I had suggested to Michael, my husband, that we needed a vacation. We needed to go somewhere with lots of sunshine and warmth, leaving the cold gray winter of the Midwest behind to enjoy some sun and fun. The last few months had been very chaotic with work taking up so much of our time. For those who haven't experienced going to work before sunrise and coming home after sunset, it takes a toll.
I began reading reviews of different resorts and decided on Secrets Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic. It is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort, that has beautiful beaches and a fun nightlife. I made the reservation for the last week of March, two months from now I would have my toes in the sand with sunshine bathing my body.
Toward the end of February Michael said he wasn't sure he would be able to go because he had an opportunity to land a huge client that would be the largest of his career and, if you would indulge me on this, that saying something. I of course being a loving and supportive wife said we could postpone our trip until the summer.
Michael knew how much I needed this trip and suggested that I go with my bestie Amanda. Amanda is single, never married, and a leader. I have watched how her peers value her opinion and go to her with their most difficult problems. I reached out to Amanda, knowing she hadn't planned a trip, I explained why Michael couldn't go and asked if she would like to come with me. Being my bestie, she knew how much I had been looking forward to this vacation, and she needed to get away too, so she gladly accepted.
Amanda is 10 years younger than me at 38 but I look to be about her age if not even slightly younger. For the last couple of months, I had been hitting the gym after work to relieve stress and get in bikini shape for the trip. At 5' 3" with light brown hair that gently sits just off my shoulders, a 36D chest, and a full round ass I was feeling good about myself.
Next up was a shopping trip with Amanda for our vacation. Shopping started with new sunglasses, then on to lightweight summer dresses, shoes, and finally bathing suits.
I had pulled some pretty bikinis that were very stylish but according to Amanda not "sexy" enough. I asked what that was supposed to mean and she handed me a couple she thought would look hot-n-sexy wearing. I held one up in front of me and said there is hardly anything here, I can't wear this.
Amanda said, "Tricia, you have the body for it, nobody will know us so let's let loose a little. I went into the dressing room and tried on the first bikini and said there was no way I could wear this; it was completely transparent leaving nothing and I mean nothing to the imagination.
Amanda knows me well enough to know this would be my reaction, which was why she had me try it on so the next, in comparison, would feel tame but was far from. The next bikini I tried on was yellow with the top exposing most of my breasts having only a small patch of material covering my areola, but when tied tightly had a lifting effect enhancing my cleavage. The bottom of the bikini was cut high on the hips exposing most of my ass while barely covering my pussy.
I must admit I felt very sexy in this bikini but told Amanda this was more outrageous than anything I had ever worn, she shrugged. I complemented this outrageous bikini with a nice sarong I could wear until sunning myself.
That evening, I modeled my purchases for Michael and his jaw dropped when he saw me in the bikini, he said I looked stunning. I told him about the first bikini Amanda had me try and he asked why I hadn't gotten it!?!
I said, "Michael, do you really want your wife parading around basically naked with you a thousand miles away?"
Michael's response, "Tricia, you work hard for your figure and have always had a bit of an exhibitionist streak, why not?" It's true, I do enjoy wearing tantalizing outfits and flirting but it is always with Michael nearby.
I asked, "Are you serious, you really want me to wear something that revealing?" Michael simply smiled and nodded in the affirmative.
My inner exhibitionist was instantly excited, and Michael could see it as my face turned a little red as he encouraged me to get it.
The day finally arrived and not a moment too soon, there was a cold rain falling as we arrived at the airport for our early morning flight. That all changed a few short hours later as we got off the plane seeing the bright sun above and feeling that warm hug you receive from the heat when arriving in such a beautiful exotic place. I put on my sunglasses and grabbed Amanda's hand as we walked to baggage claim telling her how much fun I knew we would have.
We arrived at Secrets shortly after check-in, got the key cards to our suite, and headed up to see the room. It had a beautiful view of the ocean and a large balcony that was furnished with plush cozy chairs, an end table, and a soaking tub. The bedroom had two queen beds and there was a beautiful bathroom and living room area.
We were more than ready for a drink and hungry, so we changed into one of our new lightweight summer dresses, cute sandals and headed down to the bar for a drink.
We picked the fresco bar because we wanted to be outside to enjoy the sunny weather as well as do a little people-watching. The fresco bar had seats on one side, and you could also swim up to the bar for a drink from the poolside. I was feeling so relaxed as I gazed upon some of the other guests and slowly sipped my drink, feeling its effect rather quickly, having not eaten for quite a long time. Amanda and I were commenting on the looks of some of our fellow resort guests, some very intriguing, while others had to work to do to get back in shape.
After a couple of drinks, I was starving with a nice buzz and we made our way to dinner. We enjoyed a great meal while talking about all the things we wanted to do which mostly consisted of sunning ourselves, having some drinks, and more people watching.
After dinner we headed to a bar that had live music and a nice dance floor, we settled into a table and ordered another round of drinks. Feeling loose and relaxed, we hit the dance floor soaking in the music and good vibes of being on vacation.
After a couple of songs, I had to use the ladies' room, I asked Amanda if she wanted to come but she said she would keep dancing enjoying some of the sights around her. On my way back I was looking down at something on my dress and bumped into an older distinguished man who had to be in his early 60's with salt and pepper hair, a bit of a dad bod but also an air of confidence.
