She smiled at Rhedyn, realizing that the other woman had changed her own clothing while Bella was stripping out of her own.  She had a moment's hesitation when she thought about the fact that she had no clothing on underneath the robe; was it truly something the other woman was okay with?  Well, it was too late to worry about it now.  She'd been invited to experience the day in the nude, and had already made a decision to do so in the dressing room.  Now she was going to stick with  it; in general, it was against her nature to second-guess herself, and she would not do so now.<br/><br/>Mayerling's nudity caught her off guard, even though it shouldn't have.  He'd certainly given her fair warning that he'd be naked for this experience, and clearly this was not the first time he'd done this.  Her roommate really hadn't been kidding.  This really<em>was</em>different from any other spa day.  Following Rhedyn and Mayerling to the shower chamber, she listened to the instructions, nodding.  Again, she was surprised, this time by the fact that she'd be showering alone with Mayerling; Rhedyn would not be staying.  Bella took a breath and untied the knot at her waist.  As she shrugged out of the robe, handing it to the other woman, she did not look at Mayerling.  Instead, her gaze was locked onto Rhedyn's face, lingering for a long moment, searching for any indication that her nudity was not okay.<br/><br/>Finally, she turned away and stepped further into the large room, her eyes drawn to Mayerling's buttocks.  Rhedyn was a lucky woman.  Bella turned, stepping away from him to give him some space, walking into the stream of water.  It cascaded over her naked flesh, and a small sigh of pleasure escaped her as she closed her eyes and let the soothing aroma relax her.  She just stood like that for long moments, blocking all thought from her mind except those that involved how wonderful the water felt.  His words brought her back, and she opened her eyes, blinking the moisture out of them.  She gave him a sidelong glance, finally looking at him even thought a part of her felt like she shouldn't.  Was this why Stacey had sent her here?  Because a very drunk Bella had confessed a voyeuristic streak to her one night, and Stacey somehow knew that Mayerling was a nudist?<br/><br/>With movements that were tentative at first, Bella followed Mayerling's instructions, gathering water in her cupped hands and letting it trickle over her and then actually caressing her body as the liquid fell on her.  "You're right," she said, a soft, blissful laugh escaping her, "This is wonderful."  She allowed herself to enjoy the shower until her fingertips started to prune, and then then she stepped out of the stream, turning to avoid an awkward moment with her host.  Water dripped from her body as she stepped toward the entry, glancing about for a towel.
