Thanks to Todger 65 for the edit.
Maria came down to the kitchen, yawning. Lynn was in the shower. Maria had checked in on Charlotte. The empty room didn't surprise her.
I see she didn't make breakfast,
she noticed.
The summer morning was quiet.
Real creepy. I wonder if it was a mistake to come here? So, start breakfast or look for Charlotte?
Maria was okay at making food but Lynn's cooking approached virtuosity.
She always got the highest grades in home ec. Thank God Charlotte didn't try anything.
Charlotte got the low end of the trio.
Great at yoga, terrible at cooking,
Maria shuddered, remembering the last,
and only time,
Charlotte was put in charge of dinner.
She should be easy to find. She's at the lake.
Charlotte loved to swim. She would have tried out for the swim team, back in high school, if not for her curvy body. Still, the coach, to her credit, suggested Charlotte was more suited for distance swimming than competitive. The girls discussed the idea and they flirted with it but then Charlotte's career took off, and Maria made Miss June and later Playmate of the Year; priorities change.
Dwelling on the memory decided Maria, and gave her an idea.
She might like it. Maybe we can talk before I decide it's a bad one.
She debated whether to go upstairs and put on a T-shirt and shorts but decided,
Screw that. There's no one around but us girls, and it's nothing they haven't seen before.
The morning was warm so Maria felt comfortable in her gray cotton bra and panties.
It'd be fun if someone were watching,
she smiled.
Maria was always the most adventurous and exhibitionist of the trio. She'd relished stealing the boys away from the blondes back in high school; revenge for the brutal teasing of junior high and, in part, reveling in her sexual power. Modeling came easy for her. Her body comfort made shedding clothes a cinch.
Her frank views and open sensuality sometimes made the other girls uncomfortable, but provided an energy helping her as the host of a popular cable TV show, and equally welcome on the talk show circuit. Just a few days before the vacation, a famous sex therapist approached her about creating, perhaps, the female equivalent to
The Man Show.
Maria was open to the idea and so were the producers.
She mused on this development while walking towards the lake.
To think there was a time I thought I'd never get far with this body.
In hindsight she thought it was a good thing, as that belief encouraged her to rely on her brains. Once her body shaped into the voluptuousness she now enjoyed, she found both her brains and beauty useful for advancement.
Her musings were broken once she reached the pier and saw Charlotte.
There she is. Hmmm, was she skinny dipping?
Maria cocked an eyebrow.
Charlotte was sitting, nude, at the end of the pier. Her hair was wet and slick, her skin shone with moisture.
"Just got out, huh?" Maria said.
Charlotte turned, her face blank and emotionless, for a moment, "Oh! Uh, yeah. This lake was too tempting. So where's Lynn?"
"Back at the house, I suppose. I decided not to make breakfast. She's better at it."
"Yes, she is," Charlotte giggled.
"So how's the water?"
"Terrific. I'm going to take another swim, in fact. Care to join me?"
"Hmmm, I don't know. My bikini's still packed."
"Does it look like I care about swimsuits? And c'mon, you're supposed to be the adventurous one."
"Got a point," Maria laughed. Her bra and panties were on the deck a second later. "Wait a sec while I stretch."
Charlotte stood by, smiling, as Maria flexed her voluptuous body. Maria matched her friend in olive skin tone and dark hair but, of the three, sported the curviest body. Her breasts were the largest, her bubble ass the bubbliest, and her hips the widest.
Child bearers,
Charlotte thought, and a strange shudder went up her spine.
Maria finished her calisthenics and, feeling sufficiently limber, said, "I'm ready."
"Okay, let's swim to the middle. I want to show you something."
"What?" Maria started but Charlotte dove into the lake before she finished. Maria quickly followed.
Charlotte's got a secret?
Charlotte, the better swimmer, reached the middle of the lake first. Maria swam up and they tread water for several minutes.
"Well?" Maria asked.
