This is the beginning of a rather long series (Prolog, ten chapters, and an epilog). There is also a follow up series in the works, so if this is well received I hope to continue the development of the characters. This is not a quick "stroke story" but it is not a novel either. Each story will be branded with the 'theme' that best fits. Story elements will include mostly first-time, group sex, and romance.
Lastly I would like to thank 'Romantic1' for serving as my editor. Over the years I have enjoyed reading his stories and his Road Trip series is what inspired me to get back into writing.
High School: Zero to Hero - Prolog
July fourth between my junior and senior year was the day my life started to change. It was the night I can honestly say I became a man. Even though I had turned eighteen at the end of June, I didn't feel any different. Ashley managed to change that.
We were sitting out in a field watching the fireworks. The night had a gentle breeze which chilled the summer air. Ashley, clad in cutoff shorts and a tank top, shivered. Instinctively I wrapped my arms around her in an attempt to keep her warm. I didn't think anything of it. She seemed to appreciate the added body heat and nestled herself back into my lap and pulled my arms tight around her. Had it been any other girl than my cousin, it would have been a very romantic moment, at least that's what I thought.
I guess I should mention that Ashley isn't my cousin by birth. She is my step father's niece so our cousin status is only by name and not by blood. As I wrestled with this in my head, I thought back to how she has extended an offer for me to come work with her for the summer as a lifeguard at a posh mountain resort. I was a little surprised by her offer since we had little in common other than both being competitive swimmers. She was also a few years older than me, so we rarely had much to talk about during family gatherings. However, the pay was better than the job I had the previous summer, so I took it.
Apparently being 'cousins' wasn't an issue for Ashley. In the middle of the grand finale, she turned her head, leaned back and looked up at me. Expecting her to say something, I looked down at her. She looked into my eyes in a way I cannot really explain and then kissed me. My own cousin kissed me right on the lips. I sat there in shock, and passively accepted her kiss. After a few seconds, she stopped, and we watched the last few seconds of the grand finale.
Once everything was finished, we started our walk back to the staff cabin area. The resort we worked at was a lot like a country club expect it had more of a rustic feel, and people came to stay for weeks at a time. After a few steps, Ashley slipped her hand into mine, and we walked the rest of the way hand in hand. Since Ashley was senior staff she had her own cabin and thus a measure of privacy. In contrast, the cabin I shared with two other staff members sat in the middle of a cluster of smaller cabins.
"Steve," Ashley said turning to face me when we reached her cabin, "Can I ask you a personal question?"
"Sure." I said not really sure what she would want to know. I don't have anything to be ashamed of, well maybe kissing my cousin, but seeing as she was the one asking me, I didn't think I had to worry about that being too taboo.
"Are you a virgin?" She asked bluntly. Bluntly enough so that it caught me a little off guard.
"Uh. Yeah." I paused for a second, "I mean, I've kissed a girl. You know, other than you tonight, and fooled around a little. But never, you know, gone all the way." The most recent kisses I had gotten before Ashley were two of my high school friends Sarah and Jenn on the day of my eighteenth birthday. While there were no real romantic feelings, Jenn and I made out a little. Other than that I didn't have a whole lot of experience with women.
The light from the cabin's porch was casting a soft yellow glow on her face, and I could tell she was looking at me intently; so, in turn I looked back at her and gave her a quick once over.
She had on a pair of flip flops which showed off her dainty feet and cute toes topped off with a red, white, and blue nail polish pattern. Her legs were had an athlete's tone, and her short cutoffs accented her thighs. Her tank top was short enough to show off a teasingly amount of her flat abs and her pierced belly button. The cold night air had caused her nipples to poke against the thin fabric of her tank top which stretched over her medium-sized breasts. They weren't the biggest things I had ever seen, nothing like what I had seen on porn websites, but they were slightly bigger than most of the other girls on the swim team with me. She had her hair pulled back into a ponytail that stuck out from behind her lifeguard visor. When I finished my once over, my eyes rested in her deep blue eyes which were still staring intently at me.
"What if I could change that?" Ashley said, again rather bluntly.
"What do you mean?" I naively asked.
"What if I offered to teach you everything you ever wanted to know about sex, and help you enter your senior year not a virgin?" She said with a coy smile.
"But you're my cousin," I said sheepishly.
"We're not related," She said. "We can do whatever we want, and there is nothing illegal or immoral about it." Her coy smile grew to an impish grin. "Plus, it will be a long summer for both of us if we don't do anything about this sexual tension between us."
"What sexual tension?" I asked, still oblivious that a hot girl was throwing herself at me.
"You're hot," She said again being blunt. "And I see the way you look at me around the pool when I am in my suit."
I guess I had been caught. I am a red blooded teenage male. I don't care if it's your cousin, your sister, or whatever, if you see a hot girl in a swimsuit, you will look.
"I..." before I could say anything else, she cut me off.
"Here's the deal," She said motioning me to a bench swing in front of her staff cabin. "I already know that coach has been scouting you for a spot on State's team. He sees some real potential in you. So I figure if you end up going to college at State, you and I will get to hang out a lot more. I also know what it's like to be an awkward teenager in high school and have no clue about sex, romance, and whatnot." She paused. "No offense."
