Kelly
A (not so) short story by Night Hawk
(NH@nighthawk.sytes.net)
Archived at <http://www.asstr-mirror.org/files/Authors/MikeC/James>

Inspired by Mike C, based on characters in his novel: "James"
Characters and situations copyright by Mike C, 2002

Dear readers,

Yes, I know it has been a month since the last installment of Kelly was
released.
I apologize for that.  I was doing well right up to the Columbia Shuttle
disaster, and since then have been a bit pre-occupied by the situation in
Iraq.

As most of you have probably seen, I am not the only writer to have had a
lousy February.  Many of the better writers including my friend Mike (James
series), have all been affected by world events.

I wish I could promise you another chapter in two weeks, but the James and
Kelly series hook up again for the upcoming weekend in the story line, and
now, I will wait for Mike to move up in his story line so we can all be at
the Grand Opening of the Wheel together.

For those of you  who wrote expressing your support and encouragement, Thank
You!  Your letters meant a great deal to me.

I hope I have managed to get the flow of the story back and that you enjoy
this chapter.

Peace
NH



Chapter 15

Kelly watched Laura drive out of sight before she turned and entered her
house.  It felt a bit strange being alone for the first time after all these
weeks.  She let out a sigh and put on the kettle to make a cup of tea.  She
lit up a cigarette and leaned against the counter waiting for the kettle to
boil.  She smiled as she heard the door open.

Gloria gave her a smile as she grabbed her mug out of the cupboard and
started to make herself a cup of coffee.

"You look happy," G said.

"Oh G, you don't know how happy I am."

"Good."

Neither woman said much more as they sat to drink.  Kelly didn't question
how after over a weeks absence, Gloria wouldn't ask where she had been or
how she would know that today she really needed her help.  Years of
experience had taught her that Gloria just somehow knew, and the older woman
would never pry or ask where Kelly had been.

"I'm glad you're here G.  I've got to get the guest room ready for a couple
of young models who will be staying with me for about a month."

"You no fret 'bout it girl, we get it done soon enough."

Kelly lit up another and relaxed.  Gloria had a calming effect on her.

Gloria looked at the cigarette Kelly had lit up.  "Chil' don't you think
maybe it be time to give dat up?"

Kelly looked at Gloria in surprise.  She had never suggested to Kelly that
she should stop smoking.

"After all these years you're going to tell me that my smoking bothers you?"

"No baby, it no bother me.  Me thinks maybe you should slow down a bit now."

Kelly wanted to pursue the subject further, but G wasn't going to talk about
it anymore, and changed the subject.

Kelly shrugged.  It was something else she had learned about Gloria over the
years.  When she was ready to say something she would and nothing could make
her talk about it before.  She spent the next half hour telling Gloria about
the weekend, the trip to Chuck's and then to Brookhaven, Laura with the
dolphins and the horseback riding.

Gloria nodded as Kelly told her story.  She could see that Kelly was the
happiest she had ever seen her.  The "Obi-man" had been right.  All that had
been missing from Kelly's life had been something to tie her to Mr. Todd.
If that something was Laura, well, that was okay too.  Gloria wasn't going
to judge.  She remembered when she had first met Kelly at the Guesthouse in
1995.  She had grown a lot smarter in the years that followed, but that
black cloud had never really left her soul and in the last month Gloria had
seen it finally start to evaporate.

Todd opened the door to look right into the chest of one of the biggest men
he had ever seen.  Todd worked out very regularly with free weights as well
as his other exercises, but this man, he was built like an oak tree.

"Mr. Ayres?" the tree asked.

Todd looked up to find the face from which the voice had come.  "Yes?" he
finally got out.

"We've got a delivery of gym equipment for you."

"Yes, I was expecting you.  I have a shipping dock at the back of the studio
if that will make things easier."

"It sure will.  This stuff is big and heavy.  We're to set it up for you.  I
hope you've got room for it."

"I cleared it all out last week," said Todd.  "There should be plenty of
room.  I'll go and open up the bay door."

As the tree walked away Todd noticed another big man standing, then
stretching beside a large truck.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Laura had parked her car and rushed into the campus just in time to make a
lecture about relationships.  As the professor went on about healthy
relationships, Laura smiled to herself.  She wondered how he would feel
about the relationship she was involved in.

The professor seemed to think jealousy was the cause of most relationships
failing.  Jealousy of possessions and of relationships the other had with
friends.  The second worst sin in a relationship was communications, or
rather a lack there of.  Laura felt that while the professor made some
legitimate arguments, she couldn't see how they were applicable to her
situation and skimmed through the textbook looking for things she could
relate to.  Laura finally found it in the section marked users and enablers.

Using a highlighter she marked sections of the chapter that described her
life before Todd and Kelly.  She saw how foolish she had been allowing the
jock to use her and how she had let it happen.  Her mind was brought back to
the present when the professor mentioned that no relationship could ever
truly be society's ideal of each partner giving 100 percent.  "I consider
any relationship good if both partners give 51 percent," he said.  "That's
over 100 percent between the two of them, and something obtainable.  A bit
of give and take and you can find that happy middle ground that will lead to
a lasting relationship."

Laura gave his statement a lot of thought.  She knew that she gave
everything to her relationship with Todd and Kelly and knew they did as
well.  She beamed.  "Wow, that's 300 percent!" she thought to herself.

After the lecture, study units were handed out, and then she headed off to
the library to access the computers and do a bit of studying.  She quickly
found she could relate much of what the text discussed based on her parent's
relationship.  She realized she had been lucky to have had such a supportive
family.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Vanetta standing there
with a tall, thin man with a beard and a scholarly look.  Laura beamed at
Vanetta, "Hi Vanetta!  Are you in for classes today too?"

"Just a couple today," Vanetta said, "and to pick up more study units.  I
find I can get a lot more done on my own at the studio than I can here at
school."

"I'm looking forward to that day," said Laura.  "But since this is my first
semester of the first year, I think I better put in an appearance don't you
think?"

"Hell girl, they don't even notice you.  I agree there are some lectures you
should try to catch, but you can get them on the computer at the studio or
at Kelly's just as easy.  Everything's electronic now."

Robert cleared his throat.

"Yes," said Vanetta rolling her eyes in mock exasperation.  "Laura, this is
Robert, my boyfriend.  Robert, this is Laura."

Robert formally shook Laura's hand and asked, "So you're Todd's new
girlfriend?"

Laura smiled as Vanetta turned her head.  "Yes, I guess I am."

"Netta's right about attending classes," he said.  "I was a TA last year.
The professors don't even take attendance and until you get into your last
year, they can't even be bothered to learn your name.  They get paid whether
you're there or not.  On-Line is the way to go these days if you're serious
about getting your education."

"Thanks Robert," said Laura.  "I'll have to upgrade my computer though.  I
know Vanetta is often busy doing schoolwork when I see her, I just didn't
think I could be doing it now.  It would make my life so much easier."

"So," said Robert, "do you and Todd go out much?  Maybe we could catch a
movie some time.  I've never met him.  Netta keeps promising to introduce me
to him, but it seems he's always working.  I've seen his work though... he
must be in big demand."

"Oh that he is.  We just got back from four day weekend and Todd had three
separate projects he was working on."

"You went with him?" Robert asked.  "I thought it was Kelly that had gone
with him."

"She did," said Laura.  "All three of us went, and when Todd wasn't working
we had a great time."

Robert's eyebrows knitted together in thought and he looked at Vanetta.

"Don't look at me," said Vanetta laughing.  "I know nothing!  I see
nothing!"

Robert laughed.  "Okay, I won't ask anything else."

"But you'll meet everybody at the company picnic," said Vanetta.  "That's
just a few weeks away and then you can let everybody know how much you adore
me!"

Laura smiled at them as they headed off.  It was great to be in love.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Todd watched quietly as the two men unloaded the equipment and set it up in
the bay that Todd usually reserved for shooting boats and cars.

The tree took out an electronic measuring device and took notes of the
dimensions of the large bay.  Finally satisfied with the 18-foot ceiling
height they began to set up the Uneven Parallel Bars, attaching guy wires to
stacks of donut shaped weights.

"Is all that weight really necessary?" asked Todd.  "They aren't really
going to be performing any workout routines."

The tree, who had introduced himself as Jim, looked at Todd.  "It doesn't
matter.  We do it right or we don't do it at all."

"Sorry," said Todd.  "I wasn't trying to tell you how to do your job."

"It's okay," said Jim with a smile.  "People forget their physics when they
watch gymnasts.  They pull a lot of torque when they come out of a full body
spin."

Next they brought in a Balance Beam and a Vault.  Jim said, "Your models
won't be able to do much with the vault other than a few simple moves.  We
brought along a small tramp to help them launch with, but don't expect them
to be able to do anything fancy on it.  If you want more on the Vault,
you'll have to sacrifice the tumbling track."

"No, that's fine," said Todd.  "As long as they can mount it, that's all I
really need if they can hold a pose for a second."

They pulled out large rolls of double sided tape and laid down a 30-foot
length of tumbling mat that was six feet wide.

During a break from the lifting and locking equipment into place, Todd
offered them a drink.  They both chose mineral water.  It was during this
time that Todd learned they were former Olympic athletes.  In their field,
there was no money after they retired, but during their training years they
had finished college and CrossTrain Sports had hired them as safety advisors
and fitness promoters.  They went around to schools all over the country
talking to budding athletes and doing free inspections on the school's gym
equipment.

"You look pretty fit," said the one who introduced himself as Matt.  "Work
out much?"

"I go to the gym three times a week for a few hours," said Todd, "and when I
can, I like a full day workout that includes Tae-Bo and running."

"Get some swimming in if you can," said Jim.  "It'll help keep your joints
limber."

Matt laughed.  "Jimbo's right.  He was a fullback in college but his knees
let him down.  Tried hammer and discus for a few years, but now he's pretty
well just a weight man."

Todd looked at 'Jimbo' figuring him to be a good 300 pounds of muscle.  "How
much do you press?"

"Ah, on a good day I can do 400, but those days are getting fewer and fewer.
Mostly I just keep on lifting to keep the muscle tone."

As they went back to work, they locked everything securely and then covered
the entire floor with mats.  It had taken them nearly five hours to get
everything into place, tested and approved.  The last item out of the truck
was a rather large wardrobe box filled with both school type uniforms and
custom exotic ones.  With handshakes that could have crushed coconuts, they
said goodbye and promised they would be back to pick up the equipment when
Todd was ready.

"The Boss said for you to take your time.  He's hoping the new outfits will
be an added bonus to the equipment sales.  That loose stuff the kids are
wearing in school on the equipment is often a hazard." Matt added.

As they drove away, Todd realized that he had not had a proper workout in
nearly a week.  Locking the studio up, he headed downtown to his gym.  He
was going to need all his stamina to keep up to the two loves in his life!

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Kelly and Gloria had cleaned up the guest room and replaced the linen, laid
out towels and other items the girls might need.  Satisfied the room would
do, the two women relaxed in front of the TV to watch G's favorite soap
opera.  Kelly wasn't into the soaps, but she loved to watch Gloria telling
the characters who was cheating on them and who was doing the wrong thing.

Kelly started to doze off half way through the program and finally Gloria
convinced her to take a nap.

Yawning, Kelly thanked G for all her help, peeled off her clothes and
climbed into bed.  Within minutes she was out like a light.

Gloria left after her soap opera was finished, locking the door behind her.
Had she waited another ten minutes she would have met Laura.  After
finishing school for the day she had found the studio to be empty, and
headed to Kelly's.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Kelly was fast asleep, spread eagled, on her stomach on her bed.  She was
having the most erotic dream.  Someone was lightly stroking her ass cheeks
with one hand while another hand lightly brushed over her vagina.  To give
her dream lover better access, Kelly rolled over, her one hand grasping for
her breast while the other started to slide down across her tight belly to
her clit.  But something was wrong!

Kelly always kept her pubic bush closely trimmed and the sides had been
waxed off years ago.  Her hand though felt a full crop of hair between her
legs.  Before her brain could process the information, she felt a tongue
slide between her lower lips and burrow in to her clit.  Her eyes opened
immediately.

Laura had arrived at Kelly's, and using the spare key Kelly had given her
that morning, had let herself in.  She found Kelly in the most pleasant
condition.  Nude.  While she didn't really want to wake Kelly up, and had
sat quietly for nearly half an hour just looking at her lover, temptation
finally won over and she had stripped off her own clothes and joined Kelly
on the bed.

At first she had been content to just stroke Kelly's ass.  It was so firm,
so tight and so delicious looking, she soon slid her other hand underneath
Kelly to cup her vulva.  Then Kelly had turned in her sleep, and that
flawless skin was too much for Laura to resist.  She slid down the bed and
placed her head between Kelly's legs and slowly started to extend her tongue
towards the secret treasure.  As Laura's tongue made its first exploratory
strokes Kelly had buried her hand in Laura's hair and woke up.  Seeing it
was not a dream but Laura, Kelly murmured, "Hi Sweetheart," before falling
back to enjoy the pleasurable sensations her lover administered with her
tongue and hands.  It didn't take long before Kelly had her first orgasm,
but Laura continued on and pushed Kelly into a second.

Kelly collapsed on the bed pulling Laura up to her level so the two could
kiss.  Kelly could taste her own love juices on Laura's lips and moaned into
her mouth, letting her hand slide down to gently brush Laura's pubic mound.

Kelly was surprised to find Laura without panties, and gently pushing the
string of the tampon aside, began to manipulate Laura's clit.  Laura was
soon panting into Kelly's mouth as she approached her first climax.

As Laura crested, Kelly began to kiss her way down Laura's body, taking
extra time to feast on those two delectable globes with their puckered brown
nipples.  As Kelly moved further down, Laura stopped her.   "I'm sorry
Honey," she said sadly.  "I'm not ready to go that far yet."

"Well then maybe you're ready to try something a bit different?" Kelly
asked.

Laura was a bit skeptical but she trusted Kelly so she nodded her head.

Kelly pulled her own Magic Wand out of the bedside drawer and slipped a
lubricated condom over top of the tennis ball sized head.  Laura looked at
her quizzically.

"It's easier to just take the rubber off afterwards and not have to worry
about cleaning the unit itself," Kelly explained.  With the Magic Wand ready
to go, Kelly closed her legs and physically maneuvered Laura into a position
where she was straddling Kelly, their pelvic bones just touching.

"Scoot down just a little bit Honey," Kelly said.  "We need a bit of room
for our friend here."

Intrigued, Laura moved down far enough to see the two pubic patches just
slightly apart.  Kelly turned the vibrator on and slid it between them
resting it on her own clit and instructing Laura to position herself so that
her clit would be in direct contact with the vibe as well.  She gasped as
the powerful motor, which was running on low, made contact.

"Now it's up to you to use your imagination," Kelly told her.  "You can lean
back, lean forward or sit up straight.  What ever feels best to you."

Her eyes closed with pleasure, Laura tried a variety of positions. She could
tell by Kelly's ragged breathing the vibrations were bringing her close to
climax.  Laura was not far behind and dug her fingers into her calves as she
leaned back to direct her clit right on the buzzing head.  Then Kelly turned
up the power and both girls crossed their peaks.

Slowing the motor down again, Kelly encouraged Laura to try different
positions and to keep riding her.  Kelly's hips were gyrating underneath.

Three strong climaxes later, Laura collapsed on Kelly.  "God, where did you
ever learn that?" she asked.

"I told you I attended a lot of lectures," Kelly laughed.  She turned off
the vibrator and pulled it out from between the two of them.  She peeled the
condom off and wrapped it in tissue, but not before Laura noticed a few
spots of blood on it.  She blushed furiously.

"God, I'm sorry Kell," she said.  "I've probably got some on you as well."

"Honey... It's only blood.  Remember?  I'm a woman too!"

Laura rolled off Kelly and the two just cuddled till they both fell asleep.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Todd had an excellent workout in the gym, building up his heart rate and a
good sweat during three intense sessions.  He remembered the two men who had
come to set up the equipment.  He had no desire to build that kind of muscle
mass, but looking in the mirror was pleased to see he was well toned and his
muscles well defined.

Todd showered at the gym, dressed and drove his Tracker to the dealership
for an oil change and a wash.  He was flipping through some old sports
magazines as he waited in the reception area when the owner came out to see
him.

"Hey Todd, I see you made the national papers again."

"Hi Erik," Todd said.  "Which paper am I in?"

"I've seen you in three so far," Erik said, "the ones I subscribe to for the
customers who are waiting for service.  Some kind of fancy boat."

Todd laughed.  "I had already forgotten about that Erik.  It was a busy
weekend."

Erik opened up two papers and showed two different pictures of the Cuddy.
"Hell, there's even a small one in the Wall Street Journal."

"The Journal?" Todd asked.

Erik shuffled sections of paper around until he found it.  It was on an
inside page along with a short write up about IC unveiling its new boat.

"Thanks Erik, I guess I should pay more attention to the news."

"No problem my friend.  Your truck should be ready in about ten minutes."

Todd looked at the article in the Journal.  According to the writer, this
was the reason InterCoastal stock had risen so dramatically in the last
week.  Testing of the speed and stability of the new Cuddy exceeded all
industry standards for a boat of this size and type, and had broken a speed
record for its class.  The article went on about the new stabilizing wing
the boat incorporated and how this was going to set new industry standards
for safety, speed and fuel economy.

Smiling, Todd unclipped his phone and called Kelly.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Kelly and Laura had stripped the sheets off the bed and tossed them in the
wash.  As the machine was running, the girls had decided to take a soothing
bath.  They were just drying off when the phone rang.

Kelly answered.

"Hi Babe," said Todd.  "Have you bothered to check with Peter on how the
publicity pictures worked out for him?"

"I never even thought about it," said Kelly.  "Actually I think I forgot
about the whole thing."

"Well, I was just having the Tracker serviced and Erik pointed out to me
that the pictures were in three different papers in his shop alone.  One of
them was the Wall Street Journal."

"The Journal?"

Todd laughed.  "Yeah, that was my reaction too, but he showed it to me.
Some article with it too explaining the rapid climb in the stock price."

"Well Laura and I were getting ready to head to the studio.  How about
instead of us going there, you come here?  The weather is nice and we can
light up the barbecue."

"That sounds good," Todd said, "want me to bring anything?"

"No, just bring your body over.  That's all we need!"

Todd laughed and said he would be there in about an hour.  He had one more
errand to run.

After Kelly hung up she explained to Laura the change in plans and pulled
three steaks out of the freezer.

"Kelly," Laura said, "I was talking to Vanetta at school today and she said
there's not a lot of reason to attend classes, that they broadcast lectures
on the Internet to registered students and I can do all my studies at home."

"Yep, that's why they call it distant learning," Kelly said.

"Well I was thinking that I should get a new computer.  The one I had my
sister uses a lot and I'd hate to take that from her.  I've still got money
left from the settlement and thought if you didn't mind I could set it up
here."

"Oh Sweetheart," Kelly said, "you just tell your sister to keep your old
computer.  You don't need to buy one.  There's three at the studio and I
have one here."

"But I don't want to inconvenience you," Laura said.

Kelly laughed.  "Don't you fret about that my pretty, Vanetta uses one at
the studio all the time.  And I rarely use mine.  Why waste the money?"

"Well, if you're sure it's okay..."

Kelly gave Laura a swat on her butt.  "How can you even ask such a question
when we share everything else?"

Laura laughed and agreed.  Together they put the sheets back on the bed and
headed to the kitchen to prepare the rest of what would be supper for them.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Todd stopped off at the studio and picked up his containers of used
chemicals.  About once a year he took them to a small shop that specialized
in recycling chemicals.  While there were no chemicals in Todd's soup that
could be reused, for a fee, they would extract the silver particles from the
processing solution.  The silver was melted down and turned into one ounce
silver coins with the TKO logo on one side.  The weight, content purity and
the symbol for recycled was on the other.  It cost Todd nearly as much as
the coin was worth to have this process done, but he felt better knowing he
was not contributing to the pollution of the planet.  Currently he had over
100 of the coins sitting in the safe with his proof sheets and negatives.

After dropping off the chemicals, and with clean storage jars in his truck,
he headed to Kelly's.

Todd liked the outdoor barbecue at Kelly's.  It had been part of the
remodeling of her back yard.  Todd could almost taste the meat that he knew
Kelly was preparing her special way.

Todd parked his Tracker and as he stepped out he could hear the girls
laughing in the backyard.  He had stopped at a newsstand on the drive over
and picked up a copy of the Journal.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Todd was finally relaxed.  He was laying in the hammock in Kelly's backyard
with a cold beer after a super meal prepared by the girls.  Kelly and Laura
were sitting in reclining loungers sipping on mineral water.

"That weekend must have really worn me out," Todd said.  "As well as I slept
last night with my sleeping beauties, I was still tired today and you know,
I had totally forgotten about Peter sending those pictures out to the
papers."

"I know what you mean," said Kelly.  "I ended up being told by G to go to
bed this afternoon.  I was bushed, and until you mentioned the papers, I had
forgotten all about them as well."

"You think maybe we did too much on the weekend?" Laura asked.

"No Sweetheart," said Todd.  "It isn't that we did too much but there was a
lot of pressure to get from one point to the other on business, and there
was so much business to attend to.  The time we spent doing what we wanted
was great.  That's why I want a real vacation now.  No business, just doing
what we want."

"It's going to take another night through the sheets before we recover I
think," said Kelly.

"Why don't we just call it an early night then and get back into your normal
patterns?" suggested Laura.

"Ah, Honey, I feel bad now asking you to fly to Laurel Canyon to pick up
Cara and Ami," Kelly said.

"Hey, that's a job I don't mind at all," Laura said.  "I've never done so
much traveling in my life, and I get to fly again!"

Kelly laughed.  "I'm glad you enjoy it Laura.  Soon enough it will be as
common for you as driving and the thrill might disappear from it."

"I hope not," said Laura, "I never got as big a rush out of driving as I do
flying.  Being above the world, watching the cars putter along..."

Kelly smiled remembering the girl who last week was terrified to get on a
plane.

"So," said Kelly, "what's the Journal saying about IC?"

Todd had brought the paper out with him but they hadn't opened it yet.  He
tossed it to Kelly.  "I'm too tired to even read it," he said.

Kelly flipped through the pages until she saw the picture of the Cuddy with
its exposed wing.  There was a short piece to go with the picture describing
this new technology and the impact on the InterCoastal's stock value.  Kelly
flipped through some more pages until she found the latest posted share
price.  "Hmm," she thought to herself, "not bad for a weekend of
relaxation."

Todd's eyes were beginning to close, and Laura was sprawled back in her
chair quietly looking at the sky.  It was still early, but obviously the
three were tuckered out.  With an effort, Kelly got up and gave Todd a
gentle shake.  "Come on sleepy head, it's time for bed."

"Yeah, I suppose I should head home," Todd said.

"Don't be silly," Kelly said.  "Let's just go to bed here.  We all have to
go to the studio in the morning."

"I give up," Todd said.  "You talked me into it."  With that he headed off
to the bathroom to brush his teeth and relieve himself before crawling into
bed.

Laura insisted on helping Kelly clean up the yard and put the chairs away
but Kelly shooed her off to bed as well.  "You've got to travel tomorrow
Sweetheart.  I get to put my feet up."

Grumbling, Laura did as she was told.

Kelly put away the chairs and picked up the last of the dishes and went
inside the house.  She washed the dishes and put the leftovers into the
fridge.  By the time she was done and had taken care of her own personal
needs, she finally made her way to the bedroom.  Laura and Todd were already
fast asleep.  They had pulled the blankets back and were lying on the sheets
nude.  Laura was on her back, her dark brown nipples standing up as if
anticipating something.  Todd was on his stomach with one arm draped over
Laura's belly.  Kelly smiled, removed the last of her clothes and crawled in
behind Todd draping an arm over him.  Within minutes she was asleep as well.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Todd woke up Wednesday morning to the smell of bacon and eggs, and alone in
bed.  Looking at the alarm clock he saw it was 8:30.  He had slept nearly 12
hours. Pulling on his scrubs he headed to the kitchen.

"Well look what the cat dragged in," laughed Laura.

"Breakfast is nearly ready, so we would have gotten you up in a few minutes
anyway," said Kelly.

Todd rubbed his eyes.  "I guess that gives me time to empty myself then," he
said.

"Want me to help you again?" asked Laura.

Todd blushed and Kelly raised her eyebrows.

"No thanks Sweetheart.  I think I can do it myself today," said Todd.

As Todd left the kitchen, Kelly said to Laura, "you realize you are going to
have to explain that to me!"

Laura laughed and promised to fill Kelly in on all the details later.

As they were sitting down to breakfast Todd said, "Isn't there some kind of
law against you being up this early Kell?"

"I probably could have slept longer," she replied, "but the phone woke me
up."

"Anything important?"

"It was Rachel.  She's got a buyer for that row of duplexes we bought two
years ago, actually its sort of a semi trade.  She's got a seller of an
80-unit apartment complex who ended up over his head and needs to bail.
He's about a half million into the bank after rebuilding the place.  It's
totally empty now, and the bank won't wait until he starts filling it.  She
convinced him that she might have a buyer to take over the note and for the
balance set him up with occupied duplexes."

Todd leaned back and thought about this.  Rachel was their real estate
broker and loved the commissions she earned off of TKO's realty investments.
It was a safer hedge against inflation than the meager interest rates
offered by the banks.  She had been the one that found the studio for Todd
and Kelly when they first moved to Charlotte and then had gotten Kelly's
house at a bargain price.  In the years that followed, she found Todd and
Kelly smart investors, and with ready money in a cash strapped market.
Without having the hassles of bank mortgage rates, Rachel had made TKO her
number one client when she found a bargain.  And there were bargains, but
not for people who needed bank approval.  The duplexes were good cash
generating units, but it took a lot of work keeping tenants and collecting
the rent.  An apartment complex would save a lot of headaches since they
could then hire a manager to live in and take care of any problems.  The
more Todd thought about it the more the idea appealed to him.

"What do you think Kell?  Want to take a look later?"

Kelly laughed.  "I knew you would want to see it, so I told her that we
would meet her at eleven o'clock right after Laura leaves to pick up the
girls."

They finished breakfast, and after cleaning up the dishes and dressing, the
three of them took their own cars to the studio.  Todd had convinced Laura
to take his Tracker to the airport.  "You don't know how much stuff Cara and
Ami will be bringing with them so the extra room will make sure you don't
need to make two trips."

It was just after ten when the trio arrived at the studio.  Vanetta was at
her usual post.  Todd showed them the equipment that Jim and Matt had set
up.  "I'm going to need a couple of days to adjust the floods on the
ceiling, but I think this is going to work out pretty good."

Kelly, Laura and Vanetta looked at the outfits.

"Some of these are pretty skimpy," Kelly said.  "We might need to do a bit
of hair removal.  I hope the girls don't mind."

"I'm sure you can arrange that without a problem," said Todd.

Looking at the time, Laura said she better be heading off, so Todd handed
her the keys to the Tracker and after goodbye kisses she was out the door
and on her way to Laurel Canyon.

Checking to make sure there was nothing important that had to be taken care
of, Kelly told Vanetta that they would be back just after lunch, and she and
Todd took off in her Elantra.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

The apartment complex was in an older but well maintained subdivision of
Charlotte.  Rachel was waiting for them.

"Hi guys," she said with a smile.  "Glad that you made it."

"Hi Rachel," Kelly said to the tall thin brunette.  "You want to tell us
what the rest of the story is?"

Rachel blushed.  "I'm sorry Kelly, I should have told you the whole story
right from the get-go.  The building was built 20 years ago, and closed by
the city last year for not meeting the revised building codes.  Fred, the
owner, bought it hoping to bring it up to standards, but the banks were
skittish of lending him the funds, so I helped him obtain the money based on
the assets of his construction company and his own house.  It took him and
his crew nearly a year bringing it up to code, but to finish the job he fell
behind in his payments.  Of course the bank is a heartless corporation and
after three months of missing payments, they called the note.  He received
notice yesterday that if he didn't pay off the note by the end of the week
they were going to foreclose on him and he would lose everything.  I suppose
if you really wanted to get it cheap, you could wait until next week and buy
it direct from the bank, but then Fred would lose everything.  I knew you
wanted to unload the duplexes and thought that maybe you would be interested
in some sort of deal."

Todd nodded.  He could understand where Rachel was coming from.  She had
arranged financing for the man and now he stood to lose everything.  She was
trying to alleviate the guilt she felt for helping him out in the first
place.

Kelly looked at the two-story building.  The brickwork had been sandblasted
and the roof was obviously new as were the handicapped ramps at the doors.
She did want to drop the duplexes, but Rachel was right.  She could just
wait a week and make a cash offer to the bank.  "How close are you to Fred?"
she asked.

"He was one of my first clients and every time I found a rundown house I
called him.  He's restored a lot of houses in town but this was his biggest
project ever.  He would have done okay but between waiting for inspectors
and extra work he hadn't anticipated, he just kept sliding further behind.
He's in his late fifties, and this would destroy him."

"Let's take a look inside then," Kelly said.

After an hour of inspecting the apartments, it was clear that Fred was a
craftsman.  The walls were smooth with fresh paint, the cupboards in the
units had all been replaced, and 20 of the apartments on the first floor
were all handicap accessible.

"Give us an hour to do some thinking on this Rachel," Kelly said.  "I'll
call you at your office."

Rachel thanked them for taking the time and after locking the doors she
drove off.  Todd and Kelly remained behind sitting on the hood of the
Elantra looking at the building.

"Buying it from the bank at the cost of someone's livelihood goes against my
nature," said Todd.

"Yeah, me too," said Kelly, "but this puts us in a bit of a bind.  Obviously
other people aren't going to be interested in what happens to the man, and
this will ruin him."  She lit up a cigarette as she thought about the
consequences.

"I know what would make me feel better about the whole thing," Todd said.
"If we could turn this into a restricted building for seniors."

Kelly thought about Muriel and slowly nodded her head.  "Maybe it's time we
did something for people again, those who need it.  Let me check with Steve
and see if we can get permission for zoning."

Todd nodded with a smile.

Kelly called Steve from her cell phone and explained the situation and the
need for a quick answer.

"Give me ten minutes Kelly," he said, "I've got a few contacts down at city
hall that can give me a definite answer.  I'll call you back."

Todd and Kelly drove to a nearby store and picked up a couple of bottles of
Soby's that they drank in the car.

True to his word, Steve called back within ten minutes.  "You're in luck,"
he said, "there's a shortage of housing for the elderly, and the area you're
in is wide open for any kind of enterprise, but to prevent other people
claiming age discrimination, you'll need to clearly identify it as a
senior's complex."

"Thanks Steve.  I think we'll have Rachel get in touch with you later.
We're going to trade that row of duplexes for this building."

"Anything I can do to help," said Steve.

Kelly said goodbye and closed the phone.  "Well Mr. Ayres, I guess the
decision is up to us now."

Todd rubbed his face, the way he usually did when thinking about something
serious.  "Real Estate is a good investment, but those duplexes, we have
people moving in and out all the time and even though we hire a management
company to take care of things for us, we're paying a lot for maintenance of
the buildings.  This would be a smarter choice, and it would make me feel
better knowing we were providing a service as well."

"And," said Kelly, "Rachel's always been good to us.  She's steered us into
some prime properties long before they hit the open market and gotten us the
best price possible..."

Todd looked at Kelly and smiled.  "Go ahead and give her a call."

Kelly dialed Rachel's number.  It only rang once suggesting that Rachel was
sitting waiting for the call.

"Rachel, has Fred seen the duplexes?  Does he know what he's getting in
exchange?"

"Yes, and he thinks he will just about break even, which to him is a whole
lot better than going under."

"Okay Rachel, you know the drill.  Present Steve with the paperwork and the
documentation proving the building is up to code, and we'll do the deal."

"Thanks Kelly!  I owe you guys big time."

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

It was just after one o'clock when Kelly pulled her car back into the studio
parking lot.

Vanetta told them that Laura had called from the airport in Summerville and
that they were on their way.  Kelly made lunch for the three of them while
Todd started arranging the floods.

By the time lunch was finished, Vanetta was ready to head home and Kelly
caught up on her correspondence and her data entry on her customers.  She
was just finishing up when Jorge called.

"Hi Kelly," he said in a jovial voice.  "Do you think I can have Laura for
the last two weeks in August?"

"Of course Jorge.  Her schedule is clear because she's under exclusive
contract to you."

"Well, I was worried she might be busy with school work."

"No problem Jorge, she's on a flexible timetable so when you need her,
you've got her.  We'll bring her up in person, Todd wants to get together
with Mike anyway and I've got to make my semi annual visit to the office.
So let's plan on arriving on the 15th and you can have her till September
1st."

"Thanks Kelly.  My people have been working off the pictures that Todd took
and created a few special outfits for her to debut in."

"That's great Jorge!  So, we'll see you in a few weeks then.  Take care."

Kelly went and told Todd the news.  "Think she needs any more lessons in
posing?" Kelly laughed.

"Not after that weekend at Brookhaven!" he said laughing.  "I still remember
that bathtub scene."

"Just as long as nobody else sees those pictures!" Kelly said.

They both heard the sound of Todd's Tracker pulling into the parking lot.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Cara and Ami were giggling as they entered the studio.  Laura was just
shaking her head.  "It's like having my younger sisters over," she said.
"Just a constant giggle-fest."

Cara and Ami dropped their bags on the floor as soon as they saw the
equipment.  Rushing over they felt the wood and examined the mats.  "Wow!"
said Cara.  "This stuff is so new, I'll bet nobody's ever touched it."

Todd had followed the girls over and asked if it met with their approval.
After a convincing round of affirmative sounds, Todd chuckled.  "Now I'll
show you what you'll be selling," and led them to the box of outfits.

Ami lifted up one that was nearly a second skin.  "Bet I would have gotten
an extra half point if I had worn this at the Florida Visa Invitational!"

As the gymnasts looked over the outfits, Kelly took Laura aside and asked
how the trip had been and if there had been any difficulties with the
parents.

"Surprisingly not," said Laura.  "I asked the girls about it on the way to
the airport, and they said that they've been on the road for so many years
that their parents are used to it."

Cara and Ami came back from their inspection of the equipment.  "It looks
like the only thing that's missing is chalk," said Ami.

"We'll need a case of it at least," said Cara.

"I'll call and take care of it," said Todd.

"Did you get a chance to eat?" Kelly asked.

Laura laughed.  "I'll say.  These girls were on about food before the cab
was halfway to the airstrip.  I had to make a stop so they could pick up
some snacks and drinks and after we landed I headed right for a restaurant.
If I ate half of what they do, I'd look like the Goodyear Blimp!"

"Yeah, I can see their metabolism rate is high," said Kelly.  "They're used
to burning it off, but with them leaving competition, they're going to have
to cut back.  Thanks for picking them up Laura."

"No problem Kell.  It's not like I'm doing much else these days."

"Speaking of which," said Kelly, "Jorge called today and you make your
public debut in front of Mike's camera the last 16 days of August."

"Todd said Mike is a good photographer, so I'm not nervous anymore," said
Laura.  "I'm actually looking forward to it.  I'll get as much studying done
as I can between now and then so that I look like I'm making headway."

Todd had shown the girls the change room as well as the rest of the studio.
They were brimming with excitement and grabbing a couple of the more
expensive outfits in their respective sizes rushed off to try them on.

Minutes later they made a dramatic entrance.  Kelly looked at Laura who
looked at Kelly.  "Todd, can you give us a few minutes?" Kelly asked.

Todd already knew what was coming and said he would be upstairs watching TV.

"Ladies," Kelly began.  "There are a few things Laura and I will help you
with in the next week before Todd can actually start shooting."

"Like what?" Ami asked.  "We're all set to hit the bars now.  These outfits
are great!"

Coughing discreetly, Laura got their attention and she looked down at their
pubic areas where tufts of hair were clearly exposed.

Cara looked at Ami's groin as Ami looked at Cara's.  "Oh my God!" said Ami
blushing furiously.

"It's okay," Kelly said.  "We're all models here, you two are just
inexperienced.  That's why we're going to show you the ropes, and the
tricks."

Cara had her hands over her crotch.

"That's another thing we'll have to take care of as well," said Kelly.
"Those hands look a little bit rough, and those nails!  But don't you worry,
that's why we asked for the extra time.  We knew that there would be certain
areas that would require some tender loving care."  She didn't notice Cara's
nipples harden when she said that.

"How about changing back into your regular clothes and we'll head to my
place, which will be your home while you are here and get you settled in and
then we can talk about what we need to do."

As the girls ran off to change, Laura went upstairs to get Todd.

The girls were changed, and had their bags back in the Tracker but Laura and
Todd were still upstairs.  "Just give them a minute," Kelly said.  "I'm sure
there's something important they had to discuss."

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Laura was breathing through her nose as she continued to swallow Todd's cock
deep into her throat.  His breathing and guiding hands were both out of sync
as he approached his climax.

Laura found that with practice, taking Todd deep in her throat became easier
every time and she so enjoyed the pleasure it brought him.  Feeling him
stiffen, she slid her mouth back so that her tongue could swirl around his
glans while her hand stemmed the flow of semen so as to prolong his
pleasure.  When she finally released the grip on his shaft, she bobbed down
again taking him all the way in while massaging his balls with her hand.
Shots of hot cum fired deep into her stomach, and she continued to suck on
his cock until it was completely deflated.

Licking her lips, she gave him a kiss and suggested they should head back
downstairs.

"So, Laura is Todd's girlfriend?" Cara asked.

"Actually, she's also mine, and I'm Todd's girlfriend as well.  I figure I
might as well tell you right now since there won't be a chance to hide it
from you for more than a day or two at the most."

"Cool!" said Cara.  "There're a lot of girls in gymnastics who fool around
with each other..."

"And a lot of girls who play both sides of the court," said Ami.  "Then we
found out that Erin's brother has all these girlfriends who fool around with
each other too."

"Ami... That's supposed to be a secret!" Cara said.

"It's okay girls.  We know about the James Gang."

Ami blushed.  "We were curious you know, and after James had this talk with
us about doing what feels right when it feels right, Cara and I took a
shower together.  Not like the ones at school where all your classmates are
watching but a private one.  I've never been with anybody, but Cara had a
boyfriend last summer."

Cara just threw her hands up.  "Is there anyone left who you haven't told?"
she asked.

"Sorry Cara, I was just trying explain that he kind of used you and that you
didn't find the sex satisfactory at all."

Cara looked dejected.  "Yeah, for all he did for me, I might as well have
just frigged myself and kept my dignity and at least had a climax."

"James is right you know," said Kelly.  "You know when the time is right,
and you do what feels right.  There's no age limit or expiration date, so
don't rush in to something you aren't ready for.  I never thought I could
have a relationship with another woman and it took quite some time before
the innocent flirting led to something more serious."

Cara looked like she was about to ask something else but was interrupted
when Todd and Laura came back down the stairs.  They decided to head to
Kelly's, let the girls get settled in and then make supper.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Cara and Ami unpacked and put their personal stuff away while Kelly and
Laura went about making supper.  Todd sprawled out on the couch in the
living room.

As suppertime approached, Laura got the vitamins and "go-juice" out.  "Shall
we start the girls on the same regimen?" she asked.

"Let's first find out what they're taking now," said Kelly.

"Okay.  How long do you think it will be before Todd is ready to shoot
them?"

"Well," said Kelly.  "First off, we're going to have to fix up some of the
wear and tear that their exercises caused, then Todd will want to go through
the various poses they can perform, either holding a position or 'in
motion.'  I figure we have about two weeks before he starts."

Cara and Ami entered the kitchen and asked if there was anything they could
do to help.

Kelly smiled at them.  "Thanks girls, but we've got it under control for
tonight.  Why not pull up a chair, there's a few questions I've got, and I'm
sure you have a few yourselves, but is the bedroom okay?  Do you have enough
space?"

"Oh," said Ami, "the room is great.  We don't mind sharing a bed, and we
didn't bring that much stuff.  We brought our bathing suits and mostly T's,
tank tops and shorts."

"Yeah, I didn't think of it till we got back, but I should have asked if you
minded sharing a bed.  I know it's a big one, but I could have arranged to
get two singles," Kelly said.

"Nah, we don't mind do we Cara?" said Ami.

Cara blushed slightly and asked, "When will we get trimmed down there?  Can
we do it ourselves or will you help?  I'm not really that shy, but I
wouldn't want complete strangers doing it."

Laura smiled as she remembered Kelly taking her to see Mistress Helga.  "I'm
sure we can work something out right Kelly?"

"Sure, it's really not such a big deal.  By the way, what vitamins are you
girls taking?"

Cara looked at Ami before answering.  "We don't really take vitamins, we
used to drink this stuff to help keep us healthy without putting on any
weight.  Kind of like the Ultra Slim shakes but not as tasty.  It was
supposed to contain all kinds of vitamins, but all the iron in it made us
constipated."

Laura nearly laughed remembering her first encounter with the "go-juice."

"Well," said Kelly, "we're going to put you on an all natural vitamin
routine.  Ask Laura, it does wonders for the skin, eliminates bloating and
cleans all the toxins out of your system."

Laura was already placing two extra helpings of the vitamins and 'go-juice'
on the table.  "Kelly showed me the easiest way to take these," she said,
and demonstrated popping all the pills and capsules in her mouth and washing
them down with the 'go-juice.'  "And I can personally guarantee that you
won't be constipated!"

"By the time a week has gone by," said Kelly, "you'll already notice the
difference.  Now, do either of you have allergies to any food or anything
you don't like?"

"No," said Cara.  "We'll eat just about anything!"

"I'm glad to hear that," said Kelly.  "I didn't think of it before we
started on supper.  We're having chicken Al Fredo, with a fresh salad.  We
have mineral water, soda water and 7-Up in the house.  Take what you like
for supper, and anytime you get hungry or thirsty, just help yourselves."

The girls picked up their vitamins tentatively, dropped them into their
mouths like Laura had done and then swallowed down the "go-juice."

"Ugh," said Ami.  "That sort of tasted like prune juice but it had some kind
of granules in it."

Laura handed them both bottles of mineral water.  "You'll get used to it
real fast.  It is prune juice and the stuff you noticed in it is milled flax
seed and ground soy lecithin."

"Flax seed... Isn't that supposed to be good for sore joints?" Ami asked.

"It sure is," said Kelly, "along with a lot of other things it's good for.
We take it twice a day and supplement it with fresh fruit and vegetables.
The good news is that if you take it regularly, you can even indulge in a
chocolate bar every now and then."

"I don't want to sound rude," said Ami, "but Cara and I are kind of big
protein eaters.  What we can do to a steak would shame most dogs!"

Kelly laughed with them.  "The fridge is always stocked with all kinds of
snack food.  Turkey Jerky, cold chicken, smoked fish, and we like our steak
as well."

A visible sign of relief was visible on Ami's face.

"Laura, do you want to get Todd?  I think we're ready to eat."

"Oh!" said Ami.  "Let us get him.  Last time Laura got him it took her
nearly half an hour!"

As the two girls bounded out of the room, Kelly was shaking with laughter.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Todd poured three glasses of wine before he sat down to eat.  Cara and Ami
were looking at them longingly.

Kelly noticed the look and nodded to Todd.  "Just as long as you don't head
home with any bad habits," she said.

Todd poured two more glasses.

"We won't," promised Cara.

"My dad had a heart attack a few years ago," said Ami.  "Now he drinks a
glass every night before he goes to bed.  His doctor said it's full of
anti-oxidants, so we'll just consider this part of a good healthy diet!"

Everybody laughed at that.

"It actually is quite good for that," said Kelly, "but you could get the
same from eating lots of blueberries."

"But blueberries don't taste this good," said Cara smacking her lips.

After supper, Cara and Ami insisted on doing the dishes.  It was just after
seven and the five of them were sitting outside.  As usual, Todd was
sprawled in the hammock.  All of them had bottles of mineral water.

"What do you girls do for entertainment?" asked Kelly.

"When we were in competition, we didn't have much time for leisure
activities," said Ami.  "I like to read."

"Between practice and travel, there wasn't much we could do," said Cara.
"Mostly games like Foosball or ping pong when we weren't doing homework.  No
serious sports though in case we got hurt.  When we could, I could settle
down for a good movie, but otherwise, I just read whatever Ami finished."

"An athlete's life isn't all that glamorous," said Ami.  "You were always
working out to keep in shape.  Even now, we'll have to do our warm up
exercises every day just to keep our muscles toned."

"Just the warm ups take nearly an hour a day," said Cara.  "I thought I
could ease out of it gradually after I changed my diet and my metabolism
slowed a bit, but I don't want to turn to flubber."

Ami laughed.  "Cara's so worried about her shape."

"Do you like biking?" asked Kelly, "Or roller-blading?  After work hours,
the studio streets are nearly empty and there's good pavement."

Both Cara and Ami nodded enthusiastically.

"Okay, tomorrow we'll see about getting some bikes and blades for you girls.
I have to get them for Laura as well."

"That's a pretty impressive TV you've got in the living room," said Cara.

"Yeah, I'll say!" echoed Ami.  "Must be over 40 inches and with surround
sound speakers!"

Kelly smiled.  "And over 100 channels to choose from, though there's little
I watch.  Feel free to watch what you like, but I'll warn you now, Wednesday
nights at 8, don't even think about touching the remote if Todd's around!"

The girls looked at her quizzically.

"Enterprise comes on," explained Laura.

"Oh, I should have guessed.  Sunday at Brookhaven you were all wearing
something from Star Trek," said Ami.

"Speaking of which," said Todd, "It's getting pretty close to that time now.
If you ladies will excuse me."

"Do you have movie channels on your cable?" asked Ami.

"Only about nine of them," laughed Kelly.  Then her tone turned serious.
"Look girls, I want to get something perfectly clear with you okay?"

Cara and Ami nodded silently, wondering what was coming.

"I'm glad to open my home to you, happy to in fact, but I'm not your parents
or your guardian." Kelly stopped to light up a cigarette.  After a deep drag
she continued.  "Considering your backgrounds and the responsibilities
you've handled, I'm not going to restrict you from anything.  That's not my
job.  My job is to make sure that you look good and stay in good health.  A
glass of wine or a beer isn't going to destroy you or your looks.  I'm not
the morality police.  The same goes for the TV.  If you want to watch a
movie that society says you aren't old enough to watch, then it's your
choice and decision.  You're the ones that have to live with your actions
and decisions.  If there's something that you want from a store where your
age is a factor, Laura and I will be happy to pick it up for you, just as
long as you realize you are going to be treated like adults and equals.  End
of lecture." She said laughing.

Cara let out a deep sigh.  "Wow.  I thought you were about to lay a whole
bunch of rules on us!"

"Yeah, me too," said Ami.  "But don't worry Kelly.  We'll respect your stuff
and treat it with respect."

"We've also learned not to talk to other people about where we've been or
what we did there," said Cara.  "When we were in Europe, most of the
countries we went to had no drinking age.  That's not something we really
wanted to tell people in Laurel Canyon!"

"And we certainly didn't tell anybody about the beaches either!" added Ami.

Kelly laughed.  "I know all about those beaches girls.  Did you just go to
look or did you go native?"

Cara and Ami both laughed.  "Most of us went native when the coaches weren't
around.  It was so cool going topless, and nobody even paid any attention,"
said Cara.  "I thought it was just because my boobs were so small at the
time, but even the bustier girls didn't get much of a second glance."

"It's because the lifestyle isn't as uptight there as it is here," said
Kelly.  "It really is a different world outside of the US."

Laura pouted.  "I got out of the Carolinas finally, but I'm still waiting
for my first trip out of the country."

"Most of the countries we've been to have been really cool to visit, and we
had a great time, but France... they think they're so perfect and look down
at us all the time.  You'd think they forgot who saved their ass in WWII!"
said Ami.

"It's convenient for some people to forget who their friends are," said
Kelly.  "That's why we keep a data base of all our customers as well as
models.  We have no need or use for people that don't appreciate or remember
their friends."

"I know I'll never forget," said Laura leaning over and giving Kelly a kiss.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Todd came out after "Enterprise" was over.  He was carrying a beer in his
hand.  "Well, I guess I better get my butt back to the studio."

"Whatever for?" Kelly asked.  "There's nothing you can do there tonight, why
not just spend another night?"

Todd glanced at Cara and Ami who just smiled.

"I take it they know then?"

"Well, they would have figured it out pretty quick even if Laura hadn't
blown the secret back at the studio!"  Kelly said and then she started to
laugh, as did Laura.

"What's so funny?" Todd asked as both Cara and Ami started to laugh too.

"Todd," said Laura, "I 'blew' the secret!"

Todd blushed and leaned into the hammock taking care not to spill his beer.
"It's going to be damn hard being the only male among four women," he said.

Laura laughed again.  "I should hope it's hard!"

Everybody including Todd groaned at the pun.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

They stayed outside for another hour enjoying the cooling breeze and then
Cara and Ami said they were going to head off to bed and read.  They would
shower first.

Kelly told them to go ahead and they would see them in the morning.

Todd raised his eyebrows after the girls headed in.

"I don't think so," said Kelly.  "Maybe curious, but nothing has happened
yet."

"Well we know that Cara has had a boyfriend," said Laura, "but I'm not sure
about Ami."

"What do you mean Honey?" Kelly asked.

"Ah, you know those feelings I get.  I don't think that a boyfriend is what
Ami is looking for."

"Are you serious?" Todd asked.

"If you're born to swing just one way Sweetheart," Laura said, "you only
look one way."

"But what about you and Kell?" Todd continued.  "As far as I know, you had
never entertained the idea of making love with another woman before you met
Kelly, and even for Kelly it's been a recent change."

"Well..." said Laura.  "I can understand Kelly and Brenda, or for that
matter any of the James Gang girls.  They're very sexual and open, very
loving and sharing.  While I had never sexual feelings for another woman,
the thought didn't repulse me.  As you know, I'm very sexual myself.  I'm
not sure what it was about Kelly that drew me to her so physically and
emotionally, but from the first time we met, I was hot for her.  I don't
want to make it sound too mystical, but I believe we have a bond.  The same
bond I have with you Todd.  I feel like this was meant to be."

Kelly was nodding.  "That's what I think too.  It's something that was meant
to be.  We just had to wait for the time to be right."

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Cara was soaping Ami's back.  Unlike the shower they had shared at
Brookhaven, this time there was actual physical contact, though it had not
gone beyond the washing of Ami's back.

"What do you think Ami?"

Ami was enjoying the touch of Cara's hands on her back, her eyes closed with
pleasure.  "I'm sorry Cara, I was kind of out of it for a minute.  What do I
think of what?"

"This place, the setup, the being treated like adults, about Todd and Kelly
and Laura."

"Mmm... right now I'm loving it," giggled Ami.

Cara gave Ami's butt a slap.  "Seriously!"

"Okay!" said Ami rubbing her lower cheek.  Then she smiled.  "I think I'm
going to love it here.  I like the three of them.  I like the way they talk
to us like we actually have brains.  The house is nice and we can do pretty
well whatever we want to."

"Yeah," sighed Cara applying more soap to Ami's back.  "I like it too."

"I think you better give that soap to me now Cara or I'll fall asleep from
the way you're doing my back."

"Am I that boring?"

"Hell no.  It feels too good!"

"Okay then," said Cara as she handed the soap to Ami.

"Well, turn around.  I'm going to do your back."

Cara turned and the minute that Ami's hands first made contact with her back
her nipples stiffened right up.

"What was it really like Cara?  To be kissed by Josh."

Cara sighed.  "Honestly?  You promise not to tell anybody?"

"I swear Cara.  I've only been joking about your fling with him cause you
never told me what really happened."

"Well, kissing him was the pits.  He didn't know how and kept trying to
force his tongue all the way down my throat.  My lips hurt for days after
every time he was necking with me.  That's why I let him go farther in the
first place.  My mouth couldn't take it anymore.  I figured that if I let
him play with my boobs he'd be more gentle."

"And was he?"

"NO!  It was like being mauled by monkey.  He handled them like they were
fruit he was checking out for ripeness and when he wasn't squeezing them he
was twisting my nipples like they had built in volume controls."

"So why didn't you stop him?" Ami asked.  "You've always let on you went all
the way."

Cara started to sob softly.  Ami wrapped her arms around her friend.  "It's
okay Cara, if you don't want to talk about it."

"Later maybe.  When we're in bed."

The girls rinsed off and dried themselves with the big fluffy towels that
Kelly had laid out for them.  They brushed their teeth and slipping on baggy
T's headed to the kitchen.

"See if there's any of that chicken left," said Ami looking over Cara's
shoulder.

"Nope, but there's smoked fish in here if you want some of that."

"Great, I'll see if there are any crackers, and grab a couple of bottles of
that mineral water at the same time."

"Are you sure you wouldn't rather have a beer?" Cara asked.

"Nah, not tonight."

Stacking a plate with crackers and fish, the girls headed off to their
bedroom.  They sat on opposite ends of the bed with their feet up, the plate
between them reading Ami's latest obsession, the "Prey" series by John
Sandford.

They heard the shower turn on and heard lots of giggling and moaning and
looked at each other blushing.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

As Kelly cleared away the empty bottles she noticed that the girls had made
themselves at home.  She smiled.  She liked the two gymnasts.  Leaving a
small light on in the kitchen she went and joined Todd and Laura in the
shower.

Kelly and Laura took turns soaping and stroking Todd's cock in the shower
and as much as he tried to hold off, he shot his first load within five
minutes.

"It's such a waste to see it go down the drain isn't it?" said Laura.

"Yes it is.  Todd, you should be more considerate."

Todd laughed.  Three could play this game.  Grabbing Kelly around the waist
he turned her in the shower so that she faced Laura.  With his free hand he
reached down and started to stroke Kelly's clit.  It was engorged, filled
with lust, and her juices were dripping out as Todd made short circular
strokes around her most sensitive area.  Laura decided to help out and
slipped two fingers in to Kelly's hot cunt, pulling forward slightly till
she felt the spongy "G spot."  Soon Kelly was squirming, just on the edge of
orgasm.  With a thrust of her hips she buried Laura's fingers deep inside
and let loose with a small scream as she came.  But Todd was far from done.
He knew Kelly could cum again within seconds if he just brushed her clit
hood so that the now super sensitive clit wouldn't feel like it was being
bruised.  Gently he used two fingers to slide back and forth over her labia
lips gently tugging them upward to push the sensation to her clit.  He could
feel her start to shake again and Laura had crouched down so as to piston
her fingers like a cock inside Kelly's vagina.

This time it was a sobbing moan as Kelly crossed her peak again.  She went
limp and Todd had to hold her up to stop her from slipping.  It was a good
two minutes before Kelly could stand by herself again.  With a devilish look
in her eyes she stared at Laura.

"So, you thought you'd help Todd did you my pretty?  I'll fix you for that
and your little kitty too!"

Laura had no place to move to and soon Kelly's fingers were all over her,
tickling!

Laura begged for mercy between howls of laughter, but Kelly wouldn't let up.

"Don't Kelly, if I laugh too hard I pee myself!"

Todd encouraged Kelly to keep on going and slid down between the two girls
as Kelly continued her attack on Laura's ribs.

"Argh!" screamed Laura and Kelly laughed as she watched Laura's bladder give
way to the tickling.  What surprised her was how quickly Laura grasped her
vulva and aimed her spray right on Todd's chest and groin.

"My goodness.  We are a little kinky aren't we?" said Kelly.  But curiosity
quickly overcame her and she placed her own hand in the stream still gushing
from Laura.

"Mmm... Feels nice." Kelly said, putting both her hands into the stream and
cupping them letting them fill up before releasing her catch onto Todd's
raging erection.

Finally Laura trickled out and as Todd rinsed himself, Kelly played with
Laura's wet box.  She wanted to warm Laura up so that Todd could slide right
in.  When they had washed the sheets from Kelly's bed, Laura had told her
that until her period was done, Todd would have to be satisfied with oral
sex from her.  But she had shown back at Brookhaven that she was not averse
to copulating in the shower with Todd.

Todd turned and saw Kelly working magic with her fingers on Laura's clit.
Stepping up and bending slightly he slipped his cock in.  The heat and the
tightness was fantastic and he slowly built up a steady rhythm holding Laura
up under her ass while her back leaned against the wall and her arms were
around his neck.

Kelly saw Laura's eyes grow distant and knew that her climax was coming
soon.  Todd could feel it as well and started to increase his tempo, until
Laura moaned out her climax into his mouth.

The water was starting to lose its heat so the three of them finished off
their shower quickly and after drying off headed for the bedroom.  Kelly and
Todd left first as Laura had to insert a new tampon.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Ami and Cara had listened closely to all the moaning, laughter and
screaming, exchanging thoughts about what was going on in the shower.  When
the shower finally turned off and they heard footsteps leading away, Ami got
up to return the now empty plate to the kitchen, wash it up and put it away.
She and Cara had decided they were not going to act like spoiled kids, but
would live up to their promise of respecting Kelly's house.

Ami had just stepped out of the bedroom when she ran right into Laura.

"I'm sorry," said Ami.  "I thought you guys had gone to bed."

Laura was standing in the hallway with only her panties on.  Ami tried to
look away, but her eyes were drawn like magnets to Laura's beautiful boobs.

Ami was still wearing her t-shirt, but her nipples had visibly hardened.
Something that Laura noticed.  "That's okay Ami."  Laura smiled at her. "I
hope we didn't make so much noise that we woke you two up."

"No, we were still reading.  I was just going to wash this plate up and put
it back."

"You can just put it in the sink," said Laura.  "No need to go washing
single plates.  We'll catch it in the morning with the breakfast dishes."
Then Laura leaned forward and whispered, "If you call what we'll be having
as breakfast."

Ami giggled, said goodnight and walked away while Laura went to the bedroom.

As Laura got into bed, Kelly asked her what had kept her.

"I ran into Ami in the hallway.  She was going to wash a single plate.  I
told her to just leave it in the sink."

"And that's all you were wearing?" asked Todd.

"I hadn't brought anything else in with me."

"Maybe I should talk to them for a second," Kelly said.  "I know they said
they would respect our stuff, but washing a plate?"

Kelly climbed out of bed.  "Be back in a minute."

Kelly slipped a t-shirt on and headed down the hall.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

"And all she was wearing were panties?" Cara asked her eyes wide.

"Yep, and she just stood there as friendly and calm as if nothing was
wrong."

"What did she look like?"

"You know what she looks like Cara."

"Yeah, I know she looks good dressed, but you know... what did she look
like?"

"She's got gorgeous boobs, big nipples too!  A small waist and hips that
just flare out.  God, I got hot just looking at her."

"Lucky you," Cara said.  She was about to say more when somebody knocked on
the door.

"Hi guys," said Kelly.  "Look, I appreciate the fact that you are willing to
wash up after yourselves, but honestly.  You don't have to go to extremes.
Laura said you were going to wash a single plate.  If it's sticky, sure,
rinse it off, but just put it in the sink."

"Okay," said Ami.

Cara gulped.  "Uh Kelly, is it normal to see people walking around here with
only panties on?"

Kelly smiled and sat on the edge of the bed.  "Actually, that's a bit
overdressed in this house when it's just our family.  If it bothers you,
Laura and I can manage to wear something all the time you are here."

"Oh no..." said Ami.  "It doesn't bother us does it Cara?"

"Nope, it doesn't bother me.  Ami was just a bit surprised is all," said
Cara.

"But you don't have to worry about running into Todd in the nude," laughed
Kelly.  "He's a perfect gentleman and always has his pants on... except of
course when he's in bed with Laura and me."

Kelly got up and headed for the door.  "Good night ladies.  Pleasant
dreams."

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

Kelly got back to her bedroom in time to see Laura's head snuggled in Todd's
groin.  Seeing Kelly she said, "I'm just warming him up for you Sweetheart."

"Oh goodie!" said Kelly.  "I feel a need to have something long and hard
inside me right now."

Kelly gave both her lovers a kiss and then straddled Todd easily sliding his
cock into her hot cunt.  Her eyes closed with bliss as she pressed herself
all the way down till their pubic hair meshed.

Kelly rode Todd slowly.  She placed her hands on either side of him and
kneeling, used her pelvis to slide as far off his cock as she dared before
she bore back down in a mighty thrust.  Todd was good and hard and having
come twice earlier in the evening could hold out longer though Kelly was
every bit as tight as Laura.  Kelly rippled her internal muscles, massaging
his cock while at the same time hitting every nerve in her vaginal canal.
It felt so good!

Todd thought he could hold out longer, but what Kelly was doing to him was
magic and he started thrusting back at her meeting her stroke for stroke.
He felt the end of his cock bouncing on her cervix and from the look in
Kelly's eyes and the color of her breasts, he knew that she was close to
coming.  He grabbed her hips and on each down stroke she made he ground his
pelvic bone against her clit until finally with yelp, she was over the top
riding a long climax.  Two strokes later, and his hot seed was filling her
up to overflowing.

Panting, Kelly collapsed on Todd and they kissed gently before Kelly rolled
off.  She was about to reach for the tissues when Laura stopped her.

"Let me do it," Laura said, a lustful look in her eyes.

Holding one hand on Kelly's filled cunt and her thumb gently stroking
Kelly's clit, Laura first licked Todd clean, sucking his deflating cock all
the way into her mouth and using the broadside of her tongue to get all
traces of Kelly and his cum off.  Satisfied that Todd was now clean, she
scooted down the bed and put her head between Kelly's legs.  First she
licked the combined cum and juices off her hand and then stuck her tongue
into Kelly scooping out everything she could get.  The taste of Todd was
everywhere and she started to slurp Kelly like she couldn't get enough.
With her one hand she kept Kelly spread open and used her thumb to keep
beating out a primal rhythm on Kelly's clit while her other hand was up
toying with Kelly's breasts.

Soon Kelly was on the verge of another orgasm and Laura shifted herself so
she could raise Kelly's legs and tilt her vulva before diving in to finish
her lover off properly.

The groan of satisfaction escaped from Kelly's mouth as her hands reached
down pulling Laura harder against her cunt.

"My God," Kelly finally managed to get out as she pulled Laura into her
arms, kissing her all over her face and adding some deep soulful kisses as
well.  "Now I know you've been heaven sent."

All three of them cuddled together and after a few minutes of goodnight
kisses they were fast asleep.

     ~~~~~ // ~~~~~

After Kelly had left, Cara had turned to Ami.  "Did you notice that Kelly
wasn't wearing panties?"

"Yeah," said Ami with a smile.  "I'm really going to like living here."

They put away their books and turned off the lights after they crawled in
under the sheets.

"So?" said Ami.  "Are you going to tell me the rest of your experiences with
Josh?"

"Yeah, I suppose.  After I let him at my boobs, such as they were, he
started to try to get farther.  I was pretty curious myself, but it seems
that nothing went right.  The first night he got his hands into my pants he
tried to drive a finger right into me.  I wasn't even turned on or wet
enough.  He talked me out of my pants saying he was going to give me a real
treat, so I let him."

"And?" Ami encouraged.  "Was it a treat?"

"Hah.  He was going to eat me out he said.  Of course I had heard about this
from the other girls and I figured this was one thing he couldn't screw up,
but he managed to anyway.  In all his attempts at licking me, he never once
got near my clit, and I doubt if he even knew I had one.  All he did was
lick at my pubic hair way above my vagina.  I tried telling him that he was
off the mark, but all he did was complain about hair in his mouth and he
kept trying to spit it out."

"So why did you continue?"

"I guess because a lot of the girls in our group had boyfriends and they had
gone all the way, and I didn't want to deal with the thoughts I was having
about the other girls who seemed so happy with each other."

"Did you have those thoughts too?" Ami asked.  "I thought I was the only
one."

"Did you ever notice that when we went to a meet there were some girls who
always shared the same room?  I envied those girls, but I didn't want to
become one.  I was taught that it was wrong, so I settled for Josh.  I was
going to become a woman with him.  The last time we were together, he
brought a condom along.  He was telling me that the first time for a girl is
never good so not to expect too much since he was going to pop my cherry.  I
didn't bother telling him there are few gymnasts who have an intact hymen,
but when he shoved it in me, god did it hurt.  Even the lube on the condom
didn't help and after a couple of strokes I finally pushed him off of me.
He got all pissed and started telling me how much he had done for me and I
hadn't even given him head.  He tried to push my head down to his dick, but
he forgot that I worked out every day.  I finally relented and gave him a
hand job.  After that he started to brag to all his friends about how he was
the one who popped my cherry and that only he could make it with the ice
queen.  I was never so happy to see summer vacation come to an end."

Ami reached over and hugged Cara.  "You poor baby.  How can guys be so
cruel?  They screw everything they can and they're called studs, but if we
indulge in some sex play, we're called sluts and tramps.  I'm never going to
let a guy get his hands on me."

Cara sat up.  "Are you one of those girls?"

Ami was slow in answering.  "I don't know.  I mean I'm not sure.  But when I
saw Laura in just her panties in the hall, I just got so hot.  But I do know
that no man is ever going to touch me, even if I have to remain a virgin all
my life.  They just don't turn me on.  Like Todd, he's a real nice guy, but
he doesn't do anything for me.  It was the same with Erin's brother.  He's
nice but he doesn't give me the same feelings that I get when I look at
girls.  But don't worry, I'm not going to molest you!"

"What a pity," said Cara.  "You don't know what you're missing.  I might not
be as beautiful as Kelly or Laura, but I'm available."

"Don't joke about this Cara.  It might be as disappointing to you as Josh
was."

"No girl could ever be that bad."

"How do you know?"

"Because girls understand girls."

"Hmm... You've got a point, but be careful of what you wish for.  You might
just end up getting it.  Maybe you should think about it for a while."

"Yeah, maybe you're right.  Good night Ami."

"Good night Cara."

The two girls turned so their backs were to each other.  After a while, Ami
was still awake and hearing a steady breathing coming from Cara, slowly
slipped her hand down to her vagina and gave herself a satisfying orgasm.

Cara had been waiting for Ami to fall asleep so she could do the same thing,
and was surprised that Ami had just done what she was planning to do.
Finally Ami started to softly snore and with thoughts of Laura and Kelly and
their special relationship, and Ami's admission to having thoughts about
girls, Cara very quietly moved her hand down to her own vagina.
