Chapter 93

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Yeah, me too I guess."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"What ditch?" Kim asked.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Okay," Sally said and got up.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kim and Sally nodded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kim nodded. "Do you know anyone?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"What did they say?" Tom asked.

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

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

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

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

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

p;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Joanne began to laugh. "How true!"

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

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

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

"How old were you and my sister?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Not really," Marc said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I certainly hope so," Dianne responded.

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

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

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

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

"Does anyone want a drink?" Jerry asked.

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

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

p;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I love you, Lisa."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

p;

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

"Who were you talking to, Brad?"

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

"How is Craig doing?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"It was. I really like Craig."

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

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

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

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

"Like it used to be with Sally?"

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

"How does Craig feel about you, Brad?"

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

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

"Does this feel good, Brad?"

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

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

"What about Kim?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Do you think so?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Take care of what?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Paul smiled and said, "Count on it."

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

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

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

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

"What's up?" Sally asked.

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

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

"Yeah, I talked to Craig today."

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

"Really? How is he doing?"

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

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

Brad nodded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"That makes me feel good I think."

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Everyone okay now?" Kim asked.

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

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

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

p;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"You better believe it!" Jack said.

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

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

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

Don sat down and the group broke into several conversations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Nothing to make up for, Jo."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jerry laughed and nodded his head.

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

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

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

"Would you do it again?"

"Maybe, why?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Are you okay, Jo?"

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

"Everyone did, Jo. Everyone but me."

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

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

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

"Marge, Anne and Dianne."

"You didn't cum?"

"No, I saved that for you."

"Thanks."

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

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

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

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

"Well, what do you think, Jo?"

"Honestly?"

Sam nodded.

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

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

"Like what?"

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

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

"You bet your sweet ass I do."

"Good, let's go to bed."

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

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

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

p;

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

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

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

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