I know many that read this story will get tired of hearing the word "love" being mentioned so much. Too bad. What we learned that it is possible to love more than one woman or man. No need to feel guilty or regretful. Plus, this was all done by consenting adults that encouraged our spouses to love others. The ironic thing about love: the more you give, the more it seems to come back to you. Giving seems to bring about more receiving.
As I walked out the door, Jim was walking down the hallway with his large luggage bag. I stopped him, put my arm around him, and thanked him again for loving my wife. That seems strange to say, but I was very sincere. Jim and Roger had both been so good to her as well as myself and she was a different person now.
I entered Dina's room and Roger was almost done packing. They had been talking some before I got there and I thought maybe I had walked in at a bad time. As I mentioned that to them, Dina came over to me and put her arms around my neck and gave me a slow, tongue filled kiss. "That's ok, Bob, nothing's wrong. In fact, Roger was telling me how much he loved Lisa and hoped I understood that he wanted much more of her when we got home. I informed him that you and I would be having more than our share of fun and Lisa and myself were very agreeable about it."
Roger hugged both Dina and myself as he left. He seemed a bit tired and was probably in need of a full night's sleep. In fact, we all needed a good sleep. I know I hadn't slept like I usually do. That's not a complaint, though. I enjoyed every minute with Lisa, Dina, and Jill. I didn't have to go back to work until Monday afternoon so I had plenty of time to catch up on sleep.
I told Dina of Jill's plans to get Roger to the hot tub with her. She wanted to wear her new bikini and was hoping the two of us would join her. I told her about Jill's willingness to flash if the time and mood was right.
Dina's face lit up. She couldn't believe her good friend Jill had come this far along. "I think we should invite Jim and Lisa as well, don't you?" Dina asked. " I bet Jim would love to see her like this "
She had a great point. Jim knew about the bikini but not about Jill's plans to be a show off. We clued in Lisa on the plans but asked her to keep it a secret from Jim until Jill surprises him.
Dina and myself were the first to go to the tubs. Surprisingly, they were both empty. We took the same tub we had been in the night before. Before any of the remainder of our party showed up, a middle aged couple walked in and joined us. We introduced ourselves to them and they told us their names were Paul and Alice from Fresno, about a 4 hour drive north from us.
Paul and Alice looked to be in their mid 50s or so. Paul was kind of short, about 5'6 with a full head of silver hair. He was barrel-chested with a full matt of silverish white chest hair. I thought of Lisa and her chest hair fetish. Paul had a little bit of a gut on him but his body frame carried it well. Alice was quite short. Maybe and even 5 feet tall. She had dark brown hair that would have probably fell almost to her hips but she had pulled it up and clipped it to the back of her head so the spa water wouldn't get it wet.
Alice was somewhat overweight. However, she still had on a modest two piece bathing suit. Her breasts didn't appear real large, maybe a large B cup and she had a few pounds on her tummy that showed and the very modest bikini bottom covered her large hips and lower region very well. She did have some very pleasant facial features. She seemed quite the extrovert and did more of the talking than Paul did.
Since we were on vacation and probably would never see this couple again, we openly shared with them our polyamory lifestyle. We explained that the rest of the group would be here shortly.
At a distance, 'I saw Jim and Lisa walk past the automatic doors and past the bar as they made their way towards the tubs. I was hoping Jill didn't back out. I could almost envision her nerves getting the best of her and going back to that old conservative one piece she preferred.
Jim and Lisa joined us and we introduced them to Paul and Alice. Not long after the introductions were completely, we see Roger and Jill. Jill had on her long terry cloth robe but she had no sooner walked up the steps that led to the hot tub, she removed her robe and revealed that brand new bikini I had bought her just earlier in the day.
Jim's eyes practically jumped out of his head. He made a suggestive comment and watched her closely as she descended the two steps that lowered her suit under the water.
I noticed that Paul as well had paid particular attention to Lisa when she joined us and I think his eyes got stuck on Jill's chest after her robe came off.
After further introductions, we just began talking about our cruise in general, our home lives, families, jobs, sports, and just about anything and everything.
Since we had been so open with Paul and Alice about our lifestyle, they shared with us that they were nudists. They belonged to a nudist club near Sacramento and made frequent trips to a beach about two hours from their home that allowed nude sunbathing. "So, you mean if there weren't rules about being nude in public on the ship, you two would be in here nude?" I asked. "Of course," replied Alice. "For us it's just the freedom of not having to wear clothes or to dress to impress anyone. We aren't necessarily exhibitionists, but we aren't ashamed of our bodies either. We were born naked so it must have been ok with God then, right?"
It was hard to argue with that logic. Lisa and myself knew a couple that were members of a nudist resort somewhere in the Corona area, but we figured it was like a huge swinger's club. Alice corrected my thinking.
She explained that while some swingers are nudists, not all nudists are swingers. Her and Paul got involved in some swinging activities several years ago but they stopped because these couples weren't really friends, they just wanted "fuck buddies".
