One Hot Summer 02 ("Option 1")

Going into the house would force me to confront Samantha. Yeah, she was usually nice to me, but I didn't think she'd be in any mood to be nice to anyone. I sat silently, watching my best friend swim the length of the pool a few times, before she stopped in the shallow end nearest me. Cassie hung onto the edge and looked up at me.

"Gabi, seriously, come in the pool with me."

She looked so cute that it made me chuckle. Her blond hair, several shades darker with the water, framed the dainty features of her face. Her blue eyes looked like two glass orbs encased in a fine china doll. Cassie was fair-skinned, delicate. Her beauty attracted plenty attention during our school years, but she never fell into vanity; she didn't hang out with the 'cool kids', Cassie never forgot about me. I wasn't about to forget about her, either.

"Yeah, I'll jump in. It's freaking hot, today."

Cassie smiled as I left the comfort of my chair to traverse the hard concrete pool area. I heard her splash around another lap across the pool, while I focused on not slipping on the wet ground. Cracking my head open would not be sexy.

My first step into the pool cold-shocked my foot. My body had acclimated to the hot sun, here I was about to dip into cooler water. Cassie didn't mind it, her body was already accustomed to the temperature. As I moved further down the steps and the water climbed, my nipples became erect. And then Cassie swam over to me.

"Come on," she bid with a gentle grasp of my hand.

"Just give me a second to get used to it," I giggled.

"It's best to jump in all at once. It'll shock your body at first, but you'll get used to it quickly."

That's one strategy. Not mine, though. "I like to get used to it gradually," I explained.

Cassie laughed playfully, turned, and swam away. Wow. Her tight little ass and plump cheeks looked incredible in that thong. Who wears something like that for a private swim with their friend? Was it something she just threw on, regardless of who was swimming with her? Or was there something intentional about what she wore?

The water reached my hips in the shallow end. I was only a quick dip away from submerging my body and getting acclimated to the water. My legs were fine, having already acclimated. My hips were getting there. But, I remained hesitant about going all the way. Until a pair of arms wrapped around my waist from behind and lifted me up.

"I'll get you used to the water," Cassie teased dunking me in.

"I don't think so," I giggled. And then I reached behind me to stop her. Except...well...

"Gab...Gabi you're grabbing my," Cassie was at a loss for words. When I reached behind me, I touched the center of her bikini bottom. I knew it the second I felt her soaking polyester, and my fingers sinking in just slightly. Yes, I knew it, but I still hadn't let go. I increased the pressure of my touch, and then decreased it, several times over what felt like forever.

When I turned around and pulled my hand away form her, Cassie grabbed my face and kissed my lips. We never kissed...well, that's not entirely true. In the limo before senior prom, our dates dared us to kiss. When Cassie kissed me that night, it felt...different. It didn't feel like a playful friend-kissing-friend kind of kiss, with no emotion behind it; it was a passionate closed-mouth kiss. This kiss felt the same way. And then her mouth opened, slightly.

I would like to say a million things went through my mind in that moment. It didn't. My mind was blank, as her pruney fingers held my face. Only a single thought occurred to me when her lips parted during our kiss. I am going to fuck her, today. Even when I dated guys in high school, I always fantasized about being intimate with Cassie. This would be the day it finally happened.

"You wore this for me," I whispered to her dripping wet face, my fingers gently pulling the elastic waistband of her thong.

"You finally noticed?" Cassie replied.

"Finally noticed? What do you mean?"

Cassie pushed away, "after all of these years. You finally noticed me?"

I watched her swim away to the other side of the pool. I felt awkward. No, I hadn't just noticed her. I noticed her a long time ago. I noticed her freshman year. I noticed her during that sleepover when we had to share the bed, while Ashley, Michelle, and Catherine slept on the floor. We held hands that night and talked until the sun was coming up. I noticed her that night, when she fell asleep, and I closed my eyes and quietly masturbated. She was asleep...wasn't she?

When Cassie reached the diving board, she waved over at me to follow her. At first, I thought she swam away because she was mad at me. Not so. When I swam toward her, not even noticing I just submerged my body in the water and felt the cold shock over my heated body, Cassie immediately grabbed my hand.

We didn't do anything, initially. Cassie's eyes shot toward the sliding glass door on the deck. She was making sure she wouldn't be interrupted by Samantha; whatever Cassie was planning.

"Can we try something?" Cassie asked.

"Try what?" I played dumb, knowing she wanted to kiss again. I was wrong, anyhow. That wasn't what she wanted. Cassie took my hand and tucked just under the front of her bikini. Her eyes never deviated from mine. My best friend had me touching her pussy in her family's pool. "How does it feel when I do this?"

My question, and the fact that my fingertips were nearly inside of her, made Cassie's mouth hang open ever so slightly. A devious grin spread across her face. "You tell me."

Oh. My. Gosh. I swear I orgasmed right there and then. Cassie shoved her hand under my bikini and she wasn't teasing the way I teased. One of her fingers immediately entered me. Cassie fingered me, when her sister could've caught us at any moment. I glanced over at the deck, making sure Samantha wasn't coming; but she was, the glass door slid open.

Cassie didn't see her sister step out onto the deck, when she had already moved in for another kiss. I didn't resist, but what would Samantha have to say about this?

"Whoa, I didn't mean to interrupt..."

"Sam, what the fuck?" Cassie pulled out of me and swam away.

I didn't say a word. My hand that hadn't been groping my best friend was hanging on to the diving board.

"No, it's perfectly fine," Samantha said with her hands up dismissively. "Actually, I thought we'd play a game or something."

"What kind of game?" Cassie asked suspiciously.

"Dare."

"Truth or Dare?" I asked, hopeful that it would lead to something sexual. Truth or Dare always led to something sexual.

"Nope," Samantha swam toward me and eventually hung on to the diving board. "Just, 'Dare'. We each take turns daring each other to do something. If you refuse to perform the dare, you have to leave the pool. Whoever is left by the end, wins the game."

Oh, yeah, this would no doubt get sexual. I didn't know what to say. I was so horny at the time, but did I want to play this game with Cassie and her sister? Finally, I spoke up.
