				Kayla Morgan had been an orphan all her life, moved from foster home to foster home without any permanent family. She was given up as a baby and never knew her real parents. She remained sweet and kind through the whole ordeal, never turning bitter or angry. She had been trough some rough placements, abusive ones, the type of family that only brought her in for the money they would be compensated.&nbsp; Most families were nice though, but there was always some reason or another that the families she stayed with could never adopt her permanently. Now 17, she would be going to her final foster home, The Stevenson's. She was months away&nbsp; from her eighteenth birthday, and being legally and adult.<br><br>Kayla was escorted by the social worker to her new, and last home. The house was really nice, it looked as if the family may have had some money, but looks could always be deceiving. She stood there with her flowered suitcase and took a deep breath. This was it, would they like her? Were there other kids? Would she fit in. The social worker patted her on the shoulder and rang the bell. Kayla just stood there and waited.....<br><br><br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e8/Kira2.jpg)

				Abi was pacing through the house in her bikini on the way to the pool in the yard.&nbsp; She was in a good mood today, her college transfer had all gone through and she wouldnt have to leave home to travel to college next semester.&nbsp; She knew today the new 'girl' was arriving.&nbsp; She wasnt sure how she felt about her coming in, she had been told Kayla had had a rough time of it.&nbsp; She had had a relative easy life, but then money had made it that way.&nbsp; She would be nice, she was always nice.&nbsp; She might even like her.&nbsp; She just wondered what she would make of them all.&nbsp; They were a rather close family.&nbsp; And not in the conventional sense.<br><br>She was humming along to her ipod, her sexy voice ringing around the wonderful house.&nbsp; She paused, hearing the bell and grinned.&nbsp; "She's here" she shouted through the house as she headed to the front door.&nbsp; She was a lovely looking young woman, toned, trim, tanned.&nbsp; She wore a tiny bikini her hair a wavy mass tumbling round her shoulders.<br><br>She pulled the door open and grinned at the two, "Kayla hunni welcome.&nbsp; I'm Abi, come on in the others are just coming" she grinned at her, gesturing for the two to step in.&nbsp; She had a good look at the blonde and grinned.&nbsp; She was cute, very very cute.

				Kayla was a little stunned to say the least when the bikini clad girl opened the front door.&nbsp; Kayla wasn't used to a sibling answering the door, usually it was the parents that greeted her. Kayla stepped inside and smiled meekly at the girl. Well now she knew there was at least one other girl in the house. Now she just waited to see if there were others, and who her new foster parents were.

				<strong>"I win!"</strong> Jodie called out with a grin as she successfully managed to pin her older brother down on his bedroom floor.&nbsp; She knew, of course, that Alex let her, because, after all, he was much larger and more muscular than she was - not to mention he was a man that had been in athletics all his life.&nbsp; <strong>“Such. A. Loser,”</strong> she spoke down to him with a playful voice as she sat on top of him with her hands against his chest.<br><br><strong>“Ohh,”</strong> she called out in surprise when she heard Abi’s voice echo into the room from downstairs, informing them the new girl had arrived.&nbsp; Jodie wasn’t sure how she felt about the new girl either.&nbsp; Mom and dad already had their hands full with three children; however, since her sister’s gone a lot of the time, she thought it might be nice to have another girl around the house.&nbsp; <strong>“This’ll be interesting,”</strong> she commented to Alex as she slipped off of him.<br><br>She reached back and pulled her shorts down a bit as she left the room.&nbsp; She didn’t want her ass to completely hang out in front of the new girl; however, she couldn’t help that most of it could be seen anyway, because her pink, booty shorts lacked much material.&nbsp; She did nothing about her cleavage in the front, though, that settled nice and high, providing a wonderful view for the family around her, due to a lovely pink push-up bra underneath the black camisole she was wearing.&nbsp; It wasn’t necessary, but it certainly made them stand out more – kind of in your face if you were up close to her.<br><br>Jodie peeked over the balcony railing and down into the forum to see if she could get a look at the new girl as she made her way down the hall.&nbsp; She bit her bottom lip and arched a brow slightly as she took in the new girl’s appearance, able to see her more clearly now as she slowly descended down the stairs.&nbsp; She approached the three of them in the forum with a polite smile and introduced herself.&nbsp; <strong>“Hey, I’m Jodie.&nbsp; Alex’ll be down soon.”</strong>&nbsp; She informed the girl as she stood next to Abi’s side and leaned toward the left with her hand on her hip.&nbsp; Jodie didn’t care if the girl noticed her eyes move openly over her body, because she felt she had a right to know who was stepping into her home; and you can tell a lot from a person’s appearance.

				She smiled and introduced herself, "Hi, Kayla, nice to meet you." Kayla was really not used to this. These girls were dressed quite differently than she was used to. She was always so modest and reserved. But she never judged a book by it's cover. She would wait to see just what they were like. They were probably not much different than her. And now she also knew there was a brother. This was quite a houseful. She smiled sweetly and didn't realize she was being checked out by the younger sister. Now she just stood there looking around, with at uncomfortable silence that fills a room when you have nothing to say. She just stood there clutching her suitcase, nervous, and waiting for the rest of the family to size her up.

				Considering himself the most practical of the three children, Alex put on a white button down shirt, a rarity for him, and slipped on his shoes. He walked into the bathroom adjacent to his closet to make sure Jodi hadn't left any visible marks. "Always so eager to jump ya" he mused to himself as he adjusted his hair. <br><br>&nbsp; Normally he wouldn't put so much care into how he looked around the house, but today was a special day. Kayla, the girl who would be living with them, would be making her appearance today, and Alex wanted to make a good first impression.<br><br>Hearing his sisters giggle from upstairs he quickly darted out of the room and came down the stairs as dashing and suave as he could. <br><br>"Hello, you must be&nbsp; Kayla. It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Alex. I see you have already met Abi, and Jodi. By the way you two, you could have at least gotten a little dressed up to meet our new sister." He laughed to himself, extending a hand towards Kayla.

				Abi grinned at Jodie, pushing her playfully, "leave her alone brat, give her a chance to get used to us" she told her, pulling what she called 'the big sister act'.&nbsp; <br><br>"Dont worry about her, shes just the naughty one of the three.&nbsp; I'm the oldest, I try to keep them in line." She said, rolling her eyes at Jo and then putting her arm around Kayla's shoulders.&nbsp; "Come on into the lounge, I am sure the others will be down in a minute" she said, raising her voice to the three she was sure were lurking around somewhere.<br><br>Sure enough Alex appeared, looking gorgeous as ever and she felt her insides melt a little as she looked at her brother, she rolled her eyes at him, "I am dressed up Alex, I nearly wore nothing." She told him, walking into the lounge.<br><br>(http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd302/kazjack2/villa/lalagune06.jpg)<br><br>The lounge was a luxurious room, white leather and a view across the ocean.&nbsp; The Stephenson's did have money, and they enjoyed it.&nbsp; Abi flopped down into the sofa, stretching her legs out.&nbsp; "You havent got much stuff Kay, can I call ya Kay?" she asked, then she looked at the social worker, "you can leave her with us you know.&nbsp; We're all gonna be Family."

				"Oh I'm sur Abi, I'm sure" he mused to himself, headed towards the sofa, sitting next to Abi.<br>"So Kayla, please make yourself at home, and don't worry about these two, just a couple of ditz's they are."

				Jodie smiled at her sister when she joked about her attitude; but she thought she was being fairly nice, nicer than she could have been.&nbsp; Before Abi invited Kayla to make herself comfortable in the lounge, Jodie had already taken a seat at the end of the sofa and sat as she normally did, with her back against the cushion, arm over the edge, and her legs stretched out in front of her, ankles crossed, and her bare toes wiggling in the air.&nbsp; The other side of the couch had an extension, too, that allowed you to stretch out or lay down if you wished, but Jodie preferred the side next to the window; it’s where she does most of her studying for school, and where she’ll read a book if she has time to, because the light radiates in perfectly at that spot.<br><br><strong>“Yeah, you’re lucky we’re wearing anything at all,”</strong> Jodie added in, in response to Alex’s comment about her and Abi’s choice of clothing.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>“I wouldn’t leave’er alone with us if I were you,”</strong> she joked to the social worker after Abi suggested leaving Kayla with the family.&nbsp; Jodie threw a glance past Abi, who was sat on her left, and Alex, who was sat on her left, and landed her eyes on Kayla, which were slightly narrowed; but she was only teasing her.&nbsp; She knew her siblings would catch that she was joking, or was she?, but she wasn’t sure how Kayla or the social worker would take her comment, which amused Jodie.

				Kayla then saw the brother come down. He was dressed so nice, and he was cute too. She smiled and took his hand as he offered it, "Nice to meet you," she smiled sweetly at him and blushed somewhat. <br><br>She then heard the comments from the girls about being barely dressed. It was unnerving,&nbsp; she didn't really know if she could get used to them parading around almost naked. She looked at the social worker as they were escorted into the lounge with the siblings. She wondered why she hadn't seen any signs of parents yet. Perhaps they were still at work? Still they must have known she was coming. Kayla huddled close to the social worker as the other kids joked about leaving her with them and then that she really shouldn't be alone with them. She had been with a lot of families in her life, but she was wary of each of them right now. <br><br>Kayla didn't make a move, not yet, she was just still too unsure if this family was going to be a perfect fit for her or not. She waited and worried that maybe she was not the right match for such and outgoing family.

				Seeing that Kayla seemed a bit unnerved by his sisters, Alex got up and offered a seat to both Kayla and the social worker.<br><br>"You two stop the gabbing, you're going to scare the poor girl and the worker." he snapped at Abi and Jodi. "Please, don't mind them, they have a strange sense of humour," he continued shooting the giggling girls a glance as if to say can it for later. "They really are both very nice, just love to joke. Ab's, why don't you just go for that swim, and Jodi, put something on please? Dad and Mom should be here any minute, they both said they had some work that needed to be attended to. They work all the time, but trust me Kayla, they are very devoted and caring parents." <br><br>He ushered the worker and Kayla away from his sisters, back into the parlor, turning ever so slightly, giving Abi and Jodi a devilish grin at what they had been implying, knowing that Kayla nor the worker would be any the wiser.

				Jodie rolled her eyes at Alex as he stepped in their father’s shoes for a moment; she hated being bossed around, especially by her brother and sister.&nbsp; She couldn’t stand when her older siblings would try and act like her parents.&nbsp; It was so annoying - even if she needed a firm hand sometimes when mom and dad weren’t around to keep her in line; then it ended up being Abi and Alex’s responsibility to deal with her, whether she liked it or not.&nbsp; And she didn’t like it, at all, so she’d often not listen or pretend to do so until the subject was dropped.&nbsp; More often than not, though, she’d be able talk her way out of it with her charming and sweet personality she can put on when she wants to.<br><br>Jodie remained on the couch after being told to change into appropriate attire.&nbsp; Alex was leaving the room with the newbys anyway, so why would it matter?&nbsp; And their parents always let’em dress in revealing clothes.&nbsp; They could wear whatever they wanted to.&nbsp; She didn’t see any reason to dress up just because Kayla was at the house.&nbsp; The girl was so shy; she’d never say anything about it.&nbsp; If anything, the social worker may not have approved; but that wouldn’t bother Jodie anyway, because she could care less what people thought of her.&nbsp; <br><br>She kept her ass on the couch and curled her legs up toward her chest as she relaxed in a comfortable ball.&nbsp; She turned the T.V on, and then began flipping through the channels to see if there was anything interesting on.&nbsp; It was early in the day, so odds are, there wasn’t going to be anything good on; she’d eventually have to move from her seat and find something else to do, anything to keep her amused.

				And speak of the devil! From outside came the sound of a motor vehicle turning onto the driveway, as the father of the family arrived home from work, in his practical choice of transportation; a twin-cab pick-up with a campershell on the bed. Climbing out and slamming the door shut firmly, John Stevenson rubbed his chin and yawned a bit; it had been a hard day at the garage, and he was looking forward to putting his feet up and having a little rest. He walked up the path and through the front door.<br><br>"Hallo! I'm back!" he called in his deep, sonorous voice.

				Abi glared at Alex, "shut up, I wanted to tell him" she said, pushing him.&nbsp; "Dad, in here, come and meet Kayla" she said to her, moving to the doorway and greeting him with a hug and kiss.&nbsp; It wasnt a simple kiss, it was a kiss that had a hidden edge as her tongue slipped over his lips before she parted, "come say hi to her daddy" she said, dragging him into the parlour.

				Jodie heard her dad come home, but she was too busy on the phone with a friend of hers to get up.&nbsp; And she really didn't wanna bother with all of the comotion in the parlor.&nbsp; There were too many people to deal with, and she was quite satisfied with the comfortable position she held on the sofa.&nbsp; She had the entire, quiet room, and tv all to herself, able to watch whatever she wanted.&nbsp; But she kept the tv low so her friend could hear Jodie speak about the new girl in her home, how things were going so far.

				"I'm coming!" he called cheerfully, as he followed his daughter in. He'd taken his boots and jacket off, and his shirt was stuck to his skin by sweat, his taut, muscular body only highlighted by the tight, wet black polo shirt and comfortably worn grey jeans. "Ah, you'd be Kayla, then?" he asked with a big, slightly goofy grin. "Welcome to the family then!"

				Kayla had heard the father of the family enter the home. She heard all of the siblings clamor over him. He must be a good father to garner such attention. As she saw him come into view she smiled. He looked so welcoming, and was obviously a hard worker from the looks of it. "Hi, yes I'm Kayla, nice to meet you Mr. Stevenson. Thank you for welcoming me into your home." Kayla was always kind and cordial, no matter who she was around. Now that there was a parental figure around, the social worker handed off the paperwork and forms to Mr. Stevenson. She gave Kayla a hug and was off. Kayla was now alone with them, and ready to start her new life.

				"Well Kayla, welcome to the family..." Alex said, starting to trail off "I'm not really sure what to say, uhm... Hello, I guess. I believe either Abi or Jodie can show you to your room, and you probably want to see around the rest of the house, not just the entrance here. Mom, Andrea, should be here any time now so... yeah. Welcome" Alex just kind of sputtered out, obviously not having prepared anything for a new famly member.

				Abi grinned and hugged her once the social worker had left her with them.&nbsp; "Welcome to the Family sis" she said, "we arent as bad as Jodie made us out," she told her, "mum should be home soon, unless she snuck in without telling anyone." She grinned, "we'll have a special dinner tonight.&nbsp; And then do something family orientated" she grinned at her father, "so, you must be fed up with moving around different families.&nbsp; I really hope you like us." She said to her honestly.

				John took his time to carefully read over the papers the social worker had given him, occassionally murmurring things to himself before smiling. "Well, everything seems in order. Abi, Jodie, why don't you show Kayla around, while I sort out where her bedroom is, ok?" he smiled at them. "Once I've done that, I'll see about dinner. Is there anything you'd like, Kayla?" he asked her now.

				"HEY JODIE," Alex called headed back to the living room. "Get off the phone would ya, Dad would like ya to show Kayla around the house a bit." Alex loved teasing Jodie, she always got so pouty whenever she was told to do something by him of Abi, he thought it was hilarious. <br><br>"Well Ab's, I am going to take your spot in the pool so, have fun showung Kayla around" he teased as he returned through the hallway. As he climbed the stairs he slowly undid his shirt, almost as if he were showing off, but no one outside the family would ever think anything of it.

				Abi saw Jodie emerge and she smiled at her, "so brat, wanna show Jo around?&nbsp; Especially as Alex has decided he is above that task" she said slightly louder so her brother would hear.&nbsp; She winked at Jodie, "come on, the pool and back yard are the best to see." she told her, leading her out the large patio doors onto a lovely paved area.<br><br>The pool was huge, and surrounded by tubs and pots of plants.&nbsp; There were loungers and chairs and even a covered hot tub in the corner.&nbsp; Abi smiled at her, "I really hoep you'll enjoy it with us, if you need anything ask" she said, wondering about how Kayla would take to the other side of things.&nbsp; They would find out later, she was sure someone would soon reveal the nature of the family.&nbsp; She couldnt wait to get her hands on the girl.

				"Oh Mr. Stevenson, I'm not picky about dinner. Anything would be fine with me." Kayla bit her lip watching as Alex left her with the other girls. She saw him take off his shirt and she blushed, he did have a nice body. She may have been shy, but she wasn't blind. She saw Jodie emerge once again and just got an uneasy feeling for some reason about her. Kayla couldn't explain it, but something just wasn't clicking. Maybe Jodie just didn't like the fact that another child was in the mix. She had experienced that before, so was kind of used to it. <br><br>She followed Abi out to the pool. It was really nice. It was the second home she was in with a pool this nice. Most of her homes were just regular normal everyday homes, but this one was the nicest she'd been in. "It's really nice here. Thanks again for showing me around. Must be weird to have a stranger come into your home like this. I know it takes some getting used to after all. I've been through it enough." She wondered if the girls were truly open to her, or if she was just fresh meat in the lions den. She figured she would find out soon enough.

				Jodie was more than happy to check out the back yard.&nbsp; All she heard was "pool, sun, and relaxation;" so she was more than game.&nbsp; She followed behind Kayla as her older sister led the way.&nbsp; Jodie quickly made herself comfortable on one of the recliner chairs underneath a shaded area by the pool.&nbsp; Usually, she would have sat under the sun, but she knew she wouldn't have been able to read the messages on her cell because of the glare.&nbsp; She laid back and let out a content sigh as she propped her feet up with her knees bent in the air.&nbsp; She flipped opened her cell, replied to a message she recieved while in the forum, and then once that was taken care of, she got onto mobile twitter and updated her status.&nbsp; <br><br>At this point, she really didn't care about the new girl and didn't wish to get to know her either.&nbsp; Jodie was always up and about, doing whatever she wanted without a care in the world.&nbsp; Plush, she over heard her siblings' suggest doing something "family" oriented.&nbsp; She knew then that they'd have more time together, so there was no point in harassing her now.&nbsp; 'Sides, she had plenty of others to take care of her.

				Abi watched Jodie and rolled her eyes, lazy little bitch, she needed a good spanking.&nbsp; She would have to tell Daddy she needed one, or she would do it herself.&nbsp; She looked at Kayla, "I am temtped to pull her over my knee and spank her bum" she told the new girl, watching her reaction.&nbsp; She loved to shock, and she was doing it now.<br><br>She leant forward and placed her hand on Kay's arm, "have you ever been spanked Kay? Ever felt a hand turn you bum all hot and red?" she asked her, her eyes locked onto hers.&nbsp; She wanted to see how she reacted.&nbsp; She was getting wet just thinking about her in this way, her nipples hard, pushing against the material of her bikini top.

				Kayla listened to Abi talk about spanking Jodie. Gosh she hoped she was kidding. When the questioning turned to her. Kayla got quiet. She had been spanked, horribly by one of her foster fathers. He was terribly abusive and would regularly spank Kayla, even as punishment for his own kids wrong doing. See it was easy to beat the foster kid, there was no emotional attachment, no bloodline to worry about. <br><br>Kayla bit her lip, "Yes Abi, I have, and it wasn't pleasant or fun. I've been spanked to the point I couldn't sit for days." Kayla took a deep breath, and then looked away from Abi. This wasn't a game, it was Kayla's life, and sometimes she had been to hell and back. But what would this family know, they had it made, and by the looks of it, they all loved each other fully. "Abi, mind showing me the bathroom, I need to freshen up," by this time, Kayla was holding back tears of those awful memories. Now she just wanted to go hide in the bathroom, and try to forget about those nightmares.

				Jodie wasn't aware of what happened until she heard her father's deep voice fill the air.&nbsp; It was then that she noticed Kayla entering the house through the doors behind him.&nbsp; She looked from her father to Abi, and then between the two as she wondered herself what happened.&nbsp; She wasn't going to shout blame to Abi, because Jodie had her eyes on her phone the whole time, so she had no idea what happened.&nbsp; For all she knew, Kayla could have ran off on her own.&nbsp; After all, the last thing she remembered was Abi helping her settle into the home, so she wouldn't think her sister could have made her cry; but obviously <em>something</em> happened.

				Abi saw the pain in her eyes first and knew she had been treated badly.&nbsp; She stood and pulled the girl into her arms, "Kay" she said softly, stroking her hair, "we will never hurt you" she whispered, "we will never do something like that.&nbsp; We might have strange ways and seem weird, but know this, if anyone touches you in the wrong way or a way you don't like tell us.&nbsp; We want you to be happy here" she hadn't wanted her to come, but now she was here she could see she needed a good loving home.&nbsp; They were that but just their idea of loving was more than most.<br><br>"Kayla, babe" she stroked her face, "we want you to be happy here.&nbsp; And I mean it, if anyone touches you in a way they shouldn't, say.&nbsp; but know this, we believe in showing how we feel about each other" she warned her, "and we will probably want you to share that with us." She very gently kissed her lips, "I am happy you're here" she said to her, brushing her thumb across her lips, "now, bathroom, this way" she took her hand and lead her back in doors.&nbsp; This girl needed healing.&nbsp; She was sure here she would get it.&nbsp; if she would let them help her.<br><br>She saw her father walk out and sighed, "shes just a little bit upset." She told him, "I'll take her in" she said, smiling at him and kissing his cheek, "she'll be fine" she said, following her.

				<strong>"God, she hasn't even been here an hour yet, and there's already drama,"</strong> Jodie said with no compassion at all as she glanced at her father once Abi led Kayla into the house.&nbsp; She quickly dropped it and looked back at her phone with a roll of her eyes.&nbsp; She continued texting and chatting with friends on Facebook and other apps she had on her iphone, pretending like nothing happened.

				He nodded slowly, and gave her a firm look. "Kid gloves treatment then." he told her softly. "She's delicate, from what I read of the file the Social Worker gave me." He then sat down by the pool for a few moments, seemingly lost in thought. He gave Jodie a stern look. "That's not on, Jodie."

				Kayla wondered what Abi meant by them showing how they felt about each other. It was kind of cryptic in a way. It was nice that Abi had backed off and let her know that they would make sure she was safe. All the same, she was taken aback when Abi kissed her on the lips. She had been with some families that kissed each other like that, so it wasn't too odd, but still, it was a small shock to her system. <br><br>Kayla went into the bathroom and stayed there for a few minutes trying to gather herself. She wiped he eyes, and brushed her hair out of her face. Maybe she was just tired from all the stress of the day. She fixed herself up, and opened the door to the bathroom. She looked around, and didn't see anyone. They were probably all gathered at the pool. She would take just a moment more before she decided to go and rejoin them.

				Alex returned from upstairs in his swimming trunks moving quickly so as to catch and guage reactions from the others. As he neared the door he saw Kayla and Abi rush in, it seemed Kayla was crying or about too. He reached out an arm to grab Abi's wrist just barely brushing her, long enough for him to shoot her a glance that said "What did you do?"<br><br>Turning back toward the door Alex headed back towards the pool, tossing his towel off to the side on one of the loungers and diving right in. He loved the feeling of the cool water racing across his body. <br><br>After a couple of laps he swam up near to wear Jodie was relaxing and asked "What the hell did you guys do to the new girl?

				Abi didnt go back outside.&nbsp; Instead she went into the little room they called the Den.&nbsp; it was like a little retreat.&nbsp; She felt awful, she hadnt meant to upset Kay, god she liked her, she felt for her.&nbsp; They were lucky, they had a great family, parents who cared, siblings they loved, even if Jodie was a pain in the arse most of the time.&nbsp; She really hadnt meant to upset her and now she felt bad.<br><br>She flopped down onto one of the cushions and closed her eyes, pinching the brigde of her nose to try and ease the headache that had cropped up.&nbsp; she hated that, always suffered with heads when things turned stressful.&nbsp; At least the Den was relatively dark.&nbsp; she wanted mum to come home, she would sort it out.&nbsp; She hated this.&nbsp;

				Kayla looked up at John, "It's nothing Mr. Stevenson, really. Just some bad memories came flooding back. I'm ok really I am." That was one of her flaws though, you could read her like a book. She just smiled and patted his hand. She was innocent, but wise beyond her years from everything she had gone through. She sat on one of the chairs far from the girls, sort of isolating herself. She watched Alex swim, he was so nice to look at. It was the first time she was in a family with a boy so close in age to her. He had been kind to her, and he made her blush. Kayla just hoped he didn't take notice to her as she sat there. She looked away, hoping not to catch his eye.
