Just to start, there was Vicky AND Ashley

Zack joined his big sister Taylor in her room and started brushing out her long brown hair as he told her what had happened.

"Well, you know there were a bunch of us and Heather's family has a pretty big cabin with a bunch of bedrooms, some with pairs of twin beds, some with doubles."

"Ya, I got to stay over once. Chaperone, ha ha. Though Heather was being pretty good," Taylor said.

Taylor's low, raspy voice just said 'Big Sis' to Zack, but he knew guys would ask her stupid stuff just to hear her voice.

Zack said, "Brandon and Ashley got a room together. Heather split the rest of us in half, with Heather, Kurt and me drawing for roommates. Heather got Gavin, Heather's cousin Kurt got Chloe, and I got Vicky."

"Some score. I wonder if Heather fixed it for you. Or for her," Taylor said. "Hey, not so hard. Slower. Longer strokes."

"Sorry," Zack said. He took a deep breath and brushed more slowly and evenly.

"Ahh, that's nice," Taylor said. "You and Vicky were roommates. How'd that work out?"

"We got off to a great start. We ended up playing around in the lake together the first day. Ashley started in with Brandon, trying to dunk him, and Vicky kinda took me on." Zack laughed. "Next morning we were the first ones up. Well, I was, and Vicky followed me out to the deck. I was worried things in the lake got too physical so we talked a little."

"Physical?" Taylor said. "Did you grab her ass?"

"No, no, I spun her around and held her so she couldn't dunk me and I ended up, well, poking her."

"You poked Vicky in the butt with your unit? Were you hard?" Taylor asked.

"Um, yeah," Zack said. "But she just kinda relaxed and leaned her head back on my shoulder. Chloe showed up and things broke up before I could really check in with Victoria that day. And she went to sleep kinda early. So the next morning when she got up and followed me, I asked her about it."

"Any misunderstanding?" Taylor said.

"Um, nope, I didn't get the message wrong. More like me not trusting that her signals were Green, Go, Come and Get Me," Zack said.

"Well I always like to hear it in actual words," Taylor said. "Looks like you're smart enough to know not to guess."

"So Victoria said yes, she was tussling with me to get me interested in her. So I look at her like OH, and she looks at me like DUH, and . . ."

"Ha ha, let me guess, you start making out right there at the deck at first light." Taylor tossed her head. "Brush the other side now. OK, so there you are, and she has a crush on you too. What's complicated about that?"

"The whole rest of the day. The first day Ashley was really doing lots of teasing, aimed at Brandon really, to get him excited but frustrated, you know, because he couldn't do much in front of us, but eventually he'd drag her back to the bedroom. She was still showing off like that the next morning, but she was kinda jumpy, she walked into the wall a couple of times, I think once when she saw me and Victoria. And then I think Ashley's vibe started working its way round."

Taylor tilted her eyes up to one side, thinking. "Well, Hannah told me Ashley was running on sex overdrive since she got together with Brandon. I guess Spring Break really took the lid off. Go girl!"

"Um, yeah," Zack said. "So Victoria and I did a lot of kissing but we tried to cool it before anyone else got up. But Chloe caught us being silly at breakfast and she's all 'Zack has a girlfriend!' which, I mean, well, she doesn't have to shout."

"Ah ha ha," Taylor said. She looked in the mirror, seeing the pink tint in Zack's cheeks. "Well, THAT gets easier with practice. So far so perfect. What I am I missing?"

Zack said, "After breakfast Heather grabs Kurt, Brandon, and Chloe for a hike, but they kinda split up, Brandon and Chloe going for a workout hike up the hill, and Heather taking Kurt exploring. Victoria invites herself along with Gavin 'cause he's going birdwatching, and Ashley and I are alone back at the cabin finishing up the dishes."

"Heather's playing cruise director, huh?" Taylor said.

"Yeah, kinda, she likes to make things happen," Zack said. "So this is where it gets crazy. So Ashley has been teasing the hell out of Brandon, but we're all kind of in the Ashley splash zone. And Heather's aim on the trip is to have fun, especially the let's-take-our-clothes-off kind. Kurt is looking for someplace to stick his dick. Vicky is catching a lot of energy off Ashley and, well, me. Gavin seems to be getting somewhere with Heather, which maybe she's driving, because, well, Heather. I'm kinda loopy because OMG Vicky, well, yes, and Ashley too. I don't know where Chloe is in all this except I think one or the other of the girls is kinda trying to big-sister her, you know, clothes and stuff."

"I can tell this is leading up to something," Taylor said. "Keep brushing, longer strokes. Mmm, that's good." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Rub my shoulders now?"

Zack put the brush down and pulled Taylor's glossy brown hair to one side to take hold of her shoulders.

"That's good, Zack. So what happened?" Taylor asked.

Zack swallowed. "I think that day, everyone ended up having sex with someone they weren't supposed to. Or at least that they weren't expecting to."

Taylor opened her eyes and looked up, meeting Zack's eyes in the mirror. "Spill it."

"So it was me and Ashley left at the cabin after the others took off. We cleaned up breakfast. I went for a walk just around the cabin, outside. Ashley stayed in. A little bit later I heard her yell my name. I ran inside because I thought something was wrong." He coughed and swallowed again. "She was jilling off in the shower. When I got there she was screaming, 'Zack, fuck me!'"

Taylor's reflected eyes held his. Her lips curled, but she didn't say anything. She raised her eyebrows and nodded her head.

"We jumped on each other," Zack said. He started kneading his sister's shoulders again. They were stiff, but relaxed under his hand strokes. "And then we were all about wow, that was great, but it was the heat of the moment."

"So how'd that work out?" Taylor asked. Zack heard the edge in her voice.

"Well, we were trying to cool things down. Cleaning up the cabin before people got back for lunch," Zack said. He hung his head down, then lifted it back up. "Ashley kept bending over to pick things up and looking back over her shoulder at me kind of like what she was doing with Brandon. I grabbed her and we were at it again, right there in the living room."

"Glorious," Taylor said dryly. "Well, it was spring break. Keep rubbing, Zack."

Zack picked up his rhythm again, rolling and kneading Taylor's shoulders.

Taylor closed her eyes and breathed deeply, enjoying the shoulder rub. "Was it good?" she asked. "With Ashley?"

"Glorious," Zack echoed. "It was glorious."

Taylor rolled her head from side to side. "Well, that's a good load of complications right there," she said. "And that's just Day Two of break. I want to hear the rest of the story, but not right now."

"What do you want right now?" Zack asked.

"Bedtime," Taylor said. "Thanks for the shoulder rub, that was great. You want to fill up my water glass?"

"Sure," Zack said.

When he returned from the bathroom with a full water glass, Taylor was in her bed halfway under the covers. "Would you plug this in for me?" she asked, holding up the end of an electrical cord.

"Sure, what is it?" Zack said.

Taylor held up the other end. "My vibrator. You know, vibrators?" It was a substantial one, with a ball head and a long grip like a scepter with a rocker switch.

"Oh. Okay," Zack said. He bent down and found the power strip tucked under the head of Taylor's bed and plugged in the cord, then stood up and looked at her a little blankly.

"Ha ha, looks like you're due for some self-care too," Taylor said, looking at the bulging front of Zack's shorts. She opened her eyes wide and blinked meaningfully at Zack. "So?"

"So?" Zack said.

"You planning on sticking around or are you gonna take that back to your own bed?" Taylor asked.

Zack blushed. "Um. Oh."
