“Yeah, why?”
“Well, the girls are in bikinis. Maybe they’d like us to join them.”
“Yeah!” Lily said immediately.
“Uh-oh,” I said, as if I’d just thought of it.
Lily took the bait and asked, “What?”
“Someone forgot to tell me about the hot tub. No names mentioned, but she’s small, blonde, and looking very guilty right now. Anyway, I didn’t bring my trunks.”
“Shorts’re fine,” Will said.
“I might just wear my boxers,” I suggested.
“Yeah, whatever. It’s totally cool. I’ll be right back, hon.” He swayed to his feet, bumped into Lily’s, and lurched toward the cabin’s single bathroom. “Gotta take a leak first.”
“Are you sure you don’t want another?” I asked Lily.
She took the hint and rose to join me. She set her half-full cup on the counter and stood close enough that I could feel the heat of her bare skin where it nearly touched mine.
“Are you okay with this?” I asked. “What we’re doing?”
She feigned innocence.
“Christy told me,” I said. “Everything. Drink a lot, play naughty games, get naked. We’ve done the first two. Are you ready for the last one?”
Her eyes flashed with excitement.
“Tell me now if you don’t want to. We’ll have a nice little party and that’s all.”
“No,” she said immediately. “I want to.”
“Okay, if you’re sure. But you realize that getting naked usually leads to other things, like fooling around?”
She swallowed hard, but her eyes never lost their enthusiasm.
I chuckled, low and suggestive.
She shot a glance at the bathroom door. Then she threw caution to the wind and moved in for a kiss. I pulled her toward me. Her large, firm breasts pressed into my side, and her breathing grew heavy as the kiss heated up. I casually cupped her bikini-clad ass. She moaned and thrust her hips toward me.
We pulled apart when the bathroom door rattled in its frame. It came unstuck and banged open.
“Sorry,” Will said absently. He leaned on the furniture for balance as he crossed to the alcove. He disappeared behind the curtain, and the bed springs squeaked under his weight.
Lily started breathing again. “I can’t believe it’s really happening.”
“Are you sure about Will?” I wasn’t, but I wanted to stick to the plan if I could.
“You heard his stories. He’s done just about everything else.”
I had my doubts but didn’t voice them.
“Besides,” she added, “he’ll do anything when he’s drunk.”
“Yeah, but will he regret it in the morning?”
“I don’t think so.”
It sounded like wishful thinking, but I kept those doubts to myself too.
“What about you?” I asked instead. “What if things go further than just getting naked?”
“I want them to.”
Will yanked the curtain aside and emerged in a pair of swim trunks and no shirt. My eyes widened. He looked like a Calvin Klein model, with a sculpted chest and washboard abs. Christy took one look and then did a double take.
“Holy crap,” I said without thinking. “Do you work out, Will?”
“What?” he said blearily. “No. Why?”
“Just… you have a really nice body.”
“What’re you, a fag or somethin’? Jus’ kiddin’.” He stumbled to the kitchen and said, “Which’n’s mine?”
I pointed, and he took a long drink. Then he grabbed the handle of the rum bottle and unscrewed the top.
“Go easy,” I warned as politely as I could.
He waved vaguely and filled his cup to the top. He didn’t add any Coke. Then he lurched to the couch and took a longer drink.
“Crap,” Lily whispered. “I was afraid he’d do this.” She sighed again as she watched him stare vacantly at MTV. “Now he’s going to ignore me.”
I glanced at Christy. She was watching him too, and I could almost see her come to the same conclusion I just had.
“I don’t think anything’s going to happen tonight,” I said to Lily in a low voice.
She glared at Will.
“Sorry,” I added.
“I don’t know why I even bothered,” she said. “He isn’t going to change. I thought maybe this weekend…” She sipped her drink and glared some more. “If I’m lucky, he’ll pass out soon.”
* * *
Will did indeed pass out. He came around, sort of, when I hoisted him from the couch and supported him under his arm. I half-carried, half-dragged him to the sleeping alcove and dumped him in bed. Lily was so annoyed that she didn’t even wait around to make sure he was okay. I was tempted to leave him where he was, but I swung his legs onto the bed and covered him with the sheet. He started snoring softly, so I returned to the living room.
Lily was on the couch. “Is he out?” she asked over her shoulder.
“Like a light.”
She huffed dismissively and went back to sulking. Christy moved to her side and put her arm around her.
“Paul,” she asked, “will you…?”
“I’m on it,” I said. I grabbed their cups and returned to the kitchen. “Do we want ‘lights out’ drinks or ‘all night long’?”
That roused Lily from her funk. “Huh?”
“You and your words,” Christy said fondly.
Lily actually smiled when she figured it out. “All night long would be awesome.”
“Careful what you wish for,” I said with a grin.
She blushed and glanced at Christy, who gave me a speculative look.
“Might as well have fun,” I said. “Now that Prince Charming’s asleep.”
“Prince Charming,” Lily snorted. “Ha! That loser?”
“Eh, he’s only nineteen.”
“And doesn’t respect women,” Christy added.
“Let’s change the subject.” I delivered the girls’ drinks. “Something more fun.”
“Getting naked is fun,” Lily suggested.
My eyebrows shot up.
“Yeah,” Christy added, “you were supposed to take your clothes off when Will did. You promised.”
“Sorry. I didn’t see the point.”
“What about now?” Lily said. “I will if you will.”
“Sure. I’m fine with that. But… what about Sleeping Beauty? What if he gets up to go to the bathroom or something?”
“We could move to the bedroom,” Christy suggested. “Oh my gosh, I didn’t mean it like that!”
“I will if you will,” Lily said again.
* * *
We left the television on in the living room, just in case. I closed the bedroom door and set my drink on the dresser. I lifted the hem of my polo, but Lily beat me to it. She popped the catch on her bikini and freed one of the nicest pairs of breasts I’d ever seen. They were the size of cantaloupes and just as round, with medium-sized nipples and faint tan lines.
She shrugged and let the top fall. “What do you think?”
“I think you’re quicker’n I am,” I chuckled.
“Huh?”
“He’s weird about nudity,” Christy explained. “But I think you’re beautiful.”
“Thank you,” Lily said. “You are too.”
I took off my shirt and unbuttoned my shorts.
Lily hesitated and then asked Christy, “Have you really done all those things? With other girls?”
Christy nodded.
Lily glanced toward me as I finished undressing. Her glance turned into a stare. “What happened to your—?” She swallowed hard. “To your hair?”
“I shave,” I said simply.
“I like him smooth,” Christy added. “I like how it looks. And how it feels.”
“Inside you?” Lily said.
“And in my mouth.”
“Besides,” I added, “it’s only fair.”
Lily looked confused, so I glanced at Christy.
“Didn’t she see? Earlier?” I asked.
“See what?” Lily said.
“No,” Christy said to me. She shrugged a little guilty.
“That’s okay,” I chuckled. “Show her now.”
Christy didn’t say “yes, sir” aloud, but her eyes did. She unfastened her bikini top and it popped free. She caught it automatically with her other hand. Her breasts didn’t sag at all, but she still hesitated and glanced at Lily’s.
