Chapter 8. Trial by the Teasers
As they were walking out to the driveway, Kari tossed Jake the keys and said, "I think you should drive now, so you get used to my car and so you remember the way back. You know, just in case I have too much to drink."
They drove over to pick up Maria, and Kari deliberately moved to the back seat so that Maria sat in front with Jake. As Kari had predicted, she wasn't wearing her bikini, but a spaghetti strap top with no bra and short shorts. Kari noticed that Maria was already turned on – her nipples were protruding visibly through her top, and she barely remembered to say hi to Kari. Kari almost laughed out loud as they drove the last few blocks to Nicky's, as Maria kept glancing over at Jake while trying not to be obvious about it. No question about it, she was lusting for Jake in a big way.
They were the first to arrive at Nicky's, besides her boyfriend Rick who had helped her set up. Nicky's mother and her younger brother Theo were both out with friends that day and wouldn't be back till late. Already in her white bikini, Nicky was even more beautiful than Jake remembered from her photo earlier – her body was tan and perfectly proportioned, and the thong bottoms did little to cover her smooth tight butt. Even though she was "already taken", Jake couldn't help but look her over, but she just gave him a sexy smile when he finally met her eyes.
"It's great to have you here, Jake," Nicky said warmly as she shook his hand, "I'm so glad Kari thought to invite you." Kari explained to Nicky that Jake had the music, and Nicky showed them over to the sound system, and then left them to help Rick with something. Maria ran off to put on her bikini.
While Jake plugged in, Kari spoke quietly, "OK, when she comes back, remember to say something – she'll be looking for a reaction. Plus, I'm going to take it another step. I'm going to innocently ask to take a picture of the two of you, and I want you to put your arm around her. Put your hand as close to her breast as you can manage without being obvious. Oh, and quick, take off your shirt now, before she comes back." Picking a mix that started mellow but built up to some irresistible dance music, Jake started the music at low volume. "Great! Now, let's go back by the pool to wait for her."
They didn't have long to wait. Maria came out of the house, spotted them and walked slowly over. Jake was grateful both for Kari's advance notice and for his mirrored shades that let him stare at Maria's body without her knowing. She was wearing a bright blue bikini: the bra had very small cups that highlighted her firm tits and the thin material did little to hide her nipples which were once again hard and protruding. It had very long tie straps that Maria had wrapped around her midsection in a criss-cross, evoking a "tied-up" look that was very sexy. Finally, the bikini bottoms were not quite a thong, as a little material still covered her ass, but had a very noticeable V-dip in the center of the front, as if to draw one's attention to her pussy. And then he realized it would be more provocative if he let her see him look at her body – after all, that was exactly what she was after.
When Maria came to a stop in front of them, Kari offered, "Wow, nice suit Maria. Don't you think so, Jake?"
"Yeah, very nice," Jake said smiling, "although nice isn't the first word that pops into my mind. Is it just me, or did it suddenly get about 10 degrees hotter?"
Maria actually blushed and said nothing.
That's a first,
thought Kari,
you've got her, Jake, come on, don't stop now.
As if Jake could hear her thoughts, Jake pulled his sunglasses down his nose and peered over them, pointedly examining Maria from head to toe as he walked around her. She was starting to squirm under his gaze, and Kari thought she was close to bolting when he stopped in front of her once more, and slid his glasses back up.
"You know, Maria, you look so good in that bikini that you
make it hard for me
..." Jake said, deliberately emphasizing the last words and pausing so that Maria might think about what was getting hard for Jake, "to decide whether I'd rather see you in the bikini ..." another pause, "or out of it."
Oh Chris, that was perfect!,
Kari thought, looking at Maria's face,
she might just strip right now to show him.
Maria was on fire: her heart was pounding, her clit was throbbing, and she knew she would explode with just one touch. She struggled to regain some composure, "Mmmm, just let me know when you decide. And I'll let you know when I've decided the same about you, although I already have a pretty good idea."
"Hey, I want to get a photo of you two, before everyone arrives. Stay here, I'll get my camera."
"Wait Kari! Ummm ... I'll come with you," Maria said suddenly, "I need a drink."
As he watched Kari and Maria walk away, Jake wondered whether he'd handled it OK. Suddenly, he noticed Kari putting her hand behind her back and giving him a big "thumbs up" signal.
As they walked into the house, Maria exclaimed breathlessly, "Jeezus fuckin' christ, Kari. What am I going to do? I almost ...ummm ... melted down there, when he said that last part. He's like a, well, like a PS 10 or something."
At this, Kari laughed out loud. "A PS 10? I thought the scale only went to 5." They hadn't used the PS scale since high school – PS was code for "panty soaker". Guys were rated from 1 to 5, based on how wet their panties were after making out with the guy.
"Yeah, well, Jake wasn't around when we made up the scale, was he?"
"No, he wasn't, that's true. And I guess I'd agree that he's the first 10 I've ever met. And you haven't even seen the best parts yet!"
"Oh God, Kari. Don't do that to me. Shit, I've gotta to go ... to the bathroom, I'll be back in a minute."
Kari giggled, "Have fun in there!"
Maria shot her a murderous look, and turned away to go to the bathroom. As soon as she had gone in, Kari hustled to get her cell phone and then returned silently to wait by the bathroom door, listening.
After locking the door behind her, Maria had pulled down her bottoms and grabbed a handful of tissue, intending to dry herself as best she could so she didn't soak through and embarrass herself in front of her friends. She squatted in front of the wall mirror, so that her legs were spread open. Her clit and her labia were both swollen, and her juices were now oozing from her opening. She dabbed at herself with the tissue, and she gave a little gasp at the shock of pleasure that hit her when the tissue brushed her clit.
Dammit, I've got to get some relief or I'm not gonna make it out there.
She took a deep breath, closed to eyes and pictured Jake, and slowly slid her middle finger into her wet slit.
"Ahhhhh" she moaned loudly. Outside the door, Kari smiled, knowing she had guessed correctly, and feeling her own arousal build as she visualized her friend beyond the door. She hit "voice record" on her phone and held it close to the door, watching down the hallway carefully for anyone approaching.
Maria slowly withdrew her finger, now very wet, and gently spread the wetness on and around her clit, breathing in sharply as waves of pleasure swept over her.
God, I'm so close.
She spread her two fingers on either side of her swollen clit, and slid them back and forth, dipping a little between her pussy lips on the downstroke, and pulling the hood back on the upstroke, but not directly touching the supersensitive flesh. In less than a minute she felt the climax building, and she moved to her clit, rubbing it furiously, imagining Jake fucking her with a giant cock.
"Ohhhh god JAKE! UHHHHNNN" she cried out as the orgasm hit her hard. Kari had no trouble hearing Maria's cry, and knew exactly what it meant, the idea making her own pussy tingle deliciously. She quickly moved away from the door, grateful that no one had seen her standing there. She quickly peeled off her outer clothes and stuffed them in her bag, and then returned to Jake wearing her white one-piece suit and with the cell phone in her hand.
"Congratulations, that was perfect!" Kari told him, "Just so you realize how good you were – I just listened to Maria in the bathroom. You got her so hot and bothered she had to get herself off, and she was fantasizing about you."
Jake stared at her, dumbfounded. "B-b-but, how do you know that?"
Kari's grin got even wider, "Well, she wasn't too quiet when she moaned your name as she came. Here, you can listen for yourself."
She hit the replay on the voice record, then gave it to Jake to listen to. For 30 seconds or so, he didn't hear much besides the music in the background, then could very clearly hear Maria's passionately cry out his name as she climaxed. He handed the phone back to Kari, wordlessly. He was stunned.
Kari continued, "It'll take her a couple of minutes to get herself together after that. And I know her, she gets hot quickly, and she cools off quickly too. So, we'll use the photo taking as an opportunity to keep her going, OK? I don't know about you, but I am LOVIN' this arrangement of ours! I'd like to see if we can get some of the other girls so hot that they will do the same – what do you think, I can help you if you want to try?"
Jake was dazed and felt he was on another planet, but said, "Sure. Whatever you say Kari."
Kari looked thoughtfully at him, "Hey – I realize this is happening awfully fast for you. What can I do to help you?"
Jake remembered Jerry Zhong's advice at the party: it was what ... less than a week ago although it seemed a lifetime. "Thanks Kari – you reminded me of a friend who recently helped me when I was really nervous. I'm going to do a breathing technique that helps me get centered – it only takes a few seconds." Jake sat down in a nearby chair, closed his eyes, and cleared his mind as he breathed slowly and deeply.
Nicky looked at the window at Kari and Jake and wondered if she had done the right thing. This was definitely turning out to be a different kind of party than she had expected – she had been looking forward to hanging out with her girlfriends, just chillin' and talkin'. Rick didn't affect that, he was cool with her friends, and none of the others were bringing dates this year. Right after she had left Kari and Jake, though, she had called the others, first Becca, then Maddy, then Beth, and finally Amber.
The message to each was the same: Kari had brought her cousin Jake to the party, and he was really hot. She also mentioned that Maria had a new bikini, apparently for Jake's benefit, and it was really skanky. No one questioned why Maria might know about Jake when they didn't – everyone knew how close Maria and Kari were. Furthermore, none of them thought to question Nicky's opinion – she was really picky, and if she made a point of calling them to say that Jake was hot, then he was smokin'. With this information, every one of them changed their minds about the suit they had decided to wear, and went with the sexiest bikini that they owned.
