Now that it was nearly time for her to rejoin her brother and Jarrad, Ashley was faced with the challenge of dressing in such a way as to regain their interest, while at the same time, not going so far as to lose control. It was also important to take into consideration that they would probably want to go swimming after dinner. The guys had sure liked her bikini, especially that flouncy top, and after adding a little wrap-around skirt, she decided it would fill the bill.
She stopped abruptly, upon stepping through the door between her bedroom and the backyard. At the outdoor table, there were
three
guys, not just the two she had been expecting. With the newcomer's back to her, Ashley could not make out who it was and considered that she might need to wear something more.
She reasoned though that Jarrad and her brother were at least hoping she would be dressed in something she would not likely wear in public and that they would not risk their hopes and desires for the evening to be wrecked by her discomfort at the presence of someone else. Further, if they harbored any fears about this, they would not have allowed the newcomer to stay, or at the very least would have warned her of his presence. She concluded that she was still dressed suitably and resumed the short trek to the table.
The newcomer turned at the sound of Ashley's approaching footsteps. She recognized him instantly. "George!" she exclaimed, "I thought you went home."
All three were now looking in Ashley's direction, satisfied that she had not gone 'nunnish' on them. "I uh, had," George stammered, "I uh, drove my own car back today... so I could finish my stay."
Ashley diverted her attention from George and toward Jarrad, trying to gage his acceptance of her attire. While attempting to make eye contact with Jarrad, Ashley said to George "And Jarrad invited you to join us. Cool!"
Failing eye contact with Jarrad, Ashley turned toward Brad, who also was assessing the situation. Brad looked up from his appraisal and noticed Ashley's eyes on his. "
Oh my God
," he mouthed, followed by a nod. Ashley grinned as she recognized his approval.
George continued talking, trying to appear oblivious to Ashley's manner of dress. He said something that caused her to turn her attention back to him. "Say it again, please," she requested.
"It was really your brother who insisted I come over." George was seated only two or three feet from where Ashley stood. He continued giving her a very deliberate elevator look.
Ashley turned and headed toward the house to get the fixings for their supper. As she did, all three stared. "You said she owed you a dance," Jarrad said to George, "Are you going to be upset if you don't get it."
"If I never get the dance, this trip will still have been worth it," George answered, his eyes still fixed on Ashley as she went through the door into the kitchen.
When she returned, all eyes again turned in her direction. She was bare from the waist up, except for the flouncy crop top suspended teasingly over her breasts by two tiny shoulder straps. It was the same one she had worn at the pool earlier, but now it was tied more like it had probably been
intended
to be tied, exposing an inch or so of
both
the upper and lower portions of her breasts.
Ashley set the uncooked steaks on the table, and then turned to George who still could not tear his eyes from her. "Will you please go to the kitchen and bring out the rest of the stuff. I left it sitting on the table."
George looked up and locked eyes with Ashley. "Oh yes ma'am, be happy to."
"Ashley... not ma'am," she corrected. "Oh, and by the way," she said as George again focused on the crop top, "I do like you looking. I'd be disappointed if you didn't."
George's eyes jerked upward again to hers, "Yes ma'am... er Ashley, thank you," he said as he turned for the house.
Dazzled by the expanse of bare flesh, Brad and Jarrad's eyes roamed over Ashley's body while she talked to George. When Ashley turned her attention toward them, she was flattered to see she still had their attention. "Of course that looking stuff goes for you two as well," she said. Disappointed, but not really surprised, that her words did not command the same attention as her body, she raised her voice, pointed to her face and shouted, "
Up here guys!
"
Jarrad and Brad reacted, almost in unison. "Huh..." they said looking up at Ashley's face.
"I really do love it that you guys want to look," she began patiently, "But there are other things of importance..."
"Name one," quipped Jarrad.
Ashley blushed as a wide grin spread across her face. "Well uh... uh... I need to know before he gets back - I'm okay with George being here if that's the plan." She looked at Jarrad -- he nodded. She looked at Brad -- he nodded also. "And he's staying the night?"
"Right," Brad confirmed.
"Yeah, and the way we had it worked out," Jarrad explained tongue in cheek, "Is that he would take the extra bed in Brad's room and I would sleep with you." He grinned as he looked at Brad, then back at Ashley.
Ashley chose to continue the game. "Sleep," she screeched in mock indignation, "If that's all you want to do you're going to have to find a different girl."
Jarrad knew he had been had and back-pedaled rapidly, "Uh, what I mean is -"
"We know what you mean," interrupted Ashley, "And you know it's not going to happen, so cut the shit and tell me what you're really planning."
"Well, uh, I guess he can -"
Brad jumped in, "We hadn't really thought all that much about it, but I guess he can stay in Mom and Dad's room." Not waiting for a reaction, he turned to putting the steaks on the grill. After she had finished eating, Ashley stood. Her movement attracted the attention of the others at the table. She wet her lips and glanced from one to another of them while arranging her dishes and silver in a neat stack in front of her. Lowering her eyes to the table, she picked up the stack and turned to the dish-tub on the ground behind her chair.
As Ashley stooped to put the dishes in the tub, she felt eyes boring into her backside. The wrap-around she was wearing didn't even reach mid-thigh when she was upright, but when she was bent over it barely covered her ass-cheeks, leaving the backs of her legs and thighs deliciously exposed. "Kicked the bottom out of that one didn't she," Jarrad remarked loudly. Seated to the right of where Ashley had been sitting, he had an unobstructed view as she bent to deposit the dishes.
George, who was sitting across the table from his cousin and to the left of Ashley's vacated chair, was similarly treated to the tempting sight. His eyes sparkled as he nodded his agreement.
Ashley's crop top was no longer playing its covering role. It hung loosely toward the ground, exposing her hardening nipples to the night air. She was quite sure no one could actually see them, at least she hoped not. The possibility, however slight, sent shivers through her body.
As she stood and turned back toward the table, her brother Brad's eyes locked on hers. She held his gaze as she sat down, trying to read his thoughts. "Sorry," he said, "I haven't been very good company -- not feeling up to par I guess."
"You want to go to your room, maybe lay down awhile?" she asked. Ashley held her breath, hoping her brother would not desert her. With what she was wearing, she did not want to be left alone with Jarrad and his cousin.
Jarrad waved his hand toward the house. "Yeah, go on," he said, "We'll be okay without you." "
For sure,
" he added silently to himself.
George's thoughts hearkened back to the previous morning and his pulse quickened at the thought of how wild Ashley might be if her brother wasn't there. "Yeah, do it!" he urged, "You need to take care of yourself."
Brad hadn't been able to eat much and was feeling somewhat queasy, but he wasn't going to leave Ashley alone with Jarrad and his cousin. "
My God
," he thought, "
Especially not the way she's dressed.
" Brad responded, "No, no, I'll be fine."
Ashley released the air she was holding in her lungs. Dressed as she was, she was already afraid she might have bitten off more than she could chew. Having her brother there to make sure things didn't get out of hand, was essential. "Put your dishes and garbage in the tub behind me. Someone needs to take it to the kitchen before the bugs get into it," she said in a forceful manner.
"I guess that will be me," Jarrad offered, sounding as if he were bravely volunteering for some dangerous mission, "Feast like this deserves proper payment."
"So does anybody have thoughts about what we should do for the rest of the evening," Ashley asked, "And, before anyone mentions it, you guys taking turns dancing with me is not an option."
