   One of the presents that my boyfriend Ryosuke gave me for my birthday
last year was two gift certificates to a spring water spa in Oceanview
Village, this trendy shopping street uptown.  I found out about it on the
internet, and told him I was interested in going, and he remembered.  I'd
been to Oceanview Village a couple of times before, and I really like the
atmosphere.  There are like all these cafes with patios, patisseries,
esthetic salons and boutique inns, all nestled along this tree-lined
boulevard away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  It reminds me a bit
of Omotesandou in Tokyo (near Harajuku).

   The thing that really attracted me to this spa was that they had a
whirlpool and small swimming pool right there in the spa.  I'd never been
to a spa in the States before, but I'd been wanting to try.  I invited my
best friend Satomi to come along.  I booked an appointment for the two of
us for a weekday afternoon.  Ryosuke said he might drop by too if he had
the time.

   When we got there, it turned out to be quite the place.  The lobby was
big and modern with glass, stone and wood paneling.  Inside there were all
these tropical plants and soft soothing new age music playing.  I looked
over at Satomi, and we both giggled.  I don't think either of us had been
to such a fancy place before, at least not in the States.

   Both Satomi and I were a bit nervous because we weren't exactly sure
what we were supposed to do.  The receptionist explained a bit, and tried
to put us at ease.  She gave us a towel and bath robe each, and showed us
to a private room upstairs.  There were two cots inside, more plants and a
window looking out over the trees in the street.  The room had a clean
fresh scent like lavender or something.

   "You can get changed, and the esthetician will be here soon," she
assured us.  She left us there, and the two of us just kind of stood there
for a while soaking it all in.  I walked over to the window, and peered out
at the boulevard below.  There were a few well-dressed American women
walking this way and that, but in general, it was pretty quiet.  Satomi
looked over at me skittishly.

   "What's wrong?" I asked.

   "Oh nothing.  I was just wondering what we are supposed to do."

   "Get undressed, and wait, I guess."

   Satomi looked over at me somewhat gravely.  I started undoing my blouse,
and eventually, she started getting undressed too.

   "Have you ever been here before?" she asked anxiously.

   "No, but it seems like a nice place, don't you think?"

   "Yeah," she mused looking around.  "I guess."

   I peeled off my blouse and jeans and then my bra and panties.  Satomi
was looking at me a bit strangely perhaps because I was undressing so close
to the window.  I was in a bit of a playful mood.  Eventually, I moved away
from the window, and plopped my bare behind down on the soft sheets of the
cot.  I felt a bit weird though, sitting here naked, so eventually I picked
up my towel, and wrapped it around me.  Satomi took off her own clothes
looking so embarrassed the whole time.  At first, she kept her underwear
on.

   "Um, I think if you want to get a full body treatment, you'll probably
have to take those off too," I informed her.  She pouted, but finally
pulled on the robe, and took off her bra and panties.  She lay back on the
cot, and closed her eyes.

   Eventually, the esthetician came, and I was so surprised because it was
a man!  I hastily pushed my towel down, covering up my pussy.  He looked a
bit surprised too.

   "Oh, sorry.  I-I-I thought you were going to be a woman," I stammered,
nervously trying to straighten out the towel.

   "Oh.  Uh, no.  Jenny's busy with another client right now.  Would you
like to wait?" he asked.  I finally got my towel straight, and took a
better look at him.  He was American, not that tall, but with strong
looking arms.  He had longish brown hair, and was actually pretty handsome.
Satomi was just lying there, in shock it looked like, so finally I said,

   "No, that's all right.  It's no big deal I guess.  It's just that it's
our first time here, so we didn't really know what to expect." It would be
nice to be massaged by a handsome guy.

   "Um, my name is Jonathan," he told us.

   "Nice to meet you," I giggled.  "I'm Emi, and that's Satomi."

   He nodded, and lifted his clipboard trying to act professional.

   "It says here you both wanted the revitalizing skin treatment and a full
body massage, is that right?" he intoned.  Satomi hesitated, but I nodded.

   "Yes, that's right."

   "OK, if you don't mind, I'll put on the lotion first.  It's our own
special blend of aloe vera, vitamin E, herbs and citrus.  It'll restore
your skin's natural resiliency, and leave you feeling refreshed and
invigorated.  Which of you would like to be first?"

   Satomi looked all panicky, so I said,

   "OK, you can do me first." I stood up, but hesitated unsure how I should
get up onto the cot.  I was clutching the towel where I'd tied it, but it
wasn't very big.  I eyed him nervously.  "Um...  like I said, this is our
first time, so do you think you could explain a bit how this is supposed to
go?"

   "Just lie face down on the cot."

   "I meant what should I do with this towel?  Should I take it off?" I
asked a bit mischievously.  I knew I shouldn't, but I was getting excited
at the thought of showing him my naked body.

   "It's up to you.  I can work under it if you like," he went on.  I know
he is a professional who does this all the time, but I couldn't help
wondering if he was getting excited too.

   "Well, I guess I don't need it." I turned away, and let the towel fall
open showing him my bare behind.  I peered back at him, wondering what he
thought of my body.  For a split second, a hint of a smile appeared on his
lips, but he quickly switched back to his professional look.  I felt a bit
disappointed.  I guess I was hoping for more of a reaction.

   "Do most of your customers get massaged naked?" Satomi asked shocked.

   "Quite a few.  But then again not many of them are as young and lovely
as you two," he smiled.  He did seem willing to flirt, but he was taking
this all in stride.  I guess he was more used to this situation.  I felt
kind of nervous, but I pulled the towel away completely, and lay face down
on the cot.  He peered down at my bare bottom as he poured lotion into his
hands.  I was already getting excited, and he hadn't even touched me yet.

   He started with my shoulders gently rubbing the lotion in.  I tried hard
to relax, but it wasn't so easy.  His hands felt so warm and soft.  Slowly
he worked his way down my back.  As he began massaging my butt cheeks, I
got more nervous again.  Satomi was freaking out watching this guy slapping
and rubbing my bare bottom.

   "Here, spread your legs," he instructed.

   I glanced back at him, a bit shocked.  Was he asking me to show him my
pussy?  Was he going to massage that too?  He looked pretty calm though. 
It didn't look like he had a hard-on.  Perhaps I was being too suspicious.
I slowly spread my legs, and he rubbed the lotion into my inner thighs.  I
was getting more and more excited.  I wonder if he's gay.  That would
explain how he could be so calm.  I'd better not ask though.  It might seem
rude.

   He was careful not to touch my most sensitive areas, but even so, it
felt weird having him finger me down between my legs.  He slowly shifted to
my thighs and down my legs, and I finally started to relax again.  I hoped
he hasn't noticed how wet I was getting.

   He came back, and did my arms next, and then the back of my neck and my
scalp.  He was so skillful.  It really did feel good.  When he was done, he
motioned for me to roll over.  I hesitated for a moment a bit embarrassed
to show him my pussy.  He waited patiently, but he still had Satomi and
other customers waiting, so I finally rolled over.  It felt really strange
lying here face to face.  I was trying to act calm, but my breasts were
quite obviously bigger from the excitement.  I've got to settle back down.

   He started in on my feet, but I nearly freaked when he lifted up my
ankle, and rotated it outwards, making me spread my legs.  He was trying
not to stare at my pussy, but even so, I felt terribly exposed and
vulnerable.  Was he doing this on purpose?  Satomi looked on gravely
worried about what he might do to her.  He massaged up my ankles, calves
and thighs, and was now staring directly at my pussy.

   "You seem to be in pretty good shape.  Do you work out?" he asked.  I
was so mortified I didn't know what to say.

   "I swim," I finally replied, biting my lip in embarrassment.  Without
really wanting to, I found myself picturing what he'd be like as a lover.
His hands were soft and sure, always finding exactly the right place.  He
gently massaged my tummy, and then skipped over my breasts.  I guess they
must have rules against that kind of thing, but without thinking, I grabbed
his wrist, hinting that he could if he wanted to.  He glanced nervously at
the door, gave my tits a playful little squeeze, and then moved back up to
my shoulders.  I peered up into his eyes, signaling he could do more, but
Satomi was right there staring at us.  I felt frustrated, but he was of
course right that we shouldn't fool around in front of her.  I let go of
his hand, and lay back, savoring his last few touches before he finished
massaging my face.  When he was done, all I could say was "thanks."

   He turned to work on Satomi next.  Still naked, I sat up, and swung my
legs over to watch.  My whole body was tingling.  I rubbed some of the
excess lotion over my breasts and down between my legs.  I know it was just
a massage, but anyway, I wasn't really used to being touched by a strange
man while I was naked.  I could still feel his hands on my body.

   Satomi was lying in her robe on her cot face down, looking really tense.
Noticing her anxiety, Jonathan nodded at her robe, and smiled,

   "You can leave it on if you like." He calmly started working on her
feet, kneading the lotion into her flesh.  She looked a bit anxious at
first, but eventually, she lay flat, and relaxed a bit.  However, by the
time he reached her thighs, it was obvious that the robe was getting in the
way.

   "Here could you loosen your robe?  I'd like to work on your back next,"
he said.

   Satomi looked over at me, all panicky, but eventually she did as he
asked.  He slowly peeled the robe off her shoulders.  It got all tangled up
in her arms, so he finally suggested,

   "Um, do you think you could switch to a towel?"

   She looked over at me uncertainly, but I nodded for her to go ahead.  I
didn't know what she was making such a big deal over.  I was sitting here
stark naked for heaven's sakes.  Jonathan was focusing on Satomi.  He
didn't seem bothered by my nudity.  Satomi rolled over, and sat up, eyeing
him defensively.  He took the hint, and turned away, while she took off her
robe, and wrapped the towel around her.

   Soon she lay back down, and he started working on her shoulders.  He
obviously wanted to go further down her back, but she'd tied the towel on
so tightly he couldn't get his fingers underneath.

   "Um," he hesitated.  Still naked, I walked over, and motioned for her to
roll over a bit, so I could loosen the knot.  She looked so embarrassed as
she struggled to keep covered up.  I got the knot loose, and she carefully
lay back down on her front.  I gently pulled the towel down to uncover her
back, but I went a bit too far.  The bottom corner sort of fell open
exposing her bare backside.

   "Kyaa!" she squealed, covering her bare bottom with her hands.  Jonathan
tried to calm her, but it looked to me like something was stirring in his
pants.  Eventually, we got her to move her hands, so he could work.

   "There, there.  It's OK," I whispered to her softly.  She still seemed
tense, but eventually, closed her eyes, and tried to relax.  Jonathan was
still having trouble working around her towel, so I gave it a little tug
pulling it right off.  Satomi has such a cute behind, round and full and
spankable.  Even Jonathan seemed impressed.  She has a good body, I think.
I don't know why she makes such a big deal about hiding it.

   I touched Jonathan's shoulder, querying what he thought of her bottom.
He just gave me this pained expression, apparently forbidden from getting
drawn into anything sexual.  His reticence just made me want to tease him
more.  I leaned forward pretending to be watching him work, but mainly
dangling my breasts for him to ogle.  He wouldn't bite though, so
eventually I gave up trying, and walked back over to the window.

   I looked out at the street wondering where Ryosuke was.  There were a
few people walking by outside.  When I turned back, I caught Jonathan
sneaking a peek at my backside.  I was glad he appreciated some parts of me
at least.

   "Where's the swimming pool?" I asked.  Satomi rolled to the side,
worried about what I might be planning.  Jonathan gestured toward the back
of the building.

   "Downstairs," he noted.

   "Thanks." I picked up one of my sandals, and slid it on, but Jonathan
refused to look at me as long as I was facing him.  Satomi closed her eyes,
squirming a bit as he massaged her lower back.  I turned away from them,
and leaned down to fish out my other sandal.  Jonathan peered down at my
upturned ass.  I stayed bent over like that for some time, as I did up the
buckles on my shoes, but by the time I straightened up, Jonathan had turned
back to Satomi.

   Before long, I heard Ryosuke's voice coming from the front desk.  I
quickly wrapped my towel around me, and told Satomi,

   "I'll be right back." She shot me a panicked look, not wanting to be
left alone with Jonathan, but I nodded that it would be OK.  Struggling to
get my towel done up, I peeked out into the hall.  No one seemed to be
around, so I quickly scooted out and then down the stairs.  The
receptionist was giving Ryosuke a hard time at the desk.  I explained to
her that he was with us, and had come to use the pool.  He paid the pool
fee, and she finally let me bring him in.  I gave him a gentle kiss, and
motioned for him to be quiet as I led him up.  I stopped at our door, and
opened it a crack, letting him see Satomi naked.

   "Wow!  How'd you manage that?" he whispered obviously excited.  I
quietly shut the door, and joked,

   "I have my ways.  Anyway, let's go downstairs, and see if we can find
the swimming pool."

   I dragged Ryosuke along through the halls, but he was all horny now.  He
kept flipping up the back of my towel trying to get a peek at me.  There
didn't seem to be anyone else in the halls, so it didn't matter, but I
still felt a bit nervous.

   Soon enough we found the pool.  It wasn't terribly big, but it was a
beautiful design.  It looked like it was made of marble.  The plants and
lighting gave the whole area the feel of a tropical resort.  No one seemed
to be around at all.  I tiptoed over to the edge, and dipped my toe in.

   "How is it?" Ryosuke asked, pulling off his shirt.

   "Yeah, pretty nice." I debated whether I should go back to the room for
my swimsuit, but it looked like Ryosuke hadn't even brought one.  I peeked
out the entrance and down the hall.

   "Um, Ryosuke.  I don't know if we're really allowed to..."

   "It'll be fine," he assured me pulling off his pants and underwear and
slipping into one of the shower stalls at the side.  Luckily, it was still
early in the day, and there didn't seem to be much of anyone around.  I
ducked into a different stall, and took off my towel, but soon Ryosuke came
over too, and started rubbing up against my naked body.

   "Ryosuke!" I squealed, trying to escape as he tickled me.  We were both
so turned on by then.  I finally rinsed the soap off, and ran out onto the
pool deck.  I felt so incredibly naughty.  I was a bit worried that someone
might come in, and see me here naked, so I finally dove into the pool.  I
swam a length or two with Ryosuke chasing after me.  Down at the far end,
he finally caught up to me, and wrapped his arms around me.  I could feel
his peter bumping between my legs, but I didn't think we should do it in
the pool.  At the back, I noticed this door propped open with a door jam.

   "What's that?" I asked trying to distract him.  He paused long enough
for me to slip out of his grasp.  I climbed up out of the water, and walked
over to the door.  There was quite a breeze blowing in, but outside all I
could see was what looked like a bamboo wall.

   "Hey, Emi.  Where are you going?" he called after me.

   I leaned up against the door frame, and peeked out around the corner. 
It was hard to see, but it looked like it was some kind of parking lot
running behind the spa and other stores on the block.  It was getting me
even more excited standing naked by the open door.  There didn't seem to be
much of anyone around, so I gathered my courage, and stepped down onto the
asphalt.  It felt cool and prickly on the soles of my bare feet.

   "Whoa, Emi?  Wait!  Wait!" Ryosuke called out.  I smiled back at him
nervously, but I was already too far gone to think sensibly.  I padded over
to the edge of the bamboo wall, and peered out around the end.  It was
indeed a parking lot, and on the far side, I could see a small side street
with a hotel and restaurant on it.  Oh gosh!  What am I doing standing out
here naked?  Soon, Ryosuke came up behind me, his willy sticking up.

   "What is it?" he asked.  I moved out of the way, so he could get a
better look.  "Wow!  We're right in the middle of town," he gushed.  I
looked up at him all shivering and excited.  I kind of thought it would be
a thrill to take a little walk outside naked, but it was hard to tell if it
was safe or not.  I was getting goose bumps all over.  Ryosuke had other
ideas it seemed.  He put his arm around me, and tried to pull me closer.  I
slipped out of his grasp, and stepped out into the sun.

   "Emi!  Come back!  Someone will see you!" he called after me.  I looked
all around, but I couldn't see anyone.  I dared him to come out after me,
but he had gotten cautious all of a sudden.  I was getting all aroused from
standing out in the sun in my bare scuddy.  I turned around peering this
way and that trying to make sure that there really was no one watching.  I
wanted to tease Ryosuke some more, but he disappeared back inside.  Without
him there watching, I got a bit afraid, so I came back in too.  Ryosuke was
pulling his jeans on.

   "No, no, wait," he called to me.  "I just wanted to take a picture of
you like that."

   I looked back at the open door, but I was starting to lose my nerve.  I
hadn't seen anyone out there, but we were in the middle of one of the most
popular shopping areas in the city, for heaven's sake.  Someone was bound
to come along sooner or later.  Unfortunately, Ryosuke had his jeans on,
had fished out his camera, and seemed determined to herd me back outside.

   "Ryosuke.  I don't know if this is such a good idea."

   "It'll be OK.  Don't worry," he said motioning for me to go ahead.  I
wasn't so keen anymore, but he insisted, and before long had pushed me back
towards the doorway.  It still looked pretty quiet outside, but my heart
was pounding away.  Ryosuke nodded for me to go out, and so finally I
stepped back down onto the pavement.

   "This is crazy, you know," I kept telling him, as I blinked up at the
bright sun.  "Where do you want me to stand?" I asked all excited.  He
looked around, and then motioned for me to follow the bamboo wall sitting
near the back doors of all these stores.  Luckily, the parked cars partly
blocked the view from the street, but the further I got from the door and
my clothes, the more vulnerable I felt.

   "Just hurry up, and take the shot, OK?" I begged him.  I did my best to
strike a pose, but just as he was getting ready to take the shot, two guys
came out of the back of one of the restaurants.  I quickly ducked behind
one of the cars, but I was so worried that they might have seen me.

   "Now what do we do?" I whispered frantically to Ryosuke, who crouched
down behind the car next to me.

   "You're so cute when you're frightened," he said giving me a soft kiss.
"I'll be right back with your towel." He ran back off inside, leaving me
out here stark naked.  I turned around, and scanned the building behind us.
It seemed to be some kind of public parking garage.  I could see this guy
in a booth in the middle, craning his head, looking this way.  Oh shoot! 
He must have seen me.  I crawled around the end of the car and down the
side trying to hide, but I could still hear the two restaurant guys talking
just on the other side.  Oh god.  Why on earth did I let Ryosuke talk me
into this?  This is absolutely crazy.

   Soon Ryosuke was back with his shirt and shoes on this time.  He handed
me my towel, and I quickly wrapped it around me.  I wanted to dash back
inside, but he motioned for me to wait for the two guys to go back to work.
When I turned around though, Ryosuke was creeping away from me toward the
street.

   "Where are you going?" I called after him.

   "I just want to get one shot.  Come on," he answered motioning for me to
follow.  I glanced back at the door, but I could still hear those two guys.
Reluctantly, I scurried along on all fours after him.  We came to the end
of the line of cars, and he stood up.  We were almost at the street.  Cars
kept driving past and stopping at the corner, and there was a cocktail
patio just across the street with quite a few people in it.  Ryosuke
motioned for me to stand up, but there was just no way I was going to do
anything with so many people nearby.

   "I can't.  Let's go back."

   "Just one shot.  Anywhere you want.  You choose."

   I really wanted to go back, but Ryosuke clearly wanted to get a picture.
I looked around for some place private, some place where no one would see
us, but everything was so out in the open.

   "Let's just go back!"

   "Come on, Emi.  Just one shot!  Please!"

   I let out a deep sigh, but eventually, I stood up.

   "OK, OK.  I don't know.  The hotel entrance over there I guess." At
least, it was enclosed and back from the street a bit.

   "Oh Emi, thank you.  Thank you.  You're the best really!" He took my
hand, and we quickly dashed across the street.  I felt so vulnerable
running around in just my towel.  The hotel was fairly small, part of some
chain it seemed.  I couldn't see anyone in the lobby, and it looked like
the front desk was around the corner.  Ryosuke was standing there grinning
from ear to ear.  I felt so completely wired.  I was so worked up I could
hardly speak.

   Ryosuke motioned for me to take my towel off, and give it to him.  It
was true that the longer we waited, the more likely we were to get caught.
I couldn't bring myself to do it though.  Ryosuke finally came over, gently
untied the knot, and took the towel from me leaving me standing there in
the hotel entrance stark naked.  I was completely losing it by then.  I
don't think I've ever felt so excited in my life.

   I think Ryosuke just got off one shot when he suddenly came running
back, and wrapped the towel around my shoulders.  I turned to see what was
wrong, and there was this middle-aged couple, tourists obviously, standing
right behind me staring at my bare behind.  Ryosuke grabbed my hand, and
pulled me to follow him across the street.  I lost my grip on the towel,
and it fell off as we ran.  Ryosuke went back for it, but I just kept
running back to the spa.  I'm not even sure how many people saw me.  It
must have been quite a few - the older couple, the people on the patio,
drivers on the street, people in the intersection and who knows who all
else.  We finally made it back to the spa, but I was in complete shock
about what I had just done.  I couldn't stop shaking.  I'd just streaked
the street for heaven's sake.  We were kind of safe back in the pool, but
the towel was all dirty now.

   "Run up, and get my clothes," I blurted out.  He immediately ran off
taking my towel with him.  "No, wait!  Satomi's up there!"

   Worried about what might happen, I went over to the door, and peered
down the hall trying to see if anyone was coming.  I could hear the voice
of the receptionist, but I couldn't see anyone, so I ended up stepping out
into the hall, and following Ryosuke back up to our room.  I heard Satomi
scream when Ryosuke opened the door, but anyway, I needed my clothes.  He
came back out, looking a bit guilty for breaking in on Satomi while she was
naked, but she'll get over it.  He seemed kind of excited.  I never thought
he had a thing for her, but she is a good looking girl, especially when she
is naked.

   I finally pulled on my panties and bra.  I felt so relieved to get
dressed again.  Ryosuke was all excited though, and showed me the picture
he took by the hotel.  Already even then, you could see the couple coming
out of the entrance behind me.

   "Oh, for heaven's sakes, Ryosuke!  Why didn't you say something?"

   "I tried.  They popped up so fast."

   It wasn't his fault really I guess.  I should never have agreed to walk
out that far, but I guess I wasn't thinking straight either.

   Eventually, I told Ryosuke to go wait in the lobby, and I slipped back
into our room.  Satomi was dressed, and Jonathan was packing up to leave.

   "Where were you?" she asked all concerned.

   "We just took a dip in the pool," I explained.  She glared at me.  I
guess she could tell from the blush in my cheeks that we'd done something.
I kept telling her it was all innocent, and eventually she let it go.  We
met up with Ryosuke, and went out for something to eat, but that whole
night Ryosuke and I were both so worked up.  We ended up not doing
anything, but we wanted to.  It's times like this that I wish we had a
place of our own.
