The rest of the week seemed to fly past, Alice and I getting used to sleeping during the day, sometimes teasing Tim with a phone call from work, sometimes giving him a taste of us before he dropped us off. Then when he picked us up in the morning, letting him feel the full effect of our night's imaginings before we closed our eyes.
Finally Saturday morning came, and Tim picked us up as usual. "I remembered to put all your stuff in the boot, so we can go straight to the spa," he grinned, accepting a kiss.
After a short drive we pulled up outside the posh-looking building. Tim retrieved our bags from the boot, and we made our way into the reception area, Tim going to check us in. The dark-suited man behind the desk glanced up. "Oh, Mr Oakes - I'm sorry, I didn't realise your guests worked in healthcare - I'll make sure the discount is applied to your bill."
Tim threw us a grin and a shrug, and signed the book with a flourish. "Thank you."
He came back over to us. "OK. A bit later you're booked for beauty treatments, whatever that consists of. Not that you need them," he added hastily. "Then massage, make-up, nails - yes, Alice, feet too. And this evening I've booked us into the restaurant - you brought your dresses, right?"
He grinned. "You can pick anything you like from the wine list, cocktails, whatever. Final treat, we're booked in to stay over, so we can celebrate the end of your night shifts properly."
I couldn't help myself, giving him a hug and a hard kiss on the mouth, and Beth dared to kiss his cheek. "Thanks, Tim."
"So, pool first," he grinned. "I'll meet you at the deep end."
Beth and I made our way to the changing rooms, shedding our uniforms and putting on our new one-piece costumes. Beth's was a deep blue colour, but I'd chosen an eye-catching yellow, and she looked me up and down approvingly. "You look fantastic."
"You too," I nodded. "But, um, Beth, are your nipples showing a little?"
She caught her lip between her teeth. "They might be - I love how tight this feels, you know, there? And over my breasts as well."
I pretended to shake my head despairingly. "You know we have to wait until after dinner before Tim can touch us, right?"
Beth grinned. "I suppose. But you and I are bound to be able to snatch the odd moment."
She looked around to make sure no-one else was in the changing room, and pulled me close, her breasts against mine, nipples hard. She cupped my bottom in her hands, pressing her mound against me, and I couldn't help my moan. "God, Beth, how will we ever make it to tonight?"
"Maybe the showers turn down cold," Beth teased. "Come on, let's get into the pool."
Tim was waiting for us, and I grinned at his awestruck expression. Beth waved fingers in front of his eyes. "Close your mouth," she chuckled, "or half the water in the pool will fall in there."
Without waiting for his reply, she walked over to the lowest of the diving boards, and executed a graceful dive, surfacing and waving to us. "Hmm," I said, "maybe I'll try that later."
I slid into the water from the side of the pool and swam over to Beth. "That was brilliant."
We heard a splash, and Tim surfaced spluttering. "Don't think I've quite got the hang of it."
We swam for a while, then moved to the jacuzzi, enjoying the hot water. "Hmm," grinned Beth, "these bubbles definitely have an effect, don't they."
"Wish I could be touching you to find out," I murmured, and grinned at her shocked look. "Later," she promised.
Finally Tim glanced at the clock. "So, they'll have lunch for us, then you two have your appointments."
"What are you going to do?" Beth queried.
"Maybe I'll try the sauna," Tim shrugged.
He glanced through the pool windows. "Definitely not golf," he grinned.
Lunch was delicious - a seafood salad with a perfect white wine - and Tim delivered us to the beautician in time for our appointment. "See you later."
I'd never been so pampered in my life - face pack, skin products I'd only ever seen in the upmarket shops in the airport Mum had carefully steered me past - and by the time we reached the masseuse, I felt like my whole body was practically glowing. Beth and I were both putty in her hands, and when she went to fetch more of the scented oil, I leaned across to whisper. "Kind of a pity this isn't one of those videos - you know, where she definitely goes a little further than you'd expect."
Even Beth looked mildly shocked, but I saw her eyes flare with imagined pleasure. "Mm, Alice - don't, though - if I get any wetter, I'm sure she'll notice."
We managed to escape from the masseuse without betraying how we were obviously both beginning to feel, and when we got to the make-up room it was my turn to control my reaction as the young woman trimmed my toenails, filed them, then used scented lotion before carefully painting my nails in the colour I'd chosen. She did the same with my fingers, then rested them on my lap. "While that's drying, we'll work on your face, shall we."
When she'd finished, she let me look in the mirror, and I gave Beth a puzzled smile. "I thought I'd look really - you know, dramatic. But I sort of look the same, except everything's a little more...?"
The make-up girl grinned. "That's the skill. Now, Beth, your turn..."
When she'd finished her artistry, she handed each of us a small bag with the colours and tints we'd chosen. "For any touch-ups you need when you've changed for dinner."
The hotel had provided us a room to get ready in, and when we opened the door, Tim was lounging on the bed. I closed the door quickly behind us, and pretended to glower at him. "What if the staff saw you? Only one of us can be your girlfriend, right...?"
He shrugged, grinning. "We can keep them guessing. And when we go in for dinner."
I exchanged smiles with Beth. "Oh, yes, we can definitely have fun with that."
I pretended another frown at Tim. "You've not commented on how we look," I teased. "After we went to all that effort."
