About the language and notation:

The Baylon language is a predecessor to Latin, which is why it looks like Latin at a glance.

Mental communication is denoted by a < and ends with a >, so a mental communication will look like this: "< Who are you? >"

Some warnings

:

This is erotic action adventure, meaning that there will be both sex and violence, but I don't mix the two.

Chapter 21 -- Beach Volley

Tuesday, 20th of June 2000, Outside Malaga, Spain

Despite the dream, I woke up feeling well rested.

Alice was still sleeping next to me, but the twins had apparently woken up even earlier and sneaked out, because we were the only ones in the bed.

Looking at the sleeping beauty next to me in the bed, I felt tempted to start some morning sex, but restrained myself. She needed sleep more than sex and I left the bed as carefully as possible, walked into the enormous master bathroom to clean myself and then to the kitchen.

Karen and Rita were already there, sitting by the table and eating breakfast, while reading on their laptops, but when I came in, Karen sent me a wide smile, followed by a "Good morning, Lover Boy. Slept well?"

I couldn't help smiling back, as I walked over to the kettle. "Good morning, Peach. Good morning, Angel... and both yes and no."

That caused them both to look up and while the tea was brewing, I told them about fixing Cyra and Zena's growing pains.

Karen smiled. "It's so cool you can help them."

Rita nodded in agreement. "I remember having growing pains myself... It really hurt a lot."

I walked over to the table with my tea and sat down beside Karen. "How good are you at acupuncture?"

She hesitated as she thought it over. "I honestly don't know. I mean... I grew up with it, but the only ones I can compare myself to are my family and they're outstanding." She tilted her head. "Why do you ask?"

"Because with the knowledge you have, you might be able to help the twins when you get home."

Her face lit up in a smile. "Really? That would be fantastic... but how?"

I searched for the modern word but didn't find it. "You can force the energy lines back to the right place, by applying pressure at the right points along the lines."

"Acupressure." Said the Asian with a nod. "I've done that."

"Good. Then I'll teach you how to do it later."

"Awesome!" She said with a grin and gave me kiss. As always, she tasted great and felt nice.

"My turn!" said Rita as soon as the kiss was over and with a smile, Karen sneaked a hand behind Rita's neck and dragged her in for a soft, tender kiss.

It was clearly a moment of affection and tenderness and I enjoyed the sight of two beautiful women kissing, while I silently drank my tea.

"Wow." Said Rita softly as their lips parted. "That was some kiss, girl."

"Likewise." Karen smiled and turned towards her breakfast again.

Since they could now speak again, I asked, "When does the beach volleyball start?"

"At nine." Answered Karen and looked at her computer screen before continuing. "But it's only half past seven now, so we got plenty of time."

"Good." I took an apple from the bowl on the table and took a bite. "Oh, by the way, where're the twins?"

"Upstairs, reading the Harry Potter nooks you bought them." Answered Rita. "They've already eaten breakfast, done their exercise and are ready to go see some beach volleyball."

"How good are you? At volleyball, I mean."

Rita sent me another smile. "Better than most, not as good as some of the players from the university here. At least not at beach volley. We normally play indoor volleyball and not beach volley."

I was sorely tempted to ask what the difference was, but didn't, since it sounded like everybody knew the difference between the two. Except me of course.

Karen nodded to what Rita had said and added, "We usually end in the upper half, but its lots of fun and good training."

"Sounds good." I remarked and drank the rest of my tea before I stood up. "I better go take a bath, before we leave."

When I reached the downstairs bathroom, it sounded like the shower was on.

With the twins being upstairs, and Karen and Rita in the kitchen, it could only be Alice, so I opened the door as silently as possible and walked inside.

It was her all right and through the frosted glass of the shower door, I could make out the shape of her body as she leaned back to wet her hair.

Smiling I undressed, slid the door of the shower open and stepped inside, enjoying the sight of her long trim body and delicious curves.

She heard the door slide open and opened her eyes with a smile. "Good morning, Sexy... and thanks for letting me sleep. I feel a lot better now."

I smiled back, said "Good morning yourself." and took the shampoo from the shelves.

As Alice watched in silence, I lathered up my hands.

She got the hint and switched off the water.

Then I began soaping her up slowly, starting with her neck, moving my way down her chest to her breasts. I took my time, continuing to lather them long after it was necessary. Then I continued down her body all the way to her feet, before going back up.

Alice moaned softly gave me a hug as she kissed me again.

Then she started to slide her body against mine in slow sensual moves, effective lathering me up, while using her body as a sponge. It was heaven.

With a gentle touch, she turned me around and then did the same with my backside, but now her hands caressed my chest, stomach, continuing down to my pelvis, before finally wrapping her soapy fingers around my hard cock, giving it a few strokes as she whispered. "Is that for me?"

"Oh yeah." I answered.

"Then I better make sure it's completely clean." She ran her fingers against the head of my cock, sending shivers down my spine.

Leaning back against her, I could feel her soft breasts against my back as she continued to stroke and tease me for a while, until she whispered. "I could tease you all day, but we don't have a lot of time. "

I turned around and kissed her. First tenderly, but it soon grew heated. She continued to stroke me and slide the palm of her hand over the head of my cock in a wonderful slippery motion.

My right hand worked its way down the front of her body, until I reached the strip of hair above her pussy.

Alice shivered and spread her legs, giving me room to play. She moaned as my fingers drew circles around her clitoris. Her grip on my cock tightened, and she began stroking me harder. We kissed again, this time harder, with more urgency, until she suddenly stopped.

"Wait!" She grimaced. "Too much soap."

Reaching behind, she started the water again and went back to kissing as the water rinsed the soap of our bodies. Then she let go of me and reached over my shoulder, retrieving the showerhead, before she dropped to her knees.

Holding my cock gently on her palm, she took her time rinsing me off. When she was sure all the soap was gone, she looked up into my eyes, winked and took me into her mouth. A groan escaped my lips, as I leaned back against the shower wall, feeling her talented mouth doing its magic.

I could have enjoyed it all day, but she stopped and handed me the showerhead with a smile as she stood up.

Pushing her against the wall, I rinsed her off, being careful to remove all the soap. She almost jumped when the spray reached her pussy. Smiling to myself, I first made sure that all soap was gone by using my fingers and then separated the pussy lips, so the spray could hit the fold over the clitoris directly.

"Oh fuck." She mumbled and leaned her head against the wall as she spread her legs a little further apart. Carefully I altered the spray by moving the showerhead slightly from side to side and it didn't take long before her legs were shaking as her groans increased.

When I thought she couldn't take much more, I removed the showerhead, slip to my knees and replaced the water with my tongue. Her hands found the back of my head and pressed my face into her, as my tongue found the head of the clitoris and flicked against it.

"Oh shit." She mumbled, and I could hear that she had trouble keeping herself from groaning loudly. A moment later, I made it even harder as I inserted two fingers in her wet pussy, sliding right over the pleasure spot inside her.

Her hips grinded against my mouth and her moans were becoming just a little bit louder.

My fingers began to massage her inside pleasure spot and timing it with the way I used my tongue, I went faster and faster.

The grinding of her hips became wilder and then she began to shudder and shake as her pussy contracted around my fingers. There was a slap as her hand hit her mouth to cover a yell as she came. I used my other hand to support her, so she didn't fall on the slick floor.

"Fuck, that... was... good."

I removed my fingers, stood up to kiss her and got an embrace in return, as she rested her head on my shoulder. Her breathing slowly returned to normal as I gently caressed her.

Then she lifted her head and kissed me again, but at the same time, she reached down between us, took a hold on my cock and guided it between her legs.

I got the hint, bended my knees a bit and slid into her wonderful, wet pussy in on stroke.

"Shit!" Alice groaned against my shoulder as I filled her. "I love your cock."

"And I love sharing pleasure with you." I whispered into her ear and slowly moved in and out of her. She moaned and lifted a leg to give easier access, before she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me with passion, as the muscles in her pussy squeezed me every time I started to pull back.

I used a hand to support myself against the wall, gripped her wonderful butt with the other and started to move faster and harder.

She started to shiver again and whispered. "I'm coming."

"Good." I answered with a smile and thrust harder.

Her eyes went wide, and she pressed her face against my chest, as she came with a low howl.

Instead of stopping, I leaned my head against the wall and reached down to grip her butt with the other hand as well.

She was still coming when I heaved her up and leaned her against the wall. Instinctively she wrapped her long leg around my waist and then yelped when the changed angle enabled me to go so deep in her, that my balls slapped against her.

"Love... it... when... you... do... that! So... fucking... good!" She moaned and rested her head against the wall, enjoying each stroke, until she came with a loud squeal through gritted teeth.

I didn't stop, but fucked her faster, loving every moment of it. The sight of her coming, the smell of her wet pussy and the feeling of both her skin and being balls deep in her.

"One more, my Golden Goddess." I told and kissed her soft lips.

She kissed back with a groan and then her legs clamped hard around me as she came again with a moan. Slowly, I decreased the pace until I stood still, kissing her, while her pussy gentle massaged my cock with its contractions and Vis flowed into me, washing my tiredness away.

Carefully Alice placed her shaking legs on the floor again, but she didn't let go of me right away.

Finally, she sighed. "We're out of time."

"I know." I said with a chuckle and picked up the showerhead, so that I could rinse the sweat of her body. "You need to go get ready, but thanks for the nice morning surprise."

Alice laughed her soft laughter. "Trust me... the pleasure was all mine."

------------

Two hours later, I was sitting on the beach in Malaga, along with many other people, watching Rita and Alice play volleyball in the sand. By listing to the women talk, I had gotten the impression that there at least six players on a volleyball team, but evidently Beach Volleyball was different, because each team consisted only of two players.

Rita and Alice were one team, while Karen had teamed up with a young Spanish woman named Nahia Ibarra, who had spent a year on Karen's high school in America, before going back to Spain to attend university in Malaga.

I had expected to be assigned the job of keeping an eye on Zena and Cyra, but that wasn't needed, since the Twins stayed in a secluded area that was 'female players only', giving me the opportunity to watch the games, which I did.

It was a lot of fun to watch, and it showed a side of the women, that I haven't seen before.

Normally they were quite relaxed, but on the playing field, they were full of energy, smiling widely and cheering each time they scored a point. A moment later, there was total concentration and focus, as they prepared for the next ball to be played. They clearly had a very good time.

Even to my untrained eyes, they were extremely good at Volleyball and I quickly discovered why they had such great bodies. Since the game involved a lot of crouching down to get the ball, explosive jumps and lateral movements, there was a lot of work for the leg and butt muscles, making them toned and firm. The rest of the body benefitted from the need to quickly stretch to block or hit and was almost as toned as the rest, without being overly muscular.

I smiled to myself, as I realized that the players had the same challenge as most martial artists and sword fighters like me: You needed to be strong and powerful, without sacrificing speed and agility, because loosing that would hamper your ability to move quickly. The fast pace and rapid changes in direction also required a great deal of flexibility in the body and since a game lasted around an hour, the players needed a lot of endurance, perhaps even more so than in a martial artist.

All that explained why the players were in excellent shape and as the game was played in the 'beach uniform' of shorts for the men and bikinis for the women, it was no wonder that the tournament had drawn a large crowd of spectators.

Some had come to watch Volleyball, but I was sure that at least some of the spectators were here to look at the players and not the game itself.

Not that I could blame them since I enjoyed looking at them as well. It also reminded me how much healthier and better-looking people of this age were. Sure, there had been stunningly beautiful women in the past, but the appearance of the average women had certainly improved over the centuries.

I watched the games and the women for some hours, before there was a break were none of the three women was playing. Since they didn't leave the player area, that gave me some time with not much to do, and I had just decided to go for a walk when the Twins came running over to me.

Both looked somewhat serious as Zena handed me a note from Karen, stating that her volleyball partner had hurt her back and asked if I would look at it.

With a grin, I shook my head and took my bag from the bench before I turned towards the Twins. "Okay... Show the way." I said to the waiting girls and followed as they bounced towards the player's tent.

The tent was bigger than any other tent I had ever seen and once inside, the twins practically dragged me over to Karen. The Asian was standing in a small room, having a conversation in rapid Spanish with a black-haired woman, who were laying on her stomach on a tall sofa that reminded me of the type used for massage in ancient time.

I recognized her as Nahia Ibarra, Karen's Volleyball partner and she had clearly been hurt, since there were some ice bags on her lower back. She was also still dressed in the bikini they used when playing, so I had no trouble determine that Nahia Ibarra's body was every bit as well trained as Karen's and she had a spectacular butt.

As soon as Karen saw me, she lit up in a smile and nodded in my direction, causing Nahia to turn her head and look at me as well.

Karen quickly introduced me and then said, "Ivan, we really, really need your help. Nahia hurt her back and can barely move."

"It's not that bad." Protested the Spanish girl in accented English, before I had the chance to answer. "The ice just needs some time to work."

Karen snorted and turned towards me. "While she was in California, she damaged her back and couldn't play for months... Can you check her and see what is wrong?"

Nahia rolled her eyes. "I told you... It's just a pinched nerve!"

"That's possible, but we have a game in an hour and if your pinched nerve doesn't get treated, we'll have to cancel!" Karen shot back. "Now can we get on with this?"

"Fine!"

While they were debating, I placed my bag next to the sofa. Cyra reached out and touched my arm as she sent. "< Can we help? >"

"< Sure >"

Karen fastened her lovely, slanted eyes on me and smiled. "Please Ivan?"

"Let it never be said that I refused to help two lovely ladies in need." I said as I smiled back and then turned towards Nahia. "I'll have to examine your back."

She nodded. "Just be careful."

As gently as possible, I removed the bags of ice from her back and examined the area. It didn't take long to determine that Nahia had been correct: It was indeed a pinched nerve.

However, unless something was done, it wasn't something that went away in an hour and the ice could only lessen the pain, not heal the nerve.

Glancing over at Cyra, I asked her to get my needles and the disinfecting liquid from my bag.

She nodded eagerly and opened the bag as Karen asked. "Seriously? You brought your acupuncture needles!?"

I chuckled. "Well... as competitive as you all are when it comes to sports, I guessed I would need them at some point today."

"Oh... Hot and smart." Mumbled Nahia in Spanish, making Karen look at her and nod with a grin.

I had gone back to examining her, but besides some overuse of the muscles, she was in excellent condition. "An hour you said?"

"More like forty-five minutes now." Said Karen. "Can it be done?"

"Well, I need to remove the pain, fix the nerve and then massage the area to remove the stiffness in the muscles, so yes, it's possible, if barely so."

"Yes!" Karen exclaimed and gave me a hug, followed by a kiss. "Thank you!"

The feel of her bikini-clad body made me shiver, but I broke the contact before it had an effect and winked at her. "Now, give me room to work, please."

Smiling, she took a step backwards. "Go ahead."

Assisted by Zena and Cyra, I inserted the needles and activated them, blocking the pain, before I used a combination of Ars Mentalis and physical manipulation to gently coach the pinched nerve back to its rightful place.

I also took a close look at the energy lines in her body and discovered that they had been affected by the old accident Karen had mentioned, creating a 'dam' that not only directed energy around her lower body and directly into her legs, but also kept some energy stored behind it.

While that might sound as a good thing for an athlete, it wasn't. Vis is meant to flow unhindered through the body and when it doesn't, the body doesn't function properly, and people tended to get irritated without knowing why, which led to frustration.

"I'm going to remove the needles now." I informed Nahia. "But I'm not done yet, so please don't move."

She didn't answer and when I looked closer at her, I discovered that she had fallen asleep.

Karen had discovered it as well and laughed softly. "Well, she did say that she hasn't sleep well lately. I guess the sleepless period is over now."

Nodding, I removed the needles and handed them to Zena and Cyra, who disinfected them and carefully placed them back in the casing, without being asked.
