that are positioned next to it. I test the water with my toe, take it out. It’s cold. Melisa calls me.
“Can you apply some of this oil on my back?”
I give her a rub. I turn to Yasmin asking her if she wants some on her back, too. She’s still devouring the cookies. I start laughing.
“Colin must have really worn you out if you’re so hungry.”
She just looks at me impishly and winks. Then she says:
“I think I’ll go and take a shower first. Only then I’ll join you. But thanks, you can rub my back later.”
I decide that I’ll start with my front. I take the bottle and apply the oil liberally all over my skin. I stretch on the deck chair, set the shade over my face and let the sun caress my skin. I can hear Yasmin moving, taking my robe and leaving us. She comes back after a few minutes and from under my half-closed eyelids I see that she also uses some oil on her body.
Time is passing, the sun's shifting its position in the sky. I don’t know how long it is before I decide it’s time to turn to the other side. I ask Yasmin to apply the oil on my back. When I lift my hair for her to be able to rub my shoulder blades and neck, she gasps.
“Eleyne, you have a love bite...!”
“Oh!” I react. “Is it very red?”
“Not too much. Did Tony bite you?” She winks.
“He did, indeed.” I wink back, “I may only be surprised that there’s only one... I think he bit me more than once last night.”
She chuckles while we exchange the favour and proceeds to rub some of the fat on our butts and legs. Melisa decides she wants to swim a bit and in a moment we hear her shrieks and laughter when she enters the cold water. When we laugh and joke at her, she splashes some water on us making us shriek too. When we don’t want to get any wetter and beg her to stop, she looks impishly at us.
“Chickens, you’re not afraid of a little cold water are you?” Then she splashes again until we escape from our deck chairs a bit farther from the pool; her smile turns vengeful. “My little revenge. Stop having dirty thoughts about Jim. He's mine.”
“What the hell?!” Yasmin exclaims.
“She wants me to share Jim with her and you,” Melisa sulks, but she can't splash us more, we're too far away.
“Good idea,” Yasmin smiles impishly, “I certainly would like to put my hands on him. He's too hot to be left in your ‘care’ only.” Saying that she winks at me. “I just don't know what Colin would say to this...”
“Don't worry, I believe the guys are able to reach some kind of accommodation in this matter.” I wink back at her.
Melisa's obviously not happy hearing our exchange.
“Come on, woman,” I say with a little exasperated, “I don't know how long you'll be able to keep him for yourself, you know his reputation, don't you? Some gal on the rock forum said he's a guy who can't keep his pants up for 24 hours…”
“Oh, yeah, and Babette said she had read something about him saying that he would shag anything that moves and has a pussy,” Yasmin adds. I burst out laughing, but Melisa just murmurs something under her nose and starts swimming, pretending not to hear us.
Yasmin looks conspiratorially at me and whispers.
“You want Jim, too? Isn’t he too small for you?”
“Yeah, I know I’m a bit taller than him, but height doesn’t matter in bed. It’s the other things that count. Sure, I want him. And I see that you also wonder about the contents of his pants, especially after Melisa’srevelations. She says his tongue is fantastic.”
“Sure, he’s been displaying it often enough. Don’t you remember all those videos and photos when he licks the guitar?”
“Oh yeah,” I almost purr, “I’ve always wanted to be that guitar.”
“Me too.” She smiles in a feline way. Then asks, “and what about Tony?”
“Gods, he’s more than I can say. He’s my dreams and fantasies incarnate… I’ve never expected to meet him like this,” I sigh, “and to have a piece of
