Day 3
Lying there by the pool, soaking up the mid-morning sunshine. I'm on holiday with Adam, my partner of three years and his parents at their villa in the Algarve in Portugal. It's August and it's hot; too hot to go far and I'm quite content to stay right here.
Adam is over there reading. I can see him as I squint into the reflective sunlight. Sparks seem to fly off the water. Silence. Jane and Graham are comatose, soaking up the sun like carcinophilic vultures.
I didn't notice Adam disappear indoors.
'Won't someone come and do my back?' I complained plaintively, yes, childishly.
Graham must have heard me. I felt an unaccustomed hand touch my back. I felt the sun-cream pour over me and he began to spread it, working it fully into me. Moving down my back. I lay still, silent. I knew it was Adam's father.
He rolled my bikini bottom down by about an inch. I wondered: 'God, what's he doing?' I was just lying there, motionless. He stopped.
'Just making sure there's no burn on the seam, Jill.'
That's me. Jill.

After lunch I swam in the pool. Adam joined me, followed by his parents. Fun, splash around. Adam dried me. I went back to my book.
Graham and Adam are wearing very brief costumes which clearly show the bulges of their packages. Adam's is bigger, I note with misplaced pride. I notice Jane has remained topless after drying herself when she left the pool. She's lying on her stomach though, for now. I can't see her breasts. I suppose I am curious, yes. I know they are quite big and certainly well bronzed.
Adam is chatting to her. I sometimes think I'm invisible. He comes over.
'Fancy a shower?'
I think: 'You want more than a shower, so no.'
I say: 'No thanks, I'm fine. You go.'
Fact is, I'm off sex. I don't know why. I'm just not getting, you know, lit up these days. I'd like to. One time I'd have jumped at Adam's offer. That's what it was: an invitation for a fuck and I turned him down. Routine, it's all a bit routine. Apart from Jane. She might move the applecart. Can't see her actually upsetting it.
Evening at a bar: German bloody lager. Bored again. Only interest is that Graham has been checking his e-mails. Younger son is now definitely coming. Flight lands tomorrow 5 a.m. With friend unnamed and unsexed, apparently. Interest stirs but I'm too tired. Maybe it is the heat. I'm drained and I know I'm not being nice. I feel foul. Ashamed a bit, too. Try harder tomorrow.
Went to bed at ten. Left them chatting by the pool again. God it's all so damn repetitive. Lotus eaters the lot of them

Day 4
Lying there by the pool, soaking up the early-morning sunshine. They've gone off prima luce to the airport to fetch John and pal. ''Misery guts' [me] decided to stay here. I'm topless: thought I'd try it whilst I'm on my own. It feels nice; free. I can shake my tits about and feel the warmth on them. Mmmmm. Yes, it's ok. Might take the lot off for a bit.
I do. Fully stripped - never done it before outside. Even in the heat the air is cool on my skin. That's nice too. Really natural although it doesn't all look too brilliant. White bits. Need to improve there. I'm fair skinned and don't tan that well anyway. Feels quite sexy. I can touch myself a little so easily too. That's good.
I swim. That's really loose. The water flows so smooth. I am of the water now not merely in it . I look at myself and that's good. I feel more like I used to. I want to look nice now. The desire is coming back, I think.
Out of the water. Dry myself off. Back in our bedroom. 'Our' as if it was the site of our bedroom activity. No. God I'm horrid. Adam must hate me: I haven't let him shag me for weeks. I ought to. I know: he hasn't done anything wrong. Better if he did. If he wasn't so damn nice! I think of Graham's hands on my back: perhaps he'll do that again today.
Back to the bedroom. I put on a new bikini Adam insisted I buy. It's so brief I have to trim some hair that protrudes at the top of my thighs. I take extra care with my wavy red hair and make-up. The bikini feels incredibly tiny. I actually feel sexy again.
Sound of a vehicle. Probably the taxi with all five of them inside. Horn sounds. Who do they think I am? The maid? No, I'm making an effort, remember!
'Sorry,' calls Graham as I open the front door. 'Have you any cash to pay the driver, Jill?'
'Sure, Graham, give us just one tick!'
There that sounded better didn't it? I ran [yes, ran] and came back with the dosh. I handed it to Graham.
'Use that, dad,' I said with a big smile. Dad! Really, perhaps that was over the top. I was going to seduce them all, then. It would be more fun than sulking anyway.
Adam came round the front end of the taxi, before the others were able to clamber out. Five people and the luggage in this small Honda Jazz had been a bit tricky, I gathered.
'You look amazing, Jill' Adam said.
'Thanks,' I said and kissed him briefly on the lips. He looked pleased and kept looking at me. Perhaps invisibility was my own fault.
John was helping his friend from the car. I was the last to realise exactly what sort of friend he had brought with him. I had only met John briefly before and didn't really know him either, but his friend was a beautiful Asian girl [from Singapore, I learnt later]. Small but with a lovely figure, I guessed, from what her tightly-fitting blouse and trousers revealed.
'Hi, Jill. Bet you don't really remember me, I'm John and this is Anna: Anna, Jill.'
I recall we shook hands, all three of us.
'You look fantastic, Jill,' said John.
Now I did feel better. Perhaps the applecart might lose the odd wheel yet. They began to lug cases to their room. Clearly they were sleeping together. I picked one up and carried it over for them.
Adam dug me in the ribs. 'Where did the real Jill come from?' he asked.
'Found her this morning,' I retorted.
Then softly: 'Sorry, Adam, I am trying.'
'I'm glad you put it on,' he said.
'How would you feel if I went topless later?' I asked.
'You know I'd love you to.'
'Just checking now that the others are here.'
He smiled and went back to get the last things from the taxi. The driver was clearly keen to be on his way. Fare's fair.
*********
Heat of the day. Anna and John are relaxing by the pool. All six of us. Anna in one piece black. Looks fabulous. Low cut at the back. Jane sunning herself on her back topless. She got up to bring cold drinks round. Told me how nice I looked today. Breasts swinging in my face. I offered to help.
'Thanks, Jill. Could you refill the ice cube thing in the fridge? Otherwise I'm sure we'll run out now we are six.'
Now we are six! Sounds like a kids' book from school. But I jumped up and went inside, tossing my hair sexily at Graham and Adam who were both watching me. John too. The pale blue skimpy bikini was having the right effect on them too. I felt pleased to have cast off my black humor at last.
I went to our bedroom and unfastened the bikini top, throwing it on the bed. If Adam didn't mind then I certainly didn't. A more even tan, if I could achieve just a light tan without burning, would be nice to go back to work with.
I fixed the ice.
Strolled back to my towel and spread it on the concrete, not on the sun lounger. Lay down on my back.
'You need protection on there too, Jill,' called Jane.
'Right,' I answered. I understood why she had said 'too.' Adam was applying sun-block to his mother's back.
Hesitantly I called: 'Graham.' I waved a hand at him. He came straight across. Turned on my stomach. Was I too daring?
'I can do my own front,' I said with a grin.
Nice feel as his firm hands worked on me again. It was a massage as well, really. Down my back, between my shoulders. I wanted him to touch my bikini bottoms again; move them aside or something. I was actually excited. You know: turned on. A bit wet, I expect.
Graham shocked me: pulled my bikini bottoms right down off my ass. No fuss. I felt eyes watching. He did my cheeks and top of my legs but didn't push down too far. Dead erotic but not invasive. God, I wanted cock for the first time in weeks. He pulled them carefully back up and continued down my legs. Finished up with a gentle pat on my bum.
'You're done,' he said.
'Thanks, dad.' Wish I was done though. Adam watching through his dark sunglasses. Can't tell his reaction. Want him to touch me. Desperate. Anna has disappeared.
I doze, on my back again. On view and enjoying it.
*********
Anna is walking slowly back to her lounger. Topless. Minimal string bikini bottom. Lovely firm breasts and no sign of a tan line. Used to it. She's just been weighing things up. Sensible girl. In control.
I sit up. 'Swim, Adam?'
'Sure.'
We both dive in from opposite ends of the small villa pool. Meet in the middle. Adam grabs and pulls me to him. I feel down into his costume. He is rigid.
'Where've you been all this time?' he mutters in my ear as he holds me. He is standing on the pool bottom holding me suspended in the water, his hand supporting me there under my crutch.
'Fuck me afterwards,' I whisper in reply. 'I want you.' As I finish a huge splash to my left and then to the right. John and Anna swim around us. I feel a hand pull down on my bikini bottom and a hand grope inwards trying to touch my cunt lips. It's John. I push away and escape. Leaving myself naked in the water. My costume floats to the surface.
