Over the next week or so, Amy raised the general level of nakedness around the resort.
Her open enthusiasm for not wearing clothes was infectious, and whereas before, the Pool Bar and the beach were supposed to be 'clothing optional' areas, now they almost became 'naked obligatory', and the rest of the resort became 'topless expected'. Not everyone joined in, but most did. A couple of more conservative guests left midweek even though they had booked for longer, but several men and even a couple of women quietly said a grateful thankyou to me or to Amy at various times for helping to lower their inhibitions and be more open to new experiences.
The stories of these women were strikingly similar. Once their initial barriers were down and they had experienced the joys of a little nudity and a little public exhibitionism, they felt more liberated, and their whole attitude to the resort, to their husbands, to their sex lives, and even to their own life in general relaxed and improved.
The beautiful weather and the now more erotically charged environment kept Amy in a state of almost constant wet horniness, and we made love several times each day, in all sorts of places, on the beach, waist high in the sea, on our deck, even late one evening in the pool of the Pool Bar with a mango daiquiri in our hands. We were always fairly careful about it, but sometimes we had a small audience and just didn’t care. My fantasy had always been to make love in public in such a way that nobody could see or knew it was happening – secret exhibitionism – but now that element of secrecy seemed less important. I was becoming more exhibitionist than before and I now felt, like Amy did, that it was a real buzz to have someone watch you fucking, especially when both you and the watcher – or watchers – know what's happening.
I was still in the bed one morning, doing what I most loved to do, which was looking at Amy without her clothes on. She was in profile to me, standing silhouetted in the doorway between the big main villa room and the deck, leaning back against one of the architraves. One of her feet was on the doorpost behind her at about knee level, and her head was leaning forward with her hair tumbling over and obscuring her face. At that moment., I desperately wanted something to draw on, but I had decided this was to be a real vacation and I hadn't brought even the smallest of sketch books with me.
"Amy, I don't think I can cope with much more of this. You are so beautiful I am in physical pain over here," I said, drinking in the silhouette that was the curve of her breast and nipple against the light, savouring the taut sweep of her buttock behind the tucked up leg, and enjoying the smile I had brought to her face with my compliment. "What wouldn't I give for a pencil and a drawing pad right now."
Amy pushed herself away from the deck door, walked over towards the front door, and pushed a button set into the wall.
"What did you just do?" I asked.
"I called Buckingham. That's the butler call button."
"Why did you call him?"
"He said he would get anything we want. Well, you want a drawing pad and some pencils. And if you do, so do I."
I had no idea where our butler was going to get those things, but I thought there was no harm in asking.
"What do you think of Buckingham?" said Amy.
"He seems very nice. Why?"
"I meant what do you think of his body?"
"He's in fine shape," I understated, not wanting to risk being physically compared with Buckingham, even theoretically.
"FINE shape?" said Amy scornfully. "That's like calling Hurricane Katrina a 'light shower'. Sam, I think he may have the best body I have ever seen on a man. He's HOT."
There was nothing much useful that I could say about that, so I didn't say anything, and waited. I had a feeling that she had been thinking for some time about what she was going to say next.
"Sam, I want to get him naked, and I if you want to do some drawing that gives us a great excuse. We talked about getting a man to model with me one day, and I can't think of anyone better."
"Did we talk about that? I don't remember any discussion. When you wanted to get Tracey to the studio I recall you said that you weren't thinking of getting a man to model with you."
"I said 'not yet'. And that was then, Sam, this is now. What do you think?"
"He certainly is beautiful. We'll ask him if you like." I thought for a moment whether to ask the obvious question, but I decided it was better to know the answer. "Do you want to fuck him?"
"Sam, are you kidding? Of course I'd like to fuck him. Will I fuck him? I doubt it, if that's what you're worried about."
"Well, it's an idea that's not without its potential dangers from my point of view. I wouldn't want to fly home from here alone."
She looked at me in some surprise and laughed. "Like I might drop out and come and live with our butler in some tropical jungle hideaway? I don't think so."
She made it sound like a foolish idea, but I didn't think that some scenario like that was as impossible as she was suggesting.
"You wanted me?" said Buckingham from our open doorway.
"Come in, Buckingham. Yes we do," said Amy. "Come and sit out here with us for a minute."
She took him onto the deck and we all sat round the timber table.
"You probably don't know this but Sam's a famous artist, and he wants to do some drawing. We would like to get a drawing pad and some big soft pencils and maybe a few sticks of charcoal and stuff. Can you do it?"
"I'm sure we can. If we don't have anything like that in the resort Jimmy could buy supplies for you in Kingston when he does the airport run later this morning."
"See, I told you he could get whatever you wanted," Amy said to me.
"Buckingham, are you interested in earning some extra money while we're here?" I asked.
He was not quick to answer this question. Working at the resort was probably a good job by Jamaican standards, and he wouldn't want to jeopardise that, but the Jamaican dollar was not a high-value currency, and he probably earned about half what a bus-boy at McDonalds would earn at home.
"It depends what you want me to do. The rules here are very strict about engaging in 'personal services' with any of the guests." The way he said the words 'per-son-al ser-vic-es' left no doubt at all what he was talking about. "That's completely forbidden, but you would be surprised how often I get that sort of offer."
"Oh no, I wouldn't be at all surprised," said Amy with a smile. I suspected that inwardly she was disappointed that Buckingham was making it clear from the beginning that fucking any of the guests was out of the question.
"It's up to you, and I don't know how they define 'personal services', but all we want you to do is model for me for a few hours while I draw you. Amy will model for me as well, and the standard rate is twenty-five dollars an hour. What do you say?"
"Jamaican dollars or US dollars?"
"Whichever you prefer."
"How about English pounds?" he said, not expecting me to say yes, but I knew that Amy was very keen to get Buckingham buck naked, so I thought 'what the hell', and nodded.
His eyes widened. I could tell that was extremely attractive to him.
"That's more than I make in a whole day. What's the catch?"
"It's not a catch, but you have to lose those board shorts."
"Model nude?"
"Of course."
"That's all?"
"Model nude for me, with Amy, that's all. Twenty-five pounds an hour. When can you do it?"
