(Author's note: Go away! Read something else, for crying out loud! I don't even want to be
writing
this, so you can imagine how little I want you to be reading it. Particularly since I'm most probably dead by now, and where's the fun in that? So... do me a favor and just bugger off, why don't you?)
***
I, being of sound mind...
Ha! That's a laugh! Why start now?
... and of a dyspeptic disposition...
Well, when you've lived with me for as long as
I
have, you can't help noticing these little things. The problem is that what you pretend to be is -
ta-da!
- what you become. And by the time I realized
that
, it was too late to change. Next time around, I'll pretend to be... different. Anyway,
... I do hereby revoke all my prior Wills and Codicils...
... and all that other crap. I cannot
think
what possessed me to leave my meager goods and chattels (what the hell's a chattel, anyway? Do I have any?) to the worthless bunch of losers that I named in my last Will: my first
wife
, for God's sake? I must have been drunk, just like I was when I proposed to her.
(Life Lesson Number One: Three things to avoid doing when drunk: driving a car, proposing marriage, and writing your Will. I've done all three, so I can speak from experience.)
She was a good lay, my first wife; I'll give her that. I remember the first time we had sex. Oh, you don't want to hear about it? Well, tough! It's your own fault: I
told
you to bugger off...
She said she was a virgin, but I've always had my doubts. I wasn't; but that was in another country; and besides, the wench is dead. (All right! Plagiarism is just one of my many sins.) Her parents had this beach cottage on the Outer Banks, you see, and in retrospect, I think it was the cottage I was in love with, rather than her. For some reason, I've always found beach cottages
incredibly
sexy, and this one came with a resident little hottie. What more could a red-blooded young me desire? Answer: absolutely nothing!
We'd spent a week there with her parents
('Let me introduce you to my folks!'
): swimming, snorkeling, surfing, sailing - all the s's except sex - getting hornier by the day (me, at least) and trying to masturbate it all away every night (me again; I don't know about her, although I can guess). It wasn't working. Her parents made sure we were never alone together for very long - I guess they weren't quite ready to be grandparents - and by the end of the week she was as hungry for sex as I was... and I was
ready
! My balls were so tender I could scarcely walk.
Anyway, at the end of our last day we all set off home: her parents in one car with all the luggage, and she and I in my old rattletrap, which was mostly held together with string and sealing wax (Whatever became of sealing wax?). We'd only gone about ten miles when she suddenly said:
"I think we're going to break down."
The car was running perfectly (well, at least it was running...), but I already knew that she didn't take kindly to being contradicted, so, 'respecting her intuition' (ha!), I asked:
"What do you think we should do?"
"Turn around. Let's head back to the cottage."
"But your Dad locked it; we won't be able to get in."
"Before we left, I... er... accidentally taped over the lock on the back door, just in case we needed somewhere to sleep... in an emergency. Lucky, huh?"
"Wow! Lucky accident! You must have
known
the car was going to break down."
"I could feel it in my... well, never mind where!"
So t
hat's
where she kept her intuition! I'd never seen her
'well, never mind where'
, but I got the feeling that I just might before the night was over, so I put my foot down and we raced back to the cottage in the gathering dusk, reaching almost forty-five mph at one point.
"Come on! Let's swim by moonlight!"
"But your folks took our swimsuits with them..."
"I'm game if you are. Race you!"
She ran down the sandy beach towards the rising full moon, tossing aside her baseball cap to let her pony-tail swing free, and shedding her T-shirt and bra as she ran. At the water's edge she paused briefly, stepped out of her jeans and slid her skimpy panties down over her tight little ass. She gazed out to sea, absent-mindedly scratching her butt before casually separating her ass cheeks. Then she turned her head, pony-tail swinging in the moonlight, and called to me:
"Come on! What are you doing?"
"Admiring the moons."
"Very funny! Now, get your kit off and join me!"
What
is
it about naked girls standing in the moonlight at the edge of the ocean? Particularly when they ease their ass cheeks apart? All my life I've treasured this image, and others like it - some of them memories, some fantasies - and they never fail to arouse me. So, here's my first legacy:
To the individual girls and women (and once, in a moment of mindless inebriated passion, a most beautiful young man) who occupy them, I leave my mental gallery of favorite erotic images.
Thank you all, both fictional and... er, factional. You meant a lot to me; you still do, in fact, even if only in the movies of my mind.
Don't laugh! These are among my most treasured possessions, and I bet you've got your own gallery, right?
Now, where was I? That's right... standing on the beach in the moonlight, looking at the slim figure of a naked girl with wavelets breaking over her toes. As instructed, I doffed my kit, and together we walked down a moonbeam, hand in hand, into the surf.
(Life Lesson Number Two: Swim naked by moonlight as often as you possibly can!)
We splashed our way out to reach the calmer water beyond the breakers, and then swam side-by-side over the roller-coaster waves as they rolled in to shore. My plan was to get just out of her depth, but not mine, so that she'd have to cling onto me. Clever, eh? And it worked! I had a firm foothold between wave crests, but each passing wave lifted me onto my tip-toes and the larger ones took me completely off the sandy bottom.
"I can't touch! Hold me up!"
"Sure; don't panic... I've got you."
