Monica didn't even argue when I spurned her offer of my thong. She just put it back in her beach bag with a troubled expression on her face.
"I'll just put my dress back on when I get back to the car. Thanks anyway." I was quite dry now and I combed my hair and adjusted my waist chain. I walked nonchalantly along the beach and up to the car park chatting to the others and enjoying the surprised looks from the other people around us. Jim walked right beside me, not ashamed to be seen in my company while Monica trailed behind us with a few of the others.
I walked back to the Mustang with Monica in the company of the other members of the surfing group and put on my dress while the surfers formed a circle around me as I buttoned up my dress. There was probably no need, as everybody at the beach had already seen me naked all afternoon and there had been no objections at all but I still appreciated the thought. Monica discretely changed in the toilet block and I was still talking with the others when she re-emerged, fully dressed and ready to go. We made arrangements for our lunch the next day and Jim, who was the last to leave, waved as we took off. Monica noticed that Jim had been reluctant to let us go and was silent for a while.
"You seem to have made quite an impression on that young chap." She still looked sombre and thoughtful. I do believe that Monica was actually a little bit jealous. I reached over and kissed her.
"Don't worry darling. I still love you. Nothing will ever change that. He is quite a hunk though, isn't he?" I smiled brightly as Monica nodded thoughtfully. It wasn't till we were nearly back at the apartment that Monica brightened up and got back to her normal self.
She had come around slowly at first, eagerly discussing the photos that she had taken and reminiscing the day's events with me. She was starting to realise that most people these days were not as offended or critical of my behaviour as she had imagined. She told me that the day had been full of surprises from her point of view and grudgingly admitted that she had thoroughly enjoyed the company of the others in the group. We had stopped at a family restaurant along the way and enjoyed a pleasant meal together, our first real chance to reconcile our relationship and discuss our aims for the future. Monica was twenty-six and had enjoyed her share of romances with the opposite sex. She admitted that recently she was more comfortable in sexual relationships with other women. I explained that I liked men but wasn't ready to settle down with any one man, telling her all about my relationship with Nana. It brought us toward a more complete understanding of each other's feelings for one and other. I began to tell her about my experience at the tattoo parlour but she wanted to save that story until all our flatmates were together.
"Sally would never forgive me." She laughed lightly for the first time since we left the beach. "I'd be really unpopular with them. Carla and Cynthia have the night off tomorrow and Sally and Sheryl are looking forward to an evening at home." She thought for a moment. "Have you got any--[Hesitating}-- toys?" She looked at me with a wicked gleam in her eyes.
I hugged her and smiled.
"Only my little friends on my body," Referring to my clit ring. "Probably the best present I ever gave myself. You really should try it darling. It only hurts a tiny bit at first and then, Mmmm, it's wonderful. When we get back out to the car I'll show you what I mean." This broke the ice and we hurried back to the car as soon as we finished our meal, ready for a bout of lovemaking as soon as we got home. Monica had abandoned her cool attitude toward me and was back to her carefree cheeky self with a vengeance. I was glad.
It was around seven in the morning when Monica woke me and dreamily I looked up at her. The evidence of our passionate lovemaking session lay all around the room. It had been a warm night and the bedclothes lay on the floor where they had been abandoned during the night. We had enjoyed having the apartment to ourselves during most of the early part of the evening. Sally and Cynthia had invited us to go to a movie with them but we had excused ourselves, claiming that we were both tired after a long day at the beach.
The moment they left our activities had started in the bathroom and quickly progressed toward the bedroom. Monica had allowed me to remove the heart shaped tuft of coarse hair that decorated her pubes after I begged her to try the clean shaven look. Reluctant at first, the excitement of having me lather her up and then carefully shave the entire area between her legs had triggered an explosion of passion within her. We took turns at massaging one and other with scented oil, probing and stimulating every area of our bodies. Monica had started on me, first spreading an old sheet over my bed and rubbing my shoulders as she gently guided me onto the bed so that she could sit astride me on the cheeks of my bottom. The sensation of her newly shaven and slippery vagina rubbing against the cheeks of my bottom as her strong fingers worked their way down my back relaxed and excited me at the same time. By the time she reached the small of my back I was moaning with pleasure and opening up my legs as the warm oil began to trickle between the cheeks of my bottom. Monica worked her fingertips downward, following the oil and caressing the tiny bud of my anal opening. I raised my hips, pushing back at her probing fingers in anticipation of the delights ahead. I began to shiver with the onset of orgasm when she plunged her hand between my legs and trace her fingers backward, sensuously parting my vaginal lips and opening me up to her probing. Unexpectedly, she bypassed my engorged clitoris and when her thumb reached my anus she worked it inward. The most intense orgasm overtook the control I had exercised up until then and I convulsed with pleasure, tightening my sphincter muscles around the base of her thumb while the tip of her forefinger penetrated my inner labia. Monica collapsed on top of me, holding me tightly as I convulsed in her arms. Our bodies were both slippery and smooth but her hard nipples pressed into my back as we enjoyed the moment, intensifying our newly found love for one and other. We had many such moments, such as that, during the course of the evening.
We experimented with almost the full range of sex toys that Monica kept hidden in a locked drawer beside her bed until we lay, exhausted and sexually drained in each others arms. Anal beads, double dildos and vibrating toys of every description had been packed hygienically away from view. I had been amazed at the variety of flavoured oils and gels, designed to increase the pleasures of oral stimulation during sex play. Monica had spent a small fortune on the contents of her drawer. The delicious memories of our night of passion came flooding back to me as I lay there, semi-awake, with Monica tenderly endeavouring to awaken me fully.
Monica was standing before me, totally naked, smiling gently as I rubbed my eyes and focussed on the day ahead. Her newly shaven vagina was within reach and I buried my head in her crotch and traced my tongue through her inner lips. The remnants of the strawberry flavouring still prevailed and she tasted sweet and smooth. I pulled at her hips, trying to encourage her back into bed.
"I wish we could my love. We have to tidy up our room and get ready for work." She reluctantly pulled back, surprising me with her resolve. "Believe me, I wish we could stay here all day."
Monica looked in the mirror as she picked up some items off the floor and saw the glow, as I did, that emanated from her body. I was happy that she was now less inhibited to remain nude in my presence. She looked far better to me that way and it had upset me when she had covered her body after our first night together as lovers. She sensed that I enjoyed her nudity in my presence and she was making an effort to please me this morning as she moved around the room with less of her false modesty in evidence. I struggled to my feet and began to help her tidy up the room. By the time we were ready for our shower the room was once again tidy and the beds were both made up and presentable. Monica put on her robe, throwing me a towel and letting herself out into the living room. The apartment was quiet and I followed her into the bathroom.
