Dinner had turned out to be a bacon sandwich and a cup of coffee, taken in a quiet cafe with a fine view of the sea. The only other customers were an older couple seated near the counter, heads close together in animated conversation. Despite the relative privacy, Kate had cut off Steve's attempt to discuss their sexual encounter with a dismissive chop of her hand. Thankfully Alice had stepped in to rescue him from any awkwardness, turning the conversation towards the little business she and her girlfriend had built together. She'd asked him about his work too, laughing at his instinctive reluctance to share any details. He had to smile, realising that he was clinging to the old anonymity, a protective measure that no longer made much sense.
After downing her coffee, Kate had suddenly stood and announced that she was going to run some errands, leaving Alice and Steve to walk down to the sea together. Now they stood side-by-side, sheltering in the lee of the promenade wall from the bitter wind that blasted across the exposed beach.
"Is Kate okay?" he asked. "She didn't seem very happy in the cafe." He was wondering if she was having second thoughts, if Alice had been given instructions to politely get rid of him now that they'd had their fun.
"She's fine," Alice smiled. "You'll get used to her mood swings. She likes you, believe it or not. You passed the test on the table. She thinks you're a good sport."
He blinked. That was one way of putting it, he supposed. "I did feel a bit silly bent over that table. I can't believe I did that so quickly."
"Is this were you tell me that you'd never normally behave like that," Alice grinned, "you're not that type of boy?"
"I'm really not that type of boy. Surprised myself. But...." He left the sentence unfinished, not quite sure why he had allowed the two women to tie him down and abuse him.
Alice took his hand, squeezing it, shifting her weight to lean against him. They enjoyed the silence for a while, watching the grey waves crash into the shore. Like the station and the cafe, the beach was largely deserted, except for a dog walker skirting the edge of the surf. A little terrier hurtled ahead of the walker, trying to chase down a lone seagull.
"Did you like it?" Alice looked up at him curiously.
"Being on the table?"
"Being naked in front of us. Being helpless. Did you like the things we did to you?"
He shivered, remembering her tongue sliding across his skin, the rough handling of his balls. "Uh, yes, most of it. It was exciting. I wasn't sure about the verbal abuse and, uh, some of Kate's threats were...well...too much."
"Being too much is kind of Kate's thing," Alice laughed. "It's surprisingly hard getting the balance right. I mean, we've been sharing our fantasies for years, but the reality feels different. It's more intense, emotions get stirred up a lot more. I know I'm kind of a boundary pusher too. I can't blame it all on Kate."
"I might need some guarantees..."
Alice nodded, turning her gaze from the sea to look at him directly. He noticed that her brown eyes were flecked with green. Her lips quirked in slight amusement. Without thinking he brushed her hair away from her face. She gave him a genuine smile, kissing his fingertips.
"Tell me about these guarantees. It's okay."
He took a deep breath. "I don't want any photos or videos getting out. I don't want my face rubbed in shit, and I definitely don't want any cocks in my mouth or anywhere else."
Her laughter was loud enough to draw a quick glance from the dog walker. "No cocks or shit, got it. We'll knock it off with the recordings too. Was there anything you want more of?"
He could feel his face getting hotter. This was not the smooth, commanding persona he'd intended to present to his long-time crush. She seemed to like him all the same though, so maybe honesty was the best policy.
"I liked all of it, really, even the stuff that I thought I wouldn't. I really liked the, uh, ball stuff. The slaps and the squeezes. I wouldn't mind you going further with the pain."
"It wasn't too hard?" Alice raised an eyebrow. "I was terrified of doing some real damage there."
"No, it was great," he swallowed, glancing back out at the waves to cover his embarrassment. "I'm getting a hard-on thinking about it, actually. Maybe don't let Kate kick me in the balls though. I'd trust you to do it, but she's...dangerous."
Alice snorted. "No argument there. Don't worry, she won't do anything that I haven't approved, no matter what she threatens you with. Did you like fucking her?"
"Oh God yes," he laughed. "She's stunning. You're punching above your weight there. Her blowjobs are fucking world class."
"I'll have to take your word for that," she sighed. "She was bloody awful at eating pussy when we started dating. So was I. I was gutted, I thought I'd be brilliant at it."
"Harder than it looks," he smiled. "Always gave me a sore throat. I hope Kate isn't expecting to sit on my face or anything."
"You can leave the face-sitting to me," she said, turning to wrap her arms around his waist, her body pressed against him. "Well...that's got the awkward post-bondage debrief out of the way. Unless there's anything else you wanted to get off your chest?"
Steve thought about it for a moment, enjoying the way his erection pressed against her. Just two sweethearts cuddling on a lonely beach. It was easy to sit back and let Alice run the show, even if some of the surprises so far had wobbled him. He didn't want to ruin things by setting down too many rules or complaining.
"I am wondering what happens next," he said. "Where am I staying tonight?"
"You'll spend the night sandwiched between two naked girls in a bed barely big enough for two, if that's okay with you. Unless you'd like me to sort you out with a hotel?"
"I'll take the bed," he laughed. "I can't promise I'll behave though."
