There were four people on the boat: my wife, my two male friends, and me. The friends, Jake and Andre, had been friends with me in college, but I hadn't seen them for years. When we met at the airport, it was clear that they both were quite taken with Julia, my wife. After we boarded for our weeklong cruise through the British Virgin Islands it was also clear neither one of them was going to be able to take their eyes off of Julia's lovely bottom, especially as it was framed in that very brief, and very sexy bikini she wore so loosely around the deck of the boat.
The boat was ours, the Lady Princess, and it was forty feet long and a ketch with two masts and a small outboard motor for auxiliary power. We were headed to Virgin Gorda and planned to anchor off 'The Baths' and then spend the week sailing around the islands, Anagada Reef, St. John Island, Norman's Island, and then back to St. Thomas.
When we're cruising Julia will often lay out nude on the bow, but I was not sure with guys on board how she would feel about it. We had been out for about an hour when she took off her top and I thought the guys were going to fall overboard. They could not keep their eyes off her and you've never seen two more attentive and polite guys around a half naked lady on a forty foot ketch.
Before we got to Virgin Gorda, Julia dropped all formality and stepped out of her bottoms and stretched out on a towel on the bow. Jake and Andre kept looking towards the bow and finding reasons to go forward to "tend the lines" or find something they needed on the foredeck. Finally, I said if she felt comfortable enough to go nude in front of them they shouldn't worry about looking.
I cannot adequately explain how much pleasure it gave me to see my wife strolling naked around the boat: flirting, laughing, smiling her way through the day in the Caribbean sun, pleasuring my friends, making the trip a memorable one, and doling out her affection to them equally. It was a lovely sight and it thrilled me to the core.
"She is allowing you to see her, so be my guest and enjoy," I said. "She doesn't mind being admired, obviously, so take a good look and enjoy yourselves, savor the sight of her. She is a beautiful woman and she is naked in front of three men, let her show you what she wants you to enjoy. She does have a great body, am I right?" I said. Both nodded sheepishly and looked toward the bow and where she stretched out for their perusal. . "When we get to the Baths, a lot of people will be swimming nude there, so drop your trunks and join her, if you'd like."
They looked at me like I had just ask them to dine for free at a top Michelin restaurant, for a week. "She is a beautiful woman," Jake said and Andre nodded his agreement.
That night in bed she told me she liked my friends. "You made their day, maybe their year, when you dropped your suit today," I said.
"They did seem to be panting like puppies on a hot day," she said with grin. "They're both married, right?" she asked.
I said, "Andre is, Jake was, but isn't anymore. But both guys are pretty highly sexed," I said. "You will be lucky to finish this cruise without one or both of them coming on to you," I said.
"And?" she said, remembering the summer before when another couple came with us and some swinging occurred.
"And you are over twenty-one," I said. "Feel free to do what you want to do. If you like them, then enjoy them. It is up to you," I said. "You have them all sexed up with the sunning naked thing today, so enjoy yourself." She looked at me for a long time, then she smiled, thinking about her options. I told her I remembered her time with Beau the previous summer, a man who came aboard on an anchorage off St. Croix and ended up spending the night with Julia in the guest cabin. She smiled at the memory and kissed me, kind of a salute to the captain who had given him permission to 'come aboard.'
"Beau was a nice man," she cooed.
"And a man gifted in the male department, if I remember right," I said. Her smile said she remembered as well. We had skinny dipped after he stayed the night with us and limp he was probably close to eight inches. It had been the first time she had taken a lover, besides the swinging cruise with Carly and Jess. Before we went on the cruise we talked about opening up our marriage, about having sex with others. She had been enthusiastic about the possibility, and had said she was willing and eager to take some steps to make things happen. We had been married for ten years when we talked about opening things up and perhaps swinging.
