Expectations

T

here was a whole day, warm and windy, between them and nightfall. After some brief discussion, everyone agreed that it’d be best to stay near the resort for the day, and so they stayed grounded on this fifth day in Fiji. After all, there were some amenities they hadn’t yet experienced at the expensive resort they were using as a home base.

One such amenity involved a room much like the one that Liam and Avril had snuck off to yesterday. Professional masseuses were waiting for their time slots to be filled, so Liam and the others swung by the resort’s front desk to see the available times. As it turned out, there was room in the schedule for all of them to receive one today, especially if they paired up. Hardly too outlandish, given the small number of guests who could stay at the resort at any given time.

After a small group huddle, those pairings materialized. The professors, then the current Bellmore students. Each pairing clearly wanted to have some time together, perhaps to discuss the trip, perhaps to discuss what came after it. As no sixth beauty appeared out of thin air to create the ability for a third pairing, that left him, for once, without a feminine partner.

That suited him just fine, as he could hopefully spend his massage learning a thing or two from the professional working on his body. After all, in his goal of becoming more like Anna, he had his list of skills to distinguish himself in.

The professors were first in line, though there was a good hour and a half before their appointment. So, the choice between the beach and the resort’s pool arose. The latter won out in the voting, leading everyone back to their respective bures to change into swimwear.

That purchased Liam a few minutes alone with Victoria, during which she again allowed him to pick which of her bikinis he wanted to see her in.

“We’ll be in a more public place today,” she reminded him as she laid out the options.

“If I could run everyone else off the island but you and the others, I would,” Liam said.

The incredibly buxom professor began to strip down, which immediately distracted him from his task. Noticing this, Victoria smiled faintly. Curiously, she started walking away from him, though all it took was a single finger to drag him after her. Very quickly, he realized where she was heading.

“I don’t doubt it,” the gorgeous woman said, olive skin radiant as she stepped into the sun. “You’ve certainly been quite good at making the most of the opportunities that appear before you.”

Catching her suggestive meaning, Liam’s eyes ripped themselves away from her phenomenal curves long enough to note their destination. The outdoor shower, yet again. She had worked up quite a sweat during the tennis match.

“Can’t wait until later tonight?”

“When there’ll be two women in your grasp?” Victoria asked, glancing over her shoulder. Her gaze speared right through him, dragging him toward her sublime body.

“That’s the idea,” Liam admitted. An admission that no one needed to hear. Everyone knew what he wanted to happen tonight.

Well, no, actually, they didn’t. Not the specifics, at least. Which Victoria now inquired about.

“You’re not looking to make too great of waves tonight, are you?” she asked, turning on the shower faucet. A sputtering vanguard of cool water droplets splattered on the wood, with a stronger, warmer stream chasing behind it seconds later.

“No. Well… yes? I mean, I want to make waves, but within reason.”

Victoria stepped under the current of water, and somehow, so close to water as he was, Liam had never felt drier. The droplets coursed down her voluptuous body, eager to cleanse her smooth, olive skin.

“That’s good to hear,” Victoria said. “Also, are you going to join me?”

Realizing he’d followed her yet not yet stripped out of his clothes, Liam hurriedly rushed through the process. Victoria smiled again.

“If you’ll treat me as a confidant, I’ll be willing to help with whatever you might be planning,” Victoria said. “Between the three of us who will be here tonight, there’s obviously one who should receive the bulk of our consideration.”

Liam nodded in agreement as he escaped his boxers. Unsurprisingly, he was more than aroused enough for his cock to stand up at attention. Victoria smiled at that too. Making room for him to enter the warm stream, she wrapped her arms around him and shared an affectionate kiss.

“ Our nightly ritual is still a go,” Liam said once that kiss ended. “If she’s okay with joining in, which I assume she’ll be, she’ll like it even more than you do.”

Victoria stared at him through a curtain of water, eyes practically glowing in the sunlight. “Oh?”

“She’s very sensitive,” Liam said. “Kind of why, once the teams ended up like they did, I wanted you two to win. The idea that came to me best suited the two of you.”

Victoria’s hand traced his side, heading downward. “Go on.”

Liam’s heartbeat intensified, almost matching the drumbeat of water droplets tapping upon the crown of his head. He leaned in, feeling Victoria’s breasts compress against his chest.

“Hold off,” he forced himself to say, catching Victoria’s wrist before it found his cock. “I’m planning to run completely empty on you two tonight.”

“ On us?” Victoria said, catching his curious choice of words.

“That’s right,” Liam said, beginning to glide his hands up along Victoria’s hourglass figure. He brought his palms up to the sides of her impressive breasts. “On these. With these. I’m going to make a mess of you two tonight. Especially you. That way, you won’t worry about being forgotten about in the future threesomes I pull you into.”

Victoria’s eyes blazed with a heat bordering on scorching. “Your plans are rather ambitious.”

Liam smirked and pulled back, giving his hands space to find Victoria’s nipples. Her stiff nipples. He began playing with them. He began playing with all that made up her magnificent breasts. Before long, he’d get to see her shiver.

“You already knew that, though,” he said, challenging her to feign ignorance. “You know what I want. You, but also you and Anna, you and Tess, you and Avril.”

“I did,” Victoria admitted, biting her lower lip as he rolled one of her nipples between his thumb and forefinger. “I still like hearing you say it.”

“I’m going to say a lot of things,” Liam whispered, returning his lips to hers. Their kiss deepened, and Victoria brought her palm against his cock. Not to make him come undone, but simply to feel the heat emerging from the rigid tool. “Some, I’ll whisper like this. Others, I’ll say openly, in front of the others.”

“If Anna is sleeping over, that lessens how much time you’ll have to make your decision tomorrow morning. From what I could tell, your plan hit a stumbling block with Avril.”

“It’ll be a fifty-fifty,” Liam said. “Will be a shame if I get it wrong.”

He could tell that Victoria nearly broke, then. She almost did what Avril had refused to do. Because she very much wanted him to get her birthday right. A part of her must have regretted her own stubbornness, her own refusal to say, “Screw this, I want to get laid.” She could have made it happen, either by confirming the day it was or just by ignoring the challenge she’d laid before him. But, just like the deal they had involving those old pictures of her, she remained adamant about keeping her word.

In the long run, Liam knew that would prove beneficial to them both. The many other deals, challenges, and agreements they would make over this coming year would confirm it.

“Then don’t get it wrong,” Victoria said. “For both our sakes.”

“I’ll do my best,” Liam said. “Because I want to fuck you so, so badly.”

“I know you do.” Victoria delivered her lips to his ear, speaking in barely a whisper. And yet, Liam had never felt more deafened in his entire life. “You know I want the same thing. For you to fuck me before our trip ends, ending this… drought of my own making. And then carry that momentum back with us. Into the summer. Beyond.”

She inhaled deeply, trembling with anticipation. That drought she spoke of was so close to ending. At the start of winter break, on that day they’d met, he doubted that she would have ever imagined that Tess’s next-door neighbor would become the man she wanted to end it with. That she’d crave the days, weeks, and months that were to come, including those that wouldn’t just involve him and her.

“Believe me, I can’t wait to go swimming in your pool,” Liam whispered, grinning from ear to ear. “Hell, I can’t wait to pick up a spade and garden with you.”

A coy smile appeared on Victoria’s face. “I’ll see that the pool is ready for your many, many visits.

“Good. I love seeing you stretched out, waiting for my hands to come over and rub you down.”

“I’ll have first dibs, too,” Victoria said. “My pool, I’m first. No matter who else I might have invited over.”

Liam’s blood nearly boiled. He was approaching an edge he needed to come back from, or else he’d end up spending far too long fucking Victoria’s tits right now, which would impede his ability to fuck them as many times as he wanted to later tonight.

“A short list, I’m sure,” Liam said.

“We’ll talk about it later,” Victoria said, aware as he was of the precipice they were nearing.

Through a great deal of effort, they found some self-control. In order to maintain it, they avoided washing any bodies but their own. Afterward, he picked out a fairly revealing bikini for her, though she hadn’t exactly brought along many conservative ones. Rejoining the others, they headed to the resort’s pool. Victoria ensured he put his sunscreen-lathered hands on her first.
