Elodie looked over at me and nodded. “Thanks, Hollis. And thank you for coming to check on me when you saw Tobias at my door.”
Her eyes were glassy, and I knew she was fighting back tears. I put an arm around her shoulder and squeezed her. “Of course. Anytime. We’re friends, remember? That’s what friends do for each other. Well, that and sniff each other’s panties and leave obscene selfies.”
Elodie laughed and wiped a tear from her eye. “We have a fucked-up friendship, Hollis.”
I smiled. “We have from the very start. I don’t think we can do it any other way.”

The flight to Ohio was uneventful, and I’d booked us adjacent rooms at a hotel in downtown Cleveland. Hailey and Elodie were in one room, and I was in the other, only a door separating us.
The three of us went to dinner at a five-star seafood restaurant within walking distance of where we were staying and opted to return to the hotel right after.
While Elodie and I were keen to relax, Hailey seemed to have different plans.
“The pool is open till ten!” she announced just as we were approaching our rooms.
“Guess we’re going swimming?” Elodie said.
I lingered at my door. “You two brought bathing suits?”
“Of course. What fun is a hotel without swimming in the pool?” Hailey asked, as if my question was stupid.
“I sort of like just lying in the bed, watching TV with some snacks myself,” I said.
“That’s cuz you’re old, Uncle Hollis.”
That made me chuckle.
“Apparently, everyone came prepared but you, Hollsy.” Elodie winked.
Something about that wink made me wish I could smack her on the ass.
They retreated to their room to change. My plan was to hang out and watch some HBO while they were gone. That is, until they came over to say they were heading downstairs.
Elodie’s tight stomach and ample breasts peeking out from her bikini taunted me. I would be crazy to stay in my room when I could spend the next hour gawking at her. I couldn’t touch, but I could still look, right? That sounded a hell of a lot better than HBO.
“Maybe I’ll join you.”
Hailey was confused. “You’re gonna swim?”
“No. But I’ll hang out, maybe read the paper.”
Once downstairs, we used the room key to access the indoor pool area. It was heated and felt like a sauna. I’d purchased a USA TODAY down in the lobby and threw it on one of the tables before settling into a white plastic chair.
Elodie removed her shorts and dove into the pool. Hailey jumped in right after her.
It was hard not to watch the way Elodie’s breasts bounced as she played with Hailey in the water. I had my paper in front of my face, but I did more peeking over it than reading.
The other day, I’d made the mistake of looking through the photos in her phone when she’d left it at my apartment. I came across a selfie she’d taken of herself in a bra and undies and must have gazed at it for a half hour straight. I felt guilty afterward. That’s when I’d snapped that photo of myself, right before destroying her panties by jerking off with them.
Despite the immense fun I’d had with our game, I was still certain we couldn’t take things any further. Nevertheless, I grew increasingly sexually frustrated by the day.
Elodie emerged from the pool and took a seat next to me. Her blond hair was wet and slicked back off her face. She ran her hands through it to remove some of the tangles.
She looked out at Hailey, still swimming away. “I’m really glad she’s having a good time tonight. I’m sure tomorrow is going to be stressful for her.”
“Well, thanks to you, she’s having a good time. Not sure she’d be having so much fun if it were just the two of us. Thank you again for agreeing to come.”
“You’re welcome.” She was quiet, then turned to me. “It’s been good for me, too. I didn’t exactly have wild plans this weekend.”
“Are you feeling better than you were this morning?”
“Definitely.”
I smiled. “Good.”
She looked away, almost seeming uncomfortable with our eye contact, a little bashful, which was uncharacteristic—but adorable.
“Thank you for dinner. It was really good,” she said.
“If I’m counting, I probably owe you a hundred dinners by now.”
“Until I stopped making them for two.”
“Yeah, that sucked, by the way. But I understand.”
“You deserved it.”
“I know.”
We shared a smile then sat in comfortable silence while we continued to watch Hailey in the pool.
After about an hour, Hailey was shivering with a towel wrapped around her when she announced that she wanted to go back upstairs.
Back in our rooms, I could hear the shower running next door and decided to take my own. Gazing for so long at Elodie’s body had gotten me more worked up than usual. My orgasm was intense in the shower. And yet, it wasn’t enough. I honestly didn’t know what I was going to do with this crazy attraction to her. I wished I could rid myself of it or bottle it up, put it away, and lose the key. But it wasn’t that simple when she was around almost every day. It felt like I had all of this sexual energy and nowhere to put it.
