As the plane landed, Wendy squeezed Alex's hand and looked at him with a huge smile on her face.
"I can't believe we're in Hawaii!"
Alex smiled back. "I know. Finally, we can unwind. No email, no status meetings, no conference calls, no zoom calls. Just you and me in paradise!"
They were both ready for a vacation, and Maui was the perfect destination. They both worked hard, and after ten years of marriage, they finally planned a two-week vacation. They had taken long weekends and even had a couple of week-long trips, but two weeks away from work seemed like a dream.
Wendy worked at a mid-sized law firm, and when she was an associate, she worked crazy hours. She still worked a lot, but now that she made partner, she had a little more flexibility. Alex worked for a large, international consulting firm, and he recently was named a Vice President. At different times over the years he travelled a lot, but recently he had some local clients, so he was home a lot more.
They met when Alex was getting his MBA and Wendy was in law school. She went straight through after undergrad, but Alex took a year off to work after he got his Bachelor's degree in Business. They both studied a lot in school and did well, leading to multiple job offers. They decided to go with offers in New York City, and they got married a few months after graduation.
Their marriage was good. They both were ambitious, so each understood the other's need to work hard to get ahead. They never argued about money since they both made a lot. And they never argued about how to raise their children since they didn't have any. That's another reason that they had a lot of money in the bank.
And they didn't argue about sex. Alex would have liked it more frequently, but they never argued about it. And Wendy enjoyed sex when they did it, but she didn't have the same "need" that Alex seemed to have. Alex loved Wendy and thought she still looked really hot. Even with their sometimes-crazy work schedules, they each managed to work out a few times a week, either on some equipment in their condo or at the club.
And even though Alex always enjoyed sex with Wendy, it wasn't exactly wild. Wendy was happy with any position -- as long as it was guy-on-top missionary. And she didn't like too much foreplay. And oral -- in either direction -- was out of the question. But as long as it was right before going to sleep, and they hadn't had it in a week or so, and Wendy wasn't too tired, and she didn't have her period, and it wasn't too late, she was willing to do it if Alex asked. Alex just didn't understand how someone who orgasmed almost every time still had to be convinced to do it.
They retrieved their luggage and went to pick up their rental car. The drive to the resort was beautiful, and they were both already relaxing as they viewed the incredible scenery.
The resort was exquisite. Even before they got to the circle drive, they could see the lush flowers and views over the ocean. Bellhops ran to their car to help unload their luggage, and the check-in process was smooth and quick.
When they walked into their room, they both gasped. Even though they had paid extra for a nicer room, they couldn't believe how big it was. The huge sliding glass door was open, begging them to walk out onto their private balcony overlooking the ocean. The reality of the view was even better than the marketing pictures. They could hear the gentle waves rolling onto the beachfront not far from the balcony, and they could smell the fresh ocean air. As soon as the bellhop left, Wendy gave Alex a big hug.
"This is fantastic. This will be the best week ever!"
Alex hugged her back and gave her a long kiss. He moved his hand up her side until it covered her breast.
"I know a great way we could start the vacation", he said, as he started to massage her breast.
"In the middle of the day?" she replied, as she pushed him away. "C'mon, let's put on our bathing suits and get down to the beach. We can unpack later."
Alex sighed. He opened the suitcases and found their bathing suits, and they both changed.
"You look awfully good in that bikini," he said.
Wendy smiled. "Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself."
They went down to the private beach, which was only for hotel guests. At some hotels, you had to pay extra for a lounger; here they were "free". They were "free" because the hotel charged an outrageous daily "resort fee". So, once you pay a fee, the loungers were "free". Alex laughed every time he thought about all the "free" items he was paying for.
They found a couple of loungers with an umbrella next to them, laid out their "free" towels, and lay down. The weather was absolutely perfect: warm, but not boiling hot. A warm breeze blew in off the ocean. The soothing sound of the waves just added to the idyllic scene.
Just after they got comfortable, Alex noticed a woman walking toward them. She was wearing a white bikini covering a perfect body. She walked right up to his lounger, and said, "I'm sorry, can I just grab my bag from here?" She reached under the lounger and pulled out a beach bag.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" Alex said. "I didn't see that when we sat down. Wendy, we need to move."
"Don't be silly -- you're already comfortable."
"No, no. We took your loungers. I feel terrible," Alex said.
"Just stop," she said with a laugh. There are two right next to you. We'll use these." She tossed her bag under the lounger next to Alex. "I'm Sam, by the way," and she held out her hand.
Alex, who was sitting up on the side of the lounger, shook her hand. "Hi, Sam. I'm Alex, and this is my wife Wendy." Sam and Wendy gave a wave to each other and said hi.
"My sister is around here somewhere," Sam said, as she looked around. Then she gave a big "over here" type wave to a woman walking in their general direction. As she got closer, Sam started looking back and forth at Sam and the woman walking toward them. Twice he looked at one and then the other. It was the same body, the same brown hair, and the same face. The same toned legs, the same flat stomach, and the same perfect breasts -- maybe a full B / small C - in a different bathing suit.
As she got close, Sam said, "Bari, this is Alex and Wendy. They stole our loungers." And then she started laughing. "This is my sister, Bari."
Alex and Wendy said hi, and Wendy only just noticed that they looked identical. "Oh my, twins!" she blurted out. And then she turned red. "Um, sorry. I didn't mean to shout that out."
Alex laughed. "She's pretty quick, huh? Wendy, did you figure that out all on your own?"
They all laughed, and Sam said, "Don't worry. It happens all the time."
The girls sat down, and they all started talking. The girls explained this trip was a gift from their parents. They both just completed their MBAs at Stanford, and it was their last hurrah before entering the working world.
After an hour of chatting, Alex said, "We're going to go grab some lunch at the patio. Please let me buy you lunch since I stole your chairs."
