Jerry and his family lived about 30 to 40-minutes north of Bob and Rose, closer to Oklahoma than to Dallas. You couldn't even call their town a suburb. Several years ago, it would have been referred to as the boondocks, as it had been out in the middle of nowhere. But, now the Dallas sprawl had continued its northward march, and this former cattle ranch had been transformed into a wealthy gated community. The homes were massive and sat on multi-acre lots arranged around a private recreational lake. Bob had no idea how much Jerry had paid for the place, but it had to be in the millions.
As they pulled into the circular driveway in front of Jerry's home, they noticed several expensive cars parked in front of the sizeable Mediterranean-style house. Rose suddenly felt out of place in their rather mundane Ford SUV.
"Well, at least they don't have a valet out here parking cars!" Bob joked as he turned his car off.
Rose chuckled nervously in response. She looked out of the passenger window as if she was reluctant to exit the vehicle. Their kids in the back were staring intently at their electronic devices and had not even realized the SUV had stopped moving.
Rose stared at the house and mumbled, "Oh my god, Bob, it's huge."
"Shhh honey," Bob replied, chuckling, "you shouldn't talk about my pecker like that. The kids might hear you."
She gave him her "Really?" stare and he laughed even louder.
They all piled out of the SUV, staring around in wonder at the evidence of wealth around them. Earlier the kids did not want to come, but now they were now excited to be there and antsy to see more. Bob gestured for them all to gather around.
"Ok, some ground rules," Bob began, trying to play the part of a stern father. "This is my boss's house, and we all have to be on our best behavior. Try to act like all this luxury isn't completely alien to us." He waited for his words to sink in then added, "Be respectful and mind your elders."
The boys looked at each other and laughed. "Sure Dad," they replied in unison.
Amanda raised an eyebrow and looked at her father over her iPhone, "Mind your elders? Is that something they used to say when you were young?"
"Oh, and one more thing," Bob added, holding out his hands. "Give me all your phones. You're here to have fun, not chat with your friends all day."
The kid's protest was immediate. It began with angry defiance and ended with reluctant acquiescence as they handed their phones over.
They walked up the sidewalk to the house and found a note taped to the arched double entry doors which read "Come on in and go straight through. We're all out back." Bob glanced at Rose and snickered slightly, "Man, nothing like living in a gated community."
He opened the door, and they went inside. The interior was immaculate and luxurious. They passed through a large foyer with marble flooring and twin spiral staircases which curved up to an open landing. Off to the right, they saw a room with a dark burgundy carpet and mahogany bookcases along each wall. On the left, an arched doorway opened into a sizable, well-lit, formal dining room with massive, floor-to-ceiling windows. The foyer was domed, and gazing up they could see rich, wooden beams and a parquet ceiling, with a ring of windows to let in natural light.
They walked straight through the house like the note had said, moving past an arch-lined hallway, a spacious living room, and an even larger sunken family room with an enormous stone hearth. The entire back wall of the room was glass, overlooking one of the most amazing views they had ever seen. In the distance was the lake, much larger than Bob had assumed.
Between the house and the lake was a large, resort-style wet area that consisted of three separate pools interconnected by water channels. A spacious pergola covered part of the wet areas and a patio. To the right, they could see an outdoor kitchen and dining area and to the left, a waterfall, some caves, and a swim-up bar.
As they stepped out back, Bob heard Jerry's boisterous voice call out, "Bob! Hey, glad you guys can make it!" He was in the pool at the swim-up bar, and he waved with one hand, the other was holding a cocktail.
Jerry was in his early fifties but still looked young for his age. He had sandy brown hair, which was graying at the temples and piercing blue eyes. He was in pretty good shape, with only a small bit of belly fat, not the beer gut common to men his age. He was a couple of inches taller than Bob, maybe 6'3". His chest was carpeted with hair, which had turned mostly gray.
Jerry was ruggedly handsome and exuded confidence. Dressed as he was in a tight, colorful Speedo, a couple of things became apparent. First, he looked like an aging California surfer dude, which he was. Second, he had an enormous cock, which you could practically see through the fabric of the Speedo.
Bob noticed Rose was turning slightly red in the face as Jerry approached, and that her eyes were not looking at Jerry's face. Jerry walked up and shook Bob's hand, then hugged Rose and kissed her on both cheeks. Bob had never really been comfortable with the European way of greeting people when he was in Europe. Back here in Texas it always just seemed pretentious to him.
"You must be Rose. So glad you could come." He stepped back a little and blatantly, without even thinking, let his eyes take her in, scanning from top to bottom and back again. She shifted nervously under Jerry's penetrating gaze.
Rose had always been somewhat self-conscious of her looks, but she had no reason to be. She was stunning to look at under normal circumstances, and even more so today. She wore a pair of very short "Daisy Duke" cutoff shorts over her pink thong bikini bottoms. The bikini top was narrow, leaving a considerable amount of her breasts exposed. However, she wore a short robe over the bikini, which left only her cleavage visible.
Jerry noticed the kids and smiled broadly, "And you must be Amanda, Jodie, and Chase," he said nodded to each of them in turn, "Well, I'm Jerry and welcome. Come on out and make yourselves at home. Can I get you all something to drink? We have sodas for the kids and adult beverages for the grownups."
Before Bob could react, Jerry called over a muscular looking man in his mid-twenties, with sandy-blonde hair, blue eyes, and well-developed biceps, wearing only yellow-and-black striped board shorts.
"Hey Mike, come say hello to the Carters," he said, turning back to Bob and Rose, "This is Mike Hernandez, my boys' personal trainer. He has something special planned for the kids."
Mike approached and introduced himself to Bob, Rose and the kids. Amanda's eyes locked on Mike and she stared at him as if he were a celebrity. Jerry put his hand on Mike's shoulder and said, "Hey Mike, why don't you take Amanda, Jodie and Chase here down to the boat to meet my boys and get them settled in."
"Boat?" Bob asked, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yeah," Jerry replied smiling, "that's right. We have a party barge for the weekend. Mike here is gonna take the kids all out on the lake. The boat has a couple of jet-skis, a big water slide, all kind of fun things. They're gonna spend the day out on the water and head back in the evening for a bonfire and fireworks."
"Oh, wow," Rose commented, looking both surprised and nervous, "I didn't know about a boat. I'm not sure our kids are up for that."
The kids immediately began to protest and begged to be allowed to go. Jerry put a reassuring hand on Rose's shoulder.
"Rose, I know exactly what you're thinking. Is it safe? What if something happens? Am I right?" he asked, then continued without waiting for her response. "Mike has years of experience with boats and is certified in CPR and first aid. They'll be fine and have a blast in progress."
"I don't know," she began to say more, but the kids cut her off.
"Oh please, Mom" chimed in Chase.
"Yeah, it is going to be fun, please Mom," begged Jodie.
Amanda just looked at her parents with a pleading look in her eyes, casting furtive glances at the muscular personal trainer. Rose asked Bob for a decision, and he just shrugged. She turned back to Jerry, and her resolve seemed to melt. "Oh, alright. But, you kids behave."
The kids shouted their thanks as Mike led them down a driveway to the docks and the waiting party barge, a rectangular houseboat on pontoons. Bob could see a group of other kids of varying ages down and around the boat, all boys.
Amanda's body language showed she was nervous and self-conscious. At eighteen, she was a bit of a late bloomer, and her breasts had gone from small B-cups to substantial C-cups over the last year. Her bikini barely fit her, so she covered herself with a t-shirt. As his kids neared the dock, the group of boys approached them and appeared to welcome them.
"Your Amanda is a knock-out," Jerry said, smiling, as they all watched the kids interacting. "She takes after her mom. She's going to drive my boys crazy."
Rose nodded, thinking out loud, "She just turned eighteen a couple of weeks ago. Some days she acts like she's thirty and other times like she's thirteen."
"I know exactly what you mean," Jerry replied, "my oldest boys are almost nineteen and are determined to prove they're men. I tell them not to rush it. Old age comes too quickly, no need to be in a hurry."
Jerry led them over to the bar and offered to make drinks for everyone. "What do you have?", Rose asked.
