Chapter Three
"Where
are the kids?" asked Karen, looking
around. She'd been trying to concentrate on the game, but kept thinking
about
what his arms around her had felt like.
"Over
there," said Bob, pointing.
"Okay,"
she said. "Thanks for keeping
an eye on them."
What
Bob had been doing was keeping an eye on Karen. She
filled those jeans she was wearing really well when she bent over to
putt. And
the T shirt she was wearing molded to her upper body in interesting
ways. He
was getting a little stiff in his own jeans, but they were made of
heavy denim,
so he wasn't too worried about it. Not yet, anyway. But he had
occasionally
glanced to see where the kids were. It wasn't hard, what with them
being
relatively close.
On
the next hole they passed each other, the kids
going one way while the adults went the other. They greeted each other
with
smiles, and then parted again, one couple having a conscious desire to
be
"alone" again, and the other an unacknowledged desire for the same
thing.
The
game progressed at a sedate pace, which meant each
couple got to talk a lot. The ease of the conversation increased, as
usually
happens when two people are comfortable in each other's presence, and
they are
attracted to each other.
Again,
it wasn't intentional, but the attraction grew.
It's easy for that to happen when there isn't already a romantic agenda
in
mind.
By
the end of the night, as they walked back to the
car, Karen's hand bumped into Bob's, and his reached to take her
fingers. It
was a simple expression of emotion, but it made her nipples crinkle in
her bra
again. They finished the walk with fingers interlaced.
The
kids, who had lagged behind their parents, also
saw this.
And
Amanda reached to do the same thing with Jack's
hand.
When
they got to Karen's house, she told Jack that he
could say goodnight to Amanda on the front porch.
"I
want to talk to Bob for a second," she
said.
The
kids were happy to oblige. The porch was thirty
feet away, and the only light was from the street light across the
street.
Bob
sat, turned toward Karen in the relative darkness
of the car.
"I
had fun tonight," she said, leaning
toward him slightly.
"Me
too," he responded.
"I
haven't had fun in a long time. I'm glad we
did this."
"You
mean chaperone the kids?" He grinned.
"I'd
like to do this without having to chaperone
the kids," she said.
"Play
miniature golf?" he teased.
"Something
like that," she said.
"I'm
sure we can work something out."
"Good.
Call me?"
"Absolutely,"
he said.
Then
he leaned over and kissed her good night.
This
kiss was no polite peck. It was an exchange in
which soft lips communicated a yearning that both felt, but neither was
yet
comfortable putting into words. It went on for a good twenty seconds,
and even
then they pulled away from each other reluctantly.
"We
will definitely work something out," he
said.
"I'm
looking forward to it," she said, her
voice husky.
"What
are they doing?" asked Jack, who felt
something he didn't recognize in his gut. Had someone told him he had
an
evolutionary concern for his mother's well-being, or that there might
be some
Oedipal influences in his life, he would have said they were crazy.
"It
looks like they're kissing each other good
night," said Amanda, literally.
"You
want to try it again?" asked Jack,
hopefully. His concern for his mother vanished, and a different concern
entered
his mind.
"Yes,"
said Amanda. "But this time
let's try not to bounce off of each other."
Again
Jack put his hands on Amanda's waist, and with
much less trouble they brought their lips together. Some instinct
helped them
relax their lips, which made this kiss something entirely different
than their first one had been.
It
affected each of them in similar ways. Their bodies
reacted. Had Mother Nature been endowed with human features, she might
have
smiled indulgently, as another potential mating pair moved closer
toward the
ultimate goal she had in mind.
When
they broke the kiss and opened their eyes, those
eyes opened wider than usual.
"Wow,"
sighed Amanda.
"That
was cool," said Jack.
"Much
better," said Amanda.
"I
agree," said Jack. Then, as he felt a
familiar erection bloom in his pants, he said, "I gotta go,"
nervously.
"Yeah.
Me too," said Amanda, who was
experiencing feelings she'd never felt before. Those feelings didn't so
much
make her nervous, as curious. She had touched herself before,
experimentally. That
had felt good, and she'd done it many times since then. She'd never
thought of
any particular male when she did that before. And the urge to touch
herself in
that way was still relatively infrequent.
Right
now, though, she wanted to go home and do that
while she thought about Jack. And that kiss. She wondered if that would
change
what it felt like to rub her bump.
"See ya!" she yipped, suddenly full of
energy, and skipped down the walk to the car, where Karen was just
opening her
door to get out of the car.
Karen exchanged places with
Amanda, who got in beside her father, leaving Karen standing outside.
"Night,"
said Karen, whose mind was still
churning from the intensity of her good night kiss.
"Thanks,"
said Amanda, who could not have
articulated what she was thanking Mrs. Ross for.
Karen backed away from the car as the door began to
close, and heard Amanda's excited voice say, "Let's go, Daddy!"
She
heard the excitement and joy in the girl's voice,
and felt those emotions mirrored inside herself.
She
knew she was going to need to use her vibrator
again tonight, and turned to hurry up the walk.
Most
of the residents of Cole Camp, where Bob and
Karen had made their homes, would have characterized their town as
boring at
best. Nothing ever happened there, and there was no excitement to spice
up the
lives of the townsfolk.
And,
to be honest, as most of those people went to bed
that night, they would have been telling the truth. For the vast
majority of
them, all that happened was that they got into their pajamas, brushed
their
teeth, turned off the light, and crawled into bed. Soon they would
sleep and
the night would pass without incident.
But
in two houses, one on Moro street, and the other
on Elderberry Lane, nobody could go to sleep at all, because there was
excitement in spades.
Jack
Ross was a pretty normal guy, and that meant he'd
had an erection off and on for much of the night. He liked Amanda
Thurlow a
lot, and tonight had convinced him that she was more interesting than
some of
the other girls he'd been thinking about. He skipped the brushing of
the teeth
part, and since he slept in his underwear, changing into a new pair
when he got
up and showered each day, all that was left was the turning out of the
light
and the going to bed part. He was old enough that he had begun to
forget, occasionally,
the give-your-mother-a-good-night-hug-and-kiss part.
His
mother wasn't so forgetful, and that was when
something crazy happened.
His
mom did wear
pajamas to bed. Actually, she wore pajama bottoms and one of several
oversized
T shirts she used just for sleeping in. She had already changed into
them. There
was nothing unusual about that. Nor were her words odd when she said,
"Come here, little man, and give me a hug before you run off to
Dreamland."
That
was all as normal as pie. He did have to take his
shirt with him, to drape in front of his boner, which had maintained
its
rigidity since he kissed Amanda good night, and showed clearly through
his
jockeys. But that was just dealing with a little problem. What was
noteworthy
that night was that the hug he got was a little different from past
ones.
It
lasted longer, for one thing. A lot longer. And
while it was lasting a lot longer, Jack Ross paid attention to his
mother's
breasts, where their warm masses pressed into his chest. He'd noticed
her
breasts before, of course. But he'd never been particularly interested
in
feeling them against him. That happened when he got hugs, but it was no
big
deal.
But
now, his attention towards members of the opposite
gender had been sharply heightened. He'd felt Amanda's breasts pressed
against
him earlier, and now another pair was right there, mashed between them,
with
only a single layer of cloth separating them from his chest. He didn't
think of
them as "Mom's boobs." They were simply boobs. In fact, there for a
few seconds, he didn't think of her as "Mom" at all. That might have
had something to do with the fact that he didn't hold his loins away
from her
during that hug.
"Did
you have a good time tonight?" she
asked him, maintaining the hug even longer. Her own emotions caused her
to want
to hug a male she liked.
"Yeah,"
he said, realizing that his boner
was just then touching his mother. He separated them at the hips, but
those
warm breasts felt really good against him.
She
felt that hard column of flesh pressing against
her, and recognized it for what it was. That astonished her for a few
seconds.
Then she rationalized it. He was sixteen. He was normal. Boys that age
experienced that condition frequently. She just hadn't thought of her
son as
being that kind of "normal" before this. It didn't unnerve her. But
it did bring her thoughts back to Bob.
"Me
too," she said, as her son pulled his
loins away from her. "Are you going to ask her out again?"
"I
want to," he said.
"It's
okay with me if you do," she said.
"Will
you go with us next time?" he asked.
"Of
course," she said.
"You
don't have to," he suggested.
"Nice try, Bucko," she said, squeezing him
hard enough that his loins ... and that erection ... came into contact
with her
thigh again. She knew who had caused that tumescence, and that Amanda
would
likely cause it again. The fact that his penis was hard could be a ...
teachable moment.
"That,"
she said, bumping her leg against
his boner, "is the reason why chaperoning you is so important."
With horror Jack realized she knew! She had felt it. He
wanted to crawl in a hole
and die.
"I'm
sorry," he said, barely keeping a sob
from escaping.
She
pushed him away, but held onto his shoulders.
"Baby,"
she crooned. "You don't have to
be sorry for being normal. There's nothing wrong with you." She
resisted
the urge to look down at the front of his shorts. "That kind of thing
happens, and there's nothing shameful about it. But that's why I don't
want you
to be alone with a girl. Things can get out of hand."
It
was a pivotal moment in their relationship. His
embarrassment was still stark, but her acceptance of him as a "man"
brought a relief so strong that his cock actually twitched in his
briefs. He
felt a surge of affection so strong that tears did leak from his eyes.
Thanks,"
he whispered.
"You're
growing up," she said. "I
understand that."
Suddenly,
she wondered what her son would do to deal
with his "problem." Did he already know what to do? Had he done it
before? Her mind told her that of course he'd done that before. Didn't
all boys
do that? But the concept of "Jack" as her son, and the concept of a
boy doing that in the dark, just didn't meld. She wasn't ready for
that. She
could deal with him having an erection, but wasn't ready to reflect on
what he
did to make it go away.
"Go
on to bed," she said, letting go of his
shoulders. She was saved from the temptation to drop her eyes when he
brought
the shirt in his hands to cover the front of his shorts.
"Okay.
Night, Mom."
"I
love you, Honey," she said, feeling a
surge of emotion.
"I
love you too. See you in the morning."
He
turned and hurried toward his bedroom. Karen
watched him go and then followed, her own bedroom just beyond his. For
some
reason she looked down and felt some embarrassment of her own. Her
nipples were
rock hard, and the twin peaks they made in the front of her T shirt
were
obvious. Had he seen them?
Suddenly
she didn't care.
Her
primary concern at that moment was whether or not
the batteries in her vibrator still had enough charge in them to banish
the
ache in her pussy.
Not
so far away the evening ritual in the Thurlow
residence was taking place in a similar manner.
Mandy
felt jumpy, and full of energy as she got ready
to put on her jammies. She paused to look herself over in the full
length
mirror on the back of her door. Her critical eye took in the curves she
had so
hoped for years to develop. Her breasts were cones, topped by beige
areolas
with slightly darker nipples. Those nipples were harder than usual,
poking out
from the tips of her breasts, and they still tingled. Idly, her fingers
came to
squeeze each one and the electric zings that produced shocked her.
She
looked at her pubic hair, which was sparse and
reddish brown. Her head hair was more blonde, and she'd never
understood why
her pubes were darker.
Like
many girls, she perceived flaws in her
appearance. But tonight that wasn't her primary concern. Jack liked her! And that kiss had been
fantastic! She couldn't wait to do
that again.
But
of course she would have to. There wouldn't be
another date for ... she didn't know how long! But however long it was,
that
was how long it would be before she could kiss Jack again.
There
was something
she could do now, though. Well, as soon as she got her good night hug
and kiss
from her father.
She
slipped into her PJs and went to find him. He was
in his bathroom, but that had never been a problem before. Modesty in
their
house was a casual concept. And to find him staring into his
mirror wasn't unusual either. He had been complaining lately
that gray hairs were creeping into his neatly trimmed beard.
What
was different tonight was that the front of his
PJs was obscenely stretched out. It looked like he'd stuffed a cucumber
in
them. Her adolescent mind raced, and the reason for that lump leapt
into her
mind.
"You
must have had a good time tonight," she
said, thinking literally.
Bob
glanced over at her, saw where her eyes were
looking, and blushed.
"I
did. I'm sorry you had to see the evidence,
though."
"I
don't actually see it," she said, being technical
about it at the same time
as her nipples begged to be squeezed again.
"Did
you have a good time too?" he asked,
trying to change the subject.
"Fantastic,"
she said. Then her head tilted.
"If I was a boy, do you think that would have happened to me too?"
The
concept of her as a boy was impossible for him to
conceive of, so his answer was academic.
"Probably,"
he said.
"Do
you think Jack got that way tonight?"
"I
hope not,"
said Bob.
"So
you like Mrs. Ross?" she said.
"I
guess I do," he admitted.
"I
like Jack too."
Bob
felt like there was a teachable moment here too. Her
casual acceptance of his condition removed some of the embarrassment
he'd felt.
"All
this is normal," he said. "Which
is why Karen and I insist that you and Jack don't need to be alone.
Things
happen, whether you want them to or not. How would you feel if Jack did get like this while he was with
you?"
"That
would be weird," she said, firmly.
"But
what would you do?" he pressed.
"I
don't know. Tell him to stop it?"
"You
don't just stop something like that,"
he said. "Men don't have that kind of control. It's just something the
body does."
"To
get you ready to procreate," she said.
"Exactly,"
he said, thinking he was making a
point.
"So
you want to procreate with Mrs. Ross,"
she said, taking it far beyond what he had in mind for her "lesson."
"This
discussion has gotten off track," he said,
avoiding the issue. "The point is that when a boy and girl are
together,
they can get excited. And that kind of excitement can urge them to do
things
they aren't ready for, yet. That's why Karen and I want to be there
with you,
to help you keep control of things."
"I
get that," she said. "But just so
you know, I still don't want to procreate with Jack."
"I'm
relieved," said Bob, who was telling
the truth.
"We
want to go out again," she said.
"That's
fine," he replied.
"Okay.
Night night."
What
happened then was pure habit. She approached him
and he turned so that they could hug. His erection ground straight into
her
abdomen. It stopped everything as they both froze.
"That
feels weird," she commented, not
pulling away.
"You're
telling me?" he groaned.
"I'm
glad you like her," said Amanda.
"Good
night,"
he said, firmly, giving her a peck on her forehead and pulling his
boner away
from his daughter.
"I
love you," she said, and turned to skip
back to her room.
In
the Ross household, separated by two walls and
fifteen feet, Jack and Karen lay on their beds. Jack's hand was slowly
stroking
his stalk, which felt thicker than usual. It also felt better, as his
thoughts
flickered between the feel of Amanda's lips and body against his, and
the feel
of his mother's warm breasts pressed against him.
When
he finally arched his hips and groaned, semen
shot out of his penis in long, soothing ropes.
Meanwhile,
Karen worked her vibrator in and out of
her, pausing to let the quivering tip circle and abuse her throbbing
clit. It
was good. But it wasn't as good as she knew things could be.
It would be better if she had the real thing in her. She
hadn't thought about that in a long time. The vibrator had always given
her what
she needed.
But
now she needed more.
She
groaned in frustration.
It
took her almost thirty minutes to finally reach an
orgasm that gave her enough relief that she could get to sleep.
Not
so far away, Amanda slipped her hand into her PJ
bottoms and spread her legs. Her thoughts flickered between Jack and
that bulge
in the front of her father's PJs. Would Jack's make a bulge like that
if it was
hard? Had he gotten hard like that?
The
concept of something long and hard began to have
real meaning to her. She'd learned about "erections" but hadn't
really thought about how one might affect her own life. She knew what
an
erection was for ... where it went during sex.
A
searching finger penetrated her vagina. She hadn't been
able to see her father's erection, but it had obviously been big ...
much too
big to fit into what she was now exploring, which was tight around just
her
slim finger. Was Jack's erection smaller? That made sense. He wasn't
fully
grown yet, so maybe his erection wasn't fully grown as well.
The
pad of her hand mashed her bump as she dug deeper,
and a thrill shot through her belly. When she'd played with herself
before
this, it had always felt nice. Now it felt really good.
As
she was having her first, good, fantasy-induced
orgasm, her father was furiously stroking the erection his daughter had
caught
him with.
He
didn't think about Amanda, though.
He
thought about having that erection buried deep in
Karen's silky, hot vagina.
And
he imagined leaving it there while he spurted.
The
third date was a product of the chaperones' take
on things. The first two dates had been roughly three weeks apart. That
had
been intentional, to give new emotions time to calm down. After
Parsons Golf
World, however, the parents weren't so interested in there being a
cooling off
period between dates. The 4th of July happened to fall on the next
Saturday,
and Karen suggested a picnic to watch the town fireworks display. There
was a
section of Boggy Creek that had been reclaimed already, and where a
grassy
sward had been planted in a clearing alongside it. That was as far as
the
reclamation of that part of the creek had gone. There had been some
talk about
making the sward into a park of some kind, but other things had taken
priority.
Now, several years later, the grass was thick and soft.
In
truth, Karen didn't choose that place in an attempt
to have some privacy. She didn't assume that others would pick the same
venue
to watch the show, but it wouldn't have surprised her if others had
shown up.
Others
did not, however, show up, and the double
daters had the area to themselves. This might have had to do with the
fact that
they were three blocks away from where the fireworks would be set off.
They
would not, in fact, be able to see the low level show. But the aerial
bursts
would be plainly visible.
The
emotions felt when they got there and spread out
two blankets on which to sit and eat, were based primarily on the
simple
anticipation of being together and having the picnic. That fireworks
would come
later was great too. But the kids also wanted to explore further, and
that
meant they would need what privacy they could pry from the situation.
The
attempt to secure that came after they ate, when it was getting dark.
"I
think we could see better over there,"
said Amanda, pointing toward the edge of the woods farthest from the
creek.
"I
don't see how that would make that much
difference," said Bob.
"Well,
you two can stay here, then," said
Amanda.
She
got up, gathered a blanket into her arms, and
started marching away from the adults. Jack followed, looking over his
shoulder
to see if his mother objected.
She
didn't. Amanda and Jack weren't the only ones who
wished for a little privacy.
"Let
them go," she said, softly. "They'll
only be right over there."
Suits
me fine," said Bob.
"Though,"
said Karen, carefully, "I
should tell you about something that happened last time."
"You
mean while we were golfing?"
"After
that. After you took us home."
"Okay."
Bob wondered what that could have
been.
"When
we were getting ready for bed, I gave Jack
a good night hug."
"Mmm
hm," said Bob. "We do that
too."
"He
had an ... um ... he was ... uh ... this is
hard to say. I think he likes your daughter a lot, and he sort of
reacted
normally to that."
"He
got a boner?" Bob's eyebrows rose.
"I
wouldn't have used that word," said
Karen, feeling her face flush. "But yes."
Bob
glanced at the kids, who were sitting, Indian
style, facing each other and talking.
"I
guess I shouldn't be surprised," he
sighed.
"I
thought you should know."
He
frowned, but then took the risk.
"How
unhappy would you be if I told you the same
thing happened to me?"
Her
eyes widened. She couldn't help but reflect on how
Dave would have just hauled it out, proudly displayed it, and said
something
like, "Hey, Baby, look what you did to me. Now get naked so we can do
something about it!"
Bob
was an entirely different kind of man, though. Bob's
straightforwardness wasn't crass like that. She pushed Dave out of her
mind. She
didn't want to think about him.
"I
suppose I could live with that," she
said, softly. That sounded suddenly to her ears as if it didn't matter
one way
or another. "Actually, I'd be flattered," she added.
The
relief Bob felt was palpable.
"Thank
you. I was afraid you might be offended. I
mean the purpose of us being here is to keep an eye on them, and I sort
of let
my attention slip."
"I
have to confess I have done the same,"
she confessed.
"What
do you think we should do about that?"
he asked.
She
moved closer to him.
"I
think we should explore it."
"You want to hear something weird?" asked Amanda, once they had spread their blanket and
seated themselves.
"Sure," said Jack.
"My dad got an erection for your mom."
To her it was just information, something worth remarking on. To him it was an indictment of his own reaction to her. Added to that was the concept of his mom and her dad ... doing something. His face went slack and he sat, mute.
"What's wrong?" asked Amanda. "You look mad. Does that make you mad?"
He
jerked back to the present, and was astonished to
find that thinking about his mom and her dad having sex had somehow
created in
him the very condition she had alluded to. His hands went naturally to
cover
his embarrassment. She saw his hands move, but it didn't click. Not then.
"No," he said. "I mean I get it. Mom's really pretty. That kind of thing happens when a guy is around a pretty
woman."
Amanda's mind went back to the concept that, maybe, Jack had
reacted the same way. The irony of the situation was that she had no
idea, yet,
that he was reacting the same way at that
very moment!"
"Am I pretty?" she asked. It was a loaded question, even in her own
mind, but something drove her to ask it.
"Yeah," he said immediately, not thinking about the context in which she might
have asked
the question.
"So ... do you like ... get that way too?" she asked.
This
very direct addressing of these concepts might
seem atypical for kids their age. Young people who tentatively enter
into the
mating rituals normally don't feel secure enough to simply talk about
what they
are doing. Or want to do. True, the male usually develops to a point
where he
is more verbal about his intentions. He gains enough confidence - or is
overcome enough by lust - to suggest that mating take place. Even then,
though,
it usually comes out something like, "Come on. Let's do it. You'll like
it." What happens then depends on where the girl is. If her emotions
rule,
mating may ensue. If her brain is still in control, it may not.
But
this couple approached things from the vantage
point of having been able to talk frankly about things with their
parent. At
least to some degree. And their parents' characterization of sexual urges being "normal" let
them be more comfortable in discussing what each was feeling, and was
curious
about. It wasn't easy ... but it was possible to seek answers to some questions.
"Would you be mad if I did?" asked the boy, in a remarkably similar fashion to the
way her father had responded in his discussion with Jack's mother.
"I don't know. It would be weird, I guess."
"Oh," said Jack, feeling a little depressed. "Weird" didn't usually translate to "good" or "okay."
"So
did
you?"
"My
mom
says it's
normal,"
he said, in his own defense.
"That's
what
my dad said, too,"
she responded.
He
thought of something.
"How
do
you know that happened? I mean with your dad?"
"I
saw
it,"
she said, not thinking that in most other homes that
might be considered as a horrifying concept. She didn't
know
about what went on in other homes. And what went on in her own seemed
normal to
her.
"You
saw it?"
he gasped.
"Well,
not directly,"
she said, sensing that something was amiss.
"He
was
wearing his underwear."
That
calmed Jack. He was used to walking around in his
underwear, and his mother saw him like that all the time.
"Oh,"
he
said. "I
do that too. Walk around in my underwear, I mean."
"Doesn't
everybody?"
"I
don't
know."
"His
looked really big,"
said Amanda. "
Is
yours big?"
This
is an example of how, while they could approach these
intimate subjects,
it wasn't easy to do
so.
"I
don't
know,"
he said, uncomfortably.
"Oh,"
she
said. She didn't
know quite where to go from there. She'd
just
asked the question that had been on her mind.
"Well,
I just thought you'd
want to know that my dad really likes your mom,"
she
said.
"That's
cool,"
said Jack, relieved that they were no longer talking
about his cock.
"Did
you get an erection because of that kiss?" she asked, dragging him kicking and screaming back to
the subject. Since she hadn't
gotten mad at the concept, he just told her the
truth.
"Yeah.
It just sort of happened."
"It was
a really good kiss,"
she said.
"Yes,
it was,"
he agreed.
There
was a moment of silence, and then she scooted
closer to him.
"You
want to do that again?"
"Yeah,
I do,"
he sighed.
Just
then the first firework shot up into the sky,
leaving a trail of sparks. The thundering boom when it went off shook
their
bones and the flash lit up the whole area.
When
Karen had said she thought they should
"explore it", she had meant the relationship in general, not the
fact that Bob had gotten an erection because of her, and that this
erection
business was what should be explored.
He
understood that on one level, but part of his mind
imagined her exploring one of his erections. It was easy to fantasize
about
that because he had a brand new one in his Bermuda shorts within
moments of her
tacit acceptance that he had them for her.
While
he had admitted to having one previously,
however, he did not announce that he'd
developed another one because of her proximity.
Instead,
they talked about relationships in general,
and how each hadn't
really been looking for one. In the process details
about past relationships began to come out. She told him about the hurt
and
pain Dave had caused when he abandoned them. He shared how helpless he'd
felt
when he'd
found his wife in their bed, already cold to the
touch. He'd
stayed up late to grade papers, and felt guilty
about that. If he'd
gone to bed when she did, he was sure it wouldn't
have
happened.
Her
heart went out to him. She knew of post-partum
depression as a concept, but it had never affected her. She'd
loved having a baby. If only Dave could have loved it too.
This
sharing of a most intimate nature brought them
together, both emotionally and physically, as they inched closer
together.
Then
the first aerial bomb went off with a flash that
lit the sky, and a resounding boom that drew their eyes upwards.
It
was only normal to lie down, to make it easier and
more comfortable to watch what was about to happen.
After
that first aerial bomb went off, there was just
enough light left that the kids saw their parents lie down, side by
side, face
up on their blanket.
That
seemed like a good idea, so they lay down side by
side too.
They
looked over at each other and Amanda rolled until
she could get to his lips. Her top arm went over him to keep her in
place.
Then
they explored this kissing thing.
Thirty
feet away Karen's
hand
moved to find Bob's
and they held hands. Emotions flared in each of
them. Another rocket went up and made a red burst in the air.
It
was dark, at least between the bursts of fireworks,
so Bob rolled to land half on top of Karen. When his face sought hers,
she
reacted eagerly.
The
two adults explored the kissing thing too.
