We joined everyone else a couple minutes later, ascending to the deck to a chorus of whoops and cheers. I tipped an imaginary cap, and Ariel broke out in a big cheshire grin. We moved over toward the fridge, grabbed drinks, and toasted, sharing a wink and a smile. Then we rejoined the party.
Day turned to evening, the sun dropping low in the sky. Pizza was ordered, delivered, and quickly consumed, then we watched a spectacular sunset blast across the Pacific. Everyone got quiet for a moment and I marveled at nature's power, subduing these ten revelers, their love of energy and noise abandoned under the fiery ending of the day. Then it was gone, and we all turned from the sky and the party continued.
Purple darkness fell across the city. The temperature dropped, and the hot tub was fired up. It could fit about six of us at any given point, but Ariel and I avoided the first wave. I think we both understood without vocalizing it that we wanted to save our hot tub experience for when we had a chance to be alone in it.
After about a half hour, some people cycled out and we cycled in. I sat down into the water and watched Ariel step in next to me, ogling her flawless body, everything tan and smooth. When her toes touched the water her mouth opened in a pleasurable gasp and she looked at me. I flashed forward in time, imagined us having sex, me plunging my cock into her pussy, causing her to make that face all on my own.
We relaxed in the water, our shoulders touching, our hair growing damp. The water felt incredible, churning around us, obscuring everything underneath. I felt Ariel's hand touch my thigh, move to the inside of it. I looked at her. She was watching me from the corner of her eye, smiling. Her hand kept going, moved to my crotch and planted itself on my dick. I turned forward, looking at the four others in the tub, trying not to give anything away.
Ariel's fingers started to work, caressing my dick through my shorts, rubbing it up and down. I leaned back, extended my arms out across the edge of the hot tub, trying to listen to the group's conversation, to act casual. Ariel leaned into me, smiling at everyone else, as her hand worked its way under my waistband, wrapped itself around my cock, started tugging it down my leg.
I put my hand around her shoulder, clenched it, my pleasure centers firing. I looked down at the water swirling around us, thankfully unable to see anything, but worried what would happen if the jets suddenly stopped.
"Jack knows."
I looked up.
"What?"
Everyone in the tub was staring at me, expecting the answer to a question I hadn't heard.
"Come on, Jack," Ariel said, looking up at me, her smile teasing, her hand continuing to jerk me off. "Tell us."
"Oh," I said, "of course. Seven."
Everyone stared at me, confused. I burst out laughing.
"I have no idea what the question was."
Everyone else laughed too. Ariel's hand squeezed my cock.
Conversation resumed. I looked down into Ariel's eyes. She stared up into mine.
"You're gonna pay for that," I said softly.
"Can't wait," she said.
I moved the hand around her shoulder off into the water, pushed it down between her legs. Her mouth opened slightly, a quiet gasp, she sat up slightly straighter, and she looked around at everyone else, straining to act natural.
I pushed my hand up between her thighs and she spread her legs slightly, allowing me better access. I pushed my whole palm up against her pussy, rubbed against her bathing suit, feeling her slit through the fabric. It wasn't the most natural position for my arm, definitely looked like I was touching her somewhere, I just hoped people assumed it was her leg.
I pulled her bikini aside and started rubbing her labia. Her lips pursed, her eyes closed. Her head bent forward, then back, then side to side. I found her clit, started rubbing it. She turned her head toward me and moaned very lightly, loud enough for me to hear, luckily not for anyone else to. Then I slid my finger off her clit and pushed it up into her pussy.
"Oh my god!" she said.
Everyone looked at her. I curled my finger up inside her.
"Sorry," she said, smiling goofily, her expression slightly dazed. "This water just feels so good."
While I started searching for her g-spot, I made eye contact with one of my friends, his expression slyly suspicious.
"The water does feel good," I said.
Everyone resumed conversation with each other, and Ariel leaned into my ear, her voice breathy.
"You have to stop. I think I'm going to scream."
I pushed my finger across the top ridge of her pussy one more time, she moaned helplessly through gritted teeth, and I pulled it out. She exhaled.
"Thank you."
I lifted my hand out of the water, put my arm back around her shoulder, held her close to me.
Soon after, the people who'd been in the tub first decided to check out a local beach bar. The four others in the tub got out to join them on the journey, but Ariel and I stayed behind. The only others who didn't go were my friend Guy and the girl named Jessica, who had gotten very flirty with each other and now were laid out together on one of the couches, talking.
When it was just the four of us on the deck, Ariel pushed across to the other side of the hot tub. She extended her legs out and put them on my crotch, pushing my dick around with her feet.
"You're naughty," I said.
"We're alone now," she said.
"Not completely." I indicated Guy and Jessica with a nod of my head.
"Give it a moment."
