Author's Note: In Chapter 1, Sandra tried to seduce her best friend's uncle, who was nearly twice her age. She managed to get him all alone and herself fully naked. After someone almost walked in on them, Michael made a hasty retreat. Sandra is not giving up yet!

"Where were you?" Michelle asked. Sandra plopped down on the beach blanket next to her friend. She looked down the line of beach chairs nearby, and spied Michelle's uncle three chairs down.
"Oh, just taking care of some unfinished business." Sandra caught a slight smile on Michael's face. She wondered if he knew what she had done after he left the tent.
"Let's go for a swim," Michelle got to her feet. "I've been sitting in this sun all morning. I'm roasting!"
"You go ahead," Sandra suggested. "I'm not quite ready to get wet again."
"Again? You just got here. You haven't been wet once!"
Michael coughed, and then stood up. "I could use a swim. Let's go, 'lil niece."
Sandra watched the pair saunter down to the waves. Michael said something that made Michelle laugh, and then she tried to punch him in the arm. Michael ducked out of the way, and then charged back at her. He scooped her up effortlessly and flung her over one shoulder. Michelle let out a shrill scream and started beating her fists against Michael's back. He jogged down to the water. Michael was waist deep when he lifted Michelle off his shoulder and flung her into the chilly Atlantic waters.
Michelle came up wiping her eyes, sputtering and laughing. She started splashing her uncle with water. He dove into the next wave and surfaced several yards behind her. Michelle swam out toward him, past the breakers. Sandra watched them swim for a while, then rolled on to her back. It was time for some sun.

"Mom, I'm hungry," one of Michelle's younger cousins whined.
"Me, too," chimed another rug-rat.
It wasn't quite noon yet, but it was getting close.
"Go wash that sand off your hands, then come back for a granola bar," one of the moms replied, without lifting her nose from the book she was reading. It was Michael's wife. Sandra looked at her and thought the woman could be attractive, if she only tried. She rarely wore make-up, and when she did it was done terribly. She'd let her body go after their second child. Sandra couldn't see what Michael saw in her.
"I have to go to the cottage, Babs," Michael said, tugging on a T-shirt and slipping his feet into a pair of sandals. "Want me to bring back some sandwiches for the kids?"
Babs. Sandra hated that name.
"That'd be nice," she still didn't lift her nose from the book. "Make some Peanut Butter and Jelly. Do you girls want anything?"
"I haven't had a PB and J in forever," Sandra exclaimed. "That sounds real good."
"Make that four," Michelle gave a thumbs up without even lifting her head from the towel.
"Might as well make a picnic basket," Barbara suggested. "Julie and Kevin will be back from their walk soon, and my parents will be driving in any minute. The boys will be back from golfing soon, too."
Michael left for the cottage, and Sandra lay back on her towel. 'Julie and Kevin are walking on the beach,' she thought to herself. 'The rest of the adults are out golfing, there's no one at the cottage. Just Michael.'
Sandra lifted her head, and looked over to her friend. Michelle was napping, her eyes closed, her breathing deep and slow. Sandra turned toward Mrs. Peters. Her nose was still stuck in that book.
