Chapter 27A

The towel-wrapped ensemble trooped up to the top floor and fell hungrily on the small spread laid out. All of the parents except Cindy had eaten and were puttering around doing various things, so everyone was able to fit around the large dining table. The chatter was animated and wide-ranging, at least after a few final volleyball challenges were issued. Much of the talk was about what everyone wanted to do during the rest of the week. The girls' plans mostly centered on the pool, the beach, and shopping at various quaint little shops and shopping centers sprinkled around the area.

When Jack mentioned the small amusement park adjacent to the area's popular boardwalk, everyone thought that sounded fun, and plans were made to go Wednesday evening so that Jack's older sister Martha and her daughter Elizabeth could join them.

At one point Jack noticed that Zane and Lea were sitting close together, but not really paying overt attention to each other. Hmmm, is something brewing there?

Jennifer had been chatting with the girls about some boutique or other. She continued verbally while answering Jack, There are some possibilities. Each is attracted to the other, but both are scared to make any indication. Zack is just inexperienced. Lea, well, she's a little more complicated.

Wow. It sounds like I need to use your abilities to limit sex!

That isn't my place to say, master, and besides, she turned her head away from the concurrent verbal conversation she had going long enough to look at him with a raised eyebrow, what's wrong with being a nympho?

Jack returned a small smirk, Nothing, as long as the nympho has a brilliant master to direct her nymphomania in the right directions. She stuck her tongue out at him, hidden from the rest by the hand she had her chin propped on, before turning back to the conversation. Jack looked at Zane for a moment. If she needs to avoid the wrong people, is he a right person? I mean, I know he's a good kid, but if he's as inexperienced, and probably as horny, as she is, is that good or bad? On the other hand, I say 'kid' but they both are legally adults now, so I guess they can do what they want.

I cannot say for sure, but he's probably as good as any, and better than most. The biggest risk, as you say, is their combined almost total lack of experience.

Well, I really hate to interfere, but perhaps you can monitor their progress, and let me know if you see something that warns of doom ahead.

Will-do.

The early lunch broke up, with everyone helping clean up after Jack and Jennifer set the example. Jack's mom pantomimed total shock and praised Jennifer as a miracle worker.

Jennifer came to his defense. Sort of. "Actually, he wasn't that messy when we met."

"Thanks, I think," Jack replied. Everyone laughed.

It was decreed by Cindy that the Mother of All Volleyball Matches would begin at 1:00 PM. That gave everyone a little over an hour to goof off.

As Jack and Jennifer headed toward their room, Jennifer said, "It looks like we'll be in the sun most of the afternoon. We really need a good coat of suntan lotion."

Jack grinned. "I'll do yours if you do mine."

They both arrived at the pool at one o'clock thoroughly protected by lotion, including in many locations unlikely see the light of day.

It was a given, at least for Cindy, Sarah, and Janie, that it was girls against boys. Jack and Zane immediately objected, as that would be five against two.

"Um, four to two, actually," Lea interjected hesitantly. "I can't play."

"Why not?" Janie asked. "I thought you said you can swim."

"Oh, I can. It's just, well..." she trailed off and shrugged, her face turning a bit red.

Ah. A look of understanding crossed Jennifer's face, and she smiled understandingly at Lea and took her elbow. Leading her toward the sliding glass doors she said to the remaining group, "Excuse us for a moment, be right back."

Everybody shrugged at each other and milled in and around the pool for a few moments until the pair returned.

When they stepped back through the doors it was immediately obvious what had transpired. Lea now wore Jennifer's new blue one-piece, while Jennifer sported Lea's faded white one-piece with floral print. It was also immediately obvious that, at least from shoulder to hips, they shared similar builds. The blue suit fit Lea just about as well as it did Jennifer, and the thin white suit was just as much another layer of skin on Jennifer as it had been on Lea.

Oh, my!

Thank you, Jack!

I guess my suspicion of what happens to that suit when it gets wet is fairly accurate, then.

Tingle. Chuckle. Well, maybe not that accurate. She paused. Or maybe it is. These things usually have a privacy lining in the cups. In the case of this suit, those linings were padded. That was okay before Lea started developing. When that happened, her mom removed the lining and just made Lea wear adhesive bandages to hide any... reaction to chilly water, shall we say? I'm surprised that she didn't make Lea try on the bathing suit for her before the trip. She apparently doesn't realize how much more Lea has developed since the last time she saw her wearing it. She definitely would have never let Lea bring it if she had.

And are you wearing any adhesive bandages?

Of course not! The two had reached the other girls by this time, and Jennifer explained out loud, "Lea was a little concerned about what might happen to this suit when it got wet, so I traded with her for now. We'll take her shopping later."

The idea of an actual need to justify a shopping trip seemed to please the little group, but then Cindy frowned at Jennifer. "What about you? Aren't you concerned what may happen to that suit when it gets wet?"

Jennifer's reply was pitched so that only the little group could hear. From the looks of scandalized amusement that quickly turned to evil grins on all of their faces, though, Jack figured he had a pretty good idea of what she said.

Meanwhile, Jonathan valiantly volunteered to join the guys, earning a sarcastic snort from his wife, who obviously doubted that his reasons for playing were all that valiant. Still, while he was growing a little larger around the middle after forty-something years, he remained an active guy and Jack and Zane were glad to have him.

Jack's dad, on the other hand, begged off as being too old, and joined Katherine and Doreen as the referees, if anyone sitting off to the side of the pool around a table, under a large umbrella, sipping refreshing adult beverages can be called a referee.

The next issue was over who played on which end of the pool. The girls argued that the guys should take the deeper end because they were taller. The guys argued back that the odds were still five to three, and that fact plus the guys having to play in the deep end was too much of an advantage for the girls. They finally settled on flipping a coin. The losing team would start in the deep end for what would be best of three rounds. After the first round the winning team would take the deep end. The same would go for the third round if there was one.

The guys lost the toss, so hopped into the deep end. Jack quickly discovered a fringe benefit to having the girls in the shallow end; it left much more female flesh exposed. Of course, that could be detrimental to the actual game, especially with Jennifer's current suit now wet. The lining was still in place in the crotch, but anywhere else that didn't have the floral print was effectively transparent. (Un)Fortunately, a couple of (in)conveniently placed flowers hid her nipples and made their current status difficult to judge.

Oh, my! Jack repeated, and received another mental chuckle in return.

The guys narrowly lost the first round, due in no small part to all the female flesh bouncing around on the other side of the net.

The teams switched sides, and the guys won the second round easily, as the deeper water was almost over some of the girls' heads, making it difficult for them to get to the ball. It also hid most of their distracting curves.

They switched sides again for the third round. Jack called a quick huddle. "Okay, men, I know it's asking the impossible," he murmured with mock severity, "but in order to win, we have stop looking at those girls as, well, scantily clad girls. We've got to look at them as opponents!"

Zane just blushed and grinned a bit self consciously, but Jonathan returned Jack's mock seriousness with a brisk nod.

Not if I can help it! Jennifer sing-songed.

Hey, no eavesdropping, and no cheating!

The third round was a grueling affair, as casual pool volleyball at the beach goes. The guys pulled out to an early lead, but then Jennifer started in with a few extra little suggestive flaunts as she jumped for the ball, and the other girls quickly caught on. Nothing too overt, as all the guys were family of some sort except to Lea, and she was pretty bashful, even in Jennifer's one-piece. Still, the female team caught back up.

After that the score was neck and neck until it reached 21 guys, 20 girls. The rounds were to twenty one, but the 'you gotta win by two' rule was in effect, so there were several match points before the guys finally won. This was followed by lots of guy high fives and grunting, and lots of girl eye-rolling and boo-hissing.

As grueling casual pool volleyball isn't really all that grueling, once the guy celebration was over and everyone took a quick refreshment break, they all still wanted to play, so the teams were re-organized to make things more even. As the two tallest players, Zane and Jack were always on opposite teams. Everyone else floated back and forth from match to match.

Late in the afternoon, in what Kathleen decreed would be the last match before everyone cleaned up for dinner, the rotation had Jack facing off against Cindy. Each time they came to the net, Jack made a great show of spiking the ball over the shorter woman. The third time this happened, instead of bothering to jump to try to block Jack's shot, Cindy reached under the net and grabbed the bottom of Jack's trunks. Jack's jump had been an enthusiastic one, so Cindy's little maneuver was more successful than she had intended; she shucked his trunks down to his knees. As both Jack and Cindy has been facing each other very close to the net, this resulted in her, and pretty much just her, getting an up close and personal view of his privates, while Sarah, who was behind Jack, got a full moon.

Jack collapsed down into the water, sputtering and red as a beet as he scrabbled to pull his shorts back up. Cindy's 'serves you right' smirk, while in place, was more than slightly dented by the image playing over and over in her mind of Jack's impressive endowment appearing a few inches in front of her nose. Sarah, who had been directly behind Jack, had meanwhile fallen back into the water moaning, "My eyes! My eyes!" melodramatically over and over. Lea, who had been diagonally behind, looked stunned, but perhaps didn't find the sight quite as objectionable as her teammate.

Jack narrowed his eyes at Cindy and said softly. "I'll get you back for that."

She returned the look, her smirk now fully in place. "Take you best shot, big guy."

Jack's spike had actually scored, and that ended the game. Everyone razzed Jack as they got out of the pool, but he had recovered enough to return fire.

So your protection powers don't extend to my getting publicly humiliated? Jack complained sarcastically once he and Jennifer reached their towels.

Well, they might have if the situation had been one that threatened you in some way. As it was, Cindy will be fantasizing about large cocks for awhile... well, fantasizing more than she has been. She's pretty horny and frustrated. Her frustration will go up even further due to the fact that the real-life big cock she just saw on such close display belongs to her off-limits nephew.

The only other people that saw much of anything were Sarah and Lea. Your relationship with Sarah looks to be... congenially adversarial, shall we say?... so I would be surprised if this was the first time you mooned her. As for Lea, well, the view of your tight, firm beefcake has her boiler heating up another few degrees.

Is that a problem?

He could sense her mischievous grin as she replied, If things go well, perhaps only for Zane, and I don't think he would mind having that particular problem.

Jack followed his towel-clad Genie the rest of the way back to their room in silence, enjoying the view of her terrycloth-wrapped form and the long legs below; their tan, silken skin still glossy from the vestiges of suntan lotion that he so liberally applied earlier in the day. He then admired the view of the damp swimsuit clinging to her skin as the towel dropped to the floor. The air conditioning proved that the cups of the bathing suit did indeed have their lining removed, and the floral print was not quite up to the task of masking things this time. He stopped her, though, as she began to remove the suit. She looked at him questioningly.

"Won't you join me in the shower, Jack? I smell like chlorine and suntan lotion right now."

Jack grinned. "I know. Believe it or not, I find those aromas on a beautiful woman who has just come in from a day at the pool a turn-on."

She stepped closer and put her arms around him, the kiss on his chest of chilled, diamond hard nipples through her suit sending a shiver through him that had nothing to do with the air conditioning. "You do, do you? Well, we do have an hour or so before dinner..."

Jack leaned down to kiss her deeply for a moment before pulling away. "Would you rather I didn't smell like pool and lotion?"
