Ambasciatore Romance (FF rom nosex)

Helen spread the towel out on the sun bed and sat on its side to
take off her sandals. She looked across at the pool; the clear
blue water looked very inviting. Although the sun was now past
its zenith it was still deceptively hot and with her pale skin
she knew she had to take care not to burn. Pulling the strapless
t-shirt over her head she stood and bent to ease her shorts down
past her hips and took them off. Underneath she was already
wearing her bikini.

Taking the sun tan lotion out of her shoulder bag she turned
toward the adjoining bed and said,

"Anna, would you put some cream on my back please?"

Anna looked up from her book and smiling at her friend said,

"Sure, give it here," she held out her hand.

Helen gave it to her and then lay face down on the sun bed.
Reaching behind her back she undid the strap of her bikini top
and lifting up took it off.

Pouring some cream into the palm of her hand, Anna spread it over
Helen's back, starting at the neck and shoulders, then working
her way down. Using both hands she utilized a circular motion to
work it into the pliant flesh, at the same time massaging her
friend gently with her finger tips.

"Mm, that feels good!" Helen murmured, her eyes closed.

Anna smiled and her finger tips roamed outwards and grazed the
sides of Helen's breasts. She was feeling playful and knew that
Helen would not object. Indeed her next words confirmed the
correctness of this assumption.

"Don't forget lower down as well."

Taking some more cream she worked it over Helen's legs and lower
back watching fascinated as it was absorbed by the glistening
skin that felt increasingly warm beneath her touch. Teasingly she
let her fingertips slide under the waist band of Helen's bikini
bottom eliciting a contented sigh before she announced,

"There, all done. Would you like me to do your front as well?"

Helen laughed, "No, I think I can manage that myself!" as she
turned over to lie on her back.

"So, what do you fancy doing tonight then?" asked Anna as they
came through the door of the four-star Ambasciatori Hotel in
Sorrento the next day after a busy afternoon of sightseeing.

"I'd like to have a hot shower, a romantic dinner for two and
then to make love" answered Helen casually.

"Who with?" replied Anna laughing and then blushed as she
realised the answer to her own question. Helen suppressed a
smile, amused at her friend's reaction.

"Oh...."

There was a difficult pause between them. Anna knew that Helen
was a lesbian but that had never been part of their relationship
or an issue between them. They had known each other since they
were children and had always got on well together. They were best
friends and had no secrets from one another, except perhaps for
one.

When Helen had suggested they went on holiday together to
Sorrento she made it clear that they would have separate rooms.
Anna would not have minded sharing a twin room with her since she
objected to paying the price of a single room supplement but, if
Helen was more comfortable that way, then she respected her
wishes.

The two girls could not have been more dissimilar really. They
both had long black hair, which they tied back during the day but
Helen was the taller of the two with long legs and a full figure
that could easily have given the appearance of being overweight
on a more slightly built woman. Her breasts were full and she
exuded a natural air of sensuality that fitted well with her
sense of humour. She was never at a loss for words. Anna on the
other hand was slimly built with small breasts and, being quite
shy, lived very much in Helen's shadow.

After a few moments Helen broke the silence between them,

"What do you say then?"

Anna still embarrassed replied,

"You've taken me a bit by surprise. Can I think about it over
dinner?

"Of course you can, but you are not saying no then?"

"I'm not saying no, although you know that's not really my scene.
You're the only woman I'd even consider doing it with."

"Aren't you just a little curious?"

"Perhaps," she answered blushing even more deeply "now go have
your shower and I'll meet you outside the dining room just before
seven."

They timed their arrival just right and the headwaiter led them
to one of the tables on the balcony next to the window looking
out onto a panoramic view of the Bay of Naples. On one horizon
was the Island of Capri, shrouded in mist, while opposite
Vesuvius loomed ominously above the towns on its slopes. The sun
was already low in the sky lighting the sea and clouds a glorious
gold.

The meal was excellent, in fact the quality of the food had been
one of the reasons they had chosen this hotel. The view was the
other. They drank a bottle of the local white wine between them.
It was quite a romantic situation, a fact that was not lost on
either of them.

As the waiter cleared the plates away and they sipped their
coffee, Helen said,

"Why don't we go out onto the terrace after?"

They stood side by side for a long time silently watching as the
sun sank inexorably toward the horizon, waiting for the moment
when it would be extinguished and dusk would come and the first
stars appear.

"What do you feel for me? I mean, is it just sex you are
suggesting or something more?" asked Anna suddenly.

Helen looked at her and said,

"You're my best friend and I think I've loved you ever since we
were at school together. But I've always been afraid to take it
any further with you. You've always made it clear that you
preferred boys and had various relationships. I didn't think I
had a chance with you."

"So what changed?"

"When you recently broke up with Gary we seemed to become even
closer and then you agreed to come away with me on this holiday.
We haven't done that for years. I realised that I'd never have a
better opportunity than this to tell you how I feel and would
always regret it if I chickened out yet again."

"And how is that exactly? I'd like to hear you say the words."

Helen looked into Anna's face and said, "I love you."

Anna gazed into Helen's eyes searching there for the truth of her
statement. What she saw was a transparent honesty edged with
vulnerability, a fear of rejection that was unaccustomed for
Helen who was usually so in control of herself.

Anna's throat felt tight as she replied,

"Why don't you kiss me . . . on the lips?"

Helen moved to stand close beside her and bent her head. Their
lips brushed, hesitant at first but gaining in passion as each
felt the other responding. Finally Anna broke away breathless.
She felt her heart pounding in her ears.

"Enough . . . I'm convinced!" she said laughing. Then lowering
her voice,

"Let's go up to your room and take all our clothes off!" A look
of relief passed over Helen's face and, with tears in her eyes,
she held Anna close to cover her emotion.

They held hands as they walked back into the hotel and stood
waiting by the lift to go up to Helen's room. The headwaiter
smiled knowingly as he watched them go, they looked so happy
together.
