Parts 1 and 2 were posted in Loving Wives. The story is developing more into group sex-related activities, so I'll post the rest in that category.

Chapter 8
I woke to sunlight streaming in through the bedroom window directly onto my face. I tried to ignore it but it was far too bright, so I rolled over and buried my face between layers of pillows. That only forced me to re-breathe my stale, warm air, causing a wave of nausea and bile to rise in my throat. I flipped onto my back, covered my eyes with the pillows, leaving my nose and mouth free to breathe fresh air.
It was no use, though. I couldn't go back to sleep. I sat up and stared around the room. Sandy's naked ass poked out from beneath the bedcovers and pillows. I checked to make sure she was still breathing; She was. I climbed out of bed and stumbled, catching myself on the nightstand to keep from falling.
"Whoever designed a bedroom with angled floors should have been shot," I thought as the room spun around me.
I staggered into the bathroom and gaped at my reflection in the mirror. Dear God, who was this disheveled witch who stared back at me? Again, I felt the bile rising and leaned over the sink until the wave of nausea passed. I turned on the cold water and splashed it on my face. When that failed to stop the pounding between my ears, I abandoned the sink and made my way to the glass-enclosed shower stall. I turned on the water and waited until it was steaming hot before stepping in.
I stood within the cascading drizzle, unmoving, just letting it splash all over me. My head was spinning, and I couldn't remain upright, so I sat down on the tile floor, leaning against the wall. All I could think about was "Why, oh why did I drink so much?" A sudden spasm of nausea hit me, and I nearly vomited. Even though the water was as hot as it could go, I was shivering from a chill.
Thankfully, the hotel seemed to have an endless supply of hot water. After several minutes, the dizziness and nausea began to pass and the chill faded. Finally, I was able to stand up and actually clean myself. Slowly, I washed my hair and body, enjoying the feeling of returning to a more normal condition. Eventually, I rinsed and stepped out to dry off, then pulled on one of the luxuriously plush bathrobes the hotel provided.
I walked back into the bedroom and uncovered Sandy. As I looked down at her naked body, I remembered last night. I had finally dipped my toes into the lady pond. Hell, I think I plunged in head first, multiple times. "Was it the booze that made me do that?" I wondered as another wave of nausea rolled through me making me shudder.
"Oh shit, don't think about alcohol."
I sat down on the side of the bed next to my best friend and nudged her softly. "Sandy," I said gently. "Wake up."
There was no response, so I nudged her harder and spoke louder. "Sandy, wake up."
She fidgeted, trying to bury herself entirely under the pile of pillows. When she still didn't respond, I shook her shoulder and shouted, "Sandy! Wake up!"
"Fuck you," she retorted, groggily. "Wake me up when it's time to go."
"It is time to go," I said. "It's 11:30; our appointment is at 12:00." We had scheduled spa treatments and massages for noon thinking we would be up in plenty of time. Little did we know then that our asses would be dragging this poorly in the morning.
"I don't want to go," she replied, trying to cover her head with the pillows. "You go without me. I'll be here."
"No, hell you won't," I said, feigning anger. "Get your hungover ass up and into the shower."
She laid there ignoring me, pretending to have gone back to sleep. I looked around the room and spied Sandy's wide belt lying over the back of a chair. I picked it up and slapped it across her ass hard enough to make a loud crack and leave a red mark. Sandy jumped and grabbed her ass, crying out, "Owww! Fuck!" She glared at me, rubbing her tender ass cheek.
I swung the belt again and hit her other cheek equally as hard. She jumped back and spun around to get her ass out of striking range. "What the fuck!" she shouted. "Stop hitting me, you bitch!"
"Get up then!" I shouted, waving the belt. "Get your ass in the shower."
"Fuck you!" she snapped back at me in defiance.
Crack! I slapped her ass again.
"Fuck, Angie, stop it!" she cried out, jumping out of bed and onto her feet. I chased her into the bathroom with the belt, and into the open shower. I dropped the belt and my bathrobe and climbed in with her, turning the water on full blast. The cold spray hit us both and took our breath away for a moment before it warmed back up. Sandy leaned against the wall, clutching her glowing red ass cheeks, making soft whimpering sounds.
Sandy looked much worse than I felt. I put my arms around her and held her close, "You'll be ok, honey," I said as I kissed her cheek.
"Just let me crawl under a rock and die," she mumbled.
I laughed and proceeded to wash her. By the time I finished, she seemed fairly well recovered. "You going to survive?" I asked Sandy as I turned off the water.
"I may never drink again," she said, trying to laugh, but immediately regretting it as it made her head start to spin again. We dried off and made our way out to the living room. Sandy slipped into a pair of yoga pants and tube top, while I made us coffee. I left her to get some caffeine in her system as I went into the bedroom to put on a bikini and a see-through beach cover-up. When I came back out Sandy looked like a new woman.
"Coffee is a lifesaver," she said, smiling.
I nodded and retrieved my cup, taking a long drink, savoring the dark, nutty flavor and feeling the warmth spread inside me. My mind went back to last night. I watched Sandy as I thought again about what we had done. She stared at me and our eyes met. We both startled blushing, then giggling.
"Ok, well," she said, laughing, "we've crossed that bridge now."
"Several times," I added.
"Several delicious times," she corrected me.
I kissed her on the lips softly, then finished my coffee. "Come on," I told Sandy as I rinsed the cup in the little sink. "We're going to be late."
Chapter 9
We arrived at the check-in counter at the spa with only two minutes to spare. The girl that checked us in was polite. I think she could tell we were feeling pretty rough, but that did not stop her from offering us a glass of champagne while we waited.
Sandy groaned, but I actually thought some "hair of the dog" might do me some good, so I accepted the offer. When she handed it to me, the smell alone made my stomach flip-flop, and I felt a cold chill creep along my spine again. I fought through it and took a sip. It was horrible, but to my surprise, I almost immediately began to feel better.
A couple of minutes later, a woman wearing a peach colored smock and matching tights came out to collect us and led us inside to a room for our manicures, pedicures, and facials. I finished the glass of champagne, and someone immediately refilled it for me. By now, Sandy had gotten up the courage to join me, and soon she too was feeling human again.
We got our nails done and had a light massage, but the real fun started when we laid back, and they worked on our faces. I've always loved to be pampered, and the ladies at this spa were experts at it. The combination of the late night, the hangover, the relaxing treatment, and the champagne caused me to doze off. I think I actually slept for most of the facial, which was a bit of a waste. I needed it and felt so much better afterward, so I was happy anyway.
