Acquaintance softens prejudice
I am troubled by the fable of the fox and the lion, whether the moral is given as acquaintance softens prejudice, or familiarity breeds contempt, it is unclear as to the destination of the relationship. Will the foolish fox be eaten at the first opportunity or will the chatty fellow make a lifelong friend with the king of the beasts?
I have a little tale about Bea and Leo sitting in the booth over there, appropriately while they sit next to each other they are not engaged in the same conversation. Appropriately because that is how their relationship began, a long time ago Leo got a promotion at work which included moving to the desk next hers. Undoubtedly he would have said hello to her and she would have returned the greeting, and congratulated him on his promotion as they are both reasonable and, indeed, polite people. However, conversation between the two did not spark, probably because he was too busy getting to grips with his new job and she was not in the same department, and they had one of those half-walls between them.
What changed them from lounging lions to friendly foxes was what got all of us talking: the encroaching pandemic, the lockdowns in other countries, the lockdowns in closer countries and the inevitability of our lockdown. Just like that sentence, lockdown was every second word spoken, and in between, in an office, there were conversations about resources and home working, and sharing things between departments. Suddenly people’s home-lives and work-lives met, Leo found out Bea had recently purchased a two bed after selling the studio flat she had shared with her ex and Bea found out Leo lived with Fern and Ivy, after the purchase of his one-bed flat had fallen through.
Well, this little tale jumps forward quite a bit now, through those early lockdowns to the point where they thought it would be safe again, erroneously, obviously, as we know now. The false dawn of prosperously coming out of the pandemic when companies still had money they could spend on marketing jollies to develop teamwork. Bea is in sales and Leo in online marketing. Do they look like those are their jobs? I think Bea looks like she would be more comfortable working on a farm, probably dairy and Leo could be a mechanic, fixing the tractor on Bea’s dairy farm. Do dairy farms have tractors?
Anyway, the holiday resort the company had chosen for their conference had a nudist Tuesday afternoon in their indoor swimming facility to encourage local out-of-season visitors. The company knew this but decided not to make an announcement as there were conference meetings over the entire time of the nudism session. However, through a quirk of scheduling Leo was free that afternoon so he decided to enjoy the indoor swimming facilities. He had heard they were brilliant.
Bea and a slightly older friend of hers were expected in a meeting, but they knew they would simply be sitting at the back of the meeting room with no input and learning little. Her slightly older friend knew about the nudist swim and in the spirit of corrupting the young, she convinced Bea to skip the meeting and take a naughty dip. Which is what they did.
Leo, on the other hand was surprised when he was informed nudity was obligatory, that if he wanted to swim in a swimsuit he would need to come back later. And that if he chose to swim he would need to listen for the hooter as the pool area needed to be completely cleared within fifteen minutes of the hooter to make way for the non-nudist swimmers. Leo dithered but decided it would not matter as all his colleagues would be in meetings. And he had been wanting to become more daring. His twenties had been staid and homely, now he wanted to be wild and spontaneous. He was quite happy to find the locker area was empty, he put his clothes in a locker, wrapped a towel around his waist and walked boldly into the pool area. He ignored the sign requesting visitors take a pre-swim shower.
The swimming facility was split into a pool area on the one side and a river feature on the other. There was a group of people on the far side of the pool area so he decided to float along the river. He hung his towel and crab walked into water hoping his leg would hide his cock from the group. He might be a fine looking man but he was not used to baring it all.
He floated with the flow in the river gently sculling on his back when he was surprised to hear his name. In a jacuzzi big enough for ten people was Bea and her friend. After the obligatory aren’t you supposed to be in a meeting? and some meetings are pointless and they won’t even know we aren’t there, Bea’s friend invited Leo to join them and Leo suddenly faced with the dilemma of how to step into the jacuzzi without exposing himself invited them to join him to discover the end of the river. And so it was that Leo found himself watching Bea’s friend stand up and show off her rather fine pair of breasts albeit with a natural droop that comes with age, then, as she stepped through the overflow area between the jacuzzi and the river he got a full eyeful of her perfectly trimmed snatch. Bea followed her friend in a more modest way, swimming to the overflow before sliding on her tummy over the smooth surface giving Leo a fine view of her ass as she dipped headfirst into the river.
The river twisted a little before leaving the building where, while the water was still warm, the air was cold. The river ended next to a plunge pool. Leo swam to it, dipped his hand in and exclaimed that it was absolutely freezing. Bea’s friend was clearly the most brave of the three and with a well, it has to be done she hauled herself out of the warm river, looped around the plunge pool and plunged before jumping back into the river, her nipples showing just how cold the plunge pool was. She challenged the other two to repeat what she had done. Bea was quite happy to embrace the new experience and Leo clambered out after her not willing to be shown up. You have to start from the other side like I did. Leo watched Bea’s bum as he followed her, and Bea’s friend watched both of their bums, and got an extended full monty as they hesitate before holding hands and plunging together. It is a fine thing to watch a warm prick fly forward into a pool, but not quite so impressive when the shrivelled member bounces back into the warm river.
They made there way against the gentle current towards the jacuzzi. By this time you have to think of them as very friendly foxes, they were accustomed to each other’s company, they were accustomed to their nudity, happy enough to float on their backs, or dive playfully under each other. Rather outrageous behaviour for naked colleagues. Bea’s friend was encouraging the behaviour. She was purposefully floating spreadeagled, she started the underwater leapfrog game. In the jacuzzi she rubbed first Bea’s shoulders, then Leo’s pulling him between her legs for better purchase. Then encourage Bea between Leo’s legs, a naked shoulder rubbing chain. It was easy to see they were all turned on, very turned on and suddenly the hooter sounded. Bea and her friend stood and waded to the side of the jacuzzi that edged onto the pool. They sat on the edge looking down at Leo as he squirmed trying to hide his engorged cock. The other group had gone so Bea’s friend simply leant forward grabbed hold of Leo’s hardon and pulled him out of the water. She led him round the edge of the pool, he was too shocked to do anything but meekly follow. Bea grabbed their towels and caught up with them at the showers. She was about to pass them to go to the lockers when her friend stopped her. She took Bea’s hand and wrapped it about Leo’s still hard cock. She left them to get the shower gel.
When she came back a minute later Bea and Leo were kissing, their bodies pressed together, Bea’s hand moving up and down his cock. She watched silently until she heard Leo groan. She took a couple steps back, called out: sorry I took so long and squeezed showergel into the two pairs of waiting hands.
Well, we now have to wait and see if it was sensible for the fox to be friendly or if they should have just kept their distance
