Scheming in the restroom…

Rhi POV

The girls and I weave our way through the restaurant heading toward the restroom. Looking over my shoulder I see the two of them trailing behind me a few tables.

"We're coming, we're coming. We got a little caught up back there." Ana says, laughing, "We took a wrong turn." Kate laughs along with her.

I shake my head at them and laugh, "Only you could take a wrong turn weaving through tables."

Pushing open the door, I see there's no one else inside and I'm secretly relieved. I'm half expecting Ana and Kate to say something about the interactions in the other room. I really don't want to talk about anything so when they come in and don't say anything I'm mildly shocked. They seem to grill me whenever something happens and I want to enjoy the night, though I'm not really looking forward to the walk back to the hotel. I'd prefer to take a taxi back, because of the heels, but Kate seemed so happy about walking back that I couldn't ruin things for her. After all, it's their vacation too.

"So, are you guys having fun? I think this vacation started off with a few hiccups but other than that I think it's going to be a fun vacation! I can't wait until we're rested and can start a full fun day tomorrow, since we're not traveling like we did this morning. It's crazy how much energy traveling drains you, even just sitting on a plane. Maybe it's the adrenalin combined with the time the traveling begins. I mean we did start at 4am." Ana rambles on as we're all concentrating on other things.

I start laughing. Between her rambling and the direction my thoughts have taken me I can't help it.

Ana asks yet another question, "What's so funny Rhi? It's never a good sign when you're alone in the bathroom laughing."

This makes me laugh harder.

"I'm sorry Ana." Really trying to stop laughing, "I just started thinking why women talk while they're using the bathroom in public places. Not caring who is listening. If someone was listening we could make things worth listening to. You know, get a little creative? Entertain ourselves and see what the reactions are?"

I hear Ana sigh and Kate laughs.

"Ana, come on, Rhi's got a point! Sometimes she's got great ideas that are harmless!" Kate says, chuckling as she's trying to catch her breath. "On the other hand, Rhi, you do get some ideas that aren't the best or safest. This is one I happen to agree with! No one is in here so what do you suggest?"

"Kate don't encourage her! Who knows what will come out of her mouth!" Ana chastises Kate which makes both of us laugh harder.

I think for a moment and a lightbulb pops on, "Since no one is in here it would be kind of pointless. However, we could always start talking about something risqué as we're walking by tables of people."

Kate, who seems to be a little more excited exclaims, "Ooh! I like it! This should be fun! What do you think Ana? Any ideas of the topic?"

"Actually I do! As we're walking by, let's say something along the lines of, 'How are the rope burns on your wrists healing?' or something like that. Who wants to do the asking and who wants to answer?" I ask, wondering if either one of them feel like getting creative enough to embrace the idea. My money is on Kate.

Kate POV

My mouth drops open and my eyes open wide. It's a good thing we're all still separated by the dividers because if they could see the expression on my face I'd never live it down. I mean yeah, Elliot and I go at it, a lot, but it's either loving or really hot and I thought kinky, but we've never used anything like that. Elliot's suggested things like toys and stuff but I don't know if I'd be able to ever do that. That's almost too kinky, borderline perverted. I'm not a prude but jeeze how in the fuck does anyone let themselves get into that position and allow someone that kind of control? Fuck, how do I answer that without being judged by Rhi and Ana?

"God Rhi, where do you come up with these ideas? What the hell kind of things have you been exposed to?" I ask, afraid of the answer. I know her history but I don't know the tiny details, and I didn't know this was part of it. "Never mind, I don't think I want to know."

I hear Rhi chuckle but nothing but silence from Ana, for a few moments. I'm even more shocked when I hear her response.

Ana POV

Oh God. I was not expecting Rhi to come up with that suggestion. Kate's response surprises me. I figured she'd be a little more willing to do that. I'm not against it, actually I think it would be fun. However, I'm a little concerned about something. How do I agree to it without alluding to my experiences with Christian? I haven't told anyone about the things we've discussed or done, like I promised, but they're going to wonder where I learned about this. Although, he's been very helpful in this area and this would be a perfect way to shock Kate and even Rhi. I actually feel a little excited about doing it.

There's a rush of adrenalin flowing through my body, I take a deep breath and I answer, "I'll do it."

There's silence for a moment and I hear Kate inhale quickly and Rhi Squeals, "OMG! Ana! Yes! I always knew there was a wild side of you!" She laughs.

I chuckle, "Oh hush. It's no big deal."

Rhi asks, "Do you need some coaching on how the conversation will flow? I can help out with it if needed." I hear Kate inhale quickly.

I smile to myself. It's at this point I am thankful for Christian and his 'sexpertise.' I can't help but giggle. I can't wait to surprise them considering everyone seems to think I'm such an innocent. Ha! If only they knew!

"No, I think I can handle the conversation. I mean, it can't be that difficult, right?" I answer.

I hear Rhi laugh, "OK, so when we leave here let's walk out giggling and I'll ask the question and kick off the conversation. Do you think we should have the guys hear some of the conversation? I think it'd be fun to see their reaction. I mean, they've already had an interesting taste of how we are when we were in the private room."

I can hear the devious tone in her voice and shake my head. Why does she have to be so insistent on shocking and surprising people just to get a reaction? I swear, she can't seem to do anything without keeping things quiet and secret. Though she wouldn't be Rhi if she did that.

Kate, sounding shocked, asks, "Ana, how in the fuck do you know anything about that subject?"

Before I can answer there is the sound of three flushes one after the other remind me of dominos toppling over and I laugh. I'm still laughing as all three stall doors swing open simultaneously. It reminds me of the horse races when the gates open and the horses surge out.

I laugh nervously and open the stall door and head to the sinks to wash my hands. Oh boy, here goes.

"Kate, I'm not as naïve as everyone thinks, nor am I as innocent. I've tried a thing or two." I reply, smiling devilishly.

Kate is in the middle of washing her hands and stops mid-scrub and freezes making eye contact with me in the mirror. Rhi just started washing her hands but continues with a smirk on her face. I roll my eyes.

"Good grief you guys. You make it seem like I'm some innocent untouched virgin who knows nothing about kinky sex or any kind of sex for that matter." I roll my eyes again. "It's no big deal."

Kate POV

Un-fucking believable! I can't believe Ana knows about rope burns and BDSM and stuff like that! Surely she's joking because I never pegged her for anything wild like that. I also can't believe she volunteered to go along with the joke about it. Well, if it's any indication of how shocked I am at the revelation, I'm sure other people will be just as shocked.

Rhi POV

"I KNEW there was no way you were some completely innocent virgin! There was no way you were, especially after everything we've been through. If you haven't done anything you've at least been exposed to it." I can't help laughing, especially at Kate's reaction. She still hasn't said anything else and the look on her face is priceless.

"Kate, you need to breathe. It's no big deal. I'm surprised you haven't, considering, you know, how you are with Elliot." Ana says to Kate, trying to break her out of her shock.

I still can't stop laughing as I reach over and grab some paper towels to dry my hands. I've never seen Kate so speechless.

"I'm sorry Ana, but I'm just shocked is all. I never expected you to say something like that. I mean, we've known each other forever and I was just caught off guard." Kate apologizes.

"Kate, it's ok. It's not like it's ever come up in conversation. If the time presented itself I would've said something. I wasn't hiding anything from you guys." Ana says, like it's no big deal.

Hopefully we can move on from this weirdness because I really want to go.

"Kate, I'm sure if you ask nicely Ana might be able to teach you how to do things." I laugh wickedly, wiggling my eyebrows suggestively. All I'm trying to do is lighten her mood and I think it's working because she laughs when she responds.

"You know, that might just be a good idea! I'm sure Elliot will LOVE any suggestions you have! We'll have to have a little pow-wow when we get back home." She laughs and we all join in.

"Ok guys let's get a move on, it's a long walk back to the hotel and in heels we'll be moving slower. Are you ready?" I ask them.

"I'm ready whenever you are Rhi. Kate? Are you ready?" Ana directs the question at Kate.

"Yep! Let's do this!" She smiles brightly as she responds to Ana.

As we exit the restroom there are only a few tables here and there that have people seated at them, there are more people seated at tables the closer we get to the door. I nudge Ana and smile. Keeping my voice normal I start off the conversation.

"Hey Ana?" I ask questioningly.

"Yes Rhi?" She asks turning her head toward me.

"I just noticed the rope burn marks on your wrists have healed. How are the ones on your ankles healing? Are they almost back to normal?" God this is harder than I thought. I'm struggling to maintain a straight face and keep the laugh bottled up and amusement out of my voice.

"Oh yes, they are healing quite nicely. They're healing a little slower than my wrists because there was more strain and pressure. You know, all the strain and struggling going on tends to cause a little chaffing. Though with the cream you recommended you can hardly tell. The markings and soreness was definitely worth it! It certainly makes things a lot hotter than just the traditional positions. You can tie me up any day!" She winks and fans her face with her hand.

Her eyes are gleaming brightly and I can see amusement in them. She's really enjoying this! I think to myself, pleasantly surprised. Glancing at Kate I can tell she's trying to maintain composure.

I'm surprised when she asks, "Hey guys? Can you provide some directives of what kind of setup you use? You've been talking about this for so long I think I want to do a surprise when we get home."

Ana and I smile and Ana replies, "Oh yes! We'll get started as soon as we get home. Believe me, you'll thank us in the end!"

We're giggling as we're walking through toward the exit and I can see people watching silently as we leave, a few have shocked looks on their faces, women have more judgmental looks and the men have more curious ones. As we approach the guys they look confused when they see us giggling and the heads of the other customers watching us leave.

We're all still giggling and Kate whispers loudly, "Guys that was awesome! Really exhilarating!" She's still giggling as she turns to the guys she says excitedly, "Let's get moving!"

We turn and head toward the door leading to the Strip for the long trek back to the hotel.
