We've split this story into different parts, sorry if its a bit long, but think it's worth knowing the background. It took place some time ago, after we'd already dipped our toes into the swinging lifestyle, we've decided to publish anyway as these events gave us so much pleasure.

We'd already met with some lovely couples (see our previous stories) but never had a threesome, this was about to change!

We first met Derek on the plane as we were about to fly from Stansted to Fuerteventura on a cold wet Wednesday morning in September. Derek was in the aisle seat, next to me (Neil) with Nicole in the window seat. We exchanged pleasantries, saying how much we were looking forward to getting away for a rest and some sunshine, then we were up and away.

During the flight, Derek mentioned that he'd lost his wife a few years ago and, that he hadn't been abroad since, his grown up children had encouraged him to get away and start enjoying life again, when they'd heard there was a naturist beach close by, they'd ribbed him saying things like, don't get your willy burnt dad or don't ogle too many boobs! Derek was the same age as us, and was looking forward to relaxing. He was staying at the same hotel complex as us, just outside Corralejo, he'd heard that there was a naturist section of the beach there and, as he and his wife had "dared to bare" before wanted to try it again. Nicole mentioned that we always used the naturist section, she hated white bits on her body and, loved the freedom of being naked for a whole..... she suddenly trailed off her conversation, going brigt red, as she realised she'd probably told someone she'd only just met more than was necessary! Her embarrassment was met with laughter by me and Derek and, curtailed by the arrival of the drink trolley.

We continued our conversations throughout the flight, family, friends, work, the usual stuff and arrived on time in Fuerteventura, collecting our cases, we made our way to the coach and then along the coast road to the Olivia Beach hotel, it was a beautiful sunny day, as we approached the dunes national park, the views across the ocean were lovely, Derek said he was already relaxed and happy he'd chosen this resort and met us.

As the coach pulled in by reception we jumped off to get our cases to be greeted by a call from the terrace bar above, some of our friends we'd met previously, were waiting for us and said they'd have a drink waiting, Derek asked for a beer, and that he'd pay, we all laughed, reminding him it was an All Inclusive resort.

We dropped our bags near reception, heading for the bar and renewing old friendships, introducing Derek as the newbie, then after lunch, headed for our apartment, Derek had booked the hotel, we showed him where to go and agreed to meet him for a drink once we'd settled in.

Later that afternoon we met Derek by hotel pool bar, he'd already been for a walk along the beach, eager to tell us all the sights he'd seen, surprised that the naturist section was so close by, and, that there were sunloungers and parasols available, he'd not expected that, we agreed to meet up later for dinner and drinks and see how the holiday would pan out.
