completely and totally cut off.  What then Jason?"
Annie asked

   "You could call and find out," I insisted.  "If they won't let you come
back home, give me a chance.  Maybe my parents will let you stay with them.
At least you won't be living in a car.  As for school, you could always get
some kind of financing.  Maybe you could even get a part time job," I told
her.  "Any other questions?" I asked them.

   "It's still her choice Jason," Kay said.  She stood up and slid past me,
glaring unhappily the entire time.

   "I know," I said almost to myself and followed Kay out of the bedroom.
Kay sat down at the kitchen table.  She was obviously not happy with me and
with my persistence.  I did my best to ignore her glares and went back to
the couch.  I turned up the TV just as Annie came out of the bedroom.

   "Fine!" Annie said as she came towards me.  "I'll call my parents okay?"
she said as she marched through the kitchen and into the living area. 
"Will that make you happy?" she almost yelled at me.

   "That's all I asked," I retorted.  "Have you talked to them since you
left?" I inquired.  She chose to ignore the question, blew past me and went
into the cab.  I turned to Kay and smiled.  She just glared at me.  I stood
up and went forward and slid into the passengers seat as Annie dialed. 
Annie put the phone to her ear, glaring at me the entire time.  She looked
away when someone answered at the other end.

   "Hi Mom," was all she said and then she burst into tears again.  I
reached out and held her hand, trying, by pure force of will to make her
strong enough to do what needed to be done.  I could hear her mother on the
other end asking if she was okay, asking what was wrong.  After a moment
Annie pulled herself together enough to answer.  "Rob left me," Annie said
into the phone.  Annie's mother was a smart woman who had lots of
experience with her daughter, she knew better than to say anything at that
point.  Annie would have taken it as gloating if she had.  "Mom, can I come
home?" I didn't hear the answer but Annie burst into tears again and
dropped the phone.  I grabbed it off the floor and put it to my ear.

   "Mrs.  Sheridan, this is Jason," I said quickly.

   "Jason, what are you doing..." She stopped.

   "Mrs.  Sheridan, Annie isn't doing well.  She's been sleeping in her car
and hasn't been eating right.  She's going to stay with me in my RV tonight
and then I'm going to bring her home," I told her.

   "I'll have her room ready for her," Mrs.  Sheridan responded, I could
tell she was also crying.

   "Thank you," I said quietly.

   "Bring my baby home Jason," she said and hung up quickly.  I took the
phone away from my ear and looked at it for a moment.

   "Cool!" I said with a big smile and hung it up proud of myself.  "She
said yes, Annie." I stood up and hugged her as well as I could.  "Pull
yourself together, we have work to do," I told her quietly and left her
alone.

   I went back and found Kay, Lori, Kimmy and Erin waiting for me and for
news.  They all stared at me.  "We will head east tomorrow, take Erin home
first and then drive south to Virginia.  We should be in New York in four
days and two days later we should be in Virginia," I said with a big smile.

   "Is she going home?" Kay asked.  I nodded.

   "Her mother was thrilled to have her coming back," I said with a huge
grin of pleasure.  I turned just in time to see Annie coming out of the cab
falling into my arms.  I hugged her and kissed her head as she continued to
cry softly.  "Kay, we need to make room for some of Annie's clothes, can we
do it?" I asked.  She just nodded, stood up and headed for the bedroom. 
"Kimmy, make out a list of whatever groceries we need.  We'll go shopping
tomorrow morning before we leave.  Lori, go unhook us.  We're leaving." I
spouted out orders as I continued to hold Annie.

   "Where are we going?" Erin asked.

   "Annie needs a good night's sleep and a washing machine.  We'll check
into a hotel for the night," I informed her and then sat Annie down on the
couch.  She had stopped crying.  "Annie, we need to go clean your car out.
I'll find you a bag to put your clothes and stuff in.  Once everything is
out, we'll take it to a car wash, clean it good and then see if we can find
someone to buy it."

   "I know someone.  One of the cooks at the coffee shop where I work has
offered to buy it before," Annie told me between sniffles.

   "How much?" I asked.

   "He offered two hundred dollars.  It isn't worth much more than that,"
she told me.  I agreed and told her to go call him.  She nodded and went to
the cab.  I followed close behind and slid into the drivers seat.  I pulled
out the traveler's guide and looked for a good cheap motel just outside the
city.  I didn't want to have to fight morning rush hour the next day.  I
told Annie to tell the cook he had to come get the car and he had to pay in
cash as she dialed.  She nodded in understanding.  I found what I thought
would be a good hotel while Annie was on the phone.  Once she was off the
phone, I called and tried to get some reservations.  Meanwhile, Annie went
out and started getting her clothes from her car.  Kay went and helped and
provided an empty suitcase for Annie to stuff her clothes into.

   Less than an hour later, the guy showed up to buy the car.  He looked
the car over quickly, asked no questions and handed Annie the money.  She
gave him the key, signed over the title and he drove off.  I never even
found out his name.  As soon as that was done and everyone was inside the
RV, I checked us out and headed out of the city for our hotel.  I had
arranged reservations at a Regency Inn in Vallejo.  It was about an hour's
drive but it would take us away from the San Francisco traffic.  The hotel
was right on the main highway so it was easy to find.  Kay and Annie stayed
in the bedroom for most of the drive getting Annie's clothes and other
items ready to be washed and stored.  Kimmy came up and sat in the
passengers seat and navigated.

   It was not quite five o'clock when we pulled into the hotel parking lot.
Three of us carried Annie's clothes into the hotel.  The other three
carried our dirty clothes.  Annie had a pretty good-sized wardrobe
considering that she was living in her car.  We all went out and ate at a
nearby restaurant.  Afterwards, Kay and Annie did most of the laundry while
the rest of us lounged around in one of our three hotel rooms.

   When Kay and Annie returned with the newly washed and dried clothes,
they found me laying on a bed with Lori on one side and Kimmy on the other.
Annie and Kay took the clothes to the other bed and started folding them.
"Any ideas on sleeping arrangements yet?" I asked.  Kay and Annie both
looked at each other and then started giggling.  Right then I knew they had
been talking about me while they were doing the laundry.

   "Well, I figure Lori and Kimmy want to sleep together," Kay said and got
immediate confirmation from the two girls lying next to me.  "That gives
them one room to themselves." That seemed logical.

   "After that, it's kind of up for grabs.  Annie, where would you be most
comfortable?" Kay asked.

   "I've been sleeping in my little Honda for the last two weeks, it really
doesn't matter to me where I sleep or with whom," Annie responded.  "Any
bed would be better than what I've had," she said.  I noticed then that
Annie was looking healthier.  Two good meals, a roof over her head and a
little fun was all she needed to perk right back up.  She was still very
skinny though and her face was still drawn, making her brown eyes bulge.

   "Okay, you can sleep in the room with me.  Kay, you don't mind sharing
with Erin for the night do you?" I asked.  Kay was sitting down on the edge
of the other bed, facing away from me.  She didn't seem to have heard.

   "Kay?" I said a little louder.  She jumped and looked back at me.  "You
okay?" I asked seeing the concern on her face.

   "Yeah, I was just thinking.  What did you say?" she asked.

   "I asked if you would mind sharing a room with Erin tonight?" I
repeated.

   "Umm..." was the only response Kay gave.

   "Kay?" Both Kimmy and Lori were now looking at Kay with concern showing
on their faces.

   "Kimmy, can I talk to you for a minute, alone?" Kay asked suddenly.  She
stood up and headed for the door stopping only long enough to take Kimmy's
hand to drag her from the room.  Kimmy glanced backwards with a confused
and worried look on her face.  Kay took Kimmy into the bathroom and slammed
the door.

   "What the hell was that about?" Lori said.

   "I haven't the foggiest idea," I said.  I rolled out of bed, stood up
and circled the bed to help Annie fold clothes.  Kimmy and Kay came out
about fifteen minutes later.  Kay didn't say a word; she immediately left
the room.  Kimmy went over, grabbed Lori's hand and then dragged her out of
the room.  Annie and I watched this in total confusion.

   "What's going on?" Annie asked.

   "I don't know.  Something you should learn about this group, we're a
weird bunch," I told her and smiled.  I joked about it but in the back of
my mind all kinds of thing were going through my head but I had no choice
but to stand there and wonder and fold the clothes.

   "Jason," Annie said after a moment.  "How did you meet them?"

   "That is a very long story," I said.  Annie and I both sat down on the
bed.

   "I've got time," she responded.  "I've figured out some.  You and Kay
are in love.  Kay and Lori are sisters.  Is Kimmy Lori's girlfriend?  That
is my guess.  They are lesbians right?" I started laughing.

   "Let's see, how do I explain this.  Lori is basically a sixteen-year-old
nymphomaniac.  She loves sex.  It doesn't seem to matter to her whether
it's with a guy or a girl."

   "Have you had sex with Lori?" Annie interrupted.

   "At one time or another, I've had sex with all four of them," I told
her. Thinking back, I realize I should have been embarrassed to tell Annie
that.  I wasn't though.  I didn't say it with any pride, I was just stating
a fact but I probably should have been embarrassed.

   "Jason, Lori's only sixteen.  She's jail bait," Annie told me.

   "Yeah," I said, agreeing with her.  "Kimmy is bi sexual but she prefers
women.  She prefers Lori.  But yes, I've had sex with her once or twice," I
confessed.

   "And Erin?" Annie asked.  I didn't realize it at the time, but I wasn't
looking at Annie as I told her all of this.

   "Erin was the first girl I met in my travels.  I met her the day after I
left home.  We slept together the next night.  She vanished the next
morning.  A few weeks later, about two weeks ago, she called and asked me
to come meet her.  I did.  She was in trouble.  She was my first.  She's
never quite fallen in with the rest of us though.  I changed from when I
first picked her up to when we met her again."

   "I think you like sex just as much, if not more, than Lori," Annie
stated.  I couldn't argue with that.  "How many women have you had sex with
since you started this trip?"

   "Erin, Missy, Anita, Lynn, Chrissy, Kay, Kimmy and Lori.  How many is
that?  Seven," I answered.

   "And how many before..."

   "I lost my virginity to Erin two nights after I left home," I told her
staring at the wall.  Annie was befuddled.  She didn't know what to say.

   "What all have you done?" She asked.

   "What do you mean?" I asked, forcing a smile onto my face and glancing
over at her.  I also picked up a pair of panties and folded them.  I had
been neglecting the clothes since we had started talking.

   "I mean have you done anything..." Annie paused.  She was to shy to say
what she wanted to know.

   "Have I done anything kinky with them?" I asked the question for her. 
She nodded.  "What's your definition of kinky?" I asked.

   "Sex in a strange place or in a strange way or sex with more than one
person," was the definition Annie gave.

   "Then yes, to all three," I told her with a smile.

   "Jason!" Annie said, scandalized.  I laughed.

   "You don't approve?" I asked.  She didn't say anything.  "Annie, we're
all young.  Lori is incapable of getting pregnant.  The others are all on
birth control of some sort or another.  None of us have any diseases to my
knowledge.  It's not like we're being totally irresponsible," I said rather
defensively.  "Don't worry," I told her.  "No one's going to force you to
do anything.  If you don't care to join in, that's fine.  We'll take you to
Virginia and drop you off.  I do ask that you not tell my parents what's
going on when you see them.  My father would probably take the RV away and
my mother would never forgive me," I said with a shrug.

   "How long are you going to keep...  ?"

   "Wandering?" I finished the thought for her.  "My parents gave me about
ninety days.  It will give me about a week to get ready to go to college,"
I said.

   "You've been accepted?" she asked with a smile.  I nodded. 
"Congratulations Jason." We started folding clothes again.

   "What does Kay think about you sleeping with all these girls?" She asked
after a few moments of silence.  I took a deep breath and let it out
slowly. "I can tell just from that, that she doesn't approve," Annie said.

   "I don't know," I told her.  "Kay has never objected to the idea
outright.  She of course, had problems with me having sex with Lori at
first, but Kay has never asked me to stop.  In fact, just a few days ago
everyone in the RV was mad at each other for various reasons and I was
pretty close to telling some of them to go away.  I was about to say that I
would only be with Kay from then on but Kay objected.  She wouldn't let me
do it," I told her.  "I don't know why.  I've never asked."

   "Is that why you asked your parents for an RV?" Annie asked.  "So you
could hit the road, pick up loose girls and have sex with them?"

   I laughed at the way Annie phrased the question.  Then I nodded.  "Yeah.
That's about the size of it.  The truth is I had every intention of getting
lost in America and getting laid.  I came out to lose my virginity.  Did I
expect all this?  No.  I expected to meet one, maybe two, girls.  Sleep
with them and then move on.  I never expected to meet a Kayley or an Erin
and fall in love.  I never expected to meet all the girls I have.  I never
expected that each and everyone one of them would be willing to crawl into
bed with me.  Hell, some of them begged me to go to bed with them.  No, I
never expected that," I told her.

   "So, why do you keep bedding them?" Annie asked.

   "It is possible to have sex with one woman, while in love with another."

   "Does Kay know you're in love with her?" Annie asked.  I nodded.  "Is
she in love with you?"

   "She says she is," I told her.  At that moment, there was a rabid
banging on the door.  I stood up and went over and opened the door.  Kimmy
was standing there with a huge smile on her face.

   "I have got to talk to you.  You will not believe what Kay asked me,"
Kimmy said as she pushed me into the room and closed the door.  About that
time, she saw Annie sitting there.  "Uh, let's go in here," Kimmy said and
dragged me into the bathroom.  Once we were both in the bathroom and the
door was closed Kimmy turned to me.  "Jason, you better sit down," Kimmy
said and pushed me back onto the toilet.  "Umm, do you have a problem with
Kay having sex with other people?" Kimmy asked.

   "I won't tell you I love the idea.  But I don't think I have any right
to object.  Why?" I asked scared.

   "You know when Kay dragged me into the bathroom?" I nodded.  It was only
about fifteen minutes ago.  "Do you have any idea what she asked me?" I
shook my head.  "She asked me if Lori and I were monogamous.  Obviously
we're not right?" She smiled.  "I told her we weren't and then she asked if
I would..." She couldn't say it.

   "If you would what, Kimmy?" I asked.

   "Jason." Kimmy kneeled in front of me and looked up at me.  "Kay wants
to sleep with me tonight," Kimmy said quietly.  I wasn't sure what the
point was.

   "So?" I said.

   "Jason, I'm a lesbian!" Kimmy pointed out.  "She doesn't want Lori
there," Kimmy said waiting for my reaction.

   "Are..." I knew what she was getting at but I didn't believe it.  "Wait
a minute!"

   "It's true Jason.  She says she wants to try it," Kimmy said.  I closed
my eyes and tried to put it altogether in my mind.  Kay wanted to have sex
with Kimmy.  What brought that on, I wondered.  It made no sense.  Okay,
maybe it did make sense.  But why would she do it?

   "Jason," Kimmy said and I opened my eyes.  "Is this going to be a
problem for you?" she asked.  I considered the question for a moment.  The
truth is, I didn't want Kay having sex with others but I couldn't really
object all things considered.  And if she was going to have sex with
someone, it would be best, for me anyway, if it was another woman.  And of
all the women, it would be easiest for me to accept if that woman was
Kimmy. Why should I have a problem with it?

   "No, I don't think so," I said.  Kimmy looked at me sideways for a
second.

   "You sure?"

   "Kimmy...  , " I started and then waited and considered what I was about
to say.  "Be good to her and be good for her," I told her and smiled.  She
nodded and we both stood up and hugged.

   "By the way, don't tell her I told you any of this," she said as we left
the bathroom.  "She didn't want you to know." I nodded and Kimmy waved to
Annie and then left the room.

   After that, Annie and I finished folding the clothes; we carried some of
them down to the RV and left the rest for the morning.  We each took a
shower and then climbed into different beds.  I didn't tell Annie any of
what was going on.  She did ask, but I didn't tell.  I lay there that night
wondering what was going on in the other rooms.

   Chapter 35 - Day 38 Monday

   The next day I was up at six.  Annie was still sleeping.  I lay in bed
and tried to picture what had happened in the hotel room next door during
the night.  I knew I would have to find out somehow.  Maybe I would use the
same logic on Kay that she had used on me to find out what had happened
between Kimmy, Lori and I in the hotel room a few nights earlier.  I sat up
in bed and swung my legs over the edge and stood up.  I glanced over at
Annie, but she was still asleep.  I stood up and circled the beds and went
into the bathroom.  I closed the door and flipped on the light and sat on
the edge of the tub.  I couldn't get the thoughts of Kay out of my mind.

   I was actually anxious about the whole thing, curious and anxious.  I
had no idea what to expect.  I almost got up, went over and insisted they
let me in and tell me everything.  I knew I would never get back to sleep
and I knew I couldn't go into the hotel room.  I couldn't wake up Annie and
tell her about my problems.  They were just that, my problems.  There was
nothing wrong with what Kay and Kimmy were doing.  There was no reason,
logically, for me to be upset or object to what they were doing.  Yet,
there I sat, curious, anxious and, upset.

   I sat there for about twenty minutes.  My mind was still a blur when I
came out.  I got myself some clothes, took one more glance at the sleeping
Annie and then went to take a shower.  If nothing else, it would speed
things up when everyone else got up.  After finishing my shower I dried
off, brushed my teeth and my hair and then dressed quickly.  As soon as I
opened the door I heard.  "Don't come out.  Stay in there." It was Annie.

   "Why?" I yelled out to her.

   "I'm getting dressed," she hollered back.  I laughed and waited for a
moment.

   "Okay, you can come out now," Annie yelled.  I came out of the bathroom
as she was pulling a tank top down over her belly.  She had on a pair of
denim cut offs.  "Morning.  Sorry, I didn't think you'd be out that quick,"
Annie said with a smile.

   "No problem," I told her and checked the clock.  It was seven AM.  I
figured Kay would be over in the next ten minutes.  "You hungry?" I asked

   "I don't usually do breakfast," Annie reported as she sat down on the
edge of the bed and started putting on ankle high socks and a pair of deck
shoes.  I sat down on the opposite bed and looked at her.  She suddenly
stopped and looked up at me.  "Would I have enough time to take a shower?"
she asked.

   "Yeah, if you want.  Go for it," I told her.

   "Good," she said and stripped off the one sock she had on.  She stood up
and went over to the overnight bag Kay had given her to use.  "I need to
shave." She grabbed some things from her bag and went into the bathroom.  I
finished putting on my shoes and socks just as there was a knock on the
door.

   "Just a sec," I hollered and went over to the door with one shoe still
untied.  I opened the door and smiled at Kay.  She was standing there in a
bathrobe and I could just make out the nightgown Kimmy had given her
beneath it.  "Good morning," I said and she came in.  We kissed quickly.

   "How long have you been up?" she asked as I shut the door.

   "About thirty minutes," I lied.  "I just couldn't sleep," I told her.  I
wanted information.  "Is Erin up?" I asked her, leading the conversation.

   "Yeah.  I went to her room before I came here," she said as she walked
around the room to the window and looked out into the sunrise.  I stopped
tying my shoe and looked over at her.

   "I thought you were sharing a room with her," I said.  This was going
better than expected.

   "With whom?" Kay asked and turned around.

   "I thought you and Erin were sharing a room," I said.  "Where'd you
sleep?" I asked.

   "Jason, I know Kimmy told you," she said exasperated with my efforts. 
"That girl cannot keep a secret," she said and smiled.

   "Okay then, may I ask what brought on this...  urge?" I inquired.  Kay
started to talk and then stopped.  She sat down next to me and looked at
the floor.

   "Ever since the other day I've been thinking about it." She paused. 
"Since you told me about what happened between you and Kimmy and Lori."

   "How did that do it?" I asked as I tied my other shoe.

   "I don't know." She stood up and paced.  "It just seems that, well, it
seems you enjoyed it.  I..." She didn't finish.  I was still waiting for
her to finish her statement when there was another knock at the door.

   "That's Lori," Kay said.  She went over, opened the door.  "Lori, what
the hell are you doing?" Kay yelled.  I couldn't see Lori, Kay's body was
in the way.  I didn't find out what she was yelling about until Kay grabbed
Lori's arm, pulled her into the hotel room and slammed the door.  What I
saw even shocked me.  Lori was dressed in nothing but the small camisole
and bikini that Kimmy had given her.  "What are you doing wandering out in
the hall dressed like that?  Are you nuts?" Kay yelled.

   "I don't have a bathrobe," Lori answered.  "Anyway, no one saw me. 
Chill!" Lori said and walked away from Kay.  Kay's face was bright red. 
She glared at the young girl and then stormed out of the room, slamming the
door behind her.

   "I guess she didn't get any last night," Lori said once Kay was gone.

   "Lori, it was stupid," I told her.

   "What?  Why?" Lori yelled back at me.

   "Lori, you're half naked.  You don't go out in public like that unless
you're a four year old," I told her.  I went to the door, opened it, looked
up and down the hallway and when I was sure no one was around, I turned
back to Lori.  "Go back to your room.  Take a shower and get dressed.  No
one's out there right now," I ordered and waved her out of the room.

   "Geez.  I just came over to see what happened between Kay and Kimmy last
night," Lori said and walked past me and into the corridor.

   "Well, I don't know a thing about it and I don't think she's going to
tell you when you're acting like this," I told her and watched as she went
across the hall and banged on the door.  A moment later Erin opened the
door.  Erin waved and smiled at me as Lori and she vanished back behind the
hotel room door.  I shut my door and realized I still didn't know much more
than I did before.  I went and sat down on the bed and turned on the TV to
wait while everyone got ready.  There wasn't really anything else for me to
do until then.

   I heard the water go off in the shower and could even hear Annie moving
around in the bathroom.  About five minutes after the water went off, the
door opened and Annie came out.  I didn't pay much attention to it until
out of the corner of my eye I saw her come around the corner and enter the
room.  She immediately jumped, screamed and ran.  All I got was a quick
look at her almost naked body.  Annie's long brown hair was wet and hanging
straight down, the waves and curls gone.  Her tits were still dripping and
she had a towel around her shoulders but not covering her front.  She had a
pair of light blue cotton panties that were already wet from where she
hadn't dried off.  Her long legs were shapely and nice.  She had her clean
clothes in one hand and was still drying herself with the other.

   "I thought you left with Kay," Annie screamed as she ran back into the
bathroom.  I had to fight to stop myself from laughing.

   "I didn't," I announced, that's when I could no longer restrain myself
and the laughter came out.  Annie ran back into the bathroom and slammed
the door.  I was still chuckling when she came back out.  She glared at me
as I fought not to laugh.

   "Shut up okay?" she said as she went to the overnight bag and pulled out
a hairbrush.  "Do you mind?  she asked and sat down on the edge of my bed
and handed me the hairbrush.  I shrugged, took the brush, sat up and
starting at the top of her head, parted her hair and then brushed it out. I
had practice at this believe it or not.  I brushed Jenn's hair when she was
younger.  It had sort of become a bonding thing.  She still occasionally
came to me after she took a shower or bath and asked me to brush her hair,
usually when she wanted to talk to me about something serious.  Of course
Annie knew this.  She had been there a couple times when I was doing Jenn's
hair.  Actually, I rather enjoyed brushing girls' hair.  It seemed weird to
me at the time that I had never brushed Kay, Kimmy or Lori's hair.  I found
brushing Annie's hair right then rather romantic and erotic.  "Jason?"

   "Yeah?" I asked brushing out the left side of her hair.

   "I'm glad you found someone," she said quietly.

   "Thanks," I said and waited for the punch line.

   "Do you brush Kay's hair for her?" she asked.

   "I never have.  No.  Honestly, I was just thinking about that," I told
her.

   "How's Jenn doing anyway?" She asked.

   "She's fine," I said, waiting for Annie to get to the point.

   "Do you still have feelings for me?" she asked.  I stopped brushing and
considered her question for a moment.

   "Annie, I love you," I told her.  "Am I in love with you?  I don't think
so.  I think we've been friends too long," I finished.  She just nodded.  I
went back to brushing her hair and finished without another word.

   "Thanks," Annie said and stood up.  She turned around, bent down and
kissed my cheek.  "I love you too Jason," She said, smiled and walked away.
I wondered what that was all about but let it go.  I got up and started
grabbing up some bags and carried them down to the RV.

   Within an hour everyone was at the RV.  Carrying a variety of bags. 
Annie, Erin and Kay all went back to the bedroom and started finding room
for some of Annie's clothes while Kimmy and I drove through town looking
for a grocery store.  Once we found one, Kimmy took the lead.  Kimmy, Lori
and I went grocery shopping while Erin, Kay and Annie finished putting
Annie's clothes away.  By the time we returned with the groceries Kay and
the others were waiting.  Kimmy started putting the groceries away as I
pulled us out of the parking lot and headed east.  Kay joined me in the cab
shortly after our departure.

   "Hey," I said as she took a seat in the passengers seat.  She pulled the
curtain closed and started looking at a map.

   "How far are you planning to go today?" she asked without looking at me.

   "I'm hoping to make it to Salt Lake tonight.  It's going to be a long
drive.  About ten hours but we got a good early start.  I think we can make
it." Kay just nodded.  I waited a minute but she didn't respond.  "So do
you want to talk?" I asked.  Kay folded the map and shoved it into the
drawer under her seat.

   "I don't know what happened Jace.  I think I was scared," she said
without looking at me.

   "Scared of what?"

   "Losing you," she responded quietly.

   "What would make you think you were losing me?" I asked, sincerely
confused.

   "With all you've been through and with all that has happened with Kimmy,
Lori, and the others, I guess, I thought..." she paused.  "I was afraid you
would get bored with me, that I wasn't exciting enough for you," she said.
I could see the tears rolling down her cheeks.  I didn't respond
immediately, wanting to make sure I didn't say something wrong.

   "Kay, what happened among Lori, Kimmy, Anita, Missy and I was just sex.
It had very little to do with love.  Yes, of course I enjoyed it but it had
no effect on my feelings for you.  I am very much in love with you," I told
her finally.  "Say the word and it won't happen again," I stated
emphatically.  She just nodded.  We stayed quiet for a few minutes, neither
one of us sure of what to say next.

   "I don't want you to stop," she said quietly.  I had to ask her to
repeat it.  "I don't want you to stop..." she hesitated for a second. 
"This is your vacation.  You should be allowed to have fun.  If you still
feel the same way when this is over, we can become monogamous or
whatever... I want you to have fun," she said.

   "Why?" I asked and then expanded on the question.  "Why are you so
willing to let me do all this?  This is the second time I've offered to be
only with you and this is the second time you've told me no.  I understand
that you want me to have fun and I do appreciate that.  But Kay, I can have
fun with the others without necessarily having sex with them.  As for sex,
I can have all the fun I want or need with just you."

   "No!" she yelled and finally looked right at me with tears flowing
freely down her cheeks.  I almost pulled the RV over to the side of the
highway.  I wanted desperately to hold her and get to the bottom of all
this but I knew if I did the others would want to know what was going on.
Also, Kay would object.  As she turned away and cried, I realized it was
the first time I had seen her cry.  It almost brought me to tears.

   "Kay tell me what's going on, please!" I said and reached out and rubbed
her upper arm.  She cried for a few more minutes and then sniffled,
swallowed and turned to me.

   "Jason.  I think it'd be best if we broke up until this trip was over."
I sat in stunned silence.  Barely focusing on the road.  I had to slam on
the brakes to stop from hitting a new VW beetle in front of us after the RV
crept a little to close.  After that, I yanked the curtains aside.

   "Kimmy, get up here!" I yelled back and pulled the RV off to the side of
the road, brought it to a stop and put it in park.  I didn't turn off the
engine.  Kay looked over at me and was about to object, but I held up a
finger to her and unbuckled my seat belt.  Kimmy came running, bent over
and came into the cab.

   "What's going on?" Kimmy said, obviously concerned, as I stood up.

   "Drive," I told her and grabbed Kay's hand.  "Kay and I need to talk," I
insisted.  Kimmy moved aside and I led Kay out of the cab, back through the
living area, past the bathroom and into the bedroom without speaking.  I
slammed the bedroom door once I was sure no one else was in there.  I
pushed Kay onto the bed and stood over her.

   "What the hell is going on?" I yelled at her.  I felt the RV begin to
move as I waited for Kay's answer.  She didn't answer.  I took a deep
breath and calmed myself down.  I kneeled down between her legs and wrapped
my arms around her waist.  "Kay, I need you to talk to me.  Do you love
me?" I asked insistently.  She started crying again, but she nodded in
response to my question.  "Then why do you want to break up?" I asked.  She
wasn't able to answer me.  She leaned forward, wrapped her arms around my
neck and buried her face between my neck and her arm.  I held her for a few
minutes as she cried.  "Kay.  I love you so much.  I don't want to lose
you," I told her softly as I held her.  She stopped crying and lifted her
head and looked me in the eyes.

   "I love you too Jason,"she said, a stray tears rolling down her cheek.
"Very much.  More than you could possibly know.  I really do." I kissed the
stray tear away as it rolled down her chin.

   "Then why?" I asked.

   "Jason, why did you take this trip?" she asked.  The question stumped me
for a second.

   "It was a present from my parents.  For graduation and getting accepted
to college," I told her.

   "No.  Why did you ask for it?" She asked.  Her face only inches from
mine.  I took a deep breath and had to think about the answer for a second.

   "I wanted to get away.  I wanted to be on my own.  I wanted to get
laid," I told her with a laugh.  Kay just nodded at this.  Suddenly it
dawned on me.  "Kay, I don't need to get laid everyday.  I don't need to do
it with every girl I meet.  One girl, especially with someone I love, is
more than enough," I told her.  "I don't need..."

   "Jason.  This is your vacation.  You should be allowed to do what you
want.  You should be allowed to enjoy yourself.  If you want to sleep with
the others, you should.  You should have that chance, just like I should,"
She told me.  She had finally stopped crying.  The thought panicked me for
a moment.  I wasn't sure exactly what she meant.  "Jason, don't get the
wrong idea." She smiled a little.  "I do love you and I will always be here
for you.  But I want you to be sure.  I want you to be absolutely sure,
that you want to be with me.  Remember what I told you when Erin called."

   "Yeah.  You told me to go call her.  That I had to find out if she was
the one," I said, showing that I remembered.  The RV was now back up to
speed.

   "Well, the same kinda thing goes for me.  What better time to find out,"
Kay told me.  She pulled away and wiped her eyes and face.

   "Kay, That'll happen anyways over time.  You don't need to test me," I
told her.  "And you certainly don't need to break up with me."

   "I'm not breaking up with you exactly.  I just don't think we should be
to intense about it," She said.  "I don't want you..." she paused for a
second thinking about what to say, "holding back because of me.  I don't
want you feeling obligated to me.  Do you understand?"

   "Kay, Have I yet?" I asked with a smile.  "I've been wondering over the
last couple days how you were dealing with all this, you know, my sleeping
with and having sex with Lori, Kimmy and Erin.  I don't want it affecting
us.  Is it?"

   "Jay," She smiled and cupped my face in her hands.  "I love you.  No
matter what you do, I will always love you.  I don't expect you to be with
me only.  Not yet, not now.  After this trip is over and we still feel the
same, then we can get serious.  For now, let's just leave things the way
they are.  Okay?" I nodded and was about to let her go but then I
remembered what started this.

   "Now, do you want to tell me what happened last night?" I asked.  Kay
laughed which made me chuckle.

   "The more I thought about it.  The more intriguing it became.  Lori and
Kim love it so much and you seemed to like it.  I just wanted to keep up,"
She said.  "I guess I was feeling a little left out or something.  I was
honestly a little afraid you would decide I was too boring for you or
something." She smiled.

   "Trust me, you're not too boring," I said and kissed her on the lips.

   "I know.  I was just having a moment," she said and gave me a smile. 
She was so beautiful.  I rose up again and kissed her again.  Her arms went
around my neck and I moved closer, pressing my lower half against the bed.
For the first time in almost thirty hours, my cock took notice and started
getting hard.  We stopped kissing and just stared at each other for a
moment.  She smiled, I smiled, and then I rose to my feet, pushed her back
on the bed and climbed on top of her.  I pinned her to the bed with her
arms beside her head and looked down into her beautiful green eyes.

   "I love you," I told her and she smiled big.  "and when we're done,
you're going to tell me what happened in that hotel room last night," I
told her.

   "Dream on lover." She smiled and I lowered my weight onto her and kissed
her again, pushing my tongue into her warm mouth as our arms went around
each other.

   I rolled off of her as we kissed and I lay on my side beside her.  Still
kissing her, my hand slid under her shirt and rubbed her soft belly.  I
could feel her fingers working at the bottom of my shirt to free it from my
shorts.  Once freed, Kay pulled my shirt up as I pulled up her top.  We
pulled them up as far as possible and then returned to our kissing.  I
cupped her left breast in my hand and rubbed over the nipple with my thumb.
Our bodies pressed together and I could feel her soft warm skin against my
torso.  My cock was hard as a rock and desperate to be freed from my
shorts. I pulled away, sat up and stripped off my shirt completely.  Kay
followed my lead as she sat up and stripped off her shirt and bra.

   We got up on the bed so our heads were on the pillows, rolled back into
each other's arms and then found each others lips.  Kay's large breasts
were squeezed between us.  My right hand grabbed her ass and pulled her
closer.  She kicked off her tennis shoes as I did the same.  Our legs were
intertwined like a group of snakes in a mating ball as our toes were
playing together.  We tried as hard as we could to pull each other closer.
After a few moments, I could no longer stand it, I released her ass and
slid my hand between us and unbuttoned and unzipped my shorts.  My cock had
to have room.  My shorts were feeling about two sizes too small because of
the bulge.  Once that was done I returned my full attention to my beautiful
redhead.  I slid my hand along her hipbone, back to her ass, into the
elastic waistband of her jogging shorts and then into her panties.  I found
her firm naked ass and squeezed the cheeks hard.  My fingers were almost in
the crack of her ass.

   Kay pulled away, rolled on top of me, sat up and looked down at me
smiling.  "Tell me what you want," she said sliding her hands over my chest
and across my stomach.  My eyes traveled down her body starting at her
curly thick orange hair, down her freckle covered face, past her big green
eyes and pink pouting lips.  They continued across her smooth shoulders,
over her large breasts and erect pink nipples and down her belly to the
waistband of her shorts.

   "I want to rip those shorts off of you, get between your legs and eat
you until you scream and beg me to fuck you.  I want to shove my cock down
your throat and I want you to swallow my cum.  Then, I want you on all
fours so I can fuck you as hard and as fast as possible," I told her.  I
wasn't even thinking anymore.  My emotions were controlling me.  Her eyes,
her voice, the hum and the gentle rocking of the RV had hypnotized me.  She
was all I could think about.  She smiled at me and kept rubbing my chest
and stomach as she ground her hips against my hard cock.  I was forced to
close my eyes from the sheer joy of it.  I almost came right then.  She
smiled at me again and raised her arms over her head.

   "That sounds wonderful," she said with a big smile.  She was still
rubbing her crotch against my throbbing cock and running her fingertips up
and down my torso.  I couldn't fight it anymore and exploded, shooting my
load into my briefs.  I grabbed her thighs and moaned as it came over me.
"Oh, dear, that doesn't sound good." she said with a smile as she bent down
and kissed me.  I was breathing hard and I couldn't think straight.

   She kissed my lips, then my chin, then my neck and down onto my chest.
She kissed each of my nipples, running her hands over my chest as she did
so.  Then she slid down between my legs and pulled my briefs down to expose
the gooey white mess on my briefs and my stomach.

   "Oh dear, this isn't good." She used two fingers and gently moved my
still hard cock out of the way and licked the cum from my stomach.  She
then slid the tip of my cock into her mouth and gently sucked it as she
rubbed it up and down with her hands.  I could feel the pressure starting
to build up again as she fought to maintain my hard on.  Once my cock was
standing hard and straight again she let go of it and rolled off the bed. I
watched as she pulled her shorts and bikini down and allowed them to drop
on the floor.  She then climbed onto the bed again and pulled my briefs and
shorts down my legs.  Now, we were both completely naked.

   There was a knock at the door but neither of us paid it any attention as
Kay straddled me and lowered herself down as she used her hands and lined
up my cock with her entrance and impaled herself.  "Oh god!" She moaned as
she slid down.  My hands ran up her thighs to her hips and she began riding
me slowly.  I heard the door open but paid very little attention to it, I
was too lost in my emotions and lust.  Kay's cunt was tighter than I
remembered and it was so wet and warm and felt so good, for a second I
thought I would cum again right then.  I grabbed Kay's arms and pulled her
down on top of me.  Our lips met and I kissed her hard.  Forcing my tongue
into her mouth.  I used all of my might to roll us over.

   Kay wound up on her back with me deep inside her.  I raised my hips and
plowed into her completely.  I held it there for a moment and then did it
again.  Each time I did, Kay grunted.  Over and over I plunged into her
hard.  I lifted my upper body off of her and lowered my head and found one
nipple and sucked it into my mouth.  Kay groaned and ran her hands through
my hair as I continued pounding her with my cock.  I moved from one nipple
to the other and then back to her lips.  My balls were slapping her ass
with each thrust.  Her legs wrapped around my waist and tried to keep me
inside her but to no avail.  I forced my hips up and slammed into her
again. Kay screamed and pulled at my hair as she climaxed.  Her screams
drove me higher and I began to slam into her even harder and even faster
desperate to release all the emotions and lust building up inside me. 
Finally, with one last thrust I slammed into her, stopped, jerked once,
again and then shot four huge loads deep into her belly.  At the same time,
she screamed from another orgasm.  I collapsed on top of her.  My eyes
closed and my breathing became ragged.  I was asleep in seconds.

   When I woke up, my cock was hard again and I found myself adhered to
Kay's back.  My hard cock was pressed against her ass.  I stayed still long
enough to make sure she was breathing and then rolled onto my back I stared
up at the ceiling for a moment as flashes of what had happened went through
my mind.  I realized the RV was still moving and quickly wondered if Kimmy
was still driving.  I remembered the knock at the bedroom door.  I looked
up but no one was there.  I wondered for a moment if it had been in my
imagination.  I looked over at Kay's red hair and smiled.  I rolled onto my
side again, pressed myself against her like before, wrapped my arm around
her, cupped one of her breasts in my hand, fondled it and faded off to
sleep again, way too comfortable and relaxed to move or get up.

   The very next thing I remembered was Kay shaking me awake.  "Jason, come
on.  Wake up," she yelled at me.  I opened my eyes and looked into her
beautiful face and smiled.

   "Hiya beautiful," I said.

   "Hi," she said and her face lit up.  "You need to get up.  We've slept
for almost four hours," she informed me.  I stretched and sat up.  She was
sitting beside me, still naked.  I looked her over.

   "Damn, you are beautiful," I said.  She blushed again and stood up.

   "I'd love to spend all day letting you prove that, but Lori say's Kimmy
is getting tired of driving," Kay replied and walked around the bed picking
up our clothes.  Except for my briefs she tossed all of my clothes to me
and then she got dressed.  I dragged myself out of bed and pulled out a new
pair of briefs and slid them on.  Kay slid on her bikini and shorts and
then pulled a T-shirt on over her head and left the room.  I finished
dressing and exited the bedroom.  Everyone but Kay and Kimmy were sitting
in the living room.  I said hi to them and got a chorus of hi's back.  I
then went on up to the cab.  Kimmy was in the drivers seat and Kay was in
the passengers seat.

   "Hey.  I hear you're getting tired," I said to Kimmy.  "All this time
you've been begging me to let you drive and now you get your big chance and
you don't want to.  Why don't you just pull over at the next city and we'll
find someplace to eat and then I'll take the wheel," I told Kimmy.

   "There's not much out here," Kimmy said.  I looked out the front window
and saw what she meant.  Nothing but desert all around.

   "Wow!" Was all I said.

   "There's a city called Battle Mountain.  It's the largest city I see
between here and the Nevada border," Kay informed us.

   "If you want to, go ahead and pull over.  I'll take the wheel," I told
Kimmy.  Kimmy checked behind us and then pulled the RV over and brought it
to a stop.  I stepped back and Kimmy unbuckled her seat belt and came out.
I then took her place in the drivers seat, buckled up and put the RV back
in drive and stepped on the gas.  It felt kind of good to be back behind
the wheel.  Kay stayed in the passengers seat.  Once we were going again,
she folded up the map and stuffed back under the seat.  She then reached
behind her and closed the curtain that separated the cab from the rest of
the RV.

   "How much further is it to Battle Mountain?" I asked.

   "I have no idea.  There are no landmarks.  I'm not sure exactly where we
are," Kay reported.  I nodded in understanding and anxious to get to our
destination I stepped on the gas a little harder to bring the RV up to
eighty miles an hour, to get out of this desert.  It was kind of strange
going, driving through the desert with no one or nothing else around.  I
didn't see another car on the road in front or behind us.

   "You didn't get the chance to ask the question," Kay said out of
nowhere.

   "What question is that?" I asked.

   "You remember what you said when you pinned me to the bed?" She asked.
"About Kimmy and I?" She smiled and I did remember.

   "Oh yeah," I said and smiled over at her.  "So are you willing to talk?"
I asked.  Kay just shrugged and blushed.  "Are you at least willing to tell
me if anything happened?" I asked figuring I could whittle away at her
until I found out what I really wanted to know.  She just shrugged again.
"I'll take that as a yes.  If nothing had happened you'd be more than
willing to volunteer that information." She smiled and blushed a little
more.  "The red face tells the story."

   "Oh God," Kay said and pulled down the visor and looked at herself in
the vanity mirror.  "I'm as red as a damn tomato," she cried.  I had to
laugh at her.

   "So did you enjoy it?" I asked turning back to watch the road.

   "Yes," she whispered and put the visor back up.  She turned and looked
out the window.

   "Why are you so embarrassed?  It's nothing to be embarrassed about," I
told her.

   "It's just strange.  You know?" Kay said without looking at me.

   "Yeah, I know how that goes," I said.  "So do you think you can give me
some details?" I asked.

   "Jason!" Kay said, her head snapping around to glare at me.

   "What?" I said acting surprised that she was upset about the question.
"I gave you details of what happened with Kimmy and Lori," I reminded her.
"But if you don't want to..." I let the rest go.

   "Okay, you're right.  You did.  I guess I kind of owe it to you.  But
it's so damn embarrassing," Kay admitted reluctantly.

   "I don't need gory details.  Just a basic outline will do," I said. 
"And like I said, if you don't want to..."

   "We each took a shower," She said and turned to look out the side
window. "Then we got into bed together and..." she stopped.  "I can't do
this Jason.  I'm sorry," Kay said and started unbuckling her seat belt to
get up.

   "You don't need to leave," I said and reached over and placed my hand on
her arm.  "I won't push it," I told her.

   "I'll come back in a bit," She told me.  She then got up, leaned over
and kissed my cheek, pushed the curtain aside and left the cab.  I turned
back to the road and was about to turn on the radio when Kimmy pushed her
way into the cab and took the passengers seat.  She pulled the curtains
closed once she was seated.

   "Hey, I hear you want to hear some gossip?" She said as she sat down.

   "Excuse me?" I said, not sure what she was talking about.

   "Kay came back and told me that you wanted to know what happened between
us last night," she said and looked at me waiting for acknowledgment.  Then
I understood.  Kay couldn't tell me herself out of embarrassment.  But she
did think I had a right to know or something like that.  So she had gone
back and told Kimmy, who never gets embarrassed, to come up and tell me.  I
almost laughed at the idea.  I nodded.

   "Yeah.  I asked her.  She was too embarrassed to talk about it though. I
guess she sent you up here to tell me since she couldn't," I informed
Kimmy.

   "Okay, so do you want me to tell?" Kimmy asked.

   "I really want to know but I feel like a real weasel for asking," I
said. "Go ahead."

   "Well, we went into the hotel room and Kay instantly stated that she
needed a shower.  At first I wondered if she was feeling dirty for what she
was thinking about doing.  But she went in and took a shower.  After she
was finished, I went in and took a shower.  When I came out, she was
dressed in the nightgown I had given her.  She looked great.  You really
should get her to put it on for you," Kimmy told me.  I nodded, thinking
the same thing.

   "Anyway, I wasn't sure what she wanted me to do.  I didn't want to push
too hard and scare her off, so I just went over and lay down next to her
and we watched some TV.  All of a sudden, during a commercial, she looked
at me and just thanked me.  I asked her what she was thanking me for and
she said it was for not pushing her into anything.  I told her she was my
best friend and that I wasn't going to pressure her into anything.  It was
completely up to her if we did something or if we did not do anything.  I
even said that if she wanted I would lie for her and make up this
incredibly detailed story about the kinky things we did even if we didn't
kiss.  She laughed and said she appreciated it and then reached up and
turned off the light.  Then she turned off the TV.  I think she wanted it
to be completely dark that way she could imagine I was you or something. 
We got under the covers and she asked me to touch her.  You would not
believe how long I've been waiting to hear her say that.  So I rolled onto
my side, scooted over close to her and started rubbing her stomach.  I'm
absolutely sure her eyes were closed.  I kissed her cheek a few times and
then I tried to kiss her lips.  She kissed me back.  Her lips are so soft,"
Kimmy said, her head laid back against the seat with her eyes closed as she
remembered the night.

   "I know," I agreed softly.

   "She kissed me back so I kissed her again.  This time it wasn't a
friendly kiss.  I kissed her harder and slid my hand up to her chest.  I
rubbed her breasts and could feel her nipples grow.  It was incredible.  I
could feel her relaxing as I kept going.  Then she surprised me and pushed
her tongue into my mouth.  I let her in and let her explore a little.  One
of her arms went around my waist and she pulled me closer.  She felt so
good.  I used my hand and unbuttoned the three top buttons of her nightgown
and slid my hands inside.  I rubbed the valley between her breasts and she
moaned, so I slid my hand over the top of her bare breasts and rubbed.  She
rolled onto her side and we kissed some more.  As we were kissing I pulled
her nightgown up.  I couldn't believe she hadn't worn panties.  But she
hadn't.  I rubbed her ass and she started rubbing mine.  I had panties and
a night shirt on," Kimmy continued.  "We kissed and rubbed each other for a
long time.  Lori can't stand to just lay there and touch and kiss.  She
always gets worked up quickly." Kimmy opened her eyes and looked over at
me. "I guess you know that though, don't you?" She smiled and I nodded.

   "After a while we stopped and just lay there together.  We talked a
little.  She even asked about what Lori and I do.  After ten or fifteen
minutes, she sat up and stripped off her nightgown and asked me to do the
same.  I did.  I took off my nightshirt and panties and we lay back down.
Then we started kissing again.  This time though she was on her back so I
could rub her all over.  I ran my hands all over her.  She felt so good;
she had such soft skin.

   After a while, I think she was lost in the moment.  I got on top of her
and started sucking her nipples and rubbing her breasts.  She laid there
and rubbed my back and my head.  I worked my way down her stomach and got
between her legs.  I could smell her.  I wanted her so much so I just dove
in.  When I first slid my tongue in I think she was surprised.  She almost
sat up; she was gasping.  I don't know whether it was because it felt good
or it was from shock, but after a minute she stopped and lay there.  I
worked hard to get her going but I just couldn't get her to moan.  I was
rubbing her thighs and I could feel her relaxing so I just kept going
hoping that she'd get into it.  She did.  Oh boy, did she ever.  After
about five minutes she started to moan and enjoy it.  I could feel her
getting wetter.  She tasted even better than I thought she would.  After a
while though, she was begging for more so I swung around and straddled her
head," Kimmy continued.

   "I kept doing her.  I didn't really expect her to eat me, but I figured
I'd give her the chance.  It took a few minutes but then she started
rubbing me.  Soon, I felt her fingers spread my lips and finally she slid a
finger inside.  She started fingering me like a machine gun.  I was going
crazy.  She wasn't very far behind me.  Ten minutes after I started, she
was screaming.  After two orgasms she slid her tongue over my clit.  From
then on, it was pure heaven.  I guess that I spent about thirty or forty
minutes between her legs.  She ate me for about the last fifteen or twenty
of that.  It was incredible.  The girl is a natural," Kimmy reported.  "We
were both worn out, so we curled up together, she couldn't stop giggling
but eventually we went to sleep.  That's the whole story." Kimmy finished
with a shrug and looked over at me.  I just nodded.

   "I'm glad you both enjoyed it," I said with a smile.

   "Looks like you would've enjoyed it too," Kimmy said looking down at the
bulge in my shorts.  I laughed and she got up and left.  "I was told to go
back and let her know when I finished," Kimmy reported as she was leaving.
I looked at my watch as Kimmy left.  It was almost three in the afternoon.

   Kay came up with a plate of sandwiches a few minutes later.  I ate as I
drove.  I hadn't realized how late it was or how hungry I was until she
waved the sandwiches in front of me.  I had missed lunch while I was in bed
with Kay.  Kay asked what Kimmy told me.  I told her Kimmy had said that
she had really enjoyed herself.  That she thought Kay had enjoyed it and
that she thought Kay was a very beautiful woman who was wonderful in bed.
Kay seemed satisfied with that.  We sat there and talked for about another
forty-five minutes.  I was exhausted from the day.  Driving through the
empty desert was tiring.  I saw a sign for a city called Elko, Nevada and
turned off the road and headed for it.

   "Where we going?" Kay asked as I made the turn.

   "I'm tired.  We're about four hours shy of Salt Lake.  We'll make it up
tomorrow or the next day," I said.  "Why don't you see if you can find us
an RV park here in Elko?" I asked.  Kay pulled out the travel book and
started looking.  Kay easily found us a park.  It was even on the same
street I had turned onto.  We followed it until we found the park and
pulled in.  Kay went in to the office, checked us in and then came back.  I
pulled us into the spot and turned off the engine.  Kay and I went back. 
"We're staying here for the night," I announced to the others and flopped
down on the couch.  Lori was on her feet and outside before anyone could
say anything.

   "Where's she going?" Annie asked from the table.

   "She's going out to plug us in," Kimmy told her.  "That way we can have
water, electricity and cable TV," Annie nodded.

   "What have you all been up to?" I asked as Kay came over holding a Dr.
Pepper.  She handed it to me and then sat down beside me.

   "Jason, is this going to slow us down?" Erin asked from the love seat
across the aisle.  She had apparently been reading, because she had a book
in her hand.

   "Not by much," I told her.  "We're only about four hours west of Salt
Lake.  I think we can make it up." She nodded and went back to her book.

   "When do you think we can be in Virginia?" Annie asked.

   "Six days, maybe seven," I told her.

   "Can I talk to you for a minute, alone?" Annie asked shyly.  I looked at
her, trying to read her mind and figure out what she wanted to talk about.
When I failed I stood up and followed her back to the bedroom.  Once the
bedroom door was closed and we were alone she sat on the bed and looked at
me.

   "What's up?" I asked.

   "I was..." she stopped and looked away.

   "What is it?" I asked sympathetically.

   "When you and Kay were in here earlier..." she started.  I sat down
beside her.

   "What about it?  Did something happen?  Did someone say something?" I
asked, mostly concerned about Lori.

   "No, nothing like that," Annie said quickly.  "While you were back here
I went up and sat with Kimmy for a while.  She asked me to come back and
ask you something.  Something about...  I don't even remember."

   "Oh shit!" I said.  "You came back didn't you?" She nodded.  "I remember
hearing a knock at the door.  I even remember hearing the door open and I
remember ignoring it.  I'm sorry Annie." I wrapped my arm around her
shoulders.  "I don't worry too much about the others walking in anymore. 
Guess Kay doesn't either.  I'm sorry."

   "I'm not worried about what you and she were doing.  I've seen people
having sex before.  Yeah, It was a little strange watching you have sex
with someone but...  It was even weirder seeing you naked."

   "Guess we're even for this morning then," I said and chuckled.

   "I guess," she said and smiled.

   "So what's the problem?" I asked.

   "I don't know.  This whole thing feels weird," Annie told me.  I started
to ask a question but stopped myself.  Instead I sat there and waited for
her to continue.  "I can't even really describe it.  I guess I kind of feel
like a fifth wheel or something," She said.

   "Annie, you can't expect to fit in right away.  Talk to Erin about that,
she might be able to help," I told her.

   "I know why I feel like this and I know how to fix it.  I'm just not
sure if I should," Annie said looking at me.

   "What do you mean?" I asked confused.

   "Jay, it's because of you," she told me.  I was stunned.  "Not you
personally Jay.  It's because I'm the only one here who..." The realization
came over me at that moment.

   "Because you're the only one who hasn't slept with me?" I finished.  She
nodded.  "Well, yeah, I see what you mean.  The answer is rather obvious
isn't it?" I laughed, she didn't.

   "Jay, I love you.  I really do, but not like that," Annie said and
looked away.

   "I know that Annie," I said.  "We could lie," I said and smiled at her.
"You spend the night in here with me and we make up a story.  The others
would never know," I said taking a note from Kimmy's playbook.

   "I would, It's me Jason, not them.  This is all in my mind.  No one out
there has treated me bad or anything.  I've spent a good portion of the day
with Kim and Erin.  They're both great.  They've told me about some of your
adventures and stuff.  I actually like them and from what they've told me
about Kay, she sounds perfect for you.  Lori keeps giving me dirty looks
but Erin said she did the same thing to her when she re-joined you." I
nodded at this.  "But even Lori has been pretty friendly to me.  I think
she's scared of you or Kay."

   "It's Kay," I said with a smile.

   "It's not a problem with them Jay.  It's me," she concluded.

   "Any acceptable ideas on how to fix it?" I asked.

   "No.  Except to hurry this trip up and get home," She said sadly.  She
turned into my arms and we hugged.  I hated seeing my friend upset but as
she said, there wasn't a whole lot I, or anyone else, could for her.  After
a moment of hugging, we stood up and hand in hand, returned to the living
room with the others.  Lori and Kimmy came running over to us and met us
just past the bathroom.

   "We want to go shopping," they announced in unison.

   "That's nice," I told them sarcastically.  "What does that have to do
with me?"

   "You've got the only motorized vehicle," Kimmy said with a happy note.

   "And where do you want to go shopping?" I asked them.

   "It's not just us.  It's all of us," Kimmy said and waved at the others
watching from the kitchen.  Kay and Erin each nodded in agreement.  "This
is a mutiny.  Take us shopping or we will kick you out, steal your RV and
leave you here in the middle of the Nevada desert to starve, die and be
eaten by the vultures..." Kimmy smiled at me, turned around and rejoined
the others...  Lori stuck her nose up in air and then followed suit.  I
looked at Annie for a second, she shrugged and walked away and joined the
girls.

   "Oh great.  My girlfriend, her sister, her lover and my oldest friend
all turn on me at once.  How nice.  Okay, so where are we going?" I asked.
They all cheered.  Kay was about to send Lori out to find a phone book or
something, some way to find a shopping center when Annie had a better idea.

   "I've got a phone book," she announced.  Everyone went quiet and looked
at her.  She smiled and went back to the bedroom.  Kay seemed to figure it
out.  The rest of us stood there waiting.  When Annie returned she had an
IBM laptop in a black leather case slung over her shoulder.

   "May I use the cell phone?" Annie asked with a smile.  I shrugged and
she headed for the cab.  I knew Annie was into computers.  Even before she
moved to California, she had been, but I'd never seen anyone work one like
she did.

   She slid into the passenger's seat, the rest of us crowded in behind
her. She pulled the laptop out and set it on her lap.  She then pulled out
what looked like a phone cord.  She plugged one end into the back of the
computer and the other end into my cell phone.  "What's the number here?"
She asked and I gave her the cell phone number.  She opened up the laptop,
flipped the power switch and waited as the screen lit up.  She clicked on
one icon and a menu came up.  She never looked down at the keys.  Her eyes
stayed glued on the screen as she typed, filling in or deleting things from
the boxes on the menu that had come up.  She then closed that opened an
Internet connection box.  She clicked on "properties" and quickly typed in
the cell phone number and found a local access number and then logged on.
"There we go," she said and waited for the computer to finish connecting.

   Once connected a Netscape program opened and she typed in a URL and went
right to a web site called "Citysearch.com." She typed in Elko, Nevada and
waited as a new page loaded.  All of this was accomplished in less than
four minutes.  She clicked on a link labeled yellow pages and up came a
list of, as far as I could tell, every single business in the city of Elko.
She scrolled down to a link labeled shopping and started reading off the
different kinds of shops that were listed from antiques to video and game
rental.  Everyone focused on the department stores.  We figured by going
there, everyone could shop for whatever it was they wanted.  We were left
with a choice of Bloomingdales, Penny's, Sears or Wal-Mart.

   I made the final choice, J.C.  Penny's, because it was the easiest to
find and it was on the same street as our RV park.  Annie then quickly
asked it for directions, entered the address of the RV park, got us
directions and an estimated time of arrival.  The store was two minutes
away.  I climbed into the drivers seat while Lori unplugged us and off we
went with Annie navigating.  "Good thing I paid my Internet bill last
month. I will probably be cut off here in a few weeks for non-payment.  Oh
well, Let Tony worry about that.  He'll get the bill," She said and smiled
devilishly.

   We arrived at the store, Annie put her computer away and we locked up
the RV and started the long walk across the parking lot.  I had parked us
at the very back of the lot so no one would mind that we were taking up
four spaces.  We stopped at the front door and made plans to meet in one
hour's time in the same spot.  Kimmy and Lori were the first one's to
leave. Hand in hand they ran off to look for something; they wouldn't tell
us what.

   The rest of us stayed together and decided to make an exploratory lap
around the store.  Erin dropped back to look at sweaters and never showed
up again until it was time to meet at the door.  That left me, Kay and
Annie.  I had my right arm around Kay's shoulders and was holding hands
with Annie on my left side.  It goes without saying that I got some
interesting looks as we wandered the store.  Annie used some of her money
to buy two pieces of luggage: an overnight bag and an actual suitcase, both
black with tan trim.

   Kay had us stop at the lingerie' department only long enough to buy half
a dozen pairs of cotton panties in a variety of colors.  We made a stop at
the shoe department where I bought a pair of running shoes and Annie bought
a pair of black boots.  Granted, she looked great in them, but they cost
$45.00 and she only started with $200.00.  Kay saw a pair of high heels she
desperately wanted but refused to pay the money for them.  We shoved all of
our packages into Annie's overnight bag and continued on.  We caught a
quick glimpse of Lori and Kimmy but as soon as they saw us they took off in
the opposite direction.  "Are they always like that?" Annie asked as she
watched the two girls bolt.

   "They're a bad influence on each other.  Lori's still young and Kimmy
loves to play.  Between them, they tend to act like a couple nine year olds
when they're together," Kay explained.  Annie laughed.  Kay just rolled her
eyes.  I did my best to do nothing, slightly afraid of Kay's reaction.

   Ten minutes later we were heading for the door when Erin rejoined us
with a large bag of goodies.  The four of us stood at the door for another
ten minutes waiting for Kimmy and Lori.  When they showed up they were each
carrying a bag but would not tell anyone what they had bought.

   Kay tried to get Lori to talk as we made the hike back to the RV.  "Not
until the right time," Lori insisted.  I unlocked the door and everyone
piled in.  I got in and drove back to the RV park while the girls put away
their goodies.  Kay and Annie also shoved and overstuffed Annie's new
suitcase with her unneeded clothes.  When we got back to the RV park, the
luggage was positioned at the door waiting for me to put it away.  I went
out to the bins under the RV while Lori hooked us up again.  I was
disappointed when I realized there just was not any more room left down
there.  For just a second, I wished Erin were already gone, that would
empty out some space.  I quickly kicked myself for the thought.  I got some
ties out of one of the cabinets and then hauled the suitcase to the top of
the RV and tied it to the rack.  Kay had gotten pretty good at this
traveling light gig.

   When I came back inside, Kimmy and Annie were cooking dinner while the
rest lounged around on the couch or at the kitchen table.  I glanced at my
watch and discovered that it was nearly 6:30 PM.  I flopped down on the
couch between Lori and Kay.  "Alright.  Tradition holds," Kay announced to
all in the RV.  "When someone new joins the group there must be a game," I
groaned, Lori cheered, Kimmy smiled, Erin's face dropped and Annie looked
just plain scared at this proclamation.  "So," Kay continued happily.  "By
7:30 PM, EVERYONE," She emphasized the word everyone and glared at Annie
and then Erin in turn.  "Must be ready to play a game of strip Jeopardy. 
Any comments, complaints or compliments should be taken up with your priest
because I do not want to hear them.  There will be no abstaining from this
event.  Any questions?" Kay asked looking straight at Annie.  Annie
swallowed hard and then spoke up.
"How do you play?" she asked cautiously.  Kay smiled and pointed right

at Annie.

   "Very good.  Exactly the question I was expecting," Kay said in the
voice of a carnival barker.  She then turned to me.  "Do you want to
explain it or should I?" I didn't say a word.  I just waved at her. 
"Fine," Kay said and turned back to Annie who went over to the love seat
and sat down across from Kay.  "It's very simple really.  Have you ever
watched the TV game show called "Jeopardy?" Annie nodded.

   "Good.  Now there is no stripping during the game.  That doesn't come
until afterwards.  The idea is, that for each question you answer correctly
during the first round, you get one point.  If two people answer at the
same time, both get the point.  During double Jeopardy, each answer you get
correct gives you two points.  Again, if there's a tie, all get the point."
Annie was nodding to show she understood.  "If you get the Final Jeopardy
question correct, you get three points.  Again, if there is a tie, all who
tied get the points.  At the end of the game, scores are added up.  The
winner loses no clothes.  If there is a tie, then none of the winners lose
clothing.  But, those who don't win must take off one article of clothing
for every point that they are behind the winner.  So if the winner has
seventeen points and you have nine points, you must remove eight articles
of clothing or as many as possible.  There is no going into the bedroom and
putting on more clothes before the game.  That's cheating.  All losers must
remain without those clothes until tomorrow morning unless it is
unanimously decided otherwise.  In other words, if we all decide to go
somewhere tonight, you'll be allowed to put your clothes back on.  Any
other questions?" Kay answered, still smiling.  Erin had her face buried in
her hands, horrified at the idea that she would have to go through this
again.  I understood her anxiety.  She had a bad first experience with the
game but there wasn't really anything I could do about it.  I sat there and
waited for Annie's response.

   "Sounds simple enough.  I'll be there," was all Annie said.  She then
stood up and went back to help Kimmy.  I stared after her for a moment,
wondering about her reaction.  Annie was the same girl who was scandalized
by the idea of me sleeping with all these different girls.  She was one of
the most conservative teenagers I had ever met.  Yet, now she was going to
go along with a game of Strip Jeopardy her second night in the RV. 
Something seemed wrong there.  Then I remembered our discussion just before
our shopping trip and wondered if she was trying to "fit in".  It made
sense.  At that moment, I couldn't ask so I let it go.

   Kimmy and Annie served dinner; some of us were forced to eat away from
the table because there just wasn't any more room.  Erin, Lori, Annie and
Kay took the table.  Kimmy sat in her standard spot, on top of a kitchen
cabinet across the aisle from the table and I sat on the couch.  There was
no other place left.  We ate and talked and had some fun.  Annie told
everyone about her time and experiences in San Francisco.  I hadn't heard
most of the stories.  Eating was becoming quite an event with six people
now living in the RV.  After we all finished eating, Annie, Kay and Lori
did the dishes and I put the cleaned dishes away.  We were all gathered
around the TV waiting for the show to start by 7:25 PM.  Kay was ecstatic.

   In order to save time and my keyboard, I will just tell you the outcome
of the game instead of taking you through it question by question.  It
worked out like this: I started with four pieces of clothing and Kay
started with five articles.  Erin started with five and Annie started with
six because she had socks on.  None of the rest of us did.  Kimmy had on
four since she wasn't wearing a bra and little Lori had on three as she
wasn't wearing shoes or a bra.  She tried to slip on some sandals but Kay
made it very clear you had to be dressed exactly as you were when the game
was announced.  Lori was in the bad habit of taking off her shoes as soon
as she was inside the RV.  Shoes counted as one item as did socks.  Jewelry
was not counted.

   At the end of round one, it was a three-way tie between Annie, Kimmy and
myself.  Kay was three points behind us and Kimmy was four points behind
Kay.  Lori, as usual, was well behind.  She was sixteen points behind the
leaders.

   Things had changed by the end of double Jeopardy.  Annie had pulled
ahead with almost thirty points.  Kay and I were tied for second, only two
points behind Annie.  Kimmy had made quite a comeback and was only a point
behind Kay and I.  Erin had all but given up when she fell twenty points
behind Annie and was loosing ground fast since she wasn't even trying and
Lori had managed to gain, catch and then pass Erin.  Lori was now two
points ahead of Erin.  Not that it mattered, both were so far behind that
they would lose every article of clothing they had on even if they got the
answer to final Jeopardy and everyone else missed it.  Lori understood this
and stripped during the commercial before Final Jeopardy.  Erin refused to
join her in this endeavor, but not for lack of trying on Lori's part.  I
think I saw Annie blush a little when Lori removed the last of her clothes.

   In a surprise ending, Kay got the final question correct.  Annie and I
both missed it and Kay won beating me by three points and Annie by one
point.  Kimmy didn't even have a guess and lost to Kay by four points
leaving her naked.  She was the first one up and quickly stripped off her
shirt, shorts, panties and shoes and then sat down on the love seat where
the naked Lori quickly joined her.  The two snuggled up together and sat
back to watch the show.  Annie simply slipped off her shoes and was
satisfied with her performance although she was irked at herself for not
getting the final question.  I was next on the strip parade and removed
everything but my briefs.  That left only Erin.  I could see in her eyes
that she wanted to protest, that she really didn't want to do this.  She
was a smart girl, I don't think she expected to loose by as much as she
did. I don't think she would have had a problem removing one or two
articles of clothing, but to have to go naked bothered her to no end. 
Wisely, she chose the better part of valor and quietly, without a word
spoken, stood up and removed her clothes.

   All of our lost clothes were now lying in a pile in front of the couch.
Kay casually, picked them up, told us she would put them on the bed and
then carried them to the bedroom.  Erin stayed quiet.  The rest of us
talked and waited for Kay to return to see if anything else was going to
happen.  Kay had yet another surprise for us though.  When she returned
from the bedroom, she was no longer dressed in the shorts and T-shirt she'd
had on all day.  She was now dressed in the long, light green nightgown
Kimmy had bought her a few days before.  My jaw dropped when I saw her.

   The nightgown outlined her body perfectly.  The light green of the gown
clashed with her red hair, which brought out the true beauty of her dark
green eyes.  The top emphasized her well-endowed chest and flat belly and I
could see her nipples, standing erect, poking through the thin material. 
The "skirt" of the gown was so sheer that light passed through it so that
her shapely hips and legs were displayed.  Her feet were covered by a pair
of blue slippers.  We all just stared for a moment.  Then Kay smiled,
turned in a full circle to model the gown and all of a sudden, everyone
seemed to relax.

   I don't know when Kay became the leader of our little group, it seemed
like it happened the first day we met, but the reaction of every one in the
RV at that moment showed exactly how much charisma the beautiful young
woman had.  I told Kay she looked great.  Kimmy quickly agreed and gave me
an "I told you so" look.  Lori even said that Kay looked beautiful.  Kay
thanked each of us and then sat back down next to me.  I pulled her close
and gently kissed her soft lips.  "You are so beautiful," I whispered to
her.  She smiled at me and gave me another kiss.

   "Okay now, Lori," Kay started, once again in the carnival barker voice.
Everyone went quiet when she spoke.  "Do you want to wander around naked
all night?" Lori looked at Kay as if she didn't understand the question. 
"Say the word and I'll give you the opportunity to put on some clothes,"
Kay said and smiled.  I looked at Kay, trying to figure out what she was up
to but Kay ignored me.  Lori hesitated in answering.  The girl had no
problem with being naked.  In fact, I think she preferred it.  I imagine
her hesitation was caused because while she didn't care if she was naked,
she was extremely curious about what her older sister had in mind for her.

   "Okay, what do I have to do?" Lori asked hesitantly after a few seconds.

   "Nothing much," Kay said with a devilish smile.  Anyone else but Lori
would have instantly regretted asking the question.  Lori, on the other
hand, just smiled.  "But we'll come back to that in a moment," Kay said and
then turned to Kimmy who was also naked.  "Kimmy, are you interested in
regaining some dignity?" Kay asked.  Like Lori, Kimmy hesitated for just a
second.  I don't think being naked is quite as natural to Kimmy as it was
to Lori.  I think Kimmy's comfort level in the RV and with that group of
people was so high at this point, that it just didn't bother her that much
to be naked in front of us.  Kimmy nodded.

   "Okay, I'll play along," Kimmy said in surrender.

   "Good," Kay said with a nod and slowly turned to Erin.  "Do you want to
play?" Kay asked.

   "Said the spider to the fly," Annie slipped in quickly followed by a
giggle.  Kay turned and looked at Annie and laughed.

   "You're going to fit in well around here," Kay retorted and then turned
back to Erin.  Annie and I smiled at each other and then went back to
following the conversation.

   "Yes, I want my clothes back." There was no hesitation with Erin.  She
didn't appreciate being naked and her comfort was not as high as Kimmy's.
She wanted cloths!  I knew I was next.

   "I'll play," I said as soon as Kay turned to me.  She then turned on
Annie, the poor new girl.

   "And you my pretty?" Kay said in her best wicked-witch voice.  "Shall we
play?"

   "All I lost was my shoes," Annie stated and sat forward and stared at
Kay.  "What do I need to play for?" Annie asked "I don't mind running
around here for the night without my ruby slippers," Annie said, playing
with Kay.  I had to laugh.  Kay had finally met her match.

   "For the fuck of it," Kay put in quickly with a smile and a raised
eyebrow.  The two girls stared at each other for a moment and Annie nodded.

   "Why not," Annie said with a shrug.  "But, I want something in return.
Something more than my shoes."

   "That can be arranged.  We'll talk," Kay said and then turned back to
the rest of us.  "We will start with the naked ones.  Your challenges," Kay
said looking from Kimmy and Lori to Erin, "will each be different.  Agree
or succeed, depending on the challenge, and you will be allowed to cover
yourselves once more." The three girls each nodded.

   "Lori," Kay said and turned to her sister.  "Your challenge is simple.
You must find a sleeping partner and it cannot be me, Jason or Kimmy," Kay
stated and smiled.  Lori's face fell.  She was horrified at the idea.  It
basically meant no sex for another night for the young girl.  She hadn't
gotten any last night because Kimmy was with Kay and now, she wouldn't get
any again.  She hadn't even had a quickie because Kimmy was driving most of
the day.  At the time, I didn't think she would agree, but Kay didn't give
her a chance to respond right then though.

   "Kimmy, your challenge is a little more difficult." Kimmy's face looked
as though she was waiting for a pie to hit her.  "Your challenge goes along
with Erin's challenge," Kay said and slowly turned to look at the cowering
Erin who was sitting to my left on the opposite side of Kay.

   "Erin, me girl," Kay said with a bad Irish accent.  "Your challenge is
simple and painless.  Your only task is to allow Kimmy to take twenty
pictures of you.  You must pose for her in any way, shape or form Kimmy
decides on.  Once the roll of film is done, you may dress.  Kimmy, if Erin
refuses, I will offer you another chance," Kay said.  I could almost hear a
wink in Kay's voice.

   "Now, for the nearly naked," Kay said and turned to me.  "Not that I
don't like you mostly naked, because I do," Kay said running her eyes up
and down my practically naked body.  "But, it is only fair I give you a
chance." I nodded.  "Your task is twofold.  One, if needed, you are to pose
with Erin for Kimmy's photo session.  This is at Kimmy's request of
course." I nodded.  That was easy.  I'd been there before.  "Your second
task is the most difficult of all.  Not only because of who you are but
because of what you are, namely, a man," Kay said and a wicked smile
crossed her face.  Suddenly, I was terrified.  "The task is simple and
straightforward.  You must, for any female here who wishes to play, bring
them to orgasm by midnight tonight.  Once you have done this, you may
dress. Kimmy, is of course, excluded from this if," Kay said and emphasized
the word if.  "If, and only if, she uses you in her photos.  There is, one
small catch, you must do it in whatever way that individual wants you to.
Intercourse, oral sex, hands only, whatever.  I will trust you to do this
if you agree and allow you to get dressed now.  If you fail though, you
must agree to go naked, or as naked as you are now, tomorrow night
instead," Kay finished and I closed my eyes, let my head fall back and lay
on the back of the couch asking myself why I ever picked up all these
girls. I could always just stay in my underwear.  Then a thought occurred
to me.  I lifted my head and looked at Kay.

   "What if I do one, but not the other?" I asked.

   "Ah, good question," Kay responded.  "Do only the photos with Kimmy and
Erin and I will allow you to put on one article of clothing.  That's if
Erin agrees to the photos and Kimmy uses you in at least five shots." I
glanced over at Kimmy, she nodded to tell me she would make sure to use me
in five shots, if Erin agreed to do it at all.  "Do the second task, but
not the photos and I will allow you to put on two pieces of clothing.  Do
both and you get all your clothes back," She said.  "Agreeable?"

   I nodded and considered my options as Kay turned to Annie who was
sitting on my right side waiting with a smile on her face.  The girl seemed
to actually be enjoying this.  "And now for you my pretty," Kay said, using
her wicked witch voice again.  "You said you didn't want to just play for
your shoes," Kay stated and Annie nodded in agreement.  "Very well, it's
kind of tradition around here, although it wasn't agreed on earlier and if
there are any objections anyone, please speak up," Kay said and looked
around at the rest of us.  "That the winner of this game also gets first
choice of beds." I nodded in agreement.  Kimmy and Lori also did.  When Kay
saw that no one was going to object, she continued.  "If you do the
challenge I have in mind for you, I will give you that opportunity," Kay
said.  "Think carefully.  Remember, you haven't slept on any of these beds
yet," Kay said with that same devilish grin.

   "I take it the one in the master bedroom is the most comfortable?" Annie
asked looking from Kay, to me, and back again.  I nodded.

   "Yeah, it's definitely the most comfortable," Kay agreed.  "It also
comes with one other advantage.  Jason always gets his bed, no matter what.
So if you sleep in there, you also get to sleep with Jason.  I don't know
the status of your relationship but let me tell you, he's one hell of a hot
water bottle and a great cuddler," Kay said, desperate to convince Annie to
play along.

   "I know he is.  We've slept together many times.  Even if sex wasn't
involved," Annie said and smiled.

   Suddenly images of Annie and I curled up in bed together flashed through
my mind.  From the age of seven on, we would sleep over at each other's
house on a pretty regular basis.  Although our parents would provide a bed
for each of us, it was never needed.  By morning, we were always in bed
together.  During our teen years, this practice, of course, dropped off,
but even then it happened on occasion.

   One night while her parents were out of town, she got scared because she
was hearing noises in her house.  At one in the morning, dressed in nothing
but a housecoat and nightgown, she grabbed her teddy bear, ran next door to
our house, banged on the door and begged to sleep over.  Boy oh boy, did
Markie get a surprise when he answered the door that night.  My mother
allowed her to come in and succumbing to old habits Annie climbed into bed
with me.  I didn't even know she was there until the next morning when I
woke up and found my body pressed against her and my shorts seemed just a
little tighter than normal.  It was later that day that I asked her to be
my girlfriend.  I never told her but that morning, before she woke up, I
copped a feel of her tits.  It was one of the few times I had the
opportunity to do so.

   We had also spent the night together in a tent a number of times. 
Annie's parents went camping regularly.  Her father was big into the
outdoors.  In our pre-teen years I was often invited to go along. 
Normally, I would sleep in one tent with her father, while Annie slept in
another with her mother.  On one such expedition though, into the Blue
Ridge, Annie and I had stayed up late to watch a meteor shower.  Her
parents had unwittingly retired to the same tent.  They acknowledged their
mistake the next morning.  After that, the question was never raised again.
From then on, anytime we went camping, Annie and I shared a tent and
occasionally, on the coldest nights, a sleeping bag.  I had never told her
so, but those were some of the best nights of my life up until I got the
RV.

   "So, do you agree?" Kay asked.

   "I'm willing to listen to what the challenge is.  I don't know whether
I'll agree or not though," Annie responded.  Kay nodded, stood up and waved
for Annie to follow her.  Kay stopped and turned back to us when they were
in the kitchen.

   "You all have until I return to decide whether you will accept the
challenges laid before you," Kay stated, then led Annie away back to the
bedroom.

   Lori and Kimmy were already in a heated discussion about whether Lori
should take the challenge or not.  Erin was sitting there staring after
Kay, obviously mad.  I slid over to her and put an arm around her
shoulders. "You going to take the deal?" I asked immediately.  Erin looked
at me for a second as if wondering when I had moved.  Then responded.

   "I don't know yet," she said in a whisper.

   "You may as well.  What's the worst that can happen?" I told her with a
shrug.

   "Someone could put those pictures on the Internet.  My reputation is on
the line Jason," Erin said.

   "No," I told her.  "It won't happen.  The reason it won't happen is
because before this trip is over, I plan to have copies of each and every
picture made.  If you do this, you will get a copy, Kay and Lori will get a
copy, Kimmy will get a copy and I will get a copy.  If Annie gets her
picture taken in a compromising position, I will offer her a copy also. 
It's my own little form of memorabilia," I told her.  "If everyone has a
copy of compromising pictures of the others, no one will want those
pictures published or publicized.  If a picture of you comes out, you can
release pictures of the others," I said.  "It's kind of my form of MAD,
Mutually Assured Destruction.  It is what stopped a nuclear war between the
US and the former Soviet Union.  No one would want themselves compromised
like that," I said.  This seemed to sink in and she relaxed a little.  I
still wasn't sure she'd take the deal.  "I've already got one naked picture
of you Erin.  You took it," I said with a smile.  She gave me a sideways
glance but didn't respond.

   A minute later, Kay and Annie returned from the bedroom.  I didn't find
out the full details of the challenge Kay had laid out for Annie until the
next morning.  I'll give you a hint though, since Annie was the newest, she
got the worst.  It was a triple.  The challenge was simple.  Annie must
involve herself in everybody else's challenges.  Something like: 1) Annie
must get herself, naked, into at least one of the photos Kimmy was to take
of Erin.  2) Annie had to convince Lori to sleep with her.  The catch was,
if Lori accepted, Lori would, without breaking her deal, also get to sleep
with me in the big bed., because Erin would earn the right to choose where
to sleep.  As long as Lori agreed to sleep with Annie before Annie
announced where she was sleeping, the deal would hold for both Annie and
Lori...  And finally, 3) She had to volunteer to be one of my subjects. 
She had to let me bring her to orgasm.  This was the only part of the
challenge that gave Annie pause.  There was a catch, Annie couldn't tell
any of us what her challenge was until after she had succeeded or failed.

   Kay returned to her seat beside me.  Annie went over to Lori, bent down
and whispered in the young girls ear.  I don't know what she said, but
Annie held out her hand and Lori took it.  Annie pulled Lori to her feet
and led her back to the bedroom.  Kimmy and I both watched this.  We then
glanced at each other, confused.  "Now then," Kay started.  "Everyone's had
a chance to consider their challenge.  Erin," Kay said and turned to Erin
beside me.  "Your decision to do yours effects others, so we'll begin with
you.  Will you accept my challenge?" Kay asked.  Erin closed her eyes, took
a few deep breaths, paused and then nodded.  "Good, Kimmy?"

   "I'm in if she's in," Kimmy said glancing over at Erin.  Kimmy gave Erin
a comforting smile.  Erin smiled back but she still wasn't very
comfortable.

   "Fine.  Lori doesn't need to accept her challenge.  If she ends up
sleeping with anyone but me, Kimmy or Jason, she wins.  We'll come back to
that.  I already know what Annie's decision is so..." Kay paused, smiled at
each of us and then said "Good luck everyone." Kay then sat back and
watched the show.  Kimmy went over and got the camera out of it's place and
a new roll of film...

   "We'll start the picture taking once Annie and Lori come out of the
bedroom," Kimmy said as she sat down and started loading the camera with
film.  Erin just grunted in acknowledgment.

   "By the way, Jason," Kay said and snuggled up to me.  "If you want, I'll
volunteer as your first client." She smiled.  I laughed but didn't respond.
A few minutes later Kay got up to go use the toilet.  That was my big
chance.  Erin, Kimmy and I were alone.

   "Ladies, I have an idea," I said and smiled at them.  They both looked
up at me.  "Erin, are you planning to take part in my challenge, to give
any girl who wants one an orgasm?" She just shrugged.  "Well go ahead and
tell Kay you'll do it.  How do you want me to do it?" I asked.  Erin just
shrugged.  "You have to pick one and tell Kay.  How do you want it?"

   "Intercourse?" Erin said unsure.

   "No, go with oral.  I can do it faster and I won't get as tired,
please?" Erin nodded.  "Good.  Kimmy," I turned to the naked Kimmy. 
"You're going to put me in five shots right?"

   "Yeah," Kimmy said definitively.

   "Good, make one them me giving Erin oral sex," I said with a devilish
smile.

   "Kill two birds at the same time, clever boy," Kimmy said and went back
to loading the film and getting ready.  Erin looked confused, so I
explained.

   "We can combine you getting an orgasm and the picture.  Kimmy can take a
picture of me giving you oral sex," I said with a devious grin.  Erin
nodded.  She didn't seem happy though.  She was still naked.  The poor
girl, I wondered if this was the kind of thing that made her want to go
home.  A minute later, Kay returned and immediately after that Annie and
Lori returned from the bedroom.

   Annie didn't seem thrilled but Lori looked absolutely tickled pink. 
Annie took a seat by Kimmy and Lori came to a stop right in front of Kay.
"I'll take your bet.  I'll sleep with Annie," Lori said with a smile.

   "Okay," was all Kay said.  I looked from Lori to Annie, unsure of what
was going on.  Kimmy looked confused also but didn't say anything.  Instead
she stood up and headed for the bedroom.

   "Come on Erin, picture time.  Jace, I'll need you too," Kimmy yelled
over her shoulder.  Erin stood up, reluctantly and followed.  As she
started towards the kitchen, Erin stopped and turned back around to face
Kay.

   "By the way, I want to get involved in Jason's thing," Erin told Kay,
just as planned.  Kay nodded.  "I want him to eat me until I orgasm." Kay
smiled at Erin who turned and went to the bedroom and then Kay turned to me
and smiled.

   "That's one volunteer," Kay whispered to me.

   I glanced over at Annie one more time as Lori sat down in the seat Kimmy
had just left.  Then I kissed Kay and followed Erin into the bedroom. 
Kimmy was waiting at the foot of the bed, now dressed.  Erin was sitting on
the bed, still naked.

   "Erin, you could at least try to enjoy this.  It is supposed to be fun,"
I told her as I entered the room.  Erin ignored me.

   "Okay," Kimmy said and looked through the viewfinder to find the best
place for her first shot.  "The first couple of shots are going to be just
Erin," Kimmy said, circling the bed with the camera pressed to her eye. 
She then dropped the camera and looked around the room.  A smile slowly
grew across her face.  "Okay, I know what we're going to do.  Jace, you
remember the pictures Kay took of you and Lori?" I nodded.  "Good, we're
going to do something similar," She notified me.  "Erin, the first shot I
want of you is you coming in through the bedroom door dressed in a
nightgown and bathrobe.  Better yet," Kimmy says excitedly and starts
talking faster.  "Go jump in the shower real quick.  Get good and wet and
then dry off.  Wrap a towel around your head and then put on Jason's
bathrobe," She ordered.  Erin didn't smile but she did head off to follow
instructions.  While Erin was in the shower, Kimmy searched through the
bedroom to find various items that she wanted to use.  She piled them all
into one of the drawers so they wouldn't show up in the picture and look
out of place.  She told me to wait in the corner near the TV so I wouldn't
show up in a picture until needed.  I stood in my corner like a good little
boy and waited.

   Erin came to the door a few minutes later with a towel around her head
and my bathrobe hanging from her shoulders.  It wasn't tied.  "I need you
to tie the bathrobe and then come out of the bathroom and into the bedroom.
Pretend like Jason isn't there," Kimmy said.  Kimmy then kneeled on the
floor and waited.  Lori started to stand up and come back to watch but
Kimmy yelled for her to get out of the picture.  This irritated Erin to no
end because she had to then go back into the bathroom and make her entrance
again.  Kimmy kneeled at the foot of the bed and watched through the
viewfinder as Erin came out of the bathroom and into the bedroom.  Just as
Erin entered the bedroom, Kimmy took the picture.  "Very good," Kimmy said
once the picture was taken.

   "Okay, come on in and close the door," Kimmy ordered Erin.  Erin did as
she was told.  "Jace, move over here," Kimmy said pointing me to the
opposite corner as she climbed on to the bed and kneeled down.  "Damn.  I
show up in the picture," She said as she looked through the viewfinder.  I
realized she could see her reflection in the mirrored closet doors.  "Erin,
slide that closet door open," She ordered.  Erin didn't try to understand
it; she just did it, wanting to get it over with.  Kimmy moved to one side
of the bed and peered through the viewfinder again.  "Perfect.  Okay Erin,
what we're going to do is tell a story as Kay did with Jace and Lori a
while back.  The basic story is, you are a beautiful young woman, alone in
the house or in this case, the RV.  You have just come out of the shower
and are getting ready for bed.  Jason, is going to play a rapist.  He is
going to be hiding in the closet, on the closed side.  Jace," Kimmy turned
to me.  "You mind actually hiding in the closet.  I want to make sure it's
realistic.  You could hide in there." Without a word, I went to the closet,
slid the doors the opposite way Erin had moved them and then stepped
inside. I pushed some of the clothes out of my way and got in so my back
was pressed to the wall at the back of the closet.  I then pulled the
clothes back in front of me, hiding out of view.

   "Erin," I shouted.  "Close the closet doors again and see if you can see
me?" I heard the two sliding doors slide in front of me.

   "I can't," Erin shouted.

   "Okay.  Perfect Jason.  Okay now, Jason is hiding in the closet.  You
have just come out of the shower and are looking for a nightgown to wear.
Turn your back to me and go through the closet like your looking for
something to wear," Kimmy ordered Erin.

   I could hear the plastic hangers sliding on the bar as Erin moved them
one way and then the other.  Then I heard the camera click.  "Perfect,"
Kimmy shouted.  "Okay, Erin, do you have a nightgown in there?"

   "I've got nightshirts," Erin responded.  I was still hidden in the
closet.

   "That's fine.  Take one out and face me; do not close the closet door,"
Kimmy said.  Erin slid the doors the other way, picked a nightshirt from
several that were hanging right in front of me, and took it out of the
closet on it's hanger and slid the doors back the way Kimmy wanted them. 
"Perfect, a Snoopy, so innocent.  Okay, lay Snoopy face up on the bed."
Kimmy paused to let Erin do as she was told.  "Now take the towel from your
hair.  Wait!" Kimmy hollered and I heard her jump off the bed.  "Okay, take
off the towel and then flip your wet hair around," Kimmy ordered.  "Do not
drop the towel." Two seconds later, I heard the camera click again.  I
heard the camera whir and as the picture popped out.  I guess Kimmy waited
to see the picture before speaking again.  "You're a great model Erin,"
Kimmy said with a smile.

   "Jason, move in front of the clothes.  I want to be able to see your
face around the door.  Do it carefully.  I want the closet to look as much
the same as possible." I carefully pushed some clothes aside and stepped in
front of them.  I then slid sideways with my chest and stomach rubbing
against the doors.  I peeked my head around the doors and could see Erin
standing almost right in front of me.  Kimmy was at the edge of the bed. 
"Stay right there Jace," Kimmy ordered.  "Okay, Erin, I want you to move a
little to your right.  I want to be able to see Jason's face in the
picture." Erin moved one small step to the right so my face was visible to
the camera.  Kimmy wanted it obvious that I was there.  "Great.  Now Erin,
untie the robe and let it slide about halfway down your arms." I watched as
Erin untied the robe, slid it off her shoulders and let it slide about
halfway down her arms.  "Okay, perfect.  Hold it just like that," Kimmy
said.  "Jason, glare at Erin.  Erin, look just above me," Kimmy ordered.  I
did as Kimmy ordered and apparently, so did Erin.  The next instant Kimmy
took picture number four.

   "Good job both of you," Kimmy said and got off the bed.  "Now it gets
difficult.  Okay, lets see.  Erin, take off the robe and lay it across the
foot of the bed." Erin let the robe fall from her arms.  She picked it up
and laid it on the bed beside her nightshirt.  I had a great view of Erin's
ass.  "Jason, come on out," she told me and I stepped out of the closet. 
"Get right behind Erin.  Place one arm across her chest and cover her
mouth. Wrap the other around her waist and hold her against you.  Erin, you
need to look scared.  Jace, I want you to look scary and angry," Kimmy
said. I wrapped my arms around Erin just as I was instructed, covered
Erin's mouth and wrapped my other around her waist and pressed her back
against me.  She felt very nice.  Kimmy kneeled at the head of the bed. 
Erin did her best to look scared.  I did my best to look mean.  The camera
clicked and whirred and I let go of Erin.  Kimmy climbed off the bed, asked
me to close the closet door and then told Erin to get on the bed.

   Erin climbed on the bed and the three of us looked over the five
pictures we had taken so far.  We decided we were doing well.  Kimmy then
had Erin lay down on her back and had me use the belt from my bathrobe to
tie Erin's hands together over her head.  In the next picture Erin was tied
up with me standing over her beside the bed as I was stripping off the last
of my clothes.  Kimmy did a pull a fast one on Erin and I though.

   Right after I was naked, Kimmy ordered me to lie next to Erin and rub
her all over, which I did happily.  Erin was to act like she wasn't
enjoying it.  Kimmy took a picture just as I was sliding a finger into
Erin's pussy.  Kimmy took the next picture with me kneeling beside Erin's
face.  I had a hold of her hair and it really looked like I was forcing her
to suck my cock.  Kimmy didn't bother to tell us that Erin needed to give
me a mini blowjob.  Kimmy told Erin to really suck on me, giving her the
impression that she would only need to do it long enough for Kimmy to snap
the picture, so Erin complied.  It was a good five minutes before Kimmy
took the picture.  She explained that I had to actually be hard.  It had to
look like I was enjoying myself.  This made sense, but it didn't help
Erin's mood.

   The ninth and tenth pictures were both of me giving Erin oral sex.  It
worked out well, because Erin had an orgasm while I was giving her oral
sex. That fulfilled part of my deal with Kay.

   After that, things went pretty quickly.  Kimmy took a few pictures of me
sucking on Erin's tits and finally I pretended to fuck Erin.  Erin
appreciated the fact that Kimmy didn't make us actually have sex.  I also
appreciated not having to have sex with Erin considering what the rest of
the night might hold.  After four pictures of me simulating intercourse
with Erin, Kimmy stood her up at the edge of the bed and took pictures of
me appearing to rape Erin's tight little ass.  The final picture was of
Erin, alone on the bed with her hands still tied and her eyes closed.  Just
as Kimmy was about to take the shot, there was a knock on the door.  She
opened the door and found Annie there.  "What's up?" Kimmy asked.

   "I was wondering if I could get in one picture.  I'll do whatever you
say," Annie promised with a smile.

   "Why?" Kimmy asked suspiciously.

   "Just want to.  Can I please?" Annie begged.  I shrugged when Kimmy
looked at me.  Erin didn't respond at all.

   "Okay why not.  Here's what I want you to do." Kimmy began explaining
everything about the pictures.  Annie came into the bedroom and listened
intently.  She nodded as Kimmy explained and then showed her each picture,
which to be honest, I found a little embarrassing.  Then Kimmy then told
Annie that she wanted Annie to play Erin's roommate.  She was to lean over
the bed and check on Erin.  Annie nodded and began to undress.  We all
stood there and watched as she pulled down her jeans and panties.  "Uh,
Annie, you don't need to be naked," Kimmy told her.

   "I want to be.  Is that okay?" Annie asked surprising all of us.  Kimmy
shrugged.

   "Why not?" she said and I watched as she posed Erin on the bed and then
Annie over the bed.  I could not figure out what was going through the
girl's mind at the time.  Unknown to everyone but Kay and Annie, she had
just completed two out of the three objectives Kay had given her.

   After that we all dressed and went out to the living room and relaxed
for a while.  I did make a quick stop off in the bathroom to wash my face
and brush my teeth.  Kay went through the pictures and smiled at Annie when
she saw the last one.  "Okay, Kimmy and Erin have passed.  Lori has agreed
so she's passed as long as she does what she says.  Jason, that just leaves
you," Kay said with a smile.  I took a drink of my soda before I responded.

   "I already gave Erin hers," I told Kay.  Kay eyed me suspiciously.  "Its
right there in the pictures," I told her and pointed at the two of me
eating Erin's pussy.

   "Erin, did he?" Kay asked.  Erin nodded and Kimmy seconded the fact. 
That was enough for Kay.  "You planned it that way didn't you?" she asked
me.  I nodded.

   "Of course," I said with a smile.

   "I never said you all couldn't help each other," Kay said with a shrug,
which, honestly, kind of ruined the moment of gloating I was hoping for. 
"So did you make deals with all of them not to want an orgasm?" Kay asked.

   "He didn't with me," Lori piped in.

   "Or me," Annie said, adding her two cents worth.  Again, surprising me
and everyone else.

   "What's up with you?" I asked Annie.  "Suddenly, you're very... 
friendly?" I said.

   "Well, Just trying to fit in," Annie said with a smile.

   "And there's always me," Kay told me.  "Kimmy?" Kay turned to Kimmy.

   "No.  I've got something to do," Kimmy said and took a hold of Lori's
hand.  Lori looked at her and Kimmy motioned towards the back of the RV. 
Lori nodded and both rose and headed for the back.

   "I think Kimmy's upset," I said to no one in particular once the two had
vanished into the bathroom.  A moment later the water came on.  I wondered
if they were actually taking a shower or just using the water to cover the
sounds of their voices.

   Kay swung around, put her feet up on the couch and lay down, resting her
head on my lap.  "So, when are you going to finish your task?" She asked.

   "Well, I guess I have to do Annie and Lori first.  I can get you
tonight," I said as I started running my hands through her hair.

   "True.  But what if Annie wins her bet and she chooses to sleep with
you?" Kay asked.  I hadn't really thought about that before that moment.

   "That could be problematic.  Speaking of which, how do you want to be
satisfied?" I asked Kay.

   "The old fashioned way," She said with a smile and rubbed her head
against my crotch.

   "What about you?" I asked Annie who was sitting across from us in the
love seat.  Erin was at the far other end of the couch forcing Kay to curl
her legs up.

   "I don't know if I can do it yet.  I want to.  I'm just not sure I can,"
Annie told me.  This also made me wonder.

   "And Lori is AWOL," I said.

   "So?" Kay said, hinting.

   "Okay, okay, come on," I said.  Kay yipped and jumped up and off the
couch.  I followed her back to the bedroom.

   When I got to the bedroom, Kay was already stripping off her clothes. 
She already had the nightgown off and was sliding her panties down her
legs. I just stopped in front of the door and watched.  She dropped the
bikini on the floor and stood up.  Our eyes locked and we just stared at
each other for a full minute.  After the minute passed, she just stood
there, waiting.  My eyes traveled down her body.  Her skin was covered in
light pink and brown freckles.  Her breasts stuck out, proud as could be.
Her nipples were hard and erect.  My eyes followed her belly down to her
navel, down to the mat of hair, and then on down her pale white legs. 
"What are you looking at?" Kay asked with a shy smile.  I moved around the
bed, she turned to face me.  Our toes were only an inch apart, our noses
only six inches apart when I answered.

   "Your beautiful body," I said quietly looking right in her big green
eyes.  Kay reached out and ran a hand down my stubble-covered face.  She
reached out and took a hold of the bottom of my shirt and pulled it up. 
Our eyes never broke contact.  I raised my arms and she pulled the shirt
off over my head.  She dropped the shirt on the floor and ran her warm,
soft hands down my chest and down to my shorts.

   "I love you," Kay said in a whisper as she unbuttoned my shorts and
allowed them to fall down my legs.

   "I'm not going to win the challenge," I told her out of the blue.  "I'm
not getting out of bed again." A big smile crossed my face and she returned
the smile as she blushed.  I felt one of her hands on my belly and it slid
down, fingers first, under the elastic band of my briefs and wrapped around
my throbbing cock.  A chill ran up and down my spine at her first touch. 
All of a sudden I couldn't breathe and my eyes wanted to close.  She slid
her hand up and then back down my cock and then stepped forward and kissed
my lips.  My hands moved to her sides and pulled her to me and I held her
close and covered her mouth with mine.  Her hand released my cock and
slithered out of my briefs.  She hooked her thumbs into the elastic
waistband and pulled down my briefs as I continued to kiss her.  She then
wrapped her arms around me and we spent the next few minutes kissing and
trying desperately to get impossibly close to each other.  When we broke
apart again, I opened my eyes and found her looking back at me.

   "You can't spend the rest of the night in bed.  You have to get up," Kay
informed me without warning.

   "Why?" I asked.

   "You just do," She said and pushed away.  She bent down and picked up
the bikini she had removed only moments before.

   "Are we done?" I asked.  I couldn't decide what was worse.  The hard on
I had or the mystery reason why it seemed I wasn't going to get to do
anything about it.

   "I'm sorry Jason.  I have my reasons," She said and pulled the bikini
up. She then pushed past me, scooped up the nightgown from the end of the
bed and left the room with it draped over her arm.  I stood there staring
at the door with my mouth open like a total idiot, trying to figure out
what had just happened.  After a moment, I closed my mouth, shook my head
in confusion and got re-dressed.  It's amazing how fast a hard on will
vanish when you're brushed off like that.

   When I returned to the living room Kay was seated on the couch again
with her nightgown back on.  Kimmy and Lori had returned and were sitting
beside Kay.  Erin was at the table with Annie talking in whispers.  I shot
Kay a glare but she either didn't notice or didn't care.  I flopped down on
the couch, dejected.

   Whatever had been the problem with Kimmy and Lori had obviously been
solved.  Both were wet and dressed in only panties.  I looked from them to
Kay questioningly.  This, she didn't ignore.  She just shrugged.  I
realized I had no one to talk to.  I was upset with Kay.  Lori and Kimmy
were talking and giggling right across the aisle but were so absorbed in
each other I doubt they even noticed my presence and Annie and Erin were in
a heated discussion at the table.  This, honestly, worried me a tad.  What
the heck did those two have to discuss?  I sat there in silence.  My only
consolation was that Kay was in the same predicament.  She must have known
I was upset with her because she never even attempted to begin a
conversation with me.

   After only a few minutes Kimmy and Lori took notice of their audience
and moved to the bed.  "Kay, I give up.  You win," Lori said over her
shoulder as her and Kimmy moved to their usual bed and climbed in and
closed the curtain.  Kay looked at me and I smiled.  Lori was the second
person who had given up on the challenge.  That left only Annie and the
challenge Kay had given her.  I could see in her eyes that she was about to
ask a question when Annie and Erin laughed and then Annie stood up.  "Jay,"
Annie said.  I turned to her.  She was smiling but was patting her thigh in
nervousness.  She licked her pretty pink lips, inhaled.  "I'm ready," She
said and turned and headed for the bedroom.

   For some reason I turned to Kay.  I was desperate to ask her what she
had done.  I had no doubt in my mind at that moment I wanted to get Annie
in bed and make love to her.  I had wanted to do that for the better part
of six years.  Ever since I had found out about sex.  She was always the
girl I fantasized about when I masturbated.  She was always the girl I
imagined myself with.  I dreamed about her.  In my eyes, until I left home
in that RV, she was my destiny.  She was the perfect woman to me.  That had
changed after I met Erin and Kay but Annie was still my oldest and dearest
friend.  I didn't want her hurt and I sure didn't want her hurt by me
because of something Kay had done.

   "Annie!" I yelled without taking my eyes off Kay.  I didn't see Annie
turn, but I heard her turn.  "I quit the game.  I surrendered," I told her.
Kay's head dropped and she stared at the floor.  I didn't see Annie's face
but the next thing I heard was her feet as she ran to the bedroom and
slammed the door.  I turned but all I saw was the closed bedroom door. 
Erin turned on me.  Her eyes stared at me hard.  I had never seen her so
mad.  Without taking her eyes off of me she stood up and backed her way to
the bedroom door using her hands to find her way.  She never took her eyes
off of me until the bedroom door was open.  She then turned around and went
inside, closing the door behind her.

   "What the hell?" I said.  It was supposed to be a rhetorical question.

   "She finally decides to have sex with you and you all but said no," Kay
said.  I turned to her.

   "Great.  Because I was irritated with you, Annie is now mad at me," I
said.  I guess it did sound rather accusatory.

   "So this is my fault?" Kay almost yelled and jumped to her feet.  I
looked up at her and could see tears building in her eyes.

   "That's not the way I meant it Kay," I insisted.  She just stood there
for a second.

   "I know," She said and nodded and sat down beside me.  She leaned over
and laid her head on my chest.  "I'm sorry Jace." She wrapped her arms
around me and squeezed me.  I guess it was as close as she could get to a
hug with us both sitting down.  I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and
we both sat there quietly for a few minutes.  "Don't you think you should
go talk to Annie?" Kay finally said, breaking the silence.

   "Yeah," I said.  I knew I needed to, but I also knew I didn't want to. I
stood up and headed for the bedroom.  I knocked and without waiting for a
response opened the door.  Annie and Erin were both laying on the bed. 
Annie wasn't crying but it was obvious she had been.  "Erin, Can I talk to
Annie alone please?" Erin looked from me to Annie.  Annie nodded and Erin
got up and left the bedroom giving me a dirty look as she passed.  I closed
the door behind her and went and sat down next to Annie.  "Do you want to
tell me what happened out there?" I said motioning out to the front of the
RV.

   "Can you tell me why you didn't want to have sex with me?" Annie asked.

   "It wasn't you," I said and turned away from her.  "Kay and I came in
here you know?  My emotions got away from me.  I told Kay that I wanted to
give up on the deal and just spend the rest of the night with her.  We
started kissing and such and then she pulled away and told me I had to get
up.  That I couldn't stay in bed.  She wouldn't explain why, she just got
dressed and walked out.  I didn't turn you down because I didn't want to
have sex with you.  I turned you down because I was upset with Kay.  That
she had blown me off like that," I explained without looking at her.  Annie
got up on her knees behind me and rested her chin on my shoulder.

   "I'm the reason you had to get up.  It was part of my deal with Kay.  I
had to have sex with you," Annie explained.  "Kay was doing everything she
could to help make it happen." I turned and looked at her.  She half smiled
and shrugged.  I just started laughing.  She soon joined in.

   "So I'm mad at Kay for not going to bed with me because she wanted you
to have a chance to get me in bed, which I didn't take you up on because I
was mad at Kay." We both laughed harder and fell on to the bed.  Her head
was on the pillows and my head was resting on her belly with my feet on the
floor.  I looked up at her as we calmed down.  "Annie...  , " I said and
waited for her to look at me.  "Do you want..." I emphasized the word want.
"to have sex with me?" I asked.  She stopped laughing and her smile
vanished.

   "Jason.  There's no simple answer to that.  My body says yes.  I'm
lonely, scared and I would love to be with a man.  My heart and my
upbringing tell me no, that I shouldn't have sex with a man until I'm in
love with him.  I love you but I'm not in love with you.  And my brain just
can't figure out which side is right," She said as she stroked my face.  I
nodded.

   "I understand," I said and sat up.  "Are you mad at me?" She smiled and
shook her head no.  "Good.  Could you call off Erin?" She giggled and
agreed.  "Good.  That just leaves me in the dog house with Kay," I said. 
"Oh and by the way, Lori backed out of her bet too.  She went to bed with
Kimmy a while back," I told her.

   "Damn it!" Annie said quietly.  I wondered why this upset Annie but I
didn't ask.  I stood up, leaned over the bed and kissed Annie's cheek and
then went to talk to Kay.  When I went out to the living room, Erin
continued to give me dirty looks until I sat down next to Kay.  Erin then
promptly rose and headed for the bedroom.  I had to laugh.

   "So, do you want to go to bed or not?" I asked Kay.  She looked at me.

   "Naw, I think I'll climb up there and get in bed with Kimmy and Lori,"
She said.  Suddenly the curtain around the bed above the cab flew open and
we heard Kimmy and Lori's voice.

   "Come on in!" They yelled in unison.  Kay and I both laughed.  We then
got up and hand in hand walked back to the bedroom.  Erin and Annie were
both sitting on the bed laughing.  Kay and I went in and stood at the foot
of the bed.  Erin rose and came over, gave me a puppy face, I laughed and
hugged her.  That settled that.

   "So what are you two up to?" Kay asked as she sat down.  Erin assumed
her place at the far side of the bed near the footboard.  Annie was at the
head of the bed, also on the far side of the bed.  Kay was sitting on the
near side of the bed at the foot of the bed so I lay down.

   "We're just talking," Annie said with a little smile at me.

   "You two sure have been talking a lot," I said.

   "Is that a problem?" Erin asked defensively.

   "No," I answered quickly.  "Just unexpected."

   "I don't know why.  We have a lot in common.  Think about it," Annie
explained.  "We both had a brief relationship with you that we ended and we
both came into the RV after you and Kay and the others met.  We're the
fifth wheels.  You told me so yourself," Annie said.  I had to nod.  I had
said that.

   "Did you two want to go to bed?" Annie asked.

   "We just came back because Kimmy and Lori are back in bed," Kay said. 
It wasn't the entire truth but it served its purpose.

   "Yeah, Heaven forbid we might interrupt them," I said with a smile. 
Erin and Kay giggled.  Annie apparently didn't get the joke.  At this point
Erin leaned over to Kay.

   "By the way, do you want to tell us what happened last night?" she asked
quietly.  Kay blushed, smiled and then shrugged.

   "What does that mean?" Erin asked.  I listened to the conversation but
didn't say anything.  Annie seemed lost in her own thoughts.

   "It means Kimmy is a great friend and we had a great night together,"
Kay said and glared at Erin to drop the topic.

   "Can I ask one more question?" Erin asked, pushing it.

   "What?" Kay asked getting frustrated.

   "Would you do it again?" Erin asked.  It was a good question.  I waited
to see what Kay would say.  She opened her mouth to say something.  Then
stopped and closed her mouth again.  She thought for another minute before
answering.

   "I enjoyed the time with Kimmy.  I enjoyed what happened between Kimmy
and I.  It was wonderful.  If things came together again like they did this
time, where there was a willing woman to whom I was attracted, yeah, I
might do it again." She suddenly giggled.  "I'm still straight!" she said a
little louder.  "I was just experimenting." She looked at me and I nodded.
She had explained it well.  Then she turned to Erin.  "Would you do it? 
Would you make love with another woman?" She asked.  I could tell this
threw Erin a bit.  She was giving Kay the third degree.  Now Kay was
throwing it back at her.  Most likely Erin didn't expect Kay to admit
anything happened.  Erin sat up.  Annie and I just sat there quietly
listening.  Erin took a deep breath and considered her answer.  She looked
at the wall over Annie's head.

   "I've considered trying it once or twice.  It never happened, but I have
considered it," Erin admitted with a nod.

   "What about you Annie?" Kay asked.

   "I've never had any interest at all in trying it.  There's enough I
haven't experienced with a man still.  I don't need to get into women,"
Annie said with a smile.

   "How many men have you been with?" Kay asked her.

   "Two," Annie confessed quickly.  "Tony was my second.  He was the first
man I'd been with since I was fourteen.  That was a mistake.  Not waiting
that long," Annie corrected seeing how what she's said could be
interpreted. "But being with someone when I was fourteen."

   "You weren't with anyone after that?" I finally asked.  Finally stepping
into the conversation.  She just shook her head.

   "I talked big, that's all.  My reputation was built on rumors.  Rumors
that I started and no one ever corrected.  Most of them weren't true,"
Annie said quietly.  "The guys in that school all thought I was easy.  So,
they would ask me out and I would turn them down.  The next day at school,
I'd start the rumor that we had done something.  The guy thought if he
corrected the rumor he'd be seen as a loser.  Couldn't even get me in bed!"
Annie laughed.  "No one wanted to admit that I wouldn't sleep with them. 
So, the rumors continued," she said and looked at me.  "Except one," She
said quietly and turned to me.  "I'm sorry." My eyes were about to bulge
out of my head.  I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

   "What?" Kay asked.  Both Erin and she were sitting there staring at us
confused.  After a moment I pulled myself together.

   "A few days after Annie and I broke up.  Rumors were flying around
school that Annie and I had slept together.  I tried furiously to find the
source and to stop them.  But I never found out who it was." I turned to
Annie.  "You started it?" Annie nodded.

   "I am sorry," she said and bowed her head in shame.  I wasn't sure what
to say so I just sat there staring at her for a second.  I knew I should be
ticked at Annie for what she did but I just couldn't bring myself to be
anything more than slightly irritated.  It just didn't seem like it was
worth the effort anymore.  Things had changed.  High School was over.

   "It's okay.  I forgive you," I told her and smiled.  She smiled, leaned
over and squeezed my hand for a second.  Once that was done we all went
quiet for a few moments.  "So Kay, how many men have you been with?" Erin
finally asked.

   "I don't want to hear this," I said and started to stand up to leave.

   "Don't leave Jason," Kay said and grabbed my arm.  She then turned to
Erin.  "I won't discuss that," Kay said.  "And I think we should change
topics," Kay stated as I went back and sat down.  Erin stared at me for a
minute.  Apparently confused about why I would react like that.

   The four of us sat there and talked for about another half hour.  Annie
then announced that she was too tired to continue and got up.  "I'll sleep
on the couch if it's okay with you," she said.  I shrugged.  Kay shrugged.
Erin didn't say or do anything.  "Erin?" Annie asked.

   "Umm, just trying to figure out where I would sleep.  From what I've
heard that table isn't real comfortable."

   "Sleep in here with us," Kay said and got up.  "It's more comfortable
anyway.  Annie, you can sleep in here if you want too.  We've slept four in
this bed before.  It isn't great.  But it isn't terrible and it is much
more comfortable than that couch," Kay said.  Annie stopped and looked at
me.  I just shrugged.  "If you're worried about something happening, don't.
Jason and I don't normally put on shows.  If you're worried about Jason
taking advantage of you or something, sleep with Erin or I between you and
him," She said.  Erin and I both got up and I pulled the covers down
getting the bed ready.  Annie stood there for a second, not sure what to
do. I stripped down to my briefs and climbed into bed.  Erin followed and
curled up next to me, resting her head on my chest.  Kay followed suit and
climbed in on my other side.  Annie still stood there staring at us.  She
then climbed into the bed beside Erin.  I turned off the lights, gave Kay
and Erin a kiss, said good night to Annie and we all went to sleep.

   Chapter 36 - Day 39 - Tuesday I knew the next day's drive would be hell
on wheels.  It was only four hours to Salt Lake City but more than ten
hours to Cheyenne, which is where I had planned to stop.  I intended to
make Salt Lake the first day, but time caught up with me.  So now, I was
facing a ten and a half hour drive to catch up.  I studied the maps; the
area between Salt Lake and Cheyenne was so bare that I couldn't find a
place to stop.  When Annie used her computer later in the day to check, she
also had no success finding a closer campground.  It was probably a good
thing we could not find a place to stop.  If we had I may have taken it and
it would have added another day to the trip.  I told Erin I would have her
home in four days and I really wanted to prove I could do it.  So, I
carefully set my watch's alarm to go off at five AM.  It would be my
earliest start yet.

   When my watch alarm went off I awoke and found Kay awake lying beside
me. The alarm woke her up before it woke me.  Erin and Annie slept through
it.  I kissed Kay and then carefully slid out from under the covers and
climbed out of the bed.  Erin and Annie both grumbled and groaned and
shifted positions as I climbed out over the foot of the bed but neither
girl woke up.  Kay lay there and watched as I quietly got my clothes
together and left the bedroom.  I went into the bathroom and dressed.  I
retrieved a soda from the refrigerator and then went outside to unplug the
RV.  It was colder outside than I expected and since I was dressed only in
shorts and a T-shirt, I was shivering by the time I climbed into the
drivers seat and started the engine.

   I pulled the RV out onto the city roads and headed for the highway.  I
pulled the RV onto I-80 at just before 5:30 in the morning.  There was
hardly another car on the road.  I did notice a hell of a lot of
tractor-trailers rolling down the road.  Suddenly I wished I had a CB
installed in the RV.  I pulled in behind a convoy of about eight semi's
moving at a good clip of about 80 miles an hour, clicked on the cruise
control and sat back to relax.  Ten minutes later, Kay joined me.

   "What are you doing up?" I asked as she slid into the passengers seat.

   "I couldn't let you sit up here all by yourself.  Not at this time of
day," she responded and buckled herself in.  She had a bathrobe on.  I
couldn't tell what she was wearing under it.  She shivered and wrapped her
arms around herself.  "Is it me or is it cold?"

   "Yes it's cold," I said and reached over and turned up the heat.

   "How far are you planning to go?" Kay asked still shivering and rubbing
her hands up and down her arms to warm up.

   "I'm hoping to make it to Cheyenne tonight.  It's about ten and a half
hours away.  That's why I started so early," I told her.

   "Why don't you let Kimmy and I drive some?  We both know how.  That way
you won't be stuck up here all day and you won't get so tired," Kay
demanded.

   "You might get your wish," I told her and smiled at her.

   "You gotta admit Jason.  It's kind of silly for you to ruin your day
driving when there are four others in the RV who can help," she pointed out
driving her point home.

   "Okay, okay," I said surrendering to her assault.  "I'll drive until
about nine or ten and then let either you or Kimmy drive for a few hours.

   "Good.  I'll take over at nine.  I'll have Kimmy fix breakfast just
before that.  That way I can eat, then take over driving and then you can
go back and eat.  Kimmy can relieve me around lunchtime doing the same
thing.  You can take over for her once we get close to Cheyenne," Kay
declared.  She smiled at me and that was that.  We talked some over the
next few hours but for the most part we just watched the dark road slip by
beneath our wheels.

   At eight everyone started coming alive and Kay went back leaving me
alone for about an hour.  At exactly nine o'clock she returned dressed in
jeans and a T-shirt, and told me to pull over; it was her turn to drive.  I
pulled the RV over to the side of the road and climbed out of the drivers
seat.  She sat down and ordered me to go back and have some breakfast. 
That's how the day slid by; I rode most of the day.  Kay drove until noon
and then Kimmy took over.  An hour outside of Cheyenne, I took the wheel
once more and took the RV into the city.  I trusted Kimmy and Kay to drive,
but they hadn't done much driving in the cities.  Kay found us an RV park
and led me right to it.  I parked it and Lori went outside and plugged us
in.  We all sat down for dinner around five that evening.

   While we were still cleaning up from dinner Markie called.  It rather
surprised me and everyone else.  I answered the phone and he said hi.  I
recognized his voice immediately.  "What's up Marc?  Something wrong?" I
asked concerned that someone was sick or there had been an accident.

   "No, no, nothing like that.  I was just calling to find out if the
invite was still open?" he said.

   "What invite?" I asked.

   "You know, you invited me to come with you," Marc explained.

   "Did Mom and Dad say you could?" I asked.  He informed me they already
said that he could come as long as he understood that I was in charge.  I
then asked about his girlfriend, Joanne.

   "Jo and I broke up.  I was getting a little bored with her anyways," he
told me.

   "You broke up with her because you knew she wouldn't approve of you
leaving with me didn't you?" I asked.  I knew my kid brother.

   "No!" He insisted.  I knew I was right though.  He was desperate to come
with me.  He knew that Jo would never approve and would threaten to break
up with him if he did go.  He simply skipped the middle part and jumped
right to the end and broke up with her.  What a cad!

   "If the parental units are cool with it, so am I," I told him.  "I do
need to check on something before I can tell you that you can definitely
come.  I need to make sure it's okay with my traveling companions," I told
him.  He didn't seem to have a problem with that.  I told him I would call
the next day and give him the word.  We then hung up.  I considered his
request and decided to leave it up to the girls.  They were the one's who
would have to live with him.  I knew if he didn't listen to me, I'd just
beat the crap out of him.  I got up and went back.  They were all sitting
on the couch talking with the TV muted.

   "I have a question for you," I said pointing to Kay, Kimmy and Lori. 
"Erin, Annie, it won't affect you two too much," I informed them.  "That
was Marc, my kid brother.  When I last talked to him on the phone I
suggested that he should come travel with me for a while.  He loved the
idea but I told him he needed to get my parents permission and that he
should check with his girlfriend.  He sort of accomplished that.  My
parents have approved it.  He broke up with Joanne."

   "Mark broke up with Jo?" Annie asked sitting forward.  I nodded.  "Why?"

   "He wanted to come.  He knew she would never approve.  If he had done it
without her approval, she would have broken up with him.  He just beat her
to the punch," I smiled at Annie.

   "Jo will be devastated," Annie said and sat back again.  I just nodded.

   "He wants to come with us?" Kay asked.  I nodded.

   "I told him that I had to check with my traveling companions before I
could give a definite answer," I said.  That hung in the air for a moment
as the girls all considered it.

   "How old is he?" Lori asked.

   "He's a few months older than you," I told her and then looked at Kimmy.
Lori was smiling.  Kimmy wasn't.

   "What's he like?" Kay asked.

   "Markie's a nice kid," Annie reported.  "He and Jo have been together
for a long time.  What two years or so?" she asked and looked at me.

   "Just over two years," I told them.

   "Is he anything like Jason?" Kimmy asked.

   "He's cute, like Jason," she said smiling at me.  "But he hasn't learned
Jason's sensitivity.  He's a bit of a prick sometimes, especially with
girls.  Jo has been training him but, again like Jason, he's a bit thick
headed."

   "Hey!" I said feigning upset.  Annie just smiled at me.

   "He takes some getting used to," Annie finished.

   "I say we take him," Lori said gleefully.  Kimmy's face dropped.

   "Kimmy?" I asked quietly.

   "It's your RV Jason, your vacation.  You can do what you want.  I think
I'm gonna go take a shower," she said and got up and left.  Lori was
confused.  Kay and I both waited until Kimmy went into the bedroom before
we both yelled at Lori.

   "What the hell are you doing?" Kay yelled.

   "That was stupid Lori," I told her.  I then let Kay take over.

   "What?  What did I do?" Lori asked sincerely confused.  Annie looked
over at Lori.

   "You did a Mark," she told her.  "You broke up with your date for
someone else."

   "What?" Lori said, still confused.

   "Lori, your face told the whole story.  As soon as Jason mentioned Mark,
your face lit up.  Then you ask his age, find out he's only a few months
older than you and you practically jump up and down begging Jason to take
him," Kay explained.  "Think about how that makes Kimmy feel." Lori's face
dropped.

   "Kay, do you have a problem with Mark coming?" I asked.  She just shook
her head no and continued glaring at Lori.  "I'm gonna go talk to Kimmy," I
told them and got up and went back to the bedroom.  I didn't bother to
knock.  I went into the bedroom and closed the door.  Kimmy was lying on
the bed facing away from me.

   "I don't want to talk to you right now," She yelled when she heard me.

   "Why not?  What did I do to you?" I asked.  She turned, saw me and
smiled.

   "I'm sorry Jason, I thought you were Lori," she said.  I went over and
sat down behind her.  She rolled onto her back and crossed her arms across
her stomach.

   "Do you want to talk to me?" I asked.  She just shrugged.  "Are you in
love with her?" Again, she shrugged.  "Kimmy, talk to me," I said.  She
rolled onto her side again, facing away from me.

   "She hurt me Jason.  I thought we really had something.  Guess I was
wrong," Kimmy said quietly.

   "She loves you, you know?" I said and lay down next to her and rolled
over, faced her back, put my arm around her waist and cuddled up against
her small bottom.  "Lori's young.  You know that.  She's impetuous.  She's
a little nympho.  She loves sex.  She sees Mark as another possible
partner, someone who doesn't have the strings that I do.  Someone her own
age."

   "She's the only reason I'm still here Jason.  She's the only reason I
came back.  I love you and Kay but...  , " Kimmy said and hid her face in
the pillow.  She was crying.  I pressed myself against her and laid my head
alongside hers.  She pressed herself back against me and we just lay there
for a while.  She stopped crying and sat up.  I sat up beside her.  "I
think it would be best if I went home," she said.

   "Kimmy..."

   "No Jason," she said shutting me up.  "It's the right thing to do. 
She's too young for me anyway," Kimmy said and swung her legs over the bed.
She stood up and looked down at me.  "Will you take me home Jason?" I
closed my eyes and considered her request.

   "If you'll do two things for me," I said.  "One, talk to Lori and Kay
and two, wait until tomorrow morning to make a final decision.  Give
yourself some time to calm down and some time to talk to Kay and Lori. 
Don't make a rash decision.  We aren't going anywhere tonight anyway.  So
just give it twelve hours," I said.  She considered what I had said.

   "I'll talk to Kay.  And I'll wait until tomorrow morning if that's what
you want.  I don't know if I can talk to her though," she said and sat back
down on the bed.

   "I guess that'll do," I said.  I leaned over, kissed her cheek and got
up and went out to the living room.  Lori was missing when I got there. 
Kay could see the coming question and told me that Lori was crying in the
cab.  Erin and Annie were sitting at the table.  They had been talking but
quieted when I came out.

   "What did she say?" Kay asked when I sat down next to her.

   "Go talk to her, please," I said.  Kay nodded, kissed me and left for
the bedroom.  Erin stayed where she was but Annie came over and sat down
beside me.  She wrapped an arm around me and pulled me to her.  I laid my
head on her shoulder and lay there thinking for a moment.

   "What did she say Jason?" Annie asked after a moment.  I sat up and
leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees.  I shook my head, stood up
and went to talk to Lori trying to stay calm.  I slid into the drivers seat
beside her.  She was in the passengers seat; it was obvious she was upset.

   "What did Kimmy say?" She asked without looking at me.

   "Kay's talking to her," I said, avoiding the question.  I didn't see any
reason to upset Lori now.  It was Kimmy's right to tell her.

   "I didn't mean to upset her," Lori stated.

   "I know.  I think Kimmy knows that too.  I think you hurt her though. 
She has very strong feelings for you," I told her.

   "What do I do Jason?" Lori asked and turned to face me.

   "I don't know kid.  I really don't know," I told her.  She stared at me
for a moment, then turned away and burst into tears again.  I reached over
and rubbed her back for a moment, then left her alone.  I didn't have any
answers.

   Kay and Kimmy stayed in the bedroom the rest of the evening.  Erin,
Annie and I watched Jeopardy and some primetime TV in relative silence. 
Lori eventually came back and joined us but quickly fell asleep leaning
against my shoulder.  At ten PM we all decided to go to bed.  I was
considering what to do with Lori when Annie spoke up.  "Put her up in the
bed above the cab.  Erin and I will sleep on the couch.  I doubt Kimmy
wants to sleep with her," Annie said.  I agreed and picked up the small
girl and plopped her down in the bed.  Erin and Annie took the cushions off
the couch and started pulling out the foldaway bed after I passed them.  I
kissed each of them, told them good night and headed for the bedroom to
check on Kay and Kimmy.  I knocked gently and heard Kay tell me to come in.
I went in and found the two of them lying on the bed, on top of the covers,
side by side.  I closed the door and looked over at them.

   "I put Lori up in the bed above the cab.  Erin and Annie are sleeping on
the foldaway bed," I told them.  "You two are stuck with me."

   "Oh no, what a horrible fate," Kay said and patted the bed beside her.
Kimmy smiled at Kay's comment and I went and sat on the edge of the bed.

   "You doing okay?" I asked Kimmy.  She nodded and gave me a weak smile. I
tried to find something to say, but couldn't think of a single thing.  Kay
slid over and I lay down beside her.  We were now all side-by-side on our
backs.

   "Jace," Kimmy finally said.  I lifted my head up and looked over Kay at
her.  She looked me right in the eyes.  "Will you make love to me one more
time?" I opened my mouth, realized what she was saying and looked down at
Kay.  Kay closed her eyes and started crying.

   "Kimmy..." I started.

   "Jason, please don't," Kimmy said.  Kay grabbed my hand and I looked
down at her.  She looked into my eyes and gave me a small nod.  I looked
over at Kimmy, she too, had tears in her eyes.  I don't remember what was
going through my mind at that second.  I sat up, put my back to both of
them and slammed my fist into the mattress.

   "Damn it!" I yelled.  "First Erin vanishes on me.  Then Missy skips out.
Then Lynn runs away.  Now you and Erin want to go home.  I'm really
starting to hate this RV," I told them and for the first time in the whole
trip, a tear ran down my face.  Kay's hand was on my back.

   "If it wasn't for this RV, you never would have met any of them though,"
she told me.  I didn't want to listen to her at that moment.  Her hand on
my back had a calming effect on me though.  She rubbed my back for a few
minutes as I calmed down.  She sat up and whispered in my ear.  "Come to
bed.  Make love to us." She stayed there, her chin resting on my shoulder
as what she said sank in.  When it finally did, I looked at her.  She
smiled deviously at me and lay back down.  I couldn't help it, I laughed.
Kimmy heard what Kay said and was smiling.  Kay raised her eyebrows at me a
couple times and then slid over so there was room between them.  She then
patted the bed.  I was still upset but how could I refuse that offer.  I
stood up and stripped off my shirt.  Kay and Kimmy glanced at each other
and then began removing all their clothes.

   Once I was naked, I went over to the light switch.  Both the girls were
pulling their shorts and bikini's down.  I waited as the two girls slid
under the covers then I turned off the light and joined them, climbing over
Kay as I went.  I lay down between them and put an arm under each of them.
They each allowed me to pull them close.  They each rolled onto their side,
pressed their bodies against me and laid their head on my chest.  I looked
down at them just as Kay reached over me, slid her fingers through Kimmy's
hair to the back of her head and pulled Kimmy's face closer and I watched
as their lips met.  I watched, entranced, as Kimmy and Kay kissed.  Their
mouths opened and I could clearly tell that Kimmy's tongue was in Kay's
mouth.  They held each other's head and pressed their open mouths together.
When they broke apart they both looked up at me and smiled.  I kissed Kay
first; she opened her mouth and allowed my tongue in.  Then I turned to
Kimmy and kissed her.  She also opened her mouth and allowed my tongue in.
While I was kissing Kimmy I felt Kay's hand slide down over my stomach,
beneath the blanket and take hold of my semi-hard cock.  My whole body
tensed.

   Kimmy broke the kiss off and pulled away.  "Now, my love," Kay said. 
"What would you like to do to us?" She asked with a smile.  I swallowed
hard and wondered if what I thought was going to happen, was actually going
to happen.  Kay bit her lower lip.  Kimmy just smiled.  Kay continued
rubbing my now very hard cock.

   "I don't have the faintest," I told her, although I did have some ideas.

   "Good, because we do," Kay said.  She reached up, pulled my pillows out
from under my head and threw them on the floor.  My head fell onto the bed.
I lifted it up in time to see Kay smile and nod at Kimmy.  Kimmy giggled
and slid up my body, rubbing her small tits against my chest.  She put her
head down and kissed me.  Kay's hand stayed wrapped around my cock as Kay
kissed first one of my nipples and then the other.  She then started
kissing a trail towards my feet.  Kimmy pushed her tongue into my mouth.  I
wrapped a hand behind her head and held her lips to mine as Kay slid her
tongue into my belly button.  My body tensed a little and relaxed as she
continued pulling the blankets down and moving closer and closer to my rock
hard member.  Kimmy held my head and kept kissing me as Kay reached the
patch of hair around my cock.  Kay then lifted her head and took me into
her mouth.  Kimmy knew when it happened by my sharp intake of air.  That's
when Kimmy finally released my head and broke off the kiss.  She lay my
head down, got on all fours and straddled my waist so I couldn't see Kay.
Kimmy lowered herself and kissed me again with her hands running up my arms
to my shoulders.

   Kimmy lifted her head again and smiled down at me.  "I want you to..."

   "Don't tell him, just do it!" Kay pulled my cock from her mouth and
interrupted.  Kimmy giggled and shrugged.  Kay put my cock back in her
mouth and started sucking again.  Kimmy paused then climbed off of me,
turned herself around and scooted towards my head.  All I could do was
stare as her pink cunt and tiny little ass got closer and closer to my
face. Once her knees were even with my head, she lifted one leg and
straddled my head.  Her pink cunt was now right over my face.  I didn't
hesitate.  I grabbed her hips with both hands, pulled her down to my mouth
and used my tongue to part her small pink cunt lips.  Kimmy gasped as I did
my best to bury my face in Kimmy's hot, wet, genitals.  I lapped at her
until I found her small clit and used my tongue to tickle it.  Kimmy
moaned.

   Kay pulled her mouth off my cock and I felt her moving but couldn't see
her to tell what she was up to.  A second later I felt her leg brush my
cock, a second after that her hand was on my cock again and she aimed my
cock at her entrance.  I felt every inch as she lowered herself down on top
of me.  Kimmy leaned forward and I'm sure that she and Kay were kissing as
Kimmy rode my tongue and Kay rode my cock.  I used one hand and spread
Kimmy's cunt and stuck my whole mouth in.  Kimmy groaned and then screamed
as I sucked her clit and brought her to an orgasm.  Kay was riding my cock
slowly, taking me all the way into her and then sliding all the way back up
until only the tip of my cock was still inside her.  I didn't neglect
pretty little Kimmy though; I kept sucking her clit and sticking my tongue
into her.  She had two more good screaming orgasms before Kay pulled off of
me.  Then both girls got up.  "What, we aren't going to finish?" I asked,
breathing hard.  They both smiled and giggled.

   "Oh yeah, we're going to finish," Kay told me and I watched as the two
switched places.  Kimmy moved to my hips, bent down and took my cock, now
covered in Kay's juices, deep into her mouth.  She sucked it and licked it
clean.  Kay and I both watched.  Once Kimmy had gotten it all clean she
pulled away.

   "Doesn't anyone around here know how to finish a blowjob?" I asked as
Kimmy straddled my waist.

   "I don't want you to cum in my mouth," Kimmy said and guided me into her
tight wet vagina.  "Oh yes!" She groaned as she lowered herself down on top
of me.  I looked over at Kay and realized my tongue wasn't done working
either as Kay slipped her leg over my head and lowered her sweet cunt down
to me.  I wrapped an arm around her thigh and pulled her cunt to my tongue.
My tongue slid between her sweet, pink cunt lips and slid right up the very
passage my cock had just been in.  I tongue fucked her for a few moments
and then searched out her clit, I licked it and sucked it between my lips
while licking at it with my tongue.  Kimmy was tight and very wet.  She
rode me a lot harder and faster than Kay had and drove me to orgasm within
a few minutes.  I kept licking and sucking at Kay as I shot wad after wad
deep into Kimmy.

   Once I was done, I collapsed onto the bed, needing to get some fresh
air. I was happy.  Kimmy had at least two orgasms while on my face, another
one while on my cock and Kay had at least one orgasm and, of course, I had
gotten off.  Kimmy collapsed on top of me and rested her head on my chest
as Kay climbed off and reclined beside me.  Kimmy lay on me as she got her
breathing under control, by which time I was soft again, she then rolled
off of me.  Kay kissed my lips and then sat up, took my flaccid penis, now
covered in Kimmy's cunt juices and sucked it into her mouth.  Kay proceeded
to clean my cock off using her lips and tongue.  She then lay down.  I
pulled both girls close and held them.  Kimmy kissed my cheek and said
"Thank you Jason.  It was wonderful." Kimmy laid down, used my shoulder as
a pillow.  I looked down at Kay, she kissed me, told me she loved me and
went to sleep too.

   "I love you too," I said and kissed Kay's head and went to sleep.

   Chapter 37 Day 40-42 Wednesday, Thursday, Friday The next morning I woke
up and Kay was gone.  Kimmy was still sleeping beside me; I curled up
against her and kissed her ear.  She stirred, smiled and opened her eyes.

   "Hiya gorgeous," I whispered into her ear.

   "Good morning," she said quietly.  Then she pressed back against me,
pulled up the covers, tucked them under her chin and closed her eyes again.
I slid my available hand under the blankets and wrapped it around her
waist. I slid the hand up and began playing with one of her small breasts.
"Umm," was all she said.  I kissed her ear, her cheek and shoulder a number
of times and continued to play with her breast before I realized she had
gone back to sleep.  I lay there with her for a little while and then
carefully rolled out of bed.  I slid on a pair of briefs and a pair of
shorts and went to the bathroom.  As usual, I didn't bother to knock; I
just went in.  Annie screamed when I opened the door and then I quickly
shut it.

   "Sorry Annie." I didn't get a response.  I went out to the living room
area.  Kay was cooking breakfast dressed in denim cut offs and a T-shirt. I
wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her good morning and then sat
down with Erin at the table.  Lori was nowhere to be seen.  "Where's Lori?"

   "She's awake but still in bed," Kay told me.  I looked over and saw that
the curtain above the cab was pulled shut.  I figured she was still upset
about last night and decided to leave her alone.

   "Sleep well?" I asked as I turned to Erin.

   "That bed really isn't that bad.  It's pretty comfortable," Erin
informed me.  "So where are we headed today?"

   "I don't know yet," I told her and Kay and I exchanged looks.  I had
made plans to go to Lincoln, Nebraska that day.  But with the Kimmy thing,
it would be easier just to go south and drop her at Aspen and then head
east.  That was better than continuing east and basically forcing Kimmy
stay with us for another two weeks or turning around later and going back.
I knew from past experience, it was only a few hours from Cheyenne to
Denver.  I put my arm around Erin and waited for Kay to bring breakfast.

   Annie came out of the shower a few minutes later and scolded me for not
knocking, I promised I would do better and she let it go but continued to
shoot me an occasional dirty look as the four of us ate breakfast.  Kay
went over and asked Lori if she was eating.  Lori gave a very definite,
loud "no" and pulled the curtain back into place.  We left her alone after
that.

   Kimmy came out about thirty minutes later.  She just fixed herself some
toast and coffee for breakfast and sat down at the table with the rest of
us.  Kay and I went over and sat down across from her.  She looked at us
and smiled knowing what we were going to ask.  "Things are getting too
intense here guys.  I need to go home," was all she said.

   I nodded and got up; I didn't bother to ask Lori.  I just did it myself.
I unplugged us, made sure everything was picked up and jumped into the
drivers seat.  Looking over the map, I found the highway we needed and
headed out down I-25.  The trip to Aspen took only five and a half hours.
We pulled up outside the same house where we had dropped off Kimmy a few
days earlier and everyone but Lori said good-bye to her.  When we were
finished Kimmy went over to the bed where Lori was still laying and the two
talked quietly for a number of minutes.  Kimmy finally kissed Lori on the
cheek and left with her stuff.  It was almost four when we pulled away from
the curb where we had dropped off Kimmy.

   We discussed what to do next.  The final decision was made that we would
go to Denver and stay there for the night.  Lori came out of hiding once
Kimmy was gone so when we parked she ran out to plug us in.  Annie and I
sat down and figured out the best path into New York.  We finally realized
the easiest way was to go north again up to Lincoln and then east into New
York just south of the Great Lakes.  We figured we could be in Erin's
hometown in three days.  During this conversation Erin offered to stay with
us so we could go to Virginia first.  Lori quickly pointed out that if she
stayed, the RV would become crowded again with Markie joining us.

   "Speaking of that, Jason," Kay interrupted before it could evolve into
an argument.  "What kind of parents name a kid Mark Marcison?" I laughed.

   "Markie is a nickname.  His real name is Rollen.  It's a family name but
he hates it.  So he used our last name and adopted the nickname of Mark or
Markie," I explained.

   The rest of the night passed reasonably quiet.  We watched TV.  When I
got up to get a soda, Lori followed me and once away from the others she
asked if it would be okay if she slept in the big bed with me that night. I
told her I didn't mind.  Why would I?  I got my soda and sat back down. 
Lori, was smiling for the first time all day; she sat down on my lap while
Kay was seated next to me.  Annie sat on the other side of Kay and Erin was
reclined on the love seat across the aisle reading a book.  Erin went to
bed first and asked where she should sleep.  I told her she was welcome to
crash in the big bed or sleep above the cab.  I explained that Lori would
be sleeping with me in the big bed.  Erin chose the bed above the cab. 
When Lori fell asleep on my lap, Kay and I carefully carried her back to
bed and tucked her in.  Kay, Annie and I moved to the table in the kitchen
where we talked and played Gin Rummy.  At about midnight we all went to
bed. Kay and I went to the bedroom and Annie slept on the couch.  She
didn't bother to pull out the hide-a-bed.

   The next morning Kay and I woke up first.  We kissed and played around
for a while and then we got up, showered together and made love under the
water.  Kay then went out and unplugged us and we pulled out and headed for
Lincoln, Nebraska.  It was almost an eight-hour drive from Denver to
Lincoln but we made good time and arrived just before three that afternoon.
Lori went out and plugged us in and I went to take a nap before dinner. 
All the driving was starting to get to me.  I wondered if I should stay
home for a few days, catch up on some sleep, and spend time with the
family. I decided to wait and see how things went.

   When Kay woke me up about five I found Annie laying next to me, fast
asleep.  "She came back and lay down about thirty minutes after you did,"
Kay told me and then left.  I looked at the sleeping Annie and gently shook
her awake.

   "Huh, what?" Annie grumbled as she woke up.

   "It's time to wake up sleeping beauty.  Time for dinner," I told her
softly.  She opened her eyes halfway and smiled at me.

   "Haven't done this in a few years huh?" she said with a smile.  I
laughed as I thought of the many, many nights we had spent together.

   "Nope we haven't," I told her and bent down to kiss her cheek.  She
turned her head suddenly and I kissed her lips.  She wrapped her arm around
my head and held my lips to hers.  When I pulled away I looked down at her.

   "It's been a while." Annie shrugged then sat up and swung her legs off
the bed.  I did the same and we both stood up and went out to dinner.  With
Kimmy gone, the job of cooking had fallen to Kay with help from Erin and
Lori.  Annie and I sat down while Erin and Lori served.  Kay slid in beside
me and Erin sat next to Annie.  Lori, once again, sat on the couch.  As we
started to eat, I looked at Kay.

   "You never answered my question the other day," I told her and she
looked at me.  "Do you have a problem with Mark joining the group?" I asked
again.  "I'd like to call him tonight and let him know one way or the
other." Kay thought about this for a moment and spent some time looking at
Lori who was waiting anxiously for the answer.  Lori knew that if Kay
didn't approve, I would never let Mark come with us.

   "No," Kay finally answered and Lori smiled.

   "Okay then, I'll call him after dinner," I told them and we all went
back to eating.

   After finishing the meal, Annie volunteered to do the dishes and I went
forward and called home.  Mom answered, not good.

   "Hi Mom," I said.

   "Jason.  Where are you?" She asked.  Strangely she used the same voice
she used when I was late for curfew.

   "Nebraska of all places.  I'm heading for New York and then I'm coming
home for a few days to drop off Annie and maybe pick up Mark if you and Dad
approve," I told her.

   "We've already told Mark that he could go as long as he understands that
you're in charge.  Why are you going to New York?" she asked.  I dreaded
this moment.  This was my big chance though.  I had to take it.

   "I'm taking a friend home Mom," I told her.

   "Who?  I thought it was just you and Annie?"

   "No Mom.  It's not.  I've made some friends along the way.  A few are
traveling with me," I told her and waited for the explosion.

   "Who are these friends Jason?" She asked.

   "Well, the one I'm taking to New York is named Erin.  She called you a
couple of weeks ago looking for me."

   "Yes, I remember," my mother said.

   "Well, I met Erin just a couple days after I left home.  She was going
to Florida with her boyfriend.  They had a fight and he abandoned her.  I
offered her a ride.  We became good friends," I explained.

   "I see.  If she was traveling with you, why did she call?"

   "She had gone home.  She was having some problems at home though and
asked if I could come get her for a while.  I'll give you all the details
when I get there.  Anyway, she's ready to go back home now so I'm taking
her home.  She lives in upstate New York."

   "Do you like her?" Mothers!

   "I did for a while, yeah.  But now we're pretty much just friends," I
said.

   "Did you have sex with her?" Mom asked, all but whispering the word sex.

   "Mom, did you and Dad have sex last night?" I asked.

   "That's not your business," my mother stated emphatically.

   "And what I have or have not done with Erin or any other girl, isn't
really any of your business," I said, getting to the point.

   "Okay, what about the other girls?  Have there been other girls?"

   "A number of them Mom.  I'm in love with one of them," I told her and
pushed the curtain closed to shut myself off from the rest of the RV.

   "Oh really.  May I ask her name?"

   "Her name is Kayley.  She's from Colorado," I told her, giving her as
little information as possible.

   "Is she traveling with you?"

   "Yeah," I said curtly.

   "Jason, didn't you tell me one time when we talked that you weren't
going to pick up hitchhikers?"

   "Mom, I've probably done a lot of things that you wouldn't approve of
while I've been out here.  I did pick up a couple hitchhikers but honestly,
most of them I've met while I was stopped.  I wanted someone to travel with
me.  It's kind of boring traveling alone," I explained.

   "So how many traveling companions have you had?"

   "Do you want details?"

   "That's up to you," she said.  I knew she would never be satisfied with
just a number.  She would want to know how many guys, how many girls, maybe
even names.  So I gave them to her.  I went through each and every girl I'd
had travel with me, starting with Erin and ending with Annie.

   "How many are with you now?" She asked when I finished.

   "Right now, there are four, Kayley, her little sister Lori, Erin and
Annie.  I'm dropping Erin off in New York in a few days.  Annie will be
getting off when we reach Virginia and, with your permission, Mark will be
joining us.  That will leave Mark, Kay, Lori and me unless Annie decides to
stick around," I said.

   "I was fine with Mark going with you when I thought it was just you. 
But if you have others traveling with you, I'm not so sure."

   "Mom, Mark is almost seventeen.  He isn't going to do or see anything
with me that he couldn't do or see at home with Jo," I told her.

   "That isn't the point Jason.  I know Joanne.  I know what kind of girl
she is.  I don't know these girls," she told me.

   "You'll get the chance to meet them when we swing by there," I told her.

   "Where do you plan to put them all?  We don't have room for all those
girls."

   "They can sleep in the RV.  I trust them.  I'll probably sleep in the RV
for all that it matters." I told her.  This seemed to surprise her.

   "Why would you do that?  Why wouldn't you stay here, with us?" she
asked.

   "Because I don't think you would let me be with Kay," I told her flat
out.

   "So you are sleeping with her?" My mother said.  She was good.  I
decided to go for it.

   "Mom, I've slept with almost every girl I mentioned and a few who never
rode with me," I told her.  I couldn't tell her about Lori.

   "I see," she said.  "Is...  does Mark know all this?" She asked.

   "He knows I have some friends with me," I said.  "Lori, Kay's little
sister is just a year younger than him."

   "Lori isn't eighteen?"

   "No."

   "You haven't had sex with her have you?" I knew it was coming.  I led
her right to it.

   "No Mom.  I haven't." My only lie up to that point.

   "When will you be here?" She asked suddenly changing the topic.

   "It'll be five days to a week if things go right," I told her.

   "Okay, We'll be waiting."

   "Is Mark going to be allowed to come?" I asked.

   "I don't know.  I will need to discuss this with your father," she said.
I could tell she was almost in tears.

   "Tell Mark I called.  Tell him I will be there in five or six days.  If
he's allowed to come, he needs to start getting ready," I told her.  We
said good-bye and hung up.  I took a deep breath and wondered if there had
been a better way.  Kay had recommended telling my father.  Letting him
tell my mother.  It had just come pouring out of me though.  I wondered if
they would take away the RV or maybe just pull my financing.  After a few
minutes to cool down, I went back and sat down to watch TV with the others.

   At about nine, Kay, Lori, Annie and I all sat at the table and played a
game of strip poker.  Erin chose not to partake and instead read her book
and then went to bed.  Once again, she slept over the cab.  Not so
unexpectedly with Kimmy gone, Lori absolutely dominated the game.  Annie
went out first, then me and finally Kay.  Lori had lost enough to be down
to her panties though.  It was a comfort to all of us losers that she
hadn't won by much.  It was kind of strange seeing Annie sitting across
from me totally naked.  We had never played strip poker together before.

   After the game was finished we all agreed it was time for bed.  I got up
to go to bed but all three of them just sat there.  "What's up?" I asked
when I turned around and saw them all sitting there.  Annie stood up and
faced me.  I couldn't help myself, I looked down and let my eyes wander her
slender little body.  Her long wavy brown hair, blue eyes, slender
shoulders, lemon sized breasts with large nipples sticking out, a flat
belly leading down to a thick bush of hair at her hips and long sexy legs.
After looking her over, I looked up and locked eyes with her.  "What?" I
asked and swallowed and hoped that none of them noticed my cock was
growing. Kay and Lori just sat there watching us.  Annie took a step
forwards and was only inches from me.  I looked her in the eye and I knew.
I'm not positive but I think a tear formed in her eye.  I swallowed hard
and held out my hand and she took a hold of it.  I looked over quickly at
Kay and she smiled at me.  I nodded and led Annie back to the bedroom.

   Annie pushed the bedroom door closed behind us and I led her to the edge
of the bed.  I turned to her, took hold of her other hand and looked her in
the eye.  "Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked.  She had her head
down and started to giggle.  I looked down and knew she was staring at my
hard on.  "Too small for you?" I asked and we both started laughing.

   "The size of a penis is not that important," she said.  I looked at her
slightly confused.  "That's what they told us girls in Sex Ed.  class," we
laughed again.  She took a deep breath and then spoke again.  "Jason.  I
want to sleep with you.  I don't know if anything else will happen.  But I
do want to be with you.  Is that okay?" I smiled and nodded.  She stepped
up to me, put her arms around my waist and hugged me.  I wrapped my arms
around her and held her.  She looked up at me and our eyes locked again.  I
bowed my head and gently kissed her lips.  She wrapped one arm around my
neck and held my lips to hers.  We unwrapped ourselves from each other,
turned off the lights and got into bed.  I pulled her close and she laid
her head on my upper arm and we talked quietly.  She eventually let it slip
that while I was on the phone with my mother she asked Kay about sleeping
with me.  I told her about the phone call and she tried to soothe me and
make me more confident about Mark's coming.  She really didn't think my
parents would take away the money or the RV.  We kissed a little, I rubbed
her back and then we floated off to sleep together.

   The next morning I lay in bed holding Annie for quite a while.  I could
feel her breasts pressed against my chest.  I could feel the heat from her
against my thigh.  Getting rid of a morning hard on is hard enough without
that kind of torture.  I kissed the top of her head a few times and she
began to come around.  I kissed her again and she moaned.  She opened her
eyes, ran her hand over my chest and stomach and looked up at me.  She
smiled and I couldn't stop myself from smiling back.  She was beautiful. 
She rolled on top of me, placed her hot cunt over my hard on and looked
down at me.  "Good morning," she said softly.  I moved my hands to her hips
and was about to cum just from her warmth since my cock was pressed between
us.

   "Good morning Angel," I said, using the term of endearment I had
employed when we were dating.  "How are you feeling?" She rubbed herself
against me and I had to close my eyes to keep control.

   "How do you think I'm feeling?" she asked.  I laughed.  She lowered
herself and for the first time in years she kissed me.  Not a friendly
kiss, but a passionate kiss.  "I forgot how good a kisser you are," she
said with a smile.  She lifted herself up off of me, reached between her
legs and wrapped her hand around my throbbing cock.  I couldn't do anything
but watch as she aimed it at her entrance and lowered herself.  I watched
my cock vanish behind her thick brown bush.  "Hmmm," is all she said as she
slid down the final inch of my throbbing cock.  She placed both hands on my
chest and lowered her top down and kissed me again.  Still kissing, she
slowly slid up and down on my cock.

   "Annie, I'm not going to last long," I told her.  I could feel an orgasm
already building up inside me.

   "Well, in that case," she said.  She wiggled her hips a little, raised
herself a half inch, wiggled a little more.  Then my cock touched something
deep inside her, she inhaled sharply, her eyes closed and she began to
slide up and down, rubbing the tip of my cock over that same point over and
over again.  "Oh yeah," she moaned.  She kissed me again and continued to
rub the tip of my cock over her G-spot.  I could feel her juices flowing
over and around my cock.  Her cunt tightened and seemed to suck at it.  I
couldn't stop myself anymore and I shot my load inside her.  Apparently my
ejaculate made it even better and she screamed into my mouth.  Once we had
both finished she laid down on top of me, kissed me one final time and laid
there with my cock still inside her.

   "Where did you learn that?" I asked.

   "Tony found the spot and after a while I got pretty good at getting his
cock right on it.  I don't know what it is but I like it." She lifted her
head and smiled at me.  "It's instant orgasm." She lay back down on me and
we stayed there for another fifteen minutes.  By the time we got up, my
cock was soft again and had fallen out of her.  She moved first and got out
of bed then she stopped and turned back to me.  "You must have needed it
badly.  You shot gallons into me.  It's starting to drip out.  I'm gonna go
take a shower." She kissed me once more and then started to leave.  At the
door she stopped and turned back to me.  "By the way, it was fantastic. 
Thank you." Then she was gone.  I got up, dressed and headed forward.  Kay
and Lori were eating breakfast; Erin was still asleep above the cab.

   "Good morning," I said to them and grabbed a biscuit that was sitting on
the stove, broke it in half and smeared some grape jelly over it.

   "You're in a good mood this morning," Kay said.  "Did you have fun last
night?"

   "I slept last night," I told her.  "But we had fun this morning," I told
her and slid in next to her.  I kissed her cheek and started eating.

   "Was she worth the wait?" Kay asked.

   "Why do you ask?" I shot back.

   "Just curious.  Where are we going today?"

   "Chicago.  It's just over eight hours," I told her and got up and got
myself a Pepsi.

   "When do I get some?" Lori asked.  I just smiled at her.  I opened the
soda, took a huge swallow from it and finished off the jelly biscuit.

   "I'm gonna get going.  Lori, you want to unplug us?" I asked.  She
nodded, got up and slid on some sandals.  I went up front and started doing
checks on the RV.  Kay joined me a few minutes later.

   "So, are you in love with her?" Kay asked immediately.

   "No," I said and looked her in the eye.  "I enjoyed having sex with her
but I'm in love with you," I told her.  Lori knocked on my window and gave
an okay sign.  I nodded and she circled in front of the RV to get in.  I
waited until I heard the door shut and then I started the engine and
started pulling out.  "Are you mad?" I asked as I pulled the RV from its
spot.

   "No.  I gave you permission," she said.  "By the way, we could use a
night in a hotel.  We need some laundry done," she told me.  I nodded and
turned the huge RV onto the highway entrance.

   "Find us a nice hotel in Chicago.  It will probably be Erin's last night
with us." Kay nodded and pulled out the travel brochures, found some hotels
in Chicago and started calling looking for reservations.

   Kay hung up after making reservations for a suite at a deluxe hotel in
downtown Chicago and was getting up when the phone rang.  She stopped in
her tracks and turned back to the phone.  "Should I answer it?" She asked.

   "Go for it.  If it's Kimmy, tell her I ain't coming back until after I'm
done on the East coast." She nodded and picked up the phone.

   "Hello." I couldn't hear who was on the other end.  "This is Kayley. 
May I ask who this is?" Kay asked.  "Oh hi.  Just a minute, I'll put you on
speaker, Jason's driving right now," she told them.  I looked over at her,
trying to figure out whom she was talking to.  "Oh, Okay," she said and sat
down without ever touching the speakerphone button.

   "Who is it?" I asked.  Tired of waiting and curious as Hell.  I knew no
one would be calling for Kay, except for maybe Kimmy.  But if it was Kimmy,
Kay would have told me.  Kayley just held up a finger to tell me to wait.

   "Um, a little more than two weeks," Kay told whoever it was on the
phone. Kay smiled and turned bright red at something the person on the
other end said.  "I love him too.  Very much," she said and looked at me.

   "Oh fuck me!" I said as I realized who was on the phone.

   "I think Jason just figured out who was on the phone," Kay told my
mother.  There was a pause and then Kay said.  "Yes.  He's told me.  He's
told me about you and your family also.  I look forward to meeting all of
you," Kay told my mother.  I was so tempted to reach down and put the
conversation on speaker.  "Trust me Mrs.  Marcison, he's been a perfect
gentlemen to all of us," Kay said into the phone.  "Yes, he asked if we had
a problem with it.  I was a little hesitant at first but from what Jason
and Annie have told us about him, I think he'll be okay." I realized my
mother had asked her about Mark joining the trip.  "Mrs.  Marcison, you've
raised a wonderful son and he's become a wonderful young man," Kay told
her. "Just a minute.  I'll put you on speaker," Kay said and pushed the
button to turn on the speaker.

   "Hello Mom," I said once I saw the light come on.

   "Hello Jason.  I had a lovely talk with your...  what is she, your
girlfriend?" Mom said.  Kay giggled, kissed my cheek and went into the
back.

   "It works as well as anything else," I told my mother.

   "I thought maybe you would prefer lover or something different."

   "Mom, please," I said not wanting to hear it.

   "Okay, I just called to tell you that your father and I discussed all of
this last night and we have decided that Mark can go with you.  Like you
said, he won't do anything with you that he couldn't just as easily do
here."

   "Good," is all I said.

   "Just so you know, I won't be here when you arrive and unless you plan
to stay a few days, we probably won't get to see each other."

   "Where are you going?" I asked.

   "Your Great Aunt Karen is sick.  I'm going to go down to North Carolina
and take care of her for a few weeks until Barbara can get off work and
come down," she said.  Barbara is Great Aunt Karen's daughter.  Barbara is
one of my mother's favorite cousins.  They were about the same age and had
grown up together.  At the time Barbara was living and working out in Texas
somewhere as nurse.

   "Okay Mom, We'll see how the visit goes.  If things go okay I might hang
around or maybe just come down and see you for a few days in North
Carolina."

   "I know you've never liked Aunt Karen but the doctors don't really
expect her to live much longer," Mom told me.

   "What's wrong with her?" I asked.  She was right, I had never liked Aunt
Karen, and she always smelled like booze.  She did some things when I was a
kid that made me dislike her right into adulthood.

   "She has liver disease.  Her liver has completely shut down.  She's on
dialysis three times a week right now.  They don't expect her to live more
than a few months"

   "Okay.  Let me know."

   "Okay.  Be careful Jason," she said.  "I love you." She hung up quickly.
The only time my mother ever got sentimental like that was when there was a
birth, a death or one upcoming or a big deal coming up.  Normally, she was
very cool about things like that.  I pushed the button and hung up the cell
phone and turned my full attention to driving.  Ten minutes later Kay
rejoined me and I told her that Mark had final permission to come with us.
Kay smiled.  The rest of the drive to Chicago went peacefully.  One of the
girls was in the passengers seat constantly.  They switched off.

   Annie took the seat as I pulled into Chicago.  She used her laptop to
get us directions right to the hotel.  She told me exactly where to turn
and how far to go before turning again.  It was almost exact.  We found the
hotel with no problem.  We checked in and carried our bags and laundry up
to the room.  We dropped the bags on the floor and left them there and went
down to the restaurant for dinner.  After dinner we went back to the rooms.
Kay, Lori and I went and did the clothes.  When the first load was done I
took it back to the room and Erin and Annie and I folded the clothes and
separated them while Lori and Kay continued to watch over the rest of the
clothes still in the machines.  Since we had gotten in so early, we had
arrived just after four in the afternoon, we managed to get all the clothes
done, have dinner and still be gathered in front of the TV in the large
living room area before seven thirty when Jeopardy came on.

   "So, are we playing strip jeopardy again?" Annie asked as we all sat
down.

   "Let's play for something good tonight," Lori stated.

   "Such as?" Kay and I asked at the same time.

   "Whoever wins gets to fuck the person of their choice?" Annie put in
happily.

   "Yeah!" Lori screamed.  Kay and I both laughed.  We knew that Annie's
comment was meant to be sarcasm.  "Better yet, whoever wins gets to do
whatever he or she wants with the others."

   "I'm not playing," Erin stated.  We all laughed.

   "Lori," Annie said and waited until the girl turned to her.  "Let's say
Jason doesn't win.  He's not otherwise busy and comes to you and asks if
you want to go to bed, would you refuse him?" Lori shook her head no. 
"Okay, you'll already do almost anything Jason asks.  So will Kay and so
will I, so what does Jason have to gain?  And If one of us wins, who are we
going to take the most interest in?  Do you think Erin or I would want to
have sex with you?  Watch you do a striptease?" Lori thought about all this
for a second.  "The bet is silly.  We already have that situation," Annie
finished.  Kay and I smiled as the logic sunk in to the young girls mind.

   "Okay fine, but I still want to play for something good," Lori insisted.
Erin stood up at this point and headed for one of the bedrooms.

   "I'm going to change and go down to the bar.  I can't drink but I might
find someone to dance with," Erin stated and left the room.  We all
watched, but no one said a thing.  Jeopardy came on and Kay turned up the
TV.  We all decided, if there was going to be a bet, it would be decided
during the commercials.  No bet was ever made.  Erin left about ten minutes
into Jeopardy.  The night passed quietly and we went to bed.  I slept with
Kay.  Lori and Annie slept in separate beds in the other room and Erin
didn't sleep in our hotel room at all.

   Chapter 38 Day 43-44 Friday, Saturday I set the alarm clock in my hotel
room to go off half an hour before we wanted the others to be up.  So, the
alarm started buzzing at seven thirty the next morning,.  It was raining
outside but the room was still well lit by natural light.  After turning
off the alarm I rolled over and found Kay still asleep as I hoped she would
be.  I lifted myself up onto an elbow and leaned forward and kissed her
cheek.  I slid my hand under the sheets and rubbed her round bottom
occasionally sliding a finger right between her ass crack.

   She wiggled a few times as I tickled the sensitive skin near the crack.
"What are you doing?" She asked suddenly without opening her eyes.  I
kissed her freckle-covered cheek and smiled.

   "Doing my best to get your motor going," I told her.  Kay giggled,
reached behind her, removed my hand from her butt cheek and then rolled
onto her back, opened her eyes and looked up at me.  She was smiling.  She
released my hand and wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled my head
down until our lips met.

   "Well, you did it," she stated when the kiss broke off.  "Now you have
to make love to me."

   "Oh what a horrible fate," I said with a big smile, using the line she
had used on me night before last, and rolled on top of her.  I pinned her
hands above her head and kissed her.  "Close your eyes and don't move," I
told her, she closed her eyes and I started slowly working my way down her
body.  I kissed her from her head all the way down to her toes, avoiding
her pubic region.  After kissing each toe individually on both feet, I
started my way back up.  Kay was moaning lightly as I rained kisses down on
her.  I moved back up her legs, over her knees and up the inside of her
thighs.  She was still moaning softly when I slid my fingers into the small
mat of red hair at her hips.  I slid my thumb between her legs and lightly
rubbed the soft, tender pink skin that covered her sex.  I felt her tense
for a second as I did so.  I used my other fingers and spread her pink cunt
lips, found her clit and sucked it between my lips.

   I did everything in my power to get her as turned on as possible.  I
tortured her with pleasure for almost an hour before I finally put my cock
inside her and slowly, gently made love to her.  When we finished we lay
there together and caught our breath then got up, showered together and got
dressed.

   Annie saw to it that Lori and Erin had breakfast while Kay and I just
had some orange juice.  Then the five of us loaded up the RV and hit the
road moving east once more.  It was a ten and a half hour drive to Oswego,
New York, Erin's hometown.  I had no intention of keeping her away from
home for another day.

   I only stopped twice that day.  Both times were at highway rest stops to
go to the bathroom.  None of us ever left the RV.  Kay would bring me sodas
and food and I would just keep the RV pointed east on I-80.  I asked Erin
during that day, where she slept the night before, but I never got a good
answer.

   When we hit the outskirts of Oswego, it was just after seven in the
evening.  Luckily, it was summer so we still had over an hour of daylight
left to find our way through the city and to the house of Erin's parents.
Erin first showed us the way to Oswego's only RV park and from there,
showed us the way to her parents' home.  Her parents weren't home when we
arrived.  Erin seemed happy about that.  She was sure her parents would
want to meet her "little friends." That's what Erin said her mother would
have called us.  We all said good-bye, I gave her a final kiss; this time
she gave me her phone number, an e-mail address and her home address.  She
hugged each of the girls before we got back in the RV and drove away.  Erin
stood on the curb and watched as we disappeared around the corner.  And
then there were four.

   We got back to the RV park with little trouble.  We checked in, I pulled
us in and Lori hooked us up.  The evening was rather subdued.  Lori and Kay
had both been affected by Kimmy and Erin's departure as was I.  Annie
hadn't known either of them for very long but she understood that none of
us were really up for fun and games.  We sat around most of the night,
pretty much ignoring each other and watching TV.  The only outstanding
moment of the evening occurred when I got up and Lori came over to ask if
she could have me to herself tonight.  She stated she was very lonely and
needed some attention.  I told her I would consider it.  "You mean you need
to ask Kay?" Lori said and walked away.  I stood there and stared after her
for a moment.  I'm still not sure why she was mad.  Was she mad that I
wanted to ask Kay, or was she mad that Kay might say no.

   I went back and sat down again.  I didn't ask Kay then.  I waited.  Lori
ended up falling asleep before I went to bed.  Annie was on the left end of
the couch, I was next to her, Kay next to me and Lori was sleeping curled
up beside Kay.

   "Jason," Annie spoke up.  "Where should I sleep tonight?"

   "That's up to you Annie," Kay told her.

   "Uh," I started and both Kay and Annie looked at me.  I turned to Kay.
"Lori asked if she could sleep with me," I told them.

   "So?" Kay said.

   "She wants it to be just her and I," I said.  This made Kay raise her
eyebrows.  "I didn't say I'd do it, I said I'd think about it," I told Kay.

   "Do you want to?" Kay asked.  If the idea bothered her, it didn't show
in her face or voice.

   "Would you..." I started.

   "Jason, it's up to you," Kay emphasized.

   "I think Kimmy's leaving has..."

   "I understand Jason," Kay said cutting me off.  "I miss Kimmy too.  But
I still have you for comfort.  She doesn't.  It's up to you." I bent over
and kissed Kay on the lips.

   "One night," I said when I pulled away.  "I love you," I whispered.  Kay
smiled and worded I love you back to me.  I kissed Annie's cheek and stood
up.  I moved in front of Lori, slid one arm under her knees and the other
behind her neck and lifted her up and carried her to the bed.

   "Looks like it's you and me on the couch tonight Annie," Kay said.  I
heard the two girls giggle behind me but I didn't look back.

   I carried Lori to the bedroom and gently laid her down on the bed.  She
was still sleeping.  I sat her up gently and pulled her T-shirt off over
her head, exposing the small white bra.  I then took hold of the elastic
waistband of her sweatpants and pulled them down and off over her small
feet.  I pulled the blankets up over her and then circled the bed,
undressed and climbed into bed beside her.

   The next morning I woke up alone.  I sat up and looked around.  I really
expected Lori to still be in the bed.  I had expected to be awakened and
told it was my job to have sex with her over and over again if at all
possible.  Instead, there was nothing, no one.  I got out of bed, dressed
quickly and headed forward.  I found Kay and Lori both sitting at the
table. Annie was still asleep on the couch and the curtains were still
drawn around the bed above the cab.  "What's going on?" I asked the two
girls as I poured myself a cup of coffee.  Kay stood up and came over to
me. She kissed my cheek and said good morning and then whispered in my ear.

   "I started this morning," Kay said.  I looked at her, slightly confused,
unsure of what she was talking about.  "I finished my thing of birth
control pills yesterday," she said with a smile.

   "Your period?" I asked quietly.  She nodded.

   "And while were talking about things like that, I need to stop at a
pharmacy.  A Wal-Mart pharmacy would be best.  They have my prescription."

   "No problem.  We should be able to find one in this city somewhere. 
When Annie wakes up, we'll see if she can find one on her computer." Kay
just nodded.  Kay seemed pleased with this.

   "You do realize what this means right?" she asked.

   "Let me guess, I ain't gettin' any for a few days right?" I ventured
with a smile.  Kay giggled and nodded.  I had heard it was possible to have
sex with a woman on her period, I had never really considered trying it. 
We both went over and sat down across from Lori.  "So what happened to you
this morning?" I asked the young girl.  "I was expecting a little fun," I
told her.

   "Kay needed me," she said.

   "I knew I had packed some tampons, but I couldn't find them.  I woke her
up to see if she knew where they were.  She did," Kay explained.

   "Wanna go back to bed?" Lori asked with a big smile.

   "What's with all the noise?" Annie screamed from the fold out bed.

   "It's seven o'clock.  Time to get up," Kay yelled at her with a smile.

   "Are we going anywhere today?" Annie asked as she stretched.  I got up
and went over to Annie.

   "We need a favor.  We need you to find us a Wal-Mart with a pharmacy
around here," I told her.  "Kay needs to make a stop.  After that, we're
heading home," I told her and smiled.

   "We're going?  Today?" Annie asked rather surprised.

   "We're about seven hours away," I told her with a smile.  Annie threw
the covers off and was out of bed in an instant.  I got a quick glimpse of
her panties as she got out of bed then the long nightshirt fell down and
covered her again.

   "Why do you need a Wal-Mart?" Annie asked as she went over and poured a
cup of coffee.

   "I need to pick up a prescription for birth control," Kay explained.

   "Good idea," Annie said with a laugh.  "I'll get my laptop," Annie said
and headed for the bedroom where the computer was stored.

   Within ten minutes Annie had instant directions to the nearest Wal-Mart,
only six miles away.  Lori dressed, went out, unplugged us and with Annie
navigating, we made our way to the store.  We all went in and spent about
an hour just looking around.  Kay got her prescription.  Annie bought a few
things.  Lori and I left empty handed.

   We got back to the RV and headed for the highway.  It was a six and a
half hour drive home.  I planned to make it in one day.  Annie called her
parents about two hours later as we crossed the border between New York and
Pennsylvania.  She notified her Mother that she would be home today.  Her
mother was ecstatic.  After that, the hours passed quietly.  Kay and I
discussed what should and shouldn't be mentioned to my parents.  The one
thing we decided we absolutely could not mention was my physical
relationship with Lori.  Kay assured me she would talk to Lori.

   We pulled into my hometown at about three o'clock that afternoon. 
Suddenly, I no longer needed a map.  I punched the button for the speaker
and dialed my parents' home phone number as we turned off the highway.

   "Hello." It was Mark.

   "Hey Markie, what's up?" I hollered.

   "Hey dude, when are you gonna get here?" Mark yelled.

   "I'll be in the neighborhood in about twenty minutes.  First, I will
drop Annie off and then I'll be home."

   "Good idea," Mark said.

   "What's wrong Markie, why don't you wanna see Annie?" I asked even
though I knew the answer.

   "Are you kidding?  Annie and Jo are good friends.  I don't wanna hear
her bitch."

   "Rollen!" I heard my father from behind him.  My kid brother knew when
to give it up.  He handed the phone to my father.

   "Hey Dad.  I'm in town.  Thought I'd drop by," I said.

   "When will you be here?" Dad asked calmly.

   "I'm heading for Annie's house first.  I'll probably be there for an
hour or so and then I'll be home," I told him.

   "Okay, see you then," he said and hung up.  Ten minutes later I pulled
up to and stopped in front of Annie's parents' house.  Her mother was out
the door before I could shut the engine down.  I heard the door in back
open and watched Annie and her Mother embrace.  Mrs.  Sheridan kissed Annie
on top of her head.  I shut down the RV, went back and exited the same
door. Kay was just outside.  She had moved all of Annie's stuff from the RV
to the sidewalk.  I smiled at her and went over.

   As soon as I got close, Mrs.  Sheridan let go of Annie and hugged me
tightly.  "Thank you Jason for bringing my baby home," she said through her
tears.  Annie vanished behind her mother.  When Mrs.  Sheridan finally
released me I saw Annie on the porch hugging her father.

   "It was Annie's choice Mrs.  Sheridan.  All I did was drive," I told
her. It wasn't completely true, but it would make Annie look good.  I
introduced Kay to Mrs.  Sheridan.  Mrs.  Sheridan shook her hand and
invited us all inside.  Kay turned and looked into the RV.

   "Lori, come on out," Kay shouted.

   "Lori is Kay's little sister," I explained to Mrs.  Sheridan.  Lori
appeared in the doorway a second later dressed in a button down white
blouse and a pair of denim shorts.  She also had socks and running shoes
on. Lori was as well dressed as I had ever seen her.  She had her hair
pulled back and put up in a single ponytail.  For the first time, she
looked like a kid instead of a young adult.  Lori said hi to Mrs.  Sheridan
and Mrs.  Sheridan commented on how pretty Lori was and how much she loved
Lori's blouse.

   Annie and her father had already gone in the house so Mrs.  Sheridan led
us inside, with her hand on Lori's back the entire time.  I followed behind
Lori and Mrs.  Sheridan, holding Kay's hand.  Mrs.  Sheridan led the three
of us into the kitchen and ordered us to sit down and have some cookies. 
She offered each of us a drink and we all took a Coke.  Annie was nowhere
to be seen.  Her father joined us just as Mrs.  Sheridan set a plate of
chocolate chip cookies in front of us.  All three of us grabbed one.

   "Jason," Mr.  Sheridan said as he came in.  I rose from my chair and
shook his hand when he offered it.  "Annie is upstairs changing clothes. 
Janet just could not stand to not go shopping when she heard her baby was
coming home," he stated with a smile.

   "Darren!" Mrs.  Sheridan scolded her husband.

   "Sounds like a typical woman to me, Mr.  Sheridan," I said glancing at
Kay.

   "Call me Darren.  You're an adult now," Darren said and sat down with
us. "Who are these beautiful young ladies?" He asked indicating Kay and
Lori.

   "This is Kayley Phillips," I said placing my hand on Kay's shoulder. 
"And her little sister Lori." I pointed across the table to Lori and sat
back down to retrieve the wonderful, and still warm, cookie and I had
deserted to shake Darren's hand.

   "So, you're the young lady who's going to break my little girls heart?"
Darren said to Kay.  Kay blushed.

   "Darren!" Janet scolded again as she hovered over Lori.

   "Mom, sit down.  You're making Lori nervous," Annie said as she came
into the kitchen.  Now dressed in a pair of red shorts with a light white
summer blouse.  I whistled at Annie as she came in.  She smiled and sat
down and grabbed a couple cookies for herself.  Janet went over and got
Annie a soda and then sat down with the rest of us.

   "So Jason, your parents tell us you're wandering the country in that RV
of yours.  Where all have you been?" Darren asked.

   "That could take a while.  Went to Florida first, then New Orleans. 
Made a quick stop in Memphis.  Then I went over to Phoenix and Denver,
which is where I met Kay and Lori.  We made a stop in Vegas, next we went
to Des Moines, Iowa to see a friend, then we went into California and got
your daughter.  Finally, we made a trip to western New York and then we
came here." It was a brief synopsis of the places I had been to.

   "Des Moines, Iowa?  Who do you know in Des Moines?" Darren asked.

   "I don't know anyone in Des Moines.  I went there to meet a friend.  The
same friend I just dropped off in New York last night," I told him.  He
nodded.

   "Have you gone to any of regular tourist traps?  Theme parks, tours of
New York city, Washington DC, to the beaches?" Janet asked.

   "That's my Mom," Annie said.  "Always the travel agent," Annie said with
a laugh.

   "There's nothing wrong with that Annabeth," Janet said defensively.

   "Actually, Mrs.  Sheridan, I was thinking the same thing.  Could you
help us out?" Annie and Kay both turned and stared at me, wondering what I
was up to.  I sat forward and took a swallow of soda to wash down the last
of my third cookie.  "I was thinking maybe you could give us some ideas
about where to go.  Help us get tickets and passes to places like Disney
World and such," I said.  Lori smiled at the idea of going to Disney World.
"My parents have given me an almost unlimited amount of money to spend on
this trip, so I could pay."

   "Of course I would Jason.  Are you going to be around until Monday?  You
could come down to the office and we could see what we could do?" Janet
said.  I smiled.

   "I'll be there first thing Monday morning," I told her.

   "Good, I'm sure I can find you and your friends some good deals," Janet
said proud of herself for mentioning the idea.

   "You have a beautiful house Mrs.  Sheridan," Kay said.

   "Oh thank you dear.  And I love your hair.  Is that natural?" Janet
asked.

   "Yes, it's natural."

   "It looks real.  I just wasn't sure.  With your sister being blond."

   "We're only half sisters," Kay explained.  "We have the same father, but
different mothers.  I also have another half sister, her names Michelle. 
She's still in Colorado."

   "Jason," Darren said as Kay and Janet continued to talk.  "Janet and I
were wondering if you and your friends would care to stay for dinner.  We
were thinking about barbecuing."

   "I appreciate the offer.  But I've already called home and told my
father and Markie I'd be there soon."

   "Well, call them and invite them over.  From what I understand your
Mom's out of town.  Hell, you know men can't cook unless it's on a barbecue
and outside," Darren said and laughed.  I laughed along.

   "I'll think about it," I told him and he said I should.  Janet and Kay
were standing up so Janet could give her the grand tour of the house.  Lori
and Annie were following behind, whispering.

   "Darren, leave that poor boy alone and let him be with his girlfriend,"
Janet screamed from the kitchen door.  Darren and I both laughed and I got
up and followed Janet around the house.  When we went upstairs Annie caught
up with her Mom and waited.  When the tour reached Annie's room, Annie
grabbed Janet and dragged her inside.  This stopped the tour.

   "Mom, I have a question," Annie said and sat down on her mattress.  The
girl hadn't had a bed for years.  She used to have one, a very nice four
poster bed.  She broke it when she was about twelve when she and a friend
decided they wanted to be children again and started jumping on the bed. 
The poor bed never stood a chance.

   "What is it?" Janet asked.  Lori, Kay and I stood in the doorway.

   "Do you think Dad would let me go with Jason?" She asked.

   "Go with Jason where?" Janet asked.

   "On his...  vacation?" Annie said, searching for the right word.  "I
can't get into college in the fall.  It's way too late.  As soon as I come
home, I promise I will go out and find a job and start working on getting
into school."

   "Have you been invited?" Janet asked, looking from me to Annie.

   "Annie has an open invitation," I told her.  Annie smiled.

   "I wasn't sure you would want her along.  I thought maybe you'd want to
be alone with your girlfriend," Janet stated looking at Kay.  This caused
Kay, Lori, Annie and I all to break out laughing.

   "Mrs.  Sheridan, Kay and I can be alone, even if Annie is there.  And
even if Annie doesn't come along, Lori is still going to be there.  The RV
is plenty big enough.  Plus, half the reason I came back was to pick up
Mark.  My parents said he could come travel with me for a while," I told
her.

   "Do you think Dad would let me?" she asked.

   "I really don't know honey.  You would have to ask him," Janet said.

   "Would you let me go?" Annie asked quietly.

   "Annabeth, I trust you," Janet said and sat down at Annie's desk.  "Even
you going off to California wouldn't have bothered me if it wasn't for that
boy Tony.  There was just something about him.  I certainly don't have a
problem with you going off with Jason especially since you plan to come
back," Janet said.  Annie smiled.

   "Thank you Mom," she said, jumped up and hugged her mother around the
neck.

   After that, we finished the tour and headed downstairs.  I huddled up
with the girls and asked if they thought we should stay for dinner or go
home.

   "Jason, if your father and Mark are willing to come here, what's the
difference?" Annie said.  The others agreed with her.  So we agreed, I
would call home and ask if they were interested in coming over for dinner,
if they were, we'd stay.  If they weren't, we would leave Annie at her
parents' home and Kay, Lori and I would go to my house for dinner.

   I went to the phone and made the call.  Mark was all for it.  Dad
wasn't. He had already called and ordered pizza and that it would be there
shortly so I had better get my butt home.  I apologized to the Sheridan's,
we all gave Annie a hug and wished her luck with her father.  Then Lori,
Kay and I got into the RV and headed for my house.

   "Jason," Kay said as we turned onto my street.  "I thought you said
Annie lived next door to you."

   I nodded.  "She did for most of our lives.  Her parents moved to the new
house just before Annie left home.  They had this huge four-bedroom home.
Strange, considering Annie was an only child.  They didn't want to have to
take care of it anymore," I explained as I pulled up in front of my
parents' home.  Mark was outside sitting on the front porch.  I honked and
started shutting down the RV.  Mark came over and I opened my door so I
could talk to him.  "Hey Markie, what's up?" He was smiling from ear to
ear.

   "Hi." He looked past me to Kay.  "Hiya," he said.  Kay looked from me to
him and then started getting out.

   "Lori, we're here," Kay yelled.  Lori was already at the door.  She
opened it and stepped out onto the road on the far side of the RV.  Kay and
Lori walked around the front of the vehicle as I stepped out.

   "Mark, this is Kay," I said as she appeared next to me.  "And this is
Lori," I said as Lori stepped from behind her sister.

   "Hi there," Mark said in a fake basso when he saw Lori.

   "Hi," Lori said shyly.  I closed my door, took Kay's hand and headed up
the walkway to the front door followed by Lori with Mark following behind
her.

   My father was waiting just inside the door.  "Hey Dad," I said as I
walked in.  He stepped into my path and hugged me briefly.  "Dad, this is
Kayley," I said with a smile after he released me.  Dad took a second and
looked Kay over.

   "Well, I can certainly see the attraction," he said and took the hand
she offered.

   "It's nice to meet you Mr.  Marcison," Kay said, her cheeks bright red
with embarrassment.  Lori stepped in behind us and Kay and I moved to one
side.  "This is my sister, Lori," Kay introduced.

   "Hello," My father said and checked out the younger girl and offered his
hand.  Lori didn't take it.  She gave a soft hi and moved over by her
sister.

   "She's shy.  She doesn't do well with people she doesn't know.  Once she
gets to know you though, you just can't shut her up," I said and we
laughed. "Kay, Lori, this is my father Doctor Jack Marcison."

   "You never told me he was a doctor," Kay stated.

   "You never asked," I told her.  I took her hand and led her to the
living room.  Mark continued to follow Lori who was following Kay.  Dad was
the last one to come into the room.  I took a seat with Kay on the couch;
Lori quickly sat down beside Kay.  Mark was forced to take a seat in the
recliner which was as near to Lori as he could get.  He couldn't stop
smiling.  Dad took a seat in his recliner; no one else sat in his chair.  I
think he got that from Archie Bunker.  "Mom already in North Carolina?" I
asked as Dad took his seat.

   "She's on her way," Dad said.

   "Where's Jenn?" I asked about my little sister.

   "She went with your mother," Dad explained.  "She was a little pissed at
you by the way.  You invited Mark but not her," Dad said and looked at me
over his reading glasses.

   "All things considered, I don't think you or Mom would have let me take
her along," I said.

   "You're probably right.  But she's still mad that you never offered."

   "I'll make it up to her."

   "So how did you meet?" Dad asked Kay.

   "Well, Dr.  Marcison," Kay started.

   "Please call me Jack.  Everyone does."

   "Okay, well, Lori and I were born and raised in Colorado.  My father is
a divorce lawyer in Denver but we live in Aspen.  We were visiting our
older sister, Michelle, who lives in a little tiny trailer in the park
where your son decided to stay the night.  We met after someone," Kay said
and glanced at me, "stole Michelle's bathing suit while she was nude
sunbathing by a small pond back in the woods.  Lori and I had gone for a
walk in the woods and we passed Jason on the way back to get my sister. 
That evening, after we got back, I went over and asked Jason if he had seen
who had done it."

   "Had he?" Dad asked.  He knew the truth from the way Kay had told the
story.

   "No Dad, I didn't see anybody," I said with a smile.

   "I see," Dad said understandingly.  "So what made you decide to hit the
road?" Dad asked Kay.

   "Lack of a better offer," Kay stated.  "My father and I don't get along.
We never have.  He doesn't like having to take care of us.  Michelle raised
me until she moved out and I've pretty much taken care of Lori since I was
old enough.  Our father recently re-married and had his first child with
her, a boy.  We were ignored before but didn't know how much worse it could
get until he had a son.  That's why Lori and I went to stay with Michelle
for the summer.  Michelle is a story all unto herself.  We can live
together, but we don't get along real will.  It wasn't really my idea to go
with Jason.  It was Kimmy's."

   "Kimmy?" My father asked.  "Who's Kimmy?"

   "Kimmy was another girl I met in Colorado.  We dropped her off in
Colorado a few days ago.  We all became good friends.  I don't remember
whose idea it was but Kay was the final dissenting voice in the crowd.  We
spent a couple days together in Colorado and I was already falling for Kay.
Lori was desperate to get away from Michelle.  Kimmy had nothing in
Colorado.  Her family disowned her because she's gay.  So, Kimmy was all up
for a change of scenery.  Kay continued to resist.  Strangely, she's also
the one who figured out how to do it," I explained.

   "Hold on!" Dad said.  "Kay, does your father know where you are?"

   "Don't worry," Kay said with a smile and reached into her pocket.  "My
father gave me written permission to take Lori out of the state and to give
permission for medical treatment if needed." This seemed to satisfy Dad. 
The doorbell rang before he could ask his next question.

   "Mark, go get the door," Dad ordered.  Mark started to protest but Dad
held a twenty-dollar bill out and glared at him.  Mark surrendered, went
over to Dad, took the twenty and got the door.  "Why don't we all go into
the dinning room," Dad said and stood up.  I was sure my mother told him to
cross-examine Kay and I.  To find out everything he could.  It wouldn't
surprise me at all if she told him she wanted a written report about
everything that was said.  I was sure he would be talking to her on the
phone that night, telling her everything.

   We all moved into the dinning room and took a seat.  Plates were set in
the middle of the table and Dad passed one to each of us as we took a seat.
Mark came in with two large pizza boxes and set them in the middle of the
table.  Dad took his customary place at the head of the table.  Kay and I
took two chairs on one side; Lori took my mothers place opposite my father.
Mark took a seat opposite Kay that would put him as close to Lori as
possible.  "Mark, would you please leave that poor girl alone!" Dad yelled
as he opened the first pizza box.  Lori giggled.  Kay and I both tried not
to smile.  Mark glared at me and grabbed the other pizza.  Mark, did not
know how to flirt, but he was taught to be a proper gentleman.  He offered
Lori the pizza and allowed her to take a couple pieces before he did.  Dad
took two pieces for himself and then passed me the box.  I got out a couple
pieces for Kay and then got some for myself.  "Mark, why don't you go get
everyone a soda," Dad said.  Mark's jaw dropped open in shock. 
Nonetheless, he stood up and went into the kitchen.  "I have to apologize
for my son," Dad said to Lori once Mark was gone.  "He recently broke up
with his girlfriend.  She not only took a piece of his heart, but also that
piece of his brain that controls his manners." Kay, Lori and I all laughed.

   "Lori seems to have that affect on young boys," Kay stated.  "I'm not
sure whether it's the blond hair or the big blue eyes." My father actually
smiled.

   "I'm sure you get your own share of attention from young men," Dad shot
back at Kay.  Kay turned away and blushed.

   "Damn, I've known Kay for seventeen days and I haven't gotten her to
blush twice.  You did it in ten minutes," I said and got a smack on the arm
from Kay for my troubles.

   "I've been married to your mother for twenty one years Jason.  I know
how to treat a woman," Dad stated and smiled at Kay.  I knew I was beaten.
I went back to eating my pizza.  Mark returned with five glasses and five
cans of soda and set them in front of us.  He was even polite enough to
pour Lori's for her.  Kay, Dad and I had to fend for ourselves.

   "Markie, I grant you that Lori has some cute little fingers but she is
able to open a soda can for herself," I told him teasingly.  Kay tried hard
to hide the giggle.  Mark just glared at me.  Lori smiled and watched Mark
blush.

   "I think he's sweet," Lori stated quietly.  This made Mark blush even
more.

   "So, how has Jason treated you?" Dad asked Kay.  I'm not sure whether he
was trying to save Mark from more teasing or just curious.

   "Jason has been the perfect host and a perfect gentleman," Kay responded
between bites of pizza.

   "Must have been a boring trip then," Dad said and smiled at me.  I
couldn't believe it; my father had just made a joke with sexual innuendo. I
almost fell off of my chair.

   "It's had its exciting moments," Kay said.

   "I'm sure," Dad said.  "So, well you all be sleeping in the house or
will you be staying in that RV tonight?"

   "Lori can sleep in my room," Mark volunteered.  Dad glared at him.  I
took a piece of pepperoni off of the slice of pizza I was eating and threw
it at Mark.  It hit him right in the forehead.

   "Jason, don't throw food at your brother." Dad sat there in silence for
a second.  "I haven't scolded you for that in something like ten years,"
Dad said and laughed.  "Mark, it's very kind of you to offer.  If they
decide to stay with us this evening, you can sleep in my den," Dad said,
crushing Mark's dream.  I noticed Lori bite her lower lip trying to keep
from making a comment.

   I heard Kay whisper to her sister.  "Don't even think about it." Kay
then took a bite of pizza.  If Dad or Mark heard, neither one said
anything. Lori chuckled and returned to her pizza.

   "So, how many traveling companions have you had Jason?  Your Mom seemed
to think it was quite a few," Dad stated.

   "The truth?" I asked.  Dad nodded.  "The day after I left home I met
Erin.  She's the one who called here a few days ago.  She's also the one we
dropped off in New York yesterday," I told him.  "She rode with me to
Florida and then vanished.  Two days after that I met Missy in Georgia. 
She rode with me to New Orleans.  Somewhere in there we met Anita.  Missy
and Anita both disappeared in New Orleans.  Missy reappeared a few days
later in Memphis.  She traveled with me for about five days and left again
in Arizona.  I picked up a couple, their names were Danny with a Y, and
Dani with an I.  They were with me for one days drive.  After that I went
to Colorado and met Kay, Lori and Kimmy.  They've been with me since.  Erin
called about a week later and we went to Iowa to pick her up."

   "I thought she was from New York?" Dad interrupted.

   "She was having some problems in New York.  She asked if I would come
get her.  We met halfway." Dad nodded.  "After that, we went to California
to see Annie.  About that same time, Erin decided she wanted to go home. 
So, when we discovered Annie's situation, we took her in and headed east,
dropped Erin off in New York and then came here," I finished and turned to
Kay.  "Did I forget anyone?"

   "Melody," Lori stated.

   "Oh yeah.  Melody was a girl Kimmy met in Nevada.  She was only with us
for a day or two though " I explained.  I didn't tell him about Lynn or
Chrissy and I didn't want to give any details.

   "That's seven right?" Dad asked.  Kay and I both nodded.  "Any
problems?"

   "We were carjacked once," Kay volunteered.  This got Dad's notice.  He
stopped mid bite and looked at Kay and then me.

   I took a deep breath and told him the story.  "The cops said they would
call if they needed us to come testify," I finished.

   "No one was hurt?" He asked.  I told him no.  "What about the RV?"

   "It wasn't hurt either," I said.

   "I mean, have you had any problems with it?" Dad asked.

   "No, not one so far," I told him.  "Although it has gotten a little
crowded at times,"

   "I considered getting you a bigger one after your mother told me what
was going on.  But I haven't been able to find one that will sleep anymore
than yours does.  It might give you more room to spread out but..." Dad
said without finishing the thought.

   "You looked into getting me a bigger RV?" I asked, surprised.  He just
nodded.  "Thanks." I said.

   "Not what you expected Jason?" Dad asked.

   "No." I said.  "I figured I'd be in a boatload of trouble to be honest,"

   "If your mother was here, you probably would be.  And if you go see her
in North Carolina, I suspect you'll hear all about it," Dad said and sat
back in his chair, his plate empty.  "I figured you would meet someone
while you were out.  I didn't realize you would be meeting quite so many
and I didn't honestly expect you to be picking them up but it doesn't
surprise me.  You're a young man with a big RV.  What girl wouldn't be
impressed?" Dad said.  I was about to say something about the comment when
he continued.  "I'm not saying that any of the girls were out for money,
especially you Kayley." Dad nodded to her.  "But it is something a lot of
people would consider when deciding how to deal with you."

   "What do you mean, how to deal with me?" I asked.

   "Whether they want to be friends.  Whether they want to be more than
friends.  Jason, you must realize how much money it's costing to keep that
RV and keep you going?" I nodded.  "If someone has that kind of money,
people are going to take notice." The thought had occurred to me before but
I had always pushed it to the back of my mind.  Oddly, I had never even
wondered about it with Kayley.  I looked at Kay for something.  She just
looked back at me though.

   Dad excused himself from the table while the rest of us finished eating.
Mark and Lori talked quietly but Kay and I stayed quiet.  After we
finished, Kay and I picked up the dishes and took them to the kitchen and
put them in the dishwasher.  Mark volunteered to show Lori the house and
the two of them wandered off together.  Once finished loading the
dishwasher, I put in some soap, closed it and turned it on.  Kay was behind
me and wrapped her arms around my waist.  I turned myself around and
wrapped my arms around her.  I looked into her eyes for a second and then
kissed her.  "I love you," I whispered.  She smiled.

   "I love you too." We kissed again and then released each other.  I took
her hand and led her through the house, up the stairs and to my bedroom. 
We went into the bedroom and sat on the bed.

   "You okay?" She asked sitting beside me on the bed.

   "Yeah.  Just a mean dose of reality."

   "You don't think..." I just shook my head.

   "It never entered my mind with you," I told her and wrapped my arm
around her and pulled her to me.  She laid her head on my shoulder.  "It
makes me wonder about some of the others though.  Missy especially."

   "Jase, she's gone.  Whatever there was is over," Kay told me.  She
grabbed my hand, brought it to her lips and kissed the palm of my hand.

   "I know," I said and lay back on the bed.  "Just thinking," I said.  Kay
lay down next to me and rolled onto her side and pressed herself against
me. We locked eyes and kissed and again.  Her mouth opened and I pushed my
tongue into her mouth.  I slid a hand into her hair and held her lips to
mine.  We kissed for a long time.  Just enjoying being together.  Then the
door flew open.

   "Hey bro!" Mark yelled.  Kay and I both jumped.  The moment gone, we
both sat up.  "Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt," Mark said when he saw us.
Lori was standing behind him.

   "What do you want Mark?" I asked.

   "Lori and I were talking about going out and meeting some friends.  Want
to come?" He asked, excited.

   "Uh Mark," I said.  "don't you think you should give the girl a night to
rest?  Not to mention, don't you think you should ask Kay and Dad?"

   "I'm going to ask Dad," he said.  "And she says she wants to go." Kay
stood up and went out past Mark and talked with Lori.  "You coming or not?"
Mark asked.  I waited until Kay and Lori finished talking.  When they did
Kay put her hand on Mark's shoulder.

   "Lori's tired.  She's had a long day.  Could you wait until tomorrow?"
She asked.  Mark was confused.  He looked from me, to Kay, to Lori and then
back to Kay.

   "She wants to go," Mark stated emphatically.

   "Yes, she does.  But she's also just finished a five hour drive and met
a whole slew of people she never met before," Kay explained.  "It wears on
you.  I don't want her to get sick.  She needs to rest." Mark looked at
Lori who just shrugged.

   "What's going on?" I couldn't see him but Dad's voice was quite clear.

   Mark turned to Dad.  "Lori and I were gonna go meet some friends at the
mall but..."

   "Mark," Lori interrupted before the boy talked himself into trouble. 
"Kay's right.  I am tired.  We can go tomorrow." Mark was now truly
confused.

   "Mark," Dad said and put a hand on Mark's shoulder.  "Maybe we should
talk for a few minutes." Mark was mad.  He was getting in trouble and he
didn't understand why.  Dad led him away and down the stairs.  I was sure
they would end up in Dad's office.  It's where Dad always took us for
talks. Kay and Lori both watched them go down the stairs.

   "I didn't want to get him in trouble," Kay said.

   "He isn't in trouble really," I said as Kay came back over.  Lori
followed.  "Dad is just going to explain who's the boss.  Dad likes
everyone to understand the chain of command."

   "What's he going to say to him?" Lori asked as she closed the door and
sat down beside me.

   "I imagine he's going to tell him that since Kay is taking care of you
for lack of a better term, that she is the acting mother and that he should
ask her permission and such.  He's going to remind Mark that you are both
guests and that you are only sixteen," I told Lori.

   "I can take care of myself," Lori shot back.

   "We know you can Lori.  But they don't," Kay stated.

   "Why didn't you want me to go?" Lori asked Kay as I wrapped an arm
around each of them and pulled them close.

   "We don't know Mark that well Lori.  I know Jason will protect you.  I
don't know what Mark would do.  Especially if he's trying to impress his
friends."

   "She's right Lori.  I don't think Mark would hurt you or make you do
anything and I'm quite sure you could protect yourself if necessary but I
don't think you should risk getting yourself into something," I told her.

   "Plus, I can tell by your face that you are tired," Kay added.

   "I won't argue with that," Lori said with a smile.  We all lay back on
the bed and just laid there resting for a few minutes.  I had an arm around
each of the girls and each rested her head on my chest.

   "Anyone up for Jeopardy?" Kay asked after a few minutes and we all
started to laugh.

   We heard the doorbell from my bedroom.  A few minutes later there was a
knock on the bedroom door.  "Come in," I yelled and all three of us sat up.
The door opened and in walked Annie.

   "Hiya.  Miss me?" She asked.  She closed the door and sat down in my
desk chair.

   "What happened to the barbecue?" I asked.

   "Oh, it's over.  I think my Dad really expected you all to stay for
dinner.  He fixed way to much just for us," Annie explained.  "What have
you all been up to?"

   "We had pizza," Lori stated and flopped down so her head was resting on
my pillow.  She stretched out behind Kay and I.

   "And the third degree," I added.

   "Ah, poor baby.  Finally having to pay for your sins," Annie said with a
smile.

   "Something like that, yeah," I said and lay back and rested my head on
Lori's thigh.  Lori began rubbing my hair.

   "I think you three had better get out of that bed," Annie said.  We all
looked at her questioningly.  "I've seen what you three do in bed," Annie
said and we all laughed.

   The night passed rather quietly.  By nine that evening, Annie had gone
home, Lori had fallen asleep and Kay went to take a shower.  We never
discussed that we were going to sleep at my parents' house, it just kind of
happened.  While we were alone Dad came in and sat down.  I could tell by
his face that he wanted to talk so I muted the TV.  "What's up Dad?"

   "I take it you've decided to spend the night?" Dad said.

   "We didn't discuss it, but..." I waved at Lori who was asleep beside me,
her head in my lap.

   "And where will Kayley be sleeping?" Dad asked casually without looking
at me.

   "I guess that's up to you.  It's your house.  I know where I'd like her
to sleep though," I told him.  He just nodded.

   "Jason I can't and won't give you permission to sleep with that girl in
my home." Dad said.  He then stood up and went to the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm going to bed.  If you don't want to move her, at least throw a blanket
over her." I nodded.  He smiled at me and then went upstairs.  I wondered
what exactly he was saying.  First he said he wouldn't give me permission,
yet he didn't forbid it and then he went to bed.  If he was really
concerned about it, he would have stayed up to make sure we ended up in
separate beds.  I finally figured he wasn't condoning the idea but he
wasn't going to fight over it either.  He said he didn't approve but he
knew that if we were going to be together, there wasn't much he could do
about it.  After all, we could always go out to the RV.

   When Kay came down from her shower we covered Lori and quietly went
upstairs.  We crawled into my little single bed, curled up together, kissed
a few times and fell asleep.
