Only if you've read the first three parts will this make sense. Everyone in this story is over eighteen.

I glanced at my companion as we were both eating a rather limp sandwich on our flight to Alicante, and wondered at just how little I knew about Kirsty, the girl I'd just agreed to share my life with. Achingly beautiful, she certainly was, and when she turned and smiled nervously at me, her green eyes were close to shedding tears. I realised that she was feeling much as I was.
I said, 'We're going to have to get to know each other aren't we?'
'I guess so,' she replied, 'but I was just thinking about us – and how happy I am that you've come with me. If you hadn't, I think I'd have killed myself.' She reached out and took my hand in hers, giving the tiny chain hanging from my little fingernail a stroke.
'But Simone just got carried away, didn't she?'
'Sure. At first, I just loved it when she whipped me, but then she went on and on, and when I yelled out the "safe word" she had given me at the charity caning, she just laughed, and carried on, carried on until I passed out from the pain.'
I gave her hand a squeeze. 'I'm not much of a nurse,' I told her, 'but I'll see what I can do for your poor back when we get there.'
Don't worry, Sara, it'll heal in time,' she said, but I could see that it hurt, as she shifted around constantly in her seat, and grimaced as she did so. Like me, she had elected to wear a long cotton dress for the flight, and I thought how lovely and innocent she looked, with her long, straight brown hair framing her lovely face.
'I'll bet it's cured you of wanting to be whipped,' I suggested.
'For the moment, darling, for the moment,' she smiled ruefully, 'but don't imagine I've changed, will you.'
'But I'm no dominatrix.'
'Bea said you were very excited when you watched me being caned.'
I didn't reply to that, even though I knew there was much truth in it – the stewardess collecting our rubbish interrupted, then the seat-belt sign came on, and we started our descent.
It was nice and warm as we emerged from the terminal and found a taxi. The grumpy driver had difficulty finding his way to the house, having to ask directions in a village we passed through, but after an hour, we stood in front of a low rambling villa, with a light illuminating the porticoed doorway, and others shining behind two windows. A pineclad mountainside was the backdrop.
'There's someone here?' I asked, slightly alarmed.
'No. My father has a woman, Maria, who keeps the place clean, and tidies up the garden.'
As she spoke, the door opened and a short, well-rounded woman in her fifties bustled out to greet us. I got another surprise when Kirsty spoke with her in what sounded like fluent Spanish. As we went in, she laughed at my expression. 'We lived in Florida in the winter – you need Spanish there.'
'How little I know you, Kirsty.'
For reply, she pecked my cheek, and we set about exploring the capacious house, as Maria left us alone. A moment later, I heard the sound of a moped starting up as she sped off home.
We raided the well-stocked fridge, and I found my eyes closing involuntarily as we sat at the kitchen table.
'I don't know about you, but I'm bushed,' said Kirsty, as if she were reading my mind, 'but I've something to ask you.'
'Go ahead,' I said, looking at her curiously.
'Do you want your own room, or are we going to share?'
'That's up to you, darling – it's your house.'
'Then please sleep with me, Sara. If I snore, just kick me!'
In no time at all, we had slipped off our dresses and slid naked between crisp white sheets. I was asleep in an instant.
I awoke next morning to find our legs entwined, but Kirsty was propped up on an elbow, and watched me wake up slowly, taking a little time to figure out where I was.
She bent over and kissed my eyes, then her lips found mine, and she simultaneously cupped my breast with her free hand, and pushed her flat belly against me, slipping a long, slender leg between mine. I welcomed it by parting my own legs slightly, and kissed her fervently.
'Oh, Sara, I do believe that was our first real kiss!' she breathed, as we 'came up for air.'
I pulled her towards me then, and she winced noticeably.
'I'm so sorry, darling, I forgot,' I told her, 'do we have any balm, or ointment?'
'There's just about everything in the bathroom,' she replied, and I slid out of bed to go and find what I needed.
As I eased balm into Kirsty's tortured back and buttocks, I couldn't help remembering when Helen had last tended my own welts – rubbing in salt in lieu of ointment. When I told Kirsty about it, she looked at me with her huge green eyes full of love, and said, 'We're both well out of that, I think, don't you?'
'Yes, I do,' I confirmed, but the sight of all the red stripes that covered Kirsty's back was undeniably a pretty one, and I couldn't help wondering how long it would be before our urges returned.
Again, the American girl seemed to read my thoughts. 'You know I really do love pain, though, don't you, Sara? I don't think I shall ever change.'
'I know, darling. Let's just see what transpires, eh?'
What transpired immediately, however, was that, as I smoothed the soothing cream into the stripes on her buttocks, my hand found its own way into her inviting crack, and soon I was feeling her increasing wetness. Still laying on her stomach, she opened her legs to me, and moaned as I found her clit, which was urgently demanding attention, standing proud of its protecting hood like a little soldier. When I flicked it with a long nail, she groaned, and said, 'Oh, Sara, you can do that to me forever – and anything else you like!'
I plunged two fingers deep into her hot, moist vagina, which seemed to suck me in, and I was soon drawn down to lay beside her – my love, my darling Kirsty.
Before I could do more than kiss her, I felt her shudder sharply.
'I'm sorry, Sara – I just came!' she said.
'I know, my darling,' I said, as, wordlessly, she eased my own legs apart, and I felt her long, silky hair brush my thighs, then her teeth were busy at my labia, pulling them gently apart, before she thrust her tongue into my eager cunt.
'Oh, Kirsty,' I cried, 'I love you, I love you!' Then all was lost as the delicious, roaring orgasm swept over me like a tsunami.
We spent the rest of the morning taking stock of our surroundings – it was a nice, big house, set in the mountains, gardens fragrant with honeysuckle, lantana and hibiscus. I scarcely dare believe my luck, but as we sat on the terrace to watch the sun go down, I voiced my concern.
'It's very lovely here, but look, Kirty, we've got no work – how do we live?'
'Don't worry about that,' she said, 'I've got plenty of money. Tomorrow we should go buy some clothes and stuff.'
I looked at her, and she laughed. 'Don't look at me like that. I used to be embarrassed by Daddy's money, but I've learned to live with it.'
There was a nice swimming pool at the back of the house, invisible from the road, and, after a light lunch we cobbled together, we both stripped off and swam up and down naked, even though the water was, in truth, a trifle chilly. Invigorated, we towelled each other off, then sat together on the seat of a big garden swing. I had my arm around her shoulders, and we were kissing slowly and tenderly, oblivious to all else, when I heard an attention-getting cough. Startled, we parted, almost guiltily, to see a girl about our own age, slim and darkly pretty, with long, straight, jet-black hair, and eyes that seemed almost black as well, stood by the pool, looking embarrassed at finding us naked, kissing.
'My mother send me to ask if you want anything,' she said, in heavily-accented English.
