"So, tell me. Is that what I have to look forward to every morning?" smiled Jen as she sipped her second cup of coffee.
Tim shrugged and raised his eyebrows playfully. "Who knows? I've been a little more stimulated than usual for the last 24 hours. So, maybe... if the stimulation continues..."
There was a fair amount of truth in his playful words. Since they had arrived on the island yesterday afternoon he had cum 4 times. Hard. That was more sex than he had seen in any week of at least the last seven years. Frankly, he was a little surprised that he had been "up" for the task each time. And he was even more surprised that Jen had been that willing. Or that "stimulating". Even this morning she was dressed in a way that made him think twice about his golf date: a simple white blouse with buttons down the front, tied just under her breasts and open enough at the top to hint at her cleavage, red shorts that hugged her lean hips and those long, tanned legs that he hardly remembered ever seeing before.
As he took in the sight he heard a long, low whistle behind him. "Man, are you sure you want to turn her loose on this island looking like that?" It was Mickey, who was quickly scolded by his wife.
"Behave yourself! She looks amazing and Tim knows that she can certainly take care of herself."
"Amazing, indeed," agreed Mickey. "Tim, you are one lucky man!"
"I can't disagree with you."
Jen blushed as the threesome made a small fuss over her. She quickly tried to change the conversation. "So, where are you two off to this morning?"
"I thought I'd take your husband over to my favorite course," Mickey replied. "I've been playing it for years, so I hope to have an advantage over him there."
"I don't get to play that much these days," said Tim, "so I don't think I'm going to be much competition for you."
Mickey looked long at Jen before answering. "No, I don't suppose you can get out that much, with so many other things to do."
"Mickey!" There was a certain playfulness in Kate's voice as she tried to reign her husband in.
"Okay, Okay. Tim, kiss your wife -- and your money -- goodbye. Let's go play golf."
.......................................................
"I hope Mickey's teasing doesn't bother you, Jen. He's mostly harmless, but sometimes he pushes the boundaries of good taste. Especially when we're here."
"It's fine. I like a sense of humor. And, to be honest, I'm sort of pushing some boundaries myself this week," Jen confided.
The two climbed into the back seat of a taxi that had been summoned for them by a hotel porter.
"Times Square, please," said Kate. The driver smiled and pulled the car quickly away from the curb.
"Times Square?" Kate was confused.
"Yep. Believe it or not, it's a little shopping area just down the street. No neon signs or massive video screens. Just some fun little shops. So, tell me about those boundaries."
"I don't know. It's kind of silly, I guess. Our lives are just so... normal. When we're at home we're all about the kids, and work, and school stuff, and church and being responsible, you know?" Somehow, Jen found Kate to be easy to talk to. "So, for this trip, I decided to let my hair down a little and do some things I would never dare to do at home."
"Sounds fun! We have sort of developed the same habit when we come here. You know, 'what happens in Jamaica', and all that. Here, it's just about the two of us. We don't feel that we need to answer to anyone else. We just have fun and go where our whims take us. And they have taken us to some pretty nice places over the years," Kate laughed.
She paid the driver, tipping him generously, and they stepped onto the sidewalk, heading for the closest store. "So, exactly how do you plan on letting your hair down?"
"Honestly?" Jen wondered how much she should tell her new friend. "I was just hoping to enjoy a little more, um, intimacy with Tim. My wardrobe for the week is a lot more revealing than anything I would dare to wear at home. And, so far," she blushed, "it seems to be working."
Kate laughed again. "I thought I noticed a certain satisfied glow about you. Now," directing Jen to the nearest store, "let's go in here and work a little more on that wardrobe."
.......................................................
Mickey's first drive was long and straight, which meant the cart would be stopping for Tim first. Mickey followed him over to the edge of the rough for his second shot. He talked constantly, or so it seemed, but Tim didn't mind. He liked his new friend.
"Listen, Tim. I hope you didn't take offense to what I said about Jen. You're a very lucky man, as you know, and what woman doesn't like a compliment?"
Tim paused long enough to line up his second stroke, landing his ball fairly close to Mickey's drive. "No offense taken. And I don't think she minded either. You want to know the truth? It's probably been a long time since anyone has ever said anything like that to her."
"Seriously?" Tim was genuinely surprised. "I would think you would be knocking guys away from her all the time."
"Well, how can I put this? You caught her on an unusual week," Tim laughed.
"How so?"
"Jen's very conservative. She wears very little makeup. She dresses like a mom. I know that she's beautiful, but she does nothing to enhance it or to be sexy in public. Apparently, she's bought an entire wardrobe just for this trip. In fact, she told me her suitcases are going to be empty going home since she can never wear any of this stuff again."
"Really?" Mickey's second shot landed a few feet shy of the green. "Well, I think I understand, actually. This annual trip to Jamaica is our one chance to just enjoy ourselves, without the usual restrictions of everyday life and responsibilities. Our first trip here changed us in ways we would have never dreamt of."
"That good, eh?" Tim's next shot was well to the left of the green, rolling down a hill toward a sand trap.
"Unbelievably good." Mickey seemed to drift away for a bit as they climbed back into the cart.
.......................................................
They were already in their third store. Kate seemed to be looking for something in particular as she led her new friend from place to place.
"What, exactly, are you looking for?" Jen finally asked.
Kate smiled and raised her eyes mischievously. "Something for you. Something perfect!"
"Why do I feel like I should be nervous?"
Kate laughed. "No need to be nervous. We're on vacation. This is Jamaica. There's no stress here. That's why I love coming down every year. It's our annual escape from life."
"Really? How bad is life that you need to escape from it?"
"No. Don't misunderstand, our life is great. This is just different. And important. We've learned how valuable this time is to us as a couple. We get to rekindle the things that get lost in the routines and stresses of our normal schedules and responsibilities. Those things aren't bad. In fact, most of them are good. They just get in the way of us sometimes, you know?"
Jen nodded. She knew all too well.
"It seems like every year we learn a little more about ourselves and about each other. So we decided a long time ago that this trip was only about us. Our relationship. Our fun! Nothing else matters. We have fun and then we get to remember it for a year and think about what might be coming next year."
Jen was about to ask why they couldn't have "fun" at home, but before she had the chance Kate was pulling her toward a rack of bathing suits in the corner of the store.
"What kind of suits did you bring. Or did you even bother?"
Jen's mind immediately flashed the image of what they had seen on the beach the day before. "No! I mean, yes, of course, I brought suits. I didn't even know that the hotel was... um... you know... until yesterday."
Kate studied her younger friend for a brief second before smiling. "You remind me of me on our first trip here. You were shocked by what you saw, right? Worried that Tim saw, too. Worried that he might have liked it. Even worse, worried -- just a little -- that you like it, too. At least on some deep, hidden almost scary level."
Jen bit her lip.
"I get it. All our lives we good girls are told to be careful, to cover up, to protect, to deny, to ignore what we might be feeling. As we grow up we surround ourselves with others who say and believe the same thing. Then one day, it's like we get run over by reality. Something we didn't expect is suddenly staring us in the face and it triggers a response that we don't quite know how to handle."
"So here you are this week. Dressed in a -- what did you call it? -- a more revealing way than normal. And you find out that you are not even close to the most daring person here. You find out that your husband likes it. And that you like the extra attention that you get from him, and other men."
