Chapter 2: Building Tension
Julie glanced over at Jon, feeling his eyes on her. She laughed, "What?"
Jon took a deep breath and stuttered, "I, uh, I think you should put some sunscreen on. Your skin is, uh, quite fair."
Julie looked down at her arms and legs. "Yeah, probably a good idea. I don't get a lot of sun usually. I don't want to be burnt to a crisp," she said as she sat back down in the lounge chair. "Do you mind helping me put it on?"
Jon's eyes widened even more, but he didn't say anything. "Sure, I guess I can do that," he said, taking the sunscreen out of his pocket.
He stood up and walked over to where Julie was sitting. Julie handed him the sunscreen and closed her eyes, leaning her head back. "Just start with my shoulders," she instructed.
Jon began to gently rub the sunscreen into Julie's shoulders, moving slowly as he worked down her arms.
He couldn't help but feel his eyes wander to her bare breasts, which seemed to stand out against her pale skin. Julie glance down, noticing where his eyes had wandered. She let out a low laugh.
"Checking out my breasts?" she laughed.
"No, I was, uh, looking at your tattoos," Jon said, red-faced.
Julie just chuckled in response. "Right," she teased. She glanced over at her friend, who seemed to be struggling to compose himself. "Don't worry, you don't have to be shy around me. We've known each other forever, and I'm used to people checking me out. It's kind of what I live for, really."
Jon let out a little laugh, and continued rubbing the sunscreen on Julie's arms. He was grateful for the banter, as it helped to ease the awkwardness that he was feeling.
"I think my arms are good now if you want to keep working your way down," said Julie.
Jon swallowed and began applying sunscreen on her neck and upper chest. Julie directed his hands down over her breasts. "Make sure you get everywhere. I don't want my nipples to burn. They're pretty pale too."
"Right," said Jon, rubbing suntan lotion onto his friend's breasts. He felt her nipples stiffen under his touch.
He found himself momentarily transfixed by her, unable to tear his eyes away. He was shocked at the reactions that were taking place in his own body.
As he worked his way down her body, Julie swung her legs over the side of the chair and knelt in front of him. "Can you get my back too?" she asked. "Then we can do my legs."
"Of course," said Jon, rubbing lotion into her back.
Julie leaned forward and pushed her hair off her neck. She let out a deep breath as Jon's hands moved over her skin, smoothing on the cool lotion. She closed her eyes, savoring the feeling of his touch.
"You're so good at this," she said, opening her eyes again as she leaned back against the chair. "It feels really nice."
Jon felt himself blush at her words, but he was grateful for the conversation to ease the tension. "I want to make sure you don't burn," he said, continuing his work.
"Alright, you should probably do my stomach and legs," said Julie, lying back.
Jon swallowed, but he knew he couldn't let his embarrassment stop him. He continued to apply the sunscreen, rubbing it gently into her stomach and hips.
As he worked his way down her legs, Julie shifted in the chair, opening them up slightly. Jon felt his heart race as he moved the lotion over her thighs, trying to be as professional as possible.
"Make sure to get my vagina too," said Julie. "Definitely don't want to burn there." Jon felt his heart race at her words, and he struggled to maintain his composure. He must have taken a bit too long to respond, because Julie sat up and looked at him with a knowing smile.
"Go ahead," she said. Jon placed a bit of lotion in his hand and took a deep breath before cautiously approaching her. He knelt down beside the chair and started gently rubbing the lotion onto her inner thighs. He could feel the warmth radiating from her body, and his hands were slightly shaking.
Julie looked down at him with a mixture of amusement and sympathy. "You can get closer, you know," she said. "I don't bite."
Jon gulped and moved a bit closer. He applied the lotion onto her labia, making sure to cover every inch of skin.
"You're so smooth," Jon said, his voice nearly a whisper, as he ran his fingers over her labia.
"Thanks," said Julie, smiling. "I try to keep everything neat and tidy down there. Do you like how it looks?"
Jon simply nodded.
He swallowed, and moved his hands further, starting to rub the lotion into her folds, feeling a mix of excitement and awe.
She let out an involuntary moan as he touched her most intimate areas. Jon took that as a sign that he was doing something right.
Even though they were best friends for many years, this was the closest he had ever been to her down there, or any girl for that matter.
He never imagined that this would happen.
"If you spread open my outer labia, you can see my inner labia," Julie said, pulling her lips open. She pulled a bit on her delicate inner labia. "Otherwise, they're pretty much hidden by my outer labia."
Jon's breath hitched in his throat as he looked at her most intimate area. It was the first time he had ever seen a vagina up close and personal. He swallowed hard, as he continued to apply the sunscreen on every bit of it.
Julie wriggled in the chair, an indulgent smile gracing her lips. "Is this your first time, Jon?" she asked gently, her voice barely above a whisper.
He hesitated for a moment, not really knowing what to say. "I mean, I've seen pictures online and stuff," he finally offered weakly.
"Well, this is my clitoris," she said, pulling back her clitoral hood. "And then down here is my vaginal opening." She spread herself open and then slid a finger inside to show him.
"Okay, you should probably do my legs," she laughed.
Jon took a deep breath and began gently rubbing the lotion into her calves. As he did, he couldn't help but feel his eyes wander to her thighs, where he had applied the lotion earlier. He swallowed hard, trying to focus on the task at hand, but it was difficult when she had opened her legs slightly, exposing more of her inner thighs.
Julie glanced down at him and gave him a wicked smile. "Having a little trouble concentrating?" she asked with a wink. "Just checking out my tattoos again?"
"No, this time I was looking at your vagina," laughed Jon.
"Well, I hope you got a good look," said Julie, smiling. "You've seen plenty of it by now."
Jon felt his cheeks flush at her words, and he quickly looked away. "Okay, legs are done," he said, stepping back from the lounger.
Julie looked up at him and smiled. "Thanks, Jon. I really appreciate it," she said.
Jon nodded and turned away, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and confusion. He couldn't believe what had just happened.
