I slowly came to consciousness the next morning. I was lying on my side and Jacquie, yes she'd stayed the night, was still asleep, lying on her back. My head was on her shoulder, my right arm was draped over her tummy.
---------------------------
The day before, after we'd showered, where I'd introduced her to the delights of a power shower with a pulse mode setting, I'd suggested we make more coffee and head out to the garden. Having dried each other we walked out of the bathroom and Jacquie went to walk across the hall to my bedroom.
"What do you need from there, hun?" I asked.
With her lovely soft North East accent she replied, "Well, I'll need my skirt, pet."
I took her hand. "Why? There's only you and me here. Be free for the day."
She looked at me, her face a little worried. "But... what if someone sees us in your garden?"
"They won't. I'm not overlooked. I have a hot tub and nobody's ever seen me when I use it. Come on hun. It'll be fun to spend the day naked. The weather is glorious. Let's make the most of it."
She didn't look too convinced but put on a smile and said, "Okay pet. But I don't promise I won't put something on if I'm too self conscious."
I left that comment alone. We could discuss her insecurities at another time. I led her out to the deck once more and picked up the cafetiere and cups. I made more coffee and took it all back out to find Jacquie sitting there with a cushion on her lap.
I set the stuff down and sat next to her. I smiled and kissed her softly, she returned the kiss with genuine feeling and I went to take the cushion off her. She pulled back and broke the kiss.
"I'm... I don't know. I'm a little shy. I know it makes no sense. Sorry."
"Why shy? I think I've seen most of you already, hun."
"Yeah, I know pet, but... I'm very self-conscious of my tummy, my bum, my..."
I stopped her with a brief kiss. "You have a very sexy body, you're just not used to thinking of it, or even looking at it, in the right way."
She was genuinely intrigued. "How do you mean?"
I had a thought. "Come with me."
I took her through to the bedroom and opened one of my wardrobe's looking for a particular dress. I got it out and said, "Let's put this on you?"
She took a look at it and said, "You're allowing me to not be naked? That's quite a close fitting dress and really short by the look of it. I can't carry that off, pet."
I smiled. "Hun you don't have to ask permission. If you want to be dressed you can. If you want me to be dressed, I will be, but I'd rather stay naked if that's okay? No, this is for another reason. Come on, let's put it on."
It's a pale green, form fitting, sleeveless dress that comes to about mid thigh. The colour wasn't exactly right for her, but that wasn't the point. It's made of a stretchy material that also shapes and contours.
She allowed me to help her with it, pulling it over her head and then adjusting and smoothing. Once I was satisfied I said, "Now, the problem most people have is that they don't look in the right way. You stand in front of a mirror without thinking how others might see you. What's sexiest about you is your profile."
I opened the cupboard with the full length mirror and said, "Now, stand sideways on and look at yourself and tell me what you see?"
The dress did have a slight smoothing effect on her belly but not a ridiculous amount. That would be uncomfortable.
She did as I asked and said, "I see my belly and my fat arse."
I giggled. I stood on her opposite side from the mirror and put one hand just below her breasts and the other on the middle of her back. I then slowly stroked down both hands, following her contours.
"I see a beautiful set of curves, hun. Push your bum out a tiny bit... right. See how your back and tummy flow smoothly together. Your bum isn't enormous, it's sexily shaped."
"You... you think I look good?"
"I think you look amazing."
She smiled. "Okay, pet. You win. I'll be naked with you."
As I helped her remove the dress she said, "I like what that dress did for my shape. Maybe I should get myself a corset or something?"
I waggled my eyebrows. "Mmm. I love the idea. Maybe get one with a built in suspender belt and wear stockings too?"
"God. I haven't worn stockings in years. I'll have to shave my legs properly." She took a deep breath and added. "I'll do it. For you."
I placed a soft kiss on her lips, which she returned with passion as I let the dress drop on the bed.
"Do it only if
you
want, hun, but I'd love to see it. With your colouring either go white, black or... maybe a violet colour?"
We walked back through to the deck and finally drank our coffee and nibbled on cookies. Jacquie didn't pick up the cushion and we just basked in the sunshine and chatted amiably. She finally seemed to be comfortable with being naked, at least with me.
We spent the afternoon just being together.
She finally said, "I suppose I should get dressed and head home. I need to eat some dinner."
I kissed her and said, "I can always fix something to eat, hun. You're welcome to stay the night if you like."
Her face lit up but she said, "That sounds lovely but I don't want to put you to any trouble, pet."
"Don't be silly," I replied, "It's as easy to make dinner for two as it is for one. Please? I'd love for you to stay."
She'd relented and I'd fixed us a light meal. I'd set the hot tub to fill before we ate and once we'd finished we walked back out and climbed in. I switched the bubbles on and I told Jacquie to move over one of the outlets, which I also did. I love the feeling of the bubbles of air between my legs and I watched as Jacquie felt the warm rush against her pussy.
"Oh my. Will this thing make me come, pet?"
I smiled. "If you let it, yes."
We leaned against each other and kissed deeply. As the bubbles worked their magic I took one of her nipples in my fingers and slowly stroked and squeezed. I felt her fingers mirror me and after several minutes she broke the kiss and called out.
"Oh fuck. Fuck. I'm so close."
