Spill the beans

"It's OK." She paused and looked around. Everyone seemed to be suppressing a look of shock. Mandy took a deep breath then said, "It's fine. I don't know why I was so worried about it. We had sex with another couple. Before we came on this vacation we swapped with a couple we met a few months ago. The first night here we saw a couple having sex, then the next night they were in the pool while we were having sex so I opened the curtains so they could watch. Then the next night we ran into them at the bar and decided to swap with them. Then Scott came back to our room and we made love again... a alot. Then this morning I gave him a blowjob right before we left to come out to the hot tub. There. Now everybody knows everything. No need to hide it or feel awkward about it. It is what it is. We did it and we aren't ashamed of it."

A silence followed her last words. I couldn't help but notice Madeline's focus shift from Mandy to me.

"Well, that's rad!" Mia said, finally breaking the silence. "There's nothing to be ashamed of. You and Scott should have fun however you like."

"Yes," Madeline added. "As long as everyone is into it, it's great. Nothing wrong with that."

"Thank you," Mandy said, relieved.

"There's so many attractive people here, topless women everywhere, who could blame people if the attractions went a bit further than just looking?" Glenn said. "Or a lot further even."

"Don't get any ideas!" Mia said, glaring at Glenn. "Not that there's anything wrong with it. I just like my Glennmuffins all to myself and I know that I have to tell him that because he'd jump at the chance of getting into bed with one of you sexy ladies if I let him."

"You don't need to say that," I said. "You're not offending us if you don't want to do it as well. We certainly can't expect everyone else to feel the same way we do about it. We all just have to understand that it's not for everyone."

Mia grabbed Glenn and began pulling him through the pool. "Well, if we're all being so open about our sex lives, Glenn, baby, please come back to the room with me so we can have hot, passionate sex." Glenn's eyes lit up and everybody laughed.

"I'll cheers to that!" I said, raising my glass. Everybody raised their glasses and cheered.

"We're in room 2132," Mia said. "I'll leave the curtains open a crack." She winked at me and Mandy then she and Glenn scurried off.

"Come on, Robert," Ariel called out to her husband. "Let's head back to our room. You've caused enough trouble today and I need a nap before dinner."

"Sure..." Eric chimed in. "A nap, huh?"

"Yes! A nap!" Ariel answered. "Don't get any ideas, Robert."

Robert raised his eyebrows up and down, sending us all into a laughing fit and Ariel into a blushing mess as she practically dragged Robert out of the pool.

"I think we are going to eat," I said to Madeline and Robert. "You guys can join us if you like. We ordered plenty of food."

"I think we are going to grab something from our room then head back down to the beach," Madeline answered. "I wasn't planning on taking a dip in the pool until I saw you in here. Thanks, though."

"Well, I guess we'll see you around then. It was nice to meet you, Eric."
