Mary watched as Hazel undressed, revealing her huge butterfly. As she removed her bra the flowers round her nipples came into view. Mary had only seen them before when Hazel was laid on her back, but now she was stood up and the hang of her breasts filled out the flowers so that they looked very real. Mitsumi had done a marvellous job on Hazel. “Your breasts are amazing, Hazel, can I touch them?” “I am beginning to worry about you Mary. Are you turning into a lesbian?”

“Oh that is good coming from you. I seem to remember you sucking Ruth’s tits, so it really is the pot calling the kettle.” “I can’t stop looking at them myself, so I know how you feel.” “You can both keep your hands off until the tattoo is properly healed.” said Mitsumi, “The last thing that Hazel needs is an infection.”

“Perhaps you could tattoo her anus for her, so that she has a reason to keep her husband off.” said Mary. “Oh, yes please. I can’t cope with any more fucking up there so it sounds like a good excuse. He did tell you to tattoo me all over, so he can’t complain. What do you suggest?”

I was going to start on your back today, so if you want me to start between your cheeks then that is as good a place as any. I won’t tell you what I am going to do, you will just have to wait and see.

Hazel climbed onto the kitchen table and laid face down, spreading her buttocks with her hands. “How’s this, Mitsumi?” “You look a bit sore there, are you sure that you want this?” “Yes, a bit more pain now might save me more later on. Let’s get on with it.”

Mary thought that this was a very different Hazel now, considering that she had to be tied down yesterday. “I don’t think that you need me to stay, Mitsumi, you have a willing subject today. I will go home and go to bed. My stitches are playing up.” “Take some pain killers.” said Mitsumi, “I have a key so I will let myself in when I am finished.” Mary said goodbye to them both and went home.

When Mary got into the house, she took her pain killers and her antibiotics and climbed into bed next to Sue. Sue did not stir, and Mary was soon fast asleep. The next thing that she knew it was late afternoon, and Sue was waking her up. “I’m off to work at Paul’s,” she said, “I have made you something to eat.”

Reluctantly, Mary got up. “Oh, I feel so tired, I need to sleep.”

“Make sure that you are not getting an infection. Mitsumi said that your stitches are looking inflamed. Shall I ring Dr Ruth for you?” “No, I will be alright. You get off. I’ll see you when you get back.”

Mary went downstairs and ate the meal that Sue had left out for her. She washed up and went back to bed. She fell back to sleep almost immediately.
