The Gift Pt. 02

After watching the dogs, we headed to the shop for truffles and wine. The tours provide additional revenue, so they are always welcome. We sipped and shopped the various foods they had available. I picked up a couple of bottles of wine, and some souvenirs, then looked around for Mel. Not seeing her, I noticed Jen looking around. I asked Jen if she had seen Mel. She looked around, noticing Shawna was also missing, so we went outside. We saw both of them petting one of the cuter pups and talking. Jen and I watched as Mel and Shawna laughed and played with the pup.

That's when Jen and I started talking about more personal details. I mentioned I was single and not looking at the moment. I'd broken up with my last boyfriend about eight months ago and was just tired of dating. This vacation with Mel was mainly to reward her, but it was also a chance for me to get away from everything and rethink what I wanted in a relationship.

She mentioned she understood where I was coming from. She wasn't always a lesbian; she'd had a few abusive relationships with men which I told her I was sorry for her. She'd met Shawna when she was interviewing for a law firm in Tacoma. Shawna was on the hiring committee, and although she didn't get the job, they became friends and eventually lovers.

We talked more until the tour guide called to return to the bus. Mel and Shawna saw us when they heard the tour guide. They met us at the bus smiling from their time with the dog. Mel told me all about it because the farmer's daughter had been feeding them earlier and told Mel it was alright to pet it.

When Mel and I returned to the ship, we took turns showering and getting dressed for dinner. How I longed for a shower, we could both fit in simultaneously. Mel mentioned she liked Shawna and that she reminded her of me.

I smiled, glad she enjoyed talking with other 'mature' women. I definitely could see why Shawna or anyone would like Mel. I told her what Jen had told me, reiterating that even though we liked them, they couldn't know about 'us'. Mel gave me 'Duh, I know, look', which made me grin.

Mel went on to say I should exchange numbers with them both. They might be able to set me up with one of their lesbian friends when we get back. I had thought of that, but I wasn't going to tell them I recently started liking females to help maintain our secret.

Dinner was fabulous as usual, and we found a waiter we liked, funny and entertaining. He teased Mel because she's adorable, and they seemed like they were close to the same age. I sipped my wine as we talked about our day and what was in store for the next.

Shawna and Jen came in when we were about halfway through our dinner, smiling and saying hello before finding an empty table on the other side of the room.

We took our time eating, enjoying our 'alone' time. The ship's schedule is so fast at times, with tours, things to do onboard, and eating it can wear you out enjoying yourself. When we finished dinner, up to the lounge, we went. The nightly entertainment wasn't due to start for another thirty minutes, so we sat, socializing with our fellow passengers.

Mel was in a good mood, and when the piano player began playing songs, she knew. She got up to dance to burn off some teenage energy. Unlike the time before, she hadn't had any alcohol. I sat and watched as Mel moved to the beat of the music. Shawna and Jen wandered in halfway through. They sat by me, watching my girl dance smiling and commenting on how easily she moved. When the second song came on, Mel walked over and begged me to dance with her. I declined, knowing I'd look like a fool. Then Mel asked Shawna, who looked at me, for permission. I naturally said yes, so she got up, Mel taking her hand and began to dance.

Jen and I sat watching them move together, they weren't touching, but they seemed to have a rhythm together that was delightful to watch. A server stopped by, Jen and I ordered wine for Shawna and us and sparkling water for Mel.

The music only lasted for one more song, then Mel sat next to Jen with Shawna on her other side. I moved across the coffee table to sit next to Jen for a better view of the show. We sat and sipped, waiting for the night's entertainment which happened to be belly dancers.

A pair of dark-skinned young ladies walked out to the center of the dance floor. Our cruise director introduced them as their musicians set up. We sat and watched as our cruise director explained the costumes, moves, along with the music. The ladies danced four numbers walking around the dance floor, smiling and wiggling their hips.

The four of us watched and smiled, and we'd comment to each other how nice they looked. Mel made us laugh when she blurted out how hot they were. We'd finished our drinks and ordered another round just before the ladies started dancing again. I looked over at Mel, who was enchanted with their movements.

I saw Shawna whisper in Mel's ear, making her blush. I had no idea what she said, and I wasn't going to ask. When it was all over, the ladies got a standing ovation. The four of us went topside for a bit to walk around and finish our drinks. Mel was very animated, talking about how hot the ladies were and their sexy costumes. She even tried doing a few hip shimmies and lifts. We all smiled, watching her, then applauded her attempts. Shawna slipped next to me, whispering how adorable she was. I had to agree and told her Mel was adorable. Jen then stood on my other side, whispering that if she didn't know any better, she'd think Shawna was smitten with my kitten. Luckily I wasn't drinking at that moment because I would have blown wine out of my nose; I thought it was so funny.

We tried the dance moves too, but not as agile as Mel. It just made us look silly.

We finished our drinks, said our goodnights and returned to our respective cabins. Mel was still talking about the dancers as we prepared for bed. When we settled into our bed, Mel took the lead, having been aroused, you might say by the dancers. She turned out the light, snuggled close to me, then began softly nuzzling my neck. As her passion grew, she moved to my lips for an aggressive make-out session.

I responded with the same enthusiasm, practically tearing her top off as she kissed me. My hands against her breasts, kneading each one, making her even more hungry. She let me sit up, lifted my top over my head, and tossed it onto the floor. Then down my body to devour, and I mean devour my breasts. I squirmed and rolled, holding her as best I could, loving my little tigress.

Instead of going down on me, we did the pussy rub thing again. Only this time after we'd removed our panties, Mel got on my leg, lifting the other to rest on her shoulder. Luckily, our cabin was adjacent to the gym, which was closed because I could hear the headboard of the bed smacking against the wall a few times as Mel gyrated, pushed, and slid our vaginas together until we both had climaxed and she was spent.

My little tigress eased herself off me, panting and sweaty as if she'd run a marathon. She laid down snuggling with me until she fell asleep. I remembered what Jen had said about Mel being a kitten. I knew some women our ages were sometimes referred to as cougars. But, I'd never heard the term kitten applied to a younger woman.

I grinned, I never pictured Mel as my kitten, and that night she certainly wasn't, and that was a very good thing.

Our next tour was a wine and chocolate pairing at Le Château de Tournon. I told Mel she could sample the wines because they never serve enough to get drunk; she was okay with that. Our tour buddies Shawna and Jen were there with us. I started watching Shawna with Mel a bit more. I was feeling a bit jealous, you might say. However, they weren't doing anything but being social and enjoying each other's company. Jen didn't seem to mind or show any sign that she was jealous of Mel having a good time with her wife. It gave Jen more time to talk with me and get to know each other better.

The tasting was fantastic, and we sampled four different wines with eight different chocolates. I love dark chocolate and found a perfect combination with a nice Syrah that was available in the US. When it was over, we got a chance to tour a chocolate shop with oodles of various kinds of chocolates. While we were walking around, Jen came up with an idea.

She suggested we each buy two chocolates each and not tell each other. She'd talk to the maître d' on board the ship and get a couple of different red wines, and we could have a sampling in their room one night after dinner.

Mel, of course, loved the idea, so we agreed to do it pending Jen getting the wine. I bought five different kinds of chocolates, primarily dark, for my personal consumption. The rest of the day, we spent walking around enjoying being off the ship.

Back on the ship, Jen negotiated with the maître d' regarding the wine, so we didn't have our party that night. Plus, we'd had enough wine and chocolate that day to last us for at least another day.

Mel and I had a quiet dinner alone, talking, and relaxing. Our next stop was Tarascon, Mel and I opted for the bike ride along the Rhône, through town to the Langlois Bridge and back. It was good to exercise our legs and feel the wind in our faces.

Back aboard the ship, we lounged around in our room until we heard a knock on the door. Mel answered, smiling when she saw it was Jen. Jen let us know she'd made a deal for the wine, and after dinner, we could do the sampling if we felt up for it. We both thought it was a great idea so we agreed to eat as soon as we could then join them. We got their cabin number just in case we didn't see them at dinner.

We did see Jen and Shawna and decided to share one of the larger tables. They told us about their day tracing Van Gogh's life in Arles, and we talked about our bike ride. We all skipped dessert, knowing we had chocolates on the menu. Mel and I left first, knowing our friends were almost finished. We returned to our cabin, grabbed our chocolates then made the short trip to their cabin. Jen welcomed us then ushered us in.

Shawna was at a small round table with four chairs around it and three bottles of red wine in the center accompanied by four glasses. She got up, and we all hugged, anxious to do the sampling. I looked around the cabin and realized how bigger it was than ours. Jen offered to show me around some, which took like two minutes. The bathroom was much more extensive, their bed was king-sized compared to our queen, and the balcony had room for a table and chairs, which were lacking on ours. I thought maybe it would have been worth the extra money.

While Jen and I were looking around, Mel and Shawna poured some wine and divided the chocolates, placing them neatly on the table in front of each seat. We sat, so Mel and I were opposite one other and began the sampling. Jen, being thoughtful, had placed little pads of the ship's stationery and a pen to write down our favorite combinations.

Then the sampling began; we sipped, tasted, and commented to each other what we liked, then wrote that down. We seemed to be going through more wine than chocolate. It wasn't a big deal, and we weren't touring anything the next day, just cruising.

The room was becoming a tad warm to me, and as we drank more, it seemed to get warmer. We'd been sampling for about an hour when I had to use the restroom. I felt terrific; I liked Jen and Shawna, as did Mel. When I returned from the bathroom, Mel was sitting on Shawna.'s lap facing her. I did a double-take, wondering what was going on.

Mel turned to me, smiling, "I was holding some chocolate, and it melted on my fingers, Auntie Beth. Shawna asked if she could lick it off. And this was easier than her leaning over. I hope it's alright."

All three of them looked at me for my approval. I didn't want to cause a scene, so I said sure. Shawna had a firm grip on my baby's ass as Mel turned to face her. Mel stuck out her finger; Shawna took Mel's hand then moved it to her mouth. The three of us watched as Shawna slowly placed my darling's finger between her lips to suck the melted chocolate off. She then licked it up and down as we all stared.

Mel squirmed on Shawna's lap as Jen slipped next to me, whispering in my ear, "I told you she was smitten with your kitten."

Then Jen softly kissed under my ear, "Mel is so adorable, Beth. Why don't you and I go for a little walk and let them talk."

Mel and Shawna looked at me like I should leave; I was torn. Jen seemed to be okay with it, which I felt was odd. I had an idea what they were probably going to do. I didn't want to make a scene, and Jen's lips on my neck felt oh so good on my neck. I caved, telling them we'd be back in a bit. They both replied 'thank you' in unison, giggled, then looked at each other, smiling.

Jen escorted me out the door and then down to our cabin. She turned me around when we got inside, kissing me full on the lips. I kissed her back, loving her tongue in my mouth. She broke our kiss then pushed me back on the bed.

I lay there stunned, "But, you two are married."

She smiled, unbuttoning her top, "We are. We have an open relationship. Mel confessed to Shawna you had recently come out and that she was curious, so here we are, Beth. Is this a problem?"

I watched as she revealed her sparsely freckled breasts. Much fuller than Mel's and looking so suckable. She tossed her top and bra to the side of the bed. Then walked up to the edge of it, her knees on either side of me. Lowering herself, she offered me one nipple, which I gladly began to suckle. As I did, she started talking to me in a very different manner than Mel. Her voice was husky, and her words were firm and commanding without being harsh.

She told me that most people think Shawna is the leading partner in their marriage because she's taller and more outgoing. She explained that it's equal until Shawna has a craving, then it's Jen's decision if Shawna gets to follow through on it. They'd both picked up a few clues from us, but until Mel accidentally mentioned that I had told her I was done with men that she was sort of curious that they decided to see what might happen with a bit more flirting.

All of this was enlightening as I suckled her breasts which she thoroughly enjoyed, calling me her good girl, baby, sweet lips, along with a few other terms that aroused me further.

When she'd had enough, Jen backed down off the bed. She pulled my legs to her, so I was at the edge of the bed, legs dangling. She slowly unbuttoned my slacks as our eyes melded into each others. Then I raised my hips, letting her remove my pants to join her top on the bed.

She grinned when she saw the dark spot on my panties. She slipped her fingers in the waistband to remove those too. Mel was improving at licking my pussy, and I'm not complaining because we're both new at it, But Jen, oh my god, that woman was like a professional. She had me squirming and moaning from the moment she kissed my lower lips. Her fingers joined in fucking me alongside her tongue. I nearly lost it when she sucked my clit, then tongued it.

I finally did lose it when Jen used the tip of her tongue to tease me into my climax. She finished me off, kissing my thighs before straddling me once again to kiss me full on the mouth.

She lay next to me as we talked while I slowly returned to earth. I found out a little more about Jen and Shawna's relationship. I began to picture Jen, Shawna, and I playing around and discovering things together. It was a beautiful image.

We'd been gone for about an hour, and it was close to eleven when Jen thanked me for allowing Mel to experience Shawna. We kissed again rather passionately before Jen, and I exchanged numbers so we could continue this back home. I was glowing as she kissed me one last time good night, whispering she'd send Mel back when she returned to her cabin and for me not to be upset with my kitten. I told her I wasn't as she walked out the door after getting dressed and wiping her face in the bathroom.

I lay back down, trying to make sense of what had just happened. I felt incredible as I waited for my love to return from her adventure.

It wasn't long before Mel entered our cabin. She looked very embarrassed yet pleased. Mel immediately apologized for letting it slip that I was 'out'. She looked so pitiful that I couldn't be mad at her. I loved her, and I reassured her it was fine as long as there wasn't any hint of our real relationship.

She shook her head, "No, I told Shawna I was kind of curious because you mentioned you were tired of men and had met a woman and had a fling with her."

I smiled, brushing her messy hair from her face, and then kissed her sweet lips, which had a very different taste to them. I suggested she shower before coming to bed. She smiled, hugged me once more, then undressed to shower.

I knew what Shawna saw in her. She was gorgeous and enthusiastic when discovering new things. When my love returned all clean, I showered as Mel waited in bed to tell me what happened after I left. I really didn't want to hear it, but she was so excited that I couldn't tell her no.

We settled into bed. Mel turned out the light snuggling next to me to tell me her story.

Shawna had finished licking Mel's finger just before Jen, and I left the room. Mel said that got her going watching Shawna's tongue with her finger. Shawna's hands were cupping her ass and slowly rubbing it, which added to her mood.

When the door was closed, Shawna reached up, placing her hand behind Mel's head, bringing her down so they could kiss. They made out for a while, Mel moving back and forth in Shawna's lap, exciting them both. Then Shawna broke their kiss and began unbuttoning Mel's top. She whispered if what she was doing was okay with Mel.

Mel just nodded her head as the buttons opened, revealing her lace bra and perky breasts. Shawna looked up at her, smiling, telling my baby she had beautiful breasts, and noticed her nipples were stiff, pushing at the bra's fabric. That made Mel blush, making Shawna smile, calling Mel a sweet kitten.

Then Shawna helped Mel remove the top. She reached around my young lover to unhook her bra. Slowly, Shawna revealed Mel's firm round breasts, which widened her eyes. She complimented Mel on having such delectable boobs, which once more made Mel red.

Shawna leaned in, gently kissing each swollen nipple as if blessing them. Mel moaned, loving the attention. With her breasts now bare, Mel placed her hands behind Shawna's head to pull her to her chest so Shawna could feed.

They stayed like that, with Shawna suckling Mel's breasts until Shawna lifted Mel up and gently placed her on the king-sized bed. Mel was wearing s lovely skirt that matched her top. Shawna joined her on the bed, between Mel's legs.

Kneeling, she lifted Mel's skirt then eased her boy shorts off her. Lowering her face to my baby's vagina, Shawna gave my sweet Mel the ride of her young life.

Mel kissed my neck as she continued telling me her story. She said Shawna was spectacular between her legs, causing Mel to thrash about the bed as much as I had.

I smiled, whispering, "I figured Shawna was much better at that than I was and that I completely understood because Jen was the same way.

That sort of surprised Mel, who admitted she thought we might be doing something to stay busy while she and Shawna explored.

She giggled, snuggling tighter, then continued her story.

She said it didn't take long for her to climax. Shawna had a very yummy tongue. So, after Mel calmed down, She asked Shawna if she could reciprocate. Shawna grinned, telling Mel she didn't have to.

Mel said she blushed, then told Shawna she'd like to try at least. Shawna told her, only if she really wanted to. Mel giggled, simply saying yes.
