Secrets and Lies

On the spur of the moment, my husband and I raced in a speedboat with our two best friends to Bimini in the Bahamas to skin dive, fish and enjoy the sun and the beautiful white sand beaches. The first thing we did was hit the bars for rum and conch chowder and camaraderie with the Bahamians who resided on the island. Our skin diving business was in the Bahamas but this trip was pure pleasure.

Stingray was a muscular man with a completely bald head and beautiful brown eyes with long lashes. Because he was a complete flirt, I valiantly tried to keep him at arm’s length so my husband wouldn’t get jealous. He was married for the fourth time to Kimmy, a blowsy blonde who was a lot of fun but a complete alcoholic. After a while, Kimmy said in her slurred voice that she and Stingray were going to the other side of the island where the white powder sands and turquoise waters were calling to them.

I finished my conversation with a Bahamian friend and then told my husband I was going back to the motel to change into my bathing suit. We were sharing a suite with our friends with two bedrooms and a bathroom in the middle dividing the rooms. I walked into our bedroom and stripped off my clothes, then remembered that I had lent Kimmy my hairbrush that was now in her bedroom. Since I was alone, I walked through the bathroom into their bedroom and was clear across the room when I noticed it was occupied.

There on the bed, nude, were Stingray , butt in the air, and an exposed but oblivious Kimmy, in the throes of passionate sex. Unfortunately, they noticed me at the same time as I noticed them so I couldn’t sneak back out!

There we were, three nude friends, looking at each other with shocked red faces. My only alternative was to walk back through the room, past their bed, into my room where I grabbed a towel and then rolled on my bed, laughing my head off. I could hear the two of them joining me in the laughter. I would tell you that we no longer had any secrets but we did keep one very big one. We never told my jealous husband.
