It was another scorching hot day on the pool deck. Jay and Beth sat under the large blue umbrellas' shade as the cruise ship cut through the Mediterranean. The pool shimmered in the sun and the ice melted in their drinks.
"I think those boys are staring at me," Beth said and motioned subtly with her head.
"Can you blame them?" Jay said. He ran his eyes up and down her body. She was wearing a floral print bikini that offered minimal coverage. Her typical wardrobe was a bit more modest, but the vacation was a chance to get rid of those pesky tanlines.
The bottoms were no different. The coverage in the front was enough to make sure her bikini wax was on display, but nothing exposed. Her ass practically swallowed the tiny string that ran up the backside and without a second glance you might think nothing was there at all.
Those boys are certainly getting an eyeful, Beth thought, Maybe she should cover up a bit more. But then again, in Europe this bikini might pass for normal.
The boys in the pool couldn't have been older than 21, maybe 22. They would wander by and toss what they thought were sneaky sideways glances at Beth. If they had been paying any attention they may have realized she hadn't flipped the page of her book in quite some time. She was enjoying the attention. Their gaze. Their wandering eyes. Who wouldn't? It's always good to know you still have it.
They weren't bad looking and maybe if she was a bit younger she could have seen herself flirting with them, but she wasn't sure that was in her anymore. Besides, with her husband right next to her it was hard to think about anyone else. He had on her favorite swimsuit. Dark blue trunks that were cut at just the places to show off his body.
Beth closed her eyes and let her book rest on her stomach for a few minutes. When she opened her eyes again the boys were staring at something else. A group of girls had come out to the pool in tiny bikinis.
She raised an eyebrow at them. They were practically naked. Actually one of them was naked. Her top was off anyway. The topless girl had tanned skin and dark hair. Greek? Italian? Turkish? Who knows. But Beth admired her body all the same. The girl's breasts were smaller than her own, but she put them on display proudly. She looked at the girl's dark nipples and thought about her own. Just the sight of another naked person was making her body flush with heat.
"What do you think about that?" Beth teased her husband. He shrugged.
"I don't hate it. It's ashame no one else is feeling as adventurous as she is. Maybe you should join her," Jay said. She swatted his arm with her book.
"You're a peeping tom."
Beth took another look at the girl across the pool. Maybe she should join her. It wasn't uncommon around here. And who cares? Everyone knows what boobs look like. It doesn't take much imagination to see a pair of tits does it?
"Fine. Help me out here." Beth rolled over on her stomach.
"Oh, jealous of the attention she's getting?" Jay said.
"No. I just don't want any tan lines." She didn't really care about the attention. She knew Jay might have a glance at the girl's tits. They were shapely, sure. But at the end of the day his heart belonged to her. The attention she was getting from the younger guys in the pool on the other hand did make her feel a small pang of jealousy.
She wasn't sure that Jay would let her do it, so when she felt his hands on her back pulling at the knot on her bikini her heart shot into her throat.
"I didn't think you'd actually let me do it," Beth said.
"You know I love to show you off," Jay responded.
It was true. He was the one that picked out her skimpy bikini. And she knew that he liked it when other guys checked her out. And occasionally they found themselves watching porn of couples having sex in public. He was an exhibitionist, for sure. Maybe she was too.
The bikini strings fell down and she felt Jay rub some sunscreen into her back.
"You're tense. Relax," Jay said. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage. Eventually he stopped and she rolled over. It was a rush as her nipples felt the fresh air. The girl from across the pool noticed and smiled and waved at her. Beth blushed.
"Her body's good. But yours is better. She knows it too," Jay said.
As people walked around the pool some stared and others glanced. Either way, she found herself getting a little aroused at the situation.
After a couple more drinks she realized she had to use the restroom. As she walked to the restroom she felt her breasts bounce ever so slightly. The eyes of the boys in the pool tracked their movement. She giggled to herself at their lack of subtlety.
She was about to walk back to her chair at the pool when the door to the bathroom opened. It was the girl from across the pool. She was shorter than Beth had realized and the girl's green bikini bottoms made her skin look even darker. They were a small triangle cut that revealed a good portion of the girls lower abs and left little to the imagination.
"Oh, excuse me," Beth said and stepped out of the way. The girl smiled at her and looked her up and down. Beth felt a little uncomfortable.
"Oh my god. I love your bikini," the girl said.
"Thanks, my husband picked it out actually."
"That's your husband over there? Wow you're so lucky."
"Haha, thanks. He's not half bad."
"No, I mean for real. He's hot. And look at you. I bet you guys have a lot of fun together." The girl winked.
"Oh, uh, I mean yeah he's --"
"I'm Maria by the way." She stuck out her hand.
"Beth."
"See you around, Beth."
When Beth got back to her chair at the pool she told Jay about her encounter in the bathroom. Jay smiled a big goofy smile. He apparently liked hearing compliments from attractive half naked women. Beth just rolled her eyes. After another 15 minutes at the pool they packed up their things and went upstairs to take a nap before going out to the steakhouse restaurant on the ship.
It was around 8:30 when they finally left their room. Beth put on a pair of lightweight jeans and a flowing tank top before looking in the mirror. After what she had done earlier in the afternoon, she decided she wanted to forego her normal cute look and do something sexy.
She tried on two more outfits before finally deciding on a navy dress that cut deep between her breasts and the hem stopped just short of her fingertips when she let her arms rest by her side. Jay had on a pair of jeans and a button down shirt that she had picked out for him. It made his arms and chest look great and she found herself wishing she hadn't just done her hair. A pre-dinner romp could have been a great appetizer.
The dinner itself was excellent. Not too filling, plenty of taste, and the drinks were strong enough to get a good buzz going before they went over to the nightclub to dance for the rest of the night.
After drinking some top shelf mojitos the couple found themselves sitting on the top deck at one of the slower late night bars. The view was beautiful and the music was slow and bassy.
Her buzz was slowly building and after a while Beth felt nature call. She stood up and excused herself to the restroom.
Beth headed for the restroom and when she came back Jay was sitting at a dark table in the corner with three of the boys from the pool. They were laughing and chatting about something.
"Am I interrupting something?" Beth said as she sat down in the empty seat next to her husband.
"No, no. The guys just sat down and were asking me for advice," Jay said.
"Yeah, we were wondering how he got such a hot wife," one of the guys said. Beth blushed. Compliments were always nice, even if they were from total strangers. After a night of drinking she could feel the heat in her cheeks as she squirmed from the spotlight.
"Thank you, that's sweet. But it's really all in his heart. You'll meet someone right for you," Beth said.
"No, not like that. We meant like, what do you do in bed to get a hot girl coming back for more?" another one of them asked.
"Oh, well. That's another story entirely. That's all about chemistry and liking the same things," Jay said.
"What sort of stuff does your wife like?"
"Uhh, well that's more of a personal private kind of thing," Jay managed and took another sip of his drink.
"Come on, man. Your wife is so hot, tell us at least one thing."
"Well, uhh, I guess if she's ok with it..." Jay looked at Beth. She could feel everyone's eyes on her. The pressure was on. She didn't want to ruin the fun so she just shrugged. They seemed like nice enough guys.
"You can't go wrong with oral. No woman alive would turn that down," Jay said.
"But isn't that like feminine? Isn't that a girl's job?"
"No way. It's a two way street," Jay said.
"What if it tastes bad?"
"I don't know. Beth always tastes amazing," Jay said which drew a gasp from Beth. The boys looked at her and smiled. Beth felt a rush of heat between her legs and suddenly her dress was rising up ever so slightly. Jay was running his hand up between her legs.
