Conflicted in Paradise Ch. 02

Kelsey was giving him a look of absolute astonishment through her tears.

"What?" he asked her.

"Who are you, and what have you done to my brother?!" she gasped. "What happened to the guy who was so jealous that he was practically breaking his jaw by gnashing his teeth when he saw me with someone else?"

He couldn't help but grin at her, and he gave her another kiss. "I love you, brat."

"Thank you, Damon," Kelsey said softly, in reply to which he just gave her yet another kiss.

"Hey guys," Amanda said wanly as she walked up behind them. She was wearing her yellow bikini again, and though she was smiling, Damon could still see the hurt in her eyes. He groaned a little as he got up, but he managed to hide his discomfort from her when he wrapped her in a huge hug, after which he kissed her too.

"Are you okay?" he whispered in her ear.

"Yeah, I'll be alright," she said just as quietly.

Both Kelsey and Carynne gave her a hug, and she kissed her two friends in return.

"Amanda..." Carynne began.

"Sshhh, it's okay. You don't have to say anything," Amanda said, quickly shushing her by putting a finger on her lips. "And I'm sorry we never thought about how you felt about everything."

Carynne just shook her head. "It's not a problem. It never has been."

Kelsey grabbed Damon's hand and squeezed it so hard she nearly broke it.

Amanda gave Kelsey a faint smile, then she went over to Siara and Ryan, hugging them both in greeting.

The rest of the day was spent talking, laughing and swimming. Ryan and Siara quickly settled into the groove of things between the friends, joking right along with everyone else, though Ryan was quite a bit more exuberant than Siara. Amanda was sad, but she hid it well, spending most of the day in Damon's lap and frequently sharing kisses with him. He noticed Stacey looking determinedly at Amanda and him at times, but whenever his eyes crossed with hers, she quickly looked away.

He struggled most of the day with trying to decide whether to bring up his conversation with Stacey to Amanda, though he eventually decided not to. It wasn't going to change anything, and Amanda had always been the driving force behind their exclusivity deal, so he didn't figure that telling her that Stacey wanted to get back with both of them would make her feel any better.

They all went back to the nightclub that evening, dancing and drinking until it was quite late. Once they were eventually herded outside by the nightclub personnel, they said goodbye on the beach, with Ryan and Siara quickly accepting Stacey's invitation to come by again the next day.

Damon and Amanda made love once they got back to their villa, but though he tried absolutely smothering her with love and affection, he could tell her heart wasn't really in it. He held her close against him as they fell asleep, and several times during the night he felt her cry. It was a struggle for him not to cry himself, and through most of the night he had disturbing dreams of Kelsey abandoning him.

A few days later found the group of friends outside the Ocean View Villas, in their customary spot on the sunloungers, on what was turning out to be another beautiful, sunny day. The girls were all getting excellent tans, and even the guys were starting to sport a nice shade. The combination of five such incredibly beautiful women in one spot meant that a ton of men were always wandering by, occasionally trying to start up some conversation, but the girls all bore it with good humor. Ryan and Siara had been coming over every day, hanging out and becoming good friends with the group, though they'd gone back to their own apartment, which was located about half a mile down the beach, every night.

Stacey stretched languidly as she sat on her sunlounger, smiling when she saw Ryan's eyes widen at the sight of her body stretching her bikini. She'd been teasingly flirting with both him and Siara for the last couple of days, and she really wanted to get her hands on that gorgeous body of his. He'd tried to hide his hard cock from her several times, but she knew it was there, and that it was because of her—well, her and Kelsey, but every man always walked around with a hard cock near Kelsey, so that was nothing new.

Her campaign to get at him went through Siara, however, as she knew that getting her hands on the lovely British girl would inevitably get Ryan into her bed as well. The last thing she wanted to do was to break them up or have one of them be jealous at something, and, well, she always loved fucking multiple people at the same time.

She hadn't had a chance to talk with Damon again since Amanda was constantly at his side. She knew he'd been considering what she'd said about making an exception for Carynne and herself, and she figured that just a little push would get him to agree to what she wanted, which was to get everyone back into bed with each other. The bigger challenge would be to convince Amanda, though she was starting to come up with a plan that would quickly set that in motion. All she really needed was to get Amanda away from Damon for a little while.

She shook off a brief feeling of guilt over being so manipulative; all she was doing was trying to help her friends, after all. She knew Kelsey was miserable, and because of it Carynne was suffering too. And it didn't take a rocket scientist to see that both Damon and Amanda were terribly unhappy! If they'd just agree to fuck Carynne—and herself—again, all the issues would just fall away, and everyone could be happy again. She was utterly determined to fix the whole thing before their vacation was over—her mother would be proud of her, she thought a little despondently, though she quickly shook off the feeling.

"So what do you guys want to do?" Stacey asked, getting a little restless from just hanging out on the beach. She and her friends had spent several days with Ryan and Siara, and there were only a few more days left in their vacation. She wanted to go do something fun!

Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds to see if someone else had something in mind, then both Ryan and Carynne spoke up at the same time.

"I've got a boat we—"

"I want to go—"

They both grinned at each other, then Ryan graciously allowed Carynne to go first.

"I want to go shopping for awhile," Carynne said. "I'd like to pick up some stuff for my parents, maybe some souvenirs, and I really need a new bikini."

"What's wrong with that one?" Damon asked. She was wearing her too-small blue bikini again, with her hair loosely trailing down her shoulders.

"Nothing. But I like a black one better, because it matches Kelsey's."

"What happened to your black one?" Amanda asked. She was sitting in Damon's lap in his sunlounger. She'd been sitting in his lap as often as she could since their talk with Kelsey. He absolutely loved it, but he knew it was mostly so she could draw comfort and strength from him. Though she behaved as if nothing was wrong, he knew she was still very sad; holding her while she cried every night was proof enough of that fact. He felt the same way, but he kept up a strong front for her sake.

Carynne gave Kelsey a wicked grin, and Kelsey blushed a cute shade of pink. She glanced over at Amanda a little hesitantly, but Amanda quickly nodded, so Kelsey said, "I was a little too eager in getting it off her yesterday."

"Well, with the way she looks in it she can't really blame you, now can she?" Siara asked with a teasing smile. She'd relaxed her somewhat formal attitude around the girls and was now flirting with them as much as they were with her, even if hers were quite a bit more tentative and innocent.

"No, I don't blame her at all," Carynne said. "But it's kind of hard to wear a bikini when all the straps are broken!"

"That's what you get for playing hard to get!" Kelsey smirked.

"I know. I got a lot of it, too!" Carynne giggled. They both stared at each other and started grinning.

"We could go into town today. You can get yourself a new bikini, and we can all get some souvenirs and stuff," Stacey offered.

"That does sound good. I could use a break from sitting on the beach," Damon said. "Not from you, sweetheart!" he added quickly, giving Amanda a kiss on her cheek.

She smiled at him and returned his kiss. "I know. I like sitting in your lap, but I wouldn't mind going for a walk either."

"You two are so cute together," Siara said, not for the first time.

Damon and Amanda both smiled at her compliment. Though their two newfound friends had picked up hints of their unhappiness, they'd kept the real reason a secret. Ryan and Siara needed to become much closer friends before they were let in on the whole deal with regards to Kelsey—if there even was ever going to be another deal with regards to Kelsey, that was.

"What were you gonna say, Ryan?" Kelsey asked.

"Oh, I have a boat we can borrow, if we want. We could go sailing," Ryan said.

"You have a boat here in Nassau?" Damon asked, somewhat incredulously.

"It's not my boat, it belongs to a good friend of my dad's who vacations here often. It's moored a few miles away, and he's always said I could borrow it whenever I'm here."

"Do you know how to sail?" Stacey asked.

"Sort of," he grinned. "Besides, it's a very modern boat, so how hard can it be?"

"That sounds awesome!" Kelsey said. "Though of course we'll get you a new bikini first, baby."

Carynne smiled at her. "How about we go into town today, and then we can go sailing tomorrow?"

"That sounds like fun. Could we just take the whole day and do a long sailing trip?" Siara asked Ryan.

"Sure. I'll go talk to the guy who's minding it for my dad's friend today. Make sure everything's ready to go. You know, if we want, we could make it a two-day trip. We could either sleep on the boat or we could sail out to one of the small groups of islands and stay there overnight."

"Do we need to make reservations for those islands? To stay there, I mean?" Stacey asked.

"No. There's no resorts there or anything, at least not as far as I know. We can just stay on the beach and sleep."

"Just out in the open like that?"

"Uh-huh!" Ryan said, obviously excited about the idea. "Come on, it'll be awesome."

Stacey looked a little perturbed at the idea, but she finally nodded her agreement. "If I get any weird kind of disease, though, I'm kicking your ass!"

"City kids!" Ryan laughed. "You'll be fine, princess. Trust me."

Stacey mock-glowered at him for a second, then she got a huge smile on her face. "Okay, it does sound like fun."

"Cool, then let's go shopping!" Carynne said, and everyone quickly got up to go get changed.

*** ***

The town of Nassau was a source of amazement for the West Coast teens. The bustling crowds, the relaxed attitude, and the overall friendliness of the people were all wonderful, and the town had amazing charm. Almost every minute one of them would 'ooh' or 'aah' at something, quickly nudging the others to show them whatever had caught their attention, usually some wonderfully preserved building that was built centuries ago. The five girls themselves drew just as much attention, of course, what with all of them wearing short skirts and small tank tops, showing off distracting amounts of skin and snugly enveloped tits, especially in Kelsey's case. Carynne had been the sole exception, choosing to wear a tiny pink tube top instead; her practically naked torso was almost continuously ogled by every man within fifty feet of her. Ryan and Damon were pretty much constantly hard from walking near so much female sexiness.

They'd visited several souvenir shops—buying a large amount of trinkets to bring to their families back home—then they'd had lunch and relaxed on a cozy little terrace that bordered on a huge town square.

In the middle of the square, two randomly assembled teams were playing a strange sport that neither Damon nor Ryan had ever seen, and it held their attention the whole time while they ate. It seemed a peculiar mixture of volleyball and trampoline jumping. The entire field was set on a giant trampoline, with a net in the middle, and the participants were all pulling off the craziest and wildest stunts to kick the ball over the net in their efforts to score points. A huge crowd surrounded the field, and everyone seemed to be laughing, yelling and cheering in equal amounts.

"Excuse me, what sport is that?" Ryan eventually asked their waitress, a pretty, dark-haired girl not much older than he was.

"I believe it is called Bossa Ball. I think they began playing it sometime last year, and now it is this big thing that everybody seems to want to do," she explained while smiling at him. She'd been flirting fairly obviously with both swimmers ever since they'd sat down. Amanda and Siara had simply grinned at the boys' slight discomfort, making no attempt whatsoever to stop the girl.

"It looks pretty damn awesome," Ryan said determinedly. He thanked the waitress, then he stood up and motioned for Damon to get up. "Come on, man, let's see if they'll let us play!"

"Play? Are you out of your mind? Those guys are doing somersaults like twenty feet in the air!" Damon objected.

"So what? That's what the trampoline's for! Doesn't it look like fun?"

"A fun way to break your neck in a hurry, yeah!"

"Stop being such a fucking pussy," Ryan grinned. He and Damon had become pretty good friends in just a few days time, and they'd quickly begun ragging each other.

"Blow me. Why do you need to play this game so badly anyways?"

"Because he has to do absolutely everything there is to do on the whole bloody planet!" Siara sighed in a despairing tone of voice. "It can't be extreme enough to suit his fancy!"

Ryan just laughed at her and shrugged. "You only live once, baby. Gotta enjoy every moment!"

Siara threw up her hands in surrender. "Whatever, Ryan. Just be a good dear and try not to fall off the trampoline? I'd hate to have to call your father and explain to him that after you've been para-gliding, glacier skiing, and deep-sea diving, you finally landed in the infirmary from something that a six-year-old does."

Ryan just laughed harder, and he pulled Damon out of his seat; then, the two of them walked towards the playing field. The last thing the girls heard was Damon adamantly saying, "I'm not doing any of those fucking stunt-jumps!"

"Well, now that we've gotten rid of that lot, what shall we girls do?" Siara asked teasingly.

"I've got some ideas, but they'll probably object to us doing that here on this terrace," Stacey grinned.

"I think there was a nice little swim wear shop just a couple of streets back that way," Carynne said. "Kel and I are going to hop in there and find me a new bikini, okay?"

"I'll come with you," Siara said. "I could do with a new bikini myself."

"That pink one of yours looks pretty spectacular to me," Stacey said sweetly. Siara just gave her another one of her beautiful smiles, and Stacey practically felt herself melt. She wanted the British girl so badly she could almost taste it.

"I think I'm going to go watch Damon play," Amanda said quietly.

"Oh, come with us, Amanda, please?" Stacey asked. She'd recognized her opportunity as soon as Damon and Ryan had walked off to go play the silly game, and the last thing she needed was for Amanda to not go with the rest of them.

"Well..." Amanda hesitated.

"Please? It won't be long, and you can watch Damon play afterwards. Please? For me?"

"Okay," Amanda finally said after several long moments.

"Good!" Stacey said happily. She settled the check with the waitress, then the five of them walked over towards the small shop that was down one of the side streets, a few blocks away from the town square. It seemed like a typical tourist trap, with racks upon racks of items adorned with "Greetings from Nassau!" standing outside the window.

"Hello ladies," said the shop's employee—a stunning, twenty-something girl with long, black hair down to her waist—when the group of girls entered to the sound of a merrily jingling bell.

"Hi!" Carynne said, smiling brightly at the girl and taking the time to thoroughly check her out. "Wow, I absolutely love your skin. I wish I could get a tan like that, it's just gorgeous!"

Kelsey couldn't help but laugh quietly at her girlfriend. Carynne would never let an opportunity to flirt pass by, though she had to admit that the girl's light chocolate-colored skin was beautiful.

The girl seemed surprised for a second, then she returned Carynne's smile. "Thank you. Is there anything I can help you find?"

"I need a black bikini. A really skimpy one," Carynne said impishly.

"Well, we certainly have plenty of those," the girl grinned, walking out from behind the counter and motioning Carynne towards several racks of bikinis near the dressing areas.

Carynne and Siara went to check out the swim wear, while Stacey, Kelsey and Amanda just sauntered through the store, browsing through stuff ranging from clothes to sporting goods to small home appliances. It took Carynne about ten minutes of careful searching before she found two bikinis she really liked; then, she waved at Kelsey to come help her fit them.

Kelsey was about to go over when she felt Stacey's hand on her shoulder. She gave her friend a curious look.

"Do you remember what happened in Stars when we went to go buy those all-star cheerleader outfits for Damon's semi-finals?" Stacey asked quietly, with a wicked little smile on her face.

Kelsey closed her eyes and felt her heart begin to thud heavily. She did indeed remember what had happened in Stars that day; it was one of the hottest things she'd ever done in her entire life. "Yeah," she said, her voice husky.

"You want to do it again?" Stacey asked.

Kelsey shivered at the thought, but she hesitated for several seconds. Before she could say anything, she suddenly felt Stacey's hand slip underneath her skirt and teasingly scrape over her ass. "Stace, what are you doing?" she whispered insistently.

"I can't keep my hands off that incredible ass of yours. Can you blame me?" Stacey grinned. Letting her hand reach further, she practically hissed with pleasure when she realized Kelsey wasn't wearing any panties. "Nothing underneath today, baby?"

"Carynne didn't want me to," Kelsey moaned, right as she felt Stacey's finger sliding inside her pussy. "Oh fuck, Stace!"

"I love what a good girl you are, always doing what Carynne or I tell you to do," Stacey purred. "You love that too, don't you? You love being a good girl."

"Yes..."

"I want you to take Carynne into that dressing room and let her fuck you, baby. Let her ride herself off all over your face. I want to see you covered in her juice," Stacey whispered sensually while slowly sliding the full length of her finger in and out of Kelsey's rapidly moistening cunt. She loved the way Kelsey's pussy was gripping her finger almost desperately.

Kelsey let out a loud groan, and she nodded quickly. "But what about Siara and Amanda?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it," Stacey moaned softly, letting her tongue trail over Kelsey's ear.

Kelsey shuddered and blushed a gorgeous red, then she quickly walked over to Carynne. She grabbed her girlfriend by the wrist and practically dragged her to the fitting room which was located behind a small black curtain off to the side of the store.

If the girl who minded the store had any objection to both girls going into the fitting room together, she didn't show it; instead she just continued to help Siara, who was still looking for a new bikini of her own.

Stacey waited a few minutes until she was sure that Kelsey and Carynne would be all over each other, then she walked over to Amanda and gently wrapped her arm around Amanda's shoulders. "Hey hon, how are you doing?"
