For most of the kids at Princess Mary High, the miserable weather on the last day of the summer semester failed to dampen their excitement for, during the impending holidays, many were heading out of province to visit family or friends in sunnier parts of Canada. Others were even headed out of the country for trips with parents to Europe, Mexico, Hawaii and any number of other destinations more, or less, exotic. But for one quartet of 15-year old students in particular, the wet weather indirectly changed their lives and led to a summer that none of them would ever forget. Steve Kowalchuk was everyone's idea of the archetypical computer nerd; tall, skinny, with sparkling brown eyes behind dark-rimmed glasses, and an unruly mop of lank brown hair. As though determined to live up to the stereotype, he was usually dressed in mismatched clothes that looked as though they had never been pressed since he first got them. But what he lacked in fashion sense, he more than made up for in skill and passion for his pet subject... computer programming. He often talked about it in terms so rarefied that even his fellow enthusiasts were soon over their heads. In short, he was a geek amongst geeks. It may have been partly genetic. His father was a Mathematics Professor and his mother was a Marketing Analyst. That year, both were travelling in the Far East, leaving Steve to look after the house under the nominal supervision of an elderly aunt who lived nearby but who confined her involvement to a brief telephone call once a week. Having the house to himself suited Steve admirably since he was given to highly irregular hours, sometimes sitting at the computer all night if a project had really caught his imagination. Angelina (Gina) Amadelli was the youngest child of a large Italian family. Her parents, Alberto and Lucia, owned a highly successful small restaurant on the City's east side and, from the time she was old enough to wipe a table, she had helped her parents on weekends and holidays, alongside her older sister Bettina and her brother Marco. Other siblings had already married and moved out to their own homes but the family was close and still got together as often as they could. Gina had the olive skin and curly black hair that was common to one with her Latin heritage. Although she was generally regarded as a "looker", she hated the fact that she was only 5'2", especially as she figured that she had probably done all the growing she was going to do. She was also unsure if she appreciated nature endowing her with a 36-inch D-cup breasts since just about all the guys she knew tended to talk almost exclusively to her chest. Traditional Catholics, her family was extremely protective of "their baby" and she was not allowed out of the house in the heavy make-up and the figure- hugging fashions favoured by most of her peers. Her ultra-conservative clothing would have made her a laughing stock at school had she not been the first to make all the self-deprecating jokes but she was also feisty enough to look after herself if push came to shove. She had won herself a degree of acceptance because she was funny but her circle of close friends was extremely small. Principal among them that year was an unlikely ally. Ashley Gunnarsen was her polar opposite. She was very tall – 5' 10", and still growing. Slim as a willow wand, small-busted and with long blonde hair, she was the very picture of Scandinavian beauty. Ashley was extremely shy, exceptionally bright and, therefore, quite intimidating to most of her peers. Her father, Matts, had been a structural engineer who had moved to Vancouver from Stockholm, with his wife Astrid, in the late 1960's to start his own company. He had been very successful and would frequently fly his own four- seater aircraft to projects all over the province. One flight was due to take him up to Bella Coola. The West Coast mountains of British Columbia are considered to be amongst the most dangerous places on earth to fly because of the speed with which the weather can change. Matts had taken off from Vancouver in perfect VFR weather but a sudden low pressure system had caused clouds to sweep in off the ocean and envelop him as he was flying into a narrow pass through the mountains. In virtually zero visibility, he had flown into a wall of rock while attempting to make a 180-degree turn. The ensuing investigation had ruled that the accident was caused by pilot error and the fine print in his life insurance policy had allowed the carrier to invalidate his coverage. As a result, Astrid had been forced to sell their lovely family home in Shaughnessy and she and Ashley now lived in a pleasant two-bedroom waterfront apartment overlooking False Creek, close to the city's core. Even with the move, Astrid had to work two jobs to maintain their standard of living and was usually gone for most of the day and all evening. On school days, Ashley would get home in the afternoon, prepare an evening meal for the two of them, and exchange news briefly of the day's events before her mother dashed out again. Then she would normally have a chat on the phone with Gina before spending a solitary evening studying. Ashley enjoyed Gina's sense of humour and envied her boldness. Gina was in awe of Ashley's "blonde goddess" aura and envied the way that she could make any clothes look the height of fashion. Kevin Bainbridge was an outsider for a different reason. He had recently decided that he wanted to become an actor. And he had an inside track. His parents, Tom and Kathy, worked in Vancouver's thriving film industry. Tom was a much sought-after Director of Photography and Kathy usually found herself in charge of the costume department. As often as possible, they worked on the same project, which meant that they were usually gone for 16 hours a day. The downside was that Kevin saw very little of them. The upside was that he was able to get onto film sets. Over the years, he had met and talked with a number of internationally recognised names and had had his appetite for the business whetted. He was slight of build and had what he would describe as average looks. Definitely not a "jock' but, as he pointed out to his parents, there is as much work for average guys as there is for stars. However, in a world where "jocks" rule, Kevin found himself regarded with some suspicion. Some figured that he had ideas too big for his boots and a few even figured him for a "faggot". Kevin had learned to just ignore such comments and go his own way. The only person who had been marginally supportive was Ashley who, when she had learned of his ambition, had said quietly "Go for it, Kevin". Kevin had been stunned. He had formed a major crush on her weeks before but didn't think that she knew even his name. He could never have imagined summoning up the courage to approach her before that but now maybe, one day... The first weekend of the summer holiday began as it meant to go on ... wet! Kevin spent a rare day with his parents on the Saturday and then, on Sunday, began to give serious thought as to how to utilise the days ahead. He came to the conclusion that, if he was going to become an actor, he should start researching where the best training was to be found and what the admission requirements might be, so that he could begin to focus his studies. The one restriction that Tom and Kathy had placed on him was that he was not to use Tom's computer. It stored all their contracts, work records, financial records and their contact database. Even the accidental loss of those files would have been a major inconvenience and Kevin respected their reasons. He considered who else he knew who might have Internet access, and immediately thought of Steve. It took no more than a quick telephone call for Steve to invite him to stop by his place the next day. Steve enjoyed demonstrating his computing skills and was always willing to help anyone interested in learning. As Kevin hung up the phone and realised that he was taking an important first step, self-doubt began to creep into his mind. Was he perhaps being unrealistic? Was acting something that he could do? And then he remembered Ashley saying, "Go for it". What had made her say it? Well, why not ask her! He'd been looking for any excuse to talk to her and this would serve as well as anything else. He looked up her number and, feeling a knot forming in his stomach, called her, expecting to get an answering machine. She answered on the first ring. "This is Ashley." "Hi, Ashley. It's Kevin Bainbridge." "Oh, hi Kevin. You're a surprise. I was expecting it to be Gina." "No, just me. Look, I know this is kind of weird but I wanted to ask you about something you said the other day." "Sure, okay. What did I say?" "It was when you heard that I wanted to get into acting. It seems that just about everybody I know at school thinks I'm nuts, except you - and I was wondering what you really thought about the idea." "Me? Wow. Seriously?" "Seriously." "Okay, let me think. There was a few seconds pause before she spoke again. "Well... I have no idea if you have the talent but at least you have the connections to find out. It seems to me that if there is something that you really want to do in life and you have the opportunity to do it, you'd have to be crazy not to go for it. At least, that way, you won't ever look back and say, 'If only'. Besides, you could just as easily be great." "I see what you mean. Thanks, Ashley. That makes sense. While we're talking, can I ask you something?" "I guess." "I know how the guys at school give a hard time to anyone who wants to do something different, but have you ever thought about fashion modelling?" There was a long pause. "Ashley?" "Sorry, Kevin. It's just that... well, I've been approached on the street several times by fashion scouts but, in every case, they were really just trying to sell me a training programme. I looked into it but the training, and the portfolio they say I must have, cost several thousand dollars. We just don't have that sort of cash at the moment." "Is it something you would want to do though? I think you'd be great." "Thanks for the vote of confidence. Yes, there's a part of me that would like to be successful at it, although I'm not sure that I'm ready for some of the more extreme clothes that you see on the runway these days. But, in any case, it's out of the question at the moment." "That's just the local scene. I would think that if you were seen by some of the bigger international agencies, you'd probably find one that would be happy to sign you up and provide the necessary training." "Maybe, but I've no idea how I would find out where to contact them." "Hey, that's the easy part. I'm going over to Steve's place tomorrow to research acting schools. I know he'd help you find addresses for Modelling Agencies. It's a starting point at least. Why don't you come over too?" "I don't know, Kevin. Gina and I were planning to go to the Mall together." "Ashley, you can go to the Mall anytime. You just told me that if I had an opportunity, I'd be crazy not to go for it. You lose nothing by learning more and, besides, it will probably be fun. Bring Gina with you. Steve won't mind." "You know what, Kevin, you're right. I guess I should be prepared to follow my own advice. Look, I'll call Gina and, if she's up for it, we'll stop by. What time?" "Around 10.30 to 11.00." "Fine. If we don't show, it's because Gina has other plans. Otherwise, we'll see you at Steve's in the morning." "Great! And thanks." "Thanks?" "For encouraging me." "Oh, that. You're welcome. Thanks yourself. See you." "Right." Kevin sat back and couldn't quite stop smiling. MONDAY Kevin tucked his head down and trudged through the steady summer downpour to arrive at Steve's home a few minutes before 10:30. Steve came to the door in his usual dishevelled state; bare feet, old jeans with the knees torn out, black T-shirt and hair all over the place. Kevin shucked off his waterproof jacket and Steve hung it in the hall closet. He led Kevin down a flight of stairs to the basement. The basement consisted mainly of one large room plus a storage area, laundry facilities and a washroom at the foot of the stairs. At the far end, Steve had set up his computer equipment, which was dominated by a 24" monitor. The CPU was state of the art, assembled from components, by Steve himself and the adjacent bench was covered with peripherals; router, printer, scanner, external hard drives and various pieces of hardware that Kevin was totally unable to identify. He did note however that, although Steve's appearance might seem scruffy, his work area was extremely well organized and surprisingly tidy. The whole room was carpeted and had two mismatched, three-seat sofas on opposing walls, each covered with a number of colourful cushions. Kevin followed Steve over to the computer. "So, what exactly was it you wanted to find out?" "I want to get a list of Acting Schools in North America and perhaps England. I need to find out what their entry requirements are." "Shouldn't be a problem. We can start with a string search in Google" He tapped some keys on the keyboard and connected to the Internet. He clicked on an icon and the "Google" search engine appeared. "There you go. Now all we have to do is enter what it is we are looking for and it does the rest." At that moment, the front door bell chimed. "Who the hell is that?" Steve exclaimed. "I'm not expecting anyone." "Oh, I forgot to tell you. I mentioned to Ashley that I was coming here and she has something she'd like to look up as well. She'll probably have Gina with her. I hope that's okay." "No problem. Under that old-fashioned gear Gina wears, I reckon she's quite a fox." He bounded up the stairs and Kevin heard voices in the hallway as the girls came in and rain gear was hung in the closet. Gina was the first to appear down stairs. She was dressed as she might have been for school; black skirt to below the knees, white blouse, little or no makeup. She was laughing and talking up a storm, as usual. "Wow, Steve. Do you really have this place to yourself all summer? You are lucky. What a great space. Hi Kevin. Hey, look at this stuff. Is it all yours? Did you build it? What does it all do?" Steve followed her down the stairs grinning at her chatter. Behind him came Ashley and, at the sight of her, Kevin felt his pulse-rate increase. She was wearing a pair of form-fitting grey pants that were tailored to perfection and a pink roll-neck sweater that clung to her slender frame. She smiled at him and nodded a greeting. "Make yourselves comfortable," Kevin said as he sat back down at the computer. "We were just looking up some stuff for Kevin when you arrived." Kevin stood looking over Steve's shoulder and the two girls fanned out beside him as Steve proceeded to explore some of the sites brought up by the search string. Over the next twenty minutes, they printed off pages of information which Kevin scooped up and arranged in one neat pile. Finally, they had exhausted the relevant sites on the list. "Who's for a coke?" Steve asked. "Please," answered three voices in unison and Steve dashed upstairs to fetch a six-pack from the fridge. "So what was it that you wanted to find out, Ashley?" he asked, as they stood round drinking their sodas. "Oh, it's not important," Ashley replied. "Of course it is," said Kevin at once. "Ashley wanted to get a list of the major international modelling agencies around the world. I think she'd make a great fashion model." "Me too," Gina added. "Right on, Ashley," Steve enthused. "Besides, I have no problem with looking at sexy supermodels." He sat back down at the computer. This time, Gina stood to his left and Ashley to his right. Kevin took up a position behind Ashley and, as he did so, caught a waft of perfume, light and fragrant. It took him a moment before he realised that what he was smelling was her long, lustrous hair, which fell down her back to well below her shoulders. He leaned forward a little and inhaled again, feeling a sharp stirring in his groin. To his embarrassment, he saw Gina staring at him. He grinned sheepishly at her and turned his attention back to the screen. Steve typed in "modeling" as a new search string. The screen changed instantly. "Fucking hell," he gasped and then looked up at the girls. "Sorry, but look at that!" He pointed to a line that said "Results 1 – 10 of 5,850,000". "That's nearly six million sites. We'd better refine the search." He typed in Fashion Modeling and the numbers changed to 177,000. "That's a bit more manageable. Now let's see." He opened up some twenty sites in succession from the first three pages of results. As well as contact information, they found online portfolios with more than a few pictures of models who were either nude or wearing ultra-revealing clothing. Kevin noted that Ashley went very quiet as these images flashed onto the screen. He and Kevin ogled the female models, picking out their favourites. Steve printed off contact addresses for the larger, better-known Agencies, and Gina and Ashley collected the sheets together. "I think that will do for the moment, Steve," said Ashley at the end of an hour. "Okay," said Steve. "If you're sure." "Steve," said Gina, "we've only got through the first three pages of listings. What about later pages? What are they?" Steve opened a page from the middle of the queue and looked at the headers. "Looks mainly like so-called glamour models." Gina pointed to one site at random. "Try that one." Steve opened up the home page to reveal a series of thumbnail pictures of the "glamour models" represented. "She's pretty," said Gina, pointing at a tiny image. Steve double-clicked on the thumbnail and a new set of mini images opened up, each of the same girl wearing less and less clothing in each shot. In the later ones, she was completely naked and had produced a very phallic looking dildo, which she then proceeded to kiss. "My god," said Gina. "If that's 'glamour', what on earth is on the last pages?" "Probably hardcore porn sites," Steve grinned. "Porn sites?" Gina giggled. "Probably. As far as the net is concerned, porn makes the money and a few porno sites pop up in almost any category that you search." Gina was positively bouncing up and down. "Can we look at a couple?" "Gina," Ashley gasped. "Oh, come on, Ashley. Don't wimp out on me. I may not get another chance for ages. Think of it as educational. The guys got to see naked girls. I've never seen a real adult male naked in my life, and if my parents have their way, I never will... not until I'm safely married off. Not even then if they thought that they could prevent it. And, unless you've been lying to me, neither have you. Here's our chance. Besides, I'd rather do my exploring remotely, through the computer than up close and personal in the back seat of some horny jock's truck." Ashley blushed. "Well, I guess that Kevin and I have both looked at what we wanted to see. I suppose it's only fair that you have your turn. But, honestly, Gina!" "Hey, it'll be a laugh, and at least then I'll know what the girls at school are talking about. After all, we're all friends here. Come on Steve. Click that mouse." "It's naked men you're looking for, is it?" Steve grinned. "You've got it." "You probably need some of the gay sites then." "Gay sites?" Kevin sounded nervous. "That's right," Steve replied, "although most of the hardcore sites will have both men and women. But if it's naked men Gina wants, the gay sites are the place." "You seem to know an awful lot about it," Kevin observed. "Well, like I say, they're hard to avoid a lot of the time but it can become pretty boring very quickly." "Stop talking and get clicking," Gina snapped. Steve smiled at her and started working with the mouse and keyboard. In moments, a new page of headers appeared and he clicked on the first site. There was a gasp from both Gina and Ashley as the first picture appeared. "My God, look at the size of that thing," gasped Gina. Picture after picture streamed across the screen showing males of all ages, races, and sizes, each seemingly gifted with a prodigious member that was clearly seen either flaccid or erect. It was Kevin's turn to fall silent as feelings of inadequacy filled his mind. He noted that, in spite of her protests, Ashley was not turning away. She did however look thoughtful. Gina continued to giggle and make jokes until they encountered a site that featured male couples doing what gay male couples do. At this point, Steve closed the Internet connection and looked up at the others. "Anyone fancy a sandwich?" That broke the tension. "I'll help," said Gina immediately, and she and Steve headed for the kitchen. Ashley turned and Kevin was surprised to see that her nipples were clearly erect beneath her sweater. She saw him looking at her chest and turned scarlet, folded her arms in front of her and marched off up the stairs. He followed her, grinning. In the kitchen, Gina and Steve had busied themselves with bread, butter, mayo, cheese and tomatoes. Kevin glanced out of the window and saw that it was still raining hard. "Not much of a day out there," he commented. "If you want to hang out here this afternoon, it's fine with me. It's been fun having someone to talk to for a change." "Sure. Why not?" Gina smiled. "What about it, Ash?" "If you like. Sure." "It's okay with me," Kevin nodded. "Great. Let's eat," said Steve, passing out the sandwiches. The chatter ranged over a wide range of topics as they munched the food and drank more cokes. When they had finished, Gina stacked plates in the dishwasher, together with other crockery and cutlery that had accumulated in the sink over the weekend. "You really should wash up at least twice a year," she quipped. "You reckon?" Steve grinned. After lunch, they trooped back down the stairs. Steve grabbed four large cushions from the sofas and arranged them in a loose circle on the floor. He sat on one and the others joined him on the floor, Kevin facing him. The girls sat, one either side between the boys. "Steve," said Gina, "thanks for helping us all out today." "Yes, Steve," Kevin added. "That was a great help. Thanks." "Me too," said Ashley. 'Thank you." "Hey, guys. It was no biggie. I'd probably have spent the morning down here anyway." "Well, it was quite an eye-opener for me, I can tell you" laughed Gina. "My parents would kill me if they knew what I'd been looking at. Correction, first, they'd kill Steve for showing me. Then they'd kill me for looking!" "I think you're safe," Kevin smiled. "None of us is likely to tell them. Besides, Gina, you can see almost as much on television these days." "Not in our house you can't. Honestly, I don't get it. I mean, I love my parents and all that, but I don't understand them. Sex is a taboo subject. They've never talked to me about it...thank God! What an embarrassing session that would be. I mean, I know school teaches us the basics but you can't pretend that those drawings prepare you for... for what we saw earlier. No wonder a lot of teens learn most of what they know "on the job", as it were." "True," said Steve. "And then adults wonder why things sometimes go wrong and some kids find themselves in trouble." "Hey," Gina laughed suddenly, "this is great. It's the first time I've ever felt comfortable talking about this stuff with guys around. We should do this again." "Anytime," said Steve. "This place is always available." "I've got an idea," said Gina. "I really mean it when I say that I feel comfortable here with you guys. I think it would be great to have a place like this where we could talk about absolutely anything we wanted, and know that nothing we said would ever leave the room. I mean, think about it. Nobody at school is ever really totally honest when they talk to you. 'I like your hair' when what they mean is 'it looks a mess'. 'Nice shoes' means 'if they ever come back into fashion'. You know what I mean?" "I do," said Kevin. "Although guys are much more in your face. I have absolutely nothing in common with the football and hockey crowd but I feel very comfortable here, and I'd certainly go along with Gina if you other two agree." "You already know that I'm in," said Steve. "What about you, Ash?" asked Gina. "I guess." "You don't sound too sure" "No, it's not that. No, if you're all up for it, it's fine with me too." "Okay," said Steve. He assumed the pompous tone of a politician. "The Basement Club" is hereby formally constituted. Within its sacred precincts, each and every word we utter shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and whatsoever is said or done here will never be spoken of beyond these four walls to others. Hands up all in favour." Four hands rose as one. "Carried," said Steve. "One other suggestion," said Kevin. "Since there are four of us, if something comes up on which there may be disagreement, we should all go along with a simple majority decision. Is everyone okay with that?" Again, four hands went up "Okay, Gina," said Steve. "The club is in session. Was there something in particular you wanted to talk about?" "No, not really. Well, yes actually. I guess there was. Curiosity more than anything else." "Go ahead." "Well, I was going to ask you and Kevin a question, but now I'm not sure." "Hey, what did we just all agree to? And it was your idea in the first place." "Okay. Well, when I was asking you to find me some naked guys earlier, I sort of made it obvious that both Ashley and I are still virgins." Ashley rolled her eyes. "Ye gods, Gina. Could you be a little more embarrassing, do you think?" "I'll try," Gina smiled. "So here's the question. You know about us but we don't know about you. Are either of you two still virgins?" Steve swallowed hard but did not avert his gaze. "Gina, don't you know that computer geeks are right at the very bottom of the pile when it comes to finding girlfriends. So, no, I haven't done the deed yet. At least, not with another person." Even Ashley grinned at that. Gina gave Steve a smile. "Actually, I think you're quite cute," she said, then looked over at Kevin "What about you, Kevin?" Even though he knew it was coming, Kevin felt the heat in his face but he took his cue from Steve. "I guess that would-be actors rank only slightly higher than nerds when it comes to girlfriends so I've had no more luck than Steve so far. Not that it bothers me too much." He saw the looks of disbelief. "I'm lying of course," he added with a grin. "Holy Mary," said Gina. "Four virgins. What are the odds of that? Ashley, how come you still are? I mean, Papa would kill any man who came near me but you're gorgeous and you have an apartment to yourself most of the time. So how come? You have to tell the truth remember." "For one thing, I've never dated. For another, I don't think I'm ready. Actually, having seen those pictures today, I know I'm not ready." Gina looked thoughtful. "What is it about sex that makes it so interesting, do you think? Steve, you told us that porn is everywhere on the net and that it quickly becomes boring. But you and Kevin were getting quite turned by those naked models. What's the big attraction if you've seen it all before?" "I don't know, Gina. Probably what you said... you know... curiosity. Some of those models are pretty good-looking and they've got great bodies. I guess it just makes guys feel good." "Horny, you mean." "That too." "Well, it's been quite a day. I never imagined when we came here this morning that I'd get to see my first adult naked male." "Well," said Steve. "Technically, you haven't." "What do you mean?" "What you saw was a photograph of a naked male. Not quite the same thing." "True, but as close as I'm likely to get for a hundred years." "As this is true confession time," Steve said, "I guess that I should say that pictures are as close as I've ever come too, if that makes you feel any better." "Not really," said Gina. "You too Kevin?" Kevin nodded. "Sad but true." "God, we're a pathetic group," Gina laughed. "We all admit we're curious – well, all except Ashley maybe..." "Oh, I think Ashley is curious as well," said Kevin with a grin. Gina pounced on the comment. "How come? Do you know something we don't know?" "Kevin!" Ashley warned. "Let's just say that pictures can stimulate girls as well as guys." Ashley blushed furiously, folded her arms and looked at the floor. Gina giggled at Kevin. "Well, I noticed that sniffing a girl's hair has the same effect on some people." It was Kevin's turn to blush as Ashley turned to stare at him. "I can see that this is going to take practice," Gina sighed. "What is?" asked Ashley "Being honest with each other. I mean, why is it that we have such trouble saying what we mean, especially to friends?" Kevin considered the question for a moment. "Perhaps because we don't want to unintentionally hurt their feelings and risk losing the friendship." "Okay, true, but if we are really friends, it should be a given that we care for each other and wouldn't ever try to hurt anyone deliberately. For example, Kevin, what would be so wrong with you admitting to Ashley that you are totally nuts about her?" Kevin was stunned. "Don't deny it. You can hardly take your eyes off her. You got a hard on just sniffing her hair." Kevin didn't know where to look. All three were now staring at him. "Jeez, Gina," he spluttered. "You could embarrass for Canada." "Maybe, but we promised to answer questions honestly and that's not an answer." "Okay, well then, of course I like Ashley. What's not to like?" "So, tell her, you idiot, not me," Gina giggled. "I'm sorry, Ashley. It's just that I've always preferred tall, slim girls to the Playboy types and, ..." Ashley gave a quick, meaningful glance down at her breasts. "Well, I certainly couldn't be less like Playboy material. Gina, on the other hand..." The boys both turned and Gina saw their eyes go to her own substantial assets. She felt herself turning pink. "Hey, it's not my fault. Blame genetics." "I'm not complaining," said Steve. "You'd stack up against any of the girls that we saw on the net today, as far as I'm concerned." "Thank you, Steve... I think... but I can't imagine ever posing for pictures like that and then having people all over the world staring at them, and worse." "Pity," Steve lamented. "I bet you'd be well worth looking at!" Gina gave him a questioning look. Steve held her gaze. "Well, you asked me to be honest," He added. "That's true. I did. Okay, thank you. And at least you two guys have looked me in the eye as you talked to me today, not just stared at my boobs." "And I think Ashley would make some of those supermodels look plain by comparison" Kevin grinned. "For what it's worth, Ashley, I love your body just as it is." "You've never seen it," she snapped back. "True, but I can dream, can't I?" "Well, I certainly can't stop you, can I!" she said grim-faced. "Ashley, you're not being fair," said Gina. "There are guys who turn you on too. From what Kevin said earlier, you were turned on this morning, so don't pretend that you are offended." "I'm not offended," Ashley said more gently. "I'm sorry if I snapped at you, Kevin. I'm pleased that you like me as I am; of course I am. I'm just not used to talking about this stuff yet." "Look," said Steve, "why don't we change the subject for a while. How often do you guys want to get together? As far as I'm concerned, this place is available all summer. The weather this week looks as though it's going to be the shits so, if you want to make this a regular hangout until it clears up and we can get outside..." "Why not!" Gina said at once. "I'm not expected to help out at the restaurant until later this summer. What do you say, Ash?" "I've nothing special planned. As long as I'm home in time to make dinner for mum, the rest of the time is mine, so, okay. I'll fit in with the rest of you." "Me too," said Kevin, hardly able to believe his luck that he might get to spend more time with Ashley that summer than he could ever have hoped for. "Right. Why don't we all meet here around 10.30 each morning and see how things go," Steve suggested. "I'll bring lunch tomorrow," Gina volunteered. And that is what they decided to do. When they broke up, Gina and Ashley walked off through the rain with a wistful Kevin watching them until they turned the first corner. TUESDAY Another wet but warm day saw the group arrive almost simultaneously at Steve's door. He answered the bell, dressed much as the previous day, although the T-shirt was different and he was wearing a pair of white socks which were inside out. As they took off their rainwear, Kevin noticed that Gina was wearing a black, lacy blouse over a black bra. The neckline allowed a small amount of her ample cleavage to show. Her skirt was also shorter than usual, ending just above her knees and she was in a higher heel than they had ever seen her wear before. "You look nice today, Gina," he said. Steve turned to look at Gina. "You sure do," he echoed. "Thanks guys," Gina smiled. Ashley was wearing perfectly fitted jeans and a white sleeveless sweater. Runners and white socks completed the outfit. Kevin was casual in golf shirt and slacks. They went down to the basement and took up the same places on the floor cushions as the day before. "So, how's it going?" asked Kevin. Gina looked round the group. "It was strange when my folks got home last night. I mean, I had a great time yesterday but there was no way I could tell them why. 'What did you do today, sweetheart?' 'Got to look at a bunch of pictures of naked, gay men.' I don't think so! Luckily, they'd had a busy day at the restaurant so they were just happy that I was happy." "It's easier for us guys," said Kevin. "Steve doesn't have anyone to tell and my parents get in so late that all they can think about is getting some sleep before they are off again next morning." "What about you, Ashley?" Steve asked. "Everything okay?" "Yes, it was fine. Mum was impressed by the fact that I had a bunch of information on modelling. She was a bit concerned at first because of the money thing but I explained Kevin's idea that maybe I could find an Agency that would train me and she was cool." "What about you, Steve? What did you do last night?" asked Gina. "Well, I put some more RAM in my computer and spent a little time doing some programming but, mostly, I was thinking about yesterday and hoping that you would all show up again this morning." "Well, we're all here, said Gina "but I'm not sure that we've all accepted the rules." "What do you mean?" said Ashley "I think we are still afraid to say exactly what we mean." Steve looked puzzled. "How so?" "Let me ask Kevin a question," she responded. "Me?" said Kevin. "Yes, you. When I got here this morning, you said that I looked nice. What did you mean exactly?" Kevin looked puzzled. "I meant that you looked nice." "How exactly ...'nice'?" Kevin shook his head. "Gina, I don't know what it is you want me to say." "Just the truth but I can see I'm going to have to work at this, so let me ask you a different question. What was I wearing yesterday?" "Geez, Gina. I don't know. A skirt and a blouse, I guess." "Ten out of ten for observation. What am I wearing today?" "A different skirt and blouse?" "So what's different that made you say I looked 'nice' today?" "God, Gina. You make it sound as though 'nice' is an insult. I meant that you look... I don't know... pretty... sexy." "At last. There's the word. Thank you, Kevin. That is the first time that anyone has actually told me to my face that I look sexy. I actually had to borrow my sister's clothes to do it but it was worth it. So why were you so afraid of saying it?" "I wasn't afraid exactly but you have to be really careful what you say to people these days. Saying the wrong thing can get you into real trouble real fast." "I'm sorry, Kevin. You're right of course, but the point I was trying to make yesterday was that, amongst ourselves down here, we can be totally honest. I think it's great that you and Steve think I'm sexy. I wasn't too thrilled yesterday when Steve said that he'd like to see pictures of me naked but, when I thought about it last night, I was kind of happy to think that he put me in the same class as some of those models that I thought were totally gorgeous." "Well, you are," said Steve. "Right! Keep on smoking that stuff, buster. Anyway, although she may not admit it, I know that Ashley was happy when Kevin compared her body with some of those supermodels." Ashley glared at her. "Gina, that was just between you and me." "Sorry, Ash, but why? The guys came clean with us. Shouldn't we be straight with them? I've already admitted that I think Steve is cute. The least that Kevin deserves is to know that what he said made you feel good." "I said 'thank you'." "True, but I practically had to twist your arm." Ashley looked at Gina for a moment and then turned to face Kevin. "Gina is quite right, Kevin. I wasn't very nice. As I said, I'm just not used to talking about this stuff with anyone. I'm sorry, and thank you." "It's okay, Ashley. I understand. I get a little uncomfortable myself, but it is neat to be able to totally honest for a change." "How far does this honesty thing go?" said Steve thoughtfully. "What are you thinking?" asked Gina. "Well, is it more important to be honest or to avoid embarrassing friends, for example." Kevin cleared his throat. "Well, since I just admitted to getting uncomfortable, maybe I should try to answer that. Although all four of us have known each other for ages through school, we only got together as a close group for the first time yesterday so it's not surprising that it is taking a little while to be totally at ease but, speaking for myself, I see embarrassment as being a little stupid. I mean, if we were all guys here, we'd talk about anything, and probably lie our heads off while we were at it about our experiences with girls. But here, we've all admitted to having no experience so we have nothing to hide really. I vote for honesty." "Well said, Kevin," said Gina. "Ash?" "I'll probably be sorry I said this but, yes, I agree with Kevin on this. Honesty is more important." "I agree," Gina smiled. "Now, there's a surprise!" Ashley laughed. "Great," said Steve "because I've a question. Gina, why were you so anxious to see those websites yesterday?" "I told you. Curiosity. It's like there's this great band out there that everybody loves but you're parents say that you're not allowed to listen to it. It drives you nuts. I know that my family is just trying to protect me but they don't seem to get it that keeping sex a big, dark secret is just the thing that might make me do something stupid, just to find out what it's all about." "But now you know... at least about the naked males anyway." "I guess. After yesterday, there can't be too many surprises left... can there?" "Ashley, what about you? Are you still curious about things?" "Of course. I just keep quiet about it is all." "Kevin, without trying to deliberately embarrass Ashley, I'm guessing that you would have been very happy if she had been one of the models showing skin on the web." "Shit, Steve." Keith was aware of Ashley's stare. "Honestly, I'm not sure. On one side, of course I would, and if she does decide to go into modelling, showing some skin will be part of the job but I think Gina said it yesterday, about not liking the thought that guys all over the world were staring at her and getting off on it." "Okay," said Steve. "My turn for honesty. I think Gina is a fox and I would love to see her body. Kevin thinks Ashley is gorgeous and would die to see her body. Gina is an animal and would probably kill to see any male body." Everyone laughed. "And Ashley at least admits to still having some curiosity, even if only quietly and to herself. What if there is a way for us to actually enjoy our fantasies?" "What do you have in mind?" Asked Gina. "A game." "You're thinking of strip poker, aren't you?" Gina giggled. "Not really," said Steve. "I can't play poker. But something like that... yes." "Wow," gasped Gina. "Oh, wow! I think my father would die if he knew I was even thinking about it." "Are you thinking about it?" asked Ashley in a strained voice. "Of course I am," Gina replied. "I can't believe it, but I am thinking about it. How would it work?" "I have a suggestion if you are serious about it," said Kevin. "I thought you might," said Ashley coldly. "Ignore her, Kevin," said Gina. "What is it?" "Well, we take it in turns to deal each of us six cards. We look at our cards and pass two to the person on our left. Then we count up the cards and the person with the highest number of points gets to take something off. Aces count as one." "What if two people have the same score?" asked Gina. "They each draw another card until one loses." "That sounds like my sort of game," Gina grinned. "Basically, no skill required, just dumb luck. Oh, shit, okay. I'll give a go." "Kevin?" "If you guys are in, I'll play." "What about you, Ashley?" "It doesn't matter what I think. We all agreed that a simple majority would make it happen, so you'll go ahead no matter what I say." "You could leave if you are really unhappy about it," said Gina, "but I hope you won't. If we do decide to play, I'd like to have some moral support here. Besides, you might win every hand and not have to take anything off at all." Ashley gave Gina a long look and saw the unspoken pleading in her eyes. She took a deep breath. "Well, as we're all being so honest, I'm very unsure about this but I did say I'd go with a majority decision so I guess that, if you decide to play, I'll stay." "And play?" asked Steve. "And play," said Ashley. Gina high-fived Ashley. "Right on, girl." "Then I guess I'll find us some cards." said Steve and went up stairs. He returned with a well-worn pack, removed the jokers and then shuffled. "Who wants to deal?" he asked "You've got them. You deal them," said Kevin. Steve cut the cards and then dealt them, face down, onto the floor in front of each player, counting as he went. "Gina, Kevin, Ashley, me. Gina, Kevin...." As soon as all six cards had been dealt, each of them scooped up their hand and started arranging them. Suddenly Gina looked up. "Wait a minute. We've forgotten something." "What?" asked Steve. "What are you wearing, Steve? Everything." "Um, socks, T-shirt, jeans and underpants. Why?" "Socks count as one item so that's four items. What about you Kevin?" "The same. Socks, slacks, golf-shirt and underwear." "Four again. Ashley?" "Socks, Jeans, sweater and underwear." "Bra and Panties?" Ashley felt a blush starting. "Yes." "That's five. Take off your socks. It's not fair if we have more clothes than the guys." Ashley hesitated, then leaned forward and removed her socks and put them on the floor beside her. Kevin looked at her slender feet, with the carefully applied polish on each perfectly trimmed nail, and thought that he had never seen such sexy feet in his life. Gina's voice brought him back to the game. "I'm wearing my sister's skirt, my sister's blouse, my sister's bra and my sister's panties but I'm wearing my own panty-hose. That's five." She laid her cards face down on the carpet and stood up. Facing away from them, she reached up under her skirt and pulled down the pantyhose, which she deposited in the middle of the circle. Then she picked up Ashley's discarded socks and put them in the middle too before sitting down again. "Right, now we're all even. So, we pass two cards to our left. Is that it?" "Yes," said Kevin. Cards changed hands all round the group. "Now we count. As Steve dealt, you declare first, Gina," said Kevin. "Just a moment. Kings are thirteen, right?" "Right" She spread her cards on the floor so they could all see them. "Okay, I make that forty-six." Steve did a quick check. "Forty-six is right. Kevin?" Kevin put his cards down. They were nearly all court cards. "Fifty-seven." "Shit," said Steve. "That will take some beating. Ashley?" She fanned out her hand on the floor. "Fifty." "And I have thirty-two," said Steve, laying out his hand. "That makes Kevin the winner of the first round." Kevin stretched forward to remove his socks, "No, Kevin," Gina grinned. "Stand up so we can all get a good view." Kevin laughed, stood up, peeled off his socks and tossed them onto the pile. Then he sat back down. "Your cards, Gina." Said Steve, handing her the pack. Gina shuffled the cards a little awkwardly at first but soon had them distributed around the circle. Once again there was the selection of discards to be passed on and a quick totalling of their hands. "Kevin, You're shout," said Steve. "Thirty-nine." "Forty-three" said Ashley "I've got fifty-five," said Steve. "It's up to you Gina. What do you have?" "Forty-nine," she said with a big grin. Steve stood up, whipped off his socks and passed them quickly under the noses of the others, laughing, before dropping them on the floor. Gina passed the cards to Kevin. He shuffled, cut and dealt very efficiently. Cards changed hands, numbers were added and everyone looked at Ashley. "Twenty-six," she smiled. "Fifty-five... again" said Steve. "Will you please stop dealing kings to Ashley. She keeps giving them to me." "Forty." Gina declared. "Forty-four," said Kevin. "Sorry, Steve." "Look out guys. We girls are going to whip your asses." Gina giggled. "We'll see," said Steve as he stood up. He took off his T-shirt and flexed his arms like a body-builder before sitting down. He was rewarded with a warm laugh from Gina, and even Ashley smiled. Ashley took up the cards and shuffled. She dealt slowly and precisely until each player had the full complement of cards. This time, Kevin lost. Gina was bouncing up and down. "I warned you. Come on, Kevin. Get it off." Kevin grinned, stood up, removed his golf shirt and then sat again. He was aware of Ashley's appraising glance as he did so and wondered what was going through her mind at that moment. The atmosphere got a little more tense when he lost again on Steve's deal. "Oh boy," was the best that Gina could manage. Kevin stood again, more hesitantly this time, and undid his belt, unzipped his fly and slowly began to pull off his slacks with Ashley studying his every move. No emotion showed on her face but the fact that she was watching him caused his penis to begin stiffening against his boxers. He quickly finished removing his slacks and sat, hoping that she had not noticed his "problem". Gina dealt again. Kevin had forty-one, Ashley had forty-five, Steve had thirty-seven. Gina looked at her cards again. Kevin could hardly breathe. If Gina had less than forty-five, Ashley was going to have to take something off and, whatever it was, he figured he was going to see more of her than he had ever expected to see. "Forty-six" said Gina quietly. "On my own deal, too." She stood. Now that she was facing the moment of truth, all the bounce had left her. She hadn't really imagined that it would come to this. It had just been a game up to this point." "Gina, you don't have to do this," said Ashley. It was that which made up her mind. "Yes, Ashley. I do. I'm shaking, but we all agreed to play and the guys haven't complained about losing, so I'm not about to either." Her fingers were trembling as she tried to unbutton her blouse. Steve and Kevin watched as slowly, one by one, she got them undone. A gap appeared down the middle of the lacy fabric and her bra began to show. There were six buttons in all and, once she had managed all of them, she slid the blouse off her shoulders and arms onto the pile. The boys were mesmerised. The black bra only just managed to contain the creamy flesh within. A dark line of cleavage gave evidence of her ample breasts straining against the fabric. There was a sharp intake of breath from Steve as Gina sat. "Very nice, Gina," he nodded. "Just deal, Kevin," said Gina, pink in the face. So Kevin dealt and Steve lost which restored some of Gina's good humour. He stood and removed his jeans to reveal black Y-fronts, and tossed them onto the stack of discarded clothing. "Nice package, Steve" said Gina with a smile that was immediately returned. "Ashley's deal." When Gina lost again, she gave Ashley a hard look. "You sure lead a charmed life. You sure you're not dealing off the bottom?" She stood. "Oh, shit, here goes nothing." She unzipped her skirt and let it drop onto the floor. Her black panties, made from the same lacy material as the bra, clung to the generous curves of her buttocks but, all in all, the outfit was no more revealing than a bikini. That did not stop admiring glances from Steve and Kevin. Gina did a little pirouette that earned her an appreciative whistle before she sat again. Steve collected the cards, shuffled, cut and dealt. The swapping of cards took place. Gina lay down her hand. "Twenty-seven. Thank you, Lord." She smiled. "Thirty-two," Kevin declared. "Forty-two," Ashley sighed. Kevin held his breath. The call was the highest so far but could easily be topped by Steve and he suddenly realised how much he wanted to see more of Ashley's tantalising body. He looked at Steve and saw a huge grin spreading across his face. "Forty-one. Would you like to count them?" Ashley gave the cards a cursory scan before standing. Kevin's heart was pounding in anticipation and his penis was hard as a rock creating an obvious tent in his pants. Ashley calmly reached behind her back, slid her hands up under her sweater and, a moment later, pulled out a flimsy white bra. She dropped it with the other clothing and sat back down. "Strapless," moaned Gina. "How can you get away with strapless?" "Not a lot to support," Ashley replied morosely. Kevin was looking totally crest-fallen. The removal of her bra had left Ashley's body no more visible to him than before. True, he could see the slight protrusion that marked the position of her nipples at the tip of the gentle swelling of her breasts but it was less marked than he had seen the day before when she still, presumably, had a bra on. Ashley saw his look but said nothing as she waited for Gina to deal again. There was complete silence now. The guys were down to their underpants; Gina was left in bra and panties. Only Ashley was still fully covered but, with the next hand, that would all change since the odds were heavily in favour of one of them having to reveal more of themselves that they had ever done publicly before. Gina's heart was pounding as she dealt the cards. Kevin checked his hand. "Forty-eight." "Wow," said Gina. "Can anyone beat that?" "Not me," said Ashley. "Thirty-nine." "Well, I can," said Steve. "Fifty-six. Okay, Gina. How many?" She lay her cards down slowly. "Thirty-one. Sorry, Steve. If it helps, I'm really, really glad that the first live naked male that I get to see for real will be you." Steve got to his feet. "Oh, well. I suggested this so I can't blame anyone else." He turned his back, pulled down his Y-fronts and stepped out of them. His slim, white buttocks were clenched tight and he kept his legs together. Covering his crotch with one hand, he turned back to face them and discarded his underwear into the middle of the circle. "Steve," said Gina, "you're not going to spoil my treat, are you?" "I guess not," he said and took his covering hands away. There was a collective gasp. Although not particularly fat, his uncircumcised, limp penis was at least six inches long. Kevin saw that both Gina and Ashley were staring at it and he was reminded again that his own was far less impressive. He began to dread the possibility that he might have to follow Steve's example. What chance did he stand with Ashley when he was so modestly equipped? Steve sat. "That's me out. I just get to sit and watch." "Why don't you do the shuffling and dealing," Kevin suggested. "Is that okay with the rest of you?" "Sure," said Gina, and Ashley nodded agreement. The cards circulated, changed hands and were counted. Gina lost. "Oh, shit," she said. "Yes!!" Steve cheered. Gina got to her feet. As Steve had done, she turned her back to them, reached behind and unclipped her bra, tossing it backwards. Then she covered her breasts, cupping her left breast in her left hand and the right in her right. Slowly she turned back to face them. "I just want you to know that, apart from my mother, no one has ever seen what you are about to see." She took her hands away to reveal the most luscious, melon-sized breasts that Steve had ever seen. Their creamy young flesh was firm and, in spite of their size, sank only a little under the influence of gravity. At their tips were large, brown areolae from which protruded lighter coloured nipples, fully erect and tilted slightly upwards. Gina allowed the guys to look for a moment or two before she sat back down. As they looked at her, both Steve and Kevin found themselves sporting erections. Gina was staring at Steve's massive boner in amazement. He saw her gaze locked on his groin. "Jesus, Gina. Sorry, but you're fucking gorgeous," gasped Steve. "Absolutely fucking gorgeous!" "Beautiful, Gina," Kevin added, no longer trying to hide the fact that his pants were bulging.. Gina was beet red. "Thank you, guys. Deal, Steve." With the next hand, Kevin's worst fear was realised. He lost and found both girls now staring at him as he stood to shed both his dignity and his boxers. He decided that, if he was going to do this, he might just as well face them and get it over and done with. He slipped his fingers into the waistband of his shorts and started to slide them down his legs. The front of the waistband caught on his erect circumcised penis and pulled it downwards. As it cleared his shorts, it bounced back as though it was on a spring. As quickly as he could, he stepped out of his boxers, tossed them aside and sat. Ashley was looking at him and he saw a small smile cross her lips. Was it contempt, he wondered? "Good on you, Kevin," said Gina. "I guess it's just Ashley and I now." Steve dealt again and the girls exchanged two cards each. "How many, Ashley," Steve asked. ""Forty-eight." Gina's head snapped up. "How many, Gina?" asked Steve. "Forty-eight." "Shit... a draw," Kevin gasped. Steve fanned out the remaining cards and held them in front of Gina. "Pick a card," he instructed. Gina pulled a single card from the middle of the fan. Steve offered the cards to Ashley. She hesitated and then took a card from one end, glanced at it, then held it close to her chest.. "What do you have, Gina?" "Five," she answered with a smile, holding the card out for all to see. "Okay, Ashley. It's all down to you. What've you got?" Ashley looked at her card again. "An ace. Does that mean that I've won?" Gina looked disgusted. "Yes, and it means that I lose. Jeez, Ashley, when I said that you might win every hand, you didn't have to take it seriously." Ashley was now smiling broadly. Gina got to her feet. "I don't believe I'm doing this. Okay, Steve. You wanted to see me naked. Here goes." She pulled her panties down and off in one swift movement, placed her hands on her hips and rotated slowly through a full 360 degrees. Her stomach was slightly rounded and led down to a large thatch of black, curly pubic hair that completely hid the details of her genital area. Her buttocks were plump and curvaceous, her legs short but well shaped with the musculature of a dancer. Steven and Kevin had accepted the fact that now both had erections that were showing no signs of waning and could no longer be hidden. Gina nodded at both of them. "Thank you for those," she smiled "Gina, I said it before. You are fucking gorgeous." Steve grinned. "You really are pretty, Gina," Kevin added. Everybody stood and Kevin was acutely conscious once more that he was stark naked with a major erection and that Ashley was still fully dressed. He dragged his eyes away from Gina and looked at her. He found that Ashley's eyes were on his penis and that her nipples had, once again, become erect under her sweater. Was she comparing him with Steve and had Steve turned her on with his more impressive tool? "I suppose we should get dressed again," Kevin stammered. Gina suddenly moved into the centre of the circle. "Before we do, can I ask you a huge favour, Steve. Say no if you want, of course." "What is it Gina?" "May I touch it? Just for a moment. I've never been this close to one before." "Shit, Gina." There was a pause. "Okay, I guess ...if you really want to." The others watched in fascination as Gina reached out a tentative hand and wrapped it gently around Steve's shaft. "Wow, it feels soft and hard at the same time. And hot." She allowed her hand to explore along its length and then gently rolled back Steve's foreskin to reveal the pinkish red head, which now had a tiny drop of moisture gleaming at the tip. "Steve, is it alright if Ashley feels it too?" "I'll pass thanks, Gina." "Oh, Ashley. You're such a prude. Come on. Let's get dressed. I've brought lunch for everyone." Later, they reassembled in the basement. Gina led off the discussion once more. "It already feels as though this morning was a dream or something. I can't believe that I've now seen you guys naked, and that you've seen me naked, and that I still feel sort of comfortable with that." "Well, if it was a dream, it was a wet one," Steve joked. "Anyway, it couldn't have been a dream. I can never remember mine ten seconds after waking up but I certainly won't forget this morning in a hurry." "Nor me", Kevin added. "You're very quiet, Ashley." Gina observed. "Everything okay?" "It should be," Kevin complained. "She didn't have to strip." Gina pounced on him. "Hey, Kevin. That's not fair. Ashley didn't really want to join in, but she did and she played by the rules. Don't pick on her just because she won." Kevin looked shame-faced at Gina's outburst. "I'm sorry, Ashley. I wasn't suggesting that you cheated or anything like that." Ashley smiled faintly. "I know, Kevin. I didn't take it that way. I'm fine. Just a little confused by what has happened over the last two days." "What do you mean, 'confused'?" asked Steve. "It's hard to explain. If Gina hadn't decided to play and asked me to stay, there's no way I would have agreed to join in this morning. As it turned out, I found that I was not as shocked by seeing you guys undress as I thought I would be or, perhaps as I thought I should be." "I don't get that," said Gina. "Well," said Ashley "although I'm not religious, Dad was. He was brought up in a very strict Swedish Church that believed in hellfire and damnation if you were bad. And sex was one of those bad things that sent you straight to hell if you messed around with it outside of marriage. I thought that I had sort of forgotten all that stuff; you know; figured that it was all garbage but, every so often, I can still hear his voice warning me to stay away from it and keep myself pure. It's dumb I know, but..." "I know what you mean," said Gina. "Every time my parents warn me off of this stuff, they end up making it sound more exciting. I'm just so glad that we can talk here without any adults around to "protect" us. Anyway, I've got another question." "Just when you thought the water was safe again," Ashley said with a grin. "Ignoring that," Gina giggled, "I want to go back to something Steve said yesterday." "What was that?" Steve asked. "You made some comment, what was it... you said that you had never had sex, at least not with another person." "That was a joke, babe!" Steve said quickly. Gina looked him steadily in the eye. "Was it?" she said quietly. "What is it you're asking me, Gina?" "I guess I want to know if you get yourself off looking at photos of girls." There was absolute silence as Steve looked down at the floor for a moment before meeting her gaze again. "The truth?" "Of course." "Yes. If I didn't, I wouldn't have a sex life at all. And for what it's worth, all guys do. If they tell you they don't, they're lying." "Is that true, Kevin?" Kevin saw all eyes on him and wanted to sink through the floor. In the end, he decided to go with the truth. "Steve's right, as far as I know. I think that all guys do." Gina was insistent. "Do you?" "I'm a guy, so yes... sometimes. I'd burst if I didn't." "Do you always come?" Kevin shook his head in disbelief. "Christ, Gina." "I'm sorry, Kevin, but I don't know anything about all this stuff and I feel stupid not knowing. You and Steve are free to ask us questions as well, you know. So, tell me, do you always come?" "Yes, Gina, I've always come." "You too, Steve?" "So far, and especially now I can fantasise about you." "Oh, great," Gina said. "Too honest for you?" "Okay, fair enough... I guess." "So, what about you, Gina. Do you fantasize and masturbate too?" "I'm not quite sure." "What do you mean, you're not quite sure?" "Well, some times, when I'm in bed and feeling horny, I'll rub myself but I'm sure that I've never had an orgasm and I know that I've never stuck one of those didos into myself. In any case, my sister sleeps in the room right next to mine and I don't want her to hear me. I do know, though, that she gets herself off occasionally because I hear her moaning. Listening to the girl talk in the locker room, I'd say that all girls do it too." "They're called dildos, not 'didos', and not getting off doesn't mean that you aren't masturbating. Just that you're not climaxing." Gina turned to Ashley. She was staring at the ground. When she felt Gina's gaze on her, she looked up and there was a tear running down her cheek. Gina was immediately all concern. "Ashley, are you okay? What is it?" Ashley wiped the tear away and tried to smile. "It's nothing. It's stupid. Oh, I'm too dumb to live. I thought that "nice girls", like I was brought up to be, didn't do that sort of thing and I've been feeling guilty for months because I've tried to do it a couple of times. In my case, it's my mother in the next bedroom with both our doors wide open. But to hear that everyone does it means that I'm normal. I've been thinking that I was really wicked and was going to Hell, just as my father had said I would." She looked up and met their gaze with a smile. "Well, I told you it was stupid." This time, the smile was genuine. Gina came over to Ashley a wrapped her arms around her. "See, Ash, I told you this would be educational. Now you can stop worrying about it. You're as normal as anyone I know." They exchanged hugs and Gina went back to her cushion. Ashley glanced at her watch. "Hey, guys, I've got to get out of here. Mother's at home tonight for once and I have to get the meal ready." "Okay," said Steve. "Are we meeting again tomorrow?" "Sure," said Gina. "I'll be here." "Me too," said Kevin. "Fine," said Ashley, moving towards the stairs. "Maybe we should talk about our fantasies tomorrow," Gina laughed as she, Ashley and Kevin put on their raincoats. "Good idea," said Steve. "See you in the morning guys." Ashley and Gina went one way and Kevin went the other as Steve closed the door. This time, he was the one who couldn't get the happy smile off his face. WEDNESDAY By 10:30, Gina, Steve and Kevin were settled in the basement but there was no sign of Ashley. "Has she phoned?" Kevin asked. "Not so far," Keith replied. "Was she really upset yesterday?" Kevin asked Gina. "I didn't think so," said Gina. "I mean, I know that she was very relieved that she didn't have to take her clothes off but it seemed to me that, by the end of the afternoon, she was feeling more at ease with everything." "Did she say much on the way home?" "Not a lot. She certainly didn't bitch about things." "Maybe we should try phoning her," Steve suggested. They were just getting up to do so when the front door bell rang. All three went upstairs to answer it. Ashley was standing on the front step with four plastic bags in her hands. "Sorry I'm late, guys, but I told mother that it was my turn to provide the lunch and I stopped off at the store to pick up some stuff." "God, Ashley, you had us worried," said Gina. "We thought you'd changed your mind about coming." "Actually, I nearly did but here I am." Kevin and Steve took the bags into the kitchen and Ashley hung her raincoat up in the closet. Under it, she was wearing white pants, pink blouse, white socks and flat heels. She and Gina followed the boys into the kitchen. When all the food had been placed in the fridge, they all went back down to the basement and sat round in their now familiar circle. "Okay, Ashley," said Gina. "Why did you nearly decide not to come back?" "I will try to answer that, I promise, but first of all I want to tell you all that I'm still not finding this at all easy. I know that it's my problem but that doesn't help, so just let me stumble through this as best I can, okay?" The others nodded agreement. "Okay. Kevin, can I ask you a question?" "Sure, Ashley." "It was pretty clear yesterday that you were disappointed when I managed to get through that card game without stripping. But you got to see Gina take her clothes off, so what made you so upset?" "Gee, Ashley." He thought about what she'd asked for a moment before continuing. "Well... okay, yes, I got to see Gina get naked..." "And you got turned on." "Yes, I got turned on. You saw that for yourself. But why wouldn't I? It was the first time I'd ever seen a girl strip to the skin and you've got to admit that Gina is beautiful. Naturally I got turned on." "But you still wanted to see me strip?" "Not if it was totally against your will, Ashley." "To quote Gina, that's not an answer. I'm talking about what you wanted not what I wanted." "You're right. Yes. I wanted to see you strip. Is that what you wanted to hear?" "If it's the truth, yes, but I'd like to hear why." "Fair enough." He turned to look at Gina. "Forgive me, Gina. You know that I find you attractive. Jesus, you saw how excited you made me..." "It's okay, Kevin. I understand. Just tell her." Kevin turned back to face Ashley. "The truth is that I have always preferred small-busted girls. I've told you all this before. I'm attracted to tall, slim girls who – as someone put it – are built for speed rather than comfort. And, much as Gina is stunning, I would truly have preferred my very first, real-life, naked woman to have been you. Why is that so hard to understand? "Barbara McCulloch." "Barbara McCulloch? What has she got to do with it?" Ashley cupped her hands and held them about eight inches in front of her chest. "Forty-two D. That's what it's got to do with it. She always has guys all over her. And didn't you hear what Gina said about guys always talking to her chest. What about all that jock talk? 'Bloody hell, look at the size of the tits on that one. I'd love to do her the big favour.' Then the tabloids are always full of girls with humongous boobs. They seem to be every man's fantasy, and I've got these." She pointed to her chest. "So, Kevin, to be honest, I thought that you were just trying to make me feel better." "God, Ashley. Haven't you worked out by now that, for every size and shape of woman, there's a bunch of us horny males out there that find that size or shape just perfect for them?" "It's okay, Kevin. I do believe you... now. I'm sorry that I didn't believe you before." She looked round the group. "I said that I'd try to explain why I nearly didn't come back again today. I lay in bed last night replaying yesterday in my mind and trying to work out what I really thought about it. The first thing I realised was that I was finding it incredibly difficult to be honest with myself. When you suggested that card game, I was ready to get up and leave. It was exactly what my father, in particular, would have expected me to do. At first, I only stayed because Gina had asked me to but, as the game went on, I discovered that I was as eager to see Kevin's and Steve's bodies, as they were to see Gina's. Kevin made a sound as though he was about to protest but Ashley cut him off. "Yes, I know, Kevin. You wanted to see mine but this was yesterday, remember. I guess that you noticed that I was also getting turned on but a part of me was disgusted, mainly with myself for being disgusted, but I hadn't worked it all out then. Once I realised that what was troubling me was fear, I looked at what it was that was frightening me. Partly, I was afraid that I would never be able to measure up to your expectations after seeing Gina, and partly it was that old threat of Hellfire. Well, I was finally able to put the religious fear to one side, which is why it was so important for me to find out what Kevin really thought about me. And I could only do that by coming here again." "Well, we're all glad you did," said Steve. "Especially Kevin." "Thanks guys, but there is another thing. I spent a lot of time thinking about that game and the fact that everyone honoured the rules." "I was going to ask you about that," said Steve. "If you'd lost another round, would you have taken something off?" "Honestly? Yesterday... Probably not." Gina spotted the qualification. "What about today?" she asked. "Well, I guess that if you made it a condition of my continuing to come here, I'd have to think about it." Kevin held up his hand for attention. "I think that maybe we should bring in another rule," he said. "I suggest that, in spite of us all agreeing to accept a majority decision, we also agree that we will never expect any one of us to do something that they really don't want to do. Who agrees?" He, Gina and Steve raised their hands immediately. Ashley slowly raised hers too and gave Kevin a warm smile. "Thank you, Kevin. That makes what I want to say next a bit easier. As I was saying, I kept thinking about how much guts it had taken for you all to go through with that game, and how I would probably have wimped out if I had been expected to carry on. It made me feel as though I had no real right to be here." "Nonsense, Ashley," Kevin said, "I thought we'd settled that. Everyone knows that you won fair and square." "Maybe, but nevertheless ...look, I don't know if I can go through with this... She stood up and faced Kevin. "...but I'm going to try. Kevin, look at this as being my apology for doubting you." Her hands went to the top button of her blouse and undid it. "Bloody hell," gasped Steve. "Shut up, you idiot," hissed Gina. Kevin's jaw dropped and he sat open-mouthed as Ashley continued undoing buttons. Beneath the blouse, she was wearing a pink lace bra that was semi-transparent and, as the front of the blouse flapped open, he thought that he could just make out the outline of her nipples through the fabric. She finished unbuttoning the front, undid the cuffs and then slipped it off her shoulders. Kevin felt his penis surge to attention and his hand went to the bulge in his jeans before he realised what he was doing. Ashley moved to undo the waist of her white pants and then undid the fly buttons. More pink lace began to show in the vee as the pants gapped open at the top. Then, she slid the pants down over her long legs and stepped out of them. This time Kevin's gasp was audible. She was wearing a thong that barely covered her crotch and her legs were as shapely as those of any supermodel he had ever seen. She turned slowly so that he could enjoy the rear view and, to his delight, her buttocks were perfect ivory hemispheres... sheer unblemished perfection. Completing the circle, she placed a finger from each hand into the waistband of the thong and slipped out of it. Kevin saw that beneath the neat navel and flat planes of her belly was a small neatly trimmed bush of pale, blonde hair that did little to hide the wonder of her. He noted the crease of her vulva with the small nubbin at its head. The outer lips formed a straight line that masked the opening to her vagina but he was too awe-struck to even think about that. Finally, and with a little hesitation, Ashley reached behind her and unclipped her bra. She cupped each breast with a hand, holding the released garment tight to her body. "This is the hardest bit," she whispered. Very slowly, she moved her hands down, drawing the bra with them. The gentle upper slope of her breasts came into view and then, at the bra's upper edge, a hint of pink. The fabric crept lower and the distinctive shape of the areolae began to appear. She hesitated again for a moment and then just let the bra drop away. She was absolutely everything that Kevin could ever have desired and more. Two perfect breasts, each the size of a small orange, each perfectly shaped with a slight upward tilt; pink areolae from the centre of which projected long, up-tilted nipples, now fully erect. He stared at her in amazement and then suddenly jack- knifed as though in pain. Ashley was all concern. "What is it, Kevin? Are you all right?" He looked up at her, his face a mixture of awe and embarrassment. "Shit, Ashley. You're so fucking gorgeous that you've made me come in my pants." The mixture of laughter and relief in the group was instant. "Jeez, Ashley," Steve laughed, "you couldn't ask for more positive proof than that that you are a fox. And you really are. I can see exactly why Kevin fancies you." Ashley was scarlet in the face but smiling. "Thank you both. At least I feel that I now have the right to sit with you on equal terms." And she sat, still totally nude, on her cushion. Kevin got to his feet. "Ashley, thank you for the 'apology'. I'm totally embarrassed right now and I'm going to the bathroom to clean up." He got up with his hands hiding the damp patch on his trousers and went into the downstairs washroom. He came back a few minutes later with a towel wrapped round his middle. "I've sponged my trousers and rinsed out my shorts. They're drying in the bathroom if that's okay." "Sure, but I'll throw them in the dryer for you. It'll be quicker." He was gone for only a few moments and they heard the sound of the dryer running in the distance. "Well, Ashley. You'll be a hard act to follow," said Gina. "Did anyone come up with a fantasy they want to tell us about?" There was a pause as she looked around the group. Steve cleared his throat. "You got something, Steve?" she asked. "Well, yes, but you may not like it." "If I don't like it, I'll tell you. What is it?" "I want to shave your pussy." There was a moment's stunned silence. "You want to what?" Gina shrieked. "I want to shave your pussy. You have the biggest bush I've ever seen and I'm curious to see what's under it. Come on, babe. It was your curiosity that started all this. What do you say?" "I don't know what to say. I've never thought about how much hair I have there. It's just me. Is that really your fantasy?" "Yes. What do you think?" "Well, I imagine it would be painless. Besides, if I hate it afterwards, I guess it will grow back. Oh, what the hell. If that's your great fantasy, I guess I can live with it. Go ahead." "Great, babe. You're the best. Hang on." Steve went back to the bathroom and reappeared a few minutes later with towels, a bowl of warm water, shaving cream, baby oil and electric and dry razors. He spread one of the towels in the middle of the circle. "Probably best if you lay down here." "Probably best if I took my skirt and panties off too, wouldn't you say?" Gina quipped. "That too." Steve grinned. Gina unzipped her skirt and stepped out of it. Her panties followed. She was just about to lie down when she suddenly stopped. "You know what? This is stupid." A look of concern swept across Steve's face. "What's the problem, babe?" "I feel more naked like this than when I wore nothing at all." She began unbuttoning her blouse, then threw it to one side and tossed her bra after it. "Your lucky day, guys," she joked. Two gorgeous, naked dames for the price of one." Kevin felt the familiar rush of blood to his groin as he gazed first at Ashley and then at Gina. He had no means of hiding his arousal and gave up trying. Gina was watching him with a big grin on her face. Without warning, she reached out and grabbed the end of the towel wrapped around his waist. She gave one almighty tug and whipped it away from him, letting it fly across the room. His short golf shirt was totally unable to hide his bulging erection. "Boy, Kevin, there's no keeping a good man down, is there?" she laughed. Ashley was smiling as well as Kevin tried to cover himself but, in the end, gave up. "Oh, fuck it," he said laughing. He peeled off his shirt and sat naked on his cushion next to Ashley. Without saying anything, Gina just looked steadily ay Steve. He held her gaze for a moment and then capitulated. "Oh, okay," he said, and stripped to the skin. "Happy?" "Very," said Gina, gently touching his penis, which obliged her by coming to attention. "That's more like it. A girl likes to know that she's appreciated. "Oh you are!!" Steve enthused. He pointed to an ornate mirror leaning against a wall beside one of the sofas. "Just look at you!" Gina walked over to the mirror and studied her reflection for a moment, then shrugged and came back to the others. "It's just me, but I'm glad you like it. So, If we're going to do this," she said, "let's get on with it." She lay down on the towels and Steve knelt beside her. "Okay, hon. Here we go." He plugged in the electric razor and snapped on a beard trimming guard. Kneeling beside her navel, he began to run the blade through the mass of springy black hair, starting at the top. Gina felt the vibration against her pubic bone and thought the sensation very pleasant. Black curls began to pile up on her stomach and on the towel as the razor continued to move back and forth across her pubis, leaving short stubble behind. As the blade moved lower, Gina was aware of a new sensation filling her and saw that her nipples were now beginning to stand up. She wriggled her bum a little. "Stay still, babe. Almost done," Steve warned. "Pity. I was beginning to enjoy this," she smiled. As Steve finished with the electric razor, the clear outline of Gina's vulva was now visible under the bristly residue, "Hang in, kiddo," Steve warned. "This may be a little cool." He picked up the can of shaving foam and sprayed it liberally over Gina's pubic region. She squeaked as the white cloud landed. Steve put the can down and picked up the dry razor and another towel. "Okay, Gina. Lay very still. This blade is sharp. Oh, I'm going to be touching you down there as well, just so you know," "Well, you just be careful what you shave, is all," Gina muttered. Steve began at the top of her delta again and very carefully started to shave the foam and the stubble that the electric razor had left behind, wiping the razor occasionally on the towel. As he progressed, he left behind utterly hairless skin that was slightly pinker than the surrounding flesh, from the abrasion. Lower he worked until, after several minutes, he reached the top of Gina's slit. "Very still now." He pressed his hand to one side of her outer lips and stretched the skin so that he could shave off the last remaining wisps of hair. Then he did the other side. Gina lay with her eyes closed as the thought that she was being touched by a man for the first time in her most sensitive region made her body shudder and her heart pound. "All done", Steve announced. "Here's a towel to wipe off the foam." Gina took the towel, wiped the remaining foam away and then looked down at Steve's handiwork. He was grinning broadly. "Smooth as a baby." He announced. "What do you think?" "You seem to like it." "I think you look beautiful." "Well, it's an odd thing to say but this is the very first time in years that I've had a clear look at it. It feels fine. I could probably get used to it so you'd better keep that razor sharp." "Any time babe," said Steve happily as he cleared away the razors and other items." "What about lunch?" Kevin asked. "I'll bring it down here," Ashley volunteered and ran up to the kitchen. Kevin watched longingly as her naked buns disappeared from view up the stairs. In moments she was back with rolls, cold cuts and cold drinks. No one seemed embarrassed any longer over being naked. Ashley commented on it as soon as lunch was cleared away. "I simply cannot believe how comfortable I feel with you all like this. I feel so stupid for my behaviour yesterday." "Ashley, let it drop," said Gina. "We all understand and it's okay." Ashley smiled her thanks. "So, anyone else have a fantasy they want to share?" Steve asked. Ashley looked around and then said nothing but a bright flush rose to her cheeks. Gina didn't miss it. "Okay Ashley, what is it?" "Sorry, Gina. I can't." "Oh don't start that again. Of course you can. Come on, out with it. What is this fantasy of yours?" Ashley's eyes were on Kevin as she answered. "Well, it's not so much a fantasy as it is curiosity. Gina asked both of you guys yesterday if you always came, and today, Kevin said that he'd come in his pants." "Don't remind me," said Kevin in mock horror. "Sorry, but it's just that I wondered what that was like. I mean, what happens exactly when guys come? What does it look like? What do you feel like?" "You mean an orgasm?" asked Steve. "I guess. I mean, it's supposed to be this big deal and I have no real idea beyond Grade 9 biology of what's involved." Gina's voice was filled with disbelief. "Ashley Gunnarsen, when you come out of your shell, you really come out, don't you! Are you asking Kevin to show you? " "I don't know. I suppose so. Is that awful? I mean is it worse than Steve's shaving you... down there? And, anyway, I thought guys were supposed to enjoy it." "We do, Ashley," said Steve "but it is usually a private thing. You know; a guy, a sock and a dirty magazine. But, hey, if Kevin's willing..." Kevin was utterly stunned by what Ashley had been saying. He adored her and had told himself that he would do anything for her. Indeed, it was her mental image that he had used often enough to do exactly what she was asking him to do now but... in front of her and the others? He looked at her and at the perfection of her body and nature made up his mind for him. He felt his penis stiffening again and saw the smile of surprise cross her face. "Oh, my God, he's going to do it," whispered Gina, almost to herself. Ashley was watching Kevin's penis as it filled with blood until it stood stiff as a poker. She could see the veins swelling around the shaft and could actually make out a pulsing along its length. She knelt beside him and he looked at her, shutting everything out of his mind except the perfection of her breasts, the soft, silky down at her crotch and the promise below it. Without thinking about it, he let his hand drift down to the heat at his groin and encircle his shaft. Ashley watched enthralled as he began to stroke up and down, slowly and gently at first but, as the fire built within him, faster and stronger, the strokes getting shorter as his breathing quickened. A wave of sensation moved from his chest to his stomach and from his stomach to his groin. His eyes closed, his body began bucking and he heard himself grunting as the wave surged on from his groin and down his penis. He shouted aloud as great gouts of semen spurted from the tip as though they would never stop. He continued milking himself until the last drops were spilt, and then collapsed back on his cushion exhausted. "Holy shit," Gina gasped. Ashley was silent, watching Kevin's penis slowly go flaccid again. Finally, he opened his eyes and saw her gazing at him. "Thank you, Kevin" she said. "That was... lovely," and she giggled at the inappropriateness of the word. "You're welcome, Ashley." There was a short silence but Steve was looking thoughtful. "Let's see. Kevin got his fantasy fulfilled this morning by Ashley, and he's just returned the favour. I got my wish from Gina. Looks to me, babe, like the only one who hasn't got her wish is you. What's your fantasy?" "Well, like Ashley, mine is not really a fantasy. In fact, it's like Ashley's in a way." "Okay, tell us." "When we were talking about this yesterday, Ashley and I said that we'd never had an orgasm. I've tried, but it's not easy in a close family like ours to get any real privacy. I guess that what I want is to have one. I want to know what all the big fuss is about and what I'm doing wrong." Steve looked at her tenderly. "I shouldn't think you're doing anything wrong. You just need time, privacy and a little patience." "So, could you give me an orgasm?" "This is moving into dangerous territory, babe. Are you sure?" "Steve, if I can't trust you after letting you shave my pussy..." "Yes, but so far we have more or less stopped at looking at each other. This would mean serious touching. I'd have to get a lot more personal if we do it." "I know, but I feel safe with you, and Kevin and Ashley will be here to make sure everything stays cool." "God, Gina," said Ashley, "wouldn't you rather be by yourselves?" "No, Ashley. I want you here. You can learn something too. In fact, you could let Kevin..." "I don't think so," Ashley said at once. "This is your fantasy." Kevin didn't say anything but, inwardly, was hurt by the swift rejection of any physical contact between him and Ashley. Seeing the growing intimacy between Gina and Steve had caused him to hope that he and Ashley might develop a similar relationship but she still seemed almost as unapproachable as before, in spite of her unexpected willingness to let him see her naked. And even that had been because she felt that she owed him an apology. Gina's voice broke through his thoughts. "Will you stay then?" "If that's really what you want," Ashley shrugged, "we'll stay." "Look, Gina," said Steve "this is new for me too. I mean, the Internet teaches you a hell of a lot if you know where to look, and I'll do my best, but it may not happen." Gina leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll take my chances. Now let's get on with it while I still have the nerve." Steve put a cushion at the edge of the circle. "Come and lie down here then, with your head on this cushion." Gina did as she was asked, lying flat on her back with her arms by her sides, legs together. Steve gazed down at her and she smiled. He lay on his side next to her, placed a hand on her shoulder, then leant over and kissed her gently and quickly on the lips. Gina closed her eyes. Steve's hand slid slowly down from her shoulder and sought, then cupped one of Gina's magnificent breasts. They heard her intake of breath at the contact. Steve was enraptured. "I've wanted to do this from the moment I saw you" he breathed. He began to squeeze her breast, then leaned in and began to kiss the other one. His hand found her nipple and he worked it between his finger and thumb. The response was instant. The nipple grew firm under his touch. He took the other one gently between his teeth and pulled. Gina squealed with pleasure. Her hands went to the back of his head, and her fingers curled themselves into his hair as he sucked and nibbled. His one hand relinquished her breast and began to move down to her stomach, gliding over the curves. His finger circled her navel and she wriggled her bum at the sensation. Then the hand flattened again on her stomach and slid down to the area that he had so recently shaved. His finger found the little gathering of flesh at the top of her slit and began rubbing in a tight circle over the area. Gina grunted as her clitoris began to swell under the gentle friction. As blood rushed to the area, her outer lips also filled and began to open, revealing the ribbon of flesh leading to her centre. Faint traces of moisture began to appear as Steve's finger explored the length of the opening crevice. Gina now had her bottom lip between her teeth and her breathing was becoming shallow. As Steve's finger began to slide backwards and forward, her body started rising and falling to the rhythm. In moments, her vulva was engorged and the opening to her vagina glistened. Steve allowed his finger to rub lightly around the outer edge and Gina squealed again. Steve pulled his head from her grasp and planted a series of kisses down her body and across her stomach until he reached her pubis. His tongue flicked over her clitoris and Gina began to pant. He ran his tongue down to her vagina and probed the entrance and the thin veil guarding it. The bucking of her body became more violent. He ran his tongue back up to her clit and then took it between his teeth, worrying it back and forth. Gina's back arched as heat rushed through her body and a wall of sensation crashed down on her. Steve took his head away and placed his finger on the throbbing distended nubbin, working it gently. Very soon, another orgasm swept through Gina, then another as he continued working her with his finger until she clamped a hand on his and begged him to stop, tears running down her cheeks. Ashley was looking worried. "Are you okay, Gina?" she asked. Gina fought to control her breathing. "Okay? I'm in fucking heaven! God, Ash. I had no idea. She grabbed Steve and pulled his head to her, kissing him long and hard on the lips. "Steve, you're totally the best. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Steve was grinning from ear to ear. "Glad it worked for you." "Oh, it did. Ash, you've got to..." Ashley cut her off. "I don't think I'm quite ready for that yet. In fact, I should be going." She stood up and began dressing. Kevin followed suit. Gina exchanged glances with Steve and then got to her feet. "I guess that we should all go," she said quietly. "Are we all on for tomorrow?" The question was addressed directly at Ashley who hesitated for a moment. "I guess. Okay, the usual time." "My turn to bring food," said Kevin. As they stood in the hallway, waiting to leave, Gina again gave Steve a warm embrace and kiss. "Thank you, Steve." "Anytime, Gina." Ashley was very quiet as she and Gina walked away and Kevin had serious doubts if she would show up next day. His walk home was lonely and miserable. THURSDAY To Kevin's surprise and delight, Ashley arrived promptly and soon all four were sitting in their accustomed places in the basement. Gina clearly had something on her mind. "Guys, I want to talk about yesterday if no one minds." "Go ahead, Gina," said Kevin. "What about it?" "Well, a lot happened and I think that it has changed things between us." "In what way?" Kevin asked. "I think Ashley is feeling very uncomfortable. Am I right, Ash?" Ashley studied Gina for a moment. "Yes... and no. I meant what I said. I like you all and I trust you completely, or else I couldn't have got through yesterday morning. But I'm wondering where all this is leading. I mean, we all watched as Steve shaved you and gave you your first orgasm. I practically blackmailed Kevin into jacking off for me. What's next? Public sex? I'm sorry, Gina. That's not for me. I'm too private a person for that. I'm sorry if that upsets the group but we all agreed to total honesty, and that's simply how I feel." Gina thought for a moment. "Actually, Ash. I agree with you." "You do?" "Yes, I do. Look, when we came here on Monday morning, none of us had any thought that this would happen. It just sort of developed, mainly because of me." "Well," said Ashley thoughtfully, "nobody actually forced us to join in." "True, but I got things started. And I never expected to find a guy like Steve either. But I have - and you're right, Ashley. I think that he and I need a little time together on our own to get to know each other better." Ashley was visibly relieved. "I hope that we can still get together, maybe once or twice a week," she said "I mean, I really enjoy coming here and I'd hate to see us stop being really close friends." "I don't think there's any danger of that after this week," Steve smiled. "Do you want Kevin and I to leave, then?" Ashley asked, "Not just yet, Ash. I want to fulfill one last fantasy while we're together." "What's that, babe?" Steve asked. "Wait and see," Gina grinned. She turned to Kevin and Ashley. "Now then, I don't know what you two think but it's my opinion that we all owe Steve a humongous vote of thanks for bringing us all together and allowing us to use this place, quite apart from all the information he dug up for us off the Internet." "Absolutely," said Kevin at once. "Yes, I agree," said Ashley. "I told you. It was no big deal," said Steve. "Maybe not," said Gina "but I want to find a way of saying thank you for all of that and for yesterday afternoon, so butt out for a moment, lover." She turned back to Kevin. "Kevin, you're a guy and hear all the jock talk. Is there any particular favour that guys like from their girlfriends?" "Hey, I'm not a jock," said Kevin. "Why ask me?" "Because I figure that you'd know anyway. What is it the guys boast about amongst themselves? Honesty, remember." "Okay, Most guys brag about getting blow-jobs from the girls who hang round the teams. Much of the time it's likely wishful thinking but it certainly features regularly in the locker room." "Yes, I thought that's what you might say." She turned to Steve. "Is that what you dream about, too, Steve?" "Don't even go there, Gina," Steve warned. "Why not? For one thing, none of us has any secrets from each other anymore. For another, as I keep reminding everyone, we agreed to answer all questions honestly. I don't remember us dropping that rule. Not only that, but we also agreed not to ask anyone to do anything they didn't want to do and no one is twisting my arm. Kevin has just said that "most guys" want blow-jobs from their girlfriends. If that's true, then, sooner or later, I'm going to want to learn how to do it to keep my guy happy. It just so happens that it could be sooner. Now, it's a simple question. Do you fantasize about being blown by a girl, yes or no?" "Christ, Gina, of course I do but I don't want you to feel that you have to do this, or anything else, for me." "I don't. So, if I do it, it will be because I want to, not because I have to. The thing is, I've never done it before and only have a general idea of what to do. You would have to guide me and tell me what felt good." Ashley was scarlet. "Gina, you can't. Not with us here." "Why not, Ash? Did you send us away when you asked Kevin to jerk off for you? I'm not asking you to join in. I'm offering this as a gift to Steve from all of us and I think we should all be here when he receives it; that is, if he is willing to accept it. Anyway, Ashley, maybe... just maybe ...even you will want to know something about how to do it one day." Kevin had never heard such a hard edge to Gina's voice and he saw Ashley swallow hard. "Okay, Gina. You win, but after this, Kevin and I are leaving the two of you alone together. Okay?" "Of course. I thought that we'd agreed that. So, Steve, are you going to accept our gift or not?" "You make it very hard, Gina." "That's the general idea, isn't it?" she grinned. "You know what I mean. Are you absolutely sure about this?" "No, but it's not going to stop me if it will give you pleasure." "You know it would but..." "No 'buts', Steve. Like you said yesterday, no promises it will work but I'll do my best. Now park your buns on the sofa." Reluctantly Steve moved over to one of the sofas and sat down. "Spread 'em," Gina commanded, grabbing one of his knees in each hand. Steve obeyed and Gina knelt between his spread legs. She reached out und unbuckled his belt, unhooked the waist of his jeans and slowly unzipped his fly. Ashley had not intended to watch but found herself staring as Steve immediately began to harden in anticipation of what was to come. "Lift your buns," Gina ordered. Steve pushed himself off the seat and Gina grabbed his jeans and underwear, pulling them down to below his knees in one swift movement. Steve's penis sprang upright, and he sank back onto the sofa cushion. Gina pulled the jeans, underpants and Steve's socks clear of his feet and placed them on the sofa beside him. Tenderly, she took his shaft in her hand and gave its length a few tentative strokes until it was rock hard. Easing back his foreskin, she leant forward and placed a gentle kiss on the tip and then ran her tongue right down the underside to his testicles and back again. Steve sighed with pleasure. Encouraged, Gina let her tongue flick back and forwards over the tip. "That feels so good, babe," Steve sighed. She continued tonguing him for a few moments more and then, taking a deep breath, opened her mouth and drew in the first couple of inches of his erection. Kevin and Ashley saw her cheeks hollow as she began to suck. Slowly at first, her head began to move backwards and forwards, taking him in and withdrawing. As she did so, she accepted more and more of him until almost the entire length of his shaft was being swallowed. Steve could feel the tension building and knew that he would not be able to last long. "You'd better back off and finish it with your hand or I'll come in your mouth," he warned. But Gina just kept rocking back and forth, faster and faster, the friction of her lips driving him wild. As hard as he tried to hold back, he wasn't able. "Oh, God, Gina, I'm coming," he yelled. Gina felt hot semen burst into her mouth and down her throat. She nearly choked but managed to grab a breath and swallow. She continued to suck on him until the final spurt was released and Steve sank back on the sofa, his heart pounding in his chest. Gina sat back on her haunches, a happy smile on her face. "How was it, hon?" she asked. Steve fought to breathe normally. "Fucking fantastic. How the hell did you manage to do that?" "You'll laugh," Gina warned, "but Papa loves opera and he made us all take singing lessons in the hope that one of us might become a diva. Not one of us could hold a note in a bucket but my teacher did teach me how to open my throat to sing. I never found a use for it... until today." "God," said Steve "I'll never look at opera singers the same way again. You were fabulous, babe. I loved my gift. Thank you everyone." He reached down, pulled Gina to him and kissed her long and hard. Ashley caught Kevin's eye and jerked her head in the direction of the door. Kevin nodded in agreement and they moved towards the stairs. "See you guys next week," Kevin called but Gina and Steve were too engrossed in each other to hear, so Kevin and Ashley let themselves out, closing the door quietly behind them. GINA AND STEVE Gina felt Steve's tongue exploring her mouth as their embrace became more passionate. But Steve hadn't quite recovered his breath and had to break away to take in some air. "I guess they left," he said." Gina looked over her shoulder. "I guess," she agreed. "You keep surprising me, babe," Steve smiled. "I keep surprising myself. What a week, eh?" "You got that right." He looked down at the brown eyes gazing up at him. "You know, I've always fancied you. I just never thought it would happen." "Be careful what you wish for, because you will get it. Mum's always saying that." "So what do you wish for?" "Just what I have right now." They kissed again. Steve stood up. "I can't sit around half-naked like this. I feel hot and sticky. I'm going to take a shower. Do you want to come up and join me?" "Sure." Steve led the way upstairs, past his room and into the master bedroom normally occupied by his parents. A large four-poster bed dominated the tastefully furnished room. Steve walked across the room and into the adjacent ensuite, pulling his T-shirt off as he went. Now naked, he opened the glass door to the shower and started running the water, adjusting the temperature. Gina hesitated for a moment and then undressed, placing her clothes at one end of the vanity. Covering her breasts and crotch with her hands, she stood beside him as he made the final adjustments and switched the water-flow from the bath to the shower. Steve saw that Gina was covering herself. "You gone shy suddenly?" he grinned. "I can't explain it, but I suddenly feel shyer now that it's only you than when we were all here. Oh, this is stupid," She took her hands away, letting Steve look his fill. He started to harden again immediately. She pointed at his swelling cock and laughed. "You're an animal!" "Can't help it, babe. You're gorgeous." "Get in the shower and you'd better make it cold." Steve grinned and stepped into the stream. He held out a hand and Gina stepped into the shower to join him, pulling the door closed behind her. She put her arms round his neck and he pulled her tight against him as they kissed again. He felt her breasts flatten against his chest and slid his hands down over the curve of her buttocks, pulling her hard against his swollen member. As the kiss deepened, he began to slide his cock up and down her outer lips. He felt her nipples stiffen and rubbed a little harder. He could feel her labia beginning to open and he let the very tip of his penis begin probing for her entrance. Gina brought her hands up to his chest and pushed him away. "No, Steve." "What's wrong, Gina?" "Nothing's wrong. I love being with you but I don't think I'm quite ready to go all the way." "Okay, hon, whatever you say. Come on, turn round and I'll wash your back" She stood on tiptoe and gave him a peck on the lips. "Thanks for being patient." "No problem. It's not just sex, you know. You're important to me." She gave him a radiant smile and turned her back. Steve took the soap, worked up a lather and then rubbed the foam over her back. She wriggled under the touch of his hands as they worked down until they were over her bum, where they hovered longer than was strictly necessary before continuing down her legs, then all the way back up again. He soaped his hands again and then slipped his hands under her arms and cupped her breasts from behind. "God, I love your boobs," he exclaimed as he began to massage and knead them. Gina's eyes closed and she could feel her nipples harden again. Steve continued fondling her and even her areolae swelled to form small mountains on mountains. One hand moved down to her stomach and began to lather the area around her navel. It continued down of her shaven triangle and she felt a finger start to coax her clitoris from its hiding place. Her bum pushed back into Steve's groin and she grunted as he began flicking her clit and tracing her slit. She could feel herself getting damp and his hard penis probing her buttocks, sliding up and down the crack. Once again, she pulled away from him. "Sorry, babe. Did I do something wrong?" Gina said nothing as she turned to face him. She redirected the showerhead to rinse the soap from her body, then stepped out of the shower, grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself. She took a second towel, wrapped her hair in it, turban-fashion, and walked into the bedroom. Steve was puzzled and alarmed. He stepped out of the shower and took a terry-cloth robe from the peg on the back of the door. Slipping it on as he went, he followed Gina into the bedroom. She was sitting on the edge of the four-poster staring at the floor. Steve went to sit beside her and placed an arm around her shoulder. "Gina, what is it? I'm sorry if I went too far. I thought you were enjoying it." "I was, you idiot. That's the problem." She turned to face him. "Tell me something, Steve. When you said that you'd always fancied me, was that the truth or were you just happy to be able to get me out of my clothes? I'm sorry if that sounds brutal, but I need to know." "Gina, all I can say is that I told Kevin before you got here that I'd often noticed you and thought you were a fox. Why are you asking about that now?" Gina looked at him for a long moment, trying to read the truth behind his eyes. "You really want to fuck me, don't you?" Steve swallowed at the bluntness of her question. "Gina, I would never want to do anything that would hurt you and I'd never force you to do something you didn't want to do." "I think I know that but you didn't answer the question. You really want to fuck me, yes or no?" "Yes, but it's also called making love." "No, Steve. It's called fucking. Making love is something you do when you are old enough to know what love means. What we've all been doing is sex." "Okay, you're right. I really want to fuck you but I can wait." Steve saw tears forming in Gina's eyes. "The trouble is... I can't," she said quietly. Steve's jaw dropped. "Shit, Steve. Can't you tell? Every time you touch me, I get hot. I've never felt like this before. I'm fifteen and still a virgin. Most of the girls at school lost it in grade 7. I've been hanging on to mine. I've always said that it was because my parents made sure that I never had a chance to lose it, but the truth is it was because I'd never met a guy I fancied doing it with. You can always find a way if you want to. With you, though, it's different. You seem to like me for something besides just my boobs. I feel safe with you. So, if you want to do it, we can. Just don't get me pregnant is all." Steve reached out and wiped the tears from her cheeks, then leaned in and kissed her very softly. "Just one question, hon. Are you absolutely sure about this?" "You keep asking me that. No, I'm not, but I can't see how waiting one more week or a month is going to change things. Right now, I feel as horny as hell and I want to know what it feels like to have you inside me." Steve stood up. "Wow! Okay, I guess. Holy shit. Well, this is the most comfortable bed in the house, so we can stay in here, but, Gina, you do know it may hurt the first time." "Of course, but there has to be a first time and I'd much rather it was with you than anybody else. What are the chances that you have a condom?" "Are you kidding? None, but I'll bet dad has some in the bathroom." He headed for the ensuite. "While you're there, bring one of those bath sheets. I may bleed a little and we don't want to ruin your folk's bed." She stood up and pulled off the top bedclothes, leaving just the pillows and bottom sheet over the mattress. As Steve busied himself in the bathroom, she rubbed her hair dry with the towel and tossed it into the laundry hamper that stood by one of the closets. Steve reappeared carrying a large, soft bath-sheet and brandishing a small foil pouch. "Bingo," he laughed. He spread the bath sheet on the bed and took off his robe, tossing it onto the floor beside the bed. He opened his arms and Gina came to him. He reached out to unwrap the towels she had wound round her, and she saw that his hand was shaking. She also saw that he was fully erect again. "Is that what they mean by 'a man in good standing'?" she quipped to cover her own nervousness. Steve pulled her to him and kissed her briefly. "Stop talking and lie down," he said softly. Gina knelt up on the bed and then stretched out on her back, head resting on the pillows. Steve stood for a moment just taking in her curves and hollows, her secret places that he was about to explore without any restriction. He knelt on the bed beside her and began to tear at the foil package with trembling fingers. "Here," said Gina. "Give me that or we'll never get this show on the road." He gave her the packet and she tore a small area with her teeth, ripped the package open and examined the condom with curiosity. "Want me to put it on for you?" she asked. Steve nodded and Gina sat up, took the thin latex in both hands. She leaned forward and kissed the tip of his penis before stretching the condom over it. "You behave now, you hear?" she said patting his erection. Slowly and sensually, she unrolled the condom, caressing his shaft as she did so. Once it covered him, she lay back and waited. Steve lay beside her and she rolled to face him. Now that there was no rush, he moved his head slowly closer to hers until their lips met. Each placed an arm over the other's shoulder and enjoyed the sensual warmth of the prolonged kiss. Tongue engaged tongue and darted around lips and teeth. Hands started to explore buttocks and backs, sliding, rubbing and probing. As Steve's hand returned to the crack between her butt cheeks, Gina wriggled closer. He slid down the bed a little, allowing him to reach further, and began to suckle on her nipple. Her head arched back as his finger found the ring of her anus and began to circle it. Her nipples were now throbbing. She let out a gasp as Steve introduced a finger into her back passage and let it explore a little. Her crotch was now crushed against his penis, forcing it down between his legs in a manner that was positively painful so he drew back from her a little and rolled her onto her back. He placed one knee between hers and she spread her legs so that he could lie on top of her. He returned his lips to her breasts and heard her sigh as he nuzzled and nibbled. Sliding down the bed, he continued planting kisses on the flesh below her breast, then flicked his tongue in and around her navel before moving down to her clitoris which now stood, bloated with blood, to mark the way to her core. He nibbled a little and Gina squealed. His tongue traced her outer lips, which opened to reveal the small rosebud of her vagina. He saw a milky film coating her inner lips and tasted her hot juices. His tongue probed and flickered and a shudder ran through her body. She began to pant. Steve knelt between her legs and placed his hands on the bed, just above her shoulders. Taking his weight on them, he straightened his body and started to lower himself onto her. As the tip of his penis met the rim of her vagina, he paused. "Hang in, babe. This may hurt." "Just do it," she hissed. He began to bear down against the resistance of her hymen. Her stomach muscles contracted as the flimsy tissue failed to yield immediately. Steve took a deep breath and then bore down with his full weight, sliding deep inside her. Gina screamed and bit her lip, and Steve lay still, his penis tight up against her cervix. "You okay?" he asked. "Just give me a moment." Steve waited. Gina took a few deep breaths and then kissed him. "I'm fine... now." "You're something else, Gina." He took his weight again and slowly withdrew until he was almost out of her and then slid slowly back in again. Gina grunted. "Oh, yes," she sighed. Encouraged, Steve set up a slow but steady rhythm of thrusting and pulling back. In moments, Gina's body took up the pattern and she began moving with him. As the pace increased, her breasts began rippling with the motion and the sight set Steve aflame. He began to move up and down even faster and Gina matched him thrust for thrust. He heard her breathing becoming ragged as the first warning of an orgasm heated his groin. "God, Gina, I'm coming." "Don't stop. Please don't stop," she shouted. He continued pumping and his body thrashed as the wave took him. He had never experienced a feeling like it and kept moving long after the wave had subsided. Gina was still bucking in the grip of seemingly unstoppable ecstasy. She was crying and laughing at the same time. "Oh, Steve, Steve baby. Oh sweet Jesus. Oh, god," She flung her arms around his neck and pulled him down on top of her with his softening penis still deep inside her. She covered his mouth in kisses and placed her hands on his buttocks to pull him tighter into her. "Oh, god, Steve. That was..." Words failed her. "I know. I know, babe. Me too." They lay quiet for several minutes just savouring the experience. Finally, Gina lifted her head off the pillow and looked at him. "I have an important question for you, Steve," she said seriously. Steve looked at her a little anxiously. "What's is it?" he asked. Suddenly Gina grinned broadly. "Do we have any more condoms, lover? ASHLEY AND KEVIN On leaving Steve's basement, Ashley and Kevin discovered that the rain had finally stopped and, although still overcast and dull, it was very mild and muggy. Kevin was reluctant to part company with Ashley so early, especially as he had no idea if or when he would see her again. "Would you like to stop for a coke?" he asked, hoping to prolong their time together. "No, but I could go for a latté if that's okay with you." "Of course," said Kevin. "There's a coffee shop a couple of blocks away." They walked the two blocks in silence. The coffee shop was fairly busy but the outdoor patio was deserted. "Why don't we sit out here?" Ashley suggested. "It's not cold." "Good idea. I'll go and get the coffees. You grab a table." Kevin went in to order and while he was waiting for the coffees to be made up, looked back out of the window. Ashley was looking off into the distance and he was struck once again by her beauty and the ethereal quality that clung to her like a second skin. She caught him staring at her and turned away again. He collected the coffees, paid for them and took them outside to join her. She thanked him and then sat back, sipping on the mug and licking the cream off her lips. Kevin sat back too, simply enjoying the sight of her tongue darting in and out of her mouth. There was a moment of silence before Ashley looked directly at him. "You do that a lot," she said. "What?" he asked. "Sit and stare at me." "I'm sorry," he stammered. "I don't mean to be rude." "I know. But tell me, what is it you see when you do that?" "Well... you I guess." "No, Kevin, Basement Club Rules. Honesty. What do you see?" "Ashley, you know what I see. I see the most beautiful girl I've ever met. I'm sorry if that annoys you but I can't help it. You have the most beautiful face, a spectacular figure, you're... you're just perfect." "Fuck you!" said Ashley vehemently. Kevin recoiled and the blood drained from his face. He had never heard Ashley use language like that before. She saw the shock in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Kevin, I truly don't want to hurt you but, for your own good, especially if we are going to continue to be friends, I need to get through to you. You can't talk about me like this and you've got to stop thinking of me that way. It's ridiculous. I just can't live up to those expectations. No girl could. And while we're on the subject, you keep talking about my body... 'Beautiful face, spectacular figure'. I'm more than just a body, Kevin. I'm a person. I have a brain and I have feelings." Kevin started to protest, but Ashley held up her hand. "No, don't interrupt. Before Monday, you hardly knew me. I'm truly flattered by what you think of me but that girl doesn't exist. That girl would never have stripped in front of three near strangers. She would certainly never have been excited by watching you masturbate and watching her friend giving her first blow-job." Kevin saw Ashley shudder at the thought. "Look, Kevin, you have to know by now that I like you as a person. You are kind, thoughtful, caring and, if you want to know the truth, quite sexy. But stop putting me on a pedestal and start treating me like a real person too, not some fragile piece of frigging porcelain, or this friendship ends here and now." Kevin was silent. "Are you okay?" Ashley asked. "Yes," he said quietly. "I was just thinking about how stupid I've been." Ashley grinned. "Not stupid. Just unrealistic." "You're right, of course, although, in fairness, I've always known that you are smart as well as beautiful." He saw her roll her eyes. "Sorry, sorry! But if we are being honest here, you are a very intimidating person and hard to get close to. You're right. I do tend to describe you by what I see... your face and your body but, as you pointed out, until Monday, that was really all I had to go on. Even now, I still don't know much more about you, but I'd really like to. "You said something about 'if this friendship is to continue'. I want it to, very much, but I can't pretend to stop seeing what I see when I look at you or promise that I will never again tell you you're beautiful. I will promise, though, that if you give me the chance, I will get to know you better and perhaps enjoy other things about you. Maybe I'll even dislike some things. We've got the rest of the summer ahead and I'd really enjoy sharing some of it with you." Ashley saw the anxiety in his face and thought about what he had just said. "You know, Kevin. Maybe I was a little unfair to you just now. Of all the words you could have used to describe me, intimidating is one I would never have imagined. Do I really intimidate people? No, don't answer that. I guess I do because now that I think about it, Gina has told me the same thing but I thought she was just being Gina. "Of course I'd like us to be friends. I don't have that many and none are guys. I just don't want to have to live up to some impossible standard of perfection. I'd never be able to relax and just be me. I'm not that different from Gina in many ways, just shyer and a little more cautious. So, yes, maybe we can spend some time together. In fact, I think I'd enjoy that." Kevin's face lit up. "Great, and if I start to tell you that you're beautiful, slap me." "Oh, you can tell me once in a while," Ashley grinned. "Just not all the time." "Deal," said Kevin. "Look, do you like hiking?" "Yes. Why?" "It looks as though it could be a better day tomorrow. Do you fancy doing the Grouse Grind? I'll pack a lunch for us and we could spend the day up there." "That's quite a climb," Ashley said "but I'm game if you are. Okay. Let's do it." "Great. I'll call for you about ten and we can go over on the Seabus." "Okay. I'll be ready." "Good. Have you finished your coffee?" Ashley picked up her cup and drained the contents. "I have now," she said. "Good. I'll walk you home." They stood up and Kevin offered his hand. Ashley hesitated for only a moment and then took it; Kevin's first physical contact. Hand in hand, they strolled off down the street. The next day dawned bright and sunny. Kevin got up early and showered. He selected shorts, short-sleeved shirt, long socks and pulled his hiking boots out of the back of the closet, Once he was dressed, he sprayed on some of his father's "Eternity for Men" and brushed his teeth. He looked out a backpack and put in a couple of sweaters, one for himself and one for Ashley in case the weather changed suddenly, as it was prone to do. He added water bottles, sandwiches and sunscreen. From the medicine cabinet, he took some insect repellent in case the mosquitoes were out in force and, as an afterthought, a bottle of baby oil for massaging sore feet. He arrived at Ashley's building just as someone was leaving and was able to go straight up to the top floor, where her apartment was located. He rang the bell. Ashley opened the door. She was wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and certainly didn't look ready for a long, gruelling hike. "Come in," she said, closing the door behind him. "I've been working in the kitchen. Come on through." Mystified, he followed her and found himself in a small, well-appointed kitchen with a view out over the Creek. "I was going to phone you earlier but Mother was in a rush to get to work and I just didn't get around to it." "Is something wrong?" Kevin asked. "Not really. It's just that I slept awkwardly last night and my shoulder and neck are really quite sore. I just don't feel like going for the Grind today. I'm sorry. Do you mind?" She saw his face drop. "No, of course not. Do you want me to leave, then?" Ashley laughed. "No, you idiot. I just don't want to climb a mountain. If you don't mind hanging out here, we could go to my room, maybe listen to some music and just talk. You said you wanted to know more about me." Kevin brightened at once. "For sure. That'd be great." "Come on then." Ashley led him not to the smaller of the two bedrooms but to the master. The room was austere but feminine. A double bed, side tables, dresser and lamps were just about the only furniture apart from a bookcase and desk set up beside the window which, again, gave a view of the Creek below. A small entertainment unit sat on one of the side tables. Kevin noted that the room was extremely tidy. "This is nice," he said, looking round appreciatively. "Makes my room look like a tip." Ashley grinned. "It's not always like this, I promise you. I did a quick tidy up before you got here. No, I'm very lucky. Mum says that as she is so rarely home, and all she does is sleep, I might just as well have the bigger room so that I can have my desk here for schoolwork." "Well, it's great." "Thanks. Why don't you take the chair from the desk and I'll sit on the bed." She went over to the stereo and put in a CD. Kevin pulled up the chair and sat facing Ashley. Conversation was a little difficult at first but after about ten minutes, Kevin began to relax. Their chat turned to music and the groups for whom they shared a liking and the ones they didn't, their favourite actors and movies and numerous other topics that soon had them both very animated and involved. He found that Ashley was far easier to talk with than he had imagined. She seemed genuinely interested in hearing about the stars that he had met and what he was planning for the future. He learned about the sudden death of her father and the problems it had caused for her and her mother. For the first time, it dawned on him that Ashley was not stand-offish. She was shy and much brighter than most of her peers. Her wish to be supportive of her mother had given her self-imposed responsibilities that had made her mature beyond her years. And as he finally began to feel comfortable with her, a real bond started to form between them. The first batch of CDs ended, and they were so absorbed in conversation that Ashley never changed them. The next couple of hours flew by. Suddenly Ashley looked at Kevin. "I'm a lousy hostess," she announced "Would you like a cold drink? There's juice in the fridge." "Sure. That would be great." Ashley had been sitting on the end of the bed facing Kevin with her arms stretched behind her, hands on the coverlet, to support herself. She moved to stand up and winced with pain. "Do you want me to get it?" Kevin asked. "No, I'll get it. It's just my shoulder and neck muscles. I shouldn't have sat in this position for so long." She went back to the kitchen, returning moments later with two glasses of orange juice and two paper napkins. Kevin stood up as she came back into the room. She set the napkins on the desk with a glass on each and they stood, side by side, sipping their drinks and looking through the window at the activity down below on the Creek,. Ashley was rubbing her neck with her other hand. Kevin was looking thoughtful. "I don't know if it would help," he said, "but I've picked up some basic massage techniques from hanging round dressing rooms. I might be able to at least ease some of the tension in your neck. Would you like me to try?" Ashley smiled at him. "Kevin, you're full of surprises. You really think it would work?" "Well, it won't make it worse, that's for sure, and it might help." "All right, thank you. Yes. We can give it a try. How do you want to do it?" "Let's finish our juice and then I'll get you to lie flat on your tummy on the floor. Just let me get something out of my pack." He came back from the hall with the bottle of baby oil in his hand. "Ready?" Ashley drained her glass, placed the chair back behind the desk to clear the space and then lay face down on the carpet. "Okay," she said. "Go ahead." Kevin knelt beside her. "So where exactly does it hurt?" Ashley waved her left arm vaguely behind her. "My left shoulder and up into my neck." "Well, I'm going to be pressing fairly hard and I'm going to be using oil on my hands." "So you want me to take off my T-shirt, right?" Kevin said nothing. Ashley got to her knees, pulled off the shirt and flipped it onto the bed. She was wearing a black strapless cotton bra under it. She lay back on the floor. "Right," Kevin instructed "sort of fold your arms and use them as a pillow... and face to the right." Ashley did as he asked. Kevin squeezed some baby oil onto his hands and then leant over and began to work. He soon located knots of muscle in her neck and dug his thumbs in to start loosening them. Ashley squeaked in pain. He halted for a moment. "Do you want me to stop?" "No. Carry on. I think you've found one of the places." Kevin began working the muscle again and elicited a series of grunts from Ashley as his fingers probed. Bit by bit, he felt the muscle easing and moved down to her shoulders. Again his fingers found a muscle group that needed work. He spread more oil on his hands and returned to the task. His hands glided over her skin and his fingers squeezed and soothed at the same time. Ashley found herself dealing with a number of new emotions. Apart from hugs and kisses from a few close family members, this was the first intimate physical contact she had ever allowed another living soul to have with her. Even Gina knew better than to give her more than a quick hug. She had always feared intimacy but, as Kevin continued the massage, she felt a warm, comfortable sensation pervading her body. She had been very tense as she awaited Kevin's touch but she felt that tension ebbing away to be replaced by a feeling of confidence and well-being. Unnoticed by Kevin, she began smiling. "God, Kevin, You're good at this. Where did you learn to do it?" "Some of the bigger names have a masseuse or masseur who travels with them, or else they bring in a local one. These people have to sit around for long periods while the star is shooting and I often talk with them. I sort of picked it up from them." "Well, it really seems to be working so don't stop now." "I'll do your whole back if you like." "Umm, that would be nice. Yes please." "Is it all right if I unhook your bra? Actually, it would probably be better if you did it. I've got oil on my hands." Ashley reached behind her and undid the clasp, flicking the ends off her back. Kevin poured a little oil in a ribbon down her spine and set to work, his thumbs working along the central ridge. His hands flattened on her back and he worked slowly and methodically from her shoulders to the waistband of her jeans. Ashley was now savouring the warmth and comfort that his hands were bringing. Then, as his hands worked outwards round her rib-cage, stopping just short of her breasts, she began to feel a new sensation which grew as his touch fell just short of her buttocks. This time it was warmth from within and she found that, far from resenting it, she was actually enjoying his hands on her body. Kevin sat back on his heels. "That felt so good, I didn't want it to stop." "Would you like me to do your legs?" Ashley twisted her head to look at him. There was no guile there, just a desire to make her feel better. "Are you sure you don't just want to get me out of my pants?" she asked. "No, honestly, Ashley..." he protested earnestly. "I was only joking, Kevin. You know I trust you. Anyway, it's not as though you haven't seen it before. She pushed her hands underneath her and struggled with her waistband and fly. Then she reached behind her, lifted her butt and pushed her jeans down towards her knees before flattening herself against the floor again. "You're going to have to pull them off. Just throw them on the bed." Kevin did ask she said and then knelt at her feet taking in the symmetry of her body. She was wearing a black thong and he was struck again by the unblemished perfection of her. The soft white curves of her buttocks, the thin strap of the thong dividing them but not concealing much until it became a small dark triangle against her crotch. He sighed and decided to start on her calves. He spread oil on his hands and began kneading the calf muscles as he had her back, from ankle to knee. He didn't rush. He would happily have prolonged this experience for ever but he was intent on being, as his parents would have reminded him, "a true professional." He moved up to the back of Ashley's thighs and felt her legs pull closer together. He continued working gently but firmly, and she relaxed again. As he worked on her, Ashley sensed that she was coming to a crossroads. How far would she let this go? His hands were now only inches from her butt. If he chose to go there, should she allow it? Would it be sending the wrong signals to him if she did? On the other hand, there was no doubt that he had helped ease the pain in her shoulder and neck. There was also no doubt that she was beginning to get turned on by his touch. She had never felt anything like this before and decided to wait and see if he stopped or continued. No point in saying anything until it became an issue. Kevin was having a similar struggle. He had worked his way up to the top of her thighs and she seemed to be enjoying it. But what if he went further? He didn't want to jeopardise their relationship, especially now that they seemed to be developing a genuine friendship. At the same time, he was overwhelmed by her desirability and the closeness of her, the warmth of her skin under his hand and the fragrance of her body. He felt the familiar stirring in his groin and decided to take the risk. He applied more oil to his hands and starting at the back of her knees, allowed his hands to move slowly up the back of her thighs and then up over her buttocks. Ashley felt the lightness of his touch and the gentleness of his fingers and gave in to the warmth that was filling her. She said nothing and Kevin began to breathe again. He let his hands rove her curves seeking to transmit tenderness and caring through his touch. Ashley was in a dreamlike state where new sensations were welling up and threatening to overwhelm her. She should stop him but she discovered that she didn't want to. There was a sensuality to the situation that had her body responding in ways that surprised her. Almost intuitively, Kevin picked up on her mood. He ran his hands from the backs of her ankles, all the way up to her shoulders, and then back. To do so, he had to lean right over her body and Ashley felt the fabric of his jeans brush her backside as he stretched for her shoulders. She also felt something else. "Is that what I think it is?" she demanded. "'Fraid so," he said. "Sorry." "I guess I should be used to it by now. I suppose, as Steve said, it's a sort of compliment." Kevin gave a few more sweeps to her back and then stopped. Ashley lay there, unmoving. "That was wonderful, Kevin. Thank you. You have a real talent. I really enjoyed it. " Kevin paused for a moment. "There's always your front." Ashley felt a rush of adrenaline race through her body. After what felt like an age to Kevin, she cranked her head round to look at him. "Kevin, we're not talking about relaxing tense muscles now, are we?" "No," said Kevin quietly. "We're not." Ashley's mind was in turmoil. What was he hoping for? Sex? If so, forget it. He was nice and all that but she knew that all guys were nice if they thought they could get into your pants. But he had been amazingly gentle to this point and she was fairly sure that she could stop him if he tried to go too far. And he was good with his hands. She had seen how Gina had reacted to Steve's touch and had quietly envied her the experience. She felt her body tensing at even the idea. In the end, it was hormones that made up her mind. Still looking Kevin in the eye, she slowly turned over. The unclipped bra lay on the floor under her and she arched her back to pull it out, throwing it to join the other discarded clothes on the bed. She now wore just the thong. As she lay back again, Kevin gazed down on her and thought again how stunning she was and how lucky he was to not only look at her but, now, to actually touch her. He knelt at her feet again, leaned forward and took the elasticised sides of the thong between his fingers. Ashley nearly panicked as he drew the small piece of cloth down her legs. Her hand shot out to cover her crotch. Kevin pulled the thong clear of her body and threw it on the bed. Then, very gently, he took her covering hand in his. He felt her resist the pull but he was gentle and persistent, and she finally let him place her hand back by her side, but her legs were clamped tightly together. Kevin changed position to kneel by her head, facing her feet and began by massaging her fingers and arms until he could feel the tension in them easing. He switched to the area around her collar bone, working his thumbs into the "salt-cellars". Ashley's skin glistened where the traces of oil were left behind. At last, the moment arrived when Kevin ran his thumbs down through the valley between her breasts, flattened his hands below them and then drew the flattened palms up and over the small inviting mounds. Ashley felt warmth gathering again in the pit of her stomach. Kevin repeated the sweeping movement several more times and then, on the next upward sweep, his hands halted on her breasts and began a gentle squeezing motion while his thumbs teased her nipples. Ashley took a deep breath as she felt her nipples answering the touch. They grew firm and extended until they stood a good half-inch proud of the small rose- pink circles surrounding them. At the same time, the inner warmth was spreading outwards and downwards too. As if he could read her, Kevin's hands moved down again over the slope below her breast to the flat of her stomach. He stood up and moved to her feet and knelt again. He saw that her legs were, once more, firmly clamped together. Placing a hand on the inside of each ankle, he applied pressure. Reluctantly, Ashley allowed her legs to part and Kevin eased forward so that she could not close them again. He paused to look at her. Surmounting her pubic area was a plume of fine golden hair that was carefully trimmed into a neat triangle. The tightly closed line of her labia was clearly visible but he could make out the small rosette at the top which was the site of her still dormant clitoris. His heart was pounding as he bent to pour a little oil onto her stomach. He also oiled his palms and began a gentle kneading motion He felt Ashley's stomach muscles tighten as he began inching down from her navel. As he finally reached the upper fringe of her bush, a shiver ran through her. At this point, Ashley had abandoned any intention she might have had to stop him. Heat was radiating through her from her core and she was aware of every nerve ending in her body. Her nipples, her areolae, her breasts, her stomach tingled at his touch. She could feel them beginning to pulsate as Kevin's fingers began their exploration of her most private parts. Her eyes were tightly closed and her breathing shallow as he riffled through her blonde thatch. His fingers gently entwined and stroked, parted and smoothed the blonde strands, sending shivers racing up her spine. She couldn't understand how these new sensations could be frightening and so delicious at the same time. His index finger located her clitoris and rubbed around it in tiny circles. She gasped with pleasure and almost immediately, the flesh responded, filling and rising under his touch. He tweaked it between his thumb and finger and she squirmed, her stomach flip- flopping with excitement. As Kevin ran his finger down the ribbon of pink flesh, she actually yelped. He continued tracing a line up and down until her outer lips were engorged and open to receive him. She was aware that she was now soaking wet and that it was her own juices that were lubricating his finger, not the baby oil. Kevin was now alternately rubbing her clitoris and her slit. Ashley was unaware of any conscious decision but found that her body was now lifting and falling to the pace of his stroking. He maintained the rhythm and she felt her very first orgasm starting to build. Again, Kevin seemed to be able to read her body for his finger slid lower and found her vagina wet, open and waiting. He slid a finger inside her and stroked the wall. She realised that she was grunting as she fought to control her breathing. Sensing she was near, Kevin inserted two fingers as far as they would reach. Ashley screamed as the orgasm hit her full force and Kevin's fingers were drenched as she rocked up and down, legs clamped to keep his fingers in place. As the first wave began to subside, Kevin partially withdrew and then reinserted his fingers and Ashley felt another wall of sensation sweep over her, even more violent than the first. Kevin let her ease back before bringing her to the crest again. "No more, Kevin, please," she finally gasped. He withdrew his hand and sat back watching her as she slowly got herself back under control. At last her eyes opened. She saw him watching her and smiled at him. "I don't know what to say, Kevin. Somehow 'thank you' just doesn't seem to cut it." "Forget it, Ash. I'll never forget that I had the privilege of giving you your first orgasm." "Nor will I, Kevin Bainbridge. You may be sure of that." She stood up on legs that were still trembling and glanced in the mirror. "God, look at me. I'm a mess. I need to take a shower before lunch." "I've got sandwiches in my pack when you're ready" "Great, well you know where the kitchen is and where the juice is. Just keep opening cupboards and drawers until you find anything else that you need. I'll be with you in ten minutes." She marched off to the bathroom while Kevin went to the kitchen and washed his hands, but not before inhaling the heady aroma of her that still clung to his fingers. Then he laid the table so that, by the time she came back, lunch was ready to eat. She was wearing a beautifully embroidered red silk kimono with matching obi securing it at her waist. Her hair hung in a damp fan behind her. He decided that he would never get tired of looking at her. She glanced over the table arrangement and then went to the fridge. As she leant over to get a bag of salad out of the salad drawer, the kimono sagged open at the top and Kevin caught a glimpse of white flesh with a pink nipple at its tip. He looked away quickly hoping that Ashley hadn't noticed him gawping. She hadn't. They ate almost in silence. As soon as they had finished, Kevin went to clear the table but Ashley stopped him. "I'll do that later. Come back to my room. I want to talk with you." He followed her and she flopped on top of the bed covers, laying back with her head on the pillows. She patted the edge of the bed to indicate that he should sit beside her as they talked. Kevin perched himself where she had indicated. "I've been thinking a lot about what I said to you the other day and it bothers me." "Ashley, you don't have to apologise..." he began. "I wasn't going to," she grinned. "I meant every word, but there are some other important things that I should have said and didn't." "Such as?" "Such as 'thank you' for example." "For what?" "For inspiring me. I saw how determined you are to become an actor, in spite of the guys at school making fun of you and it helped me to make a decision." "What's that then?" "I'm going to make a serious attempt to get into modelling." "Good for you, Ash. I know that you can make it." Kevin uttered the words because he meant them but he felt a pang of sadness. He had no doubt that she would be snapped up by some big agency and would quickly move out of his orbit in the glamorous world of high fashion and he'd never see her again. Her next word made it even more certain. "Dad's younger sister, Aunt Osa lives in Toronto and I thought that, next break, I'd visit her and stay for a while. It's not New York but it's closer than Vancouver." Kevin tried to keep the disappointment out of his voice. "That's great, Ashley. As a matter of fact, I think mum has some contacts in the fashion industry in both New York and Toronto. I could ask her if you like and maybe get you some go-sees." Ashley heard the hurt in his voice and noted how his body had slumped at her announcement. "Would you really do that for me?" "Of course, Ashley. You know I would. I'll do anything that helps you." "I'm not sure that I deserve you, Kevin, but thank you anyway." "I'll talk to mum tonight but it'll be a while before I have the information for you." "No rush, but it would be a big step forward." He nodded and fell silent. She watched him for a moment and then leaned forward. "Can I say something without you getting all defensive?" "I don't know. Let's see, shall we?" "Okay. You want to be an actor. I don't know much about acting but I have got to know you a little as a person by now. Do you know what I mean when I say that you wear your heart on your sleeve? It's a phrase my mother sometimes uses." "I think so but maybe you'd better explain." "Well, just now, when I said that I was going to Toronto, what you said was that you were happy for me but your voice and body said the opposite." Kevin was silent. "It's just that, oh I don't know... let's say you had to play a love scene with an actress and you really didn't like her, how do you keep that from showing on your face or in your voice?" Kevin stayed quiet for a long time and Ashley began to think that she had said too much. In fact, Kevin was considering what she had said very carefully before attempting to answer. "Let me see if I can explain this but, as you put it the other day, you have to let me stumble through this in my own way. The truth is that there is something about you that makes me behave differently around you from the way I behave with anyone else. "Yesterday, you were pissed off at me for putting you on a pedestal and, when I thought about it, I saw that you were right and that I really didn't know that much about you. But, today, when we were talking about your mum and dad, I felt much more comfortable and began to like you for a whole bunch of new reasons. I like the way you can make me laugh, for example. Not many people can do that. "As for wearing my heart on my sleeve, maybe it's true. Obviously, I haven't been able to hide how I feel about you but that's because, until yesterday, I didn't think I had any reason to try. But you are the only person I have ever met that I feel this way about so, yes, I was not happy to hear that you could move away because it means that I might never see you again, and I can't... Well, never mind. "But you asked me about playing a scene with an actress I don't like. I've talked to some good actors, people whose names you would know, and they say that when you play a scene, you try to remember and bring to it feelings from some similar experience that you've already had. Which brings us to the bit you won't want to hear." He dropped his eyes and looked at the floor. "You swore at me for saying that you were perfect. You were right because I know that you're not. What I should have said, because it is true, is that you are perfect for me. What I mean is, I can't ever imagine finding any girl who is prettier, or smarter, or who makes me feel the way I feel when I'm near you. And if that pisses you off, I'm sorry but it's the truth. "So, you see, when I have to play a scene with anyone else, I will always now be able to look back on this morning and, in my mind, I'll be seeing you, so playing the scene will be a piece of cake." There was silence, and when he looked up, he saw that Ashley was crying. For her, what he had just said hit her like a thunderbolt. Unless she had misheard him, he had just told her that she would be the inspiration in his life's work from this point on and it forced her to re-examine everything she had assumed about him. Her mind raced and all the pieces rearranged themselves almost instantly. She had totally misjudges his motives and her perception of everything changed. One of the things that had bugged her was that she was quite sure that, although he obviously liked her, Kevin was really saying some of the things he had said to improve his chances of getting her into bed. But as she looked back, several new thoughts struck her. Of the four of them, at this point, Kevin was the only one who had not asked for or had not received any physical gratification at the hands of one of the other three. Gina had been brought to orgasm by Steve and had given him a blow-job in return. And that morning, she had selfishly let Kevin pleasure her without even considering any reciprocal action. In spite of his overwhelming feelings for her, he had concentrated solely on her pleasure, without complaint. He had actually stopped short of saying that he loved her but it was as clear as daylight from his last speech that, in his way, that is exactly what he felt. She suddenly felt cheap, selfish and despicable. She began to appreciate how much her attitude towards him must have hurt him and she was utterly miserable. All Kevin saw was that Ashley was in tears and he figured that it was all his fault. He stood up. "I'm sorry, Ashley. I shouldn't have said anything. Maybe I'd better go." "No, "Ashley shouted in panic. She jumped off the bed and flung her arms around his neck, burying her head in his shoulder. "Oh Kevin, I'm so sorry. I was so wrong about you. Please don't go. Please." She turned her face up to look at him and saw stunned amazement on his face. He didn't know what she was talking about. All he knew was that she was in his arms and was begging him to stay. A smile crept over his face and, when she saw it, Ashley laughed through her tears. "Of course I'll stay if that's what you want," he said. She just nodded and smiled. Not quite believing the change in her, he moved cautiously to kiss her expecting that she would stop him. Instead, she moved her lips to meet his and all the frustrations and misunderstandings melted away in a kiss that took his breath away, and hers. When they finally broke apart, Ashley saw the longing in his face. "Put your hands up in the air," she ordered. Mystified, he did as she asked. She moved close to him and pulled his golf shirt out of his shorts. "Ashley, what on earth are you doing?" he asked. "Be quiet and just do as I ask, okay?" He shrugged. She tugged his shirt up over his head and tossed it aside. "Sit... there on the bed." She knelt at his feet and pulled off his hiking socks, then straightened up and undid the belt to his shorts. By the time her hands moved to his zip, he was already beginning to harden. Ashley ignored the bulge in his pants and slid the zip to the bottom of the fly. "Butt up," she demanded. He obeyed and she pulled off his shorts and underpants. He was fully erect and she found it beautiful. She undid her sash and threw it aside, then pulled the kimono open and let it slip off her shoulders. Kevin was amazed to see that she was fully aroused herself and he reached towards her but she held up her hand. "Soon," she whispered with a catch in her throat. She sat beside him and reached out her hand. Her fingers closed gently around his throbbing penis and just held it. "You are my first, too" she whispered. Then she bent over and kissed the tip, something she had told herself she could never do. Kevin groaned and she took this as her cue. She rolled off the bed and knelt by his knees. She slid her hand down to the base of his shaft, brushing against his pubic hair. She leant in and kissed the tip again while stroking him very slowly. This time though, she kept her lips in contact with it and then opened them to let her tongue explore him. Kevin was sure that he must be dreaming but the sensations were far more acute than he'd ever experienced in any dream. Ashley opened her mouth and experimentally enclosed the first inch or so of his cock. She experienced a slight saltiness in her mouth but it was not unpleasant and so she accepted a little more of him, using her tongue on the underside. She slid backwards and forwards a couple of times and felt him rising up to meet her. She was smart enough to know that he would not be able to hold on long so she stood up facing him and pulled his face to her breasts. Kevin took almost one entire breast into his mouth and gripped her nipple between his teeth, clamping down lightly. She squealed with pleasure and he clamped his hand onto the other breast, working it and squeezing it until she knew that an orgasm could not be far away. She pulled back and pushed him flat on his back, grabbing his feet to make him face along the length of the bed. Then she jumped up onto the bed and straddled him. Slowly she lowered herself until she felt his prick against her distended clit. She rubbed herself back and forth on him, feeling her mounting wetness ease the friction. Her vagina was opening and she slid forwards to allow him to begin entering her. "No, Ashley. You don't have to," he gasped. But Ashley had made up her mind. Before he could stop her, she simply sat and impaled herself on him. He gasped and she began to ride him, slowly at first until she felt his body answering. She heard him groan and increased the pace. Her own body was firing off signals of rising intensity, As he began bucking, she was whipping her head from side to side as the tide of ecstasy rose and rose. She could feel every bit of him inside her, throbbing and sliding, feel the friction and lubrication. Then she felt her release approaching just as he yelled. "I'm coming. Ashley. Let me pull out." But she just rode him harder and as the wave swept over her, she felt him explode into her and heard him weeping. She kept going until she was quite sure that he was done and then allowed herself to collapse on top of him, burying her head in his neck, but keeping him inside her. He poured kisses onto her head. When he could finally speak he put a hand on each side of her face so that she would look at him. "Why, Ashley? What if you become pregnant? There would go your career." "It's okay, Kevin. We're safe. I'm on the pill." The look on his face caused her to burst out laughing. "It's all right you idiot. Girls take birth control pills for reasons other than not becoming pregnant. And in case you were wondering, I tore my hymen two years ago doing gymnastics." He looked so relieved that she laughed again and kissed him full on the lips. He hugged her to him and they lay like that for several minutes. Finally, Ashley felt cramp setting in so, reluctantly, she let him slip out of her and rolled on to her side next to him, pulling her knees up slightly and resting her head on his chest. Kevin looked down at the miracle of her, reliving the last half an hour in his mind. Idly, his hand caressed her hair and he watched the steady rise and fall of the small breasts that so excited him. He sighed in deep contentment. "I love you, Ashley," he whispered. "I know, Kevin," she murmured. "I know." And in two minutes she was fast asleep.
