This is a strange story, involving group sex, nonconsensual/reluctant sex, prostitution, and a young couple finding each other while falling in love. If you object to any of the above themes, perhaps you should skip the story? The setting is rural Indiana.
************************
It was a hot Indiana summer day. I was home from college for summer vacation. Having failed to find a summer job better than waitressing at the local diner in the evenings, I was lounging around with a few friends, conspiring to find a way to get to use somebody's swimming pool. All of us lived on the 'wrong side of the railroad tracks,' and none of our parents were rich enough even to have a proper house, let alone one with a pool. We were discussing various friends and acquaintances whose parents did have a pool in their backyard.
We gave up, and we went to my pathetic back yard with some beach towels and bikinis, and pretended we were lounging near a pool. I brought out my laptop and went to a web site that would broadcast the sounds of a pool, with people swimming in it, or splashing in it, or whatever one wanted.
It was Michelle who came up with a great idea. We took my iPad and set it up to take a picture of all of us in our bikinis, smiling. She posted it on a local Facebook page, asking if anyone in our small town wanted four pretty girls to come play with them in their pool.
Michelle's idea and our subsequent Facebook post generated a lot of anonymous crude remarks, but no serious offers. "Let's up the ante!" Michelle said.
"What did you have in mind?" I asked, even if I suspected I knew.
We took another picture, this time with all four of us topless. We were too sane to post it to Facebook, but instead we sent it as a disappearing photo on Instagram to all the boys we knew who had pools. Bear in mind, we knew none of these boys well. In fact, most of them we knew hardly at all. The social divide in our small Indiana town was rather severe. What we had going for us was that we were all four pretty, with nice boobs and good figures, and boys like seeing girls topless. There was no question about that.
Mary's idea worked, and we got five offers within the next ten minutes. Now we had to choose. Sam Nevers won, because he offered to drive over and give us a ride to his pool. He asked if it would be okay if he invited a few friends over? He also added two things that made clinched his offer. His parents were gone for the entire weekend, and he would buy some booze.
That was an offer that was hard to beat! At Michelle's third and last suggestion, we took another picture of all of us topless, and with our hands in our bottoms pushing them down as far as we dared. Zoe's bottoms actually fell to the ground and at the precise time the camera clicked, and we all giggled hysterically. When she saw me sending the picture to Sam she screamed, but it was too late. Zoe was really angry, but that just generated more hysterical giggling.
I included my address with the picture, and the words, "We're waiting for you, Sam."
Zoe finally joined the giggling. "What's done is done, I guess," she said, philosophically. "Besides it's a disappearing Instagram, right?"
"Yes," I said, "Unless Sam is quick witted and does a screen save before it disappears."
"Oh my God," Zoe said, her hand rushing up to her forehead, in a fetching gesture of dismay.
"Don't worry," Mary said. "Sam barely knows how to use a cell phone, I'm sure."
"Sam was honor roll in high school. Now he's at MIT," Zoe said. "Probably he knows more than we do!"
"You always think men are smarter than we are," I said. "They're not. Not all of them, anyway."
Truth be told, the four of us girls did not exactly break down the doors of the honor society when we were in high school, but hey, we knew how to get to use a pool on a hot day, right? That does not sound dumb, if you ask me. We were all in college, too. None of us were in MIT, not even close to it. Michelle was at Ivy Tech, Mary and Zoe were at Purdue, and I was the lucky one and had a scholarship to Boston University, known to the cognoscenti as BU.
The rumor at our old high school was that I slept with all of my teachers, and that was how I got into BU. That was a super nasty rumor and did not have a lick of truth to it. It was my Mom who slept with them.
We put our tops back on, and Zoe of course also pulled her bottoms back up. We also donned Tee shirts and waited for Sam to show up. I had texted him my address, because texts don't disappear. I used to be embarrassed about my living arrangements. I lived in a trailer. It was a permanent trailer and it was raised on cinder blocks. The original wheels had long ago been removed. We even had a little herb garden.
When I was in grade school, we were all given a survey and one of the questions was how many books were in your home? The answers to choose from were 0, 1, 2-5, 5-10, or more than ten. Our home had one book, and it was not the bible. It was not a Daniel Steele novel, either, even if my Mom read at least one per week, always borrowed from the county library. No, it was the Kamasutra. My Mom was a special kind of mom.
Now that I was older, I felt no shame that my Mom was poor white trash. I was proud of her. She worked hard, and she even saved a little money. Most importantly, she made sure I was healthy, well fed, and well loved. It's true my mother danced at one of the seedier bars outside of town when I was young, in order to keep us afloat financially, but as my mother said, "Go with your talents. I'm a good dancer."
Now that I'm older, I can only imagine what else she had to do to 'earn large tips.' We had never discussed it. A benefit of her job was comprehensive health insurance, and again, now that I'm older, I can only imagine how important that was given the prevalence of STDs in the sketchier parts of Hoosier society.
I could see the surprise in Sam's face when he pulled up and saw where I grew up. I knew he had always lusted after me in high school, and I guess I seemed a bit mysterious, because nobody in his social circle, boy or girl, knew me at all. It was not really accetoable to date the daughter of the local prostitute. Plenty of boys on our side of the tracks were interested in me, and at times I had to fight them off. I did not feel lonely; not at all. Boys like Sam, however, were out of reach. I was out of reach for them, too.
I guessed at the time he was too timid or scared actually to have acted on his desire to get to know me. My Mom often entertained Sam's Dad, and so he knew all about my family, you might say. He once offered my Mom a lot of money to do both of us, and my Mom got so mad, she refused to see him for months, before she finally relented. He never asked again.
Sam himself always did smile at me and I had always, in return, given him my best smile back. I wondered if he thought that today might be his big chance to get to know me in a good way. I hoped so.
Sam had always struck me as a nice guy. Nice guys usually know other nice guys. However, while Sam was a harmless academic nerd, his friends might have evolved in all sorts of ways now that the first two years of college were under their belts. I looked forward to finding out how all these boys I had barely known had matured into men I did not yet know at all.
The boys treated us as if we were royalty. I think they were thrilled to have four pretty girls visiting them, clad only in bikinis. We lay out on chaise lounges poolside in our bikinis, and the boys brought us drinks, checking out our boobs and the area between our legs. Bikinis don't hide much.
After a few glasses of wine and an hour in the sun, we were all ready for a dip. The boys had all been leering at us. I felt as if their tongues had been hanging out. I felt desired and confident. We girls were in control. I liked that.
That's when Sam made his announcement.
"Everyone in the pool must be topless. House rule," he said.
"Really?" Michelle said, incredulous.
Zoe said, "Michelle, this was your fault. The topless photo was your idea." Mary and I nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I guess it is my fault. Well, okay then," she said, dropping her bikini top and diving into the pool gracefully, and topless. "Ooh, the water's great. Anyone want to join me?"
I saw Sam looking at me. I had the best rack of the four of us. Michelle had nice boobs, but they were a small B cup. Some men like that, I know, since after all they were pert but not so firm that they didn't jiggle just a little when she walked. I suspect the boys found the subtle jiggling of her boobs as she walked towards the pool to be quite fetching.
Mary was maybe a C cup, and Zoe was in between, but I was a big old D cup, and a large D cup at that. I never thought much of it; my Mom was an E cup after all. Boobs grow with age, however. When she was my age, she was probably also only a C or a D cup, herself. When I walked, if I were without a bra, you could tell. Everyone could tell.
