"Ah shit!" Jon cried out. He and David squirmed away from the onslaught of splashing from Ethan and Arielle as they lowered them into the pool for the first time. "She got me in the eye!"

"Fuck, there goes my contact!" David added and Ethan giggled.

The two toddlers kicked around in their pool floats, slapping and kicking at the water. It was the first good weather of summer and the two families had come together for a cookout at the Bryan home.

"Haha, Dada wet!" Arielle bounced around in the water, her pink hat falling lopsided on her head.

"Jon! Fix her hat, please," Julie called out.

Julie and Leesha watched on from the sidelines, silently rooting for the kids to win. Both laid out on sun lounges in swimsuits enjoying the sun on their bodies.

"I'm trying!" Jon barked. "I can't breathe or see!"

The warm summer sun shone down on the backyard, its gentle rays caressing the grass and sparkling off the water as it lapped playfully against the sides of the pool.

"Go on, Jon!" Leesha encouraged with a laugh. "You've got this. Just reach out and grab her hat before she loses it."

As Jon struggled to keep his head above water, he stretched out an arm and finally managed to snag Arielle's hat.

"Good job, Jon!" Leesha praised. "You're such a hero." The women laughed in agreement.

Ethan and Arielle continued to splash around in their pool floats, clearly enjoying the warm water and the company of their parents.

Leesha rolled her face away from the chaos of males dealing with their offspring and smiled at Julie. "How are the wedding plans coming along? Have you two found a nice venue yet?"

"Not yet. Jon suggested at the house but I hate that mausoleum,"Julie replied in a low voice. "Actually I was wondering...if we could do it here? You two already have the light and space, and-."

"Oh my gosh, yes...we totally accept!" Leesha exclaimed and bounced in her chair. "Seriously, have you ever thought of remodeling that house? Remove traces of that old hag."

Leesha's enthusiasm was contagious, and Julie couldn't help but feel a wave of relief wash over her. "You wouldn't mind? I mean, we could help with the expenses, and we could make sure everything is perfectly clean beforehand."

Her friend waved her offer away.

"No, no. We'd be honored! We've always had big parties here, and what better excuse for a party than a wedding? DB and I will go through the house and make sure everything is just the way you like it. So Jon's ok with it?"

"Jon finally agreed to it as long as I leave his pub and studio alone," Julie said with a nod. "You hear that, Lema?! You're hosting our wedding!"

David lunged forward and scooped his son from the pool. "Huh? Oh...great...yeah! Hey Babygirl? Could you...I dunno...help me?!"

"The way you helped with his blowout last night?" Leesha asked with a smirk.

"C'mon...you still upset over that?" David asked and his wife flipped him off. "Goddamnit."

"Oh damnit!" Ethan exclaimed.

"No, no...bad word," David said quickly. "Mommy said no bad words. You'll get us both in trouble."

"Oh damnit," the little boy repeated. "Daddy in trouble."

Leesha looked over from Julie and laughed. "Your son telling on you again?"

David rolled his eyes and glanced over at Jon, who was still fighting to control Arielle and her kicking. "Julie?! I think your husband-to-be needs help too."

"He's got two hands," Julie called back. "Leesha and I do this shit alone when you two are working!"

"Yeah!" Leesha agreed, applying more sunscreen to her chest and shoulders. "You're getting slapped. Take it like men! We get kicked and puked on daily!"

"Not to mention the nine months of them bouncing on and kicking our internal organs."

David moved the kicking child closer to Leesha and laughed when she took the full force of a toddler splash over her stomach. "Haha, nice one, squirt."

"Shit, that's cold," Leesha complained. "God, I can't even have one minute to myself."

Julie started to laugh but quickly scrambled off the lounge when David aimed his son her way too. "Do you really want to do that, Curly?" she threatened.

"More than anything, Stripper," David smirked and Ethan's giggling died down.

"You always have to be a pain in the ass," Leesha said and pointed to Jon, who had settled Arielle into a quiet float. "Both of you."

"Fuck did I do?" Jon asked incredulously.

"Guilty by association," David smiled innocently over his shoulder.

"Innocent until proven guilty!" Jon retorted. "How about some back up here, baby? I think the Mrs is on the rag."

"Ugh!" Julie rolled her eyes. "Really?! That's such a typical thing for a male to say. Also...ugly turn of phrase there, Rockstar. It's called a period. Every woman has them...even your darling daughters will have them one day."

"And, yes," she added, sitting on the edge of the pool with her feet dangling in the cool water, "we get crabby and bitchy coz if you had to bleed and have cramps for seven to ten days-."

"If you're lucky! Sometimes it's longer," Leesha added.

"Then you'd be like that too," Julie finished. Arielle was reaching for Julie so Jon swam her over to the edge. "Hi, baby," she cooed at her daughter.

"See what you started, Jonny?" David asked, sitting on the submerged pool deck. He sat Ethan in front of him and slowly calmed the child. "You say something, suddenly it's about their pussies bleeding. UGH! I mean...don't get me wrong...I don't mind getting my sword a little bloody at times...."

"Christ, Lema," Jon sighed.

"But," David continued, "I think you ladies overdo it at times."

Jon groaned audibly, and Julie and Leesha both gasped at the audacity of David's comment. Julie turned slowly to her friend and said, "Did you hear that? We overdo it!"

"I heard...I just don't know who he's talking to with those balls coz I know it's not us!" Leesha replied and took a dive into the pool. Ethan clapped and giggled. She resurfaced and repeated, "We overdo it. Guess I don't need to overdo those blowjobs."

"I'm not complainin'," Jon said, briefly holding his hands up off the floatie. "But...baby...the cramps can't be that bad though, right?!"

Julie, making sure she had both a good hold of Ari's floatie and the side of the pool, placed her foot in the middle of Jon's chest and gave a good push. He went down backward into the water and came up spluttering. Arielle giggled and splashed the water at him as well.

"I guess I said something wrong," he said, finally, jamming his sunglasses firmly back on his face.

"You're lucky you have a bad back," Leesha snarled as she swam up to David, "I'd pull you in by your feet and pray you smack some brains back into your head." She stood up and took her son with his float.

"Don't they have those simulator devices for sale these days?" Julie asked her friend as Jon crossed his arms on the side of the pool beside her.

"What devices? Period simulators?"

"Yeah," Julie nodded. "I think I saw them advertised at the pharmacy when I was there last."

"Hook these two yahoos up to it," Leesha muttered. "We'll see who's crying in the end."

"Wait...I know! PMS," David said, snapping his fingers and pointing at Leesha.

"S-O-F-A!" She exclaimed sarcastically and cocked an eyebrow. "Now about those simulators. Which pharmacy were they at?"

"Shop Rite," Julie replied, stretching back to reach her phone beside the lounge and pulling up a photo. "I say we buy two. Treat their ignorance at the same time."

Leesha swam over with Ethan to get a better look. "That's a TENS unit. David has one for his back."

"Then just one it is," she said. "Rockstar, we're making a detour on the way home, okay?"

"Fuck you, Lema!" Jon groaned under his breath but then said in a louder voice, "Yes, dear."

*~*~*

Bongiovi Red Bank House

"Alright, you two," Julie said with a malicious grin. "Time to hook you up."

She and Leesha worked to place the electrodes up and down hairy bellies and low into their groin. David, ever the tough guy, got one placed just under his balls.

"Hey, watch the boys," he complained.

Jon, however, opted out of the extra low electrode and instead got two on his lower back. "This is bullshit."

"You've grown up with brothers, Rockstar," Julie said. "Didn't your mum ever complain about her periods or birthing you three? Dot? I'm sure Stephanie has too...but have you ever taken any notice?"

"Er...no idea," he admitted with a shrug.

"Exactly," Julie retorted and stepped out of the room for a moment.

"And Dave? April never complained?"

"She complained about everything," David snorted. "You women always do. Fuck, why am I not high doing this?!"

"Coz you won't get the full effect," Julie said, patting him on the head as she walked past with two buckets and placed them on the floor between them.

Both men were sprawled on the sofa, shirtless and jeans undone so that the electrode pads and wires were clearly visible along with a generous amount of pubic hair.

"What's that for?" Jon eyed them off speculatively.

"I think you can figure it out, baby," she said, picking up the controller and sitting beside him on the arm of the sofa.

"I'm not pissin' in a bucket in my family room!"

"Jon...for once, please shut up," David sighed and looked up at his wife. "Can't I just crawl on my knees and beg like always?"

Leesha placed one last electrode and gave her husband's belly a pat. "Not this time, baby. I'm gonna hurt you and you're gonna like it. Or perhaps I give the controller to the...what did you call her...the stripper? Let her have her way with you?"

"No...no...please...you're good, baby...better than good!"

"Save it, Rashbaum," Leesha said with a wide grin and David cursed under his breath.

"So we tested these ourselves yesterday," Julie said. "We both got to level ten. How did you find it, honey?" she asked Leesha.

"I've had worse," Leesha replied. "It tickled."

Julie nodded, lips pursed. "Not as bad as giving birth, that's for sure," she said with a shrug. "So let's see how far you two get."

"Bring it," David said in a tough guy tone. One by one, the girls selected level 1...2...3. "Oh...I'm feeling a little fluttering something."

"Yeah this isn't bad," Jon agreed, squirming when they hit level 4. "Oooh that feels weird."

"Feels like my balls are pulsing," David grimaced, rubbing his belly. "What's that stabbing?"

Level 5..."Oh I don't like that," Jon said, shaking his head. "Why you shaking, Lema? You good?"

"Shut the fuck up," David muttered, closing his eyes and curling his hands under his chin.

"You're halfway there, boys," Julie said, trying to suppress her giggles. "Shall we take it up to 6?"

Leesha met her friend's devilish smile. "We shall...."

"AHH! Fuck my balls," David breathed, arching his back off the couch. "No no, Mommy, no."

Jon groaned and clutched at his back. He stood and paced a few steps back and forth, trying to shake off the pain. "Jesus fuckin' Christ," he moaned and leaned heavily against Julie. "Is this how you feel each month?"

"Hmm-hm," she said, "but just on the first day. It escalates from there."

"Escalates?!" David exclaimed. "AH! Quit tugging!"

"My knees are wobbling," Jon whimpered.

"Come on, boys...are we still living on that prayer?"

The men both gasped in relief as the contractions eased off into a dip. The dip was short-lived, however, as Julie expertly manipulated the controller to bring the intensity back up. Jon groaned and cursed, his hands clenched into fists as the pain coursed through his body.

Leesha watched with amusement as her husband and Jon struggled to withstand the intensifying sensations. She could see the beads of sweat forming on their foreheads, and their faces contorted in pain with each new level.

"Oh, this is something else," Jon managed to say through gritted teeth, his legs buckling slightly.

David let out a low moan, his body trembling as the electrodes sent wave after wave of pulsing sensations through his lower half. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to focus on anything but the discomfort.

"Come on, Babygirl," he pleaded, his voice strained. "Can't we just...stop for a minute?"

Leesha shook her head, a wicked grin on her face. "Nope. You wanted to play, now you have to see it through." She glanced over at Julie, who was watching the scene with an amused expression. "Level seven, I think."

"I think you're right," Julie nodded, her fingers flying over the controller as she increased the intensity.

Jon's eyes widened in shock as the pain intensified. He let out a strangled cry, his legs giving out completely. David, too, was struggling to keep his composure, his breath coming in short, sharp gasps.

"Oh, you two are such troopers," Julie cooed.

"Sweet motherfucker," David cried out, curling forward to crunch his stomach.

Leesha watched as her husband and Jon writhed in agony on the couch, their bodies convulsing with each wave of electrical stimulation. The intensity had reached unbearable levels, causing them to sweat profusely and moan incoherently.

"Almost there, guys." Julie's voice was like a taunt, a mocking reminder that there was no escape from the torment they had subjected themselves to.

David's eyes were squeezed shut, his teeth gritted as he clenched his fists, trying to find some semblance of relief. "I need my heating pad," he whimpered.

Jon, on the other hand, had given up all pretense of composure. His face was contorted in agony, tears streaming down his cheeks as he writhed on the couch. "Please, Julie, stop," he begged, his voice breaking. "I can't take it anymore."

Julie's eyes gleamed with sadistic pleasure as she watched the men squirm under her control. "You're so close," she purred, her finger hovering over the controller. "Just a little more, and you'll reach your peak."

Leesha couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her husband and Jon's tortured expressions. It was exhilarating to see them in such a vulnerable state, their once-proud bodies reduced to quivering masses of nerves and muscle.

With a wicked grin, Julie and Leesha pressed the button on the controllers, sending the intensity to its maximum level. David let out an animalistic roar, his body stiffening as he was consumed by the electrical storm coursing through him.

"Ahh! Fuck!" David yelled. "My balls! I quit...I quit!!! Christ, I quit!"

"Be a fucking man, Rashbaum!" Jon cried through gritted teeth.

"Holy shit," David gasped, collapsing onto the couch, his whole body shaking with the aftereffects of the intense contractions. He glared at Jon, who was lying motionless on the cushions, tears streaming down his face.

Jon didn't have the energy to respond, instead focusing on catching his breath as he lay there, his muscles still twitching from the electrical stimulation. "Yeah..."

Leesha walked over to them, kneeling down beside David and held out a wet wipe. David took it and wiped his mouth, tossing it in the bucket. "Just relax and I'll take them off."

"Dad?" All four adults looked over to see Colton and Steph, both staring in horror. "You know what...I don't even wanna know," Colton said, holding up his free hand to his parents.

"I don't either," Steph agreed and tugged on his hand, "let's just go upstairs."

"Over my dead body!" Jon yelled grumpily. "Go out in the yard...get some air...where we can watch you...like a haaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Jon's voice trailed off into a scream of pain, his back arching in agony. Julie stared at him with a smirk, her fingers dialing up the controller to level 7.

"You two have fun," Julie said to Steph and Colton. "Leave your Dads to us."

"I have nothing to say," David piped in, throwing his hands up innocently. Leesha raised an eyebrow at him and reached into his jeans and ripped off the one electrode under his balls.

Colton flinched away. "And with that we're gonna...um...yeah..." He and Steph rushed from the living room and their footsteps faded up the stairs.

Jon was left panting and eyes watering. "Please take these off. I get it...I really do. I accept it."

"Me too," David pleaded. "Swear to god, I will make the monthly store trip without question..."

"And I'll make sure chocolate is stocked up," Jon added.

"And you won't have to see my ugly face," David said. "At all. Unless it's to do something for you."

Leesha looked over to Julie and shrugged. "What do you think?"

"Do what you want with yours," Julie said, pursing her lips and nodding her head once at David.

Jon looked over at David and scowled. "Why does he get out of this?"

"So Leesha can take him in another room," Julie answered and stood up in front of Jon, hand on her hips. "You and I need to have a chat, Mr Rockstar."
