"Yuck."
"Some of them had really nice bodies. So the beach is crowded enough that there's no privacy, hard enough to find a spot where you aren't on someone's blanket. But no sex, it wasn't like the beaches here. People were just lying in the sun, maybe reading a book or something."
"Sounds really boring."
"Maybe. So we find a spot, and of course my parents take their bathing suits off right away. I'm sitting on the sand and my father is standing there in front of me, looking around, not paying a bit of attention to me, with his prick dangling less than a meter from my face. Then Rocco takes off his suit, it was the first time I ever saw him naked, and he's standing next to my father and they're talking about the boats or something. There were some cigar boats going by just beyond the beach, just like on the show. Then they go out in the water. I didn't know whether to feel relieved or pissed that they were totally ignoring me."
"And?" Rachel was staring at the controls, wondering what Don Johnson would do.
"Well my mother went out to join them. So I'm sitting there by myself, thinking, maybe I'll just keep the bathing suit on and go out and swim. But I know I'm going to get teased until the end of time if I do that. So I took off the top. Still sitting down. I took off the top and sort of hunched over so you really couldn't see my boobs. Then I took slid off the bottom, still sitting on the sand, keeping my legs together so you really couldn't see anything. Then after a minute or so I got up and ran into the water and dove into it right away. I went out to where my family was. The water was beautiful, so much warmer than it is here. Very clear, too. My father was snuggling up to my mother, in the water, and I could see he had a huge erection. I guess that was okay, out in the water. There were other people doing the same thing. And Rocco was sort of playing with himself. There were a couple of guys standing in the water, fucking, well I had no idea what it was they were doing but now I do. All I knew then was that one guy was behind the other, right behind him, belly to back, and that guy's prick was not visible, but the one in front had a big hard-on and a look of bliss on his face. And Rocco was looking at them, not my parents."
"And?" Rachel was looking at the controls for the boat. Steering wheel, just like a car. No gas pedal, instead a lever to control the engine speed. No brakes, of course. Okay, there was other stuff, a screen with a map on it that might be useful later, some sort of radio. If there was a later.
"God help me," she sighed. The phone still in her pocket was buzzing. She looked at it to see a text message.
<What assistance do you require?>
Her thumbs were flying as she texted back.
<Who the fuck are you? Some sort of robot? One of Nestor's little bots?>
<My code name is Borg.>
<Like the tennis player? No, like Star Trek! Are you going to tell me resistance is futile?>
<Not at all.>
Beatrice was continuing her story. "So after a few minutes I decided this was really boring and I went back up on the beach. I went back up on the beach and a lot of people were staring at me and I liked it."
"No wonder, you're so beautiful."
<I'm in the lifeboat for the Luxor. The one that slides into the water. They're coming to chase us with a cigar boat. Really fast. With a battering ram on the front of it. What do I do?>
<You should be able to turn more quickly.>
"You should have seen me then. I'm old and fat now. Anyway, I walked around the beach so everybody could get a look at me, and then the rest came back out of the water and we went back to the hotel."
"That's quite a story." Rachel tested turning the wheel, pushing the throttle to change speed. She was staring at the latest message on the phone. Would that really work? Maybe, just maybe. It sounded like something Don Johnson would do. Except, wouldn't his sidekick be shooting at the pursuers?
"There's more to it. Rocco and I were sharing a room. At least it had two beds. Before he'd always been careful to change his clothes in the bathroom and wear something when he went to sleep. But that night he was just walking around the room naked. And always after that."
"Is that when you started to have sex?"
"No."
"Bea and I were taking tennis lessons," Risa said. "We were the second doubles pair on the girls team at the club. They had the showers curtained off but we started to shower together. We started off washing each other's backs, but then we were washing everything. One day Bea masturbated while I watched her. Then we started to do it together, and to touch each other. It was very exciting, daring to take the next step.
"Then one day our tennis coach came into the shower to join us."
