"You enjoy yourself on your vacation," Rena told her sister giving her a hug. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"That's not saying much, as you do a lot of things that I wouldn't even consider," Cassie told her sister only half seriously.

"I know," Rena agreed. "I'm glad to have finally found happiness sis. I mean that."

"Thank you," Cassie said kissing her sister on the cheek.

"You know I never believed that what dad wrote in that journal was real," Rena said quietly.

"I didn't either, you know that," Cassie said. Rena nodded as she did know that. "Or at least I didn't until I met Dave and then Aaron. I've never been so attracted to any man, much less two at the same time. After I met Dave I went back and reread father's journal. A lot I things begin to make sense then. While I wasn't sure at first I'm now, I'm very happy I met them."

"I would be too," agreed Rena with just a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"You'll find someone someday, sis. It might not be someone like Aaron and Dave, but you'll find someone that makes you happy."

"I hope so," Rena agreed. "I only wish that I could do what you do."

"It's not all it's cracked up to be, you know," Cassie reminded her sister.

"Yeah, that insane group you told me about," Rena said more soberly. "I know there are secret societies like that out there, but to me, life is hard enough without having a bunch of terrorist after me just because they believe I don't deserve to live. Still I would like to be able to change, like you do. To have the freedom to fly under my own power, even if I would have to be careful about that."

"Yeah, it's pretty freeing," Cassie admitted.

"You've actually flown," Rena asked looking at her sister in astonishment.

"It was only a short flight, since there is so much chance of being seen," Cassie said. "For those few minutes I was on top of world. I doubt I'll take another fly anytime soon, unless we're out in the middle of nowhere. There's just too many people that could see us."

"That is kind of sad that you can't use your ability very often," Rena said.

"Yeah it is, but I know it's for our safety. I might never have met any member of this Order or at least I don't known if I have, but Aaron, Dave and Monica have. I believe them when they tell me the Order is dangerous."

"Yeah, I probably would too," Rena agreed. "If I trusted the people who told me anyway."

"Yes, that's always a factor," Cassie said. "You know I trust the three of them though, so I believe them when they tell me something like that, as it was clear they were very serious and not joking in the least.

"So how did those old geezers respond when they found out that you were together with two men?" Rena asked, her curiosity obvious.

"Are you kidding me they would go ballistic if they knew. They would probably end up blowing a gasket." Cassie giggled. "When they found out about Dave and that I had married him some of them were furious as they were still hoping you set me up with their sons. Really, it was only man in particular that talked the others into trying to get our father to agree betrothal contract."

"That ship sailed a very long time ago," Rena said with a smirk.

"Yes, it did," Cassie said. "Really, they had to know that my father would never agree to sell us off like some kind of commodity. I mean this is the 21st century for god's sake. A time of great progression for the rights of all people, especially women."

"Old Mr. Gibbons was the instigator, we both know it," Rena said. "By the way, I never did like him. He treated me like I was stupid and inconvenient, as anything but marriage bait. I had a hard time being polite when we ran into each other at social engagements."

"Yeah, I never did like him either," Cassie agreed soberly. "He always gave me the willies. He couldn't do anything about my supposed marriage, as much as he probably wanted too. I don't believe he sees women as people with feelings and intelligence of their own."

"You never did get married though," Rena said.

"That's true, but that's only because I couldn't marry both of them," Cassie said with a shrug.

"Yeah, too bad it's not legal to marry two people at the same time," Rena said.

"All that matters is that Mr. Gibbons believes I am married so that means I'm untouchable and therefore my money in also untouchable," Cassie said. "He might not be happy with the fact that I supposedly married Dave and not one of the sons of my set who inherited their money not made it a dollar at a time. Someone whose blood is blue. I really don't give a damn. He can stew in his own hatred, nastiness and vitriol."

"I really can't blame you," Rena said in an uncaring tone. "I'm not going to be forced into marriage and those old men are well aware of my opinion on the matter. Besides, they only want us to marry one of their sons, so they can supposedly get the money we have and add it to their family's coffers."

"Too bad for them that women have rights nowadays. They wouldn't have gotten a cent from me if I had been foolish enough to marry one of them and that's a promise," Cassie chuckled with a evil smirk.

"Mr. Gibbons is way out of tune with the times. I don't think the others would've offered those betrothal contracts to dad if not for his encouragement and probably blackmail. He probably was the one that initially suggested it to the others and egged them on."

"Yeah, he probably did. He has a lot of power. I wouldn't be surprised if he threatened them with something if they did not agree like you suggested a few seconds ago," Cassie said. "I'm sure he wishes that it was before women had any rights to make their own choices since the Silverthorne fortune is quite substantial and has only grown over the decades under father's management. It was not very long ago women were basically used as bargaining chips, as men didn't see them as good for much else. Some men didn't even consider them very intelligent."

"Yeah, I know it makes me glad I was born in the late 20th Century," Rena said truthfully.

"Me too," Cassie said. "Well, I better get going I have a lot of packing to do. I'll see you when I get back and in fact, you're welcome to come to dinner."

"That sounds good," Rena agreed, before giving her sister hug. "I'll see you when you get back make sure you have a good time and don't even think about those old fuddy-duddies, particularly Gibbons, as they would only ruin your enjoyment of your time with your new family."

"I don't intend to," Cassie promised with a smile. "I intend to enjoy myself with my two lovers and Monica."

"And you should," Rena said, even as she showed her sister out. "I'll be expecting plenty of nieces and nephews in the near future."

"You never know you might just get your wish," Cassie smiled mysteriously before exiting Rena's apartment clicking the door gently shut behind her. She had a trip to plan for, her first vacation with her new family. She was definitely looking forward to it and was really glad that Dave had suggested it.

~~~Dave, Monica, Aaron, Cassie~~~

Part 3

"Here we are folks," said Dave, as the four of them exited from their rented car that they had driven from the airport.

"Wow! Nice place you managed to get a reservation at on short notice," Cassie said impressed, she looked up at the hotel that Dave had chosen for their stay in the French Riviera.

"I was lucky to get it, as this is summer and they have a lot of tourists this time of year," Dave said.

"So how did you manage it," Aaron asked curiously.

"There was a sudden cancellation not long before I called," Dave shrugged. "We got lucky."
"Well, since luck seems to be on our side. We might as well go check in," Monica said.

"I got a three bedroom suite that's on one of the higher floors," Dave said as the four of them entered the hotel. "It was all they had, even if it's a bit big for us and we were lucky to get the room we did. It's not like we can't afford the cost so I snapped it up."

All four of them approached the registration desk.

"Can I help you?" asked the guy behind the desk.

"There should be a reservation for Rossi party of four," Dave said.

"Yes, Mr. Rossi," The man whose name tag said John replied. "I'll have a bellhop show you to your suite, where I'm sure that you and the rest of your party would like to freshen up. There is plenty see and do close to the Belmont. You will find most things centrally located. We have a five star restaurant here if you would care to dine in."

"Thank you very much," Cassie said shooting John a brilliant smile. "I've been looking forward to this vacation."

"We were just married a little over a year ago," Dave explained.

"We're still in the honeymoon stage," Cassie added with a wink at the man behind the desk.

"And we are going to be staying in that stage if I have anything to say about it," Dave told Cassie with a wink of his own.

They finished checking in and that their fingerprints were taken, as the suites on the upper floors only opened to the correct fingerprints.

They were escorted towards the bank of elevators and the bellhop explained that the one on the far left was the only elevator that went up to their floor.

"Well, I feel rather like royalty," Cassie chuckled, as she gazed at the opulence of the ground floor as she went up in the elevator which was made of glass. It was quite easy to see everything, as they passed each floor.

"So do I," Monica who had been silent agreed.

They finally arrived at the correct floor, which hadn't taken long at all, as the elevator had been both smooth and fast. Of course, it was really what you could expect in an expensive hotel like this.

"Here you go," The bellhop said finally stopping in front of a door. The bellhop inserted one of the key cards and the light blinked green the door swinging open, as the bellhop turned the knob.

"Thank you," Aaron said, as he shook the man's hand and gave him a large tip. The bellhop showed them around the suit before leaving giving them a wink before he closed the suite door.

"Well, what would you like to do first?" Dave asked. "Take a nap, as it was a very long flight. Get ourselves a snack? Have a early dinner?"

"I say have ourselves an early dinner," Monica said. "It isn't really that far from dinner time anyway and while I'm not feeling the jetlag right now I'm sure we all will be in a few hours."

"The food on the flight wasn't very substantial," Aaron said. "Despite the fact that we flew first class and yes, I know we could've purchased more food..."

"But we didn't," Monica said. "I think we all just decided to eat once we landed."

"Okay, an early dinner it is," Dave agreed, even as his stomach grumbled. "I think we should come back to the suite afterwards before the jetlag catches up with us. We can start seeing the sites in the morning."

There were murmurs of agreement before they all exited the suite without even bothering to unpack. It was decided that they would eat in the five-star restaurant that was in the hotel for tonight and they would start exploring in the morning when they were refreshed.

~~~Dave, Monica, Aaron, Cassie~~~

"So the beach first thing?" Aaron asked, as they all got dressed, so they could go down to breakfast.

"That sounds good," Cassie said. "That way we'll know immediately if Monica will be comfortable on the beach buck naked with others who are the same."

"We'll all stay together for today at least," Dave said. "Once you get more comfortable on the beach without even a bathing suit Monica then we'll see. This is a new experience for all of us."

"Let's go get some breakfast. We can go directly to the beach afterwards," Monica said.

"Let's make sure we have everything we have everything we need for the beach," Aaron said. "Beach towels, sun tan lotion, bathing gear, books, umbrella and so forth."

"We'll have to rent beach chairs and also that umbrella Aaron mentioned," Cassie said. "I'm sure there's a place to do that on the beach."

"I'm sure there is," Dave said smiling. "With as popular as this place is with the tourist I wouldn't be surprised if there was. I'm sure of some enterprising person thought of such an idea probably a very long time ago."

The four headed out of the room and decided to eat at a place not in the hotel. The food last night had been excellent but they wanted to try somewhere new.

They asked for a recommendation from the corsage once they got downstairs and he was happy recommend several places that were relatively close by that had excellent food.

The four of them very much enjoyed breakfast at a little place that the corsage had recommend. Once they were done Aaron paid the check for all four of them with a large tip added for the excellent service and then the four of them headed directly for their car so they could go to the beach.

It was 9 o'clock and once they stepped foot on the warm sand they could see plenty of people who were enjoying the warm sunshine and every single one of them was buck naked.

Monica blushed as she gazed at the handsome men that were nearby. She had always considered Dave and Aaron two of the most handsome men she had ever known and while that was still true she couldn't help but blush, as she looked around at all the other handsome well muscled men. All of whom were sans clothing.

"So let's find a spot to settle," Dave gently suggested. "Then we can go looking for an umbrella and chairs to rent."

"Somebody will have to stay in the spot we choose or we will come back only to find it taken," Cassie said. "It's already pretty crowded and it's only 9 o'clock."

The four of them started walking along the beach still in their clothes.

Gradually as they walked Monica grew more comfortable with people's attention. Even though they were all still dressed in their casual wear the four of them made two handsome couples. Finally, they found a spot on the beach that they could spread out their blankets and not too far in the distance they could see a stand with umbrellas and folded beach chairs for rent.

"Monica and I'll stay here while you go to get us umbrellas and beach chairs," Cassie said and the boys nodded.

"We'll start spreading out the blankets," Monica added.

"Okay, we'll be back in a few minutes," Aaron agreed. "It's going to take both Dave and I to carry those umbrellas and chairs anyway."

"Which is why I suggested that just Monica and I stay here, while you went to rent us some equipment," Cassie said.

The boys gave each of the girls a kiss on the cheek before they started walking towards the stand.

"Well, let's start setting up, shall we?" Monica said already rummaging around in one of the beach bags.

Cassie did the same ignoring the admiring glances of the men in their area were throwing in their direction.

"We're being stared at," Monica said quietly, as she looked up from spreading out a blanket on the white sand.

"I know," Cassie said. "Their just admiring us even though we haven't taken off our clothes yet. If it makes you uncomfortable then I'll tell Dave and Aaron and we can leave."

"No, I agreed to try this and to tell you the truth I like being admired by other men besides Dave and Aaron. That doesn't mean I don't deeply love our two men though," Monica said quietly. "Just that it's rather refreshing to be admired by others."

"Of course we love Dave and Aaron," Cassie said. "But there's nothing wrong about us admiring other men or other men admiring us. Our men are not the jealous types as the bond prevents us from even thinking about cheating. Being admired and admiring others in return is not cheating in my opinion."

"True," Monica said reflectively.

"So are you comfortable enough to take off your clothes?" Cassie asked.

Monica lay on the beach towel looking comfortable. "Maybe," Monica said finally, as she looked at all the naked men and women on the beach. Not a single one of them looked uncomfortable with their nakedness. Some people were laying under umbrellas on beach towels, others were strolling along hand-in-hand and yet others were surfing naked in the waves. There were also some couples that were playing naked in the water who were obviously enjoying themselves immensely.

"I'm actually more comfortable than I imagined I'd be with so many peoples gazes on me," Monica continued after quite some time of silence. "It's not like other people haven't admired me before but this is somehow different."

"It's because you've never been to a nude beach before," Cassie said. "It's a new experience for you."

"That's probably it," Monica said thoughtfully.

"I think that once you get used to the idea that people can wear whatever they like here you'll get comfortable with your nakedness quite quickly. You're basically telling people that you're comfortable in your own skin and also your sexuality. You know you're beautiful woman and want men and women both to admire you for it," Cassie said.

"I never thought about it that way," Monica said listening to her sister wife.

"I'm not surprised, because as Dave reminded me none of you besides me were born in this century," Cassie said very quietly. "I know very well that standards were much different back so long go. All of you are very modern in most ways, but you're also very old fashioned in others. If you think about it that's not really surprising."

Monica didn't have a chance to reply as Dave and Aaron finally returned with their umbrellas and folded chairs.

"Comfortable ladies," Aaron asked in amusement.

"Of course, sweetie," Monica replied with a brilliant smile, looking utterly relaxed.

"Still we're glad that you're back," Cassie said, as she lowered her sunglasses to gaze at them with her spectacular gray eyes.

"So what have you been doing while we were getting the beach equipment?" Dave asked.

"Well, spreading out the blankets of course," Monica said.

"And then we just lay here talking," Cassie added, even as she leaned back looking gorgeous with her designer sunglasses and clothes meant for the beach. She was wearing a tank top and a pair of tiny shorts that barely covered her behind.

Both Dave and Aaron couldn't help but admire her body, as she was showing a lot of skin, but then that was standard for summer wear and Cassie certainly had the body for it.

Aaron and Dave worked together to plant the umbrellas into the sand firmly enough so they wouldn't fall over

"So are we keeping on our clothes or going naked like everyone else?" Dave asked the two ladies quietly.

"It's up to you two, as neither of us care either way," Aaron said.

"It's actually up to Monica," Cassie said gazing at her sister wife. "She's the one that wasn't sure if she would be comfortable on a beach where people don't wear any clothing."

"I'll give it a try," Monica finally decided having grown more comfortable with peoples admiring gazes. "I wouldn't dare try this without all of your supports."

"You never would've come someplace like here by yourself," Dave corrected and Monica nodded in agreement.

"True that," Monica agreed.

All four of them shed their clothes unselfconsciously and put them in their beach bag so they wouldn't get lost. It was quite windy out and so the pieces of clothing could be blown out to sea or further down the beach.

Monica appeared rather uncomfortable at first as more men started admiring her naked body while some of the women glared at the two women for taking their men's attention away from themselves. Both Monica and Cassie were gorgeous specimens of womanhood. While Monica wasn't very tall her body was still toned and it was clear she had muscles in her arms. Her stomach was flat with no bulges and she had eyes of a clear green that were sharp with intelligence. Her red hair was shoulder length and was more of a red gold then just one color.

"So why don't you rub some suntan oil on me honey," Cassie suggested to Dave. "I wouldn't want to burn after all."

"Me either and as a redhead I burn rather easily," Monica agreed. "It's a curse to have such fair skin."

"I'll be happy to rub some suntan lotion over your body," Aaron offered Monica with a rather smug smirk. "It's not like it will be some kind of chore. I'll take great pleasure in doing so."

"And so will I, except for Cassie," Dave agreed enthusiastically with a wide grin. "We are technically newlyweds after all."

"That we are," Cassie agreed, as she kissed Dave on the lips. "I'll be happy for you to rub suntan lotion onto my body."

Dave and Aaron were both aware that both men and women gazing at them admiringly and with lust in their expressions. It didn't bother Dave a bit though and Dave knew that Aaron being lusted after by women didn't bother him either. Dave was confident in his body and his sexuality, but being admired by other women other than his bonded gave his ego quite a boost.

He loved Monica and Cassie with his whole heart and he knew Aaron did as well, but that didn't stop him or Aaron either from soaking up the admiration and lust vibes from other women.

Dave wondered if any of the people would be brave enough to approach any of them, as trysts happened all the time in places like this, even if they were of short duration. It was possible of course, but even an idiot should be able to tell that all of they were in love with each other, not just lust, but true never ending love.

Cassie stretched out on her oversized beach towel, on her stomach so that Dave had easy access to her back. Dave brought out the suntan lotion from a pocket in the beach bag, knowing exactly where it was located. He immediately squeezed some into his hands and then rubbed them together before placing them on Cassie's back. He gently rubbed the lotion into her smooth skin and Cassie made little sounds of pleasure as Dave did so.

"That feels really good," Cassie said softly, as Dave worked his way down her back until he reached her ass.

"I'm glad," Dave said just as softly. "I'll be happy to do this again for you sometime."

"I've never had anyone other than Teri or Rena to do this for me. You know I dated before you, but still, I've never had any other guy to rub suntan lotion on my back," Cassie said in a murmur.

"I'm sure we'll be doing this for many, many years," Dave said softly.

Cassie knew what Dave meant by many, many years but said nothing, as this was not the place to talk about such a delicate subject.

By the time Dave was done with putting suntan lotion on her back she was mostly asleep, as Dave's hands were very gentle and soothing on her skin.

"Shh! Let's not wake them," Dave told Aaron softly, as both their ladies were sleeping.

"They probably need the rest," Aaron said softly. "You know jetlag."

"I'm sure they'll wake up shortly and probably be hungry, as it is nearly lunchtime," Dave said softly, as he and Aaron took seats in two of the beach chairs.

"You know Monica actually surprised me," Aaron said. "I didn't think she'd ever be comfortable showing her naked body to strangers. She's much more modest then Cassie is."

"You know why that is," Dave reminded Aaron.

"Yeah, I know," Aaron agreed, somberly

"I think Cassie had a talk with her while we were getting the beach equipment," Dave said.

"Probably," Aaron said thoughtfully. "What do you think was said?"

"I'm guessing it was something like Cassie telling Monica that she should be proud of her body and that she shouldn't be embarrassed to show it off. Remember how Monica blushed when Cassie mentioned wanting to come here?"

"Yeah, that was rather cute," Aaron admitted. "I didn't even know that Monica knew how to blush."

"We've also never tried something like this before," Dave said gesturing at all the naked couples not far away. "We both know that Monica takes most things in stride and doesn't embarrass easily."

"We'll probably try this again at some point," Aaron said.

"We probably will, though we'll have to make sure we ask Monica before we do. Just because she seems comfortable doesn't mean she is."

"I don't think she could've fallen asleep if she wasn't relaxed," Aaron said, as he looked over at the woman that had been their mate for a very long time.

"True," Dave conceded.

Dave took a book out of the nearby beach bag and opened it to the chapter he was on.

"Hand me mine, would you please?" Aaron requested.

Dave did so before he went back to his book and both men then remained silent as they read a couple chapters each. It wasn't long after that, that two women begin to stir.

Both men put their books aside, making sure to mark their places.

"How long have we been asleep?" Monica asked in a rather sleepy tone.

"About an hour," Aaron replied.

"It's now almost 1 o'clock," Dave added looking at his watch.

"Then I think it's time for us to clean up, get dressed and get ourselves some lunch," Cassie said. "I'm getting rather hungry."

"That's not surprising considering how early we ate breakfast," Dave said.

"I think all of us are hungry," Aaron added.

"We can all decide what to do for the rest of the afternoon during lunch," Cassie suggested.

"An excellent suggestion," Monica said approvingly, seeming to have gotten over her sleepiness quickly.

The four of them quickly washed off in the ocean, even though they didn't have that much sand on them because they had stuck to the area that they had settled down at and stayed mostly on the beach towels.

After their dip in the ocean and they all got dressed and headed back to their car, so they could find someplace to eat.
