I walked in the front door, a little earlier than usual. The shower was on upstairs, and turned off as I hooked my keys on the holder by the door. The shower was unusual this time of day, but hearing it, I knew what to expect. Another half hour or so of hair prep, then down to the Tiki Bar and the beach. I wondered what she'd be wearing today as I walked to the guest room to freshen up.
After a shower and a change of clothes from the laundry room, I strolled to the beach. I heard the hair dryer running in our room, so I knew she was still primping for the afternoon's excitement.
The Tiki Bar was relatively quiet this time of day, which is probably why she prefers it. The breeze off the water brought a hint of salt and seaweed, and the waves ebbed and flowed quietly against the sand. I stopped at the bar and waved to Alissa, our bartender. She caught my eye and raised her eyebrows in silent question.
Alissa has been with us three seasons now. She hails from Vancouver, and has become a staff regular, and certainly a favorite of ours. Her mixing skills are fast and refined, and during busy spells, she manages to keep everything moving smoothly without mistakes. In the early afternoon, Alissa was the only one on the clock. She split her time between waiting tables and tending bar, which wasn't overly demanding this time of day. On top of her bar-tending skills, her smoldering good looks maintain the attention of the visiting men, often to the dismay of their companions.
I smiled in response to her subtle query, and she broke into a playful smile. She knew the drill by now, and I swear, enjoyed it almost as much as I. After a few words to the young man she was attending, she grabbed a Negro Modelo from the fridge and brought it over.
"What's she wearing today?" she asked, mischief playing across her features.
"I'm not sure. She was out shopping last night and was a little mysterious about it when she came home."
Her eyes lifted from mine as she glanced over my shoulder, and her eyebrows shot up in surprise. She favored me with a huge smile and slipped away, returning her attention to the potential suitor at the other end of the bar.
I turned and saw Catherine gliding down the path toward the bar. She had really out done herself this time.
The sun played across the highlights in her blonde hair as the breeze washed it across her shoulders. The glow on her face was perfectly complimented by just a hint of makeup. Around her top, she wore a length of white silk, reminding me of a scarf. Lying behind her smooth neck, it crossed in front above her breasts, then snaked over them and presumably tied in the back. The bottom of her breasts were exposed in a kind of reverse-cleavage. The material strained slightly to contain the bounce as she walked, the outline of her nipples barely shadowed behind the white cloth. On her waist was tied a square of cloth doubled into a triangular shape. It looked like a light cotton material, mirroring the azure color of the water just off the beach. The cloth was knotted on one hip, and angled down across the front to hang in a point on the other side. It hung low on her waist, and barely hid what she'd be wearing underneath. Her natural beauty always struck at my heart, tugging at primal urges I didn't know existed. Even after years of marriage, my mouth went dry at her appearance, and my stomach fluttered in anticipation.
She saw me, and lit off one of her dazzling smiles. I don't know how, but I swear she knew I'd be there, even though I came home early. Maybe its a women's sixth sense about their man? Weaving between the tables, she passed me by and headed for Alissa at the other end of the bar.
Most people were out on the beach, leaving the tables in the bar area sparsely populated. The few couples huddling quietly around drinks couldn't help but notice as Cat walked by, interrupted conversations marking her passing with a wave of silence.
She reached the bar and leaned over toward Alissa, who had once again abandoned her customer. They exchanged high-fives as Alissa drank-in the outfit at close range. As Cat stretched to reach Alissa's ear, her makeshift skirt rode up a little, revealing the smooth curve of one magnificent cheek. She and Alissa whispered back and forth a few times, then Alissa slid over a tray and order-taking pad from under the counter.
Cat really liked to tend bar, but other obligations kept her away. When her schedule permits, she dresses appropriately, and joins the staff to serve customers. At first, I thought the staff might be upset at being upstaged. However, as owners, we don't accept any tips, so all of Cats' tips today would go to Alissa. Besides, I'm pretty sure Alissa enjoyed the show as much as everyone else.
As Cat walked toward the beach with her tray, Alissa caught my eye and gave me a thumbs-up sign along with her own dazzling smile. Yeah, she enjoys it too... definitely. I rose off the stool, un-tucked my shirt to cover my growing interest, and settled with my beer at an empty table closer to the beach.
We've owned the property for a number of years. We fell in love with this part of Mexico during frequent vacations, and decided to make it more permanent. Running a place like this was not all fun and games, but it certainly had its moments. Today was one of those. Business has been good, and the clientele had settled into a mix of new people and returning guests from up north. We treated our guests well, and they responded by visiting often, and recommending us to their friends. We catered to young and middle-age couples, but hosted an occasional beach party to bring out the young'uns for Alissa and her friends. Today it was all couples at the beach and bar, each lost in their own conversations.
Cat made the rounds of the occupied tables, flirting with the men and joking casually with the women. She had a way of putting both at ease despite her threatening good looks. She spent a few quality minutes at each table interacting with the customers. Without the pressure of actually earning a living at this, she was clearly having fun. Strangely enough, everyone ordered something, even if they had full glasses on the table.
Even more interesting was watching the people around her -- those not the object of her attention. The people she spoke to were too polite to stare, while those around her were not so constrained. At the adjoining tables and chairs, conversation waned, then stopped as she walked by. The men stared with obvious interest, and the women's face's crawled with attempted critique, then jealously. I watched as one dark-haired woman reached over and grabbed her companions' face and twisted it back in her direction. I read her stern expression and her lips saying: "I was talking to you!" Another young man pivoted to follow Cat as she walked by, spilling his companions' drink on the sand in the process. I heard a few sharp words from his companion as he wrapped a towel around his waist and visited Alissa for a replacement.
I couldn't disagree with the sensation she was causing. The breeze continued to ruffle her hair, and the slight chill off the water had its effect on her barely contained nipples, now clearly visible beneath her silk wrap. The same breeze wafted her bandana skirt up and down, providing delicious glimpses of her perfect ass. She looked every bit the part of a Sport's Illustrated swimsuit model at a photo shoot. I've explored every inch of her perfection, and had her in every way desired. Yet, the sight of her flitting between tables, laughing, giggling and flirting still raced my heart, elevated my blood pressure, and caused a raging hard-on in my shorts.
We had talked about her desire to flaunt her body, but she didn't think of it that way. She was a shy extrovert, an unusual combination. She dressed to bolster her confidence and garner the attention, but I knew she would never let it go too far. We had a strong relationship and neither of us wanted to risk messing that up. We are both fine with her exhibitionism streak. It's a win-win situation, as everyone enjoyed the raw sexuality she displayed as much as she enjoyed sharing it. That, and I knew she be whipped into a sexual frenzy and it would be my job to satisfy her.
Along the beach, we have cabanas setup for special guests. They back up to the bar building and face the ocean providing a little privacy. Today, it looked as if only a few were in use. Cat checked each in turn, and stopped in a few of them, moving out of sight for a few minutes at a time. She must have really enjoyed cabana number two, as I could hear her laughing even over the breeze and surf.
As usual, she took the orders over to Alissa, who swapped the orders for a tray of drinks. Cat leaned over the bar and again whispered words with Alissa, both of them smiling and giggling like school girls. Cat turned and smiled at me, then swayed to the beach to deliver drinks. I looked at Alissa with raised eyebrows, and she responded with a devious smile and held up two fingers: cabana number two.
I rose from the table returning my empty bottle to the bar.
Alissa grinned at me. "She's amazing, you're a lucky man!"
