Chapter 31
I had to admit, the members of my harem looked so... damn... good in their swimwear. Not all of them wore bikinis, but with the amount of time that Tina spent working with the girls, doing yoga, cycling, weights, and other exercises had worked them all into beach-worthy shape. Debbie had made the biggest changes, having lost over a hundred pounds since she started working with Tina.
I sat on the edge watching all the girls play, either sexy in the slight mystery of hiding under the water, making my mind flash back to all our erotic encounters, or jiggling and bouncing in all the best ways above the water.
The frosted glass of the ceiling over the pool, giving natural light to the swimming and playing beauties, while protecting us from potential peeping. I knew the girls were all nervous about the fact that a drone might try and slip in at any time. Parker and the security team had countermeasures, but it only took a second to ruin everything.
Courtney and Sarah emerged from the changing room. A second of seriousness in their expressions told me they had been talking about something more than what games they wanted to play, and I was sure if it was relevant, I'd be let in on it later.
Courtney went to one of the cabinets, pulled out a beach ball and blew it up before tossing it into the water to Tina.
"Keep it up!" Courtney called and jumped in. "Don't let it touch the water! If you do, we kick the last person who touched it, or the person who missed it! Whoever's fault it was!"
"What do you get for winning?" Cindy laughed.
"Ah... I'll figure out something when we get down to like... five people." Courtney mused. "But I'll make sure it's something you want!"
That got the girls excited. They were jumping, diving and pushing to really make sure that beach ball hit the water. I just sat back and smiled, damn, that was so hot to watch.
Suki, in her red bikini, was the first to get out, accidentally knocking the beach ball clear outside the pool and into the sitting area.
"Ah, man..." Cindy groaned.
While everyone else was mature enough to not say it, the agreement was on their faces. The worst part of swimming was getting in for the first time, and any time you had to get out of the water. The air in the pool area always felt cold and miserable, and while getting back in wasn't so bad, just staying in the water was preferable.
I went to stand up, but someone beat me to it.
"I GOT IT!" Mary called, and lifted herself out of the water. The eighteen-year-old was the youngest girl here, and the only one not wearing a bikini. That didn't mean the skin-tight one-piece didn't make her look great, her athletic legs leading up to a nice, tight, little butt. She wasn't incredibly busty, but the top clung to her enough that her breasts were complimented nicely as she ran over, grabbed the ball and ran back, tossing the ball to Sarah before jumping back in.
"It's getting to be kinda nice, having Mary around," Suki admitted. "Don't even have to ask if someone's willing to help anymore, she jumps up and does whatever it is... though, sometimes it feels a bit like we're taking advantage. Everyone knows she's on probation, and let's be honest, Ali enjoys having someone waiting on her hand and foot... which is funny, considering how much she complained about it with her family..."
I chuckled. It was true. Ali did complain about how overbearing her family had been, and how she'd been spoon-fed everything in life... But I think it was more the objection to her parents trying to mold her into what "they" wanted her to be, instead of letting her be herself.
Cindy was next to be eliminated, being just too slow to reach what everyone agreed was a reachable volley. She came over and joined me and Suki.
"Damn it, it had to be volleyball." She grumbled. "Why couldn't it be water soccer? I'm good at soccer."
"What would that be? Water polo?" Suki mused.
"I don't know..." Cindy grumbled. "I'm getting in the hot tub. The air is too cold in here."
"Fuck!" Abby groaned, as the beach ball went flying.
"I got it!" Mary volunteered again, and went running.
And so it went, one by one the girls got out, until it was Tina, Sarah, Khloe, Taylor and Mary. I could tell Tina was just being competitive at this point. Sarah had the benefit of being the tallest girl in the harem, and those long arms and legs were a real advantage here. Khloe seemed to be going purely on the drive to see what her reward would be, and Taylor seemed to have just been lucky.
"Do you think Mary noticed we're throwing for her?" Courtney whispered in my ear as she scooted closer to me, watching as Mary once more retrieved the beach ball and returned to the pool.
"You're what?" I whispered back.
"Oh, come on." She giggled back. "You know that the reward is gonna be something sexual. The girls and I can get whatever we want from you whenever we want. This gives Mary a way to get a little something."
"I thought she wasn't allowed full harem privileges until her probation was over?" I mused.
"Oh, absolutely. Your dick isn't going in her pussy until she's proved she isn't going to try and pull any of that nonsense again." Courtney assured me. "But... like, none of the girls had any issues with you eating her out on the plane, so... she can probably have a little something as a reward if she convinces the others to all throw for her."
I looked at her again, and watched more carefully. Mary was the youngest, the shortest, and frankly was already getting tired. She hadn't had the time to work with Tina to build up her physical fitness and endurance, so if the girls had wanted to, they probably could have put the ball exactly where she'd be too slow to reach it, but they weren't.
"How did everyone know it was going to be a sex thing?" I asked, and Courtney laughed and leaned her head on my shoulder, grabbing my arm.
"Oh, Tom... we're not a bunch of kids anymore. Adult rewards are money, food, or sex. I suppose it could be a money reward, but since everyone has free food and a place to live, both money and food are less appealing. So of course it was going to be a sex thing." Courtney chided.
I wasn't really sure what to make of that. I could think of a few other things that would be rewards, prizes like tools for hobbies, getaways or vacations, and the like, but since those were all basically just cash prizes where the cash was already spent for you.
"You think she'll get it?" I asked.
"I don't know." Courtney admitted. "Khloe was pretty mad about her trying to break up our family like she did, and Tina is just competitive. Sarah's probably gonna just let her win if it's between the two of them... Let's give them some encouragement."
Courtney let go of my arm and stood up.
"Hey, before you get going again... why don't we propose prizes for the winner?" Courtney suggested.
"Okay, sweet." The girls accepted.
Courtney put a finger on her chin. "Let's see... I don't see all of you wanting one single thing... so a unique reward for whoever wins?"
The girls all, still in the running or otherwise, cheered for that.
"So let's see... Taylor... I guess you get to run a photoshoot with anyone you want from the harem, and Tom, of course. Your script. No wimping out." Courtney gave a look around. "Agreed?"
Abby was the last to agree, and she squirmed a bit, but eventually she conceded.
"Alright, Taylor gets a no holes barred photoshoot-" Courtney noted.
