Ann had known Kari for half-dozen years. They met when their daughters started attending the two-year-old Sunday School class. Now, six years later, Ann and Kari taught the Third Grade Girl’s Sunday School class together.
Although Ann was ten years older than Kari, Ann and Kari had become good if not close friends over the years. The previous fall, when Ann had been promoted to Director of Finance at her non-profit about the same time that her husband, Ted, had become VP of Engineering at his firm, they had invited Kari and her husband, Bob, to the joint celebration party.
This weekend Ann and Kari were shepherding their 12 third-grade charges at a church camp retreat. Friday was an elementary school holiday so the group had arrived at camp in time for lunch and a hike through the hills around the camp. The fresh air and exercise had done in the girls and they were asleep shortly after lights out.
Ann and Kari had retreated to the Counselor’s Cabin and their shared bedroom. To mutual amusement, they discovered that each had brought a bottle of wine for each night of the retreat. Ann popped a cork as they both began to get ready for bed.
Ann showered first, changing into her standard long tee and panties. Kari went in to shower when Ann came out. Ann was enjoying her second glass of wine when she heard Kari return.
As Kari approached the other bed, Ann looked up from her book. She was momentarily stunned. Kari was wearing a long yellow silk nightgown. The slit up one leg of the gown revealed enough tanned (already/still in April?) leg and hip that Ann knew that Kari was probably wearing nothing underneath. The waist was elasticized but the bust was full. The gown was backless with wide shoulder straps. Ann saw this as Kari bent over to pull down the bed covers. As Kari stood momentarily before sitting down, the light behind her made the gown translucent and Ann could appreciate both slender well-formed legs.
If the sight of Kari standing in front of the light had transfixed Ann, Kari sitting was even more revealing. As she swung her legs onto the bed, the slit in the skirt was towards Ann. If any more leg had been showing, Ann was sure that Kari would have demonstrated the difference between Adam and Eve. The light was now profiling Kari. Ann could see Kari’s breasts and nipples as if the gown were transparent.
“What are you reading?”
The sound of Kari’s voice snapped Ann out of her appreciation of her roommate’s form. Ann whipped her eyes up to Kari’s face, feeling guilty for looking at her friend that way.
“White Noise by DeLillo,” Ann replied.
“You read a lot of modern fiction?” Kari asked.
It turned out that they both read a lot of fiction. Of course Oprah’s book of the month was a must for both of them. But they also had read a surprising number of the same books from other current writers. They discussed everything from Carmac McCarthy’s symbolism to Proulx’s philosophy of life. The conversation was lively and continued until they finished the bottle of wine.
“My husband thinks I’m foolish for reading all these books,” Kari commented as she finished the last drops in her glass.
“Kari, how can it be foolish to exercise your mind like this,” Ann replied. “Even though Ted doesn’t read a lot of fiction, he always is interested in what I’m reading. He says it stimulates him just to listen to me talk about my current book.”
“Not much of what I do stimulates Bob,” Kari stated bitterly.
“Kari, I can’t believe that,” Ann said. “A smart, beautiful woman like you with your bright, good-mannered children? You’ve got a lot to stimulate Bob with.”
Kari stood up and stepped over to Ann’s bed. “Thanks for being a good friend,” she said as she leaned over and put her arms around Ann to hug her. “Good night.”
When Kari had moved towards Ann’s bed, Ann had been treated to another shot of Kari’s form back lighted from the lamp on the other side of Kari’s bed. Then when Kari had given Ann a hug, two pairs of nipples had rubbed briefly before their breasts had mashed together. When Kari sat back down on her bed and swung her legs up, Ann had gotten a flash of golden curls behind the slit skirt. To top it all off when Kari leaned across the bed to switch off the far lamp, her two smooth cheeks had inadvertently mooned Ann through the shifting slit.
Ann quickly switched off her light. She felt a flush and arousal from the sights and touches that she had just experienced. She had experienced the delights of woman-to-woman lovemaking before, but then she had been seduced. A younger woman had enticed her and she had surrendered. This time she was the one feeling lust toward another woman. She couldn’t allow herself to follow through with her friend and certainly not on a church retreat.

Saturday morning found both women scurrying around in their undies, as they got ready. Kari noticed Ann staring at her nipples, which were partially visible through the lacy bra that she wore. The second time that Kari caught Ann staring, Kari felt her nipples erect. She had not had a woman look at her nipples since PE her freshman year in college. Kari felt a blush spread across her cheeks as her nipples began to tent the soft material. She turned quickly to the mirror and began applying her lipstick. Glancing in the mirror at her friend, she could tell that Ann was now looking at the globes of her ass, which were exposed by her T-backed panties. Kari also checked out Ann. She saw the outline of her friend’s nipples and areolas through the thin sports bra that she had donned. Kari could see the red curls of Ann’s bush behind the semi-transparent nylon panties. Kari’s blush deepened as she forced her attention back to her lipstick. Kari hadn’t looked so closely at a female since her senior year in high school.
When Kari looked for Ann again, she could see her hurriedly tucking in her blouse as she exited the room. “I’ll go check on the Girly Dozen. Meet you in the camp mess hall,” Ann called as she almost ran out of the room.
The camp staff had planned the activities for the day. Play-acting a Bible story in the morning was followed by crafts after lunch and some vigorous games in the late afternoon. Again the girls were tired out and went down easily. 9:30 found Kari and Ann back in their room opening a bottle of wine.
This time Kari showered first. As soon as Kari came out Ann went in to shower. Kari was in bed and modestly covered when Ann came back out.
This night’s conversation flitted around various topics from church activities to college high jinks. The two tongues got looser as a second bottle of wine was opened. The discussion moved to how old were you when you first did it and into raunchier areas.
“Where was the riskiest place you ever did it,” Kari asked.
“One night at Six Flags Ted and I were in the last car on the roller coaster. I managed to give him a blowjob before the ride finished. What about you?”
“My sophomore year in college my boyfriend came to visit me after Christmas through New Year’s. My parents put him in the guest bedroom. One night while watching TV I claimed a headache and went to my room. I took off my clothes and put on a robe. I waited until I heard my boyfriend go to the bathroom. I followed him in and hopped up on the sink offering him everything.” Kari changed the subject again. “Now, as an old married woman how often do you make it?”
