Under African Skies !

Debbi and Lawrence were sitting on the terrace of the hunting lodge, sipping their cocktails and staring at a floodlit tree fifty yards away, where a prime hunk of beef had been placed in a cleft between branches. They had spent an exciting day on a game drive; spotting zebra, giraffe, elephants, watching cheetahs chase gazelles. The guide had pointed to lions hiding in tall grass but Debbi could not spot them. Now they were looking at a tree !

"Do you think the leopard will come ?" Debbi wondered. "Depends how hungry it is I suppose" Lawrence answered. Just then, less that twenty yards away, a languidly lithe and powerfully muscular feline specimen padded nonchalantly round the side of the lodge and headed for the tree, paying no mind to the humans who were watching in awe. "Have you still got those leopard print knickers ?" asked Lawrence.

Still later that evening, Lawrence was lying on the bed of his hut when there was a tentative knock on the door. "Just a minute" he called, draping the sheet around his naked body. Opening the door, he discovered that his visitor was Debbi, who seemed to be wearing just a shirt. "Yes ?" he smiled. "What can I do for you ?"

"I'm frightened" said Debbi. "What if the leopard comes back ?"

"It's sleeping off its' meal. It made short work of that beef !" Lawrence laughed. Debbi was not convinced.

"And there was a thing in my hut" she continued.

"A thing ?" Lawrence repeated.

"Huge thing with hundreds of legs"

"A centipede ?"

"Whatever, it was huge !"

"You'd better sleep here then" Lawrence conceded. "Good" said Debbi.

"What's the plan for tomorrow ?" Debbi asked as they lay on the bed. Lawrence was thinking how much more luxurious this hut was than the room they had shared for the first calendar shoot in India. "Busy, busy, busy" he replied. "If we can, I want to do two separate shoots. There's the calendar of course but then I've got a magazine interested in a set of you posing with a gang of Masai boys" he continued. "Ooh !" said Debbi.

"What've you got in mind for the calendar ?" Debbi enquired. "Oh, carting water, washing clothes etc. Usual thing but different scenery, enhanced by a beautiful naked form !" Debbi giggled. "They use a water hole for bathing, we'll have you in there." Lawrence was getting sleepy. "There won't be crocodiles ?" Debbi was alarmed again. "We'll get the locals to check" Lawrence laughed. "Though Bimbo WAG gets eaten by crocs would be a big story for the tabloids !" Debbi thumped his chest and then snuggled up to sleep.
