Stays in the tail

"Well, the paddles need to go, definitely," Alyssa replied. "But the tail...that's kinda growing on me."

Vanessa's face lit up. "Ooh, you're a bold one."

"What about you?"

"If you're staying in yours, I'm staying in mine. I'm not going to be outdone by a newcomer."

Alyssa raised an eyebrow. "This isn't a competition."

"If it was, I'd be winning."

Alyssa laughed. She looked over to the keybearer. She realised she was going to have to crawl over to her in order to free herself.

"Can't she come any closer?" Alyssa moaned.

"Unfortunately not. That's part of the fun." Vanessa wiggled her mermaid tail.

Alyssa sighed, and mustered up the strength to pull herself off of the chair and then lie chest-down on the ground. With big, laboured movements, she scraped her bound hands across the ground in front of her.

The keybearer could plainly see what was happening and watched on in amusement, with a slight smile.

Eventually, Alyssa reached the keybearer. She pulled herself up to the counter. The man who had been there earlier was absent.

"Hi, could I get these paddles removed please?"

The keybearer smiled. "Of course. The fee will be added to your tab."

"Is there a way to check my tab?"Alyssa knew for a fact she was going to forget how much money she had spent.

The keybearer retrieved a key from her tray and started work on the mitts. "Of course. The control screen in your hut keeps a running tally."

"The same screen that controls the bed?"

"Thats the one."

Alyssa watched as the keybearer finished unlocking the mitts and sliding them off her arms. She relished the opportunity to use her hands again.

"Do you wish to remove the tail?"

"Oh no. I thought that I would stay in that for a bit."

"I see. Well be warned. Removing that will cost fifty dollars."

"That's steep."

"It is a complicated restraint."

"Better get my money's worth then."

Alyssa crawled back to Vanessa, who had also beached herself on the concrete at this point, ready to set off.

"So uh, what's the easiest way to do this?" Alyssa asked, propping herself up with her arms.

"Well, we can continue to crawl around like beached whales, or we can stand up and hop there. Its probably more dangerous, but might be faster."

"Hopping it is then." Alyssa pulled herself to her feet using the deck chair that she saw had been bolted to the ground, presumably for thjs exact purpose. Vanessa did the same.

"Now, small, controlled hops are safest. Got it?"

Alyssa nodded. Vanessa led the way, hopping about a metre. The fin of the tail wobbled a bit in the air.

Taking great care, Alyssa followed. She made sure to come to a complete stop before hopping again, rather than gain too much control and lose momentum. She eventually got the hang of it enough to not wobble after every jump.

==============================

The park was, coincidentally, next to the pool, out the other side from the reception desk. There were many people lounging on the grass. A large majority were blindfolded to keep the sun out of their eyes. Every woman wore at most a bikini and at least nothing except restraints, all of which varied between them. The two women passed by a particularly bold coupled having sex while tied to each other. Alyssa made sure that they placed themselves far enough away to not hear their passionate love-making.

They eventually settled on a less crowded area next to a path that cut through the park. A topless woman in a bikini passed by on roller skates. Alyssa made a mental note to try some rollerblading while she was here.

The two girls collapsed onto the grass, too pooped to hop any further. Vanessa decided to lie on her front, and Alyssa on her back. The sun was right above her however, so decided to join Vanessa on her front.

"Have you applied any sunscreen yet?" Vanessa asked, opening the purse she had brought with her and producing a bottle of the stuff.

"Haven't yet actually, no."

Vanessa passed her the bottle. "Here ya go. Ill have some after you're done."

Alyssa applied the sunscreen onto her arms and face, but had to get Vanessa to do her back. Her face instantly lit up and she crawled over tk Alyssa. She immediately unclasped the top of her swimsuit to allow her to rub it all over.

"You really should have worn a bikini. A one-piece can't come off when you wear the tail."

"Thats a good thing, with the boob grabber about."

Vanessa reached around and gave Alyssa's left boob a squeeze. "Turn around. Ill do your front."

Alyssa was about to say she could do it herself, but seeing as Vanessa was already on top of her, it might be easy.

"Undo the top strap. We need the suit out of the way to get it over evenly."

"You just want to see my boobs."

"Yes. See? At least im honest about it."

Alyssa gave her a chiding glance. Vanessa threw up her hands, and then removed her bikini top in two quick, fluid motions.

"There. I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

Alyssa rolled her eyes. It'd be quicker to let her have her way. She sat up, reached up behind her, unclasped the top strap, and let the suit fall off her chest and fold onto the tail.

Vanessa wasted no time rubbing sunblock onto her breasts. "Ah yes. There we go. Firm and squishy. Perfectly proportioned."

"You're a lesbian, aren’t you?" Alyssa asked.

"What did only just notice?" Vanessa rubbed in a circular motion, causing Alyssa's breast to be spun at the same time. She then brought her hands away and handed Alyssa the sunblock. "There we go. Done. Your turn now."

"You literally only did my boobs."

"The part most in danger of skin cancer. You're welcome."

Alyssa sighed, and did the rest of her front by herself, while Vanessa watched on impatiently. She then went to retie her swimsuit.

"Oi! No! Leave it down."

Alyssa muttered under he breath, then said. "Fine. Since you clearly have a hard on for my boobs."

"Hey, at least I'm honest about it."

Alyssa applied the sunblock ontk Vanessa's bacj and then stopped, waiting for her to take over. She didn't.

"Do the rest yourself. Come on, you can do it."

Alyssa sighed once more. Vanessa seemed determined to turn her into a lesbian. But she reluctantly got going on her arms, face, belly. She left the breasts for last. She tried to do them quickly, but Vanessa insist she slowed down and do three layers. By the time she finished, Alyssa's right hand smelt like Vanessa's nipples.

With that, Vanessa put her blindfold goggles back on and lay on her back. Alyssa returned to her front. She did take a quick glance of Vanessa's topless form, silhouetted by the bright sky.
