Moments of Foreign Pleasure
It was a quieter night at the resort. The holiday season was nearing the end and a new week had begun with the weather forecasted to hold out and remain warm, not overbearingly hot. It was clear that autumn was approaching, spells of rain having already blown through but leaving the air fresher than before. Only those with no children, or retirees wanting to take in the scenery and not have the tumult of families and children all around, were now on the site, a variety of campervans parked with enough space between them to make you believe that you were all but alone. You could park under the trees or along a boundary at the top of the slope and take in the Provence scenery beyond.
'We've picked just the right time to be here,' Ralph smiled, casting an approving glance at his wife. 'You've caught the sun and your hair looks just wonderful!' He held out his cocktail glass in a toast to her. 'To my beautiful wife and lover, Audrey.'
His woman looked so darned good in her revealing white tank top and jeans, bangles and bracelets on each wrist, dangly earrings that swayed with every movement of her head, and a colourful bandana tying back and covering her sandy blonde hair. Their weeks out in the sun had turned it into a golden crown. She always tanned so beautifully and he was proud of her; of how Audrey kept her slender figure. It was the result of a carefully managed diet, not too much alcohol, lots of exercise, and an adventurous spirit in and out of bed.
'To my darling husband,' she smiled and touched his glass with hers. 'We're here at this time of year to save money, but that never stops you and your ideas. So, what adventures have you got in mind for us tonight?'
She leaned across the narrow table, her breasts pressing against its edge, to kiss him and he could not keep from sliding the backs of his fingers over her cleavage, gripping her necklace to maintain the kiss, a moment's swirl of their tongues in the other's mouth.
'Let's take these drinks down to the hot tubs...they have some set aside in a secluded spot, for those who dip in the nude. It's what you like doing.'
'As you do,' she answered with a playful tap on his arm.
'I'm not the only one who likes doing that. Come on, bathrobe at the ready! I'll mix some more cocktail out of the fridge and put it in a thermos and take it with us.'
'Good idea but don't go thinking I'll drink too much and you get away with things and become improper.'
'As if I would!
'Yes, you would!' She laughed and skipped away from him.
Audrey went into the confined space of the bedroom, set at the back of the campervan, its luxurious fitting -out something that Ralph had been willing to pay for. He'd sold out his businesses and taken early retirement and decided to take a month-long tour of Europe and see how far they got or chose to go before it was time to think of the journey home. But that was still some weeks away.
'Think you can keep off me until we're in that tub?' she laughed softly as Ralph held her to him and she threaded her fingers with his for an instant. 'Let's hope we have it to ourselves, seeing how late it is.'
They didn't. When they arrived, passed through the high timber screen that kept people from looking in, they soon saw that they would not be alone.
'There goes our plan,' Ralph muttered before he greeted Felix and Klara Berger, a couple younger than they were but none of them had made an issue of that. They had gotten along the previous day and had made nothing of the fact that they had first met at the nude pool, then on the secluded part of the beach, the resort set aside each year for nudists and sun lovers that broke the mould of the majority of people they catered for.
'Hello again!' Ralph said jovially enough. 'We've hiked through the woods and spent time by the pool...we wanted a rest after driving most of yesterday to get here.'
'Well, you have caught the sun,' Klara said admiringly, her English heavily accented but surprisingly good. She said it on looking at Audrey with renewed interest in her eyes. 'We wanted to spend some special moments in the water of the tub. I like to feel the bubbles, don't you?'
Ralph laughed. They seemed to have something in common, or an interest in living it out under the stars, the only light now coming from under the bubbling waters of the tub. 'We had that idea too!'
They all dropped their robes on the slatted sun benches spread around the deck, before stepping slowly into the water, Audrey gripping his outstretched hand, as much for reassurance that it was safe as to bond with him as they took stock of the company they were in. Usually, she is self-conscious about her appearance but tonight, after the initial shock of them not being alone had passed, she began to relax, feeling more at ease to be naked with two people they scarcely knew but who shared a similar pursuit.
'Don't be embarrassed,' Felix smiled, looking at each of them in turn, 'or is this something new to you?'
'No, it's not,' Ralph answered curtly. 'We were just hoping to be alone....'
'Then the four of us can be alone together,' Felix grinned, and they all laughed a little nervily as they sat against the side of the tub on the narrow ledge and chatted, Felix making no secret of his interest in Audrey and giving her more than just a casual look as they spoke of the first thing to come to mind. Klara kept looking at them with a big wondering smile on her slender, tanned, face, her hair hanging limply onto her shoulders. She kept shifting to reach for the drink's tumbler she had placed at the hot tub's edge, the faint outline of her bikini top, paler triangles with her nipples at their centre, to be seen.
'Here, try some of our drink,' Audrey suggested, 'Ralph makes a wicked cocktail.' She smiled at him and he grabbed the large thermos and poured out four measures. 'Be careful, sip slowly...it's got a kick like a mule!'
Ralph shifted along the ledge to sit next to Klara, Felix sitting on the other side of her.
'Share, try this with me, and see if you like it,' Ralph coaxed, pressing against Klara and offering his glass to her lips.
'I like us being friendly,' Klara chuckled, pressing her thigh against his and stroking it, teasingly close to his prick. She sipped while holding his look into her eyes. 'What else do you two want to share, I wonder?'
They were settling into the mood, sipped on their drinks, shared them and they began to laugh as the conversation bubbled between them, just as the warm water worked its magic on them all. Ralph surprised Felix when he told him he had taken early retirement and that he and Audrey were making a short tour in the hired campervan that cost them a fortune but offered the comfort and some space that they needed.
'Get me some iced water, would you Felix...please?' Klara asked, leaning across Ralph and deliberately brushing his skin with her breast, a hand sliding over his thigh, unseen, under the water.
'Steady, Klara,' he murmured, a thrill coursing through his groin. He then felt Audrey's hand slide over his neck and turned to see her soft smile at him, the pout of a kiss suggesting that she was getting into the mood that was being set.
'Go with him, love...so Klara and I can talk. Okay?'
'Sure, and we'll do the same and see where it takes us.'
