Nikki and Bridget sat at a picnic table in Nikki’s back yard. A large umbrella gave them shade from the hot sun. The surface of the backyard pool rippled from the presence of a man in scuba gear.
“Who’s the dude in the pool, Nikki?”
“Some guy I hired to clean my pool.”
Bridget looked over in his direction. “He’s kinda cute.”
“They’re always cute to you, aren’t they?”
“I can’t help it. I guess I’m oversexed.”
“How was that guy you went out with last night?”
She stiffened, but tried not to let it show. “Oh, he was all right.”
“Just ‘all right’?”
“I’ve had better.”
“Ever done it in the pool?”
“I’ve sucked a guy’s cock underwater. We fucked, but we were both in shallow water.”
“What about using scuba gear? You told me you got certified last year before you went to the Bahamas.”
“There was one diver I hooked up with. We had some fun. We just never did it in the water.”
“Bridget, I’m surprised at you!” Bridget just laughed.
They lapsed into silence. Bridget looked at the water again. The pool guy was still in there.
“How long has he been at it, Nikki?”
“I don’t know. Half hour maybe.”
“How long is it going to take?”
“You thinking about going for a swim?”
“I was considering it.”
“That’s interesting.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Wanna have some fun?”
“What’ve you got in mind?”
“I was just thinking about you being oversexed.”
“And…?”
“Bet you $100 you can’t get the pool man to fuck you underwater.”
“You’re kidding, right?”
“I don’t think you can do it. I’ve seen him in there for half an hour. He hasn’t shown any interest in me.”
“So you think he won’t show any interest in me?”
“$100 says you can’t.”
“Easy bet!” Bridget replied excitedly. “It’s a hot day. And I’ve got an itch that needs scratching. You don’t mind if I do it right in front of you, do you?”
“Hell no. $100 says you can’t.”
Bridget started to take her shirt off. Nikki shook her head. “Hunh-unh. You can’t use your natural assets. You’ve got to go in just like that.”
“Fine. I’ll do it fully clothed.”
Bridget waded down the steps into the shallow end of Nikki’s pool. He was on the bottom in the deep end. This was probably going to require some breath-holding. But she was sure she could get him to share the regulator with her once they started fucking.
She swam down to him in the deep end. She gave him her most sultry smile. It usually worked on all the guys she nabbed at the club.
He looked at her in surprise, apparently not expecting company in the pool. Then he went right back to work. Bridget pouted as she surfaced.
“What’s the matter?” Nikki called over to her from her spot at the table. “Losing your touch?”
“Don’t worry about me! I’ll get him!”
She filled her lungs and went back down. This time she parked right in front of him. He gave her another look before going back to his work.
She surfaced again. “That was quick,” Nikki observed with a laugh. You didn’t even get his trunks off! How was it?”
“I’m not through yet!” Then Bridget submerged in a huff.
Once more she went down, ending up right in front of him. She had to skull to keep herself down because of her buoyancy. This time she stayed down longer, trying to prove to him she had some good breath-holding skills.
He didn’t respond, and Bridget needed some air. So she swam back up to the surface. He watched her swim away, shook his head and then went back to his cleaning.
Up at the surface Nikki laughed at her. “Easiest $100 I’m going to make today. Want to pay me now and take your humiliation?”
“I’m just getting started.”
“Yeah, I’ll bet you are.”
Bridget filled her lungs and headed back down. She was going to have to try something more obvious. Maybe the guy was gay and Nikki had failed to reveal that part to her.
She stretched herself out on the bottom in front of him in a sexy pose. He stopped to look at her. She got on her knees and smiled.
Infuriatingly, he didn’t make a move. Bridget swam back to the surface. She was going to have to be a lot more obvious.
“I’ll take it in twenties,” Nikki laughed at her.
“I’m not done yet!” Then Bridget filled her lungs and submerged again.
She was through messing around. It was time to bring out the heavy artillery. She submerged, gave him a ‘come hither’ look and then flashed her chest at him.
She caressed herself, rubbing her hands over her breasts. ‘This oughta get a response,’ she thought. ‘I’ll bet he’s a ‘boob’ man.’
He looked at her in amusement. But he didn’t reach out for a touch. It annoyed the hell out of her.
Her lungs were empty again. Damn! She had to go get another breath.
Bridget surfaced in frustration. She saw Nikki smiling at her. “Not a word, bitch!” she called over to her in frustration. “I haven’t given up just yet!”
She swam back down in front of him and waved her arms around. ‘C’mon, fella. There’s a dress at the mall with my name on it! I want that $100!’
Once again he ignored her. After a minute or so Bridget was forced to swim up back up. This was getting frustrating as hell!
Nikki laughed. “Why don’t you just pay up-“
“Shut the fuck up! I’ve got him, ok?” Then she submerged, determined to try a more forceful approach.
She swam right down to him. Bridget removed the regulator from his mouth. Then she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him passionately. She knew she had won when he returned the kiss while wrapping his arms around her.
She needed air again. This time she took his regulator. She wanted to show him she had some scuba skills.
She put it into her mouth and took a breath. He bent down and kissed her exposed breast. She was sure she had him. She just wanted to give him a little added incentive.
He took the regulator from her mouth and put it into his. That’s when she reached down and loosened his trunks. When his hardening cock sprang free she crammed it into her mouth and started sucking.
He tilted his head back and moaned. Now Bridget was sure she had him. She was going to show Nikki she could fuck him underwater while he was wearing scuba gear.
She made a show of holding her breath a really long time. When she felt the growing discomfort in her lungs she took the regulator out of his mouth. He willingly released it, allowing her to place it between her lips.
She took a huge hit of compressed air. Now she was really horny. This was going to be so fucking good! She was really going to teach that Nikki a lesson while taking her money!
When she’d gotten a good breath, she removed the regulator. She seductively put it back into his mouth. Then she went back to work on his cock.
He tipped his head back and bubbled with pleasure. She prided herself on her blowjobs. Sucking cock underwater was a thrill, although she had to make sure she didn’t drown herself.
His cock was hard, she was sure he was ready. All she had to do now was go up and tell Nikki to make sure she got an eyeful. Then she would go right back down to commence the festivities.
She had just started for the surface when he grabbed her from behind. He was ready to get started right now?? She decided that was ok, although he seemed to be holding on rather tightly.
She turned to get the regulator from him. He refused to let her have it while maintaining his grasp on her. What the hell??
He was becoming too amorous. So why wasn’t he letting her get a hit off his scuba tank? Ok, so she would go to the surface and then return.
She tried to leave but he wrapped an arm around her waist. She tried to kick out of his grasp. But he refused to let her go. And he still wasn’t offering her his regulator!
This wasn’t going the way she’d planned. He wasn’t even trying to fuck her! So why wasn’t he letting her return to the surface??
‘What the hell are you doing, asshole? Let me go!’ She struggled to break free, but he held onto her arms and wouldn’t let her go.
She kicked and twisted around him as her lungs began to burn. He just forced her back down to the pool floor. But strangely he didn’t seem interested in fucking her.
Bridget kicked and struggled. She broke free and managed to reach the surface. But it was only long enough to grab a quick breath before he grabbed an ankle and pulled her back down.
He wrapped an arm around her, trying to hold onto her. She twisted and squirmed, fighting like a banshee. What the hell was wrong with him?? And where the hell was Nikki??
He grabbed her and forced her to the pool floor. He actually tried to hold her there! Bridget was shocked… ‘FUCK! He’s trying to DROWN me!’
She kicked hard, struggling to get free. She finally burst out of his grasp. That’s when she made a beeline for the side of the pool.
She reached it and started to climb out. Her friend was watching with a curious expression on her face. “Nikki; HELP! He’s trying to DROWN me!”
“Are you giving up on the bet?”
“Hell, yeah; just get me out of here!”
She grabbed for the ledge and tried to pull herself out. That’s when she felt him grab onto her foot. “NIKKI; HE’S GOT MEEEEE!”
Fear gripped her heart as he pulled her back down. He grabbed onto her legs, trying to keep her submerged. She fought to push him away, wondering what the hell was wrong with him.
She was losing air fast, her heart pounding in her chest in terror. She couldn’t hold her breath, not during a struggle like this! What the hell was wrong with Nikki? Why wasn’t she helping her??
They struggled against each other at the bottom of the pool. He kept taking breaths off the regulator. But she was not getting any air at all… and her lungs were screaming at her.
He pulled her down and held her near the bottom. In desperation she lashed out, snatching the regulator out of his mouth. She creamed it between her lips and sucked down huge lungfuls of much-needed air.
He reached out for his regulator. She twisted and turned, desperately trying to keep it between her lips. This bastard really wanted to drown her!!
They struggled against each other until he grabbed the reg and yanked it away from her. He stuck it back into his mouth with grim determination. Then he fought to hold on tight to her body.
Bridget was horrified. It was impossible to hold her breath during such a life and death struggle. Her mind screamed as she lost a huge burst of air.
He finally managed to wrap her up in a big bear hug. She was too tired to break out of his grasp. All she could do was helplessly flail about, her lungs demanding to be refilled.
She looked upward, wondering what the hell Nikki was doing up there. Couldn’t the bitch see the kind of trouble she was in?? What the hell was going on up there??
He held her in his arms as air burst out past her lips. She struggled to cover her mouth, desperate to contain what little air she had left. He simply pulled her arms away while holding on tight.
The pain in her chest increased. Panic and desperation washed over her face. Her lungs were on fire, her stomach hitching ominously. A few seconds more and Nikki wasn’t going to get her money.
She anxiously shook her head. A burst of air exploded out of her mouth. Bridget swallowed water, causing her to reflexively inhale.
Instantly she went into seizures as her body hitched and gurgled. She stared in surprise as she started to drown. This wasn’t how the bet was supposed to end! Where the hell was Nikki??
Her agony eased as he maintained his grasp. She no longer put up a struggle. Holding onto her became much easier.
He let go of her just to see if there was any life remaining. Bridget slowly floated upward, her lungs having not completely flooded just yet. She floated face down, looking at the bottom of the pool with a shocked, vacant expression.
He watched her for the longest time. Then he went up and retrieved her body. He pulled her back down to the bottom of the pool where he strapped a weight belt around her waist.
A few bubbles came out past her parted lips. Her lungs were flooding now. Soon she would be beyond the point of resuscitation.
He pushed hard into her stomach. She hitched a little as a couple more bubbles were forced out of her mouth. She stared with lifeless eyes that seemed to be accusing him of something horrendous.
He swam to the shallow end and stood up where he removed his scuba gear. Nikki slowly got up from the table where she’d been watching impassively. She came right over to where he was sitting on the steps to the shallow end.
Her arm stretched out toward him. In her hand was a wad of bills. “Here’s the money I owe you,”
He accepted what she offered him. Then she looked at him curiously. “What was it like to drown her? She sure put up a fight.”
“Hell of a fighter,” he agreed. “She really put up a struggle. I got a great blowjob out of her though before I drowned her. Why did you want me to do this again?”
“I’m a woman. Do I really need a reason?”
He thought about it as he looked at her. “No, I guess not.” But there was something in her eyes. That’s when he made a decision.
He grabbed an arm and pulled her into the pool with him. He forced her to the bottom onto her back. She was already losing air out of her mouth and nose.
She tried to struggle as he straddled her while grabbing onto her wrists. She hadn’t expected him to drown her too. But he couldn’t take the chance she wouldn’t change her mind and turn him in later.
It didn’t take long before Nikki started losing air. She hitched and gurgled as she swallowed water. He hung on tightly to her wrists as she spasmed and convulsed.
She stared up in shock, astonished he’d turned on her so abruptly. Her hitches lessened until she stared upward with lifeless eyes. He had access to one more weight belt. But he decided she’d definitely earned it.
He attached the belt around her waist, making sure she was lying at the bottom of the pool next to the other girl. Then he packed up his things and left.
Women: you didn’t dare trust one on the off-chance she might turn on you.
