Originally this was going to be written as a single piece but I felt it read better as two smaller segments.
I've placed both parts in the Loving Wives section as they relate to wife sharing which I know will attract the usual inane comments of cuckold trash and such like from those who feel they are the morality police.
My response to them is simply that I have left the ending open. There is an opportunity for a sequel to finish the story. If you feel that strongly about it then please, go ahead and write it!
As usual constructive comments are always welcome.
Please remember it is just a story. It isn't real.
Enjoy.

WHAT HAPPENS IN IBIZA....
The aircraft flew on towards its destination with just the occasional fluffy white cloud breaking up the vastness of the brilliant blue of the sky around it. Inside, in seat 8F, Vanessa Harper stared out of the window as the plane gradually descended over a vivid azure Mediterranean Sea.
Her ears popped with the change in pressure and she squeezed her husband's hand in excitement, the end of the relatively short flight rapidly approaching.
Looking slightly ahead and to the right she could make out the small spit of land that was the Spanish island of Ibiza. The place she was headed to for a week's holiday to celebrate her silver wedding anniversary.
"Well, we're nearly there." A male voice beside her said quietly.
She twisted around in her seat to smile at her husband Steve sitting next to her, her ears popping again as the aircraft lost more height.
Taking hold of her hand, he smiled back at her and continued, "Are you excited?"
He had arranged this trip as a surprise for her and he was looking forward to spending a relaxing, and hopefully sexy, week away from the stresses of his normal everyday life.
"Very. What's the airport called again?" She replied happily, clearly eager to start their holiday.
Her husband laughed, "It's Ibiza airport. I've told you at least a dozen times Vani."
"Oh yes." Vanessa giggled girlishly, "I forgot."
Gazing at his wife of 25 years Steve Harper could hardly believe how lucky he had been.
He was starting his third year at college and she was just an eighteen-year-old fresher when they had met. Vanessa had been a virgin then, naΓ―ve when it came to boys having only had a couple of fairly platonic boyfriends.
He had fallen for her almost immediately and although it took him a while to convince her to go on a date with him, he knew she was the only girl for him.
Even now she still had the air of teenage innocence about her that had first attracted him to her. However, that wasn't the only thing about her that hadn't changed in the years they had been together.
Her hair had stayed full and blonde, although now it needed a little help from the hairdresser from time to time. Hanging straight down to just past her shoulders it complimented her bright blue eyes that still sparkled with fun, just as they had so many years ago.
But it was her slender figure which, like her personality, showed the least change. After twenty-five years of happy marriage, she was a virtually unchanged 34B-25-35 and, despite a few lines around her eyes, she easily looked ten years younger than her actual age of forty-five.
Still a petite 5' 3" tall she had barely put on more than a few pounds despite having had two children; Kyle who was 21 and just starting out in a new job after leaving university and Scarlet who was 19 and in her first year at Exeter uni.
Thinking about Scarlet reminded him of the awful period, almost twenty years previously, when he had almost lost his wife.
Vanessa had haemorrhaged shortly after giving birth to their daughter and it had been a close-run thing for a while. After that their sex life had dwindled as the fear of her getting pregnant and it happening again hung over them.
It was only after he had had a vasectomy that they had, tentatively, resumed any sort of physical relationship.
Now with the menopause looming sexual intimacy had again declined to the point where they made love once a month if he was lucky. Not that he minded, he loved her, he always would.
"What are you staring at?" Vanessa interrupted her husband's musing.
"Just the woman I love." He grinned, his cheeks colouring slightly.
"Good." She leant across and kissed him on the cheek, "Make sure it stays that way."
Turning back to the window she watched the sea gradually getting closer as they descended, her ears popping for a third time, while the island grew a little bigger with each passing minute.
"Bing."
The seatbelt sign lit up in the panel above her head.
"Ladies and gentlemen. The captain has switched on the seatbelt sign for our landing in Ibiza. Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts. The toilets are no longer in use. Thank you."
Listening to the stewardess making her standard announcement she knew they were about to land.
"Clunk."
The wheels went down with a loud thud and, just a few minutes later, out of the window she saw solid ground rapidly appearing beneath them.
Nervously she clutched her husband's hand, anticipating the bump, which occurred just a few moments later when the aircraft touched down on Spanish soil.
It was the first time she had been here and gazing out of the window Vanessa took in every detail as they taxied towards the terminal building to disembark.
"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Ibiza. The local time is 1:25 in the afternoon. Please remain seated until the aircraft has come to a stop and the captain has switched off the seatbelt sign. Thank you."
Despite the announcement the click of belts being undone and the shuffle of people moving, collecting up their bags and getting ready to leave the plane, filled the air.
It was just a few minutes later, once the doors had been opened, that they were walking down the aircraft steps and into the afternoon heat of the Spanish sun.
After making their way through the normal chaos of airport immigration, baggage reclaim and customs the couple made their way out to the arrivals hall to locate the cab Steve had booked for them. They were staying outside of the main town, with its raucous nightlife of bars and clubs, at a hotel called the Paradise Sol.
It took a few minutes to locate their driver, who was waiting in the arrival hall with their names on his card, before handing over their bags and following him out to his car.
The thirty-minute drive took them out along the coast road and past several of the more crowded beaches until they eventually arrived at the Paradise Sol. All the while Vanessa gazed out of the window taking the scenery in.
Once they reached the hotel's reception desk it was clear that they were the only couple checking in. Because of that the procedure was completed quickly and, after obtaining their key, they made their way up to their room on the third floor.
"Well, this is very nice." Vanessa remarked as they opened the door and she stepped inside.
Their room was large, with an external wall dominated by sliding glass doors that led out onto a sizeable balcony. In the centre of the suite was a king-sized double bed while a wardrobe and sofa occupied the remaining space. By the entrance another door led off into a fairly sumptuous bathroom.
"Well, it's only 3 stars but yes, it is rather nice."
Steve lugged the cases in behind her and dumped them on the bed.
Vanessa wasn't really listening though.
She was already opening the sliding doors and stepping through them into the warmth of the afternoon to investigate their outside space.
"Come and look honey." She called to her husband as she peered over the edge at the hotel's pool below.
"Impressive."
Joining her outside Steve took in the gardens three storey's down.
The kidney shaped pool dominated the outside of the hotel. Surrounded with sunbeds spread amongst the palms and flower beds it appeared relatively empty with only a few guests enjoying the afternoon sun.
Across the far side was a poolside bar, with a row of stools at the counter and a scattering of tables and chairs around it.
"Shall we unpack or go and sunbathe for a bit?"
Vanessa asked imploringly, turning to him and hoping he would suggest they did the latter.
"I know what you want to do." He chuckled, "So, why don't you go downstairs and get us a couple of beds while I unpack the bags before coming to join you."
"Are you sure?" His wife said hesitantly, wanting to accept the offer but at the same time feeling she should stay and help.
"As long as you wear my present."
"Oh, and just what is it?"
Opening his suitcase Steve pulled out a parcel from inside and handed it to her.
Curious Vanessa took it and, opening the wrapping, extracted the contents, her eyes opening wide as she looked at what it contained.
"I... I can't wear this."
She gasped as she held up a tiny black bikini that comprised of three small triangles of material and some string.
"You can. You've got a great figure." Her husband told her.
"I'm 45 Steve, not 18. You can't expect me to go out in public in... in this. I'll be virtually naked."
"Please. I bought it for you especially for this trip." He pleaded.
She shook her head, "I... I'm sorry... I just can't."
The look of disappointment on his face made her feel guilty about rejecting his gift.
"Perhaps later in the week. When I've got a bit of a tan." She quickly added, happy to see him cheer up a little as she retrieved her normal conservative swimming costume from her case.
Disappearing into the bathroom Vanessa hurriedly did what she needed to and then got changed.
Stepping back into the room she smiled at her husband and picked up their towels as she made for the door.
"Are you sure you don't mind?"
"No, you go ahead. I won't be long."
"Ok I'll see you down by the pool in a bit then?"
"Save me a sunbed." He kissed her on the cheek.
