The spa's facial specialists tending to Bethany and Claire reentered the room just as Claire had dropped a bombshell on Bethany. The revelation that Claire had sought the assistance of Jack and his college girlfriend, Riley Evers, to help her learn more about sex, and more to the point, how to give herself an orgasm, had surely been overheard by the two young technicians. Both wore knowing smiles as they finished the facial treatments. While Bethany was reasonably certain the two young women had heard just about all the rather bawdy conversation, Claire seemed unconcerned.
Bethany was still trying to process this new information concerning Jack and Claire as they returned to the changing rooms and prepared for a steam in the sauna. She checked her phone and was pleased to see that Jack had replied to her earlier text about the possibility of her inserting her sex toy during the spa visit. She hoped Jack would have some time to control the vibrations using his phone app. Jack's response was a thumbs-up emoji followed by a smiley face with sunglasses. Bethany replied with a kissing emoji before sliding her phone and the tiny We-Vibe Jive device into the pocket of her plush robe.
Her initial instinct was to inform Jack that she now knew what Claire and he had 'done before,' as had been referenced in their discussion with Claire the previous night. She decided against it, for the moment, reasoning that she really didn't have all the details yet. She hoped Claire would be willing to continue that story as they shed their robes and wrapped themselves in towels. Bethany got a quick peek at Claire's trim figure from behind before she quickly hid it again with the towel. Claire was every bit as lovely nude as Bethany imagined after she had briefly glimpsed Claire's neatly trimmed black bush in the bathroom the night before.
Claire was trying to gauge Bethany's reaction to the rather shocking admission she had just shared. Bethany had definitely looked startled when she told her what she had asked of Jack and his girlfriend back in college. Bethany gave no indication that she was in any way bothered by this bit of news, despite the implications concerning her boyfriend's interaction with Claire some ten years or more in the past.
If anything, Bethany had proven to be open and understanding concerning the intimate stories that had been shared the previous evening. She sensed that Bethany was eager to hear more about this latest revelation. She was thankful for the fresh round of champagne, certain she would need it to summon the courage to relate to Bethany exactly what she had experienced with Jack and Riley.
Bethany wasn't certain if her phone would function in the sauna, or even if it was allowed, but took the chance and brought her robe, and the We-Vibe, along with her. Placing the robe down between herself and Claire, she settled back against the steamy wooden benches feeling delightfully relaxed and eager to hear more salacious details from Claire.
Claire had been running through the vivid memories of those days, and nights, she had spent with Jack and Riley. She hoped Bethany would continue to be as open as she had been since they met. She understood, though, that discovering intimate details about your current lover from someone who had shared in that past intimacy was rife with potential pitfalls. She resolved to tread lightly, if that were possible.
The champagne had them both feeling quite relaxed. A mild buzz, accentuated by the heat of the sauna, dissipated any remaining tension that may have existed between them. Bethany was content to allow Claire all the time she needed to sort through any second thoughts she might have about sharing more of the rather personal accounts of her activities with Jack and Riley.
Claire sensed that Bethany was waiting for her to resume their conversation. "I know this all must be a shock to you," she began, careful to read any defensiveness Bethany's body language. There was none. "Please stop me if any of this makes you uncomfortable."
