The next morning, after seeing Des and Ken off to work, I sorted out a moderately decent toga as a gift to my new friend, Kate. There was something about those two that intrigued me and made me want to get to know them better. She was a interesting lady, very similar to me in my previous sheltered existence. She was painfully shy, as I had been prior to meeting my beloved Cathy and changing my life for the better. It was clear that Kate wanted to emulate me. Fortunately her bisexuality was far more highly developed than mine had been in those days. I found her attractive and enjoyed her intimate touching and caresses enormously. I had now come to terms with and accepted my lesbian nature. I could never replace Cat as a preferred lover but Kate was closer to my own age. She was only a year older than me but had a lovely figure with firm nicely formed genitals. She had adapted well to the group sex situation at the Club.
I had found Lance intriguing rather than attractive, as a potential sex partner, but Cathy had told me that he was an expert lover. I was ready to let him penetrate me in any way that pleased him when the next opportunity arose. In our etiquette of group sex the ladies were always available to the men's needs but didn't approach the men for sex. It seemed archaic and unfair but it reinforced the male ego and I had always found it practical, reducing risk of unforeseen erectile problems in some men. Women seem more ready to adapt to anybody that pleases them once they lose their socially ingrained inhibitions. I wanted to spend more time at Angel Falls with them, getting to know the couple in a more conventional way.
"What about taking a camera this time?" Suggested Cat, as we were about to leave. "Maybe Des won't believe us if we have some fun along the way?"
"Take it by all means. Kent was very insistent that we not be late, though." I counselled. "We had better wear our dresses today."
"Can't we leave our togas in the trunk today?" Cat smiled mischievously. "Look at the fun we had last time?" She urged.
"Better not this time." I said firmly. "We haven't got time for any problems along the way. Kent will be furious if we get held up."
About half-way to our destination my wisdom was reinforced by a build-up of traffic. We came across a road accident and police were directing the traffic around the scene. The looked at Cat.
"Well!"
The look that I gave her made her cringe.
"Sorry darling. You were right!" She giggled.
We pulled up outside the tearooms and were surprised to see two large tour buses outside and people wandering around. I had wondered how the business supported staff, the last time we were here. Kate was busy serving food to a full house when we walked in. Lance beckoned us into the food preparation area.
"Hey! Good to see you. Come out back for a while, Barbara. Hi Cathy! This will all be over shortly." He smiled warmly as he guided us through the kitchen and into their private quarters. "I'll get you some tea if you like? Those two buses will be going in the next ten minutes or so." He explained. "A bit of a regular feature of our food business, I'm afraid. Here! Sit down and Kate will be with you shortly." He apologised. "I'll be with you as soon as I can." He left quickly.
I thought of all the attractions that we had visited in Queensland recently. Maple Lake could do with a main attraction to bring in the tour buses like this. I looked around at the view from their quarters and noticed a large selection of photos on the wall. They were very professionally taken and showed the attractions and amenities in the area. The falls were magnificent and most of them featured Kate, dressed in a well presented way and smiling happily. There were also two of Angela, their waitress. By contrast to Kate, she radiated confidence in the minimum of clothing. The was a topless photo of her, standing underneath the falls. By now it was obvious that she was more than just an employee. Cat moved over to take a look.
"Isn't she gorgeous? I'll have to get to know her." Cat cooed.
Kate came in carrying a tray and put it on the table.
"Sorry about the delay. I'll just leave this here and be back in a minute. We'll both be with you soon."
Lance brought out his private photo album and placed it in front of me, excusing himself to get Angela to tidy up the aftermath of the tour coaches. Kate showed us through the photos, pointing out the most recent images of her in the costume that I had given her.
"I still can't believe that I wore that at the club, Mistress." She blushed. "Lance says this is his best one yet." Turning the page.
The photo showed Kate in their lounge, demonstrating the position she sat in at the club, totally nude. "He insisted on that one, before we went to bed." She giggled. "Isn't it awful."
"Actually, its very good." I commented. Why don't you take a look at these." I reached into my handbag.
Lance had captured her mood that night to perfection. Confusion and shyness still showed in her face but she appeared to be more at ease. It was obvious that Lance's favourite hobby was photography. I pulled out pocket album of photos from Queensland that Des had taken. He returned as Kate was looking through them and joined us again. I empathised with Lance, noting the admiration is his eyes as he looked through our photos with Kate. I could fully understand his desire to help Kate overcome her shyness so that he could take similar ones of his wife.
We were still conversing and looking at photos when Angela knocked and entered the room.
"The next coach is due in an half an hour, Lance. Do you want me to put on another batch of scones?" She acknowledged us. "Sorry I'm in a rush. The next coach will be the last until later this afternoon." She explained. "Have you had a look at the falls yet?"
"We might go and look at them shortly." I replied, confused by her forward nature.
"These are friends of ours from Maple Lake, Angela." Lance introduced us properly. "Barbara owns the big conference centre that we told you about.--- Lakeside." He added. "Look! I'll help you with the next coach and we'll leave Kate to entertain Barbara and Cathy."
