Being deployed for about five months, I had a few letters and phone calls from home. However, most of the guys had girlfriends and were quick to show off photos to outdo each other for the hottest girl. Some would share pictures of their girls naked. I had little time to think about sex as we operated on range patrols. The general idea was to observe and report activities and avoid contact, as this would reveal we were in the area. If we did have contact, we would find ourselves outnumbered, so it always ended in a fire and movement.
The team leader told us we would have four weeks' leave and could return home. So we were on a flight to the nearest international airport two days later. On arrival, I discovered they had made a mistake with my flight. It was the following day, and I booked into a hotel for the night.
I enjoyed a long hot shower and headed for the restaurant for a meal. I had been seated for a few minutes when a waiter asked if I would mind sharing my table with another couple as the restaurant was busy. I didn't care and thought the company would be good. The waiter escorted two women to my table. They were good-looking, one a red-head, the other a brunette and probably around ten years older than myself. They introduced themselves as Glenice and Jane and told me they had been friends since childhood. I could tell by the accents they were Irish. Jane separated from her husband a few months ago, and they were on holiday together to help her overcome the separation. Glenice joked that Jane needed a good night of sex, as she had not been with anyone since.
After dinner, they asked if I would like to join them at the bar, where we continued the conversation. Glenice, the brunette, was excited to learn I was single and on my way home. However, Glenice was married but stood close to me at the bar. We were occasionally bumping or touching my arm. After a few more drinks, Glenice asked if I would have sex with Jane. As she did, she sidled up and whispered she wanted to watch. Jane looked uncomfortable and tried to change the subject and remind Glenice she was married. Glenice told her not to be a prude and suggested we return to their hotel room.
