Chapter Six
Tyler
That went well, I thought as I made my way confidently up to my room. I couldn’t help but to feel encouraged. I knew that I had made great strides within the female psyche and I was proud of myself. Hell, I’m always proud of myself, but today, I felt as though I had successfully bridged a gigantic gap between me and some fine ass, and that was a cause to celebrate.
Still, I knew that if I did anything now that would be considered strange, I would not be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor. So I decided to get to bed early that night.
I had planned to go out, which was actually how I had discovered Ashley out there and decided that it was a perfect opportunity to get her mind on my efforts. After what had happened, eventually on the beach, I was sure that I was close to rubbing up against that sweet-spot, which would give her no other choice but to crash into my arms.
It was all a work in progress, but I figured if I laid low for a little while and didn’t annoy her, another golden opportunity would just land in my lap. So, I settled in and soon fell into a deep sleep.
I didn’t even have to wait that long for such a golden opportunity either.
A few days after my intervention with Ashley on the beach, we all happened to be having breakfast together with her father and my mother.
I smiled as I concocted the perfect plan, before I said, loud enough to burst my parents out of their little love bubble, “Hey Ashley, it’s good to see you…Hey, uh…I was wondering if you would like to go to the beach with me today.”
I watched her eyes grow wide as she realized what was happening, but my mother jumped in quickly, asking me, “When are you going to do that?” I knew that she just wanted to know when I was going to be completely out of her sight, but I used it to my own advantage.
“I plan to go chill there after my morning workout.” I shrugged in a smooth, calculated fashion and answered, “Nothing too exciting. Just going to get outside.” I flashed a smile at Ashley, before pressing it around the table.
“Go ahead!” my stepfather urged, no doubt just as eager to empty the house as my mother. “You should go and get some sun...”
“It might make you feel better,” my mother urged.
Still, Ashley seemed hesitant. She looked at me as though to beg for some kind of help, but I only drove the nail in deeper, tactfully of course, in order to shut out any hope of her not doing exactly as I wanted. I put on my best, nice guy face and said to her, “Come on! It’ll be fun.”
“Yeah, Ashley,” her father urged, jumping on the bandwagon as he so often did. “Go out, get a tan and have a good time with your stepbrother.”
Eventually, strategically, after a few more frantic looks, Ashley was bullied into it and just as she promised, after my morning workout, which was made even better since I now had a goal to aspire to, I found her on the beach.
Ashley was easy to spot, since her body complimented a bathing suit incredibly well. The suit hugged her petite frame in a way that her choice of clothing just couldn’t amount to. While I would have insisted that her outfits were a bit too tasteful, she had the body to pull off anything, and this bikini had a way of enticing my inner manhood.
“Funny meeting you here,” I said as I walked up behind her.
Just as she had done on the beach the other night, she turned toward me and rolled her eyes at the confirmation of my existence. “Don’t kid yourself. You and I both know that I had to come or I wouldn’t be fed tonight.”
“Oh, come on. What kind of man do you think I am?” I smiled keenly and teased her as I answered, “I would have made sure you received a few scraps.”
Again, she rolled her eyes, but I was not deterred. I smiled at her brightly and sat down beside her.
We talked for a little while, bantering back and forth, before I asked if she would like to go in the water.
Ashley laughed at me, as though I had lost my mind and therefore, I ran in ahead of her, before coming back out and making my way toward her to give her a hug.
For the first time, I heard a genuine laugh escape her lips, before she jumped up and tried to playfully plead with me, but I didn’t care. I just made myself larger, like a massive, virile bear, before I ran after her, which made her squeal with excitement as I continued to make my way toward her.
Eventually, I caught her and hugged her, which she clawed her way out of, before running, breasts bouncing around wildly, right into the water.
“What the hell did you do that for?” I asked, spreading out my hands and speaking over the crashing waves.
She giggled as she responded, “Well, I can’t just be half wet. That’s no fun.”
I laughed at her logic and dove in after her, continuing our rough play in the water.
Our fun attracted the attention from other girls on the beach, as I normally did. Some of them were hot, while others probably shouldn’t have gone to the beach wearing anything less than a thick poncho, in addition to a bathing suit, but it was all in good fun.
When one particularly attractive woman came up and captured my attention, Ashley encouraged, “Go ahead. You can stop messing around with me. I know you probably have some kind of beach body quota to fill or something, so it’s fine.”
I looked at her expression and studied her demeanor. The best I could tell, she was actually telling me the truth. I didn’t think she would care very much if I went off with one of these girls. In a way, she might actually prefer it, but I could feel that there were barriers breaking down, so I didn’t want to risk losing all of that for a woman that I could charm any day.
I answered in a quick, powerful, convincing voice, “No…That’s okay. I would much rather stay with you.” Then, without giving her any warning, I jumped up and continued our horseplay.
She let out a shrill scream before she went after me again.
I knew that I had an image to maintain, but I also had a challenge to peruse and today proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I was able to keep up with both.
After all, if nothing else, I knew how to attract women. I had practiced it my entire life. Just like with anything, there was a finesse that needed to be met, no matter who the woman was.
During the course of this particular beach day, I knew for sure that my stepsister was no different.
