Chapter 17

Their summer beach holiday had hardly begun. Day two, and Maya was already loving how her professional life was fading from her awareness. Since work was no longer demanding her attention, she intended to spend time reflecting on her most recent sexy experiences while soaking up the sun. Eric headed off back to the villa, carrying the remains of their picnic lunch, Maya closed her eyes and let herself go floppy. It felt too good to last and it didn’t.

“Mummy, Mummy, Mummy!” The twins were back from their exploration of the beach. She rolled over and opened her eyes, struggling to see her daughters through the glare.

“Mummy, this is our new friend and she is called Susan and she is from London, and that is in England,” Jasmin announced proudly in English. No change there. The girls never took long to make new friends. Maya sat up to say hello. She blinked. To be faced with an unknown little girl with no clothes on came as something of a surprise. That there should be three naked little girls, two of them her twin daughters, was definitely a shock.

“Silly Sophie thought that a lot of people must have forgotten their swimsuits at home,” Jasmin said, rolling her eyes at her sister’s faux-pas.

“But that was before Susan told us that this beach is specially for people who don’t wear swimsuits,” Sophie butted in, tossing her head in disdain at such a poor attempt at a sisterly put-down. “Besides, Susan says it saves on the washing for her mummy.”

Jasmin, catching her mother’s surprised expression, quickly added: “And Sophie and I thought you would like it if we were helpful to you and daddy.”

“That’s very thoughtful of you,” Maya said. “You’ll have to be careful you don’t burn, though. Lots of sun cream. I can see that Susan is used to it,” she added, taking in that Susan was evenly tanned all over.

“Susan’s mum and dad don’t wear swimsuits,” Jasmin declared, “so why do you and daddy?”

“Because...” Maya began, then ran out of words.

“My mum and dad are both fat.” Susan chipped in. “You would look much nicer than them without your swimsuit.”

“Go on, Mummy!” Jasmin urged her. “It will be a surprise for Daddy when he gets back.”

Maya couldn’t think of a reason to resist, especially as she’d been considering stripping off, just to experience how it felt to be nude in public. Since her recent adventures, sexual thoughts were appearing in her mind far more often than before. She unclipped the top of her simple black bikini.

“There you are! I told you!” Sophie said to Susan.

“Susan didn’t believe us that you had a special decoration,” Jasmin explained.

“Doesn’t that hurt?” Susan asked, staring at Maya’s pierced nipple. Maya judged that Susan must be a little older than the twins, with the beginnings of breasts just starting to show.

She smiled. “No,” she said, “but it’s not something to think about until you’re grown up.”

“Aren’t you going to take the rest off, Mummy?” Jasmin asked. “Susan says it feels lovely to be brown all over.”

Susan says. Maya suspected she was going to hear that quite often from her daughters this holiday. Oh, well, the girls have seen me often enough in the shower and it’s unlikely to shock Susan. She eased the bottom half of her bikini down over her hips and off.

Susan stared without a trace of embarrassment at the landing strip of pubic hair. “My mum has no hair,” she declared.

“Mummy,”Sophie began. “Why...?”

“Enough! Go away and play!” Maya interrupted her mock-seriously. “You two make sure you put sun cream on, especially on your bum, or you’ll burn!”

“Not just us, Mummy!” Sophie shouted back as the girls ran down the beach, giggling. “Your bum’s all white, too!”

Maya lay back down. She was amazed how different it felt to lie naked in the sun, rather than being even minimally covered by a bikini. Everyday matters such as work had got in the way of a deep consideration of her experience wit the two rugby players. Having allowed herself to be filmed in such an extreme situation still made her feel both very nervous and very brave, even now, months later. She closed her eyes and resumed her reflections on the occasion when she’d taken the DVD of her session with Oelipalo and Adam to show to Gaëlle...
