The shared Easter with Kate had been special, even setting aside the threesome we'd finally allowed ourselves.
As the June long weekend approached I felt the need both to get away somewhere with Greg and to catch up with Kate again.
Going to Uni every day together with Greg meant we certainly weren't lacking in each other's company. But our sex life was considerably inhibited compared to the summer we'd shared in his home town. Without the great outdoors as a place to unleash our passions, we were constrained by the limitations of doing it at my family's house or Greg's shared unit. At the very least it meant we had to curtail the noise we made and limited the variety. But it also limited the amount of sex we seemed to be able to get in.
During the holiday I'd worked out later we averaged well over than twice a day; not bad for beginners over a three month period I thought. Now we were struggling to make it four or five times a week, and that included what we came to call our 'wicked Wednesdays' where thanks to a bit of good programming of our Uni classes on our part and the rest of my family being at work, we finally got my family's house to ourselves for most of the day.
The drop off in the sex certainly wasn't due to any lesser desire on my or Greg's part. If these things have a honeymoon period where you go at it hammer and tongs before dropping back to something more sustainable it wasn't over yet. I wanted more. Much more than I was getting and much more uninhibited sex too. Plus I just wanted more of that feeling of being exposed to a naked Greg in broad daylight and exposing myself to him in return; and the intimacy that goes with that.
Now winter was coming on I even missed the opportunity to lie awake and just look at his naked body lying asleep beside me -- something I knew he did too. Doonas might be warm, but they're not transparent.
But because of a lack of somewhere private and opportunity I was missing all of this. I thought a weekend away might offer a break from that.
I wanted to include Kate because I knew she was missing us as much as we were missing her. I certainly pined for the intimate morning teas we had shared together; somewhere I could download all my innermost thoughts on someone I loved and trusted; which was strange given I'd never had that sort of friend in my life before meeting Kate. Since she'd broken up with Wayne it was obvious from her emails that she also was missing us -- Greg no less than me. She had plenty of Uni friends to hang out with but it was obvious it just wasn't the same
I'm a summer person; I much prefer to be warm than cold and I enjoy the beach and all the exposed flesh that goes with it. With just three days to get away and a restricted budget that goes with being a Uni student it had to be somewhere we could fly directly to from both cities on cheap flights.
From my city the choice was unlimited. But from Canberra where Kate was it was a different matter. In terms of purely holiday destinations it was Coolangatta airport or no-where. As somewhere to stay, that sort of left us with anywhere from Byron Bay in the South to the Gold Coast in the North as places accessible from the airport.
I did a bit of research and pushed for Byron for a number of reasons. First of all it seemed like more of an international backpacker destination, rather than the family holiday location more typified by the Gold Coast strip. So maybe more entertainment for our age group and better pickings for Kate; since I wanted to allow for the possibility she'd be looking for a bit of sexual entertainment too. Secondly, from what I could read, the large headland to the South protected the beach from the southerly winds and created a warmer micro-climate for this time of year. After all it would be winter up there too; just a warmer winter than we were getting.
With a bit of deft reorganisation of our Uni programme we managed to get most of Friday and Tuesday morning off, opening up the prospect of extending the holiday mood a bit. I found we could fly into Ballina, which was a shorter transfer and the flight got us there late morning, so booked us on that for the flight up, but leaving to go home from Coolangatta at about the same time as Kate's flight early Tuesday. Kate was due to fly in mid-afternoon Friday.
We wanted more privacy than a straight backpackers offered so found ourselves a hotel/motel not too far from the beach at a reasonable price. Fortunately, being winter and therefore off season, there didn't seem to be too much of a long weekend premium.
Winter is a relative term. At this time in Byron a nice winter's day could get up to 25 degrees Celsius and the ocean water hadn't yet started to cool too much, still being well over 20. Not bad really and that is the sort of day we flew in to.
After we checked in we had a choice. Sex or beach? It was of course tempting just to strip each other and go at it. But there were conflicting factors. The peak warmth of the day is relatively short and it was lunch time. By the time we'd had a good roll about and something to eat after, we might miss out on the chance for a swim before meeting up with Kate.
So instead we changed into swimmers and prepared for the beach. If you read my First Summer series, then you'll know that for Greg and me part of that preparation includes creaming each other with sunscreen and that we do it in such a way that, to say we leave each other somewhat aroused is a massive understatement.
So it was this time. By the time I'd finished with Greg he had a rock hard boner that had burst out of the waist band of his speedos and was trying to stretch itself up towards his navel while I was left with a less visible but no less demanding swollen clit. I couldn't help myself. I wrapped my hand around his shaft, pushed myself against him and my clit against his thigh and buried my tongue in his mouth. It felt good. It felt free again; maybe in a way it hadn't since our summer holiday had finished.
I savoured the closeness of his body and the raw sexuality of the moment. It was tempting to change our plans. When we teased up each other this way it always was. But we didn't. After a moment we managed to peel ourselves physically apart and continued down to the beach, stopping for a quick bite along the way.
