A synopsis
Barbara's story: Barbara, a recently divorced redhead, experiences a sexual awakening with her sexually adventurous married friends, Jim and Janine. Her experiences with them change her from an insecure, bitter divorcee to a woman with a renewed passion for life and all it has to offer, especially sex. Through Jim and Janine's coaching, Barbara discovers and experiences sides of herself she never imagined. Her journey leaves her fully in charge of her sexuality in all its forms and flavors. Having left her sexually unfullfilling lifestyle behind, she undertakes a journey of self-exploration and development and becomes a renewed woman
"Damn him, I hate that bastard," Barbara fired. The divorce was finalized, but the ink and the pain were still fresh. "Give me another margarita." she said
Janine helped herself to another and poured Barbara's second. "Time to let go, Barbara.” Janine hated seeing her friend like this. But it had been this way and worse since she and Rick separated, got back together, and separated again for good. Getting back together rarely seemed to work out. It was over now though. Easy for Janine to say. She was happily married to a man who was devoted to her and with whom life was interesting, especially their sex lives. Jim went out of his way to keep things interesting and Janine did, too. Boredom killed Barbara's marriage and suffocated her soul she thought. She just couldn't say that. But, she knew it was true. Barbara began complaining about Rick a year ago
Then they started arguing about money and finances. They stopped enjoying each other's company. They stopped having sex. That continued a slow, steady, painful slide that had been excruciating to watch and to hear about. So much bitterness, anger, guilt, and worry
Janine felt for her friend. Maybe she could lift her spirits. Maybe she could accomplish something else
"Oh, that's a good margarita, even if I say so myself.”
"Yeah, it is good, thanks. I'm sorry to burden you with my problems."
"That's life sometimes," replied Janine, matter of factly, joining her on the sofa. "We lost interest in each other, stopped caring. That’s what happened and then it was all down hill."
"Well, you've still got friends." Janine and her husband, Jim, lived in the same cul-de-sac as Barbara and Rick. They had a pool and invited friends and neighbors over. Barb did like to swim and sometimes they did, like today. She wouldn't stay in the sun long her lite complexion made her burn easily. That was one thing you dealt with being a red head
Lately, Barbara came over mostly for consolation. Dried off, they shared margaritas.
"Look at the bright side your attractive and single. You get to start over." This didn't cheer up Barbara who was feeling undesirable, unattractive, and miserable to boot.
"I hate the dating scene I am just not comfortable with it," she complained twisting her hair around her fingers
"You're just feeling insecure right now that's all." She thought Barbara was actually quite beautiful and exotic with her shoulder length red hair, freckles, and milky white complexion. Truth be told too she was also jealous of Barbara's voluptuous figure. Barbara was generously shaped with curves in all the right places. Barb breasts were larger than her own. They were well rounded and large. Her's were less than a handful she ruminated, but you have to work with what you’ve got and Jim really liked hers. She liked the way Barbara's breasts strained the fabric of her bikini top threatening literally to bust out. Barb's thighs were well rounded and proportional to her body and she had a crease beneath her buttocks that her suit complemented. Voluptuous and feminine, Janine thought enviously, and she doesn't even know it
Janine, on the other hand, was slim and her curves were smaller not as dramatic as Barbara's, but she was no less appealing to the eye. She thought her best features was her long tanned legs and she showed them off every chance she got. Her breasts were small, pert, and upturned and they jiggled pleasantly when she walked. Barbara secretly envied Janine's heart shaped ass
"Jim said he finds you attractive."
"What?" she replied at once shocked, flattered, but disbelieving,
"He did?" she asked doubtfully
"Yes, several times I caught him checking you out." Janine reported with a mystifying smile. "I saw him eyeing your breasts and ass when he thought I wasn't looking." she said her smile mischievously widening,
"I asked him about it. You know, if he found you attractive. He said he did."
"Gosh, I don't know what to say." Barbara was flabbergasted, sure she had had her fantasies even while she was still married. But this, this was something different
"Don't say anything silly, just accept it. You are still attractive to men." Feeling better now, Barbara relaxed with a sigh. The thought that Jim found her attractive stuck in her mind lie a seed waiting to blossom
"And women," Janine added, in a moment of confession.
"Huh?" said Barb. Janine having experienced sex with women found herself attracted to Barbara.
"Well, its not only men that can find you attractive, silly." Barbara felt a blush come on that warmed her face and chest. She was almost dry now, but felt a little chill sweep through her bikini clad body. Goose pimples raised on her arms. It was more than just the chill of the semi-damp cloth. Janine moved a little closer, looked into Barb's eyes. "I think you're an attractive woman too, Barbara."
