After a paradise day skiing, the hot tub was a fitting complement. Pulling off her fashionable ski gear, Dani stretched her trim body in front of the floor to ceiling window. A transparent reflection of her naked body was superimposed on the scene of sparkling snow and jagged mountains. She slipped into a green bikini.
Dani poured herself a glass of chilled chardonnay and brought the bottle to the condo's community hot tub. It was a late April Wednesday. Most people had ended their ski season. Combined with the surprise snowstorm the day before, the complex was almost deserted.
Appreciating the privacy, Dani took a deep drink of wine, turned on the water jets and stepped into the tub. It was just at the edge of scalding. The first few seconds her skin tingled. Then, she adapted and relaxed into the bubbling warmth. Her legs floated and her tired muscles unwound. Sipping the wine, Dani lazily eyed the slopes through the rising steam and relived the day's best runs.
Ten minutes later, her head was propped against the padded side of the spa and her eyes were closed. She listened to classic rock drift from a nearby balcony. Life was good.
"May I join you?" Dani stiffened in surprise. She hadn't heard anyone approach. Above and behind her stood a woman about her age, who she hadn't seen before.
"I'm sorry I startled you." the woman said in voice tinged with a European accent.
"No, no problem. I was just daydreaming. Come on in, the water's great. My name is Dani."
"I'm Colleen." she answered with a brilliant smile.
She wore a white robe and had a curly crown of red hair. Walking to the other side of the hot tub, her back was to Dani. She kicked off her sandals, removed the robe and dropped it on a lounge. When she did, it revealed her nude and curvy body. Unabashed, she stepped to the edge of the tub and dipped her toe. "Owww, that is piping!" she trilled in a high pitched voice.
While the facility was not clothing optional, Dani didn't feel compelled to say anything. Colleen had large pink areoles and the cool air made her nipples stiffen. Her pubic hair was a thick mass of dark red and had been trimmed into an inverted triangle. Trying to maintain casual eye contact, Dani said, "It only stings for a bit. Best to plunge in."
Colleen gave a small shrug, then hurried down the steps and completely submerged into the steaming cauldron. When she surfaced, she let out a squeal, pulled both hands back through her hair, and drifted to the opposite side. Settling onto the bench, she kept her chin barely above the water. This relaxed position let her breasts, knees and toes intermittently float up into the mist like breaching whales, then sink back into the cauldron.
Dani tried to avert her gaze from the casually exposed flesh, but her peripheral vision kept being drawn. Between the warmth, the wine and the attractive body of her companion, she felt a drift into sexual arousal. Her left hand moved between her thighs. She was sure it was concealed by the bubbles and steam, yet tried to make her movements subtle. She pressed against the slick material of the bikini bottom and her eyes fluttered with a zing of pleasure.
