My wife, Marlene, and I had spent the weekend in Pensacola and were on our way back home to Tampa when we decided to stop at the next rest area. We had already been on the road for almost three hours and had almost that many more to go. The rest area was situated on a high hill (high for Florida) nestled in an grove of towering oak trees covered with Spanish moss; it overlooked a saw grass prairie that stretched for miles to the distant tree line.
I opened the car door for my wife of over four years and was treated to the beautiful sight of her new spring flower print, bikini panties as she opened her legs to get out. Of course I had seen them earlier that morning before we left the motel and several times along the highway as we enjoyed a little playful petting to break up the monotony of long stretches of desolate Florida highway. I never tired of that little pleasure in life and enjoyed it as often as possible. Marlene seemed to enjoy showing off for me as much as I enjoyed seeing her.
After using the restrooms we held hands and walked across the grassy knoll to stretch our legs and enjoy the aroma of the blooming Oleander and Hysteria. We saw a man walking a beautiful, obviously young, Irish setter coming in our direction; it may have been the dog walking the man, it was hard to tell. As they got closer Marlene asked the man if she could pet his dog; he readily agreed and moved closer to us.
Even though she was wearing a rather short skirt Marlene squatted down to pet the overly friendly, overly energetic, young dog. She was not against giving a deserving stranger a quick peek and a man who loved animals certainly qualified as a deserving stranger. As she began talking to the dog, rubbing its ears and head, the dog tried to jump on her which, in turn, sent her sprawling backwards onto the grass with a rather loud shriek. Her legs were spread wide open, her skirt went up, and the dog's owner and I both got a beautiful view of her new spring flower print, bikini panties.
The dog's owner wasn't sure just what to do, enjoy the beautiful sight, help her up-since he was the closest to her, or turn away like a gentleman until she recover her dignity.
He offered his hand saying, "I'm so sorry. I'm trying to train him to be more disciplined but he is so full of energy. Are you okay?"
Marlene stood up with his help by the time I got close enough to help then she brushed the back of her skirt, "I'm fine, just a little hurt dignity over showing a complete stranger my ...ah, everything." She said with a chuckle.
The man added, "Well I think you handled it with your dignity completely intact."
He held out his hand again to Marlene, "I'm Com....uh, Ted and this is my buddy, Riley. Sorry I've been trying to break the habit of using my rank since I retired. Old habits are hard to break."
Ted was a six foot, fiftyish man with a very obvious military bearing wearing a faded Naval Academy tee shirt and class ring.
I offered my hand, "I'm Will and this beautiful woman is my wife, Marlene."
We stood in the shade of one of the Spanish moss laden oak trees and talked for several minutes. Ted had retired several months earlier as a Lieutenant Commander after twenty-eight years in the Navy. He bought a motor home to tour the country before deciding where to live and settle down.
Marlene continued to pet the dog as she also listened to Ted and I talk then she interrupted with, "Guys I hate to break this up but I am getting hungry and it will be a ways down the highway before we find a place."
Ted immediately injected, "I have some fresh barbecue I'm keeping warm in the oven. Why don't you guys join me?"
Then he looked at Marlene saying, "I know Riley would love for you to stay." motioning towards the young setter licking her face.
The motor home was very nice and somewhat roomy but still close quarters. Until we got settled around the small table there was plenty of brushing against each other. Well, let me put it another way, both Ted and I found it necessary to brush against Marlene as we moved about and it was easy to tell she enjoyed it by the way her hard nipples pressed against the light fabric of her top.
Her top was really just a piece of fabric attached to a cord around her neck and another one around her waist with the back and sides completely open. As she moved her arms away from her body the sides of her breasts were often exposed.
Another exciting event occurred when Marlene came out of the small bathroom and Riley stuck his nose up her skirt and into her crotch. She squealed loudly and pushed his head away as Ted turned to see the cause of the commotion. Ted immediately scolded him and motioned for him to go to his bed.
Marlene tried to lessen his concern with, "Well he certainly knows how to make a girl smile."
Everyone chuckled then Ted added, "I wish I could get by with some of the antics he pulls."
Marlene looked him in the eye and asked, "Are you absolutely sure you cannot get away with them or are you just being too much of a gentleman?"
Ted blushed and replied, "Like I said, old habits are hard to break."
Over a delicious barbeque lunch we got to know more about our new friend and his dog, Riley, who sat beside Marlene with his head in her lap. I could tell that her interest in Ted was building as she sat on his side of the small table and exchanged touches during the conversation. Marlene and I had opened our relationship to others from time to time; sometimes it would be with an interesting woman we had met and sometimes, like this time with Ted, it would be with an interesting man.
