Divora had settled into my sleeping compartment, lying on her back in the adjacent berth, knees up and thighs akimbo. She was waiting for the surprise she had promised me.
She was comfortable and relaxed in my company. We had clicked on many levels. I lay facing her in my berth. It was hot in this confined area and she had stripped down to her underwear , I to my boxers boxers. I looked at her knickers, old fashioned big white briefs, sensible wear for a girl on her travels, able to soak up secretions and absorb smells. The crotch looked to be stained, not surprising as she had worn them for the best part of three days. Her arms rested under her head, displaying her hairy armpits, mirroring her pubic area that I had briefly glimpsed in our toilet adventure.
Our conversation in the restaurant car revealed that she had logged many and varied sexual encounters in her twenty two years. Her considerable IQ and robust scepticism had enabled her to avoid exploitation by either gender, though I could sense that she retained a core innocence that was her ultimate defence.
Entering my double berth compartment, she had stored her bag in the spacious cupboard over the door and inspected the tiny wet room arrangement that offered a small toilet opening onto the rails below, a miniscule sink and a shower head attached to the bulkhead above it. She told me she was going back to the restaurant for wine and a surprise gift.
I lay on my berth and promptly fell into a doze. A knock on the door an hour later heralded her return, clutching four bottles of red wine.
The surprise came ten minutes later , Divora jumping off her berth to answer a diffident knock. In came the youth we had encountered earlier, followed by the girl accompanying him, obviously not his sister. They stored their packs and stripped off to their underwear at Divora's suggestion.
He was a well made boy of nearly nineteen, though looking way younger. She was twenty, two notches below Divora's slimness and one away from anorexia, thin flat bum and scrawny thighs balanced by counterintuitively meaty, uptilted breasts. She had lank blonde hair, at odds with the dark pubic curl escaping her loose fitting panties as she sat next to me , hugging her knees to her chest. Klaus and Anna were their names.
