Melissa lay on her towel. The sun was hot, though there was a little breeze that tempered it. Melissa felt herself soaking up the warmth. She wore only a pair of dark sunglasses. Her breasts stood up, defying gravity as always. Her belly was flat, her nude mons rounded, her arms by her sides.
She was on a small beach away from the main building. There were mangroves on either side, making this beach more isolated than the beach around the lagoon itself. It was Melissa's favorite place.
As was often the case when she was here, she was thinking. And, as was often the case, she was trying to sort out her own complicated feelings.
She was still a little sore from her experience the day before. Nearly four hours of continuous fucking was no small thing. At least to Melissa. Lisel seemed to revel in it and Melissa was sure she could have kept going if everyone else had not worn out. Lisel was more enthusiastic about sex than anyone she had ever known.
For Melissa, the experience was more complicated. She had certainly had many orgasms. More than she could count, really. She had no objection to sucking on penises, or clits for that matter. Having cocks in her vagina felt good, and even cocks in her ass, at least after the she was able to accommodate them, was not objectionable. She had actually become able to climax from anal fucking alone.
What troubled her was the extent to which she felt like an object. She knew from the beginning that she was to be a plaything. A toy. And her experience in the last nearly ten months had been quite consistent with that. She had been passive while others used her sexually. Someone would put her in a position, and she stayed there. Someone would fuck her and she would get fucked. Last night seemed different. She was just not certain how.
In some ways, being naked is the perfect disguise. She could be anyone. She could be a saint. She could be an ax murderer. No one saw beyond her body. Tits and ass. Who she is was hidden. No one knew her at all. She had found that level of anonymity comfortable. Now, it seemed like she was not just invisible, but was, in fact, vanishing.

Melissa had awakened late this morning. Lisel had already gotten up and was combing her hair. Lisel was happy and did not seem nearly as sore as Melissa was.
"You are awake. Good. The plane comes."
Melissa stood, blinking and rubbing her eyes. Lisel walked over to her and hugged her. Again, their naked bodies together felt good, though Melissa had no interest in sex this morning. Lisel did not make any attempt to press it further, but instead stood aside and gestured to the bathroom.
Melissa felt a little better after she had used the toilet. She brushed her teeth and her hair before she went back into the bedroom. Lisel handed her a bagel and juice, which she ate sitting on the side of the bed. When you are naked all the time, it did not take a lot to get ready.
There was a knock at the door and Lisel answered it a crack, had a few words, and turned to Melissa to say that the plane was here. She took one of the silk robes and put it on Melissa, then leaned down and kissed her on the mouth. It was a serious kiss.
"I will see you again. You are very nice. We will have another party."
She paused, then asked, "Do you work for Mr. Dorn, too?"
Lisel responded, "Oh, no. I belong to Mr. Thantos."
Melissa wasn't sure why she had asked, exactly, so had little idea what to say next. She also wasn't sure what Lisel meant by "belong to Mr. Thantos." She just said, "You are very nice, too. Thank you for your help."
She paused, hugged Lisel again quickly, and then walked down the hallway to the pier where Rick and his plane were waiting. She greeted him, but made no offer to blow him. He did not seem disappointed, but simply said, "Hey there cowgirl! You look a little tired. We'll get you back to the Lagoon in a little bit and you can rest up."
He turned to get in the plane and Melissa followed him. They had not been in the air long before she was again asleep.
She just said, "Thanks" to Rick when they arrived and went inside. She was afraid there was a client that she would have to attend to, so it was with some apprehension, but she went in just the same. There was a guy sitting at the counter in the kitchen, drinking coffee. Ron greeted her then introduced her.
"Hey, girl! Glad to have you back. This is Mitchel. Mitchel, this is Melissa. Melissa, we are going to go out in the boat a little, see if we can catch a fish or two."
Mitchel said "Very nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you."
"Nice to meet you, too."
Mitchel smiled and said "I look forward to spending a little time with you later."
Ron said, "Mitchel, excuse us for a minute. I'll be right back."
Ron walked down the hall and Melissa followed him. They went to a seating area in the living room and sat there.
"I wanted to tell you that you did great last night. You were very well received. Mr. Dorn was quite happy with you. He wanted me to tell you he put $20,000 in your account. Also, each of the people there put in some money. They always do, that is kind of the deal. Dorn is not always so generous, though. Anyway, there were 27 people there plus Dorn, and your account is, like, $36,000 more today than it was yesterday. That's one hell of a days work!. So added to your regular salary and the tips you have gotten so far, you are close to $200,000. Something like $172,000 and change. That's in less than a year. Anyway, thought you would be pleased to hear it. You are doing great.
"We're going to go out for a few hours looking for snapper. I don't know if we'll find any. You know where everything is. If you need me, use the satellite phone. I'll see you in a few hours. Okay?"
Melissa was relieved that she would have time to herself, and said, "I'm good. I'll be fine."
Rick walked off, and in maybe ten minutes she heard the boat start up and begin to leave the lagoon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now Melissa was lying on the sand, engaged in what appeared to be her favorite pastime, wondering what the fuck she was doing. She was surprised to hear how much money was in her account. Mr. Dorn had been very generous and that was a surprise, but all the people there had to have given a lot of money, too; $16,000, apparently. It also surprised her to know how much there had been in the account anyway, before last night. She really had not had any idea what the account looked like. That meant that she had made $136,000 in almost ten months. In nine weeks she would have been there a year. Her salary for that time would have been $43,000, so the rest, $93,000, was in tips. Plus the money she had made yesterday.
Even with that, though, she was conflicted. Even for $36,000, it felt like last night had cost her a lot. Mr. Dorn had talked about her innocence. Maybe she was losing that. She felt like she was disappearing, somehow. She had known for a while that she did not really know who she was, but instead of developing a better sense of who she was, she felt like she knew less than she ever did.
She had no sense of agency. Things happened to her. She just let them do so. She was a spectator in her own life.
More than that, though, was the fact that she was not connected to anyone. She had felt close to Sandi, which upon reflection, was the only person she was close to at all in the last six years. She thought she was close to Roger, but it became clear that was illusory. She felt like a fool for caring about him. That relationship set her up for the role she was in now in more ways than one.
