Chapter Five
As she stepped onto the balcony, she braced herself for the cool breeze she had come to expect from California night times. It wasn’t there. Instead, Barcelona’s humidity greeted her with surprise. Also surprising? The cheer from the street below when she moved over to the railing to stand beside Maria. She looked down to see two men, whistling and pumping their hands overhead. Her temporary bout of bravery was on the edge of dissipating immediately now that two strangers were looking at her completely naked, but, before that happened, Maria spoke up and distracted her.
“Men and their childish behavior,” Maria said, the disdain in her voice clear. She was standing with her back to Ashley, her hands on the railing. She clearly had no problem with putting her body on display though she apparently hated the reaction. Or does she like it? Ashley thought. “On any summer day, they can go to the beach and see a hundred nude women, but the moment they see one on a balcony in the middle of the city, they lose their mind.”
“Well,” Ashley walked up and stood beside her, “to be fair, they are seeing two nude women.”
Maria half-turned to her left and looked at Ashley top to bottom. She smiled widely. “I wondered whether Andres could convince you to get comfortable.”
“He didn’t, Ashley shook her head. “I made sure he got comfortable. And then I decided to get naked to drive him crazy.” She ran her free hand down her side and across her ass.
Maria nodded with delight. “I knew I was going to like you,” she said. Without warning or hesitation, she stepped over to Ashley, turned her body, and kissed her on the lips. Ashley was caught by surprise again, but this time, a little less so. And, now, there was a familiarity to Maria’s lips. Earlier, her body had tingled. This time, the tingling was more of a pulse, and she felt it between her legs.
The men below let out another shout, breaking the moment. Ashley rolled her eyes, as she pulled away. She turned to face them. Though the balcony railing and its balustrades obscured her body below the hip, her torso was well above the railing and clearly visible to the men below. She didn’t care. “Shut up,” she said, in English. Whether it was the tone of her voice or the shock of hearing a foreign language Ashley would never know, but they did as she commanded and went instantly silent.
“Nicely done,” Maria whispered in her ear. Her right breast was pressed against Ashley’s right arm. Ashley could feel the outline of Maria’s nipple, but her eyes remained on the men below. They remained silent, as if transfixed.
Ashley’s left hand swept through her hair, pushing it back. She could feel her nerve slipping, but she fought it. There she stood, naked, with two strangers looking at her tits, and another naked woman pressed against her. Maria’s tongue was starting to lick her earlobe ever so softly, and Ashley’s pussy was starting to react to everything around her. It was finally too much, but, instead, of running inside, she mustered her courage, below a kiss to the men below, and turned nonchalantly. “Let’s go back inside,” she told Maria, and led Maria back into the apartment through the balcony doors.
