"So, what do you say, Katy?"
I was sitting in my kitchen with my mom and Mrs. Stoddard, staring blankly at the both of them. I had no clue how to respond to what Mrs. Stoddard had just asked me.
"Katy?" My mom asked, confused as to why I wasn't responding.
"I, uh, I don't know," I said quickly. "I mean, it's a whole week...."
My mom looked at me like I was crazy. "Hon, you'd be getting a week-long paid vacation during your spring break," she told me. "What's there to think about?"
I sighed. Mrs. Stoddard had come over to ask if I'd be interested in accompanying the family to Florida on their vacation. The Stoddards had rented a big beach house for the week -- I'd get my own room and everything. All she'd need was for me to watch the girls at night if she and Mr. Stoddard wanted to go out for dinner or drinks, and to play with them on the beach. I'd have tons of time to just lay around and work on my tan, and of course I'd be compensated generously. Sounded like the perfect arrangement.
Except for the one big problem that neither my mother nor Mrs. Stoddard knew about, of course.
"Uh, sure, I'll go," I said, like an idiot. "Sounds fun."

A few weeks later, about two hours into the trip, I knew I'd made a terrible mistake. The five of us were sitting in the airport, about to board our plane, when I took a look at my seat number.
"12F?" Mr. Stoddard asked me with a smirk. "What a coincidence. I'm 12E."
In a panic, I turned towards Mrs. Stoddard. "Are we all sitting in the same row?" I asked nervously.
"The girls and I are in row 8 on the left," Mrs. Stoddard said. "Sorry, we couldn't get seats all together."
"I can sit with the girls, if you want," I said quickly. "Then you and Mr. S can relax together! Have a few drinks or something."
Mrs. Stoddard smiled at me. "That's so sweet, Katy," she said. "But Vivian and Emma get nervous on planes. They want me to sit with them."
"Yeah," Emma chimed in, leaning against her mom's shoulder. "Mommy sits with us!"
"It'll give you a chance to just enjoy the flight," Mrs. Stoddard assured me. "You don't need to be watching the girls 24/7."
I tried to smile at her but my throat suddenly went dry.
"Don't worry, Katy," Mr. Stoddard assured me, patting the seat next to his. "I'm a great seat buddy." I knew he was being fake in front of his wife, but I had no choice but to join him.
The flight was a fairly short one -- only two hours --and the first hour went by without incident. Upon sitting down I immediately turned towards the window and put my headphones in, determined to ignore Mr. Stoddard. And I was surprised to find he didn't bother me at all. He didn't try to speak to me, his hand didn't find its way into my lap, and he even kindly handed me my complimentary soda and pretzels when the flight attendant came around.
We were almost in Palm Beach when I realized I really needed to pee. I'd been trying to hold it, but I knew I'd be incredibly uncomfortable for the rest of the flight. Groaning, I took out my headphones.
"Hey, can you let me out? I have to use the bathroom," I said to Mr. Stoddard, as calmly and politely as if he were a perfect stranger.
"Of course," he said with a giant smile, unbuckling his seatbelt. I rolled my eyes.
"Stop," I hissed at him as I shuffled by.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"I don't know," I replied, shooting him a suspicious look. "I just know you're up to something. So stop." I darted down the aisle to the bathroom and relieved my full bladder.
And when I slid open the bathroom door, Mr. Stoddard was standing right in front of it. I let out a quiet yelp. Before I could think, Mr. Stoddard forced his way inside the tiny bathroom and locked the door behind him. Our bodies were pressed fully against each other -- there was no room to move. No escape.
"This is a new low, even for you," I said.
"Relax, Katy," Mr. Stoddard said, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me even tighter against him. "I just wanted a little bit of alone time. Even I don't want to fuck in this gross bathroom. The logistics are a complete nightmare."
"Alone time?" I mumbled. My face was against his chest, and my voice was muffled by his shirt. Mr. Stoddard continued to hold me like that, and I had to admit it felt kind of nice. He smelled really good, like fresh detergent and aftershave, which was a welcome scent in the bathroom.
"I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page about this week," he said softly, his hands moving from my waist down to my ass. He grabbed my denim-clad butt and squeezed.
"I can already tell you, we're not on the same page," I said defiantly.
"We're just gonna have to be extra careful," Mr. Stoddard said, as if I hadn't spoken. "Especially after Vivian almost caught us last time."
"That won't be an issue," I spat, "seeing as how I told you that last time was the LAST TIME."
Mr. Stoddard frowned. "You didn't mean that," he said.
"I did," I shot back, stomping my foot for emphasis.
"Then why are you holding me so close?" Mr. Stoddard was grinning now, and there was a glint in his beautiful blue eyes.
Damn it! It was true. While the bathroom made it impossible for our bodies not to touch, I'd wrapped my arms around him all by myself. I immediately let go of him.
"We should get back to our seats," he said. Mr. Stoddard leaned down, gave me a big, open-mouthed kiss, and fondled my breasts. "This is gonna be a fun week." And then he slipped out of the bathroom and headed back to his seat.

"Katy, your room is SO cool!" Emma excitedly bounced up and down on my bed, taking it all in. She was right -- my room was awesome.
I'd gotten the giant bedroom on the first floor, while the girls' and Mr. and Mrs. Stoddard's rooms were upstairs. It had a giant bed with fluffy white bedding, big bay windows you could see the ocean from, and tasteful nautical decor. I even had a private bathroom. My suite made me want to throw open my arms and scream, "Florida!!! Is one hell of a drug!" This week was looking up already. All I needed to do was get creative with keeping Mr. Stoddard away from me, and maybe I'd actually enjoy this trip.
"Your room is pretty cool, too," I pointed out. In fact, the entire house was gorgeous. The Stoddards must've shelled out a lot to rent this beach-front palace.
