Lisa Ch. 07b: Jessica

As Jessica gathered her bags from the back of the SUV, and the other girls transferred theirs to their respective cars Jessica smiled so much she thought her face would break. She felt like she had known these girls her whole life ... almost like they were her sisters ... which according to them they practically were. By virtue of being in the clan ... and Jessica hadn't considered herself part of the clan but, by marrying clan members apparently she was a clan member, Jessica was now related to these girls.

"Hey, how'd it go?" Jim asked. He and Josh showed up out of nowhere and took her bags.

"Great! Absolutely great!" Jessica exclaimed.

"You look great!" Josh said noticing the light smattering of make-up Jessica wore.

"You do ..." Jim agreed.

"You don't know the half of it." Jessica said, wondering what they'd say when they saw her perfectly coiffed pussy ... and felt her incredibly smooth from waxing, legs.

"Really? ... Really?" Josh asked suddenly getting her meaning and letting his eyes stray to her crotch. "You didn't ..." Jim asked.

"Not completely." Jessica said. "But let's just say, it's neater now."

Jim glanced around at Leah, Amanda, Justine and Sara who were still putting away their loot ... oblivious to the conversation that he Josh and Jessica were having.

"Can we see?" Jim asked.

"Of course you can ... oh, but not now!" Jessica added when Jim reached for her and she realized he'd literally meant now.

"Not here, in the bathroom ..." Jim said, licking his lips.

Jessica giggled. "We have visitors ... wouldn't that be rude?"

"They don't have to know ..." Josh said.

Jessica giggled again and realized that Jim and Josh were serious.

"Um ... how about later, once everyone's gone home?" Jessica flicked her eyes at the girls who were now closing their trunks and about ready to return. "Please?" she added when it seemed nothing was getting through Jim and Josh's one track minds.

"Okay." Jim finally said, "Sorry ... I guess I got a little carried away ..."

"That's okay. But let's not say anything to the others until everyone's gone home. I'm not sure I could get them to see reason."

Jim and Josh nodded but didn't seem interested in giving her any space.

In fact, when Leah asked, "where is everyone?" Jim and Josh practically glued themselves to either side of Jessica, wrapped their an arm around her back, each sliding a hand into one of the pockets on her the bum cheeks of her jeans.

"Out back." Josh said, "We're building a fire ... having some roasted sausage for dinner. We figure we can have a campfire jam after."

"Cool." Leah said, and looked from Jim to Josh, and back again. Waiting for them to do something. The other girls did too.

"Go ahead on back." Jim finally said, "we'll take Jessica's things in and join you in a minute."

"Okay ..." Leah said, looking suspiciously at the huge nervous smile Jessica had plastered on her face. "Are you going to be okay?" she asked Jessica.

"Oh yeah, yeah, fine never better." Jessica said in a rush. "Go on back, we'll be there in a minute."

"You realize." Leah said, looking pointedly at Jim and Josh, "that by marrying Jessica you made her part of our family. Which means, her happiness and well-being is of great importance to us. You're not going to do anything that Jessica may not like, are you?"

"What?" Jim asked in surprise. "Of course we're not."

"Okay, fine. Just remember that no means no." she said. "Come on, let's go find the others." She said to the other girls. With what could only be described as warning glares, the other girls fixed their eyes on Jim and Josh, winked at Jessica, and then moved past them to toward the back of the house.

"What the hell was that?" Jim demanded.

"I don't know." Jessica said equally, but pleasantly surprised.

"I do."Josh said, "Jessica you look like you're about to be eaten alive by a couple of sharks. They probably think Jim and I are going to ravage you against your will."

"Oh, sorry." Jessica said looking from Jim to Josh, "But I did kind of get the feeling that maybe you would want to have sex. And right now, I really don't. To me this is friend time."

"Right." Jim said, "Guilty as charged and not really proud of it. I guess I'm curious about what you look like down there now, but we'll wait. Look the real reason we came down here was to warn you that Corey and Sean don't have exactly the same repertoire as we do. They play more country slash old rock type songs ... some are almost hickish."

"That's fine." Jess said, "I don't care, just so long as we're playing and singing, I'm happy."

"Alright. Well head back with Josh then. I'll take your stuff in."

"Thanks." Jessica said, kissing Jim. "And I promise, it'll be worth the wait."

Josh took Jessica's hand and they went behind the house to the field where a huge fire danced in a fire pit and a surprisingly large group of people surrounded the fire.

"Jess, this is Don, Mark, Stan and Chris." Josh said, introducing her to four men who sat near Corey and Sean.

"Hi," Jessica said and looked at Justine tilting her head toward Mark. The boy that Justine said she liked was named Mark, and this guy looked young enough to be closer to Justine's age. The other three looked to be the same age as Jim or Josh and Scott. Justine nodded.

"Pleased to meet you." Jessica said and wondered how she could make it so Justine was sitting next to Mark.

"So how was your day?" Scott asked pulling Jessica onto his lap.

"Fine." Jessica said and then noticed Angus and Riley staring at her. She vaguely wondered if they had some kind of built in pubic hair detectors because their eyes were raking over her as if they knew something was different. And Jim was still in the house, Josh had come with her ... they couldn't possibly have heard from either one of them about her modified pubic hair. "Better than fine actually." She added.

"That's great." Scott said and squeezed her thigh. They knew. They definitely knew.

"I ... I have some things to show you ... later." She added emphasizing the word later.

"Hey, are we going to roast those sausages or what?" Corey asked, "I'm fucking starving!"

"The sausages are in the cooler there, sticks are next to the coolers." Jim said walking into the light of the fire pit. He had Jessica's guitar in one hand. "Jess." He lifted it, "I'll put it over here till after dinner."

"Thanks."

Everyone was gathering around the cooler.

When Jessica moved to join them Scott wrapped his arms around her and held her in place. She looked at him in surprise, but he just winked at her.

"I got yours Jess." Riley said so Jessica settled back against Scott.

"So, the girls mentioned some interesting wax jobs that you all had done." Scott said into her ear.

Jessica nodded, took a deep breath, and brought her hand up to cup Scott's cheek. "Scott, can we talk about that later? I'd really like to just hang out with our guests right now."

He looked at her for a moment and then nodded. "Okay. This is your time ... got it. But later ..."

Jessica smiled. "Later. Anything you want. I promise."

"Here Jess." Riley brought her a roasted sausage.

"You know what?" Scott said when Jessica looked over at the fire with longing. "Can you roast mine for me?" Scott asked. "I'll hold onto yours till you get back."

"Sure!" Jessica said springing from his lap and moving to the fire pit. "She didn't want me to roast it for her?" Riley asked.

"I think maybe we're smothering her a little." Scott said. "Let's hang back, let her enjoy herself. I have it on good authority that there's some good sex time coming our way later."

"Did she really wax her pussy?" Angus asked coming to sit next to Scott with his cooked sausage.

"Apparently." Scott said.

"And we're supposed to make it through the night knowing that?" Angus demanded.

"Apparently." Riley said.

"She's sure having a good time." Jim said finding a space on a chair next to Riley and watching Jessica standing around the fire, joking and laughing with all the others who were roasting their sausages.

"Yeah ..." Josh agreed, also finding a chair to plop into.

"She's definitely smiling a lot." Scott agreed.

"Okay, no smothering." Riley said. "But I'm not promising anything once everyone leaves."

"Ditto." Angus said and bit into his sausage.

An hour later Jessica put her guitar down. They'd been playing and singing for an hour straight and were now taking a break for food, drink and bodily functions. Jim had gone to get her a rum and coke so Jessica had time to herself. She looked over at the far side of the campfire circle and saw the men still sitting there. They hadn't moved for the whole hour. They watched, seemed to be having a good time but Jessica had the distinct impression that they were removing themselves from the evening.

Jessica moved to them.

"Hey." Scott said. He'd watched her approaching and Jessica could see that he was steeling himself for something. The others seemed to be doing the same. Angus had downed his drink and produced a bottle of whisky to pour more.

"Hi," Jessica said. She took the glass from Angus' hand and slid onto his lap. He looked worried, holding his arms away from her and then waving them around parts of her body as if he couldn't decide where to put them. Finally he settled on the small of her back and her knee. Jessica sniffed his drink, and took a sip. "Yuck ..." she said handing it back to him.

"Here Jess." Jim said arriving with her rum and coke.

"Thanks." Jessica said taking it. "So are you guys okay?" she asked. Angus sat at the end of their row of chairs, so sitting like she was she could see all of them.

"Yeah, of course." Riley said.

"And you're awesome." Josh added. "You're all real talented."

"They are good aren't they?" Jessica asked looking toward the now vacated chairs.

"You're having a good time, right?" Scott asked.

"A great time. But it would be a lot better if you guys were having a good time."

"We are." Scott said.

"A great time, we're having a great time." Angus added.

"But you're not really participating." Jessica said. "It's kind of hard to have a good time when you're sitting on the outside watching."

"Yeah, well ... " Riley said and Jessica got worried.

"You're okay with this right? I mean, it was your idea."

"Sure, of course we are. Do you really think any of this would be happening if we weren't okay with it?" Angus asked.

"Then why are you guys sitting over here when all the fun is over there?" Jessica asked. "Are you mad at me?" Jessica asked when the men didn't answer.

"Mad at you?" Angus barked, "Just how do you draw that conclusion?"

"I don't know. You're acting kind of weird, like you're staying away from me on purpose. Maybe I did something? The jealousy thing, or the wax job? I promise, not all of the hair is gone ..."

"Oh my God!" Angus growled, tightening his arms around Jessica and closing his eyes. Jessica looked at him in surprise.

"It'll grow back ..." she added quietly.

"That's not it." Angus said opening his eyes and Angus' desire was smoldering in them ... and Jessica could feel his erection against her. "All I want to do is jump you Jessica. Yes we're staying away from you ... so you can have fun. There's nothing that I want to do with you right now that is appropriate around company."

Jessica looked at the others and they looked equally aroused.

"Well, I guess you're not mad at me then." Jessica said with a light laugh.

"Not even close." Riley said.

Jessica sighed.

"Isn't there a way that you can think of me as just a friend for a while?" She asked. "Like you do when we work out? I mean, I really want you guys to join us. And have fun. These are your friends. Please?"

"I don't think I can just be friends with you Jess." Scott said. "I need to touch you all the time. I can't just turn it off."

"Could you just pretend that I'm a guy? One of you? Just for a few hours?"

"A guy?" Josh asked. "You're kidding right?"

"No." Jessica said, "I can even talk in a real low voice." She added, lower her voice several octaves.

"Oh no, no." Riley said, "Don't ever do that again! Ugh." He shook his head and shuddered.

Jessica giggled.

"Does this really mean that much to you?" Scott asked.

"Yes. I really want you guys to join us. I mean, Jim can do it." Jessica said waving her hand at Jim who was standing and watching the whole exchange.

"But Jim also feels like he's your brother half the time." Angus said. "It's easy for him."

"I think you're missing the point entirely." Jim said.

"Then enlighten us oh wise one." Angus grumbled.

"You can be in a relationship and have separate friendships too." Jim said, "It all boils down to a little self-control. You don't have to pretend Jessica is just a friend, or a guy, or your sister. Just let her make her friendships while you're maintaining yours. If you concentrate on your friends then you won't be horny all the time. Wise enough for you?" He asked when the men stared at him.

"Wise ass." Riley mumbled.

"So what you're saying." Scott said, "Is that we treat Jessica as our wife but in a social setting ... which translates to stop thinking about her being naked."

"Ding ding ding ... you get what's being door number two." Jim said pointing his finger at Scott.

"Hey guys, you coming?" Don called. Everyone had returned to their seats and had their instruments ready.

"Come on!" Jessica said jumping off of Angus' lap, grabbing his hand and pulling.

"Okay, okay." Angus said getting up and grabbing his chair. "I'll try ... but don't blame me if I jump you in front of everyone. I'm kidding!" he added when Jessica looked back at him in horror.

All of the men moved closer and Jessica moved her seat between Angus and Josh before they started playing and singing again. For Jessica, the rest of the night went by in an ecstatically happy blur.

***********************************************************

Jessica didn't even hesitate. She just stepped right out the plane door.

Josh was glad he was attached to an instructor because if Steve hadn't pushed him out the door right behind Jessica and her instructor, Josh wouldn't have left the plane until it was safely on the ground. As it was, it took all of this self-control to keep from screaming as he and Steve plummeted toward the earth.

Josh watched the small dot below him, that he knew was Jessica and Ronald and his life flashed before his eyes. Oddly it seemed as though his life had started when he and Jessica began to get along because that's all he could think about.

And foremost in his mind was how much fun they'd had singing and hanging out the night before. And then the mind blowing sex they'd had once everyone left, and in the morning. They'd pulled out all the stops ... using vibrators, fucking machines, ropes. It'd been wild. And they'd had to skip their work out in order to get to the parachuting instruction on time.

Josh reflected on that. He looked up and saw the other men hurtling towards him and couldn't help but be proud of them again. The instruction of the parachuting had included some very close bodily contact between them and their instructors. Not to mention strap adjustments that had been in the chest area. Jessica had worked with her instructor as if it was the most natural thing in the world. And luckily for her, the men were able to control themselves. Not once was there a tense moment. He didn't know how they'd done it ... but they had.

Suddenly he felt the jerk of the parachute as Steven pulled the chord, and the rest of the ride down was relatively peaceful and Josh could enjoy it rather than worry about impending death.

When Josh landed he could see Jessica helping Ronald roll up the parachute and she was laughing.

She stopped to watch the other men land and then she ran and jumped into Josh's arms.

"Wasn't that great?" she yelled and she had a crazed look in her eye that Josh was sure other people would mistake as being the result of a large ingestion of drugs. Cocaine likely ... or maybe LSD. "And I'm so proud of you! You're afraid of heights but you jumped anyway!" and she peppered him with kisses.

"To be honest, I was pushed." Josh said and Jessica laughed.

"That was incredible!" Scott said, coming to join them.

"What a rush." Jim agreed.

"I shit my pants." Angus grumbled.

"Yeah. Jess that was an experience I'll grant you that." Riley said, "But next time I'll be watching from the ground."

Jessica jumped up and down, clapping her hands. She was so psyched.

"You sure have the right instincts." Ronald said to Jessica, coming to join them with the other instructors. "You knew exactly when to pull the chord, you're a natural."

"You pulled your own chord?" Angus barked.

"She asked to." Ronald said, "But I was the back-up ... which turned out to be unnecessary. Great job." Ronald said and patted Jessica on the shoulder. Jessica beamed.

"Okay." Jim said, snapping his phone shut, "We gotta pay up now or else we won't have time for the track."

"Come with me." Ronald said and Jim followed the instructors while Jessica and the men removed the overalls they were wearing over their clothes.

Ten minutes later Jim, Riley, Jessica and Scott piled into one of the cars, Josh and Angus were in the second. As they shut the doors Riley rolled his eyes at Jim again, and Jim winked at Jessica. Jessica for her part was very confused.

When they were leaving the house that morning everyone assumed they'd take Jessica's SUV. But Jim insisted that they would not, arguing that after the track they would have to go their separate ways and so they needed a second vehicle. So the men agreed to take one of the cars, and the SUV. But again, Jim insisted on two cars. The men argued that the SUV was more fuel efficient than either of their piece of shit cars, but Jim had insisted, throwing in excuses like someone would throw odds and ends into a stew consisting of nothing but left overs. At one point he'd said something about the SUV getting too dirty on the dirt roads to the airport and the motor bike track.

Finally in exasperation, and due to lack of time for arguing, the men gave up and they'd taken the cars. Jim had winked at Jessica then too. And she had absolutely no idea why.

"So, sorry again." Jim said as they turned onto the paved road, "But I only have two bikes. One of you can ride mine if you want."

"It's okay Jim." Riley said, "I think we had enough excitement for one day. We'll just watch."

"I'm just worried about this track." Scott said, "The clan uses it a lot. I don't really want to run into anyone we know here."

"They're usually on the track." Jim said, "Not usually too many spectators standing around. It should be okay."

"If you say so." Scott said.

An hour later the men had been watching Jessica and Jim circle the dirt circuit. Jessica certainly knew how to handle a bike. And as expected, she had no issues with speed. She had this funny habit of circling on the spot before taking off which created just enough dust that once it settled observers would get the impression that she had disappeared into thin air, when in reality she'd gotten so far so fast that it took a while to find her slight figure in the green and white riding suit, flying over the ridges of the moguls. Watching the riders whiz by and handle the less than hospitable terrain held the mens' attention and time slipped by unnoticed. At one point Jim pulled up alongside Jessica and motioned at his wrist. Jessica nodded and they slowed, and pulled over to the side. And then a group of four riders pulled alongside them and seemed to be speaking to them. Jim shook his head a few times but then Jessica seemed to be saying something and Jim looked like he was resigned to something. And then the four men took off. Jessica spun in a circle and took off after them. Jim shook his head, and followed her. To the men watching it became pretty clear that Jim and Jessica were involved in a race of some kind. The four other riders kept trying to stay in the lead. Jessica, with Jim struggling to keep up, made her way past three of them and then seemed to be having a standoff of sorts with the fourth. They were going at incredibly high speeds that in no way looked safe. Finally, rounding a corner, Jessica pulled through the turn, but the other rider slid out and hit the bales of hay that lined the inner wall of the track. Jessica looked over her shoulder, slowed and turned around. Jumping off her bike she ran over to the other rider and helped him up.
