Robyn led Lara and Finn through an unobtrusive door partially concealed behind a large spray of Hawaiian Frangipani flowers into a much smaller, more intimate pool area.
“This is our private lair, do you like it?” she asked.
Finn was speechless; the pool was an infinity pool, the far side just visible as a sparkling line against the faux dusky blue horizon, smaller than the main pool, but no less luxurious. The pool room was darkened, most of the light coming from inside the pool itself, dappling the midnight-blue ceiling with rippling blue light.
Thousands of tiny glittering white lights were set in the domed ceiling, brighter lights arranged to form the familiar constellations of the Northern sky; Ursa Minor and Ursa Major, Orion, Cassiopeia, The Pleiades, all were there, picked out in bright points of light on the ceiling skyscape, with thousands and thousands of less bright pinheads snaking across the ceiling in a band that Finn suddenly realised was the Milky Way.
The pool was framed on each side by a wall of verdant bamboo, long graceful stems arching over the pool, and bright green papyrus shrubs dipping down to trail their fronds in the water. A set of broad, shallow steps led down into the water, and a sunken bar cut across one corner of the pool.
Robyn led them to a softly-lit area set back from the pool, with a group of large, luxuriously soft leather chairs arranged in a square behind a decorative trellis screen, where Evan and Sylvie arose to greet them, inviting both of them to take a seat. When all five of them were seated, Evan smiled and passed them chilled soft drinks.
“Welcome to our escape hatch!” he grinned, lifting his glass in salute to his two sisters, Finn and Lara.
“We don’t usually ask our guests to come in here; this is normally only for us, but frankly, the girls think both of you merit an exception to our rule, and we wanted to get to know you a little better. My sisters are very good at spotting people it would be good for us to know, and they have a very good feeling about you Lara, and you Finn, hence this little meeting.”
He paused to take a sip of his drink before continuing.
“We do actually carry out very discreet, but very thorough, background checks on all the people we invite to our home for these get-togethers; it would never do to let the wrong person into our home, given what happens here, so we did check you out, and what we found, we liked. I think, and Robyn and Sylvie both agree, that you might be very interested in becoming better acquainted with us; no, not like that!”
he grinned as Finn’s hand slipped protectively around Lara’s shoulder. He nodded approvingly at Finn’s gesture and continued.
“My sisters and I are committed to each other, and only each other; we have been for a very long time now, and we think we see that same commitment in both of you. As I said, we did run a little background check on you, so we know about your family, your lives in general, but I’d really like you to tell me about yourselves, about what you want, where you want to be and what you want to do when you finish university, and more importantly, how you feel about each other.”
He smiled gently at them over the rim of his glass.
“Please don’t think I’m prying; I know there are things in your personal life that should stay personal. What I want to know is how committed you are to each other; I wouldn’t normally ask, but right now it’s very important that we know.”
Finn looked at Lara, their eyes locking as they each silently asked each other the same questions: what was going on here, and could they trust these virtual strangers with intimate details of their lives?
Lara stared into her brother’s eyes for a long couple of seconds, then slowly nodded, telling him she trusted them, and to go ahead.
Finn grinned slightly sheepishly as he ran his fingers through his hair, raking it back out of his eyes.
“I don’t really know where to begin; everything that’s happened to me in the last twenty-four hours is so new and so different I don’t even have the words to describe how I feel. I do know one thing, though; Lara and me, we don’t want anyone else, and we already agreed one thing; whatever happens from now on, we’re together. When I finish university, I suppose I’ll get a job, wherever I can, anywhere, as long as it’s not bloody Herefordshire! Once I’ve got a job, I’ll get a place, somewhere the two of us can be with each other, because that’s really all we want. Sissy?”
Lara took his hand in hers, looking down as she examined their fingers twined together.
“Everything Finny said goes the same for me; I’ve wanted him for longer than I can remember, and this weekend just clarified all I’ve ever felt for him; whether he gets a job in London, or Scotland, or Kathmandu, or the Amazon jungle, I’m going with him; he’s mine, you see, and I belong to him, and if we have to spend the rest of our lives digging holes in the Gobi desert, it’ll be because that’s what we wanted for both of us, not because someone expected or demanded it of us.”
All the time they were speaking, Evan sat quietly, watching them, watching their eyes, and slowly nodding, as though he was hearing something that jibed with his expectations. When Lara had finished speaking, he smiled and nodded at his sisters, who also smiled, leaving both Finn and Lara feeling they’d just passed some sort of test, but a test of what?
Sylvie and Robyn stood up and took Lara by her hands, urging her to stand
“Come on, Lara, let’s swim a little,” grinned Robyn mischievously, “I told you earlier I wanted to play with you!”
Lara bit her lip and glanced at Finn, who shrugged his shoulders and grinned, so she pulled off her top and slid her shorts off, following Sylvie and Robyn as they too stripped-off. All three girls then held hands as they walked down into the pool to slip into the water and breast-stroke away.
Finn watched in fascination as Lara turned and swam back into the shallows, and as she stood in the thigh-deep water, Sylvie rose up behind her, slipping her arms around her to cup and squeeze her breasts as she kissed her neck. Robyn joined them, kissing Lara as her hands slid around her to clasp her buttocks, Lara sandwiched between the two sisters.
Robyn stepped back slightly and Sylvie half-turned Lara and now all three girls were kissing, their hands caressing, squeezing, and fondling nipples, buttocks, and slipping between thighs to rub and caress more tender flesh as their tongues fenced and darted.
Finn watched in amazed arousal that Lara could, or would, do those things with another girl, but here, in this intimate setting, she’d obviously lost all inhibitions, enjoying the attentions of the two beautiful sisters, lost in a whole new world of sexual sensation, and responding with caresses and kisses of her own.
“Don’t worry,” murmured Evan, “they’re just playing, not seducing her! My sisters would never hurt or take advantage of your sister; they like her and this is just their way of showing how much, that’s all; look, I think Lara likes it!”
As they watched, Lara grinned and winked playfully at Finn, then gasped as Sylvie leaned down and caught her nipple gently between her teeth while gently rubbing her swollen labia. Lara responded by lightly pinching and tugging Sylvie’s nipples in return, making her giggle. Robyn, meanwhile, kissed Lara gently on the lips, pulling back to lick her lips lightly, then turned and winked slyly at Finn as she slowly worked her finger into Lara’s tight anus, making her gasp and squirm as Sylvie continued to suck and tug at her nipple.
Sylvie relinquished her hold on Lara and slid back into the water, lazily stroking over to the side of the pool as Robyn continued to fondle Lara, both girls gently exploring each other before seeming to reach a mutual agreement, sharing a deep kiss before walking hand-in-hand up out of the pool.
Sylvie hoisted herself out of the pool to sit on the apron and reached for a towel, wrapping it around her hair before standing and draping a beach towel around herself, smiling at the two other girls as they once more kissed as they stood at the edge of the pool.
“When you’ve finished, Bobbi, I think Finny would like his sister back…!” she grinned.
Lara’s eyes flew open, to look guiltily at Finn. Robyn took her hand and led her back to her brother’s side, a cheeky, minxy smile on her face.
“See, Finny, I told you, we were only playing!”
She squeezed Lara’s bottom once more, and winked again at Finn before kissing Lara once more, a soft, lingering kiss.
“You’re so delicious, I wish we could play longer!” she whispered, taking Lara’s hand and putting it into Finn’s.
“There you go, Finny, she’s all yours again! God, I could eat you both alive!”
Finn grinned as he pulled his sister closer and kissed her.
“That was so hot, Sissy, Christ you’re sexy!” he grinned, pulling her onto his lap, heedless of the fact she was still soaking wet.
“I never thought I’d ever see you… and another girl… I didn’t know you liked … you know, things like … that, but it looked so hot, you all looked so hot!”
Lara looked up at him, then pulled him down and quickly pecked him on the lips.
“I didn’t know either, but they were so sweet, so gentle…” She bit her lip and looked into his eyes again, her eyes dancing as she smiled.
“It was fun, Finny, and it was really nice; do you mind?”
