Chapter 18
"What?" she said, giving me a quizzical look. "Water's really warm, it was uncomfortable. And bikinis are for beaches, if even then. How do you put up with it?"
"Got me," I sighed, reaching down with my free hand and shimmying off my swim shorts before throwing them aside with hers. "Better?"
"Consider it gender equality," she said lightly, smiling. "So, what shall we do?"
I considered, trying not to sound apprehensive. "Anything that doesn't require me to stand up."
Alexa fell forward, giggling at my statement. "Oh, my God, you are too funny," she wheezed. "Well, that answers my question, we need to make you finally relax."
She rose out of the water facing away from me. I was treated to the sight of her magnificent ass. She turned her head and smiled at me. "This is my butt. I have one, just like everyone else."
"It isn't like everyone else's." I thought to myself.
She brought her hands back and gave her butt cheeks a squeeze and a bit of a bounce. She then turned around and cupped her breasts. "These are my boobs, I believe you've seen them before. And this..."
She now stepped a little closer to me and put one of her feet up on a sitting ledge, opening her legs to me. "This is Táohuāyuán."
In spite of my shock, I smiled. "That means 'peach blossom garden' in Mandarin."
She smirked at me, her legs not moving as she presented herself. "You know Mandarin?"
"Teaching myself," I replied, staring staring stupidly. She shaved her pussy and it now glistened at me, still wet from the hot tub. Her lips were perfect, the hood of her clit modestly covering its treasure. "Not that I'm really good, but I like to think I'm making progress."
"Well then," she said, lowering her leg casually and standing in front of me. "You'll have to teach me."
"I...might not be any good at that," I said haltingly. "I can-"
She now leaned in and pressed my face between her breasts, holding me there so I almost couldn't breathe. I struggled for just a moment before realizing that was completely stupid of me.
"You... will... give... auntie... what... she... wants..." Alexa said firmly, still holding me in place. "Am I achieving clarity?"
I mumbled a response and gave her a thumbs up. She released me and and I fell back into my seat, taking deep breaths and shaking my head to clear it. I finally exhaled deeply and she sat down next to me and looked at me, one arms resting on the edge of the hot tub while she traced a fingernail over my pecs.
"It's not going to be this difficult to get you to relax all the time, is it?" she asked.
"No," I replied finally. "You're just... unusually liberated about things, I guess."
She shrugged. "I'm not claiming the all European ways are superior to the ones we have here, but there are things I grew up with and have no intention of relinquishing, one of which is to not be so uptight about the human body. I know I can't be like that all the time, but I'm hoping I can at least be like that around you."
"Trust me, I'm not objecting," I said. "I'm just playing catch up, you know?"
"Good," she said. "Your turn. Stand up."
I was very quite for several moments. "That's... not a good idea."
"Because we're naked in a jacuzzi and we've kissed and I nearly suffocated you with my boobs so now you're turned on?" she said plainly. "Well, how do you know I wasn't when I showed myself to you?"
"Harder to tell with a girl," I muttered. "Especially when you're in the water."
"Okay, fair point," she laughed. "At least that proves you're not a virgin. Still, there's no point in being neurotic about it, I'm not going to freak out because you have a hard-on."
I sighed again. "Because you'd be embarrassed if I didn't, right? Fair enough..."
I moved forward in the water and stood, facing away from her. She got a good view of my toned butt before I slowly turned around, my massive erection bobbing above the water. A huge, almost giddy smile played across her face before she giggled.
"Good thing you moved away before you turned around or you'd have put my eye out," she said cheerfully. "That tent post you were pitching this morning wasn't a lie, you're really hung, Alex."
"Thanks," I said, rubbing the back of my head but actually feeling myself relax with her scrutiny. "Wish I could claim credit for it, but it's just what I was given."
"Well, it suits the rest of you perfectly," she purred, patting the seat next to her and allowing me to sit again. "I'm really hoping that you and I can be casual around each other, Alex, because with other people around, it won't be possible and I'll miss it."
"I understand." I said. "I'd be happy to, just give me a knowing wink or something if I'm going all provincial on you."
"Of course," she said, leaning in and hugging me. "Here, let me rub your shoulders, you're tense."
She moved me down onto a lower seat and then sat above me, her legs on either side of my body. She began rubbing my shoulders with her hands, which kneaded into the meat where I seemingly had knots I didn't know were there. The warmth of her body so close to me kept me hard and I was glad I was sitting deep in the water.
"You're very strong," she said softly, still massaging. "I love how your body feels."
"You're really good at massage," I murmured, relaxing in spite of my boner. "You've got a magic touch."
"Karen says you're a natural too," she whispered, her mouth near my ear. "You'll have to reciprocate for me one day."
We were silent for some time while she massaged my neck, shoulders and upper back. Finally, she hugged herself to me, her breasts squashing into my back and her face next to mine.
"Feel better?" she asked.
"My shoulders feel great," I said readily. "Thank you."
"Well at least some of you is relaxed now," she quipped. "You'll have your work cut out for you later."
I blinked. "Come again?"
"Pardon the expression," she said, giggling. "I was saying that you've got some major tension issues elsewhere, Alex, getting rid of it will be a challenge."
"What? Oh..." I said, finally cluing in as to what she was talking about. "Yeah, that'll... take some work."
She laughed. "You're allowed to say you masturbate, Alex, it's fine. God knows I do often enough, it keeps me sane. And with all the change happening in my life right now, I am going to be doing it a lot, I imagine."
