Jax looked up seeing the couple slowly walk into the kitchen. "Something about the Sierra Mountain air does that to every couple that's been up here. I've been told, couples that were down to making love once a month were engaged three or more times a night."
Christie blushed and Ed busied himself getting coffee.
"I'm sorry, I embarrassed you. Look, I've been hearing confessions and I know how couples get excited and frankly, I'd be upset if you didn't find joy with each other while being my guests under my roof." Jax grinned. "This is God's gift to each other. You are worshiping our Lord in the purest sense with every act."
Christie sat down and thanked Ed when he handed her a cup of coffee and smiled at the huge man across the table. "I know what you mean. The air up here does something inside you. Ed did have a hard time getting to sleep but we managed to work it out." She giggled. "I...we want to thank you for inviting us up here. It is so beautiful. What's the plan for today?"
Jax allowed Ed to refill his coffee and when the other man sat down, suggested they drive over to Tahoe. "I like the town, though it isn't what it was 40 years ago. Also, perhaps you might need to pick up some things if you need them."
Christie blushed and glanced quickly at the smiling Ed. "I'm not sure we need anything more than we brought. But I for one have never been to Tahoe, so I'd love to see it. I hear the lake is a beautiful turquoise blue and you can see way down."
"It is and the way the mountains rise up around it is inspiring." Jax said, "I feel closer to God there than just about anywhere I've been. That is why I have this place here. "There they are. How did you boys sleep?" Jax said seeing the three young blond boys enter the kitchen. "There's coffee and you know where the cups are."
Rick (or was it Jimmy?) sat down next to Christie and the other two sat across from her. Ed watched them studying her between sips of coffee and felt a twinge of jealousy. He stood and said he was heading back to the room to shower and get ready to go into town. He looked down at his wife and asked if she were coming.
"No, I think I'll have another cup. I cannot imagine why but I feel like I didn't get much sleep last night," she said grinning up at her husband.
She looked at the three boys, "Ok, I apologize, but you're Rick, you're Jimmy and you are Mike?" She asked looking around the table, "Are you all related?"
Rick turned to face her, "I'm impressed you got our names right, but no. We never met until about a month ago when we were granted scholarships by the Jackson Ministries. There were quite a few of us, but for some reason, the three of us hit it off and have been friends ever since." Rick looked up as Jax stood and excused himself, "Are you leaving?"
Jax smiled down at the boys, "I'm afraid I need to shower and get ready also." He grinned at Christie, "If they make you feel uncomfortable, tell them. They've not experienced a woman like you before." He winked and left.
Christie looked at the boys, "What did he mean by that? Good-looking boys like you should have experienced a lot of women." She blushed, "Sorry, that is really none of my business."
Mike laughed, "It's fine. Yes, we are all three virgins. Perhaps that is why we were drawn to each other. Frankly, a lot of our future brethren have been, um, how can I say it. They've been collecting experiences for future lost times."
Rick chuckled, "We've been with girls, but just never...you know. But Reverend Jackson is right, we've never been with anyone quite like you. You are so beautiful." He blushed and stood up. "Sorry, I need to get ready also."
Mike jumped up and sat next to the stunning blonde, "I think Rick just blurts out the first thing that pops into his head, but he is right. Can I ask you something?"
Christie felt herself blushing furiously, and eagerly allowed the subject to change, "Sure, you can ask me anything."
Mike looked uncertain, "Well, I'm just wondering. Did you save yourself for marriage? Or...I'm sorry. I shouldn't be asking you something so personal."
Christie patted his leg, "Yes I did. I just felt that sex, or actually intercourse...fucking, wasn't something recreational, but an extension of love. I'm not sure if I intentionally saved myself, you know, I might have fallen in love earlier with someone else, but it worked out like that. The first man I fell in love with was Do...Ed." She stammered. "Ed was the first man who I totally gave myself to.
Jimmy piped in missing her stutter, "Was it worth it?" He looked at Mike, "I mean, well, I guess we've been saving ourselves..."
Christie looked at the two boys, "You're asking me if you should get laid? Isn't that something you should ask Jax?"
"I sort of wanted to know from a female perspective...I don't know how to say this." Mike sputtered.
Jimmy blurted out, "He wants to know if girls feel cheap and used, you know, getting laid out of wedlock just for our pleasure."
The young blonde laughed, "You really aren't that experienced. Girls have the same needs you do. We get horny. We check out the guys, you think we cannot tell when a man is excited to see us? We like a great ass and nice package, we look at you just like you've been staring at my chest and up my dress on the plane." She laughed as they looked abashed. "It's fine, it's fine. It's nice to be noticed. Do you think I dress like this accidentally? Girls like to be pleasured as much as guys do. Girls need to be pleasured as often too. You're doing as much for them as they are for you, as long as you're not selfish, so don't worry about it." She looked at the two grinning boys who took notice that her blasted nipples decided to poke out as she was telling them this. She stood and patted Mike on the shoulder, "On that note, I'm going to go see if my husband is ready and perhaps get ready myself."

After walking down to the lake, Ed and Christie headed toward the town. Jax and the boys were taking a boat out fishing, but neither Ed nor Christie wanted to fish, so they decided to find a café.
Christie heard her phone, "Doug, sweetie...Yes, Ed and I are in Tahoe and looking for a place to eat...They're out on the lake fishing...Sure you would, but sitting and doing nothing isn't for me...Sure," She handed the phone to Ed, "He wants to say hi."
"Hey, Doug. Can I tell you again how sorry I am this worked out like it did...No, she's been terrific. She is a hit with the other four men...I know, I've seen their reaction...What? Of course...You have no idea...never mind, I'm sure you do...Yes...um, actually Christie wants to talk to you." He handed the phone back to Christie, his face red.
"Hey sweetie, what did you say to Ed, he looks kind of flustered...you said that?...look, you basically told me to." She looked at Ed, "Really?...you are a strange man...ok...ok...ok. Of course...I love you too." She hung up and looked at Ed. "I cannot believe he asked you that."
"I know, I had no idea what to say. I am so embarrassed I couldn't control myself." Ed asked, "I need to take a cold shower before we get into bed."
Christie laughed, "And then you'd be shivering under the covers and I'll have to snuggle up to you to keep you warm. Let me know how you think that will turn out, Einstein."
Ed looked at her and saw that he'd better drop the subject. He wondered about Doug's comments and how Christie had given him a hand job. "Christie, let's grab a table at the diner over there. I am really hungry."
After they sat down, Ed noticed a pharmacy across the street and excused himself. When he got back to the table, Christie looked at the bag.
"What's that? I thought we had everything we needed."
Ed started blushing and put the bag on the floor. "Nothing, it's you know, just something to help me sleep."
Christie reached down, grabbed the bag, and looked. She glared at Ed. "Really? You seriously expect me to...God! Men! I assume I should just resign myself to having you take me every night?" She glared at Ed.
"I'm sorry, I just...Oh, Christ! I wasn't expecting anything. I just didn't want to be unprepared if, you know...Fuck! I'm sorry. I might have been fantasizing...hoping." He looked around at the other tables suddenly more interested in their conversation than their own. "I can return these," he said softly.
Christie's face softened, "We never talked about it this morning, but perhaps we should now." She looked around and saw the various people looking their way, "Though perhaps we should sit by the lake where there are fewer ears."
Ed sat a few feet from Christie on the sand, clutching his paper bag. "Look, I'm sorry. I should not have assumed anything. You're married and I'm not going to do anything to compromise that. Doug's a great guy and I'm sure he just thought jerking me off was all he expected." He looked at Christie, "God, it was nice. That was actually more erotic than pretty much every fuck I've had."
Christie smiled, "To be honest, I'm just as horny as you are. I just don't raise a flag pole announcing it." She giggled hearing Ed sputter out a laugh, "Ok, bad metaphor. But I've thought about it. I've thought about letting you take care of me also." She reached out and looked in the bag again, "24 pack? Exactly how prepared do you want to be?" She read the box, "Textured for her pleasure." She held it up, "You realize these don't do much. I've never noticed the ribs, dots, or whatever, but I can't say I've tried them all." She reached her hand, pulled Ed closer, and put her arm around him. "But thanks. Not sure we'll be using these but being prepared is better than not...God, what is that look?" she laughed, "But it means a lot that you got something with my pleasure in mind. That and you wouldn't let me down if I just got too damn horny. I should wait until I get home but if I just can't take it anymore having protection on hand isn't a bad thing," she said softly.
Ed grinned, "I told you I wouldn't do anything. I'm not going to try to seduce you, but if you happen to lose your panties and need a cock inside you, I'll have these ready. I'd never want to let you down."
