Chapter 7: Reunited
As Zoe left the lobby, Clarissa looked over at Sandra and asked, "Do you want your clothes now? If you want, you can feel welcome to stay naked. You won't get cold. The resort ensures a perfectly comfortable temperature for guests and staff at all times, even when they are outside. Don't ask me how that works. It's way over my head. In any case, Heidi and I will show you to your cottage, if you're ready."
Sandra considered Clarissa's suggestion and idly reflected that she could, now, totally see herself walking around naked about the resort without shame. She had just brought her naked self to orgasm in front of several dozen young men and women, and felt only a thrill and a strange sense of accomplishment from having done that at the moment. Somehow, she had utter confidence that she had only brightened the lives of all of the people who had just observed her in person and on all of those huge TV screens. She really, really liked that feeling. She assumed, correctly, that everyone at the resort would only feel grateful if she walked around nude for the entire duration of her stay. The only motive she had for putting her dress back on was Eric.
As Sandra was considering these things, Clarissa went on to say, "I guess my advice would be to get dressed, at least for now. If you walk in naked to meet Eric, it might freak him out a bit. As you can imagine, just like you, he's had to deal with some strange experiences this morning. Usually, it's best for couples not to generate too much of a surprise in one another when we reunite them."
This stimulated Sandra to inquire, "So, are couples always kept separate like this when they arrive at the resort?"
Heidi chimed in, "Not always. Our procedures get tailored to the unique qualities of our guest couples. Not to mention, plenty of single people end up here, as well. Once in a while, people even end up here as members of a large group. Couples frequently do get introduced to the resort, separately, however. It's not so much a divide-and-conquer strategy as a way of simplifying. If you were thinking about what Eric was going through, it would make it much harder for you to get comfortable here. Similarly, if Eric were worrying about...well, you get what I mean. Very close couples, like you and Eric, are so sensitive to each other's feelings that it complicates getting you to settle in as individuals. It's one of the downsides of being unselfish with the people you care about, so it is a very common challenge for us. After all, the people who end up here are here because they are generous and caring in the first place."
Sandra was so fascinated that she had entirely forgotten that she was still sitting naked in between two mostly-nude goddesses. When Heidi had finished her explanation, Sandra blinked back at her, somewhat dazed by the thought and resources that must have gone into setting up this resort. Finally, she said, "That all makes perfect sense." She stood up and put her dress back on.
She stepped out of her sandals to make it easier to pull her panties back into position. After wiggling into her underwear, she put her shoes back on and turned to look alternately at Heidi and Clarissa. She said, "Ok, as much as I hate to ask. Please, put your uniforms back on. My walking up to Eric escorted by two naked girls would be almost as shocking for Eric as if I walked up without any clothes on, myself." Hearing this, Clarissa and Heidi flashed a knowing smirk at one another, but then obeyed Sandra's request and put their skirts and tops back on. Clarissa gestured for Heidi and Sandra to follow her toward the staircase at the far end of the lobby.
As they walked, Clarissa led them to the right of the bathroom doors behind the staircases to a door at the far right-hand side of the room. She opened the door and led them into a huge room that housed an indoor pool with a four large hottubs just a few feet from each corner. The room was completely empty, presumably because the weather outside was so warm, but Clarissa corrected this presumption by explaining, "This pool is only open in the late afternoon. If we came through here in the middle of the night, it would be jammed with staff and guests. It's one of peoples' favorite places to party at nighttime."
Clarissa led them around the pool and through a door on the opposite side of the room. The door led them outside to breath-taking gardens, complete with bronze statues of various nude men and women and elaborate concrete fountains, similarly adorned with statues of water-spouting naked people. A number of the bronze and concrete statues were dressed in the resort staff uniform and inspection of the full set of them would provide a fairly complete depiction of the categories of sexual interactions that it is possible for two people to engage in.
Amongst the statues were pathways flanked by flowerbeds, trees, and hedges. For the first time, Sandra could see that there actually were other guests at the resort. Several male and female guests about her age strolled around the gardens or sat on benches, either alone or in larger groupings, accompanied by one or more uniformed resort staff. Sandra recognized some of these staff members from her previous introduction.
Sandra, Clarissa and Heidi exchanged smiles and waves with guests and other staff members that they encountered as they navigated pathways to the far side of the gardens. Once at the other side, they stepped onto a broad, forest-flanked pathway and followed it for ten minutes or so, until it opened up at the centre of the row of cul-de-sacs that provided the location for the guest cottages. Clarissa led the trio off to the right and they shortly found themselves in the entryway of the cottage where Eric was seated at the dining room table, waiting patiently with Kira and Trixie. A plate of sandwiches, a bowl of salad, a pitcher of lemonade, and a carafe of coffee were waiting for them on the table. When Sandra saw Eric, he leaped up and the couple kissed and embraced in the archway between the living room and the dining room.
Eric said, "It's really nice that you're here! Look at the lunch that they've set up for us!"
Sandra responded, "It all looks fantastic. I hope you've had as fun a morning as I have, baby. I can't wait to tell you all about it. But, first, I'm starving."
After Eric and Sandra separated, Kira and Trixie introduced themselves to Sandra, while Clarissa and Heidi introduced themselves to Eric. In all cases, the women applied the resort's uniquely affectionate style of greeting; a prolonged, full-bodied, bear hug, accompanied with warm verbal expressions of welcome, such as, "We're so glad you came" and "It's such a pleasure to meet you, finally." Afterwards, the six of them sat down for a very pleasant lunch, in which the conversation centered on a good-natured discussion about how not traumatized the events of the morning had made Eric and Sandra.
Not able to hold out for long before describing what had happened to him, Eric told Sandra about the strange effects of the coffee Kira had given him. In any other context, Sandra might have been offended by Kira's prank in stimulating Eric's arousal, but in this one she only found the story hilarious. She almost choked on her lemonade from laughing so hard. She laughed all the harder, as Eric continued by describing Carly's actions and antics in the theatre, although she expressed some concern about the girl's tumble and injury.
Heidi chuckled, informing Sandra, "As I understand it, that is Carly's patented trick. The injury is real, but she has a certain knack for ensuring that her fall always gets her in a sensitive, but not too sensitive, area. She knows that it is the easiest way to get a male guest's hands between her legs. I love her. She's so funny and so cute." The other three staff members nodded their heads in enthusiastic agreement.
Eric then went on to tell Sandra about his exploration of the cottage and some of its contents, as well as his finding the Kira and Trixie channel on TV as he was trying to distract himself from masturbating. He told her about the book he found on the bedside table and how he masturbated to one of the stories, only to discover, to his horror, that Kira and Trixie were watching him, too. That part of the story sent Sandra into an uncontrollable giggle-fit, during which she begged him to stop, before she gave herself a hernia. Sandra's reaction allowed Eric to appreciate more fully the humour in his situation, which sent him laughing as well. Soon, all six of them were in tears from laughter.
After several minutes, Sandra remarked, "You girls are so sexy, but also very brilliant. How can Eric be shy about anything here now, now that he knows that you two have watched him masturbating? It's a pretty arousing image, though, isn't it, girls?" In unison, Kira and Trixie both blushed slightly and nodded, as they bit their lower lip. The two of them were the picture of naughty vixens, with just the very smallest hint of remorse about the impurity of their characters. Sandra considered whether there was anything those girls were incapable of convincing a heterosexual man to do. She thought that there probably wasn't much of anything they wouldn't be able to convince HER to do, for that matter.
Kira spoke up, "I appreciate the compliment, Sandra, but it's really the resort as a team that makes us so skilled at, well, loosening up our guests. We can't take all the credit."
That reminded Sandra to tell Eric, "Oh, yes, did you know that the staff here can read our minds? You can see how much easier that will make things for us. If we need a blow dryer or something, we just have to think it."
Eric laughed. Then, he directed the focus away from his morning to Sandra's, by asking, "So, what happened to you, Sandy?"
Sandra described Zoe and the effects of the tea. She told him about the documents and their magical image generation abilities. Eric wasn't laughing as she spoke. Instead, he sat speechless, fascinated, and could feel himself getting aroused. This arousal only intensified as Sandra explained how Clarissa and Heidi had convinced her to go through the documents with them. At that point, Sandra stopped.
She said, cautiously, "Do you want to talk about the rest in private or can I describe this in front of these women? Actually, on second thought, I think that at least one of them must be present with us, so I don't know if it makes sense to make three of them leave..."
Eric reassured her, "I'm not worried about what happened, Sandy. I know you, and I know that the scenario you've described up to now would have made you nervous, but would have also been a dream come true for you. I mean, look at these women. They are like one of your fantasies brought to life. I can't wait to find out what happened next, but I bet I can guess. You got so turned on by showing them those pictures, you couldn't resist at least kissing them, if not more."
"Great, now you can read minds now, too?" Sandra asked, jokingly. "Yep, that's pretty much what happened next, but you won't be able to predict what came after that."
Sandra went on to discuss how, after a brief back-and-forth, she told Clarissa and Heidi to strip down to their panties. Well, they also had garters, and stockings, but somehow those items made them seem even more naked. She described how she got introduced, one by one, to so many members of the resort staff, and how the group proceeded to honor her for her charitable and professional accomplishments.
Eric said, "Hmm, I didn't get welcomed by nearly as many people, did I?"
Kira touched his hand and looked mock-condescendingly into his eyes. She said, "Sweetie, you must know that a woman like Sandra will require a lot more to make her comfortable and welcome than it will to make a man comfortable. A woman needs stronger doses of love so that she knows that she can trust unfamiliar men and women; even super hot ones. You'll regret it if I hear anything that seems like a complaint from you. You better work with us to make Sandra comfortable and happy. Your own enjoyment here depends on it."
Eric nodded, apologetically.
"I like her a lot, Eric," Sandra said, smiling mischievously.
