She stared into the mirror's reflection of her deep violet
eyes as she tied her waist-length, strawberry blond waves into a snug tail.
Tiny red-gold curls of her unruly tresses escaped the black satin elastic
and framed her face. She blew a wisp from her nose in annoyance.
"I
know he had an emergency at the office, but I feel so out of place by
myself, with all these older business people at this exclusive club. The
only people here, that are my age, are all staff." Chastity wrinkled her
nose as she struggled into her neon-purple swimsuit. The tiny poolside
shower-room smelled of chlorine and cleaner.
Turning
to check the fit of her bathing suit in the full-length mirror, she
frowned. "I don't remember the bikini being this small when I tried it
on in
the store," she groused. She tied the strings of the push-up top behind
her
neck, then fought to get it to sit right on her bosom.
"I
look like I'm gon'na fall out of this any second." She scooped her hand
into the bright violet cups and repositioned her breasts, forcing the
brilliant satin to cover as much as possible.
She
tugged at the high cut sides of her bottoms. "This bottom is more a
thong than a panty. If I move just wrong, it's going to ride straight up my
crack." She pulled at the crotch to position it and sighed in defeat. "I
should have known better than to bring the new bikini."
Chastity
turned to the white plastic chair beside her. She lifted the long,
black satin dressing robe she'd been given by one of the club's staff.
"Where
is the belt?" She looked around but didn't see it. "I guess I have
to
wear it hanging open." She nibbled her lower lip as she pulled on the robe.
Glancing once more in the mirror she blushed.
"I
look like a stripper about to go on stage than a high-school senior. All
I need is red lipstick and some high heels." She slipped on a pair of purple
rubber flip-flop sandals, then gathered her bag with her clothes. "Well,
here goes..."
She
stepped out of the tiny dressing room and into the warm brilliant
sunlight. Small tables with umbrellas and guests relaxing in white lounge
chairs framed the gigantic, kidney shaped, white marble pool. Rounded marble
steps led into the water at the far end. The deep cool blue of the water
looked inviting, especially in this summer heat. Light gleamed on the gentle
ripples of the water around two older guests who laughed as they swam.
She
blushed, tugging on the edges of her robe. She was afraid of what the
club members were going to think of her 'stripper' suit if she took off the
robe to swim.
A
tall, slender young man in the Club's uniform of short, snug khaki shorts
and a blindingly white polo shirt stepped out from where he'd been waiting
on one side of the door. The black silk of his short, trimmed hair fell
across his brow rakishly and reflected in blue streaks, matching the deep
blue of his eyes. His arms were bare to the elbows and showed an impressive
array of tanned muscle. He smiled with masculine approval.
'I guess he likes the swim suit,' she thought and smiled ruefully. "Tony,
right?" He nodded. 'Wow, he's really cute,' she thought. 'My, what big
arms
you have...'
"You
remembered my name." Tony grinned. "If you like, I'll take care of
your bag for you." She handed it over with a word of thanks. Tony bowed
slightly and motioned with one arm. "If you will come this way?"
'I
wish all the boys I knew were this polite,' she thought as she followed
him. Her sandals slapped against her heels as she walked.
He
led her to a lounge chair in the shade of a wide umbrella. Before she
could protest, Tony slid the robe from her shoulders and laid it on the back
of the chair Embarrassed by the sudden exposure Chastity sat down while Tony
trotted off.
'Well,
there goes that,' she thought, mortified. 'Let's see how many people
I can offend in a hurry.' Chastity ignored the lewd glare of a hairy
pot-bellied man sitting to her left. She raised her chin. 'Yeah, that's
right. I wear scanty thong bikinis all the time.'
"Nice
Bikini," said a tall older man as he emerged dripping wet, from the
pools edge, right at her feet. Her eyes fixated on his tiny blue spandex
Speedos that revealed a hard bulge in the groin and his pasty white legs.
Like a pot of honey, she was attracting flies. Her courage failed her.
'Shit.
I need to cover myself!' She turned around to grab her robe when a
voice startled her.
"Hello
there." Chastity jumped as someone suddenly bent over her chair. "I'm
Mr. Davies, the Club manager. You're Chastity, I believe?" he asked.
He
was an extremely handsome, older gentleman, also in the Club's uniform of
khaki shorts and white shirt. His head was completely bald and evenly tanned
with a single diamond flashing from his ear. His eyes were bright green; his
teeth perfect. She noted the beginnings of a small beer gut thickening his
middle. She also noted the definition of strong muscles in his darkly tanned
thighs as he knelt by her chair.
"Hello,"
she said nodding, then smiled uneasily. 'Here it comes, the part
where I get sent home for my bathing suit. Dad's going to kill me.' She
released her hold on the robe. It was far too late to cover up.
"It's
a pleasure to have you here," said Mr. Davies. "Your father told us
to
expect you."
Chastity
watched as Tony approached, then stood silently to one side of Mr.
Davies. "Dad would have come, but there was an emergency at work..."
Confusion
momentarily flitted across his features. "Emergency at work," Mr.
Davies repeated. "Ah, I understand." He smiled and focused on Chastity's
chest.
"Tony,"
said Mr. Davies as he rose from his crouch, "Miss Chastity is new
and probably doesn't know her way around, be sure to give her a tour of the
main house and make sure she has anything she needs, understood?"
"Absolutely
sir," Tony said with a small bow and a wide grin.
'Whoa,'
Chastity thought in surprise. 'Looks like I'm not getting kicked out
for my swim-wear.'
"Oh,
and Tony, Chastity has a two o'clock appointment to meet with Father
Gregor." Mr. Davies slanted a meaningful look at Tony. "Make sure
she's
there on time." Tony gave Chastity a startled look, then nodded with a
frown. Mr. Davies abruptly left to walk toward another guest.
"Who's
Father Gregor?" Chastity whispered.
Tony
knelt by her chair. "He's our resident, ah, priest." Chastity looked
at
him in some confusion. "He, um, works with some of the guests," Tony
added.
"For those who need um, a priest." Tony shrugged, then looked at her
uneasily.
"There's
a chapel here?"
"There
is for the Father. He has a whole suite on the top floor. The Club
rebuilt the entire attic just for him." Tony swallowed hard, then pasted
a
bright smile on his lips. "Did you want to go for a swim before I take
you
for a tour?" he asked brightly.
"Sounds
like a plan," she said. Chastity rose from her chair and sighed.
'Well,' she mused to herself, 'this is one way to hide the bikini. Nobody is
in the water right now so, why not?'
Chastity
launched herself from the pool's edge in a well-practiced dive. Her
swim-team coach would have been proud. She felt her anxieties melt away as
the cool wetness enveloped her. The water was just as refreshing as it
looked.
***
"Ready
for your tour of the main house?" Tony asked as she climbed up the
pool ladder by her chair. He was holding a fluffy white towel for her to
wipe off with. Her robe lay over his other arm and her shoes clutched in one
hand.
"Should
I change?" Chastity asked, not wanting to wear her skimpy violet
bikini any more than she had to.
"You're
better off without clothes..." Chastity looked at him sharply. He
smiled nervously at his blunder. "I mean, this is supposed to be a
pool-party so you are expected to be wearing a swim suit, and you're
beautiful, why not show it off?"
"I'm
not that pretty." Chastity said blushing as Tony helped her into the
black satin robe.
"Now,
that's where you're totally wrong. You are clearly the loveliest guest
here." He grinned. "And I am honored to be your guide for today."
He offered
his arm gallantly. "Shall we go?"
The
Club's main house was a renovated Victorian mansion of old red brick and
multicolored painted trim, complete with a rounded tower to one side.
Decorative wooden gingerbread, cut into lace patterns, trimmed every corner.
Guests sat under the broad, ivy covered porches in tall chairs around small
tables and chatted in expensive summer clothes and swimsuits.
Tony
took her into the house and charmed her with amusing stories about the
antiques and the guests. The interior was beautifully appointed. The walls
were painted cream and trimmed in white with tapestries and paintings placed
under spotlights. Antiques in glowing wood and silk were scattered in
comfortable groups on rich, thick rugs over hardwood floors. They walked
the halls, her sandals slapping softly against her heels. They peeked into
the myriad rooms, talked and laughed.
The
Grandfather clock on the staircase landing chimed the three-quarter hour
in loud, deep tones. Tony glanced at his wristwatch and bit his lip.
"It's
time to go to your appointment with Father Gregor," he said, his eyes
wide and serious. Suddenly, he pulled her into a corner and gripped her
upper arms.
"Look,"
he whispered hoarsely, "you don't have to go. I can get you your
clothes and call a cab. You can leave right now."
"I'm
just here for my Dad," Chastity said softly. "The appointment is
probably for him." She smiled confidently, but inside her heart pounded
in
anxiety. She put her palm on his bare arm. Warm muscle, tight with tension,
flexed under her fingers. He was so close she could smell the fresh clean
sent of sandalwood soap.
"You're
probably right, the appointment isn't for you." Tony shook his head
and turned away, biting his full bottom lip. He turned back and stared hard.
"Are you sure?"
She
focused on his lips and watched as he licked them. They looked soft and
full, perfect for kissing.
"No,
not really but... Tony, is there something I should know about Father
Gregor?" She looked into his worried eyes.
"I'm
not at liberty to say anything about the staff here, but..." Suddenly
he leaned forward and his lips brushed hers fleetingly in a soft kiss.
Shocked into inaction by the sudden kiss, Chastity allowed his tongue to
probe her mouth.
"Whoa,
hey!" Chastity said against his mouth. Her hands
pushed against
Tony's muscular chest, but he was immovable. Abruptly she pulled her lips
away and gasped for breath.
"Is this how you treat all your guests?"
He
pulled back in alarm. "I... I don't know why I did that," he stammered,
releasing her arms and blushing furiously.
Chastity
almost giggled. He looked like a guilty boy. Her fingers closed on
his arms, pulling him closer until her breasts touched his chest.
"Take
it easy," she said with a soft smile. "I'm not in a rush." She
raised
her lips to meet his and her eyes fluttered closed. She touched the tip of
her tongue to his lips, encouraging him to follow and he embraced her with a
soft moan.
He
pressed her back and she felt the wall cool against her skin. His chest
felt warm, firm and exciting against the softness of her breasts. His hips
pressed against her thigh and she felt the strong ridge of his erection
trapped in his shorts, against her bare skin.
'Whoa,
I think he likes me,' she thought. 'I'm kissing this guy that I
barely know...' Chastity thought in astonishment. 'But, he's so sweet and
cute... And a really great kisser.' She was really getting into the kiss
when Tony pulled back suddenly blushing furiously.
"I...
uh, we have to go to your appointment," said Tony checking his watch.
"There's not much time."
"First
you're talkin' me out of it, then your kissing me, now your talkin'
me into it!" Chastity jabbed her finger at Tony's chest in frustrated
annoyance. "Which is it?"
"Take
it easy!" Tony raised both hands in a defensive gesture making him
look as if he were being held up at gunpoint. "It's close on 2:00 pm, and
it was you're idea to stay. If you're gon'na go, we have to go now."
"Fine.
Whatever," she snapped. "Let's get this thing over with," Chastity
said grimly then slanted a look at him and cocked an eyebrow. "Will you
wait
for me?"
"Oh,
yeah," he said with a heated smile. "Your not going anywhere without
me."
'Good,'
thought Chastity, 'I want to get back to kissing him.'
"But,
we have to hurry. Trust me, we do not want to be late!" He led her to
the stairs and they climbed at a run.
