Jessica went into her room to change into her bikini. As always, it took a little bit of fiddling and adjusting it to make it fit her correctly. She had to fight her frustration as she stared at herself in the mirror. She knew that she wasn’t the prettiest girl in the world, and had a rather modest figure in general, but it still seemed so unfair to have to struggle so much with even the most basic items in her wardrobe.
Eventually, she got it to a point that seemed somewhat presentable, and headed down the hallway towards the backyard. Ben was already in the pool, splashing about.
“What took you so long?” he asked as she stepped out onto the patio. Jessica couldn’t help but admire the sight of his body and figure. His chiseled chest and abs were enough to make him a lady killer on their own, but adding in his broad shoulders and height into the equation pushed him up to another level completely. She realized she was staring and looked away, embarrassed. It felt weird to her to be having such strange thoughts about her brother and she fought to push them out of her mind.
“I was, uh, just looking for my swim suit,” she said.
“Come on, hop in, the water is perfect,” he called to her as he swam through the water.
“Just give me a minute, I want to set up my towel,” she replied.
Jessica very carefully placed her towel on one of the pool lounge chairs and unfolded it. She had actually planned to just hang out by the pool, originally. The water was even less flattering to her hair than her swim suit, at times, and even though they had a pool, she had never been the best swimmer. Suddenly, she felt strong, wet arms seize her by the waist and lift her into the air.
“Wahhhh! Hey, what are you doing?” she cried.
“You’re taking too long, princess,” said Ben, leveraging her up and over his shoulder. “I think it’s time for you to get dunked!”
“Noooo!” she cried, laughing and struggling in her brother’s grip. His arms were a lot stronger than they looked, and she soon realized it was futile. Ben carried her over to the edge of the pool and easily lofted her into the air. She hid the water with a resounding crash, and felt a little bit of it sneak up her noise.
“You jerk!” she yelled to him, still laughing. “I don’t have my nose plugs in!”
“God, you are such a dork,” said Ben. He ran forward and leaped high into the air, cannon balling into the water right next to her.
The situation quickly evolved into an intense splash fight. Jessica attempted to go on the offensive, but Ben was a quick swimmer, and surfaced behind her. Before she could react, he reached his hand over and untied her top with one quick movement.
“You are such a brat!” she yelled to him. He just looked at her and smiled.
In reality, Jessica was having a blast, and after taking care of her wardrobe malfunction, their battle evolved until they were tickling instead of splashing. She was laughing so hard that she started to have trouble breathing. Ben smiled at her when he heard her pleas for mercy and lifted her up in the air again.
“Put me down, this instant!” she shouted to him. He held her held high in the air with his strong arms.
“Okay, if you say so!” he said, flipping her back behind him and into the water.
Eventually, they calmed down and meandered their way back onto the patio. Jessica spread her towel out on a dry part of the ground and then lied on top of it. Ben dried off with his, and then put on a pair of aviator sunglasses and collapsed into a chair.
“I think you’re getting a sun burn,” he said to her after a minute. “Want me to put some lotion on you?”
“What, oh no, that’s okay, I can do it,” she replied.
Ben already had the bottle out and was squirting some of it onto his hands. Jessica’s thoughts about how he was ignoring her, again, were cut short as his hands made contact with her back.
“Oh, that’s cold!” she cried.
“It’s necessary,” he said. “Your skin is too fair and pale to look good with a sun burn,”
Jessica blushed at the comment, but wasn’t entirely sure if it really was one or not. She could feel the texture of his strong hands as he began to rub the lotion in. They were calloused, and made her wonder just what Ben was up to that caused them to be so rugged. His touch felt good on her back, but it also made her a little nervous. She felt as though electricity was flowing heavily through her body, almost like he had some type of sensual electrical relaxer installed in his fingers.
“Mmmm,” she moaned. “That feels really good,”
“I bet it does,” Ben said to her. She couldn’t see his face, but somehow got the feeling that he was smiling.
His hands roamed further, massaging the lotion into the side of her back, in between her body and her arms. His fingers ran over the edges of her breasts, and she shivered with a guilty delight.
“Are you okay?” he asked, picking up on her reaction.
“No, uh, it’s fine,” she said. “You can keep going, if you want?”
Ben did keep going. His hands massaged further down, and again, she shivered and tingled as they crossed over the small of her back. He slid his fingers ever so slightly into the waistband of the bottom of her swimsuit, and she felt fire surge between her legs. He continued down after that, massaging the lotion into the exposed sides of her butt and legs.
“There you go,” he said at the end. “All done.”
Jessica rolled over, guilty wishing that he would keep going and put some on the front of her body, as well. The thoughts seemed illicit and unusual, but it was hard for her to deny just how excited the experience had gotten her.
“Thanks,” she said to him. “I guess I should put some on the rest of my body, too…”
Ben wasn’t listening. He had wandered over to his phone and was texting on it, wearing an intense look on his face. After a minute or two, he turned back to her.
“Who was that?” she asked him.
“Just mom and dad checking up on us, he said. Jessica wasn’t sure if she totally believed him, but his answer made her remember something.
“Oh yeah, Kendra might stop by later tonight,” she told him. Kendra had been a new friend that she had met while checking out colleges in the spring. They had an unusual amount in common, and had quickly become close. She was also one of the few regular visitors Jessica had to keep her company over the summer.
“Great,” said Ben. “It will be nice to finally meet her,”
