Sawa-i-Lau Caves

A

fter bending around the island toward where they’d come ashore, Liam discovered that he might need to be a little more circumspect about kissing all four women while in the caves. They weren’t the only people here for the tour. Two other boats lounged by the shore, held in place by ropes fastened to some poles stuck deep in the sand. Their crew hung about on the beach, seated at some picnic-style tables and chatting while they waited for the return of their passengers.

These passengers seemed to have already headed into the squat building directly ahead. Made entirely of grey limestone, it had a metal door that currently hung open. After stepping onto the land, Liam and the others spent a few minutes collecting their snorkeling gear. He had his own, brought along on the trip, which was finally ready for use. The others had gotten some from the resort.

Once they were situated, Liam and the others headed toward the building, ignoring the stares from the predominantly male audience lounging on the beach. They climbed up some steps and walked toward the open entrance. A Fijian woman who looked only a few years older than Avril and Anna smiled and greeted them. She explained that she’d be their tour guide and that they could head on down and join the others.

So down they went. Walking upon stairs cut from the stone, they descended. Practically immediately, they encountered an obstacle: a large rock outcropping that cut off their vision of what was beyond. A roughly three-foot gap between it and the steps prompted them to share a look.

“Sucks for the taller ones,” Avril chortled.

One by one, however, they each squatted, turned, and slipped under the rock. They emerged onto more stairs, though they all shifted to their right, moving onto a wide platform that overlooked the pool at the bottom of the stairs. Six others stood there, in the process of stripping down to their swimwear. Once Liam and the others arrived, things became a little crowded, though the earlier arrivals were kind enough to move back onto the steps for them after they had undressed. Two of them, an older couple who did nothing but smile as they looked around the limestone cavern, even decided to slip into the turquoise water and test its warmth. As their smiles remained, Liam assumed it was hardly any chillier than he’d come to expect from Fiji’s warm waters.

After removing his shirt and slides, Liam was ready to go. Holding onto his snorkeling gear, he could have joined the strangers on the stairs, giving the others a little more room to maneuver. But why would he do that? In what universe would he ever willingly separate from Anna, Avril, Tess, and Victoria? Especially when they were about to remove their clothing.

He received a few knowing looks as he stayed by them, but most were accompanied by equally knowing smiles. Even Victoria, in a show of overtness about their newfound relationship, made sure to give him the best angles as she withdrew her shirt and shimmied out of her shorts.

Today mainly consisted of repeats. He’d seen most of these bikinis on their first day in Fiji, when they’d all slathered themselves up in mud and hit the hot springs. These were clearly the most functional sets that the women had brought along, revealing by nature of how stunning and voluptuous they all were, but not overly risqué. Which, given that they’d all known there’d at least be a tour guide present, made sense.

Yet, Liam still gleefully absorbed the sights he was given. As Victoria, standing nearest to him, bent over and placed her shirt atop her shorts, he stared at her shapely butt. His hand twitched excitedly, though he would have needed to get a little closer to touch her. Before he could decide to do so, she glanced at him, appearing fully aware of what he was considering.

Her lips curled at the corners, which was practically a full-blown grin from her. She stayed bent over for a second longer, then straightened, turning to let him ogle her tremendous tits. He’d done so much with them this morning, yet he wasn’t even close to being satiated. There was a bottomless pit in him when it came to loving Victoria’s breasts. He could feed it for a thousand mornings, yet it’d still grow no closer to becoming filled.

“You’re so sexy,” he said, speaking quietly, knowing his voice might echo in the caves if he wasn’t careful.

“And yet it was Avril’s neck you were busy with during our trip,” Victoria replied, eyes piercing him.

“I’ll make it up to you when we’re back on the boat.”

Victoria shrugged coyly and turned her attention toward the other professor in the group.

If there had been any chance of reining him in, Victoria needed to be the strait-laced one. Among the four women joining him in Fiji, if there was anyone who might have frowned at how much debauchery would take place here, it could have only been her. But as she’d clearly succumbed to being just as salacious as the others, that ship had pretty much sailed. It could only have been her. For it certainly never could have been Tess Williams.

The oldest woman here, just having dipped her toes into her forties, might be the one who’d most looked forward to how much sex there’d be on this vacation. She had a pretty good reason to want to indulge a little, having gone without any romance in her life over the past several years. She’d finally escaped her loveless marriage, finally unchained herself from an undeserving scowl of a human being. And then, with Avril’s help, her next-door neighbor had found the courage to declare his love for her.

Since then, there’d been very little reason for either of them to slow down. Finally with the woman of his dreams, Liam chased a record, having boldly declared he’d become her most prolific partner. And Tess was making up for lost time, happily taking advantage of the fact that her much younger lover had a libido capable of matching her own. They made an excellent pairing.

And it wasn’t going to end anytime soon. Liam’s excitement expanded as he got a good view of Tess’s backside. He nearly drooled because of what he saw: a woman who was unfairly curvaceous, perfectly shaped, stunningly defined. She was so perfect an hourglass that Liam’s eyes slid down her curves just from trying to take them in. He knew better than anyone how dangerously addictive those curves could be.

And he was addicted. In love, too, more and more with each passing day. He loved Tess deeply, profoundly, growing excited whenever their eyes connected, overjoyed when she leaned her cheek against his shoulder on her couch. But he was also addicted.

To making love with her, to running his lips across her smooth, soft skin, which was already on its way to obtaining a nice vacation tan. It was another bottomless pit. He had a few of those inside of him.

The first would always belong to Tess. It had existed for years, isolated and never expecting anything worthwhile to be tossed into it. Now, he fed it on the regular. Combined with the others within him, Liam had come to know a joy bordering on unfairness. Selfish as he now knew himself to be, he had no intention of sharing.

Tess caught him watching her. Her eyes shimmered with love in them. They were like deep pools of water, boundlessly blue, though not quite like the current pool of water standing nearby. That one was far more see-through than Liam had expected, remaining an easily visible turquoise color thanks to the sunlight peering in through an enormous opening in the cavern’s faraway roof. Along with the others, he’d enter it in a few minutes. Tess was one of the reasons he delayed doing so.

“Excited for a swim?” Tess asked lightly, bringing herself over to him.

“Yeah, the swim,” Liam said, nodding in an exaggerated way. “That’s what it is.”

Tess chuckled and glanced past him. “It’s a shame we’re not the only ones on the tour, though it was always an unlikely hope.”

“Why’s that?”

Tess’s dark blue eyes flashed with amusement. “You know why.”

“I really don’t,” he lied, shrugging.

Glancing past him a second time, checking that no one was paying too much attention to them, Tess leaned toward him. Her voice transformed into an arousing whisper as she set her lips near his ear.

“Because I want to experience what it’s like to be kissed—deeply kissed—while in an underwater cave?” She pulled back, raising an eyebrow. “Isn’t it the same for you?”

“It is,” Liam said, wondering if Avril and Tess were just of the same mind today or if they’d planned things. Both wanted the same thing. He was more than willing to grant their wishes. He intended to go further, as Avril had suggested. “So, just wait. I’ll find a way.”

Tess smiled, expectant and hopeful. “I’ll be waiting.”

She slid by him, trailing her fingertips across his abdomen. She and Victoria became the first among their group to start heading toward the water. Their tour guide had also joined them, suggesting that things would soon begin.

But I’ve got time, Liam thought, eyes drifting away from the gorgeous professors as they slipped into the pool. They converged upon the youngest woman in the group. Right then and there, Liam decided he’d kiss her first.

Like he had with Tess, Anna saw him coming. Her smile, formed by a pair of lips that were unfairly distracting, constantly inciting him to want to kiss her, sped up his step. He checked over his shoulder. Everyone else was in the process of slipping into the pool. He had his opportunity.

And he took it. The moment he reached the only remaining woman on the platform, he kissed her. Shock flared within Anna’s eyes, which were the pair that most closely matched the vivid hue of the nearby pool. But then acceptance came. Eagerness after.

The gorgeous, dark-haired young woman pressed herself into him. Shortest among the four women, she raised herself onto her toes for a better experience. Liam gladly set his hands on her curvaceous hips, supporting her as they kissed.

She held to him, delighted, and threw all her passion into the kiss. Brief as it was, it was enough to leave Liam’s heart thudding. He grinned as they pulled apart, then synchronized their look toward the others in the cave. No one seemed to have noticed.

One of four, Liam thought, swirling his thumb on Anna’s smooth side as he lingered near her.

“Was that for any particular reason?” Anna asked, eyes shimmering with such provocative beauty. They were so alluring and unique. He could say the same about a few aspects of this remarkable woman.

She was a woman of weapons, much like the others in the group. From her eyes to her lips to her figure, she could have strutted around like Avril did—and been just as effective. However, Anna was far more restrained than her best friend.

Yet, that was beginning to change. She was growing less and less reserved with each new day, riding a trajectory much like the one he was experiencing, trailing behind him like the vaporous tail of a rocket exiting the atmosphere. Yesterday afternoon, when she’d snuck him away from the others and given him an amazing blowjob, was proof that she was eager to catch up to the others.

“Because you’re my girlfriend,” Liam said, still grinning. “Isn’t that reason enough to want to kiss you every second of the day?”

“I suppose,” Anna said, blushing just a little. “Will there be more?”

“Is that even a question?”

Anna smiled and shrugged. “You might get distracted, like you were on the boat ride with Avril.”

“Did everyone notice that? I thought I was being subtle.”

“Everyone,” Anna confirmed. “Tess and I have decided you’ll sit up front with us on the ride to our next location.”

Liam made a face. “Well… I sort of promised to give Victoria some attention then.”

Anna pursed her lips. “Isn’t she getting enough alone time with you already? You two are together every night.”

It became Liam’s turn to shrug, though he did so apologetically. “I’ll make sure to be more evenhanded throughout the rest of the day.”

“See that you do,” Anna said, then kissed him again.

Shortly thereafter, they became the final two people entering the pool. Letting Anna go ahead of him, Liam found himself somewhat amused by how undisguised Anna had become about wanting time with him. Their relationship had gone through so many permutations, only to land on this rather wonderful one.

All this had stemmed from a conversation in a parking lot, in which Anna had requested that they feign interest in each other for a little while. That lie had become the truth. Because here they now stood, openly a couple, openly head over heels about each other.

After Anna slipped into the water, Liam waited for her to make room for him. The water was cooler than he expected, but not chilly, and Liam made ripples as he slid in. The starting area was more than spacious enough for the dozen bodies treading water in it, and tunnels branched out in multiple directions from it. Affixing his snorkeling gear in place, Liam glided over to Anna and the others.

The cave’s limestone walls, mostly smooth, stretched dozens of feet above them. However, there were some rocky protrusions that others in the tour group clung onto, listening as their tour guide launched into some of the lore and history of the caves. Liam and the others listened, craning their heads up toward the opening in the cave as the tour guide spoke of a legend involving an enormous hawk, a kidnapped princess, and her prince.

Liam treaded water between Anna and Victoria, so he could only keep his head up for so long. The two busty women didn’t seem all that concerned as he shifted his hands—one at a time, so he didn’t start sinking—around their waists and pulled them a little closer. He received glances, one surprised, the other cool, but that was all.

With the rest of the room focusing on the tour guide, who was pointing at the vertical striations on the limestone walls and discussing some geological facts, Liam could bring both women to him. He couldn’t do much more, needing to focus on keeping his head above water, but he could feel their breasts bumping against his arms—both women had turned slightly, instigating that additional bit of bliss.

“You’re distracting us from learning about the caves,” Victoria said. Yet, she stayed snuggled against him, eyes like sheer ice focused on him, not their tour guide.

“Is that so wrong?”

“It depends on why you’re doing it.”

“I wanted to chat with the two of you,” he said.

“Is that all?”

“Yes.”

Victoria stared directly at him.

“It is,” he protested quietly. “I wanted to bring up the tennis match.”

“What about it?” Anna asked curiously.

“You two are going to win, right?”

“Possibly,” Victoria said. “Based on how Avril reacted when she didn’t get to have Anna on her team, she must be very good.”

“I’m okay—I’m pretty good,” Anna said, changing her response when both he and Victoria narrowed their eyes at her. She still had a thing about downplaying her abilities, even though she repeatedly proved to be in possession of a wide range of skills.

More and more by the day, Liam thought, briefly reminiscing about yesterday.

“Biased as it makes me, I do want you two to win.”

“And why is that?” Victoria asked.

“So I can give you two the prize I have in mind.”

The women shared a look. Their interest, even Victoria’s, though of a milder variety, was visible to him.

“Would you care to elaborate?” Victoria said.

“Share the reward early?” Liam said. “I can’t do that.”

“It could help motivate us,” Anna said, blushing as he raised an eyebrow and grinned at her. Yes, he was quite coming to enjoy Anna’s bolder attitude. Probably in the same way that Tess and Avril had enjoyed seeing his metamorphosis.

“You’ll get the reward the night of the match,” Liam said. “And I think you’ll both enjoy it equally. That’s all I’ll say, though.”

“That’s not much,” Victoria pointed out.

“I know, but I want to maintain a little bit of a surprise.”

“How Avril of you,” the busty professor said dryly.

“I think it’s fine,” Anna said. “You’re not going to cheat, though, are you? I think Avril and Tess would be very upset—and deservedly so—if you made us win.”

“I’ll play it fair and impartial,” Liam said. “Or try to be. I’ve never officiated a tennis match.”

Anna smiled, satisfied. She glanced at Victoria. “We can talk a little strategy later, maybe?”

“We can,” Victoria said. “I’m very likely to be rusty, so if we can find a chance to practice a little, that could improve our chances.”

Anna nodded agreeably. “If there’s still some daylight when we get back today, we could sneak over. The resort has rackets. They looked to be of an okay quality, so it’ll help me if I can practice some with them beforehand.”

The two women stayed by him, whispering conspiratorially about the upcoming tennis match. Liam was thrilled that his motivation had struck the right spot. Because he did want them to win. The reward he had in mind, well, it would be particularly potent if Anna and Victoria were the women who claimed it.

Soon, something called an end to their quiet planning. Their tour guide had finished her history lesson. Next, she offered to guide them to the second cave they could visit. This one would require a trip underwater.
