First of a 3-part series. The other parts should be added in a week or so. Thanks for reading.
If Mom was devastated by Dad's leaving to cohabitate with his twentysomething assistant, she didn't show it. Always the extroverted of the two, she took her newfound independence as an opportunity to expand her social circle even further. Although he technically kept his business, the terms of the divorce stipulated that for every dollar he took, whether salaries, bonuses or reimbursement, she would get a like amount. He still maintained full control, but he led a lavish lifestyle, for which he needed to draw a healthy amount each month. The business did well, and mom's share allowed her to go part-time with her PR job and join all manner of clubs: tennis, swimming, and what soon became my favorites: book and bridge.
Me? I'm Gunnar Cavendish, 18 and in the summer after graduating high school, set to enjoy a few free-for-flinging months before attending State on a tennis scholarship. My academics were good enough not to disqualify me, but the athletic gods were the ones who really smiled on me. At 6-3, lean and muscular, I excelled at any sport I took up. My grandmother (of all people) imparted a profound piece of wisdom: the Big Three (football, baseball and basketball) might bring glory for a few years, but tennis can be played until retirement. And, other than golf, it brought the best and longest social connections, especially with the ladies. Golf somehow held no interest for me, so tennis it was.
My dad, as I said, was good at business and we lived well. My mom, Melissa, kept the McMansion in the divorce, with its hot tub and nice-size pool--water for the winter, and water for the summer.
Dad left around New Years in my senior year, and by the time my graduation approached, Mom had begun settling into her new 'club' life, listed above. She hosted the book club at our house. It consisted of four to six ladies who would come over, and that's where my education began. No, not school, wine. Technically I was underage, but Mother had no intention of playing barmaid to her friends. Neither did she think it necessary to hire someone, so I was it--nothing like free labor. I don't know if she had something specific in mind, but she said I'd glean rewards in other forms. She had no idea how right she was.
Or maybe she did, the sly fox.
Mom pointed me to several websites and magazines during the winter and spring, and in no time I had a good working knowledge of wines, French and domestic. She was partial to wines from the Columbia River Valley in Washington, and the book club women followed suit. Of course they did--who turns down free wine?
For each meeting, they were supposed to read a few chapters in a particular book, which they discussed over a glass or two (or six) when they came together. To accompany said discussion, they had not one, but three or four wines to compare and discuss also. Expert tasters apparently never swallow (wine, you perverts--get your minds out of the gutter) but do this foo-foo thing of slurping, rolling the wine in their mouths, breathing in, making eyes at the heavens, then spitting it out before taking a piece of white bread (French, preferably) to clean the taste buds for the next wine. Good in theory and maybe for stiff upper lip snobs, but definitely out of place with four or five lusty, lively and healthy women here to pass a leisurely afternoon talking books and their love lives.
They drank a healthy glass of each of the different wines they were supposedly evaluating, polishing a bottle with each round. So what if nobody could remember at dinner time what the first wines tasted like? Did the wines produce happy smiles--that's what it was all about.
My job was akin to butler: open the door, accept fly-by hello kisses, take any extraneous items of clothing and direct traffic before opening the bottles of wine and setting out the stemware. Whites apparently required different glasses than reds. Me complain? Does a bear insist on a white porcelain throne in the woods?
All of my mom's friends were, like her, attractive and flirty. Moreover, since part of the meetings happened around the pool or tub, their clothing ranged from revealing to eye-popping.
The first book club meeting at our house happened in early spring, on a rainy day. Mom had me open the hot tub (which had an overhang roof kinda thing), clean it and get it ready. Betty Miles was the first to arrive. Younger than mom and the second (trophy) wife of an investment banker, she showed up wearing a fashionable raincoat. Swooping in the front door, she looked me in the eye, undid its belt and handed it to me with a wide grin. Underneath she wore nothing but a microscopic bikini, which displayed her gym-toned body and enhanced boobs to perfection. Show me an 18-year old who can survive a surprise like that. I gasped, dropped the raincoat, bent down to pick it up, only to drop it once more, before I could recover and start breathing again. Each time my eyes passed less than six inches from her bikini bottom whose camel-toe made it clear the little covered kitten was as smooth as a baby's behind. Breathless was the least of the effects she had on me. Was this how she became a trophy wife?
Betty's eyes sparkled at the reaction. "Thanks, Gunnar." She held out her car keys. "After you hang up the coat, would you be a dear and fetch the bag from my car? Hubby has guests for dinner and I can't arrive back in this."
She cocked her head and assumed a model pose with one bent knee. "You like?"
The bathing suit had obviously been through a too-hot dryer, where it must have shrunk two sizes below anything designed to fit this luscious woman. I nodded furiously, desperately trying to slam my mind into gear for a coherent response and refrain from slobbering. Those tits just kept gumming up the works, however, with their aureolae not quite able to duck under the skimpy top. The hard nipples straining the fabric didn't help, either.
"Y..Yes, Ms. Miles, very pretty."
"Betty, Gunnar, Betty. You're an adult now," she glanced at my un-hidable boner and lifted an eyebrow. "And that means I'm Betty to you now. Got it?"
Another frantic nod. My hardon gave an uncontrolled pulse, which attracted her eye again. "Hmm, a real adult. So who am I, again?"
"B..Betty." No matter how I tried, I couldn't get the stammer from my voice. I grabbed the key to her Bentley and fled out the front door as the throaty laugh moved further into the house.
Next to arrive was Sandra (please, not Sandy) Houghton, the mayor's ex-wife. According to rumor, both had had affairs and had divorced amicably. Coming from money, she'd been the one who'd funded his political career, but was happy to cut him loose when, between his age and other 'interests,' he had neglected her, and she apparently had taken advantage of that neglect with a fitness club stud or two.
Unlike Betty, Sandra arrived fully clothed and composed, carrying a small bag with what I assumed was her swimwear. The smile she gave me was more amused than flirting, almost like a cat sizing up a mouse before she started toying with it.
Miranda Kilian, the fourth club member, was going to be late--some family drama, apparently. So, while mom, dressed in her bikini with a light, short robe, laid out a charcuterie board, I poured the whites and Sandra disappeared to change into her hot tub outfit.
As I poured, I noticed my mother added an extra plate for me. Although I was not an official member of the book club, she wanted me to hang around the hot tub so I could keep the bubbles going and their glasses refilled without any of them having to 'brave the cold.' I assumed I'd sit at one of the tables on the patio while they enjoyed the hot tub.
Right as everyone had their plates and moved toward the deck and hot tub, Miranda came flying in the front door. "Sorry, everyone. Let me change quickly." Passing the table, she grabbed her glass of wine, drained it and hustled to the guest bathroom to change while I refilled it.
Soon, the women sat in the bubbling water, snack plates in hand and wine glasses on the deck beside the sunken tub. Frustratingly, the water level covered their breasts, leaving me nothing to perve at.
Their first glasses emptied quickly, or in Miranda's case, her second. Whether it was their chatter or the hot water, they soon murdered the second bottle, too. Actually, Betty beat them. When she raised her glass and an eyebrow, I quickly fetched the bottle of white from the ice and walked toward her. She twisted out of the tub to face me with the empty glass. The unusual movement caused her shrunken top to slide down while her back was to the others, giving me a full, naked view of one of her enhanced girls, it's nipple at full attention. To make sure I knew it wasn't an accident, she looked down and then, making no adjustment, she looked me in the eye and then at my crotch. When she saw Little Gunnar jump to attention again, she grinned and said, "Fill me up, dude, I'm ready." Her raised glass might have fooled the others, but her eyes, flitting from mine to my dick, left no doubt what she wanted filling up from.
"It'll be my pleasure," I replied with a new boldness, "filling you up is what I'm here for." She appeared to like being in control, so I filled her glass slowly while keeping my eyes on her boobs and twerking my cock. Her nipples stayed hard under my gaze.
