In the Boat-shed By Bria Gypsy (M/g) Dave Hewitt walked into the boathouse and looked around to check everything was ship-shape with the stowing of the two inflatable coach boats. Sometimes the volunteer parents did not always ensure the boats were set properly on their trailers and the outboards tilted correctly on the stern of each boat; so the outboard propellers did not drag the floor when the boats would be pulled out next race day. The two semi-rigid inflatable were nestled around the larger wooden boat that the club had built up from a basic hull donated by an elderly benefactor; an old boy of the estuary club. Dave thought the 'Penguin' as the boat was called, was a white elephant. It was too cranky in any sort of a breeze to use as the prime rescue boat. So mostly it sat in the boat shed. Only being taken out when Tony Bailey, who had overseen the building project, appeared at the club occasionally and insisted the boat be taken out; if only to remind people it was still there. Left to Dave and the regular club members, the Penguin was destined to remain in the boat-shed. Dave heard the sound of a shower running and he looked across at the part of the boat-shed partitioned off with mens and womens locker rooms. The club faithful had drifted off now the racing was over for the day and he was puzzled who would be in the locker rooms this late after the racing had concluded. He walked across the boat-shed towards the locker rooms and deduced the shower was running in the womens locker room. Dave paused at the door and called if anyone was in there. No answer, so he called again. Still no answer. Dave frowned believing the shower had been left on by an absent minded girl; possibly being pressured by a parent to hurry up. He had found showers running on occasions he did the final check before locking the club facilities. He stepped cautiously inside the womens locker room, feeling for all like a thief about to burglarize a house. He walked towards the sound of the running shower and saw the curtain to the stall was drawn closed. He pushed the curtain cautiously and peered between the gap he had created and his jaw dropped and he stood stunned in surprise at what he saw. A girl was sitting on the floor in the corner of the shower stall with the water playing down onto her lower abdomen. She was naked and had her legs pulled up so her heels were in close to her buttocks and her knees were splayed. The girl was playing with her sex; masturbating as her head lolled forward and she was clearly unaware he was there. As the shock cleared his brain his first reaction was to withdraw and get the hell out of there. Regroup and call to the girl from the safety of the boat-shed floor. She hadn’t seen him so would never know he saw her. But the fact she was clearly trying to masturbate using the shower as a stimulus had excited him and he remained rooted to the spot staring at the girl’s hand working her bald sex. He recognized her as Jane Poole. Jane was a recalcitrant twelve year old that was pushed into the sailing group as a way for her parents to rid themselves of the precocious girl for at least part of each weekend in the summer months. She’d learned little of what she was taught and her heart wasn’t in the sport. She did have a keen interest in boys however and there was a quiet rumor amongst adult club-members that she’d be knocked up before she was thirteen, the way she carried on. Not that there was any proof she was sexually active, rather it was just a belief most adults had about the preteen; judging by her behavior around older boys. Dave stared at the girl absorbed in masturbating and he cringed when he realized he had lewdly licked his lips watching her; an involuntary reaction to the erotic sight he was witnessing. He was semi hard with arousal at what he was witnessing. Jane was actually very pretty. Slim and lithe with shoulder length straight dark hair and gorgeous eyelashes framing her brown eyes. Given the secret mutterings about the girl, Dave was sure their was an adult man or two at the club who secretly harbored illicit thoughts about her. Dave had to admit he saw the woman-to-be budding in the girl and had thought about her sexually on more than one occasion. Dave had two sons, both younger than Jane. He had no concept of preteen girls and their growing bodies. The only naked female child he’d seen was an accidental peek of his younger sister Rose when she was about eight and in bed with the flu; and her mother was given her a bed-bath. Dave gazed at the girl and noted the small breasts with pointy nipples as she stooped forward working her crotch diligently with her hand; the fingers of the other hand seemingly pushed into her vaginal opening. He was now thinking straight again and was about to withdraw when Jane moved a little and caught a glimpse of his sea boots in her peripheral vision. Her head snapped up and she looked up at him with a look of horror on her face that she had been caught. For what seemed like an eternity to Dave, he locked eyes with the girl. She froze as she stared at him, her mouth open in surprise. He wondered why she hadn’t scrambled to make herself decent, and was worried now that she had actually seen him spying on her. Yet she hadn’t screamed and made no effort to move. Seeing him staring down at her and realizing he could have been there for some minutes, a small impish smile came to Jane’s lips and she cocked her head to one side in a coquettish way. “Want to wash my back Mr. Hewett?” Jane said with a broad grin. “It’s not your back that needs it by the looks of it,” Dave answered without thinking. Jane giggled and sat back leaning against the corner of the shower stall. She had made no move to remove her fingertips from her vaginal opening but she had stopped rubbing her sex and the hand rested on the floor of the shower beside her. Certain she wasn’t going to scream and create a fuss, Dave reached inside the curtain and turned the shower off. Jane looked at his hand turning the dial and as he withdrew it her free hand snaked out and she deftly caught his wrist. He realized she wanted a hand up so they twisted their hands together so they locked fingers and he helped her stand up; Jane removing her fingers from her sex as she now stood facing him and still holding his hand. She liked Dave. She sometimes hung around with his oldest son Sam just to get close to Dave. She thought he was cute and sexy for an old guy. Dave was forty-two and he was a very handsome man. Dave swallowed hard staring at the girl's nubile naked body and as he drank in her burgeoning beauty he felt her hand push deliberately against his crotch and he started and his knees went weak; and he heard a roaring sound in his head as the realization she had goosed him struck home. “You’ve got a stiffy,” he heard her say. Dave stood flummoxed by the girl’s forward approach and Jane grasped the thick tube in his cargo shorts. He stood rooted to the spot and heard the noise of his zipper being opened. “Oh dear God,” he gasped under his breath as her hand went into his flies and rummaged around until she felt bare flesh of his cock in his shorts. Jane pulled the thickening cock unceremoniously from his flies, and letting his hand go, she drew her bangs behind her ears and squatted to inspect the thick stiff cock jutting up from Dave’s flies. “It’s a biggie,” Jane giggled and took the cock in both hands. “Oh Christ no,” Dave gasped quietly as she began to awkwardly jack his cock. ‘Get out of there you stupid bastard,’ a voice screamed in his head. The flush of lust had begun creeping through Dave’s body and instead of obeying the voice, h dropped a hand to her shoulder. She took this as a sign of consent and looked up fleetingly and grinned. It seemed all her fantasies had come true and dropping one hand off his cock to rest against his thigh, Jane took his cock into her mouth. Just the head at first, swirling he tongue around the big knob as she got used to the taste, texture and size of Dave’s cock-head. “Oh geez this is crazy,” Dave gasped under his breath but his body was now abandoning itself to the excitement of not just having his cock sucked, but by a fetching preteen girl who was making a good fist of it; no pun intended. Dave surrendered to the girl’s whim to suck his cock. He dropped both hands on her shoulders, moving inside the shower curtain as Jane squatted in the shower box and blew him. Soon his hands went to her head and Dave began working his hips. For a moment or two he was sure Jane was experienced at this, she was so good. She got him quickly and he felt the cum bubble in his groin, and he grabbed her head and held it firm as he pushed into her. Suddenly the preteen was not so confident and she made gagging and gurlking noises as he shoved too far back in her throat. Her hands went to his hips and she tried to push herself back but he was too strong. He blasted her with several long ribbons of cum that she felt well up in her throat and flood her mouth. The girl twisted and struggled to get the thick cock out of her mouth. She succeeded right at the conclusion of his release as he had passed through the delicious flush of ejaculation and didn’t bother to fight her any more. The girl falling back on her haunches and wrenching her mouth away, coughing and spluttering semen across the shower stall. He stood back with his cock waving about as she wiped her mouth and continued to cough and splutter until she brought herself under control. She didn’t look at him but kept her head turned away as she worked her mouth sluicing saliva to rid herself of the residue of his semen. She wiped at her lips to rid the slippery fluid from them; the odor of his ejaculation pungent in her nostrils. “Come on, let me help you up,” Dave said with a sense of concern. If she’d sucked cock before, she’d not had a load dumped in her mouth that was for sure. Jane let him help her up and she stood still wiping at her face and chin as she worked her jaw. The taste was rapidly disappearing although the aroma of his cock and cum was still evident to her smell. His cock was still waving erect from his flies and she glanced down. Now that the rush of his climax had passed and she was otherwise unscathed, she dropped a hand to it and squeezed it, causing the residue of semen to pool on the tip. He took her head and she had little choice but to bend and lick his cock clear of his cum. “Good girl,” he said quietly, and he released her bangs from behind her ears and smoothed her hair tenderly. "That was fantastic…you were fantastic," he said softly. Jane grinned mawkishly at him, pleased he had complimented her. It was her first time despite the numerous secret times she acted it out with a banana, or the handle of her hair brush, or most anything that was phallic in shape and she was alone. She’d even gone as far as using the handle of a favorite hairbrush in her vagina; being careful not to hurt herself as she moved the tapered handle greased with Vaseline from the bathroom as a lubricant. The girl had a higher than normal interest in sex and had already experiment on herself. This latest episode in the shower was one of many of a long line of attempts to give herself pleasure by her own hand. None of which was yet to succeed although she enjoyed trying. Dave studied the girl and saw how pretty she was. He stroked her face tenderly and let the pad of his thumb graze her lips. Jane sucked at the thumb and drew it into her lips seductively; all the while holding his still hard cock in her hand. Dave saw she was not fazed by what had happened and he admired her guts to go through with this. He glanced down at her small puffy breasts and tiny pointed nipples and he felt the need to fondle them. She smiled and pushed her chest out inviting his touch. He drew his hand all around her chest, stroking the breasts and twiddling her nipples. As one hand roved over her prepubescent breast, his other sneakily slipped between her legs. Jane gasped and grinned as she felt his fingers stroke along her vulva. They pair stood fondling each other for several minutes until Dave became aware of a vehicle outside of the boat-shed. It sounded like a V8 engine and as he narrowed his eyes wondering who was coming up to the boat-shed this late in the day, Jane suddenly gasped. “My folks,’ she said as she recognized the sound of her father’s truck; her face looked concerned at the prospect of being caught. “Shit,” Dave exclaimed and quickly stepped back and began putting his cock inside his pants. “Get dressed. I’ll be out in the paint locker. I’ll act surprised your still here if your folks come into the boat-shed. Otherwise get dressed and go out as you would normally,” he explained quickly. He vanished from the womens locker and went to the back of the boat-shed and opened the store where they kept paint and rope and other such items used for the maintenance of the yacht club buoys and boats. After what seemed like an eternity, as Dave cowered in the storeroom, he heard voices so steeling himself, he went out into the boat-shed. He saw Jane standing inside the doorway and a burly man beyond her standing outside. Jane was clearly remonstrating with her father about being late. He countered she only seemed just ready and the pair bickered as they vanished from the doorway. Dave stayed inside the boat-house until he heard the truck start and finally it was silent again as Jane left with her father. He quickly locked the paint store and then after a quick check of the locker rooms, he left the boat-shed, locking it behind him. He had already locked the clubhouse nestled on the side of the estuary. There was nothing for it but to go home. He climbed into his old Subaru station wagon and set off the fifteen minutes drive home where his wife Terri and sons Sam and Ben would be likely having a soda and cookies, waiting for him to join them after the day’s sailing. As he drove home he wrestled with what had happened. On the very basic level he had molested an underage girl. Induced her to suck his cock and debased her by cumming in her mouth. On the other hand he’d just had one of the most exciting and erotic experiences he could ever imagine; complete with the excitement of the arrival of her father and the possibility of being caught. He felt a sense of exhilaration he’d seemingly got away with it. That blunted the remorse he felt about molesting the girl. She should be safe at their yacht club. Not open to be seduced by one of its most trusted members. But who had seduced who? That was the question. Dave wasn’t so confident he drove the situation at all. The girl had him the moment he poked his head into the shower stall. Perhaps she didn’t plan for him to discover her like that but she sure knew how to develop the situation. **** Because the yacht club was set on an estuary, tides affected the sailing program, where some weekends the tide was low during most of the waking hours. They lost several weekends a season so the club conducted its program on both Saturday and Sunday those weekends their was a high tide during the day. Jane wasn’t at sailing the next day, Sunday. Dave felt like shit, wondering why the girl did not show. Certain she had had remorse about the oral sex in the shower; and maybe she would unburden herself. By the time she appeared the following Saturday he was pensive and worried something might have been said, yet he would have most certainly have had a visit from the cops if she’d squealed on him. She put him at ease immediately with a cheery smile and a sly wave others couldn’t see as she began setting her boat up to go sailing. She was wearing yellow short shorts and her butt and legs looked sensational. She was getting a few secret glances from some of the adult male sailors rigging their boats. As Dave walked from the clubhouse to the boat-shed she flagged him down. “I’ve forgotten my rudder," she lamented as he approached wondering why she was beckoning him over. “Oh darn,” he said nervously; his eyes searching hers for any acknowledgement of what they had done last weekend. “Could I use one of the club boats rudders?” she asked forlornly looking at her boat knowing she couldn’t sail it. “We have learners groups today. All the club boats are in use," he replied. Just then the club coach Alex Higgins came up to the pair inquiring what the problem was; telling Jane she should be changed into her sailing gear ready to launch by now. Dave explained the girl’s problem. Alex was unsympathetic and made a snide remark about her heart not being in the sport and stalked off to harass other juniors onto the water in their boats. “I guess I can’t go,” Jane said forlornly. “I guess not,” Dave answered and the pair stared at her rudderless boat. They were silent for a moment then Jane perked up. “I could come out in the rescue boat with you,” she said brightly. "I could watch all the other kids and learn something at least," she continued brightly. “Good idea,” Dave said realizing it was a darn good suggestion. "Get changed into your sailing gear, and grab some sun block and a hat to bring with you.” The deal was struck. She’d be his helper in the smaller of the two semi-rigid inflatables. Even Alex approved of their compromise. It became patently obvious to Dave about ten yards from the shore after they launched, that her being with him was most probably staged by her. As she lay back on the front seat of the boat, her arms resting on the tapering inflated pontoons of the boat, she spread her legs and lay back and smiled knowingly at him. She had worn a bathing suit and not her short legged rubber wetsuit she usually wore for sailing. As she would not be sliding around the side of her boat, the wetsuit was not required here in the inflatable. She wore a polo shirt under a life vest to cover her upper body; with a pair of cheap sunglasses and a baseball cap to round off her ensemble. Dave stared at the swell of her sex in her light blue bathing suit and the truth slowly dawned on him. He couldn’t help but admire the conniving little wench and he grinned helplessly at how she had managed it. He was sure she left her rudder at home on purpose. The afternoon on the water deteriorated into a furtive grab-fest. Dave and Jane managed to merge for brief moments while undertaking patrol duties and he felt the girl’s crotch and she grabbing for his cock which seemed to be hard all afternoon on the water. When sailboats or other patrol boats were near, she splayed herself back on the seat and flashed him. Her body hunched down below the side of the pontoons so she could not be seen by others, but she could expose her vulva by moving the crotch of her bathing suit aside revealing the dark slit between her labia. Dave briefly thought of his wife Terri in the clubhouse watching their sons sailing through binoculars. Her reminded himself he’d best be careful in case Terri was moved to zero the binoculars in on him and Jane. So he made sure any need to move forward towards her in the boat was for good reason, while he fondled the girl’s crotch and sex. Jane likewise was careful to appear their actions were normal in the small boat. The pair had resumed from where the left off the previous Saturday. After the racing was concluded, there was the usual rush to get boats back to shore as the outgoing tide was now fully under way draining the estuary. On occasions, particularly in light winds, a boat or two had to be towed back before the estuary drained and they were left aground as the water receded. There was a rush to use the ramps to pull boats and patrol boats alike from the receding tide. Jane helped Dave with the patrol boat and he asked her to hose it down with fresh water while he went and checked on his sons. Teri was with the pair who had their boats grouped together on the grass rigging area as they chatted about their days racing. After chatting with his sons and Terri he said for Terri to take the boys home after they had a soda and a candy bar in the clubhouse with their peers; as they usually did. He’d be home after locking up. He was duty warden for the month. He returned to the patrol boat sitting on it’s trailer and Jane was sitting inside of it waiting for him as the assembled club members wheeled their boats away to de-rig and finish for the day. She helped Dave pull the boat into the boat-shed beside Penguin, and being the last of two to be put in place, Dave locked the large double doors through which the boats were taken in and out of the shed. “Best get a shower,” he said with a grin and a wink at Jane. “Take your time,” he added He wanted her to be the last in the locker room as she was last week. She got his message. She smiled knowingly and went to the womens locker room to shower and get dressed. Dave busied himself checking the start box and club house were tidy and ready for the next day as people quickly began to leave the club facility. The racing program had started at 10:30 that morning and now, concluded for the day, it was still early Saturday afternoon. Plenty of time for people to do things on a Saturday with racing concluded for another day. People didn’t hang around as much as if it was a late start time and the day was nearly over when they finished. On those days people tarried in the clubhouse for chips, a beer, and a chat. But not so today. As it was the previous week, as the last car left the lot, Dave was left alone walking steadily to the boat-shed,ostensibly to do the rounds before closing up for the day. The lot was deserted and he felt the only thing to be alert for was Jane’s parents. The notoriously late couple who had no idea of punctuality. They were apparently avid golfers and Jane being in the sailing club was a way of getting a free babysitter while they indulged themselves in their sport; secure in the knowledge the sometimes precocious Jane was being handled by others. Certain everyone had left the complex, Dave locked the boat-shed door after him, from the inside. He slowly walked across the floor towards the locker room listening keenly to hear if a shower was running. He could hear the hiss of the water and he glanced furtively behind himself out of reflex, and stepped into the womens locker room. He walked carefully to the shower curtain that was pulled closed and gently pushed it aside a little and peered in. Jane was sitting on the floor as she had been the previous week only this time she was obviously just waiting for him. It wasn’t a bathing suit she had worn that day but a bikini and she was naked from the waist down with only the bikini bottom on. She’d pushed the shower head away so she was not sitting in the stream although she clearly had been under the water at some point as she was wet. He opened the curtain wide and reached in and turned the water off. The girl grinned knowingly at him and she stood and waited to see what he would do. “Get your towel,” he said quietly and stepped back. Jane stepped out of the stall and went to her gear bag and retrieved a large fluffy towel. She turned to face him holding it at her side and he tarried and fondled her small breasts and tiny nipples. He seemed almost trance-like as he played with her breasts. Eventually he seemed to snap out of it and beckoned her without a word. Quizzically the girl traipsed after him as he threaded his way around the boats in the boat-shed until he waited for her at the end of the larger boat Penguin. The boat was open at the back end. Useful for pulling sail boats aboard in the event of a urgent rescue in bad weather. Sitting on the low launching trailer, the deck was about groin high on Dave. He jumped onto the boat which groaned as the trailer wobbled with his sudden weight, and he disappeared inside the open cabin, returning with an adult life vest and what seemed like a small jar in his other hand. Jane stood at the end of the boat watching intrigued at what he was doing. He opened the life vest up and lay it back like a small padded rug. He smiled knowingly at her and took the towel from her and lay it over the life vest. It slowly occurred to Jane this was to be their bed. The life vest and towel for her to lie on. For the first time since the events of the previous weekend and today, she felt pensive and unsure of herself. It was obvious Dave Hewett had the intention of fucking her today. Now she wasn’t so sure but when he motioned her to back up to the edge of Penguin’s rear deck, she obeyed. Pausing as he stooped and removed her bikini bottom in one swoop. “We haven’t much time” he said softly and gently pushed her chest. Jane felt her way back with a hand, and feeling exposed to his gaze, she lay back on the vest and towel. It was softer than the hard wood of Penguin’s deck. Dave lifted her heels and placed them near her buttocks at the edge of the deck and she lay back feeling uncertain about this and a little embarrassed as his eyes roved hungrily over her sex. She felt opened to the world right now. A simmering sense of rebellion was bubbling under and she was trying to work out how to cry off what he wanted without making a fool of herself. Given her behavior in the patrol boat that day she could hardly say ‘no’ now they were alone here in the boat-shed. He’d clearly formulated where it was to happen before hand. As Jane wrestled with the thought to sit up and get off the boat, he surprised her by dropping to his knees and raking his tongue the length of her sex. She started and made a little ‘ooooh’ noise as his tongue burrowed into her vulva. A broad smile came to her lips as she realized he was eating her. Something she thought about a lot during her bouts masturbation. Instead of jumping up and fleeing, she lay back and pushed her hands down to his head as the tongue started to feel nice sliding over her preteen cunt. Jane did not get genuinely aroused. Just as had happened with her own hand working her sex in bed or the times in the shower, she enjoyed it without feeling the flush of impending pleasure. She lay back gasping and moaning gently as Dave worked her over with his mouth. Dribbling saliva down her slit and wetting her vaginal opening. He soon got two fingers into her as he suckled and bit gently at her fleshy labia and the little hooded bean at the top of her vulva. He went on for maybe ten or twelve minutes until his jaw started to feel tired. By this time his wife Terri would be squealing and gibbering in delight at his ministrations. But Jane was still sexually immature and he had not suspected anything different despite her masturbatory efforts he witnessed in the shower the Saturday before. But he enjoyed the feel of her sex; the smell and the texture of her inner labia and vaginal opening. So feeling he had had enough excitement working the girl over with his mouth, he stood up and dropped his shorts and undershorts, revealing his hard cock waving in front of him. Jane was disappointed the oral sex had apparently ended and as he reached for the small jar he’d sat to the side, she realized it was some sort of lubricant. She was right. He’d taken a small jar of Vaseline from the first aid cabinet in Penguin's cabin and he was now dipping his fingers into it. Once again a fleeting thought of sitting up and getting away crossed Jane’s mind. But she was mesmerized by Dave smearing the fingers with Vaseline; then the look of lust as he pushed the gooey fingers into her. She lay captive by her own wish not to be seen as a tease. He lubed her quickly and she swallowed hard as she saw him wipe the residue from his fingers on the reddened head of his cock. With a lustful leer he positioned himself between her spread knees and she felt the cock-head nudge her tight opening. Jane bit her lower lip and her eyes darted about as she felt him press against her. She held her breath and closed her eyes tight and Dave slowly pushed his greased cock-head into her slippery but tight tunnel. The cock was bigger than the fingers and she groaned as he stretched her open. Moving slowly forward; pulling back a little before pushing in further. He took nearly three minutes to penetrate her. Slow in-out movements allowing him to gain more depth. Jane’s eyes slowly opened as she realized there was little or no discomfort. That the expected pain she anticipated did not come. Not knowing she had already accidentally broken her hymen months earlier with her hairbrush handle. Dave flattened our over her and when she could feel his ample pubic bush against her tender vulva, her eyes opened wide realizing she had an adult cock buried balls deep inside her. “You OK?” he whispered, noting the look on her face. She nodded and gasped as he had seemed to penetrate her to the very core of her being. Satisfied she was used to him, he slowly began to fuck her. Going gently as he slid in and out; the foreskin of his cock equalizing along its length as he slid in and out. Jane began little grunting noises each in-stroke as his cock thudded against her tender insides. She gripped his upper arms with her fingers and he took the weight off his upper body on his forearms braced on the deck by her sides; and he worked his hips obscenely as he fucked her. Slowly picking up the pace and Jane’s voice changing in tone as he got faster. The Penguin began to move with Dave’s efforts and the trailer creaked and groaned in unison to the man fucking the girl. Soon there was a quiet cacophony of sounds with Dave grunting in pleasure at Jane’s tightness; Jane groaning and moaning as the cock shoved more steadily into her, and the creaking and groaning of penguin on the trailer. The sounds went on for nearly ten minutes. A change was signaled by Dave starting to hiss through his teeth and gasp in pleasure as he felt his ejaculation engage somewhere in the pit of his groin. As the tide rushed forward he gasped more loudly and his deliberate in-out fucking motion gave way to short sharp rutting jerks as his orgasm took over. Grabbing the girl’s shoulders Dave swung at her fully as if it were his wife or an adult woman and Jane responded by groaning and gasping. The boat creaking and groaning on its trailer and suddenly Dave crying out in joy as he filled the young girl’s immature womb as he let one spurt of delirium follow the other as he flooded her. **** “I’ll wait with you,” he said as they finished packing her boat up. “It’s OK,” she said feeling embarrassed her parents were so late, yet again. “No…I can’t leave you alone…anything might happen," he said blithely, not realizing his words were redundant. She glanced at him seeing the folly in his comment. Something had already happened to her and he was the cause of it. Not that she totally regretted it. She knew something would happen that day. She’d played a key part in it by her provocative displays in the patrol boat. The senselessness of his comment hit him and he blanched. “You know what I mean,” he mumbled, trying to play down the irony of his words. They pulled her sailboat over to its place between the other club members boats. Turning it over so rain would not flood the inside. She dragged the light canvas cover over the bottom and they snugged it down with bungee cords. The pair propped themselves lightly against the upturned boat and waited. It was a full half hour before her parents arrived. As soon as her father saw Dave he looked worried. He was well aware they were almost always late picking their daughter up. Now it appeared someone had to stay with her until they arrived. He got out of the truck apologizing profusely, his wife remaining inside. Jane did not hold back but gave her father a serve on how humiliating it was their being late all the time. Dave attempted to introduce himself to her father in the midst of Jane chastising her father. The disjointed greeting out of the way her father repeated his apology and tried to start conversation by asking how she went at racing that day. By now Jane was in the truck slumped against the door looking sullen as her mother tried to talk to her. Dave explained to her father about her forgetting the rudder for her boat, and how she made do by going out in the small patrol boat with him. Her father acted as if all was well that ended well and lightened up as he prepared to get back in the truck. “Bye Jane,” Dave called to the scowling girl. She ignored him. It worried him she had changed moods so rapidly. But then maybe she was acting pissed for her father’s benefit to eliminate any hint of impropriety of being alone at the yacht club with him. Or maybe she was genuinely regretting the events in the boat-shed. They left and Dave walked to his car and climbed inside. He was way later than he had thought he would be. He was taking Terri and the boys out to a movie tonight and he was now running behind time. He drove home thinking about the events of the day. After he’d taken Jane’s virginity he helped her back to the womens locker room. As she dressed he told her he couldn’t make her pregnant even if she had periods. He had had a vasectomy some years back after Ben was born. Jane seemed disinterested and dressed mechanically; not saying much except when he pressed her. They had left the boat-shed after he had replaced the life vest and Vaseline on Penguin, and Dave had locked the shed door. She didn’t seem unhappy or resentful at all. Just quiet; almost reflective. It was only when her father loomed into view that she seemed to become sour. She wasn’t seen at the club for some weeks. At first Dave was worried she was having deep regrets and did not want to see him. But after a few weeks went by he felt less concerned she might say something to somebody. Then he heard by accident that her boat was for sale. Sure enough there was a For Sale note on the club notice board. And a few weeks later her boat disappeared; obviously sold out of the club. One night a couple of years later he’d gone into town to meet a group of buddies. He walked past the movie complex and saw a group of teenagers hanging around together. He stopped and stared, as on the far side of the group stood Jane. She must be fourteen now. She was dressed way to adult for a nubile young girl. She wore a too-short black skirt and white tight tank top showing larger breasts than he had enjoyed. With her hair tied up she looked older at first glance, yet her face was still young and fresh. She paused in what she was saying to one of her girlfriends and stared at him. He felt sick. Was she about to whisper “there’s the guy who raped me” to her friend. Then she turned back to her friend and her patter seemed to resume. But down near the short hem of her skirt one hand simply lifted the fingers. It was a discrete wave. Dave smiled to himself and gave a small nod in acknowledgement and moved off in the direction he was going. Over the two years that had passed he’d thought about her a lot. Mostly ending in worry she would one day spill the beans. Go off the rails and be dragged into counseling; revealing what they had done in the boat-shed. On balance, she may well have had far more worrisome experiences since then than with him. Not that that gave him much comfort. He would have to live with what he had done and hope the adult Jane did not one day wake up and decide she was a sexual abuse victim. Dave walked on grimly, yet it had been good to see her again.
