Story
Most Sundays that Greg did his Surf lifesaving duty he was on patrol - looking after swimmers in the water. In the background on these summer Sunday mornings, Nippers - the junior programme intended to get kids interested in becoming future members - was also running further up the beach.
Nippers had become something of a runaway success - as much a social venue for the parents as something to get the kids out of the house and doing exercise. It was usually run by the older members.
However, occasionally Greg would be asked to help out - being delegated one of the activities or age groups to look after with beach games. This morning Greg and Kate had been allocated the job of teaching the youngest recruits the game of flag racing. This is like a game of musical chairs, except here there is an ever diminishing number of flags that participants are aiming to grab to stay in the game.
From the outset I was impressed by how well Greg communicated with the youngsters. When addressing them as a group he projected a loud but friendly voice using simple but clear words that could be heard not just by the kids, but also by the parents in the outer ring. But when addressing an individual child, he bent down to look them in the eye and used a quieter confident but unchallenging voice. The kids certainly responded to him and did everything he asked of them.
He was also true to his beliefs in the way he encouraged along those kids who were not naturals at it rather than merely trying to develop champions out of these who were.
First up Kate demonstrated how you lie face down on the sand until the starting single, whereupon you leap up, turn around and run towards the flag finishing with a flying dive at it. Kate of course executed it to perfection. Then I heard him ask -
"OK, kids, who'd like to see an adult that has never done it before try that out?"
Not realising that I was for this purpose a full on adult, I got a bit of a shock when the kids exclamation of support resulted in him turning towards me and asking the masses -
"Will we ask Karen to have a go?"
Their loud response told me I was trapped; Greg would pay a price for this later! I don't think he was factoring in that my brief bikini was much less secure for this sort of thing than Kate's club one piece. Still having accepted the role I was determined to put on a good show. And so I would have had my dive not brought me up nearly a metre short of the flag, leaving me crawling over the sand until I could finally lay my hands on it. You don't slide very well in sand (or at least I don't). Then before I got up I had to go through a mental check list making sure all the parts of my bikini were in their correct place.
While doing that I heard Greg announce
"A big thankyou to Karen for showing us perfectly how to recover from a misjudged dive."
This was followed by a round of applause mixed with laughter from the kids. Just as I was getting up, Greg asked the crowd -
"Will we ask Kate and Karen to have a match against each other?"
Again I was trapped by the crowds support for the suggestion.
Even though Kate had all the advantages in the match, my competitive instincts came up and made sure I was going to try my hardest to beat her. And for one delusional minute I thought I might when running towards the flag, the tunnel vision focusing on it showed no sign of Kate either in front of me or just to my side. I dived for it, already counting a surprise victory when Kate's hand suddenly appeared over the top of my head and snatched the flag out from under me. We ended up in a pile, Kate on top of me clutching the flag of victory in her hand. She whispered -
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."
This time I did have to make an adjustment or two to my bikini before I was decent enough to get up off the sand.
The rest of the morning passed in a busy blur. First Greg gave them a couple of turns with enough flags for everyone. Then he re-sorted them to make sure stronger players were alongside each other - giving the less strong ones a go at staying in the games for longer.
Eventually the Nippers programme was over for the morning and I had Greg to myself again; any thoughts of homicide for having roped me in having long since passed.
By now you know about how powerful the hormonal forces that Greg unleashed in me were. Latent maternal hormones that had been dormant in my body had been brought to the boil by my feelings for Greg. While still having a long term plan, thoughts of marriage and having children flooded unguarded section of my brain. They were thoughts I kept carefully suppressed least I scare Greg away with them. But seeing Greg doing such a great job of being a role model for and leader of the kids had brought them rushing back. As always I tried to ignore them - to bury them back inside me.
Nippers had started early, so we'd not yet been for our morning run. Predictably Greg wasn't going to let me get away without it so we set out along the beach; our pace somewhat slower as the day had started to heat up. By now my fitness was such that we could easily converse while running at a steady jog and so our time running passed in pleasurable conversation.
We'd been running for quite a while when the conversation turned to the morning's events. As I gave expression to my thoughts about how he'd handled the kids, I wasn't really being manipulative when I commented to him -
"Greg you're really great with the kids. I really admired how you dealt with them. They all look up to you. I can see you're going to make a great father one day."
"They're a good bunch of kids. Still I've seen some of them be a bit of a hand-full with their parents. I think as an outsider they give you a bit more respect. Anyhow, it's easier to be a good parent when you've got good kids. If you're the mother of my children then I don't doubt they'll be fantastic kids."
It took a second for the implications of what Greg had just said to sink in. Then it was like someone had found that pool of boiling hormones and thrown a hand grenade in spraying them everywhere from my crutch to my head. My brothers often spoke of something causing an 'instant hard-on'; an erection that goes from nothing to 110% in a nano-second and by implication it being one so powerful - so sexually frustrating - that it seemingly demands some sort of immediate attention. As a sister I had simply rolled my eyes at such talk and dismissed it as silly boys stuff. Now I had the female equivalent of that with a vengeance.
'Lady-boners' Kate calls them; usually as she leans in to me as we're sitting on the beach, points out some new to town tourist guy and asks -
"Does watching him give you a lady-boner too?"
