\ We were in a foreign town, by the beach. The sun was descending on a suntan afternoon when we walked into the villa-side bar, a mere few steps away from our poolside room.
You led the way to a table on the patio. Walking behind you, I admired the way you strutted to your seat. Even in sandals, with no one but me watching, you stepped like a model on the catwalk.
"You're not wearing anything underneath, are you?" I asked.
"Yes, I am," you replied.
"Show me."
I had hoped you might simply lift your skirt up playfully in the back on the way to the table, but you just sat down across from me and smiled.
"So, that's how it's going to be?" I charged. "Just a tease?"
You quickly crossed your legs, without even a glimpse, but gave me a cute little grin.
Behind me, a table of guys settled into their seats. I noticed you take a look over at them with interest.
"I'll be right back for your drink order," I overheard the waitress say to them. She spoke in English but her voice sounded Eastern European, maybe from Prague.
"C'mon," I asked again, regaining your attention. "Just a peek."
You tilted sideways and placed your purple purse on the ground in front of your chair. The strap to your yellow sundress slid off your shoulder.
Casually, you lifted a glass of water to your lips and took a sip. You pretended to read your menu.
"I see. Playing it coy, huh?" I responded.
"The patio's a little crowded, love," you finally said.
"Not that crowded. Just us."
"And them," you nodded.
I didn't look around, my gaze was still fixed on your adorable, clamped knees.
"Okay,.... Look!" I said, drawing your attention away from your menu.
My fly was open and my erect penis was in my hand. Your eyes widened with a spark of embarrassment. But I finally had captured your attention.
"Hmm-hmmm," you cleared your throat, warning me that someone was approaching.
The young waitress stepped beside us, giving me barely enough time to pull a white cloth napkin over my lap.
"Have you two decided what you want to eat?" she asked.
I laughed beneath my breath.
"No," you said, "I think we may need a minute." You rolled your eyes.
"Maybe a Tanqueray up, regular olives, and a Comso, with Absolut," I told her.
"No problem, coming right up," the girl said before turning on her heels and disappearing.
"Now?" I asked. I tasted my drink with one hand as I tucked away my member with the other.
"To answer your question, I am wearing something,..." you paused. "In fact, I'm wearing your favorite pair of panties."
"Really?! Lemme see."
Your eyes twinkled while you looked to see if anyone was watching then, quickly, you uncrossed your legs and gave me a tiny glimpse.
I saw a glimmering patch of violet silk between your thighs.
Then, just as quickly, you crossed your other leg over and it disappeared.
"Nice!" I said. "Quick but nice."
"What'd you expect?"
"Now I expect you to take them off."
"Here? Seriously?"
"Yeah, here,... seriously."
You took a drink, scanned the table of men behind me again, then reached briskly under your dress and pulled off your panties,... just like that. Quick as a ghost.
"Ta-dah!" you exclaimed with fanfare, behaving like I didn't believe you would do it.
"Well, that didn't take long," I said.
"You expected a slow strip tease?"
"Not really," I agreed. "I'll take whatever you give me."
I reached over, took your panties from your hand and stuffed them into my pocket.
You smiled.
Drinks came. We ordered oysters. Another round of drinks. Made each other laugh. Talked about imaginary things. But not another word about what we both knew was going on between your legs.
The table of men behind us spoke in French. They enjoyed each other's company, but it seemed more professional than casual. I glanced at them on my way to the restroom and again on my way back.
They were wearing suits and open collars. Younger but distinguished looking in their fine leather shoes and expensive watches. They were drinking a high priced bottle of vintage Rhone wine.
You were facing their table and I was certain they'd looked you over the whole time I was away from the table. When I sat back down, I wondered if you'd flirted back at them.
"Now what?" you asked.
"How about a threeway," I tested in a whisper.
My brash response jolted you.
"Yeah, right!" you retorted. "I don't think our waitress is that into you."
"Not the waitress," I said. "One of them."
I nod toward the table of guys.
"You're out of your mind!" you flush, your neck suddenly crimson with embarrassment,... or excitement.
"You know you want it," I continued.
"No, I don't," suddenly a flash of seriousness overcame your demeanor.
"Uhhh, yeah, you do. We've talked about it."
"Just a fantasy. That's just bedroom talk, not reality," you argued, then hedged a bit by adding, "besides, they're too young."
I pivoted in my chair and scanned the table again more obviously. The men were younger, maybe by ten years or so,... but they were still very much grown men.
I turned back to you and said, "Look at them. They're not too young."
I knew you knew this already.
"And, so, what exactly is the problem with enjoying a slightly younger, French man?" I tacked on.
You bit your lip, a tale-tell sign you actually were thinking about my proposal.
"That's a really bad idea. I don't think you mean it," you said, exposing your openness slightly more to the idea.
"Yeah, I do," I confirmed. "We're here, tonight's our last night, we're never coming back, you look amazing and,..." I leaned in toward you, "I've always wanted to do this with you."
Your mind raced. Your feet began to tap-tap-tap on the floor. Nervous energy bounced out.
"I tell you what," I continued. "Let's just start like this. Play a little game with me. Which of those boys do you find most appealing?"
You tilted your head down but fixed a steady gaze on the table of men, this time with more intent. Your brow furrowed with scrutiny. It was like watching a child try to pick one toy from a big box of toys.
"The dark-headed, dark-skinned one," you replied. Your voice dropped to a lower tone; it was like making a handshake on a deal for black market goods, under-the-table.
I knew which man you were talking about. He was strong, had a sun-kissed tan and green eyes. I'd guessed he'd be the one.
"Okay, can he see you?"
"Yes," you barely breathed. The air seemed thinner.
"Can he see your legs?"
You nodded your head.
"Then show them to him!"
When I said this, I knew you were instantly wet.
Impulsively, you pushed back slightly from the table and turned your chair even more in the man's direction.
The waitress walked by, but you weren't distracted. You were transfixed.
"Is he looking at you?" I asked.
You nodded.
"Show it to him."
We both knew what "it" was.
You fixed your gaze on me but pulled up the hem of your sundress a touch more and parted your legs.
I noticed that the table behind me went quiet. So quiet, I could hear the ocean in the background. And, all night, I hadn't noticed the sound of waves crashing into the beach until that very moment. It was as if nature itself was straining to catch a look up your skirt.
"More," I mouthed. "I can't see."
"I wasn't showing it to you!" you quietly joked.
You waited a beat then slid your sandals a few more inches apart.
