Abbie gives Olivia a rub down

Abbie glanced around the pool deck, which was surprisingly still rather empty. There were a few patrons scattered about, mostly tanning. One older man was slowly swimming laps, but paying no attention to anything going on around. Abbie was tickled by the idea that all around her, all the time, strangers were meeting, making connections, sometimes talking, sometimes touching, and it was happening constantly, whether people were aware of it or not. That in this moment, Abbie was sharing part of her life with Olivia, that was the kind of magic she loved to foster in the world.

"You want to sort of just ... sit on my legs?" Olivia asked. Abbie was about to move when Olivia added, "you know, the way your friend did to you?"

The first half of Olivia's request was simple and plain, but when she added the reference to having seen Jake, Abbie smiled. Olivia wasn't just asking for sunscreen, she was asking for attention.

"Of course," Abbie replied.

She swung her leg over the deck chair and lowered herself down onto Olivia's prone body. It wasn't every day that two strangers make their first physical contact by one sitting on the back of the other's thighs, and yet, Abbie only found the opportunity exciting, not odd.

As she sat, she immediately felt the strength and firmness of Olivia's body. Abbie had watched her move, knew she was long and lean, but hadn't really considered how athletic she was. Her thighs were not particularly thick, but they were hard as steel. Abbie wiggled a bit to get comfortable, and to afford herself the chance to feel more of Olivia against her own skin.

"Getting cozy?" Olivia asked. She crossed her ankles and flexed her toes.

Abbie could feel Olivia's legs moving a bit underneath her. "Mm-hm. The sun has warmed you up nicely."

"Mm, so have you," Olivia said with a light giggle.

Abbie squeezed a bit of lotion onto her hand and placed the bottle onto the ground. She leaned over Olivia's back and started massaging into her shoulders.

"Oh, that feels nice," Olivia murmured.

Abbie smirked and glanced at Jake to her right. He had adjusted his deck chair so he could lean back on it, but he was also lounging at an angle so he could watch Abbie.

"You've got incredible skin," Abbie said with a small amount of awe.

"You've got incredible fingers," Olivia replied with the same cadence. "I'm feeling a little tight today, but you've got the magic touch."

Abbie worked her fingers into Olivia's shoulders, massaging the sides of her neck. Olivia reached back to pull her hair out of the way, and Abbie saw a small tattoo just beneath her hairline, a delicate script that read fearless.

"Mm, I like your tattoo."

Olivia chuckled. "Oh, that. Got it in high school." She let out a small sigh. "From what I saw, I can imagine the same thing tattooed on you."

Abbie stretched her head back, feeling the sun wash over her face. She exhaled slowly. "Not in high school, that's for sure. But even now, I don't have any tattoos." She ran her thumb over the word on Olivia's neck, then leaned down to get more sunscreen. Armed with another dollop, Abbie returned to rubbing more of the cream into Olivia's skin. She watched as the white lotion gradually disappeared, Olivia's light mocha body absorbing it completely until it vanished.

"You want to unclasp that in the back?"

Abbie grinned. "Okay!"

With both hands, Abbie took hold of the small gold latch that connected the back straps of Olivia's bikini top. She undid the hook, and slowly pulled the sides of the bikini away from Olivia, letting them fall. Although Olivia was still flat on her front, Abbie couldn't help but admire the sides of her breasts that she could see. She glanced over at Jake, who was still watching -- and perhaps a bit more eagerly now that Abbie had gotten Olivia's top unhooked. Abbie giggled to herself while looking at Jake, and then brought her attention back to Olivia.

Now that Olivia's back was fully unfettered, Abbie used both hands, tenderly (but firmly) massaging her from the tops of Olivia's shoulders downward. She worked her fingers along Olivia's spine, digging into the defined muscles down the center of her back, feeling the strength of her body. Olivia was slim, but athletically built, her muscle tone taut as she stretched, her skin smooth and unblemished.

"Do you work out?" Abbie asked, not even sure why that question came out of her mouth. She had been thinking about Olivia's body, and was taken more by its fitness than its sensuality (though Abbie was not naive to the latter).

"I swim," Olivia replied. "Try to do about hour most days. I thought I was coming to the pool for that, but I got ... distracted."

Abbie giggled. "Oh you did, huh?"

"I did."

Olivia breathed deeply, relaxing her body under Abbie's touch. Abbie kept her hands along the surface of Olivia's back, rubbing her confidently and without any hesitation, but restricting her contact to only her back.

Olivia had become aware of the limitations of Abbie's reach as well. "Mm, that feels so good." She took a breath, pausing briefly before continuing. "You weren't shy with your friend before. You don't have to be shy with me."
