If Sara is perturbed by her partner's unexpected presence at breakfast, she is not showing it.
"When did you get back in town?" she asks nonchalantly.
"Last night," he replies.
"When last night?"
"Does it matter?"
"You didn't come to bed."
"I didn't want to wake you, so I crashed in one of the spare rooms. Anyway, the bedroom door was locked."
"And did you sleep alone?"
"What sort of question is that?" he barks.
"It's a joke, grumblebum. It's just that Mike and some others bunked here after the party. And I had visions of you stumbling in on them."
"Mike's here?"
"It's not like it's the first time he has stayed over," she counters.
"Yeah, but not when I've been away."
"Really?" she says.
He thinks he sees her smirk. Then again, he is looking for the devil in everything.
"Anyway, how was the party this year?" he inquires.
"I wasn't sure about going as the slut, not without my favourite pimp."
"You were OK. I asked Mike to look after you."
"You what?"
"I mean, you know, just keep an eye out. Not to spy on you or anything."
"I can't believe you did that."
"What's the big deal. You made it home in one piece."
"It's a big deal to me."
"I don't know why."
"Well, it puts a different slant on all the extra attention he gave me."
"What kind of attention?"
"The kind that helps a man get lucky."
She leaves him to wrestle with that notion, and heads off for a shower.

The cool shower proves to be just the tonic she needs. Sara decides to wait awhile, letting the morning air dry her.
Her peace is interrupted when Mike and Toulouse-Lautrec wander into the bathroom, clearly feeling the effects of last night's drinking. They haven't noticed her behind the screen, and she decides to leave it that way. Toulouse heads straight for the toilet pedestal, and noisily pisses into the bowl.
"Geez, I needed that," he says, shaking his limp dick dry. "Now I could eat a horse. Wonder where the girls are?"
"Beats me," says Mike, pushing Toulouse aside so he can get his turn to relieve himself. "My guess is they are still asleep. Forget the horse! I could eat Sara, no worries."
"I don't blame you. I'm sure she doesn't appreciate how gorgeous she is."
"I'd like to explain it to her with this," Mike boasts, grabbing his cock. "What do you think, little mate. Wouldn't you like a go at that arse?"
Sara decides it's just the moment to step from behind the shower screen.
"Morning boys!" she says, casually reaching for her clothes. "You don't look at all well. Would a bit of breakfast help?"
Mike is the first to recover. "I'd kill for some bacon and eggs," he replies, and is caught staring at the magnificent tits in front of him.
"They're called breasts, Mike," Sara teases. "And what about you, Lautrec?"
"I knew that!" comes the reply.
"Good for you," she laughs, pulling on a T-shirt that's just long enough.
"Oh! Breakfast in fifteen minutes," she adds, as she saunters out of the room.
* * * * * *
Sara is surprised by how aroused she has become. It gets worse when she detours to tidy up the spa room. As she rushes uneasily through the task, Lautrec catches up with her.
"I'm going to go, Sara. I just wanted to see if you are OK about last night before I do."
"I'm fine with it, Toulouse-Lautrec."
"Actually it's Charlie."
"Charlie eh? It's good to put a face and a real name to, well, you know! Anyway, it's OK. Things probably worked out for the best."
"Probably, but I just want you to know that doesn't usually happen. In fact it hasn't happen before."
"That's what all the guys say!"
"Seriously, it hasn't. But when you asked did I want to join the others, I-""
"You don't have to explain what happened. They were my tits in the firing line, remember."
"You still could have gone over to the others."
"I know. But the moment had passed."
"And now we'll never know."
