Appealing to the eyes – 3

“Wow…spectacular view!” Maria commented, stepping out as just then the front door opened, both Stella and Max Stepping out to greet us, each giving us affectionate hugs, which surprised me a little as Maxand I briefly embraced likewise shaking hands.

“Come in! Come in!” Stella said excitedly leading us through the extravagant looking foyer further into the house. A spiral staircase off to one side leading up to the second and third levels of the home from the looks of it. “I’ll take you for a short tour later if you’d like,” she informed us, but Maxs got dinner on the barbeque just about done and waiting for us. Thought we’d have a quick drink before it’s already out on the veranda.”

I noticed as we followed, that both were wearing comfortable looking lightweight robes, and very little else by the looks of it. Confirmation came when we seated ourselves down, and Stella proceeded to pour us both a glass of wine, leaning forward a bit. As she did, it was clearly seen as a portion of one breast nearly bared itself, that she had little if anything else on.

“Suddenly, I feel…overdressed,” Maria quipped, joking with her having seen what I obviously had myself. Even Max Turned from the barbeque just turning the Salmon he was fixing for dinner, commenting on that.

“And she had to convince me to wear even this much,” he stated in that smooth, almost seductive sounding accent of his. “Most of the time…you’ll find us au naturale, as it were. Especially having as much privacy as we do up here.”

“I can see that,” I agreed once again taking in the surrounding grounds, the only open area actually facing the ocean, their hot tub perched on a nice wooden deck, that momentarily caused me concern looking at it as I wandered over. Although well supported, part of it seemed suspended out over the edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean below.

“You like?” Stella said, coming up from behind me as I stood there looking down over the cliffs.

“It’s very beautiful…but don’t you have concerns about it being parked out here like this?” I had to ask once again looking at the supports holding it up on one side, and the hundred foot drop off from there.

“We’ve never really had any problems or concerns with it. Those braces aren’t really wood…but reinforced cement that’s been made to look like and match the deck. I can assure you, it’s perfectly safe. But even should anything ever happen…while in it, it would be one hell of a way to go…yes?”

Now it was my turn to laugh because it certainly would be.

“We’ve had parties with as many as eight to ten people inside it,” she assured me. “And short of a devastating earthquake, or the end of the world,” she added grinning. “It’s not moved an inch since we put it up here.”

I was still dubious, but the view was admittedly spectacular. Already the sun was beginning to grow close to the horizon, promising an equally fantastic view of a sunset only a short time away now.

“And wait until you see all the stars, and can listen to the ocean below us while we’re out here,” she smiled, taking my arm heading back to where Maria and Maxnow sat waiting for us to join them. “It’s really quite romantic, and erotic,” she further grinned, “as hopefully you two will see.”

I could only agree with her, once again reminded of the possibilities of the evening, and the invite we’d been given. After the previous night with Mike, Maria and I were now curiously interested to see what this night might bring. With the excellent dinner, wine…and scenery serving as an appetizer, I found myself more than looking forward to whatever might happen.
